The State's first folklore study centre was inaugurated at M.M.Hills in Chamarajanagar district recently to revive over 180 varieties of folklore traditions and provide support to the artistes. The setting up of the centre was a long-pending demand of the people. The Chamarajanagar MP, Druvanarayan, while inaugurating the centre, said it should protect folklore traditions and culture and document them in a scientific way.
Presiding over the function, the Vice-Chancellor of the folklore university, Ambalike Hiriyanna, said the State bagged the credit of opening the world's first folklore university. He said the study centre at M.M.Hills will train 25 students in folklore art, free of cost. A committee of expert will be formed to streamline the functions of the centre. A survey of local Soligas, Jenu kadu kurubas and Bedagampanas will be done for the sake of documentation.
The previous Janata Dal(S)-BJP coalition Government headed by H.D. Kumaraswamy decided to establish the study centre at M.M. Hills and allocated Rs. 3 crore for it. The present Cooperation Minister, H.S. Mahadev Prasad, who was Minister for Kannada and Culture in the JD(S)-BJP coalition government, took keen interest in the setting up of the centre.
The proposal to set up the centre at M.M. Hills was welcomed by folklorists because of the heritage value and eco-tourism potential of the place. Manteswamy and Siddappaji, who contributed to the rich folk heritage of the State, hailed from this region. Though funds had been earmarked and land identified for the study centre, work on it is yet to be completed. Now, the move to inaugurate a folklore study centre has caught the attention of folk artistes and folklore experts.
Jaanapada jatre is the confluence of rural and urban cultures for better mutual understanding. The distinction between folk culture and mass culture rests on the difference between two basic types of societies. The jatre is an attempt to reintroduce urban people to their rural beginnings.
Folk artistes from all the districts of Karnataka have given awesome performances in various parts of the State and have satiated the cultural thirst of urban people. The rural people of Karnataka have also largely benefitted from this. The Jaanapada Jatre has achieved an unprecedented success in and outside Karnataka. The urban people have extended their love and affection to folk artistes who have come from distant villages to perform.
Where it began
The shows began on October 14, 2006, in front of the Vidhana Soudha in Bangalore and continue in various places even today, fulfilling the ambition of the government to bridge the gap between the villages and the cities. One jatre had been organised in Mumbai in February 2008 to reach Kannadigas residing in different parts of Mumbai and promote harmony of language and culture.
For the show in front of the Vidhana Soudha, there were over 300 folk artistes from every nook and corner of Karnataka. One senior artiste was chosen to be honoured by the Chief Minister and that was Puttamalle Gowda,a legendry Goravara Kunitha artiste hailing from Chamarajanagar.
Chamarajanagar and other backward districts of Karnataka have a rich folklore tradition. There are more than 180 folk forms including karaga, Chowdike Mela, Pooja kunitha, Kinnari Mela, Halakki Suggi kunitha, Kangeelu kunitha, Jogathi kunitha, Khani vaadana, Tamate, Pataa kunitha, Veeragaase, Neelagarara Hadu, Beesu-kamsale kunitha, Sobaane pada, Gee Gee pada, Keelu kudure, Goravara kunitha, Gaarudi Gombe and Maragalu. The artistes of Sutrada Gombe and Togalu Gombe are settled at Yediyur in Chamarajanagar taluk and Kabballi in Gundlupet taluk.
Mari-kunita artistes are seen in Yelandur, Kollegal and Chamarajanagar taluks. The Kaademme Dodda kunita is a rare folk dance form which is popular in Kollegal. The Dollu kunitha of the Halumata (Kuruba) community is popular in Chamarajanagar district. Artists from Halumata community participate in fairs which are held in M.M.Hills during Deepavali, Shivarathri and Ugadi festivals. Lingada Beerana kunitha from Chamarajanagar taluk is one the famous rural folk forms.
Most of the major forms of folkfore of the district are connected with mythological characters or local gods and goddesses such as Mallikarjuna of Mudukutore, Male Mahadeshwara, Rangaswamy of Biligirirangaswamy Hills, Mallappa of Kongalli and the disciples of Manteswamy, namely Siddappaji of Chikkallur and Rachappaji of Kappadi. Professional singers, called Devaraguddas and Neelagaras, are found all over Chamarajanagar district. The folk song tradition relating to deities such as Himavad Gopalaswamy, Honakarappa, Parvathi, Maddanesha, Yagamma and Baragi Mari is popular in Gundlupet taluk.
Kamsale is performed by the devotees of Lord Mahadeshwara. "Kamsale Mela" is a popular folk song which deals with the history of Male Mahadeshwara. The name refers to brass cymbals held in the hands and its origin is traced to the mythological period.
Beesu kamsale is a unique dance form combining religious fervour with marital dexterity. The artistes dance in synchronisation. The instruments in the course of the rhythmic beatings are moved around the body of the dancer in innumerable patterns, manifesting both skill and art. In a group movement the dancer provides the vision of a series of offensive and defensive manoeuvres, which is a testimony to the Kuruba people being of marital stock.
Veeragaase is related to Veerabhadra. "Gejje" or anklets, brass "gaggara" at the knee, "vastra" at the waist, saffron "jubba" and "kacche, Rudra's image on the chest, and "vibhuti" on the forehead characterise the attire of the Veeragaase dancer.
Holding swords in his hands the dancer begins with a narrator describing the story. The percussions "karade" and "samala" provide the background sound track.
Dancing to this the artistes display their war techniques. They also narrate Shiva's demolition of Daksha. The Veerashaivas of Karnataka take part in this art form on all important ritualistic occasions.
Dollu kunitha
Dollu kunitha is a big percussion instrument famous in Karnataka. The dollu is a drum cut out of the trunk of a tree. On the left side the skin of the female goat and on the right side the skin of the male goat is mounted.
There are many kinds of Dollu kunitha in the State. In north Karnataka, the dancers wear a "kambali" at the waist. In Shimoga, the dancers wear leaves. "Gejje" is common for both. Around 20 dancers, bearing the dollu, beat and dance rhythmically. This unique group dance not just combines sound and speed but even integrates new ideas in an unusual way -through vigorous drum dance, powerful drumming, acrobatic movements and synchronised group formations. One can feel the thunderous beats the dollu emits, listen and understand mythological, historical and social themes narrated to the powerful musical accompaniment of cymbals.
Kurubas ritualise Lord Mylaralinga whereas Deevas celebrate the Gowri festival and Deepavali festival.
The opening of the folk study centre at M.M.Hills will help in rejuvenating traditional folk arts.
The study centre was opened with a grand display of various folklore dances. Folklore experts from various universities were present.
V. Paneesha
Study centre at M.M. Hills will enrich folklore, say experts
The Jaanapada Jatre has been a big hit all over the State, and urban dwellers loved the show

drying corn stalks
I have grown stalks of Indian corn this year, which I plan on using for fall decoration. I did the same last year and let them dry in their spot in the garden, only to have them destroyed at the last moment by squirrels trying to get at the ears.
this year I have planted some veggies for late fall harvest and they are being shaded by the large stalks. the stalks are still green, but have the ears on them now. I was wondering if stalks will dry naturally if I pulled them out now and stored them in my garage until I'm ready to place them in the fall decor? It would also protect them from the squirrels. Or do they need to stay in the ground and "dry" there for some reason?
Does anyone know?
As soon as the ears are fully matured ( kernals hard), you can cut the stalks and stand them upright in bunches ( shocks) to complete drying. Before corn pickers our forefathers did thier filed corn this way. You still have to protect them from squirrels and mice.
Here is a link that might be useful: corn shocks
If the ears are not mature and the kernels hard, cutting the stalks now will result in shrunken kernels which won't be very attractive.
Also, if you cut the stalks and dry/store in the garage, they will retain their current color. When the corn matures and the stalks start to dry down or freeze down, the sun and moisture serve to bleach the color out to create the "fall" look. As a result in order to get that fall appearance to the stalks you will need to leave them outside long enough to ripen and dry down. Once there, you can cut the stalks and store where the squirrels won't get them.

ImageMagick is not a PHP image processing library, it's a stand-alone package that can be accessed from PHP. It is incredibly more feature-rich than GD. See the ImageMagick Usage page with hundreds of examples. GD supports very primitive operations only (copying, resizing, geometric primitives, basic text rendering).
Everyday things ImageMagick does better:
What data have you obtained so far?
What functionality are you looking for? I would suggest a Google search first if you have done no research
If you want portability, stick with GD is available in almost every server that runs PHP.
If you want to use a more powerful library or image manipulation is crucial to your application AND you can control your environment, then go for ImageMagick.

Flu season continues but numbers coming down
People may still be coming down with the flu in Dallas County, but the seasonal outbreak continues to decline.
Only 9 percent of flu tests countywide came back positive for the week ending Feb. 14. Nationally, 13 percent of the specimens reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were positive for flu that week.
No new deaths were reported by Dallas County Health and Human Services, although flu-related fatalities remain at 15 adults and no children since the season began.
Sixteen hospitalizations from the flu were reported, down from 24 in the previous week. The seasonal total stands at 923 people hospitalized. The outbreak appears to have peaked in December.
For the first time this season, 53 percent of the new flu cases involved a B-strain flu rather than the A-strain, H3N2, which has comprised about 70 percent of the illnesses sweeping the nation. This particular A-strain was not well matched in the flu vaccine.

Orioles' D hurting young pitchers
The Birds' bad leather has impacted its young pitching staff's confidence
If their current pace holds, the Baltimore Orioles will come dangerously close to losing 100 games, an ignominy they have somehow avoided since 1988 despite their 14 consecutive losing seasons.
It was not supposed to be this way.
Last season's abrupt turnaround from a 32-73 record under Dave Trembley and Juan Samuel to 34-23 under Buck Showalter seemed to indicate a newfound competence, one that was supposed to be further improved this year by a young starting staff that would be a year older, a year better, and augmented by top pitching prospect Zach Britton, Baseball Prospectus' No. 17 prospect coming into the season.
The season-opening rotation of Jeremy Guthrie, Chris Tillman, Britton, Jake Arrieta, and Brad Bergesen -- with an injured Brian Matusz waiting in the wings -- was supposed to give the Orioles a cadre of electric hurlers who would grow into dominance and haul the team back to competitiveness in spite of the team's lack of promising young position players.
To read more on how the Orioles atrocious defense has hurt the confidence of its burgeoning young pitching staff, become an ESPN Insider today.

"Very well decorated house and spotlessly clean but some disappointments"
Greenhills is in a lovely, quiet location (apart from the barking of the dog when the owners were out) and has been made into holiday accommodation of a very high standard. It is spotlessly clean. H… More
Thank you for taking the time to write your review.
I take on board your comments about the breakfast. I had reduced the amount put out as there has previously been a lot of wasted food.However I would have been more than happy to provide additional supplies. It is disapointing that you did not feel able to speak to me about this during your stay. Likewise the lack of the 6th chair was an oversight on my part, as I had borrowed it to read a meter and had forgooten to put it back. It would have been no trouble to get it for you and I apologise for this oversight.
I do feel the amount of crockery is sufficent (e.g. we supply 18 dinner plates, 17 side plates etc)and other guests have commented on how well equipped the property is. There is, as you mention, a dishwasher for guests use.
We will look into fitting a blind for the kitchen window and will in future provide an umbrella for the outside dining tables. You were fortunate to come during a particularly hot Summer in England! We have had the door fixed, and explained to you the problem when you arrived and the need to wait for a spcialist engineer.
We do ensure that none of our family or any other visitors go round the back of the annexe whilst guests are staying, to give guests their privacy. We feel it would be a shame to have blinds covering the massive bi-folding doors with such great views. If we do need to speak to guests, we always come and knock at the side door as we did during your stay.
Although we were away ourselves in Cornwall with the dog most of the week you were there, there was one night where she was left alone overnight which she had not experienced previously. I apologise if this disturbed you.
I hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your Summer and would like to thank you again for choosing to stay at Greenhills.

At the start of the Ontario Junior Hockey League season, the Oakville Blades' goal was to make the playoffs and be a team no one wanted to face in the opening round.
The Blades came as close as they possibly could to accomplishing that goal.
Oakville was eliminated from OJHL post-season participation on the final shot of the regular season, dropping a 6-5 overtime decision to the Toronto Jr. Canadiens Sunday at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex in a contest that determined the final playoff spot in the league's South-West Conference.
The Blades overcame four one-goal deficits on the night and fired a season-high 56 shots on the Toronto goal. But Jr. Canadiens defenceman Aaron Thow's shot from the point — nearly blocked by sprawling Blades forward Kris Bennett — found its way into the Oakville net 4:59 into OT, leaving the Blades out of the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
"Whenever you come back (four) different times in a game like this, an elimination game, the guys are obviously taking it pretty hard," Oakville head coach Kevin Gomes said.
"But I was really happy with the way our team played…. They showed a lot of character, and I told them they should be proud of themselves because they competed very, very hard."
Making Sunday's loss all the more painful for the Blades was the way they had earned the one-game playoff with Toronto. Oakville won its previous three games to pull even with the Jr. Canadiens, including a 7-2 romp Friday over a St. Michael's Buzzers team that finished 10 points ahead of the Blades.
Oakville, which features one of the youngest rosters in the league, may not have made the playoffs, but those must-win games did provide a taste what the playoffs are like.
"As a building exercise for next year with the young team we have, that was an amazing learning experience for them," said Gomes, who expects much of the Blades team to be back next year. "The only way you get better in this league is by going through it. You have to experience things like that. That's only going to make us better."
"It was fun battling like that," added Blades defenceman Greg Campbell, who scored twice in Friday's win over St. Michael's.
"We'll have a good core of guys coming back. Add some key guys to our team, and we'll be a dangerous team to play next year."
The Blades finished the 2013-14 season with a 23-26-5 record, one point behind the Jr. Canadiens and Mississauga Chargers. Oakville ranked last in the six-team South Division in both goals-for and goals-against average.
Asked if he considered the season to be a successful one, Gomes focused on the positives.
"You have to measure it in various ways. If you look at individual players, since we're a developmental organization, I think we're one of the most improved teams in the league because we were one of the youngest teams in the league," the coach said.
"We won a bunch of games early that had to do with goaltending (before the Blades traded star netminder Evan Buitenhuis to the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots during the Christmas break). We were getting outshot but still won. But if you look at people like Chris Polotek, Sean Kohler, Ryan Garvey — those guys improved so much as young players learning how to play in this league. We're expecting big things from a lot of those guys next year."
NOTES: The Jr. Canadiens will face the South Division champion Toronto Lakeshore Patriots in the opening round of the playoffs. Toronto Lakeshore, whose general manager is former Blades forward and current Iroquois Ridge high school teacher Mike Tarantino, won three of four games versus the Jr. Canadiens during the regular season. The Patriots were 2-2 against Oakville. "I think (Toronto Lakeshore) was cheering for the Jr. Canadiens because we've been a really good test," Campbell said. "I think they were scared to play us."… Blades captain Dalton Bew scored twice Sunday in his final game of junior eligibility. Vince Palermo, Polotek and Bennett had the Blades' other markers… Oakville hosted the game after winning a coin toss last week, but Toronto was listed as the home team and had the advantage of last line change. The unique situation led to confusion in the warmup, when visiting teams are required to leave the ice one minute before the buzzer while home teams typically gather up the pucks. The Blades were penalized for having players out on the ice at the end of warmup, which led to a Toronto power-play goal 1:23 into the contest… Kohler (two), Joe Seney, Ross Sloan and Bew scored goals Friday for Oakville, in addition to Campbell's pair. Mark Manolescu stopped 36 shots for the win... Sloan won the team scoring title with 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists) in 54 games. Bennett led the Blades in goals with 21 in 37 games, and Campbell was the team's top-scoring defenceman with 34 points in 50 games.

Does anybody know this
I have this one like some kind of cultivar of Mammillaria gracilis.
I try to find some information in Internet but no match.
Does anybody knows it??
These are cuts from a grafted one in Myrtillocactus, I don´t have pictures of the mother plant but they are clumping and cilyndrical and mine are not ethiolated. I have not seen the flowers. He has a tag of some kind of M. gracilis, but it could be something else. Escobaria sneedii ssp leei is a good option. Thanks for the advice.
Hey Alfonso, congrats!!, that is a beautiful little plant it's Pygmaeocereus densiaculeatus, (to the splitters) which is now called Haageocereus lanugispinus as in Jordi's pic. Other pygmaeocereus are still remain with the genus name pygmaeocereus.
I love these little cereoids, they are such tiny plants, I had a crested form of this at one stage, and would love to get my hands on onther.
Check out this link, I think it will help.
Cheers mate, CP
Hello All,
I recently sent this explanation to a Peruvian aficionado:
.... here are photos of my plant, which according to Fr. Ritter's description and pictures in his 4 volume book 'Kakteen in Südamerika' certainly is Haageocereus lanugispinus..
For a long time this taxon erroneously had been called Pygmaeocereus densiaculeatus due to Backeberg's generic misplacement in 1966.
Ritter found that taxon already in 1957 in a tiny area north of Pativilca in the flat coastal zone near or at the boarder line of Depto. Lima and Ancash.
In his book he finally described it by the name which had been used before as nom. nudum in the nursery of his sister H. Winter.
Hoping that at least somebody might be interested in the history of this species.
BTW, CP, grafted crests of it are waiting for you in my GH.
