Cry, the Beloved Country
A Torah portion chronicling a tragedy foretold
Summers are the hardest.
Any other time of year seems tailored for exile. Autumns, for example, are much better in New York than they are in Tel Aviv, the city in which I was born and which I left, not without considerable pain, in 1999. Back there, on the coast of the Mediterranean, all of autumn's tenderness is crushed by the long reach of summer's clammy hand. Leaves changing colors? That earthy smell singeing the nostrils with the first gusts of brisk air? Forget about it: in Tel Aviv, you can still lounge on the beach in December.
Similarly, winters are largely absent as well, and springs are like short and furious arms races, with each month rushing the next into the escalation of summer's inevitable heat. Come June, however, there's no better place to be than Tel Aviv. As humid as the city is, as humming with the discontent of sweating, heated souls, the first Hebrew town in modern history was really for summer born.
Growing up, my friends and I would start our summer mornings running around on the beach, playing matkot —a popular beach game played with two paddles and a rubber ball that makes a frightful thwacking sound—and eating lemon popsicles before lying down for a nap. A few hours later, our skins roasted and our heads dazed with sun, we'd amble over to one of three or four nearby cinemas to catch a silly action film, then rush to the local burger joint to soothe our gurgling stomachs. Greasy, sunburnt, and wildly happy, we'd return home late in the evening. I'm many years and thousands of miles removed from those glorious summer days, and yet I still miss them terribly.
It was with much interest, then, that I read recently about some Israeli children spending their summers not in similar pleasurable pursuits but by building settlements on the rocky hills of the West Bank. As I reported earlier this week, "Youth for the Land of Israel," a new non-profit organization, is offering Israeli youth a summer stint on the hills of Judea and Samaria where they can learn about the importance of our ancestral land and partake in its settling, government strictures and international condemnations be damned.
Reading the committed campers' accounts, I was stirred by feelings of admiration. Unlike myself at their age, these ideologically driven youth could return home at the end of a sizzling summer afternoon and say that they had done something to further their beliefs. They sacrificed their idle days—a teenager's most precious resource—for the greater good. Their voices pealed with conviction, with the kind of clarity that is ours in abundance when we're young—and that grows ever dimmer as we age.
Shlomit Amitai, 16 years old, a counselor in the settlement camp, was quoted as telling her young charges that the Zohar, the sacred book of Kabbalah, teaches us that the land of Israel is like our collective mother. "Just like you would dress your mother's wounds," she said, "empty land is a wound we need to dress by settlement."
It is probably useless to tell Ms. Amitai that the Zohar, so mighty in its mystical force, was traditionally available only to scholars 40 and older who'd reached a level of mastery in Judaism's earthly foundations before being allowed to travel to its more ethereal realms. I'm not so far removed from my own youthful years to remember that there's nothing teenagers like less than being preached to by didactic dunderheads; but if I could, I would suggest to her and her friends a better book to read this summer: Deuteronomy.
They wouldn't even have to read the whole thing. This week's parasha is enough. It's short, and it's as heartbreaking as anything in literature. It's Moses's farewell speech. Weary and elegiac, the dying leader, done retelling the past, speaks to his people about the future.
Me, says Moses, I won't make it to the Promised Land. But you will. And, once there, you will mess things up.
"When you beget children and children's children," he prophesies, "and you will be long established in the land, and you become corrupt and make a graven image, the likeness of anything, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, to provoke Him to anger, I call as witness against you this very day the heaven and the earth, that you will speedily and utterly perish from the land to which you cross the Jordan, to possess; you will not prolong your days upon it, but will be utterly destroyed. And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will remain few in number among the nations to where the Lord will lead you."
But things, he continues, aren't all grim: this terrible exile, Moses concludes, will reawaken Israel's appetite for righteousness, the people will once again keep the laws of the Torah and worship the Lord, and He, in turn, will redeem them and return them to their ancestral home. The saga of Israel will have a happy ending after all.
This story is often taken by biblical scholars to be a bit of a retroactive rewrite, the work of post-exilic scribes wishing to fortify the faith by peppering the story with premonitions, supposedly authentic, of the doom that is to come. But as is so often the case with scripture, reality's concrete details are eclipsed by a grander, eternal meaning: Moses's story is not some sliver of Jewish history, but a warning that is, has always been, and will always be timely.
To those who revere the land above all, seeing it as a wounded mother (somewhat of a graven image there, some might say, the bleeding and martyred woman), Moses' story couldn't be more relevant. Jews, it reminds us, have had Hebron and Jericho and Shechem once before. They were long established in the land. And, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord their God, they speedily and utterly perished from it. They returned again, once again transgressed, once again perished, once again returned. It's not for lack of territorial sovereignty that Jews had suffered terribly, not for forfeiting a holy hill or a sacred wadi. The answer to our suffering lies not in the soil but in the soul. This summer, may we all listen to Moses, and believe him when he tells us our true, eternal, and only strength lies in justice, in compassion, in love. By now, we know all too well what happens when we ignore him.

It is always sad to see a great company die.
Thousands of companies disappear every day, of course. But great companies are different. Even in their dying falls, they still carry with them all of myths and legends, the immense promise, and the glory of the days when they were at the top of the world. The end is often ugly, but they still carry the dim glow of what was.
The latest such company to face oblivion, it is rumored, is Silicon Graphics Inc. In the last few years it has gone through a succession of CEOs, much of the employee ranks have bled away, and the stock price has shrunk to pocket change.
If SGI goes under, there will be the usual press post-mortems. The decline will be blamed on poor management, or failed products or superior competitition.
All of that will be true, of course, but it always is. The real reason will remain unsaid: that the company's culture went toxic and died.
Corporate Culture Can Save …
After 20 years covering Silicon Valley, I'm convinced that very few companies, especially superstars like SGI was, ever get into trouble by screwing up. As long as the culture, that complex combination of corporate myth, morale and enthusiasm, is strong and vital, a healthy company can recover from almost any setback.
In the mid-70s Intel was under withering attack from Motorola, but regrouped, fought back by revolutionizing high-tech marketing, and went on to become the most valuable company on Earth.
By sheer will, Steve Jobs took a shell-shocked Apple and made it fight back against Big Blue with the Macintosh … then did it again 15 years later with the iMac.
In what, to my mind, is the greatest management story of the century, the aged and retired David Packard and Bill Hewlett returned to a moribund Hewlett-Packard, re-energized the legendary HP Way and restored the company to its lost glory.
… Or Corporate Culture Can Kill
For every story of a company saved by its culture, there are a hundred dead companies killed by poisonous or dead corporate culture.
In the 1970s, Texas Instruments became obsessed with gaining market share at any cost — including the happiness of its workers. A decade later it was a shell, living off its patents and its sue-happy legal department.
Apple under John Sculley assembled as much talent as American business has ever seen — yet couldn't get a new product out to save its life. With no common hero or enemy (Jobs was both), the company collapsed into a hundred warring camps.
By the same token, DEC grew old and predictable and lost its spark — so that even a magnificent new microprocessor chip couldn't save it. Ditto for its new owner — cold, austere Compaq, which came to look like an out-take from Gattica. At Wang, the son of the company's founder looked so illegitimate in the old man's job that the company committed corporate suicide.
The worst case may have been Atari. Under Nolan Bushnell it was crazy, fun and the coolest company on Earth. Under Time-Warner it became venal, schizophrenic and greedy. The inevitable result: one of the greatest corporate meltdowns of all time.
A Lost Company
And that brings us to Silicon Graphics. How do I know the problem lies with its corporate culture? Because I wrote the story.

Enjoy your stay in this deluxe Key's style villa situated on a landscaped lake in Patriots Landing. The resort is famous for its championship golf courses and is found close to Orlando's magical theme parks including Disney, Universal Studios and Sea World. This ideal self-catering villa sleeps six and is perfect for all the family, those on business trips and as a romantic getaway for couples. Spend your time shopping at the malls, catch a tan at the resort numerous pools or the beach, enjoy the resorts world-class amenities or simply relax by your private pool, (child safety fence included). The resort is about one mile from Interstate 4 and is within convenient driving distance of Celebration and Downtown Disney.
...the house is fantastic.
I must say that we've been to a number of houses throughout Florida and this ranks number 1 for us.
We are very happy........ MM Canada March 2014
We stayed in Kate & Rick's Home for a week and wished it had been longer. The home is beautifully furnished to a very high standard and is spotless throughout. The views from the house are outstanding and we spent many a night sitting with a glass of wine on the balcony overlooking the lake. We even invited friends over one evening and they said they could have stayed all night. Reunion resort itself is fantastic, very clean and well kept. The resort staff are very friendly. We would recommend the water park and also Seven Eagles Pool as we spent a few relaxing days there. We also had a lovely meal at the Clubhouse and to our surprise was great value. The views from the 11th Floor of the Reunion Grande Hotel were superb and we watched the fireworks from one of the Disney Parks there.
The owners Kate & Rick were very quick to deal with all our concerns and queries before we left and answered these promptly.
All in all we had a 5 star experience from start to finish and would hope to repeat this in the not too distant future !
We have no reservation in recommending this property. Excellent location,furnished to an high standard and obviously maintained and cleaned with an eye for detail - the resort facilities , especially the 8th floor pool in the Hotel were the ' icing on the cake' !
Overall you would be hard pressed to find a property with a better combination when staying in the Orlando area.
I have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous villa. My family and I have just returned from 2 blissful weeks. It was the perfect retreat after days of frantic park hopping. The pool was particularly popular with my two boys. It is spotless and beautifully appointed. Reunion Resort is very well maintained (I can recommend the restaurant on the top floor of the clubhouse - great food and great views of Disney fireworks). The owners were very helpful and dealt with queries very quickly. Book it, you won't be disappointed!
I apologize for the extremely late review, as I didn't realize until now that I haven't done this. That being said, this home was amazing and memorable enough to write a review 2 years later! The home was exactly as promised; clean, spacious, and lovely. The 3 bedrooms fit our family of 5 perfectly and my daughter still recalls feeling like a princess in the room she called 'the gold room' (the queen bedroom). I remember waking up each morning in the large master bedroom to the incredible view of the lake outside the window; some days the kids would climb into bed with us and look out at the early morning fog over the lake before we started our crazy day!
I would definitely recommend renting this house. I know people love the feeling of staying inside the Disney Parks, but there really is no comparison to renting a comfortable home. It is only an 8 minute drive from Disney! After a long day spent walking around the parks, instead of finding yourself in a cramped hotel room, you come home to your 'home away from home', where you can spread out, have a snack in the kitchen, sit on the couch and watch TV, or have the kids swim in the private pool while you make dinner, saving big money on eating out! There is no other way to do Disney!
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
We had wanted to stay at the Reunion Resort for sometime and our stay did not disappoint. The accommodation was everything we could have hoped for the facilities were excellent. Would we book again, or recommed this villa to friend - the answer is a very deffinite yes!
We have recently enjoyed a fabulous holiday at this villa, which exceeded all our expectations. We initially chose this home due to its close proximity to the theme parks however due to the fantastic amenities at both the house and Reunion resort we spent more time than expected there.
The property was immaculate and fully equipped for every eventuality, we wished for nothing! The house was very spacious and spotlessly clean, clearly maintained to a high standard yet felt both welcoming and very family friendly. It was a true home from home. The kitchen was so well equipped that we even chose to eat in, utilising the handy local supermarkets on several occasions.
We found the Wi Fi at the house particularly useful allowing us to keep in touch with home and access the internet.
The balcony which overlooked the lake provided us with a grown up hideaway to enjoy an evening drink
The pool area felt very private and was always quiet. We opted for the pool heating, which was definitely worth it, as our children couldn't be kept out even choosing to play in the pool over visiting the theme parks.
The resort swimming areas were also a great hit with our children. Seven Eagles pool offered not only a swimming pool but table tennis, a pool table and internet room which provided great alternative activities that the children enjoyed. This allowed us time to enjoy a quiet drink at the pool bar or a quick workout in the gym! The waterpark was also amazing and very relaxing, with a basketball hoop, volleyball court and grassed play area with toys (balls, skipping ropes & hula hoops) that our children loved.
I have already recommended this accommodation to friends as it can truly only be described as outstanding, and am already planning my return visit.
This 5 star luxury home in Reunion Resort is close to Orlando's famous attractions including Disney, Universal Studios, Epcot and Sea World. You will also be in driving distance to Florida's world-class beaches including Clearwater, St Petersburg and Daytona. Close to the town of Celebration, Downtown Disney, Florida Mall, the Mall at Millenia and shopping outlets. For business travellers, you are in easy reach of Interstate 4 for the cities of Orlando and Tampa, airports (Orlando International, Sanford and Tampa International) and the Orange County Convention Center.

Tenn. dries out after deluge washes through state
MT. JULIET, Tenn. Tennessee started drying out Thursday after days of drenching rain caused flooding, stranded homeowners and drivers, washed out roads and forced a freight train off its tracks.
No deaths had been reported, but forecasters warned the inundation may not be over. More rain was expected to fall across the Southeast during the weekend from the same storm system, which also was prompting flood watches and pouring rain onto parts of Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia.
Most flood watches and warnings in Tennessee had expired by Thursday afternoon, including one for Nashville, while remaining in effect for some areas to the northeast. Even with possible flooding in the Cumberland River and other creeks in the state, it likely will not cause the same devastation wrought by heavy rains in early May.
Still, officials were making plans for possible evacuations and preparing sandbags for downtown Nashville and other riverfront areas that previously flooded.
"We feel as a city it's important to err on the side of caution," said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean during a press conference Thursday evening. "Flooding situations can change quickly."
Just outside Cookeville in the Double Springs community, about 80 miles east of Nashville, Priscilla Toepper, 66, said she had to bring her four horses to a neighbor's fenced yard up the hill from her house because the stables began flooding.
A neighbor across the street who was away on a business trip lost three cars to the flooding, and Toepper and other neighbors broke into his garage to rescue his dog and cat because the pet door was submerged. They tried to save more of his belongings, but they didn't have enough time.
"We were fighting a losing battle," she said. "It looked like a big roaring mess where those creeks came together. I was so amazed by the force of the water."
In Mt. Juliet, just outside Nashville, shop owner Richard Dorer awoke Thursday and was watching the morning television news when he saw the strip mall where his Teach a Child store is located was flooded. The store sells educational books, games and CDs.
Dorer said the store was also swamped when historic flooding struck in early May.
"That was supposed to be a once in a thousand year flood and now it's twice in a thousand years," Dorer said. "We will be lucky to come back from this."
Up to 6 inches had fallen in the area where Dorer's store is located. Several roads were closed, people had to be rescued from cars and a commuter rail track between Mt. Juliet and Lebanon was damaged, but was repaired and operating Thursday afternoon.
Still, the rainfall was still far less than the heaviest hit places further east of Nashville, like Cookeville, which got 11 or more inches.
Some minor flooding was still expected as the rainwaters flowed downstream into Nashville into the Pennington Bend area near the Gaylord Opryland Resort - which was hit hard in May - as well as some industrial areas and low-lying farmland.

As the gridiron mega-showdown between the Deimon Devil Bats and the Hakushu Dinosaurs rapidly approaches, players on both teams use their final moments to build as much strength as possible. Hoping to muscle-up so as to not be utterly obliterated by the monstrous Rikiya Gao, Kurita turns to an old rival for a unique bout of special training.
Also knowing full well that Hakushu will be gunning for his head, Hiruma imparts manager Mamori with some special instructions to be used in the (very likely) event that he gets knocked out of the game. Who will score the first touchdown and who will be carried off the field on a stretcher?!

The FC150 does a great job showing your serve. You can see the racket orientation very well throughout the serve.
For indoor tennis courts the typical lighting level are only roughly 1% of direct sunlight. The shutter has to be slow to collect enough light. The FH100 has a reputation for doing well in low light. As I recall my FH100 might need shutter speeds of about 1/400 to 1/1000 sec with ISO 3200 and f3.2. I usually will go for a faster shutter speed to get minimum motion blur as long as I can see the arms and racket, that is, I accept dark and less attractive videos.
At exposure times of 1/1,000 sec the motion blur should only be considerable on close-ups of very rapidly moving objects, for fast racket head speeds, etc.. Even then, you might still see what you are after, such as where on the racket face the ball was contacted.
If the FC150 can record at 60p fps and also set 1/1000 sec shutter speed in that mode you can record a match and still do pretty good stop action with 60p fps. Then at any time in your match you can evaluate your strokes, identify the causes of errors, lack of pace on some strokes, etc..
If you really want to get into it and compare your serves to pro serves side-by-side, look into free Kinovea.
So for $90 you got a high speed video camera that is capable of providing analysis of your serve!

BA: Dragon rally falls short
May 8, 2014By Andrew Smith of New Palestine High School
A rally from six runs down fell short with the tying run on base, as the New Palestine Dragons dropped a 10-8 baseball decision to Cathedral Wednesday afternoon.
New Palestine clawed back from deficits of 4-0, 8-2 and 10-4 -- the last was the margin going into the bottom of the sixth.
The Dragons scored twice in the fifth to cut the deficit to 8-4, keyed by Steven Clark's triple. They gave up two runs in the top of the sixth, then scratched across another run without the benefit of a hit, thanks to a walk, hit batsman and Cameron Clark's sacrifice fly, plating Zach Biddle.
In the seventh, the Dragons took advantage of two walks, an RBI single by Evan Vance and a 2-run single by Jason Hall-Manley to cut the deficit to 10-8. Nick Butcher singled to move Hall-Manley to third, bringing the tying run to the plate, but a strikeout ended the rally and the game.
Watson homered in the second inning to get the Dragons on the board. Logan Gilvin followed with a hit and scored.
The Dragons had nine hits, led by Watson, who was 2-3 with two runs and two RBI, in addition to his homer. Vance, Steven Clark and Cameron Clark each had a hit, a run and an RBI.
The Dragons (11-7) travel to Batesville Thursday to begin a three-game road swing that continues Friday at Martinsville and Monday at Fishers.

Chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC) Suresh Kalmadi made it clear on Friday that he was not quitting in the wake of the corruption charges against some OC officials.
He would not own up moral responsibility for the alleged financial irregularities committed by the suspended officials, T.S. Darbari and Sanjay Mahindroo.
Mr. Kalmadi said he would resign if there was a major inquiry. "But there is no such thing and everything is going fine."

Welsh rugby club Cardiff have said they are not chasing the coaching services of Rugby World Cup winner Graham Henry.
Henry, who is reportedly not going to re-apply for the All Blacks head coaching role when his contract with the NZRU expires, has been linked to the vacant Cardiff Blues club as speculation about his future grows.
But Cardiff chairman Peter Thomas had told the BBC that having Henry as a head coach at the club is 'not an option.'
There has been no discussion whatsoever for Graham Henry to come and coach the Cardiff Blues," Thomas told the BBC.
"I know he is coming to the UK in the near future and I'm sure he'll spend some time in Wales… if the opportunity arises I would be delighted for him to visit and have a look at the Cardiff Blues set-up.
"But there is no thought whatsoever on Graham Henry coming to coach the Cardiff Blues."
Henry has links in Wales after being a former coach of the national side.
He is also reported to be a good friend of Thomas, but he has firmly quashed any speculation about Henry becoming head coach at the club because they 'couldn't afford him.'
But there is a chance Henry could become vital in helping another Blues side.
Auckland Blues coach Pat Lam has thrown his support behind the suggestion Henry could play a role with club.
Henry is also a former coach with the Auckland Blues and Lam said he would love the chance to coach with Henry again who has been a terrific mentor as a coach and a player.
Lam told reporters he often meets with Henry for advice anyway, so officially or not, he's involved with the coaching of the side.
He also added that Henry would be embraced in the Blues coaching team in any capacity.
But first Henry is heading to London in November to coach the Barbarians in their one-off Test against the Wallabies.

The College Board, a non-profit association of more than 5,400 colleges and universities, estimates the lifetime "earnings premium" for a college graduate is $450,000 in today's dollars, or $570,000 for workers with graduate degrees.
"That's a much more accurate" estimate than the $1 million figure, says Sandy Baum, senior policy analyst for the College Board.
But Baum argues that a college education is more valuable during a recession, not less.
In a downturn, she says, "Most of the stories that say maybe it (college degree) isn't worth it any more find some unemployed college graduate," she says. "But unemployment among college graduates is still half that of high school graduates. A college education payoff is at least as high as it was before the recession. You're so much less likely to struggle if you have an education."
Laurence Kotlikoff, an economist at Boston University and developer of ESPlanner financial software, says his analysis of median earnings shows that college graduates nearly always fare better than those with just a high school diploma. But the amount students borrow can significantly reduce that advantage, he says.
Brenda Jaeggi, 26, of Galveston, graduated last May from Texas A&M University with a degree in maritime studies and more than $39,000 in student loans. About $22,000 of her loans are private loans, which are costlier and carry less flexible repayment terms than federal student loans.
Now, Jaeggi is struggling to make her $400 monthly payments. She's considering moving to a less-expensive apartment, although that likely will mean living in a neighborhood that isn't as safe as the one she's in now.
"I don't have any regrets about going to Texas A&M," Jaeggi says. "I'm proud to be part of that school and that culture. I very much regret how easy it was to get a student loan. Now, I'm stuck in this really bad pickle."
Graduates of elite schools contend that attending such a school gives them an edge in a tough job market.
Michelle Talbert, 39, has more than $90,000 in student loans from her undergraduate studies at Cornell University and law school at the University of Pennsylvania.
She recently was laid off by a law firm in Fairfax, Va., where she was a corporate associate specializing in mergers and acquisitions. Talbert says the connections she made in college helped her obtain contract work. Her current salary varies from month to month.
"I'm really enthusiastic about not letting circumstances that could appear to be a hurdle stop you from achieving a dream," says Talbert, a mother of two who got her undergraduate degree when she was 30. "For me, my dream was to go to college and go to law school."
College financial aid specialists say students should take a hard look at average salaries in their chosen profession before taking out student loans.
"If you think you want to be a preschool teacher, you should be more hesitant about borrowing than if you think you're going to be an engineer," Baum says.
Darla Horn says that if she had to do it all over, she would have taken a year off to figure out what she wanted to do with her life before attending college.
"Some kids know what they want — they want to go to medical school, or become doctors or lawyers," she says.
"But for someone that doesn't know what direction they want to head in, I would say, take a break, get to know yourself a little more, before you spend thousands of dollars on an education."

It's hard, even for an angry, arrogant, militant new atheist like me, to not like Pope Francis. He seems to be saying all the right things for someone in his position, rhetorically easing off of gays, emphasizing the plight of the poor, and not being afraid to bring himself to the level of those in need, or those with whom he has little in common.
It helps that he's so grandfatherly, with a warm smile and those standard-issue old-man glasses, whereas Ratzinger was so comically villainous.
Damon Linker, author of The Theocons and The Religious Test, wants progressives to temper their enthusiasm, however. Not because he sees Francis as nefarious, but rather he sees little evidence that a revolution of sorts is under way in the Church:

Keep Mosquitoes and More Out of Your Yard with Garlic From Garlic Research Labs, Inc.
Spraying garlic extract on grassy lawns is not as strange as it seems. Mosquito Barrier, a product from Garlic Research Labs, Inc. is being used successfully by city parks, golf courses and individuals all across the country. Mosquito Barrier is a very strong liquid garlic made from very potent garlic cloves which is considerably more potent than the garlic found in grocery stores. Garlic has a natural sulfur which repels insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and even black flies. Spraying garlic to keep insects away is not a new practice. Farmers and master gardeners have been doing it for many generations.
Mosquito Barrier is a three pronged attack. First, it kills the adult mosquitoes on contact. Second, the garlic coated plants keep mosquitoes out of the area. Lastly, it suffocates any mosquito larvae in standing water, such as puddles, under decks, water in tin cans or depressions in lawns. Generally, four applications are enough for the entire mosquito and tick season. Even in the heaviest of infestations the gallon size is nearly always sufficient for an entire year for most homes. For those concerned with the smell, the odor disappears once the garlic extract diluted in water dries, typically within 3 to 4 hours.
Mosquito Barrier is currently being used successfully in a wide variety of applications.
In a recent Official study conducted by the Division of Malaria Control in

Panduranga Sarma's concert had melody and variety.
R.V. Panduranga Sarma's concert who is the disciple of Puranam Purushothama Sastry and D.K. Pattammal was held at Thyagaraya Gana Sabhathe auspices of Vamsee Art theatres.
He began his concert with an accurate and sonorous rendition of Kedaragowla varnam in the company of B. Pawan Singh on violin and Burra Sriram on mridangam and V. Rajiv, his disciple lent his support voice.
The swarakalpana in this was quite exercising. This was followed by Sakalagrahabala of Purandaradasu in Athana and Cheri Brova Samayamide in Chintamani of Shyama Sastry; simple kirtanas. Later, Sarma took up Vachaspati as his first ragalapana, prelude to Paratpara of Papanasam Sivan.
He was successful in evoking the mood of the raga rendering in medium tempo and made an effort to balance the effect creating an interesting finish.
He brought out the unique beauty of the raga through just a few phrases in the elaborate alapana.
The kriti rendition was dotted with a fine nereval at the line 'Hari Ayanam' followed by swarakalapana with a liberal dose of purposeful swaras.
Melody and range are his forte with vocal span covering from lower Pancham to higher pancham. Sitamma Mayamma in Vasantha with swarakalpana was a faithful rendition.
Violinist Pawan Singh followed him like a shadow and excelled equally in both segments of raga and swara. 'Hay Kamakshi' in Yadukula Kambhoji he sang later was a rare kirtana that Pattammal taught him.
Maayamma in Ahiri of Shyama Sastry refreshed the mood that was followed by a Ramadasu keertana Naraharini Nammaka that he learned from Puranam Purushothama Sastry. V. Rajiv actively participated and proved that he is a good artiste in the making.

Hey gasmask, thanks for the kind words!
I'm just starting to get into using more tone in my work. At least, I really want to. But, these drawings are primarily black and white line drawings. Once I get the inks on there, things will clear up some, which is the point of inking, I think...heh.
I'll get some tonal stuff up as soon as I get it going, I'll expect a good crit from you when I do!

The Florida County Property Appraiser Offices have started to mail the 2011 Property Tax Assessment Notices, commonly known as TRIM Notices. These Notices present the 2011 property assessments and are mailed for both real and for personal property. It is critical to review these Notices upon receipt as the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) appeal period is only 25 days from the date of mailing. Any appeal filed with the VAB after the filing deadline will be returned. Only under the most extreme circumstances may the VAB allow a late filing, and only after a hearing on the issue. If you are unsure of the validity of an assessment appeal, filing a timely appeal protects your appeal rights while the value is being analyzed, and there is no penalty for withdrawal.
Akerman handles property assessment appeals at both the VAB and circuit court level. Assessment appeals involve complex valuation issues in which our attorneys are trained. With a team including an attorney that holds the MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute, Akerman regularly handles appeals throughout the state of Florida.
