Advocacy group for lymphoedema starts online campaign in US
Complex wounds, Lymphoedema
The Lymphedema Advocacy Group has started a campaign to expand insurance coverage in the US for lymphoedema diagnosis and treatment.
The group's focus is on lobbying the US Senate and signing a Change.org petition for a new bill, which will implement better insurance coverage for patients with lymphoedema. The bill will ensure comprehensive treatment coverage, patient education, patient self-treatment plans and preventative measures for those at risk.
The group is organised by volunteers who are patients with the condition, care givers, clinicians and industry partners looking to support those with lymphoedema, encouraging patients to share their stories and raise awareness.

There's no shortage of rad watch designs—just have a look see at our features on Eone Time, Minus 8, Analog Watch Co., Mr Jones Watches and Ziiro (to name just a few). In the name of simplicity, watches have one job: to tell time. But what about when they don't do that? This is where Durr comes in.
Created by Theo Tveterås and Lars Marcus Vedeler—collectively named Skrekkøgle—the duo have come up with a concept watch manner that reminds us a bit of the Solar Light we covered from Jon Liow. By giving a quick shiver every five minutes, Durr is more about reminding the wearer to make the most of their daylight than being a timepiece. Check out this video to get a better idea of how it works:
Design-wise, it's a good look if you're into arm accessories—because it doesn't look much like a watch past its traditional silhouette. The hope is that the wearer will better tune into their day's natural rhythm with the frequent vibrations. No more 10-minutes-lost staring into space when you really should be finishing up a work project.
Honestly, I'm not too sure I'd like to know just how many 5-minute intervals are passing while I'm waiting in a doctor's office or trying to catch a train home. Not to mention half of the fun of free time is losing all sense of time. Or maybe I'm just one of those old souls on the search for few digital-free ticks of the clock. Although, it would be a great buy for those of you fond of feeding the "just five more minutes" line.
What do you think—is this the perfect reality check or just another reminder at how slowly time can pass? If this sounds like your kind of time-keeper, you can get more information on how to buy your own Durr here.

Softball: Oak Lawn gets swept by South Elgin
By Gary Larsen For Sun-Times Media March 26, 2014 8:18PM
South Elgin pitcher Rachel Ziemba winds up for a pitch vs. Oak Lawn. | Gary Larsen/For Sun-Times Media

In more ways than one, South Elgin's bats were blazing Wednesday in a two-game sweep of Oak Lawn.
"We worked a lot of small ball," Storm catcher Alyssa Buddle said. "And we have a lot of power this year."
South Elgin won 12-0 over Oak Lawn in the first game of a doubleheader at the Dome in Rosemont, then won 9-2 in the second game.
"That first game, South Elgin hit the heck out of the ball," Oak Lawn coach Brian Frangella said. "In the second game, we took better control of our at-bats and hit the ball hard, and they made some great plays."
None of the Storm's defensive plays were more pivotal than the one left fielder Brittany Koss made with the bases loaded in the sixth inning of the second game, when she made a diving catch of a line drive down the left-field line off the bat of Oak Lawn's Morgan Jozsa.
"That was a follow-up to a ball that got past (Koss) earlier," Storm coach Stephanie Katzenberger said. "She apologized, and I told her not to ever apologize for an error, just get the next one. And she did."
South Elgin (2-0) led 3-0 after an inning and 8-2 after four before scoring a run in the sixth to end the scoring. Alexa Rogalla went 3-for-4 in the win and the Storm got two hits apiece from Koss, Buddle, Mallory Mecklenburg and Paige Allen, who was also the winning pitcher in Game 1.
But the Storm's offensive star of the day was a sophomore.
"Cassidy Westlund crushed the ball," Katzenberger said of Westlund, who went 4-for-7 with eight RBI on the day.
Allen struck out three and gave up two hits in five innings in the first game while Taylor Rees gave up two runs on three hits in four innings in the second, with Rachel Ziemba earning the save.
"We've been doing a good job and the pitchers have been working their butts off in practice," Buddle said. "It really showed (Wednesday). Our pitchers did a really good job, a good balance of fast to slow, and movement."
Oak Lawn's Mia Loya had two hits in the second game. Ashley Labuda and Kayla Reichert knocked in the two runs for the Spartans (0-2).
Despite the two losses, Frangella was pleased with the day's defensive work put in by outfielders Kaleigh Hayes and Reily McTeague and catcher Hayden Landingham.
"We had much better looks at the plate in the second game, saw more pitches, and defensively I thought we played pretty sharp," Frangella said. "South Elgin is just a heck of a hitting team."

I am currently in a rented house in northern VA. Its an old neglected farmhouse, but there is evidence of previous owners who planted nice things (now overrun with weeds.) I was thrilled when I realized this big tree is a fig! The breba weren't very good, but tree-ripened figs the last 2 weeks have been encouraging! I have picked several buckets of figs so far, and there are many more to come! Does anyone care to guess on the variety? I can ship an infinite number of cuttings if anyone is interested---this tree is a monster! : ) See links below. The center is pale pinkish green. Thanks, Ann
Follow-Up Postings:
Ann, These figs look nice. Looking at the photo, it reminds me a bit like brunswick but it's not. How did it behave in the recent hurricane rain? Bass |
Ann, I don't know what type of fig it is but I would like some cuttings if possible. Looks like it's producing a nice crop of fruit. E-mail me if you're going to do some trimming. Thanks, |

Hi Bass, I picked every ripe fig before the storm, fearing the worst, and the tree was absolutely fine. It wasn't very windy here... I think I will take babies with me when I leave---already have a few growing in pots. They may not be the best figs in the world, but they are figs! And this tree seems to have thrived on neglect---I love that in a fruit tree! : ) Anyone else have any ideas? Thank you!! Ann |

But it all started a world away from the bright lights for this country boy. "I was born and raised on a sheep farm, in the Aussie outback and I wouldn't change a thing" says Greg. "I had always dreamed of becoming an entertainer and my parents were behind me all the way. I owe them everything." At the age of 11, Greg was leading the 'family dance band,' with his 2 brothers and 2 sisters, gaining invaluable experience…preparing him for what was to come. A television talent contest called "Showcase" brought Greg into the national spotlight. At just 16 years old he took home the grand prize and his career was off and running. He won the hearts of Australia, plus the attention of the major Sydney booking agents. He soon left the farm behind and became a professional entertainer in Sydney and throughout the country.
With over 150 national television appearances, recording success and countless club engagements to his credit in his homeland, Greg yearned to 'make it' overseas. With his wife and young daughter he headed of the England, to try his luck in the International market. He stormed audiences throughout the UK for six years, scoring his own TV specials with Southern Television and became a 'hit' in Eastern Europe…. selling an incredible 14 million records in Russia. Greg had always dreamed of performing in America and in one fateful night at London's famous "Talk of London," he was discovered by a Miami club owner. "It was meant to be" Greg said. "The USA was to become my new home, thanks to that one man and his belief in me." The fresh-faced Aussie, with his unique talent and style, caught the eye of Merv Griffin and Greg appeared on his TV show three times. He soon became the opening act for the stars, including Jay Leno, Don Rickles and Joan Rivers. Greg's career was off and running. Now he is a headliner in Las Vegas and Atlantic City and a favorite entertainer for corporate America. Based in Las Vegas, with a thriving international career, Greg says, "It sure is a long way from the farm but I wouldn't change a thing. I'm still that same country boy at heart, living my dream …to be "an entertainer."

Re: Java Example of writing a union
I'm assuming for now that you are using a specific writer and you have a union schema with two records FOO and BAR (you should get two classes FOO and BAR generated by avro tools):
FOO fooObj = .... BAR barObj = .... BAR barObj2 = .... ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); DatumWriter<GenericRecord> writer = new SpecificDatumWriter<Record>(yourSchema); encoder = EncoderFactory.get().binaryEncoder(out, encoder); writer.write(fooObj, encoder); writer.write(barObj, encoder); writer.write(barObj2, encoder); encoder.flush(); out.close(); Does it make sense?

Rated 4 out of 5 by kswaggg A Second Chance
So the first time I purchase and tried the Gevalia K-cups, every single k-cup filled my cup with coffee grounds. I called the company and customer service was VERY sympathetic and accommodating. They emailed me several coupons that covered my purchase price of the box. I hesitantly purchased more Gevalia K-cups when they were on sale at the grocery store. The taste is very smooth, and the second batch of k-cups did not leak any grounds into my cup. I will buy this product again and sincerely appreciate the customer service attention I was given with my complaint.

I ordered this coffee by mistake, I wanted the Dark Royal Roast and inadvertently ordered the Signature Blend.
What a nice surprise! The coffee is mellow and flavorful with a very nice aroma. Not as intense as the Dark Royal Roast but just as full bodied. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and order some.

I have been enjoying my Gevalia signature K-cups very much! Easy to use for the single cup of coffee on my way out the door. The best of the best!

I received a coupon for this item. I don't drink coffee, so I decided to use it to get this 12ct box and do something nice for a friend. They were very happy with the taste and quality of the coffee as they had not tried it before. It always feels good to do something nice for others that they really like.

The Signature Blend K-cup coffee was very much as tasting as if it were brewed. Not to strong nor bitter.
I will continue to use this brand and style for my Keurig.

Just bought Gevalia Signature Blend k-cup pkg. last night and brewed my first cup this morning. Is it normal to have coffee grounds in my cup?

Pushing it onto the spike doesn't work either. I love the Gevalia coffee but these signature k cups always leave grounds, I have tried everything to fix the problem but it never works. I stopped using them for ages knowing it had to be a design flaw, I even exchanged my machine thinking it was faulty. I just bought another box thinking they may have fixed the proble....NO still doesn't work.Age: 45-54

Do you have sampler packs? I need to find a full bodied bold, but smooth coffee. At present I prefer Coffee House Extra Bold
I was a regular Gevalia coffee drinker, but have not ordered in many years. I prefer a bold, strong (not bitter) coffee. That is why I am asking if you have sampler packs so that I can find one that I like. Most coffees are too weak.

The Booze Prescription Flask will serve you up your daily dose of shots. This hilarious booze concealer will let everyone know that you love to party, in full rock star style. This awesome flask would go great with a matching doctor's Halloween costume, or as a fun gift for an actual doctor.
The Booze Prescription Flask is printed with the same look that little pill bottles have. However, the prescription for this bottle is Boozemin, which in layman terms means more booze. The directions on the bottle are as simple as "Cheers and Enjoy." However it should probably also come with a warning label saying not to operate heavy machinery—such as driving a car—while enjoying this fun flask.

A History Of MMA
The modern day MMA has its origin in the Asian countries more specifically from East Asia, all the way to our location of Franklin TN. This is due to the fact that they had an elaborate system to pass it down over generations after generations unlike their western countries counterparts. With the development of modern science and technology, the western countries left the arts for weapons. The Martial Arts initially were used to maintain the fitness of warriors so that they were always ready to defend what is rightfully theirs. It was also used as a form of entertainment in times when peace and tranquility were prevalent.
Due to the diverse nature of martial arts, the history cannot all be traced back to a single country. The diverse styles have different origins at different points in time. In this sense exploring the different histories of the different styles would be advised if you are interested in a specific style of martial arts. Encryptions in Egypt evidence the presence of martial arts as early as 3000B.C. At around 2300B.C, Mesopotamia soldiers practiced some form of martial arts in the form of hand fighting. In Greece, combat was part of their Olympics by 700B.C. The Roman Pankration is also an initial form of martial arts.
In China the arts were practiced as early as 200 B.C. – and some of these same arts are still practiced in small towns like Franklin. The early festivals in Thailand used martial arts to entertain the guests and kings in addition to warfare and as a sport. Philippines were not an exception with several styles of martial arts practiced in the early years. These initial forms of martial arts were brutal and had very few or no rules at all. This means that victory could either be acclaimed if one of the fighters was in no condition to fight or in extreme cases, they lost consciousness or even their lives. If you are looking for something in the area we found Franklin TN MMA classes at an affordable price.
Efforts were then made to make these arts a bit more humane by introduction of rules as time progressed. Japan, Tokyo, United States were not left behind when it came to combat sports that included the mixed martial arts. Brazil is credited for the history of the "no holds barred" matches and the martial arts gained such popularity in the country that they were held in large play grounds or stadiums. They were also introduced into different Olympics championships all over the world. Although the sport was interesting to the public, it was banned in certain areas due to its brutal nature and the fact that it portrayed human life as a worthless thing that could be terminated just for entertainment. The Ultimate Fighting Championship also greatly contributed to the widespread popularity of the mixed martial arts due to the attention it attained from television networks that covered the events.
In Japan, the martial arts concentrated on the power of the body and point of impact and employed the use of kicking, blocking and striking. The modern martial sport that originated from this is the famous Karate that has gained popularity all over the world with different championships and competitions embracing it. Though the initial forms were a bit crude, the sport has been refined by the use of rules that the players are expected to abide to. The modern day karate also includes the performance of a series of actions by individuals in front of a panel who then award points to the players.
In the United States, the Helio Gracie family has contributed a lot to the development of the sport. They are accredited for the setting up of the Ultimate Fighters championship that promoted the popularity of the martial arts in America. The family also had their own challenge where they would compete against any other competitor who showed up. Their contribution to the martial arts has seen the sport grow especially in America.
The growth, development, refinement of the different forms of martial arts is broad and diverse with different personnel including people who later became world leaders, countries and different periods of time being involved. The modern day mixed martial arts have thus been born this way. Understanding the sport requires an in depth learning, practice and patience. it is hard to specialize in many disciplines of the art and thus identifying the one that interests you most and concentrating on it is advised.

That's not very helpful. A lot of bulbs "naturalize" aid try to conquer the world, and sometimes people have LOTS of bulbs to divide and share, and sometimes people want more variety than what everyone else in America is planting from Walmart. I too would love to SASE or trade for spring bulbs, but it looks like I'll have to shell out the big bucks to buy what I see in the catalogues. I have grape hyacinth to share. Looks like this post is older, but it's near the top of the page, so I don't get it. Anyhow, that's just my 2 cents. |

Professor Robert Dell
In New York City, more than 2,500 buildings use steam generated by Consolidated Edison, however not all of the steam is used. There is no recirculation system. The waste steam heat, in the form of steam condensate, is currently mixed with and cooled by the municipal water supply. This fluid is dumped into the sewer system creating thermal pollution, which wastes both potable water and energy. Prof. Robert Dell, Director of Mechanical Engineering's Laboratory for Energy Reclamation and Innovation, will determine the feasibility and economic viability of recapturing the waste steam to heat the soil of small urban gardens that will prolong the growing season and significantly increase crop yields. Prof. Dell is creating a self-regulating green-engineered system of heat exchangers, expansion tanks and controls that will heat the soil while replenishing the water using a Test bed Winter 06modified drip-irrigation process. If the concept is proven to be economically viable, green gardens could be found in New York City year round, enhancing the quality of life while conserving valuable resources. This technology could then be applied worldwide, wherever there is thermal pollution. Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. is providing technical assistance and The Albert E Nerken School of Engineering at Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art is providing additional space and laboratory facilities. Diversified Heat Transfer, Inc., will make its resources in Ridgewood Queens available for this grant. This Lindbergh Grant in Waste Management and Minimization is sponsored by J. Knox Bridges. |

Prof. Dell believes a great deal of energy has been spent on large-scale solutions for addressing the energy crisis. He feels a better approach is to target micro-solutions to optimize current energy usage. Capturing and using waste heat (thermal pollution) to warm the soil of small urban gardens accelerates plant growth and prolongs the growing season. This technique can also be used to extend the growing period of food crops in harsh climates, like Iceland.
Final Report
District Heating Services provide municipal steam distribution systems for the heating of building interiors and other commercial purposes. There is no recirculation system, so no all of this heat can be used. This waste heat, in the form of hot water or steam condensate, creates thermal pollution. Dell believes thermal pollution should be used to heat the soil of small urban gardens, which accelerates plant growth and prolongs the growing season. In New York City, he used the wasted energy to heat the soil of green roofs.

The district of Mestre is part of the Comune di Venezia, although it's located on the mainland.
Mestre is 4 km or 2.5 miles from Venice's historic center, and it's linked to the centro storico by a causeway that consists of a road bridge (the Ponte della Libertà) and the Venice Railway Bridge.
Many visitors stay in Mestre or its neighbor, Marghera, because hotels are cheaper and parking is more convenient than in central Venice. (From the Venezia Mestre Railroad Station, it's only a 10- to 15-minute train ride into the city.)
On this page, we've provided three satellite images of Mestre:
The top photo gives an overview of Mestre, Marghera, and the industrial quarter of Porto Marghera (where cruise ships are built at the Fincantieri shipyard). Near the lower right corner of the picture, you can see the road and train causeway (labeled "Della Libertà").
The second photo shows the Venezia Mestre Railroad Station, whose tracks divide Mestre (north) from Marghera (south). The station's entrance, buffet, and other amenities are on the left side. (Several good but moderately-priced hotels, such as the Best Western Hotel Bologna, are directly across from the station.) The Mestre airport bus to Venice Marco Polo Airport departs from a few streets to the right of the station entrance, near the caption that reads "Viale Stazione."
If you're driving to Mestre and are visiting Venice only for the day, you may want to consider parking at the Parcheggi San Giuliano (the tree-shaded lot above the canal in our third photo), which has direct waterbus service to the historic center of Venice.

Henrietta, the intrepid Ballard traveling hen, is again on the loose. Her owner, Lisa Mudgett, tells us she flew the coop just a day ago. "She wasn't in her coop sleeping when we got home last night, so we're guessing she's on another neighborhood adventure," Mudgett writes.
Henrietta's last adventure was around Thanksgiving during a big wind and rain storm. "If anyone finds a stray chicken in his/her yard, we'd really like to have her back home safe and sound. And we clearly need to invest in some better containment for our yard…" Mudgett adds.
If you have any information on Henrietta's whereabouts, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Alien Writings and Symbols Symbols were found in the Mediterranean and in Glozel, in France... |
At the time of the famous crash landing of an UFO with Roswell, in July 1947, Jesse Marcel had recovered the remains which contained strange symbols. Thereafter his/her son could reproduce those thanks to hypnosis: Look at these inscriptions:
However, the same symbol was found in the Mediterranean and in Glozel, in France, at the time of archaeological discoveries between the two wars! The site of Glozel, close to Vichy, had been updated by a farmer, Emile Fradin. Among the discovered objects, engraved shelves of alphabetical signs Well before Phénécie, the center of France would have been inhabited by evolved/moved people, using an alphabetical writing. According to Serge Hutin unknown civilizations, Éd. Marabout, 1972. See page 180 to 183 the mystery of Glozel. In the Fifties, celebrates it contacted George Adamski accepted in particular the preceding message, being reproduced on a film restored by a saucer in flight in Palomar Gardens, U.S.A, in 1952.
Now, compare with the table hereafter due to the archaeologist and exploring French Marcel Homet, who discovered these symbols during his forwarding in Amazonia of North, among the Brazilian megaliths of Pedra Pinta, engraved there is more than 10.000 years! Published in its work The sounds of the sun, by Neuville Sperman, London, in 1963! And here fabulous history arrived at a young farmer of Brazil in the night of October 15, 1957; Antonio Villas Boas was constrained to in addition make love with one extraterrestrial, tempting, aboard UFO! Antonio could read the following inscription above the door of the machine: Symbol read by Antonio Villas Boas Drawn from In search from the humanoïdes by Charles Bowen, Éd. I read, 1974. Page n° 280. On April 24, 1964, the police officer Lonnie Zamora was confronted with a meeting brought closer with an UFO, with Socorro, New Mexico. He was able to reading the symbol which follows, drawn in red on the machine: Symbol seen by Lonnie Zamora See the same book of Charles Bowen, page n° 162. Reading of the book of the friend Guy Tarade Flying saucers and civilizations of in addition to-space, Éd. I read, appeared in 1969, brings additional elements of information concerning the same sign. To traverse the chapter the writing of the mothers in the sky of Soccoro, pages 103 to 106. For Guy Tarade: These initials constitute an old writing, the alphabet of a primitive language, which we can interpret by: we are the Mothers of the Universal Temple fertilized by Unknown God (or first causes it). Indeed, the half-circle means the letter M which, in all the languages, refers to the mother. Always having its same value, this symbol still exists in the Berber language. The two bars indicate the Temple to the two columns (L in our alphabet). The central arrow, it is a simple bar: the menhir, rough stone: the Being ONE, Unknown God. The horizontal feature, which underlines the unit, represents, him, the universe moving. The Egyptians had, to represent the universe, a special hiéroglyphe which was a paper roller closed by seals. These symbols raised by Zamora can be read from right to left, or from left to right or indifferently upwards and from top to bottom. As the Tamachek which him also is read in zigzags. Scholars linguists see in the Berber writing the survival of the language of the Telamones. Amazones had makes they the conquest of the island before its disappearance and borrowed from overcome the their alphabet, it is not impossible. However let us not forget only the end of Atlantis, which one locates at the time of the flood, corresponded to a time when all the people of the Earth spoke the same language and used the same signs to correspond. We mentioned above than religious organizations were not unaware of anything the underhand fight which is played in the universe and more particularly on the terrestrial sphere between the matriarchy and the patriarchate. The signs raised by Zamora will come to support our thesis. This symbol in half-circle of the M dominating the Temple is employed since highest antiquity. It is the universally allowed seal of maternity and the reproduction. Among Hebrews, the letter Mem is regarded as one of the three letters mothers. The Egyptian word Mother (must) starts with a M as in the majority of the Indo-European languages. The image which in Egypt represented the M was the owl. Ancient Minerve was represented on the vases of the Neolithic era with a head of owl! Sponsor of Troiens1, it was also reproduced on the monuments of megalithic of a nonappraisable age. It is in a vase with head of owl that the archaeologist Henry Schliemann deposited, says one, a secret will reporting the precise point where Atlantis lay. In South America, Précolombiens engraved per thousands the head of owl which, for them, represented Vénus2. Minerve Glaucopis had the green eyes, color of Evening star. The Hebrew kabbalists governors of a patriarchal worship dedicate the owl with the anathema. For them, this alive image of the M female, they made of it the wife of the Prince of darkness. In this primitive language, owl is written besides like Lilith. Outline a few moments in the sky of New Mexico by the police officer Zamora, the initials materialized on the flying saucer come from another world, invites us to reconsider all the problem of the Unidentified flying objects which, since centuries, haunt our skies and undoubtedly direct our own destiny. Fine of quotation. We interest at present in the signs of extraterrestrial the Ummites, expensive in Jean-Pierre Petit, found in their reports/ratios. Consult the work Ummo, the extraterrestrial language, by Antonio Ribéra. Éd. rock, 1984. Let us note that this symbol of Ummo was seen on the UFO of Voronej, the USSR, on September 27, 1989: )+(
However, one finds very an inscription approaching there close, in the petroglyphs of southernmost Venezuela and Brazilian Amazonia! Writing of the Ummites See the book of Marcel Homet To the continuation of the solar gods, Éd. I have Lu, 1974, page n° 46. As a cover for two booklet the secret government, the origin, identity and the goal of the MJ-12 and Operation Trojan horse, Earth with the hands of small the Gray, Éd. Louise Courteau, is reproduced the emblem of the GRAY, Trilatéral badge: a black triangle on red bottom. Let us note that the triangle is a universal symbol of our humanity GRAY invaders, mutilateurs, kidnappers and in full activity on our satellite the Moon! In its book They were not alone on the Moon, Éd. Belfond, published in 1978, George Leonard mentions various symbols raised on the surface of our satellite. See pages 162 and 163. One often finds enormous E or F on the bottom of several craters. Also the signs which resemble our letters A, X and P find also a little everywhere. The following sign frequently appears on the surface of the Moon, almost always registered in a circle or an oval. Leonard calls it the tree of life, and it is one of the oldest symbols of humanity in his opinion: This symbol resembles much that of the writing Ummite (see above), and with that observed by Lonnie Zamora in Socorro!. The aliens leave prints of faces over Mars and the Moon, resembling human configurations, like their writings. These extraterrestrial rebuses offer, the least which one can say, of astonishing similarities with our own humanity. It is said that these symbols are found in particular in the writing of the old Germanic tribes of Northern Europe, the runes! But also in some hiéroglyphes Egyptian, and the Chinese and Japanese writing! Then, certain extraterrestrial would they be our creators or our cousins? |

On the second floor, Indian, European, and American ashramites were working on a colossal project: the publication of the corrected works of Sri Aurobindo in 36 volumes. After retiring from politics, Aurobindo famously spent 24 years shut away in three small rooms, writing poems andessays that carefully recorded the progress of his yoga. In an air-conditioned office, Richard, a bearded American Sanskrit scholar dressed in white, was examining these texts with monklike patience. "Sometimes I have to look over a hundred instances of a word to determine precisely what Aurobindo meant by it," he told me gravely.
"We do get things done," Peter assured me, after we got downstairs to the high-ceilinged office that serves as the ashram's publishing house. Medha, a cheerful Aurobindo devotee from Mumbai,working in front of floor-to-ceiling shelves of manuscripts, laughed and interjected, "But I think that's because of grace."
Temple elephants, who will snuffle up your rupees with their lavishly decorated trunks and then give you a blessed pat on the head, are ubiquitous in Tamil Nadu; the one at the Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple just down the street from the ashram is particularly friendly. After we left the temple, Peter took me to the ashram bookshop, SABDA, which is stocked with literature on Hinduism, Sanskrit scholarship, and, of course, the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Curious visitors (those not quite curious enough for the complete 36 volumes) can also sample the founders' wisdom in the form of pamphlets devoted to particular topics. I passed over "How to Cultivate Concentration," "Know Thyself and Forget Thyself," and "The Mother on Desires" in favor of"HappyBirthday," feeling as if I were buying Cliff's Notes in front of an English teacher.
"It's my birthday," I said defensively.
Peter looked startled. "But why didn't you say something?We have to get you a pass!"
Friends had told me that I would need a pass for nearly everything in the ashram—to sleep in the guesthouse, to eat (in strictlymaintained silence) in the ashram dining room, and to meditate near the Mother and Aurobindo's tomb—but this seemed to be taking things a bit far.
"I need a pass to have my birthday?" I asked.
Peter explained that your birthday is the only day of the year that you can visit Aurobindo's preserved and sealed-off rooms. He checked his watch. "We have to hurry," he said. "It might be too late."
We rushed to a small office in the ashram's main building, where a birthday passgiving ashramite graciously made an exception and issued me a ticket for the following morning. "After all," Peter reasoned, "it will still be your birthday in America."
Before coming to Pondicherry, I had visited a friend in Mumbai, Pheroza Godrej, an elegant Parsi woman in her nineties. We sat in her courtyard apartment on Hughes Road, eating rapidly melting strawberry ice cream, while Pheroza described her own visit to Pondicherry more than a half century earlier, when Aurobindo was still alive: "They're all the time saying, 'Make your darshan and keep moving, keep moving,'" she remembered. "But how can you move when his eyes are on you?You're fixed to the spot."
Of course, darshan—a blessing received by viewing a holy person—is a little different once the holy man is no longer there.When you enter the ashram courtyard, the first thing you see is the samadh—the marble tomb that holds the remains of Aurobindo and the Mother—which is perpetually covered with flowers. The private rooms upstairs are kept just as they were when Aurobindo was alive. When I arrived with my birthday pass at 9:30 the next morning, the staircase to the inner sanctum was already crowded with people, some of them holding marigolds and roses as offerings. At the appointed moment, we were allowed to file silently into the guru's rooms.
Like my paternal grandmother, Sri Aurobindo seems to have been crazy for collectibles. I saw vitrines crowded with carved ivory elephants, Greek amphorae, and Dresden figurines—all gifts from devotees. Unlike my grandmother, Aurobindo owned six or seven large tiger heads, with open jaws and glass eyes, which he kept lined up on a table in the antechamber. Inside the room everything had been preserved: the chair where the yogi received visitors; his bed, covered with a pink nylon spread; his fan and goosenecked reading lamp. We sat in silence for about 15 minutes in front of a large portrait of Aurobindo as an old man; afterward, the ashramites dismissed us with fresh garlands, birthday cards, and tiny sepia portraits of the Mother.
Although visitors often confuse the ashram at Pondicherry with its neighbor Auroville, the two are entirely separate entities.A bumpy, 20-minute ride away, by white Ambassador taxi, Auroville was founded as an international community in 1968. Today its 1,700 residents come from more than 35 countries and live in dramatically varied settlements—everything from cashew farms to avant-garde art studios to Florida-style condos—spread out in a rough spiral over 10 square miles of land. Philosophically, Auroville is distinct from the ashram, dedicated not to Aurobindo's Integral Yoga but to the Mother's vision of international "human unity."
Those with a serious interest are encouraged to stay and work in the community, but even a day trip from Pondicherry is rewarding. Auroville is home to a number of architects who have let their imaginations loose; the public buildings (particularly the ultramodern Bharat Nivas, an Indian cultural center, and the new town hall) are unlike any others in the world. Because the community's geography is confusing, it's best to either begin with a tour from thevisitors' center—or make an Aurovillian friend. As Anu Majumdar, a novelist from Calcutta who has lived in Auroville for 30 years, put it: "You can't see Auroville from the road."
What you can see, from quite a distance, is the 95-foot-high Matrimandir, the enormous sphere covered with gold-plated discs that marks the center of the community. The Aurovillians have been laboring to complete this monument to their founder's vision since the early seventies, and they're still putting on the finishing touches. After obtaining another pass, from the kiosk inside the gate, you enter the structure and follow the spiral walkway up to a dim inner chamber, where an attendant provides you with a pair of regulation white socks. Inside the chamber, you sit on white cushions around the Mother's globe—a flawless crystal sphere, illuminated by a single beam of light from a skylight directly overhead. Aurovillians will tell you that the Matrimandir is not for formal meditation; in the words of the Mother, it's something simpler, "a place...for trying to find one's consciousness."
Most people don't come to Auroville for the beach, but the community's stretch of coastline is palm-fringed and lovely. There are few visitors, especially during the hot season, and staring at the sea provides a welcome break from other spiritual labors. Just off the beach, at the Quiet Healing Center, I tried a hatha yoga class in a bright, high-ceilinged studio. After a rigorous hour in the 90-degree heat, I decided to sign up for a massage. I followed a Tamil masseuse up to a thatched hut on the roof, where she immediately changed from her sari into a T-shirt and shorts, then instructed me: "You—everything but panties!" I anticipated something painful and healthy, and was pleasantly surprised by the soothing strokes of the ayurvedic technique. The massage hut (equipped with a ceiling fan fastened to a beam)kept out the sun and circulated the breeze. The only drawback was the copious amount of oil; by the time I left, an hour later, I had become a sort of human samosa.
On my last night, I returned to Pondicherry proper to attend the evening meditation at the Aurobindo ashram. At the appointed time, an ashramite rang a brass bell and all the lights went out, except for one blue lamp above the samadh. In the dark, the tips of the incense sticks glowed like tiny orange pairs of eyes. The noise from outside the walls—autorickshaw horns, bells of the street hawkers, someone's cell phone playing "Für Elise"—seemed truly separate from what was going on inside. That community and its guests, sitting together in perfect silence, represented another version of what I love about India: its proud variety, the distinctness of each particular place. India Lite, perhaps, but hardly the dead city of its colonial past.

Ducati Chilé posted a link to these photos on our Facebook page, and we'd thought we'd share them with the 10 people who read A&R, but aren't friends with us on Facebook (do you see what we're doing there with the links?). Showing a glimpse of the nine-time World Champion getting ready to pose with his new Ducati Corse leathers and the Desmosedici GP11, we like the trend we're seeing of images and video of Rossi's quasi-personal life coming to the surface — they add an element to the story that fans normally don't get to see. We're not sure on the photo credits, but we have a feeling it might be the work of Gigi Soldano.
I don't facebook, it's just a big competition to make your life look more impressive to other people…that and a vehicle for advertising. So, thanks for posting this here.
+1 what he said. Thanks for sharing here.
I see what you're doing there and if you keep it up you might lose those 10 people, myself included. I read this site and don't want to have to also keep up to date with your facebook page.
Pardon the rant but I'm getting tired of web sites goading me into liking / following / sharing their facebook pages.
Ditto everyone above especially Duz comments. I visit here everyday so keep it comming.
I agree with the above. You can keep facebook and all the other social media sites. I'm not sharing my info./////////////////////////
yea no freakbook for me either, posting links here is just fine. thanks
say no to facebook and other social network…..
I feel a less than fortuitous year coming for the Ducati cult.
Oh, and Val, shave !
Willie…don't be hatin'…the desmo gods will look out for the Doctor and Nicky…the "cult" will flourish in 2011!!
Yep, FB no thanks. I'm too busy living my real life to try and live a digital one.
I guess this makes me #10.
LOL, what a bunch of anti-chic wowsers.
I'd rather be riding. ;-)
Haters of Social Networking.
IF you want to brag on Facebook so be it…It works a treat on the iPhone4!
You all lose 'precious' time on starting up that aged PC.
While i and others see @ an instant the eNews.Which leaves you more quality time for let's see… riding! : )
The nuovo Desmo16 will work for both Rosifumi and Nicky-san.
The Ball is in Lorenzo court #NOWThanks , I too have nothing against FB but you won"t see me there either.
Hey! Thanks to you A&R I don't have to subscribe to motorcycle mags anymore! Make that eleven, and I'll look you up on facebook for good measure.

Note: The following text may contain spoilers
LIFE FEELS GOOD is a Polish language drama, with English subtitles, based on the true story of Mateusz, a man with cerebral palsy who was wrongly determined to be mentally disabled as a child.
- Nudity
Strong sexualised nudity is seen as a man looks at a pornographic magazine containing images of topless women. There is also a scene in which a woman strips to the waist and encourages Mateusz to touch her breast. Another scene shows Mateusz as a child, being entertained by the sight of a woman's bare breasts as she changes her clothes.
Further issues include three uses of strong language ('f**k'), and some scenes of emotional intensity as Mateusz struggles to communicate his wishes to those around him. There is also the suggestion of domestic violence in a scene where a man shouts at his family, rips the phone out of the wall and then draws the curtains. We don't see what happens next.

Would like to add to new bed of daffodils and muscari. Last fall I planted "Milk & Honey" daffs. What varieties can I add that will complement them and that bloom at same time. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have a picture of Milk & Honey? I've never seen it. |
Did you by any chance get the Milk and Honey from Brent and Becky's Bulbs? If so, it looks like it was bred by Brent and Becky (Heath) and Daffseek shows it to be a late variety. Are there multiple blooms per stem? I see it has not been registered, yet anyway, and wonder why they gave it a name that existed already, just causing much confusion (imho) the daff collecting community...sigh. 3 different daffs named Milk and Honey, yet only one is registered...the one bred by William F.M. Copeland with its first flowering pre 1919. Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Milk and Honey bred by Brent and Becky
Yes, I did get these from Brent & Beckys. However, only one small bloom per stem, fragrant and the foliage is rush like. Not offered in B&B Fall 2010 catalog. |
However, only one small bloom per stem, fragrant and the foliage is rush like. Probably once they are established in your garden soil, you will see multiple blooms per stem on at least some of them. Ok...Daffseek has that listed as a late variety. What varieties can I add that will complement them and that bloom at same time. Sue |

SPOTTED: Galen Rupp Breaks American Indoor 3000 M Record in Nike Zoom Victory
Twenty-six-year-old track and field sensation Galen Rupp has just set the US indoor record for 3,000 meters, clocking in at 07:30:16. The Oregon alum competed in the XL-Galan meet in Stockholm, representing his Nike sponsorship.
Rupp's already proved his skills by taking home the 2012 Olympic silver medal in the 10,000 meter race. His time was not only good enough to set a new American record, but it's also the best time for 3,000 meters in the world so far in 2013. His weapon of choice appears to be a version of the Nike Zoom Victory, which he's also been spotted racing in prior to the London Games. If you feel like breaking your own record, pick up a pair from Nike here.

140th Running of the Kentucky Derby
Kentucky Derby - The Kentucky Derby is the World's most famous horse race, and the first jewel of the Triple Crown. On the first Saturday of May, America's best 3-year old Thorough-breds assemble at historic Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. For well over a hundred years, the Kentucky Derby has been the opening event that heralds Spring and Kentucky's social season, for the parties given prior to the Derby are as legendary as the race itself.
Immediately before the Derby, many events occur daily offering various kinds of entertainment. From the Great Balloon Race, to riverbank picnics enjoyed while the steam boats are racing down the Ohio River, the fantastic fireworks display, Thunder Over Louisville and the Pegasus Parade, the people of Kentucky enjoy entertaining long before the actual day of the Derby. NBC and ESPN will cover the entire event.
History was made at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May, as the second-largest crowd in Derby history witnessed the second-longest shot ever win the 131st Run for the Roses. Giacomo, a 50-1 longshot, paid a whopping $102.60 to win before 156,435 sun-drenched fans under the Twin Spires. Only Donerail's $184.90 payoff in 1913 and the 163,628 that witnessed the centennial Derby of 1974 were greater. A full field of twenty went to post in this Grade 1, $2 million classic event with Wood Memorial winner Bellamy Road sent off as the 5-2 favorite over 9-2 second choice Afleet Alex.

I am having engineered hardwood installed next week in the kitchen, dining room, and living room. My daughter has felt pads from Wal-Mart on the bottom of her furniture, and it seems they come off after a week and the furniture scrapes anyway. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to put on the bottom of the furniture? The bookcase and TV stand and china cabinet won't be moving anywhere much, so I don't think that will be a problem. But the kitchen and dining room chairs, and the recliner and loveseat might move a lot. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We installed hardwood in June & my dining chairs and such have the felt stick on pads. So far I haven't had any come off. I dislike them because dog hair sticks to the small exposed glue, no matter that I sweep everyday. That said, it does protect my floors. I used other felt pads that get hammered in on some new end tables and they won't come off. Couldn't use them on other things, because I could not get the plastic things off the chair legs. |
Ive boughten some felt pads in the past that have done this. A little glue on the pad will help. |
- Posted by forboystoo (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 12 at 23:25
Mine didn't stick either.. I did pick-up something like the attached (nail on) but I have not used them yet because my floors are not done :( I got them at Home Depot. |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.hardwareandtools.com/Felt-Guard-Pads-and-Slides/?cfilters[]=material=Felt&cfilters[]=features=Nail-On
The Shepherd Hardware ones in the pic with the rivets, rather than the nail ones, are the better choice. These are the type as manufactured as "SafeGlides" by Glitsa. The rivet is permanently embedded in the nylon body and cannot easily be dislodged in use, and the felt is over 1/8" thick. Once the felt wears down to the nylon body, they should be replaced. Felt glides are inexpensive and can help prevent damage to surface flooring. I have yet to see the swivel type, but if they are anything like the nylon ones that Armstrong used to make...with felt added, then they would be excellent. We used to install the Armstrong floor protectors and then add self-adhesive felt pads to them for maximum protection. |
Try the new GlideGuys Glides. Easy to install, tilt.swivel and roll like a horizontal caster. Bases interchange for hardwood and carpet. www.GlideGuys.com |
Clever invention. |

The Fastest Way to Cover Gray Hair
If you're in between salon appointments and need a quick way to touch up a few stray grays, swipe a mascara that matches the rest of your hair onto those strands. You can also use a touch-up product, which is temporary color that comes in a mascara-like tube and will wash out during your next shampoo.
If you have a handful of gray hairs, spritz a volumizing spray onto the roots before you blow dry. Since gray hair is more noticeable on flat hair, the volume will help hide the grays.
