Kaduthuruthy is a town in Kottayam District and it shares border with Kochi Metropolitan Area.
Kaduturuthy has an average elevation of 12 m (39 ft). Its name derives from Kadal thuruth, meaning near to the beach as it is believed that several centuries ago, the Arabian sea extended inward into the place, and that it receded due to a tsunami.
Kaduthuruthy has a picturesque nature and ecosystem. It is a transit point between the hilly middle region of Kerala and backwater coastal land. The nearest main railway station is Kaduthuruthy.
The first Sandesha Kavyam (Message in Poetry) in Malayalam called "Unnuneeli Sandesham" gives an insight into the history of the town. The author is believed to have been a member of one of the Travancore Royal Families. The work describes the grand harbour of the town in great detail, although the sea is now several miles away having receded some time in the 14th century possibly following an earthquake or a tsunami.
Thaliyil Mahadeva Temple[edit]
Thaliyil Mahadeva Temple (Malayalam:തളിയില് മഹാദേവ ക്ഷേത്രം) is one of the best known Shiva Temples in Kerala. It is believed that the consecration at Vaikom was done at the same time. There is also a replica of the Ettumannor Shiva Idol in the temple, thus it is believed that visit here is as good as a visiting all three noted Shiva temples (Vaikom, Ettumanoor and Thaliyil Mahadeva) on the same day before noon. The temple sits adjacent to the Ernakulam-Ettumannor Road.
According to legend, the shivling (symbolic representation of the deity) was installed here by a demon named 'Khara'. This demon (of the Khara Dhooshana demon duo) featured in the Ramayana, worshiped Shiva at Chidambaram and obtained from him three Shivalingams. He travelled holding one shivalingam in each hand and one in his mouth. Kadichiruthy Prathishitta later become Kaduthuruthy. The remaining two shivlings were installed at the Ettumanoor Mahadeva Temple and Vaikom Mahadevar Temple. The name Kaduthuruthy, also believed to have emanated from this temple and etiology has it that Kadichu (bite) Irutthy (make some one sit).
Kaduthuruthy Valiya Palli (ലോകമെങ്ങുമുള്ള ക്നാനായ മക്കളുടെ തലപ്പള്ളി)[edit]
Kaduthuruthy Valiya Palli (കടുത്തുരുത്തി വലിയ പളളി) / Ave Maria (ആവേ മരിയ) of Knanaya Community was established in AD 400. The present Kaduthuruthy St. Mary's Valiya Palli is a third building in the name of Virgin Mary known as Kaduthuruthy Muthiyamma (കടുത്തുരുത്തി മുത്തിയമ്മ). Kaduthuruthy Valiya Palli had a glorious history in the past with its supreme position with the Vadakkumkur (present Vaikom) Kingdom. The history of this church is manifested with the history of the Knanaya community or the Jewish Christians known as Southist Syrian Christians(തെക്കു൦ഭാഗർ) now a day's termed as Knanites (ക്നാനായക്കാ൪). The present building is the third building in Kaduthuruthy constructed in AD 1456 and it had a strong fort as mentioned in the song of the church. Thus the present church building is constructed with all its artistic splendour and characteristics of Gothic Art, to proclaim and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and value the heritage of biblical faith, tradition, liturgy and the rich variety of customs and tradition in Knanaya Community guided by the forefathers. This church belongs to the Archdiocese of Kottayam and is considered as the Head Church (തലപ്പള്ളി) for both knanaya Catholics and Knanaya Jacobites.
Kaduthuruthy Muthiyamma[edit]
Kaduthuruthy St. Mary is known as Kaduthuruthy Muthiyamma (കടുത്തുരുത്തി മുത്തിയമ്മ). Kaduthuruthy Valiya Palli is one of the churches where Virgin Mary appeared in front of the devotees as an old woman (മുത്തിയമ്മ). Southists of Kaduthuruthy had been considering Virgin Mary is the patron of their church for the remembrance of their first set of churches in Kodungallur. According to Bishop Francis Roz in his report to Serra (1603/1604), says that he has read from a Chaldean book that there were 3 churches in Cranganore built by the Thomman Keenan and his descendents. Southist Syrian Christians built 3 churches in Kodungallur immediately after they had been given permission to settle down in Kodungallur by the Chera King. They are in the Name of Virgin Mary, St. Thomas and St. Kuriakose. The old wooden buildings constructed for the first 3 churches are said to have last for four hundred years. First church building in Kaduthuruthy in the name of Virgin Mary (കന്നിയുമ്മ) had constructed from wooden logs in a square shape and known as Square Church. Those churches in Kodungallur constructed by Thomman Keenan and his companions were completely destroyed later, as a result of a continuous clash between the neighbouring kings. But the church built in the name of St. Thomas had under gone many relocations and renovation, helped this church to survive till 15th century and had reconstructed by Portuguese after the destruction of Cranganore. According to Mar Jacob Abuna (1533), Dionysio (1578), Bishop Francis Roz (1604) on their report says that the church which stood in Cranganore had been there from the third century and was built by Thomas of Cana. It is the Syrian tradition of Southists to being faithful to the Virgin Mary, resulted them to accept Virgin Mary as the patron of the church built in Kaduthuruthy in fourth century. The same tradition is practiced in their other ancient churches like Udayamperoor, Mulanthuruthy, Kottayam Chungam and Kallissery. Later Southist community lost the control over the church in Mulanthuruthy and Udayamperoor. Their seamless faith is accounted by Virgin Mary and she revealed herself as an old woman in front of the devotees. This miraculous appearance of Virgin Mary happened during the erection of the historic granite cross of Kaduthuruthy Vallyapalli. The sculpture and carving work of the Cross from a single stone block had completed with a total height of 50 feet in AD 1596. It is believed that the iconic Kaduthuruthy Vallyapalli Cross is the highest open air cross in Asia, made out from a single block. Being monolithic in its shape, which in fact proclaiming the glory of Kaduthuruthy Vallyapalli and the Southists of Kaduthuruthy. As it is gigantic in structure, it was very difficult to upright the cross and to position in the courtyard of the Vallyapalli. During that time when they faced difficulty to upright the cross, Virgin Mary-the patron of the Kaduthuruthy Vallyapalli revealed herself as an old woman (Muthiyamma) and helped them to upright the cross miraculously by supporting the cross by her hand. Kaduthuruthy Vallyapalli is one of the churches blessed by Virgin Mary by appearing in front of the devotees as an old woman. There after the Blessed Virgin Mary residing in Kaduthuruthy Vallyapalli known as Kaduthuruthy Muthiyamma (കടുത്തുരുത്തി വാഴു൦ മുത്തിയമ്മ). Bishop Alexis Dom Menesis had carried out the inaugural blessing of the Cross situated on the courtyard of this Church, during the Holy Friday of 1599. Thousands of pilgrims are visiting the church during the first Friday celebration and 3-Nombu feast, praying to their Kaduthuruthy Muthiyamma by repeating scriptures as follows...
"അമ്മേ, അമ്മേ അമലോത്ഭവയേ അളവില്ലാത്തൊരു സ്നേഹമായി രക്ഷാകര സഹകാരിണിയേ-കൃപ ചൊരിയുക ഞങ്ങൾക്കനവരത൦ മുത്തിയമ്മേ-മുത്തിയമ്മേ കടന്തേരിയിലെ മുത്തിയമ്മേ"......

What's Your All Time Favorite Cereal?
I was reading about an online survey that asked people about their favorite cereal. Of course, reading about that right away in the morning made me think about eating my favorite cereal.
I was reading about an online survey that asked people about their favorite cereal. Of course, reading about that right away in the morning made me think about eating my favorite cereal.
Grilling season is coming. I swear. So, I will be sharing a few of my favorite and sometimes slightly unusual but highly tasty grilling recipes.
I like to think of myself as pretty strong and I generally don't care what others think of me. It's what you say to my face that can get you on my bad side.
I saw that it was Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day yesterday and since there aren't any B&J's close by, I bought a small container of ice cream to eat as a treat last night, but I was forced to share after repeated harassment from my cat.
I fancy myself a jelly bean connoisseur. I love gourmet jelly beans, but are they really worth the extra money if you can't tell the difference in taste between the flavors?
I once heard that "Love and cooking should be approached with the same reckless abandon". Challenge accepted.
I will be the first to tell you I'm a picky eater. I try to eat well but usually I'm on the go, so that makes it hard. Not to mention, eating healthy can be expensive.
Fast food is good. Not always good for you, but a quarter pounder with cheese, hot tasty French fries and an icy cold Diet Coke is just about perfection. Right? You may prefer Wendy's or Burger King, but did you know that it's all trickery?
BACON? Somebody said BACON...
For years I've heard how good fish is and I don't know what I'm missing out on. I know that I'm not missing out an anything.
About three or four months ago, I decided I was going to start working out and eating cleaner. That didn't happen, until just recently...
I just read a story about a guy who has only eaten cheese pizza for the past 23 years. He's a vegetarian who doesn't like vegetables. It got me thinking if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Electic Bilge Pump Installation
I have a 1984 C&C 35-3. It currently has two maunal diaphram bilge pumps. One in the cockpit and one under the port settee. I have several questions regarding upgrading this system. First of all, will this require a new thru hull? Can an electic pump be installed through the same thru hull as the manual and preserve function of the manual one as a back-up? The main pump now runs from the keel sump through corrugated hose and probably 4' static head. From everything I've read this corrugated hose should difinitely be replaced with a smooth one. The previous (and only) owner seem to do fine with this set-up during 28 years on a mooring and raced at least 10 Chicago-Mac races with it - so I believe it's up to the task of my coastal crusing requirements, but I would prefer the ease and piece of mind of an electric pump. As I will also be on a mooring and am assuming this will draw between 6 and 8 amps so I'm also concerned about coming back to dead batteries after an extended period away from the boat. Thoughts and recommendations about how others have handled this??

While, Avram Grant is in line to take charge temporarily at the Stamford Bridge until the end of the season.
London: In a dramatic development simmering around the Stamford Bridge, it has been reported that Jose Mourinho might return to Chelsea this summer. While Avram Grant has emerged as a top contender to see through the rest of the club's season following Rafael Benitez's displeasure to continue.
Benitez criticised both the board and sections of fans after Wednesday night match against Middlesborough, which Chelsea won. Moreover, the Spaniard has confirmed that he won't be staying beyond the end of his contract this summer. But on the other hand, Chelsea are planning to end his tenure before that.
Recently Grant has been seen attending matches at Stamford Bridge and according to the Evening Standard he could take charge temporarily with Mourinho being the hot favourite to make a comeback.
Benitez was seen at the training ground on Thursday after making his intentions of leaving the club public. He berated the board for appointing him as 'interim' manager and some section of fans indulging in chanting and displaying banners.
Added to that the results and his tactics could also lead to his premature departure from Chelsea, as reported. Despite being less popular at Chelsea after succeeding Mourinho in 2007, Grant could be the temporary replacement. Two weeks ago during a match, Grant was seen with Roman Abramovich in the owner's box. But the Special One who has won five trophies at Chelsea is moving closer of sealing the deal.
To confirm more, the Evening Standard has reported that Mourinho is almost certain to leave Real Madrid after disagreements with few high-profile players and the club's hierarchy and can attract host of Europe's top clubs.
Paris St-Germain and Manchester City have already showed interest, but Chelsea are in the pole position to rope in Mourinho. It is believed that Mourinho is ready to work under Abramovich once again under certain conditions. Firstly, he wants greater control over the club's transfer policy and secondly needs guarantees over less interference from Abramovich in team affairs
Do you think Jose Mourinho will return to Chelsea?

Manila Pavilion completes first phase of P500-M renovation
popular .
Manila Pavilion Hotel of hotel chain operator Waterfront Philippines Inc. has completed a crucial phase of a P500-million renovation program which is expected to jack up its room revenue by 50 percent.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Friday, the Gatchalian family-led Waterfront said Manila Pavilion recently completed the secondary phase of its renovation program covering 223 upper floor rooms and suites.
Aside from its two-category deluxe rooms, executive rooms and premier suites, Manila Pavilion is adding Ambassador club rooms to its offerings in a bid to grab a bigger share of the corporate market. This is complemented by the offering of two new Presidential Suites.
"As one of the pioneering hotels in the country, we see ourselves as pioneers for steadfast innovations to meet and beat competition. In this promising part of Manila, we just can't wait to create a signature that will amalgamate our hallmark design concepts, high-tech features and exceptional service to complete that grandeur experience for our guests," said Manila Pavilion general manager Christopher Park.
"The end result of this program will increase the rooms revenue of the hotel by 50 percent, as a result of more expected bookings from premium corporate and travel clients," Waterfront said in the disclosure.
Waterfront said this redevelopment process would continue to cover 250 superior rooms and suites at the lower floors. Function rooms and food and beverage facilities will also be upgraded.
This property is a "quintessential landmark" in Manila, Waterfront said, noting the hotel's proximity to an array of historic sites, major ports and various entertainment hubs.
The Manila Pavilion Hotel also houses the Casino Filipino Pavilion, which provides patrons with uninterrupted gaming on the first three floors of the hotel.
For the renovation, Waterfront said internationally-renowned Filipino designer Sonia Santiago Olivares had created a design concept using bright room colors and functional furnishings "that show a touch of modernism, yet still imbue the interiors with classic elegance."
The room themes were developed with two objectives in mind—maximizing guest satisfaction in order to generate repeat bookings, while keeping room maintenance costs to minimum levels, the company said in the disclosure.
Apart from Manila Pavilion, Waterfront operates G Hotel in Manila, Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino and the Waterfront Airport Hotel & Casino Mactan in Cebu and the Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao in Davao. The chain has about 1,500 rooms, employs 1,500 employees and has more than 41,000 square meters of convention and gaming space.

The Dishcrawl team in downtown San Jose. Founder and CEO Tracy Lee is centered, in the green sweater. Tina Case Photography
The UpTake: Tracy Lee's Dishcrawl, which arranges restaurant sampling tours, has expanded to 250 cities and hosts about 100 culinary events a month as it builds a North American foodie network.
How does that relationship work?
Remember when Patch.com scaled out? Their model was to find local people in local cities, find community curators, these editors. The issue for a larger corporation trying to do this is that it's really expensive. All of a sudden you need a manager to manage the people on the ground and a manager to manage the managers. You have to pay everyone full salaries. All the companies I've seen try to do that failed and scaled back. I feel like now a lot of the large companies are trying to scale out again, and they're trying to find smarter, cheaper ways to do it. That's where we come in. If a company wants to scale into San Jose, for example, they don't have to hire someone here. They can say, "OK, Dishcrawl. I want a media party, I want contracts from restaurants," and we can help them do that.
Who have you worked with?
Match, Google, eBay, Paypal, Cisco…there's so many.
What parts of the business are growing fastest?
Most of the growth is coming from being great infrastructure partners to the larger brands, and helping consumer packaged goods scale out. Since we have great, highly targeted foodies in every single city, any company trying to gain that grassroots awareness, we can help them reach that demographic and hopefully drive sales locally.
Any acquisition talks lately? Does Google want to buy you? Yelp?
We've definitely been having some interesting conversations.
Is an acquisition the long-term plan?
Yes. We're definitely in interesting conversations right now. But it's not a tomorrow thing.
Most successful city you're in?
Here and Memphis. And Winston-Salem in really amazing. Hamilton, Ontario, and Montreal. It's interesting because a lot of companies are going in top-tier cities, whereas for us, we find going into second-tier cities works really well for us.

Budget hotel without budget pricing
May 14, 2015
This is a long stay hotel meaning, no maid service, it is moderately clean, no ice machines, and there is no breakfast option. The rooms on the front have glaring light in the windows. The AC units run loud and blow very cold air so you are either freezing when they are running or it is stuffy when they cycle off. The internet, while faster than most, dropped service repeatedly. The bedding was rough and uncomfortable. You can do much better for the price.

Saving Mr Banks – That Old Boy Magic Blinds Justice Again
May 24, 2015
To the few chaste court observers still believing New Zealand courts are just, even while they hide many rulings on grounds of privacy, this past week was a tsunami. On 14 May, High Court Judge Pamela Andrews ruled in Comissioner of Police v Burgess that property, including "motor vehicles, a boat, a tractor, and household chattels" seized by police under a temporary restraining order since 2010 is not unreasonably withheld – even if any police application to seize will not be raised until six years later. The Judge recorded that the previously patient woman-owner had abided by the annual extension of the police conversion until last year. Days earlier, a six month old judgment in Q v Le was publicly released. The […]
The (Almost) Secret Ransom For An Appearance Of Justice
May 12, 2015
'To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice' came into English law lexicon via the Magna Carta exactly 800 years ago. Today it is the longest surviving, if not the most rooted, legal tenet in democracies around the world. Earlier this year, the New Zealand Court of Appeal broke with precedent when one of its many registrars decided one appellant needed to pay $344,000 'security' to obtain a hearing. Security is collected by the NZ Court of Appeal to insure payment of the respondent's legal costs if the appeal proves unsuccessful. The registrar issued this historic impediment after initially setting security at the $23,520 figure provided by the rules – 7% of his/her revised ruling. The legal community and […]
No Remedy to Unlawful Acts of Registrars, Judge Rules
April 28, 2015
Wellington Justice David Collins ruled this month that administrative decisions of Court of Appeal and Supreme Court Registrars affecting the public at large are not judicially reviewable. The Judgment's reasoning: Registrars act "under the supervision of the Judges who comprise the Court". The judgment summarily struck out a judicial review of the Supreme Court Registrar's order of general prohibition against public record access at the Supreme Court. Currently no one is allowed access to applications and submissions in appeals the Supreme Court rejects without hearing. The ruling, Rabson v Registrar of the Supreme Court , turned New Zealand's jurisprudence on its ear. Parliament had 'guaranteed' judicial review against Crown decisions in enacting section 27 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights […]
Supreme Court Is As Supreme Court Does
April 10, 2015
When it comes to prostitutes and New Zealand judges, there is legitimate debate as to which have more secrets. New Zealand media shunned a press release this week by a man in a New Zealand Supreme Court case as "too scandalous" to print. Relevantly, the accuracy of the press release was not in question. The press release refers to court records at the New Zealand Supreme Court and Court of Appeal revealing that, after Court of Appeal Justice Rhys Harrison personally assigned himself an appeal to dismiss, each Court refused to allow a review of Harrison's actions. The appeal of "N v M" actually went twice to the NZ Supreme Court, where even the orders of secrecy are ordered secret. […]
Racist Invective is Latest Corruption Diversion in New Zealand
March 27, 2015
Fairfax media's business story yesterday concerned Deloitte's annual business survey which found 24% of NZ business people experienced domestic corruption in the past five years. But it was the first sentence which told the true objective. "An increase in bribery and corruption tarnishing New Zealand's ethical image may be due to an influx of migrants from countries where such practices are normal." The reporter than cited one recent case of a Chinese developer "allegedly attempting" to bribe an Auckland Council officer as support for this "working theory". The racist theory was attributed to Ian Tuke (pictured), an associate director of Deloitte in New Zealand. Tuke's consulting CV touts his many years "dedicated to protecting public and private sector clients from […]
March 23, 2015
Control of the media is a central aim of every government to varying degrees and for various reasons. We tend to think, to the extent it occurs in New Zealand, the manipulation is relatively innocuous. Nicky Hager's book Dirty Politics, released last year, gave us a peak at the dust on the frost which accumulates on the crust of the tip of the press deception iceberg in New Zealand. This keyhole view, limited to a few conservative politicians, still offended the sensitivities of many New Zealanders. On 10 March 2015, the New Zealand Herald ran a story of a Wellington man's apparent abuse of the New Zealand court system. Under the close-up photo of a Lotto ticket (replicated here), the […]

For some, picking up a new hobby can be daunting. Mastering it, even harder. But that's not the case for 97-year-old Lisle Meloy of Gresham, who taught himself to build ukuleles when he was 92.
GRESHAM, Ore. -- For some, picking up a new hobby can be daunting. Mastering it, even harder. But that's not the case for 97-year-old Lisle Meloy of Gresham.
Meloy, whose friends call him Bill, has always loved ukulele music. His favorite vacations are the ones he took to Hawaii with his wife, Helen, now deceased.
"One of the things I really enjoyed the most in Hawaii is the music," Meloy said. "It's pretty hard to beat."
But it wasn't until five years ago, when Meloy was 92, that he decided to try his hand at making the delicate guitar-like instruments.
At 97, Gresham man hones hobby of crafting ukuleles from Sara Roth on Vimeo.
After his first try yielded a "first-class ukulele," he decided to keep going. So far, he's made 23 ukuleles and has sold nearly half of them to friends and musicians.
"It turned out to be a pretty nice hobby," he said. "It's such an involved process."
Meloy walks with a bit of a shuffle, but that doesn't stop him from the physical labor of building the ukuleles. He crafts them in his garage, which is filled with tools and machinery used to heat, bend and cut the specialty Hawaiian and African woods he sources for the instruments.
"The most involved part is bending the wood. That's critical," he said. "It doesn't always turn out the way you think it's going to be. Sometimes, you use too much heat and burn the wood. Sometimes, the wood cracks."
But under Meloy's careful eye, each instrument has emerged nearly flawless. The wood gleams and the musicians he's sold them to say the sound is impeccable.
This isn't the first hobby Meloy has immersed himself in. When he was in his 60s, he took up oil painting. Now, many of those detailed landscapes line the walls of his home.
He's been collecting antique radios nearly all of his life, and radios ranging from the size of toasters to pianos are scattered throughout his house.
"I've been into radios since day one," Meloy said.
Meloy is also a master gardener, filling his dining room with starts in the winter and moving the seedlings to his outdoor garden beds once the cold Oregon rains subside in the spring.
Meloy said it's his hobbies that have kept him feeling young for so long. He worked for many years in construction and maintenance, first for himself then at Portland State University. But he said the secret to his longevity is pursuing passions outside of work.
"Do the things you want to do for recreation," he said. "Get something that you just love to do."
Now, at 97, it's building ukuleles that Meloy loves most. They bring back fond memories of his trips to Hawaii, which slowed after Helen died in 1989 and stopped altogether about five years ago.
Meloy lives alone now. He wears a Life Alert necklace and is visited for a few hours each day by a neighbor. His two daughters stop by as much as they can, but Meloy said he's often lonely. His ex-girlfriend, who just turned 100, recently moved to a nursing home.
"I never thought much about old age, then all of a sudden it was here," he said.
Still, he continues to make the instruments that have brought him so much joy.
Now, Meloy is measuring his life in ukuleles.
"I'm counting out about two at a time," he said.
Lisle Meloy continues to sell his handmade ukuleles from his home in Gresham. To purchase a ukulele, call 503-667-8109.

Rosa Parks elementary school is EXCELLENT! The past principal and current principal both have put their hearts into this school to make it what it is today. You can feel the warmth when you walk into the school. The staff knows each child by name and that is very impressive. My daughter always achieves honor roll and has learned so much in her 4 years at Rosa Parks. Thank you Rosa Parks staff for giving my daughter an awesome start.
This is an excellent school. The resources seem to be used in the best way possible. Lots of technology and a fair amount of diversity in the staff...people of all ages, different ethnicities, & both genders.
This school has everything I could ask for in a school. An administration that is beyond outstanding- very in touch, caring, involved, fantastic communicators, and quickly solves any issues. The instructors (including the music, art, PE, science, etc.) are very dedicated- and passionate about what they teach. The four classroom (home-room) teachers I've got to know very well are all exceptional! The classes appropriately challenge my children. My kids always come home pleased with this school. They love school- it is fun to them and they are most certainly learning every day. I feel like my children are treated like individuals here, not just a part of a group. They are very in-tune to my kid's feelings and immediately detect something when they aren't being their normal selves- and immediately contact my husband and I. The front office staff must have the greatest memories- they know the kids by their names and our situations at home. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS SCHOOL!
Great leadership. Sound basics. Solid discipline. Strong communication. Family friendly. Principal makes decisions based on what she would want for her own children. Rich activities- talent show, music programs, fitness. Excellent music program. Instruction- Committed gifted education staff. Classroom instruction varies, as w/any school. History and science are given short shrift by most teachers. A science lab is in the rotation of 'specials' each week. Reading instruction is quite strong. Writing could be more rigorous. Kids are not taught cursive in any coherent way. Mathematics is a mystery- teachers have not bought into county's new math program and so they appear to rely almost exclusively on Accelerated Math which is a pretty boring and low level test/drill/test/drill approach to math instruction. This is an area where they could improve. Technology use by teachers is above average. PTO is active and school has good resources- it is relatively new.
School and staff is excellent. They do everything withing their power to accommodate the student's needs. My son went from being labeled with ADD at a previous school to the gifted program on this one. They worked with him to see how they could help him better and in the process learned he was just bored and not challenged enough. This year he got a score of 600 on his SOL and that is a perfect score. This was possible thanks to dedicated teachers and a very dedicated and hard working principal, vice principal and encore teachers. No wonder it's been school of excellence since it opened. Every year teachers and even the principal are awarded by the county. Is by far the best school my kids have been to!
This school is great! Being a military family, our kids have gone to a couple of different elementary schools. The school offers music, art, PE, computer and science labs as part of the curriculum and the staff and administrators know just about every child by name. They study and work hard, then are rewarded for their hard work! My 4th grader just attended an Honor Roll Sleepover at the school. The teachers send home weekly progress reports as a way of communicating about your child's progress. They are a little funny when it comes to any type of holiday celebrations. The children were not allowed to dress up for Halloween--even in Halloween t-shirts and their was no mention of Christmas or Christianity in their study of holidays. They also didn't allow any holiday parties. I know this might be considered nit-picky, but it was something that bothered me.
I'll have to admit I was hesitant from the beginning about sending my children to public school. I was requested by another parent to give this school a try. Boy, am I glad I did! What an excellent staff starting with the Principal and Asst Principal. They make every effort to know each child by name, and what's going on in their lives to better understand their learning habits. This school goes above and beyond the call of duty, and I would (and have) advocate this school to any parent in this district. If you're not afraid to get involved in your child's education, you can't go wrong with this school! They are continually finding new ways to challenge and reward the students.
The school does very well in communicating to parents via monthly newsletters/bulletins and the website; however, communicating on an individual level continues to be a problem, particularly teacher-to-parent and teacher-to-child, e.g., homework and test dates/results. While the focus of the school is on achievement--recognition of excellence in SOLs, attendance, and requirements toward the IBP--the emphasis tends to be all about the school (and the school district looking good), rather than what the school and the district are doing to promote the individual achievement of the child. Perhaps one cause is that funding is attached to SOLs and IBP, but this isn't likely the entire problem.
Excellent caring teachers combined with high tech classrooms. We have been with the school for two years and love it. The kids all have so much pride instilled from the administration. The teachers provide additional resources and helpful hints when needed. Encore subjects are great and PTO is very involved. My kids love going to school. Thank you Mrs. Hart.
Wonderful administration! I can't say enough about the dedication & professionalism of the staff. Academics are top notch & the parent is constantly informed. Administration makes children feel loved & often plans special events & gifts to reward their hard work. Absolutely love this school & feel honored to be part of the rosa parks family....Oh & the pto does it all for the school...A rock climbing wall...You name it!

Olympic Games and India
Olympics, india, olymic players, Gagan Naarang.
Comments (1)|1 Liked It
Friends very first hi to all of you and secondly I would wish for a huge success of India in London Olympic 2012. And I am praying to god for this. In fact not only I but the whole nation is praying. On every moment everyone is keeping his eye on the performance of Indian Olympic contestants.
Media And sports lover and even a common citizen of India who is not having very much interest and even not having enough time to watch a game also prays to god for the Indian success and feel proud on a successful performance. Because this is the time when the sport is not just a matter of game but it's a matter of esteem, reputation and patriotism.
Well recently Gagan Naarang took a bronze meddle and opened the account of India in London Olympic 2012. And it's really an admirable incident. We all are feeling proud of Gagan Naarang. Indian prime minister and officials have congratulated him. He has been awarded an IAS Rank, and one crore rupees also. I am also happy and felling proud but at the same time I am little bit afraid and disappointed as I came to know that India is having only twenty meddles during his complete journey of participating in Olympic Games since last 112 years.
Few days ago I was watching a news report and it was based on the poor condition of Olympic players of India. And when I went through that program I realized that why our players and playing level is so poor. Why the nation is only having 20 meddles.
I wish as the government and Indian officials are appreciating Gagan Naarang and giving him awards and rewards, government would start thinking about their training about their facilities, and would take some forward steps so that we can not only have a ray of hope to get meddles but we would be confident that we will get the meddles.
Finally again with the best wishes for Indian Olympic participants I would stop here.
Thanks and bye…

The ongoing controversy sparked by Syed Ali Shah Geelani's controversial remarks was preceded by two recent incidents. Both of which have sparked fresh hopes in Kashmir. One: the recent statement by BJP leader Arun Jaitley seeking to address the concerns of the people of Jammu and Kashmir through 'insaniyat' (humane approach). Two: the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, a known hardliner, abandoning his party's customary bravado on abrogating Article 370. Jaitley's statement came close on the heels of praise from some unlikely quarters — the moderate faction of Hurriyat (M) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Both praised Atal Bihari Vajpayee for initiating a "credible" and "substantive" India-Pakistan dialogue — first, in 1998 in Lahore, and later in January 2004 in Islamabad, braving the furore triggered by the crises of Kargil and the attack on Indian Parliament.
Battle-scarred by two decades of militancy and high-handed State response, Kashmir encapsulates a heartbreaking story of ordinary people. The origins of this battle are over four-and-half centuries old. Successive rules by the Mughals, Pathans, Sikhs and Dogras, did not — in any way — change the lot of the common man. Kashmiri masses continued to live in darkness under governments which had clearly washed their hands of governance. Submitting his resignation to Maharaja Hari Singh in 1929, the state's foreign and political minister Albion Bannerji, then told the media: "There is no touch between the government and the people, no suitable opportunity for representing grievances and the administrative machinery itself requires overhauling from top to bottom to bring it up to modern standards of efficiency. It has presented little or no sympathy with the people's wants and grievances.
"Both in India and Pakistan, academics, media, intellectuals and government functionaries have always analysed the Kashmir tangle within the Partition framework. India perceives the issue through a telescope in Pakistan: for all the omissions committed by Pakistan, Kashmiris have to be punished. Subjugation of the ordinary Kashmiri began with the Mughals annexing the region in November 1586. The armed movements or street outpourings in Kashmir have linkages harking back to 450 years. Armed insurgencies against rulers by people like Malik Hassan, Mohammed Naji, Yusuf Khan and Abdul Khan, Sabz Ali Khan dotted the history of Kashmir at various stages. The first outpouring of anger in Kashmir was also described as Asia's first trade union movement in 1865. Scores of shawl weavers marched on the streets of Zaldagar against the 'cruel tax regime. The Dogra regime killed 28 shawl weavers at point blank range. In the global context, the blood of Kashmiri labourers was spilled much before the Chicago Haymarket incident of 1886, observed the world over as May Day. Yet again in 1925, revolting labourers at a silk factory in Kashmir, took to the streets. This was followed by the emergence of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah a decade later in 1931.
The contemporary events in Kashmir have their roots in the social, political and economic deprivations in the region, estranging and alienating an entire community. Even India's Independence could not heal the alienation. After accession, other Indian states developed, but Jammu and Kashmir withered. Guarded by a heavy military presence, not only did the state turn into a landlocked region, its connections with the external world too snapped. Even six decades later, there is little or no realisation in India about the depth of this tragic estrangement. There is no scholarly work to understand its causes. Not surprisingly, all the cures prescribed over the years have failed.
One needs to admit that no propaganda by "fundamentalists" or external aid alone can foster and sustain armed insurgencies for such a protracted period. According to the noted author on Kashmir affairs AG Noorani, India produced the alienation, Pakistan provided the gun. The alienation has only deepened over the last two decades. This explains why Kashmir's mainstream political parties fail to bail out Delhi's central political leadership at crucial junctures. The 2008 Amarnath land row saw both National Conference (NC) as well as Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) siding with the separatists. In 1989, Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah not only resigned but took off for London, leaving New Delhi in a lurch to tackle the rising militancy.
To narrow the deep-rooted estrangement, the government needs to adopt sustained multi-pronged security as well as political initiatives. For instance, devolving power to different regions of Kashmir through regional councils could play a great role in the overall empowerment of the population. In 1993 a notification issued by the then governor established a regional council in Ladakh. The idea was extended in 2003 to Kargil, soon after Mufti Mohammad Sayeed assumed office. These councils have been successful in meeting regional aspirations. There is a need to extend this experiment to other regions and sub-regions. It may be useful to set up at least six more councils, three each in Jammu and Kashmir regions.
Kashmiri Muslims suffer from a sense of psychological, emotional, political and historical disempowerment 400 years old. Even with its flexible democratic system, India has failed to address this problem. Kashmiri Muslim sub-nationalism could have existed within the idea of India as Tamil, Telugu or Bengali sub-nationalism has. But soon after Kashmir's accession, elections to the Constituent Assembly (CA) betrayed the trust of Kashmiris. All of the 75 members were elected unopposed. And this non-representative CA not only ratified accession to India, but also gave Jammu and Kashmir its Constitution.
A glaring case in point of people's disempowerment is the ban on student unions in Kashmir University and other educational institutions. No political debates are allowed in the campus. But just 300 kms away, BJP leader Rajnath Singh and the RSS chief can speak from the Jammu University podium. The continued heavy military presence and the sealing off of traditional routes with the external world make Kashmiris feel like prisoners in their own land. Realising the urgency of the situation, former Prime Ministers Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh talked of cross-border linkages and opened the LoC for travel and trade.
The process of healing in conflict regions is always difficult and agonising. But the process has to begin. And it must begin immediately by addressing the feeling of disempowerment, the prison mindset, reviving traditional linkages with the external world, and providing thereby a basis for India and Pakistan and the Kashmiri population to evolve a long-term settlement of the conflict in Jammu and Kashmir.

Natural history
All tree squirrels are diurnal and arboreal, but the range of vertical activity in species differs widely, especially among those living in tropical rainforests. Some, such as the Oriental giant squirrels (genus Ratufa) and the African giant squirrels (genus Protoxerus), rarely descend from the high canopy. Others, like the pygmy squirrel of Sulawesi (Prosciurillus murinus), travel and forage at intermediate levels between ground and canopy. Some large tropical squirrels, such as the Sulawesi giant squirrel (Rubrisciurus rubriventer) and the northern Amazon red squirrel (Sciurus igniventris), nest at middle levels but travel and forage low in the understory or on the ground. The African palm squirrels (genus Epixerus) are long-legged runners that forage only on the ground. Certain species, such as the red-tailed squirrel (S. granatensis) of the American tropics and the African pygmy squirrel, are active from ground to canopy. In the United States, the Eastern fox squirrel (S. niger) runs along the ground from tree to tree, but others, including the Eastern gray squirrel (S. carolinensis), prefer to travel through the treetops and regularly cross rivers by swimming with the head up and tail flat on the water's surface. Thomas's rope squirrel (Funisciurus anerythrus) of Africa even submerges itself and swims underwater.
Most tree squirrels have strong chisel-like incisors and powerful jaws, which are required for gnawing open the hard nuts that, along with fruits, are a primary component of their diet. They also eat seeds, fungi, insects and other arthropods, the cambium layer of tree bark, nectar, leaves, buds, flowers, and sometimes bird eggs, nestlings, and carrion. Some red squirrels (genus Tamiasciurus) and Sciurus species of temperate climates will stalk, kill, and eat other squirrels, mice, and adult birds and rabbits for food, but such predation in tropical tree squirrels seems rare.
Nests are constructed among branches in the forest canopy or at lower levels in tree crowns, vine tangles, tree hollows, or undergrowth near the ground. Some species of tropical tree squirrels produce several litters per year; breeding season in the Northern Hemisphere may extend from December to September and may result in one or two litters that average three to seven young, depending upon the species.
In the New World, tree squirrels range from the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska southward through coniferous and deciduous woodlands in the United States to the tropical rainforests of South America. In Africa, tree squirrels are native to rainforests and some woodland savannas. Their distribution in the remainder of the Old World extends from the northern boreal forests of Europe and Asia to the Indonesian tropical rainforests. East of the Asian continental margin, tree squirrels inhabit the forests of Taiwan, some islands in the Philippines, and Sulawesi, but they do not occur naturally anywhere east of those islands. Most of the species in 20 of the 22 genera are found in tropical rainforests.
Classification and evolutionary history
Tree squirrels belong to the subfamily Sciurinae; it and the subfamily Pteromyinae (flying squirrels) constitute the family Sciuridae of the order Rodentia. Fossils record the evolutionary history of tree squirrels back to the Late Eocene Epoch (41.3 million to 33.7 million years ago) in North America and the Miocene Epoch (23.8 million to 5.3 million years ago) in Africa and Eurasia.

We can't say all that much about Merck & Co. v. Ratliff, ___ S.W.3d ___, 2012 WL 413522 (Ky. App. Feb. 10, 2012), because of our involvement in the Vioxx litigation, but we'd be remiss not to point out that the Kentucky appellate court joined the vast majority of other jurisdictions in rejecting "fraud on the market" outside of the securities area while reversing (overcoming a tough abuse of discretion standard) class certification in Ratliff. Id. at *7. No fraud on the market theory was appropriate for: (1) consumer fraud, (2) regular fraud, (3) negligent misrepresentation, and (4) unjust enrichment.
Three other points of interest about Ratliff: First the court recognized that "class certification is typically not granted in prescription drug cases because of the individualized inquiries such litigation typically involves." Id. at *6 n.6. Our class action cheat sheets – state and federal – underscore the accuracy of this point. Second, the court recognized the similarities between fraud on the market and agency fraud theories such as fraud on the FDA. Id. at *7. Third, the court held that the "inequitable conduct" element of unjust enrichment would require an individualized determination of medical risk and benefit for every user of the drug. Id.

As a 1hbh player - can I use 2hbh for ROS?

As I see it, the two-handed return can be a very useful addition to the toolbox of any player who generally hits a one-handed backhand.
I rebuilt my ground game several years ago, including a one-handed backhand, but couldn't return hotter serves with anything more than a blocked slice. Against a slower serve, I usually have time to quickly set and fire a one-hander just fine, but the two-hander made perfect sense for producing an aggressive return as opponent's serves got faster. At least for me, it was a case of "why didn't I think of this sooner".
My one-hander is clearly my superior style of backhand, but it takes that extra tiny fraction of a second to set up and swing. I still block many returns of serve on my backhand wing, but some practice with the two-hander gave me the stronger option I had needed for a while. I also like the two-hander when I need to fight off a fast ball that gets in deep near my feet.
Since I also have a very reliable slice, I've been surprised that I haven't gotten too mixed up with all the backhand options to choose from out there. My one-hander is my default stroke though, and if I have to hit a different style of backhand, I usually know it right away. Get confident with every option and you ought to be able to use whatever you need from one shot to the next.

Since you are in your first ship and just starting out... a little advice:
Use broadsides! I see newbie ships all the time go blasting away with their fore weapons only, trying to constantly keep the enemy to the front. Fly in a lazy circle (i.e. half speed) and blast away with your phasers. When you want to use your torpedo, turn inwards just enough that the button lights up and you can fire.. then go back to circling.
If you can't keep your shields up, reinfoce them. You can do this by clicking on the shield that is going down. If this still isn't enough, rotate around so you are circling the other direction.
If your mission was truly bugged... drop it, get it again and retry.
And you cannot scan, beam or otherwise while you are being shot.
