Thomson Spirit Cruise Review by Lone Starr: Magic of the Fjords - first cruise, booked another!

Magic of the Fjords - first cruise, booked another!
This is my first post on your forum, so hopefully it's interesting enough for all of you that have already experienced cruise holidays.
We'd not really considered that cruise holidays were for us, and I was actually looking online at ferry crossings to Scandinavia with the intention of taking the car over and spending a week driving around the sights. After seeing how expensive they were, I gave up! After that, I started to get "placed" adverts on other websites I visited, and that's when I saw the Thomson Cruises. One click led to another, and we'd booked our first cruise - Magic of the Fjords on the Thomson Spirit, August 2012.
We really didn't know what to expect from the cruise, so this forum proved very useful in giving us some background information. It has to be said that you can't really find very much from the Thomson website, and you feel "in the dark" about some of the deeper mysteries of cruises. So thank you to all the people who have left their most More
useful hints and tips.
We sailed from Harwich. The check-in process was so simple (as a frequent flyer on business, it was actually a pleasure). Once on board, we soon realised just how many staff they have to look after you. I didn't expect to be shown to our cabin (200, Promenade/deck 7), and this set the scene for the next 7 days.
So, the cruise itself. We visited Eidfjord, Flam and Bergen, with a day at sea at either end. At no stage did we find that we had nothing to do, and even our 12 year old son never got bored. The cabin was right at the front (just under the bridge) and looked over the bow. We had to have our window blinds closed each evening, so unfortunately we couldn't see out at night, but the cabin was cosy. Like many people, the only thing we think it lacked was a kettle, but we soon got used to going to the Lido deck for a cuppa and bringing it back to the cabin.
We didn't book any excursions, choosing to print out maps before we left and exploring the destinations on foot. Eidfjord had a lovely walk up to a lake (complete with beach and log cabin!), and into the countryside where you could see Viking burial mounds. Flam was our absolute fave - we walked up to the Brekkefossen waterfall which had spectacular views over Flam. And in Bergen we took the funicular up to the top of Floyen. I'll upload the photos to Flickr and post the link later.
The crossing back was choppy - force 8/9. We found that having a cabin at the front caused quite a lot of movement, but it was mainly during the night and we didn't notice it too much whilst we were asleep.
In summary, a superb introduction to cruise holidays, and we left feeling refreshed. Early this year, we booked again for the Thomson Spirit, this time going on the Fire & Ice 13-night cruise in July. We've opted for a deck 3 cabin (because we're told they are a bit more stable in heavy seas), and we should be somewhere midships as we have got a 4-berth cabin booked.
I'll be on the lookout for more hints & tips on your superb forums. Less

Cabin review: 67d200
Fantastic location, right at the front with a view over the bow of the ship. The blinds were closed in the evening (we were told to keep them closed overnight for "navigational" reasons. The cabin was spacious and very clean - room service was superb. A third bed was put in (under the window) for my son - it was a simple camp-style bed and rather creaky, but sufficient for 6 nights. Access was almost directly onto the Promenade deck, making it feel very special, though the doors were closed in heavy/windy conditions. The only gripe is that being at the bow of the ship seemed to exaggerate the motion of the ship, and it felt like you were on a rocking horse whilst crossing the North Sea.

The life before Curb Side Fusion: Featuring Box of JoyHere is the story behind the members of Curb Side Fusion. We will be updating songs and posting stories about our bands before now. To start it off, we will be talking about Fred Ciabattoni old band Box of Joy. Featured Song:
Box of Joy:Box of Joy is a band that was formed by Fred Ciabattoni & Jayson Wild around 1998. Before Box of Joy, Jayson and Fred played in a southern rock band playing at colleges and regional clubs. The idea to split from that band came when Fred & Jayson started recording a demo at a friend's studio, Andy Sellers. Once the demo was done, Jason Diliberto joined on drums and that was when the band was formed. Box of Joy has recorded and released two official albums. Albums:Photos: For more free stuff, go to: |

Show Dog Store
The ChallengeShow Dog Store has an decentralized configuration—one that's becoming more common. Their customer service reps are located in home offices spread across the country. It was crucial for Show Dog Store to present a unified, professional, storefront appearance to incoming callers. President Larry Bowe explains, "We were expanding so we needed more phones and a feature that allowed customers to be transferred to our service reps even though we're spread across the country. Before, we had a live receptionist who would give callers our cell phone numbers and have them call us directly. This didn't give the professional appearance we wanted not to mention being terribly inefficient. Even when the call did get routed to my or another team member's cell phone, because we're in home offices, we'd sometimes miss the call if we were in another room."
The Solution
The solution was a Panasonic SIP Cordless Phone System combined with service from Vocalocity. "This really did give us everything we were looking for," said Bowe. It delivered all the features of a big-business phone system but without a costly hardware investment. Now, callers to Show Dog Store are greeted by an automated attendant that seamlessly routes callers to service reps spread out from Virginia to Arizona, yet still gives Show Dog Store the appearance of a unified, cohesive operation. And since the service is hosted by Vocalocity, was were no costly equipment to purchase. Show Dog Store team members can one-touch page each other from across the country as if they were in the next room. Bowe can also one-touch page the entire team for a impromptu conference.

Adoption Subsidy
United States
North Dakota State Subsidy Profile
Updated draft • October 2014 (state review pending)
State Subsidy Contact Person
Julie Hoffman Department of Human Services Children and Family Services 600 East Boulevard Avenue Bismarck, ND 58505 Phone: 701-328-4805 Fax: 701-328-3538 E-mail: email@example.com Website: www.state.nd.us/humanservices/services/childfamily/adoption

What Is Adoption Subsidy?
Parents who are thinking about or are in the process of adopting a child with special needs from foster care should know about adoption assistance (also known as adoption subsidy). Federal (Title IV-E) and state (often called non-IV-E) adoption assistance programs are designed to help parents meet their adopted children's varied, and often costly, needs. Children can qualify for federal adoption assistance or state assistance, depending on the child's history. Adoption subsidy policies and practices are, for the most part, dependent on the state in which the child was in foster care before the adoption.
Below is information related to definitions of special needs, benefits available, and procedures in South Dakota. Answers to select questions were made available by the Association of Administrators of the Interstate Compact on Adoption and Medical Assistance (AAICAMA) through the Child Welfare Information Gateway (www.childwelfare.gov). Profiles for other states' subsidy programs are available. If you have additional questions, please contact NACAC at 651-644-3036, 800-470-6665, or email@example.com. If you have state-specific questions, please call your State Subsidy Contact Person or the NACAC Subsidy Representative (listed above) for more information.

North Dakota Code 50-09-02.2, Assistance for adopted children with special needs: http://www.legis.nd.gov/cencode/t50c09.pdf
North Dakota Code Chapter 50-28 Adoption Assistance: http://www.legis.nd.gov/cencode/t50c28.pdf
Who Is Eligible for Adoption Assistance?
1. How does North Dakota define special needs to determine eligibility?
A child is defined as special needs if child that has at least one of the following needs or circumstances that may be a barrier to placement or adoption without financial assistance:
To be eligible for adoption assistance, children must be legally free for adoption (unless the child is being placed for adoption pursuant to a tribal statute allowing for a "customary" adoption) and must be in the custody of a public, private, or tribal agency prior to adoption.
2. Does the state-only funded adoption assistance program differ in any way from the Title IV-E program?
The state funded program is only available to children who are adopted from North Dakota's foster care program.
3. Are children adopted from private agencies in North Dakota eligible for adoption assistance?
Yes, but only if they meet Title IV-E requirements.
What Supports and Services Are Available?
Monthly Payments
4. What is the maximum basic monthly adoption assistance maintenance payment in North Dakota?
Rates are negotiated based on the child's needs. Frequently, the negotiated rate reflects the amount the child's family received while the child was in foster care. In no case may the negotiated rate exceed the rate that was paid while the child was, or would have been, in a foster care placement. Foster care rates are listed below:
13 +
5. Does North Dakota provide specialized rates (based on the extraordinary needs of the child or the additional parenting skill needed to raise the child)?
Yes, with rates determined on a case-by-case basis based on the child's needs. Adoption assistance rates may be negotiated up to the rate the child received, or would have received, in foster care, including any specialized rates. The following are the specialized rates in foster care:
Monthly increase over basic rate
Unspecified — must be negotiated based on child's needs
6. When do adoption assistance payments begin?
In North Dakota, adoption assistance payments and benefits may begin at adoption placement.
7. When a child turns 18, which benefits, if any, continue?
Adoption assistance continues until a child reaches 18. However, state-funded adoption assistance benefits may continue until the child reaches 21 if the agency determines that the adopted child is a student regularly attending a secondary, post-secondary, or vocational school and pursuing study leading to a diploma, degree, or gainful employment. Title IV-E adoption assistance may continue until the child's 21st birthday if the adoptee has a mental or physical disability that warrants continuation of assistance.
8. Does North Dakota offer deferred adoption assistance agreements (agreements where initial monthly maintenance amount is $0 for children at risk of developing special needs later)?
Medical Care
9. What Medicaid services are available in North Dakota?
Physician services, hospital services Laboratory and x-ray services Dental care (limits apply) Eye care (limits apply) Family planning services Durable medical equipment and supplies Home health care and hospice care Chiropractic services Physical and occupational therapy Podiatric services Nursing care services Intermediate care for the developmentally disabled Home and community-based services for the developmentally disabled—Services include homemaker, personal care, adult day care, chore services and respite care.
Prescription drugs, including contraceptives provided in conjunction with family planning services and under physician services Transportation (with limits) Screening, diagnosis, and treatment for children under age 21. Orthodontic services—Provided only through referral from the Health Tracks Program. Emergency room—Non-emergency conditions must be treated during physician or clinic office hours
For more information, parents can contact Marella Krein at 800-755-2604 or 800-472-2622.
10. What medical benefits are available for state-funded children? (Children who have federally funded/Title IV-E adoption assistance are automatically eligible for Medicaid benefits.)
Any child with special needs who has been found to be eligible for adoption assistance benefits is eligible for Medicaid in North Dakota
11. What mental health services are available?
Public mental health services for children in North Dakota are administered by the Department of Human Services through a collaboration between the Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and the Children and Family Services Division. The Children's Mental Health System of Care is also known as the Partnerships Program for Children's Mental Health. Services may include psychiatric and psychological evaluations, inpatient hospitalization (psychiatric unit), individual/group/family psychotherapy, partial hospitalization services, and inpatient psychiatric and residential treatment centers services for individuals under 21 for the care and treatment of mental illness or disorders. More information is available at the following sites:
Services covered— http://www.state.nd.us/humanservices/services/medicalserv/medicaid/covered.html
Children's mental health information— http://www.state.nd.us/humanservices/services/mentalhealth/children.html
Regional contacts— http://www.state.nd.us/humanservices/services/mentalhealth/partners.html
Not all services may be available in all cases. Parents should contact their adoption assistance worker or medical assistance specialist for information regarding process, eligibility, availability, and duration of services.
Other Benefits
12. In North Dakota, what nonrecurring adoption expenses directly related to the finalization of an adoption may be reimbursed?
Families can be reimbursed for up to $2,000 per child in nonrecurring adoption expenses. These expenses may include attorney fees, court costs, or any cost directly related to the finalization of the adoption of a child with special needs. Home studies are not covered if completed through the special needs adoption program since the cost of these studies are underwritten by state contracts with the licensed child placement agency.
Families should apply for reimbursement for nonrecurring costs at the time they apply for adoption assistance. Families must apply before adoption finalization. International adoptions are eligible only if they meet specific Title IV-E criteria.
13. Is respite care available? If yes, who is eligible and how do families access respite care?
Many private organizations offer respite services. Parents should search for North Dakota options using the ARCH National Respite Network Respite Locator Service at http://www.respitelocator.org/.
14. Is residential treatment available? If yes, who is eligible and how do families access residential treatment services?
Residential treatment costs may be considered for payment under Medical Assistance. However, the treatment facility must be an approved provider and agree to the Medical Assistance rate. It also must be verified that residential treatment is required for the child.
15. What other post-adoption services are available in North Dakota and how do families find out more about them?
Post-adoption services in North Dakota are administered by the DHS Children and Family Services Division and provided through contracted private agencies. Post-adoption services may include:
Families may also access support services that are not specific to adoptive families from their local county social service or regional human service center offices. North Dakota's Regional Human Services Centers are listed at http://www.state.nd.us/humanservices/locations/regionalhsc/.
Families should contact the Adults Adoption Special Kids Program (AASK) adoption specialist who assisted them in their adoption for referral to appropriate post-adoption services. The statewide AASK phone number is 877-551-6054.
Parents should contact their adoption assistance worker for information regarding process, eligibility, availability, and duration of services.
16. If the assistance listed above in questions 13 to 15 are for specific services, must these services be explicitly identified in the adoption assistance agreement?
No, but the services must be requested in writing and approved by the county social service agency. The services must be necessary for the family based on the child's needs.
What Should Families Know about Applying for Adoption assistance?
17. Who makes the final determination on an adoption assistance agreement?
County agency staff conduct an eligibility review, and then parents and the county social service office negotiate the adoption assistance amount. Agreements are signed at the local level by the county director, and the state office makes final approval.
18. How do families request adoption assistance after finalization of an adoption?
The family must request assistance the licensed child placement agency that facilitated the adoption. The state office can make the special needs determination and accept the application for assistance if the following requirements are met:
Families should contact Julie Hoffman at 701-328-4805 for more information.
How Can a Family Adjust an Adoption Assistance Agreement?
19. Can adoptive parents ask to change an adoption assistance agreement?
Adoptive families can request a change in the adoption assistance agreement any time there is a documented change in the child's needs or the family's circumstances. Parents must make the request for modification in writing to the county social service office that administers the adoption assistance. The request must detail the specific reasons for the requested change, including the rational for the specific amount requested. The county social service will negotiate any revision to the agreement and may request additional documentation. Parents can find their county social services offices at http://www.state.nd.us/humanservices/locations/countysocialserv/.
20. What steps does a family go through to appeal an adoption assistance decision in North Dakota?
Adoptive families have the right to request a fair hearing any time they wish to appeal county or state decisions affecting adoption assistance benefits. Parents must make a written request to the county social service office administering the adoption assistance or the North Dakota Department of Human Services to initiate the process. See question 19 for a link to the state's county social services offices.
What Else Do Families Need to Know?
21. How is the adoption assistance program operated and funded in North Dakota?
The program is state supervised/county administered, which means that personnel at the state office are responsible for making policy decisions and provide guidance to county offices. The counties make decisions related to children's eligibility. The federal contribution to Title IV-E-eligible children is 50% in North Dakota. This is known as the Federal Financial Participation (FFP) rate. The remaining cost of the program is funded by county and state funds.
22. Does North Dakota operate a subsidized guardianship program?
23. Does North Dakota offer a tuition waiver program?
Youth in foster care may be eligible for funding of up to $5,000 per year while they are in college or a vocational or technical training program. Adoptees may qualify if:
Parents or youth can learn more from their caseworker or from Dean Sturn at 701-328-1018 or email@example.com.
24. What is the payment schedule for adoption assistance? Who do I contact if I haven't received my payment? Can I receive my adoption assistance through direct deposit?

Just to let you guys know, Aniplex USA is premiering the English dub for Magi at Anime Weekend Atlanta. They should announce the dub cast there.
I'm predicting that Bryce Papenbrook will voice Aladdin (a much better choice than Yuri Lowenthal). To back this up, he voices Chooki Mason in Tenkai Knights, an 11 year old boy. /tread |

Police believe alcohol may have been a factor in a crash that injured a policeman early Sunday morning.
The crash happened about 1:40 a.m. near the intersection of 1st Avenue and 11th Street W in Cedar Rapids. A driver was traveling west on 1st Avenue when he or she crossed the center line and hit a Cedar Rapids Police Squad car.
Both drivers were treated at Cedar Rapids hospitals for what appears to be non-life threatening injuries and have been released.
The area was blocked off while police investigated the crash. Police were on the scene for hours and believe the intersection should be back to normal by 6 a.m. Sunday.
Officers are now waiting for results of a toxicology test to determine if alcohol is the reason for the crash. Charges are pending against the other driver.

Danish thrashers HATESPHERE will support MEGADETH on June 5 at Store Vega in Copenhagen, Denmark. "It's a very big honour for us to play with Mr. Mustaine and Co. as the band has been a big inspiration since the beginning!" HATESPHERE writes on its web site.
HATESPHERE entered the national chart in its home country at position No. 26 with its latest release, "Serpent Smiles and Killer Eyes". The CD was mixed by Tue Madsen at Antfarm studios in Århus, Denmark. According to the band, "We decided to focus more on getting a heavy crunchy sound this time, that would suit the somewhat slower songs on this album, and the guitars are crushing!!! 'Serpent Smiles and Killer Eyes' has taken us in a slightly different direction — of course, still with the main purpose of making your ears bleed, haha, but this time we went for a more mid-tempo approach to finetune our sonic attack." Two songs from the CD — "Let them Hate" and "Floating" — are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

Paraná (Portuguese pronunciation: [paɾaˈna][2]) is one of the 26 states of Brazil, located in the south of the country, bordered on the north by São Paulo state, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by Santa Catarina state and the Misiones Province of Argentina, and on the west by Mato Grosso do Sul and the republic of Paraguay, with the Paraná River as its western boundary line.
Cut by the Tropic of Capricorn, Paraná has what is left of the araucaria forest, one of the most important subtropical forests in the world. At the border with Argentina is the National Park of Iguaçu, considered by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. At only 40 km (25 mi) from there, at the border with Paraguay, the largest dam in the world was built, the Hidroelétrica de Itaipu (Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam).
Colonisation of the state by settlers started in the 16th century, but was mainly confined to the coasts. In the 1940s, the northern part of the state was settled as a result of the expansion of the São Paulo coffee industry. The south-eastern part of the state was settled as a result of migration from Rio Grande do Sul.[3]
By the early 20th century, the state had two railway systems: the Paranaguá to Curitiba (69 mi, 111 km) with an extension to Ponta Grossa (118 mi, 190 km) and branches to Rio Negro (55 mi, 89 km), Porto Amazonas (6 mi, 10 km) and Antonina (10 mi, 16 km); and the São Paulo and Rio Grande, which crosses the state from northeast to southwest from União da Vitória, on the Iguaçu, to a junction with the Sorocabana line of São Paulo at Itararé. The junction of the two systems was at Ponta Grossa, northwest of Curitiba.[citation needed]
Paraná is bounded on the north by São Paulo state, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by Santa Catarina state and the Misiones Province of Argentina, and on the west by Mato Grosso do Sul and the republic of Paraguay, with the Paraná River as its western boundary line.
The state can be separated into five main topographic areas, from east to west: a coastal zone, the mountains of Serra do Mar, and then three plateaus, each lower than the other, until the Paraná River is reached.[4]
The largest rivers in the state are the Paranapanema and its tributaries the Cinza and Tibaji, the Ivaí, Piquiri, Jejuy-guassu, and the Iguaçu with its principal tributary the Rio Negro. The Paranapanema and a small tributary, the Itarare', form the boundary line with São Paulo west of the Serra do Mar, and the Iguaçu and Negro, the boundary line with Santa Catarina and Argentina - both streams having their sources in the Serra do Mar and flowing westward to the Paraná. The other streams have shorter courses, and all are obstructed by falls and rapids. Twenty miles above the mouth of the Iguaçu are the Iguaçu Falls, 215 ft (66 m) high, broken into 20 or more falls separated by rocks and islands, and surrounded by a wild, unsettled and wooded country. The surface of the plateau is undulating and the greater part is adapted to agricultural and pastoral purposes.[citation needed]
According to the IBGE, as of 2010, the state population was 10,439,601. The population density was 51.48/km2 (133.3/sq mi). The population of Curitiba's metropolitan area was 3,168,980. Urbanization in the state was: 84.5% (2006), population growth was 1.4% (1991–2000), and houses numbered 3,177,000 (2006).[5]
The 2005 IBGE survey gave the following breakdown by race for the state: White (Branca) (73.0%), Pardos (multiracial) (23.3%), Black (Preta) (2.5%), and Amerindian (1.2%).[6]
Parana's population is primarily of Eastern European origin, but Germans, Portuguese, and Japanese also settled in the state.[7] A variation of German known as Paraná-Wolga-Deutsch originated in the area.[8]
A genetic study found the ancestry of the average "White" person in Paraná is 80.6% European, 12.5% Black African, and 7.0% Amerindian. The average "Mulatto" is 49.5% Black African, 41.8% European, and 8.7% Amerindian.[9] However, another study has concluded European ancestry is dominant throughout Brazil at 80%, except for the southern part of Brazil, where the European heritage reaches 90% (Paraná included, all of the Paraná population, "whites", "pardos", and "blacks"). "A new portrayal of each ethnicity contribution to the DNA of Brazilians, obtained with samples from the five regions of the country, has indicated that, on average, European ancestors are responsible for nearly 80% of the genetic heritage of the population. The variation between the regions is small, with the possible exception of the South, where the European contribution reaches nearly 90%. The results, published by the scientific magazine American Journal of Human Biology by a team of the Catholic University of Brasília, show, in Brazil, physical indicators such as skin, eye, and hair colour have little to do with the genetic ancestry of each person, which has been shown in previous studies.[10]
Initially settled by the Guarani and Kaingang Amerindians, until the 17th century, virtually no European presence existed in Paraná. The number of settlers grew around 1750 and the population was composed of Amerindians, Portuguese, and some Spaniards. African slaves from Angola and Mozambique were also present, but in fewer numbers than in other Brazilian areas, because Paraná was a poor region that did not need much slave manpower. Immigration grew in the mid-19th century, mostly composed of Italian, German, Polish, Ukrainian, and Japanese peoples. While Poles and Ukrainians are present in Paraná, their presence in the rest of Brazil is almost nil. In the early 20th century, two waves of migration to Paraná occurred: one coming from the north, mostly of Portuguese, but also of African and Amerindian origin, and another from southern Brazil to the southwest and west, mostly of Portuguese, Italian, and German origins.[11]

Since the 1950s, Paraná has been one of Brazil's agriculture powerhouses. The state started out as a major producer of coffee, which dominated the state's agriculture, particularly in the highly cultivated northern part of the state.[citation needed]
The state industry was originally based on agrobusiness: meat, coffee, dairy, lumber, tea, and chicken processing. Still today they are responsible for a large part of the industrial production.[citation needed]
The 1970s inauguration of the Volvo Factory in Curitiba began a car manufacturing industry. Plants of several different brands and industries are located around metropolitan Curitiba, producing around 450.000 cars, buses, and trucks a year.[citation needed]
The industry today is very diversified; the Curitiba Metropolitan Area has a whole range of industries including computers, freezers and cosmetics. There are also several industries around the main cities, in particular Ponta Grossa (Soybean products), Londrina (Coffee and Cattle), Maringá (Soybeans and Cattle), Telemaco Borba (Lumber and Cellulose) and Cianorte (Textiles and Clothing).[citation needed]
Paraná's per capita GDP in 2005 was R$12,339, or US$5,400, eighth in Brazil and comparable to that of Turkey.[13]
- Vehicles: 3,808,298 (March 2007)
- Mobile phones: 12 million (August 2011)
- Telephones: 2.7 million (April 2007)
- Cities: 399 (2007)[14]

- Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) (Federal University of Paraná)
- Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR) (Federal Technological University of Paraná)
- Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Paraná (IFPR) (Paraná Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology)

Foz do Iguaçu International Airport. Brazil's main airlines serve the city daily, connecting it with the rest of the country and foreign cities. Regional routes also serve local traffic.
Social care[edit]
Paraná has one of the highest standards of living in Brazil, with relatively low crime levels, a special attention given to education and health, and a HDI of about 0.820, the fifth-highest in Brazil.[citation needed]
Two of the biggest football sides in the state are Clube Atlético Paranaense and Coritiba Foot Ball Club, who play the Atletiba derby.[15]
Curitiba is one of the 12 host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Been doing too much Yoga?
…Or not enough? Cool Indian Yoga Ads. Even Cooler Yoga Video. Even Cooler English commentary by Indian blogger.
You can always tell who hasn't been doing enough—or who's been doing too much—yoga:
Via an Indian web site, commentary reminiscent of Everything is Illuminated:
"Great Yoga postures! Excellent casual poses by Yogis and Yoginis. Government of Pondicherry has been conducting various colorful festivals throughout the year on several occasions. International yoga Festival is held by Puducherry Government since 1993, almost for 18 years, which is considered one of the famous festival celebrated in Pondicherry that embark the tradition as well as Puducherry.
Generally in the first week of January (4th Jan – 7th Jan) the festival is celebrated attracting people from not only from India but from all over the world. These pictures are used for the campaign made by JWT India for The International Yoga Festival January 2008. The campaign impressed many and turned head who haven't gave a try to yoga.
The main aim of this International Yoga Festival in Puducherry is to spread the awareness among the young generations the usefulness of practicing yoga. Actually to say, I was out of station on the particular occasion so I couldn't have the chance of participating in the yoga program. Let me fix some nice well- planned schedule for January 2009…hope I never miss this beautiful festival again next year. Let me catch you guys there!."
Even cooler yoga video:

Reports: MRI negative, but Beckett's back still in pain
Updated: March 11, 2008, 1:34 PM ET
ESPN.com news services
For Josh Beckett, the good news is that team doctors have told him his sore back is not result of a disc problem -- and the results of an MRI back that up.
But the Boston Red Sox ace is still hurting, and not planning to throw again until the problem is resolved.
"We're going to make sure it's completely pain-free," he said Monday. "I can't even, really, if lying in one position too long, or sitting in one position too long or standing in one position too long, ...

India wins toss and bats in 3rd ODI vs Bangladesh; Vinay Kumar and Manoj Tiwary in.
The third and final ODI between India and Bangladesh on Thursday was abandoned after frequent rains marred play on a day the visitors put up another shoddy batting display.
Having won the series 2-0, a third stoppage due to heavy downpour during the Indian innings ensured there was no chance of a clean sweep.
Weather had played spoilsport in all the matches, but in the final one-dayer it became the decisive factor as even an efficient drainage system couldn't ensure the start of the proceedings after India was reeling at 119 for nine in 34.2 overs with the match being reduced to 40 overs-a-side after a second stoppage.
While the play had started after the earlier rain delays, a third spell of shower was enough for the umpires to call off the match.
India was tottering at 97 for eight staring at its lowest score against Bangladesh, but Stuart Binny, with an unbeaten 25, helped the team get past the three-figure mark before rain stopped play.

Introducing The Council For Youth Empowerment
Dear Friends,
Sometime ago on this blog and on my facebook fan page I wrote that Nigeria will never grow rich by what is under the ground rather wealth will come by what is between Nigerian's ears.
In an effort to build entrepreneurial skills in Nigerian youths I want to institute a body to empower the youth of Nigeria. To this end, I have set up a Council For Youth Empowerment to be Headed by Berkeley Trained MBA – Otto Abasi Williams. The Council is completely independent of Malam Nasir El Rufai other than being my brain child.
Membership of the Council includes: The Chair: Otto Williams who has an MBA from the University of California in Berkeley and has passed through the Haas school of Business. Pastor Mike Iyoke, a Youth Pastor and head of Michael Iyoke Ministries based in Benin. Pastor Iyoke is also a lawyer with 10 years post call experience. Also on the Council is Malam Salihu Lukman, a Nigerian reformist and youth enthusiast.
On my facebook page, and my blog http://www.nasirschronicles.com/ they are announcing a contest for Nigerian youths to send in proposals for a Small and Medium Scale Enterprise that they want to start up. Please send proposals to firstname.lastname@example.com. Do make sure to include your full names and a day time phone number. There are no conditions other than that the idea be original and the participants must be Nigerian citizens living in Nigeria with business ideas designed to be implemented in Nigeria.
The winning bid as well as the second runner up will each receive $5,000 from me. It is my intention to help rebuild the fading principle of innovation by demonstrating to Nigerians youths that they will never grow rich by what is under the ground but by what is between their ears.
Members of the council will as part of the initiative offer free consultancy services to youths with the winning bids. Council members will visit the business locations physically and Consultancy services would be continued until the business venture moves from the start up stage to the stage when it is stable and profitable.
The winning bids will be announced in the month of July 2010 on my facebook page, my blog as well as on the Nigerian print and electronic media.

PROVIDENCE (June 9, 2007) - A Special Cruiserweight Attraction bout between nine-time US National amateur champion Aaron Williams and tough Derrick "D-Train" Brown has been added as chief support for THE June 20th "Cha-Ching In The Ring," featuring "The Pride of Providence" Peter Manfredo, Jr., on ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.. Williams (12-0-1, 8 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas, will be making his CES debut against Brown (13-2-2, 11 KOs), who is from New York City, in a six-round match. Interestingly enough, former world light heavyweight champion Eddie Mustapha Muhammad trains Williams, while Christy Martin, arguably the greatest fighter in women's boxing history, handles Brown. Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES) is promoting "Cha-Ching In The Ring" in association with Foxwoods Resort Casino and ESPN2. WBC rated No. 14 super middleweight Manfredo (27-4, 13 KOs), star of The Contender I television reality show, headlines against upset specialist WBC No. 35 rated David Banks, who is coming off back-to-back wins against previously unbeaten Elvin Ayala. Manfredo, a true throwback fighter, will be in action for the third time since April 7. Three years ago almost to the exact date, present IWBF lightweight champion Jaime "Hurricane" Clampitt and women's boxing pioneer Jane "Fleetwood Assassin" Couch will finally have a rematch to their The Ring's 2004 "Female Fight of the Year," which Couch won via a very close unanimous decision (96-95, 96-94, 96-94) for the IWBF and NABA light welterweight titles. Clampitt-Couch is the 10-round co-feature for a vacant IWBF junior welterweight title. Clampitt (17-4-1, 7 KOs), a three-time world champion, is coming off of a dominating victory by unanimous 10-round decision against Mia St. John on February 9. Couch (28-9, 9 KOs), representing her native England, is a 5-time world champion. "What a great fight this is going to be," promoter Jimmy Burchfield said. "Aaron is only 21. He's a phenom but he'll be severely tested by Brown, who hasn't lost as a cruiserweight. On top of that we have two great trainers and fighters working their corners. Christy could very well end up fighting the winner of Clampitt and Couch. "It's going to be a night to remember. Peter Manfredo is back again, fighting for an unprecedented, at in today's world, third time in 75 days against a guy who is making a living knocking off favored fighters. Clampitt-Couch was the 2004 'Female Fight of the Year' and I don't expect anything less this time around. We also get to showcase some of our other undefeated prospects such as come-backing Jarrod Tillinghast, talented Angel Camacho, Jr., exciting Hank Lundy and a new kid from a boxing family, Gerry Grealish." Scheduled to fight on the undercard against opponents to be determined are unbeaten light heavyweight Jarrod Tillinghast (8-0, 2 KOs), undefeated super middleweight Angel Camacho, Jr. (6-0, 4 KOs) and perfect Philadelphia light welterweight "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy (6-0). The newest member of CES, junior middleweight "Irish" Gerry Grealish (6-0, 4 KOs), who fought on the U.S. Marines Boxing Team and is a Boston firefighter, makes his CES debut on June 20. He is a native of Galway, Ireland who is living in Quincy, Massachusetts. One other bout is expected to be added to the card. All fighters and bouts are subject to change. Tickets, priced at $55.00, $110.00, $160.00, are on sale by contacting CES (1.401.724.2253/www.cesboxing.com) or Foxwoods (1.800.200.2882/www.foxwoods.com). One VIP suite is also available (call CES for details). Sponsorships are available and $2.00 from each sold ticket will go to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Vincent van Gogh suicide note
My dear brother,
Thanks for your kind letter and for the 50-fr. note in contained.
There are many things I should like to write you about, but I feel it useless. I hope you have found those worthy gentlemen favorably disposed toward you.
Your reassuring me as to the peacefulness of your household was hardly worth the trouble, I think, having seen the weal and woe of it for myself. And I quite agree with you that rearing a boy on a fourth floor is a hell of a job for you as well as for Jo.
Since the thing that matters most is going well, why should I say more about things of less importance? My word, before we have a chance to talk business more collectedly, we shall probably have a long way to go.
The other painters, whatever they think, instinctively keep themselves at a distance from discussions about the actual trade.
Well, the truth is, we can only make our pictures speak. But yet, my dear brother, there is this that I have always told you, and I repeat it once more with all the earnestness that can be expressed by the effort of a mind diligently fixed on trying to do as well as possible - I tell you again that I shall always consider you to be something more than a simple dealer in Corots, that through my mediation you have your part in the actual production of some canvases, which will retain their calm even in the catastrophe.
For this is what we have got to, and this is all or at least the main thing I can have to tell you at a moment of comparative crisis. At a moment when things are very strained between dealers in pictures of dead artists, and living artists.
Well, my own work, I am risking my life for it and my reason has half foundered because of it--that's all right--but you are not among the dealers in men as far as I know, and you can still choose your side, I think, acting with humanity, but que veux-tu?

Thomas Foley
On Saturday, February 7, 2009, Thomas Foley, 40, took his 10-year-old son Heath and one of Heath's friends to a birthday party near the family's farm in Coldwater, Michigan. He told friends there that his 41-year-old wife, Dee Dee, would arrive later. But when she did not show up after a couple of hours, Foley went home, where he discovered her nude body fatally shot in the head in a first floor shower.
Foley told police that earlier in the day, he and his wife took Heath to a basketball game in Marshall, Michigan and then went shopping in Battle Creek before returning home. Heath told police that before they went to the birthday party, he was playing with his friend when he heard a loud crash inside the house. Foley said that he had dropped a window frame that he was carrying to the family's barn, causing the loud noise.
Foley said he cleaned up the glass and shortly before 4 p.m., he took the boys to the party, expecting that Dee Dee would arrive later. When she did not arrive, he said he went home, and after finding her body in the shower, called police.
On March 6, 2009, Foley was arrested and charged with murder and illegal use of a weapon, although the murder weapon—a shotgun—was never found.
He went on trial before a Branch County Circuit Court jury in November 2009. Prosecutors contended that Foley had killed his wife because their marriage was crumbling and because Foley, who was not employed, would receive $280,000 in life insurance.
A detective testified that Foley became a suspect almost immediately because he said that after he found his wife's body, he turned off the shower, but in fact the shower was dry when investigators arrived.
Evidence showed that portions of the house had been ransacked and that credit cards, a video game and other items were missing—although expensive electronic items remained. A window on a back door had been broken. The credit cards were found later at a gas station in Branch County, Michigan.
The detective testified that police believed Foley killed his wife, took the boys to the party, then returned home and ransacked the home himself.
Dee Dee Foley's brother testified that several months earlier, a shotgun had been taken from his home. He said he had not reported it to police because he believed a family member or a friend had taken it.
Police found a plastic bag containing three shotgun shells in the basement of the Foley's home. Although there were no fingerprints on the shells, the print of Foley's right index finger was found on the outside of the bag.
A forensic analyst testified that she identified a small stain of Dee Dee's blood on Foley's shirt that was not from a blood spatter, but from contact with blood. According to testimony, Dee Dee had been shot at short range, with the gun about six inches from her head when fired. However, no gunpowder, blood spatter or other physical evidence was found on Foley or his clothing as might be expected in a close-contact killing.
A teacher at a school in nearby Union City, where Dee Dee Foley also was a teacher, testified that in the months before the murder, Foley told her his marriage was troubled and he had romantic feelings for her, which she rejected. Later, she said, Foley told her that he and his wife were working things out and that he had sought counseling.
Foley testified in his own defense and denied killing his wife. He said he and his wife had ironed out their difficulties and that their marriage was solid.
The jury convicted Foley of murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony on November 27, 2009. He was sentenced to life in prison.
A week later, Foley's lawyer filed a motion for a new trial, contending that new witnesses had come forward with information. One witness said that at 4:45 p.m. she saw an older model white car coming quickly out of the Foley driveway. The driver, she said, appeared to be 18 to 20 years old. Another witness said that at 4 p.m. she noticed a white car, possibly a 1990's model, parked in the driveway of the Foley home behind Dee Dee's car. And the third witness said that about 3:30 p.m., he saw a dark sport utility vehicle parked near the barn and knew it was not a vehicle owned by the Foley family.
On March 24, 2010, Judge Conrad Sindt granted the motion for new trial, ruling that the new evidence could have tipped the case in favor of an acquittal.
The Court of Appeals of Michigan upheld Sindt's ruling in January 2011 and Foley went on trial again in July 2011.
At the trial, jurors credited the witness testimony about the white vehicle at the home as well as a photograph taken by police of a shard of glass that detectives found outside the home where Foley said he had dropped the window pane. The photograph was not presented to the jury in Foley's first trial. On July 30, 2011, after nine hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Foley and he was released.
