'Danduas' go around performing 'penance' in rural, urban areas for 21 days
BERHAMPUR: Danda Nata, the festival of hard penance has started in Ganjam and Kandhamal districts of south Orissa. Hundreds of troupesof 'Danduas' are now moving around urban and rural areas of these districts. They are dressed in orange or yellow dhotis. They hold red flags in hand and walk with the sound of drums.
The Danda Nata troupes perform their rituals on the roads during the day. At the very spot makeshift stages are erected for theatre shows during night. Households and bazaar committees invite these Danda Nata troupes to perform Danda Nata in their area as worship to the mother goddess.
As peace has started to come back in Kandhamal district the administration has allowed procession and festivities related to Danda Nata in the area. But the police and administration have ordered the organisers to refrain from resorting to any activity during Danda Nata, which may hurt the sentiments of minority community living in the area.
The Danda Nata festivities are to continue till April 14. Usually the Danduas take up hard penance during Chaitra to please the mother goddess for some material or mental wish.
Some times even small children can be seen taking part in this hard process. The period of Danda Nata starts 21 days before the Mahabishuv Sankranti. The Danduas get collected under a leader who is called Pata Bhokta. They have only a single meal a day, that too at midnight. The meal comprises only rice and dal.
During the whole day they perform hard rituals as part of the penance under the Pata bhokta. Under the scorching sun they perform Dhuli Danda, which includes symbolic building of temples, digging ponds, agricultural works etc. After that they have to perform rituals standing in the waters of a pond for hours together, which are called Pani Danda.
At night they dance with fire in their hand, which is called Agni Danda. Households and localities invite these Danda Nata troupes to perform Danda Nata in their area as worship to the mother goddess.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Brief HistoryKraggoom is first known on Earth in the 1500s. He was first encountered in the UK, in England. Kraggoom attempted to possess a human being but was captured by law-abiding members of his race. He was banished into outer space for all eternity. Drifting aimlessly, Kraggoom was forced to wait many Earth-centuries until an astronaut unsuspectingly passed by.Unknown to the marauding alien, the astronaut he preyed upon was eccentric millionaire Derek Wolfington. The egotistical Wolfington had cheated on the entrance exams to enter the NASA space program. The smoke-like Kraggoom forced his way inside Wolfington's pressurised capsule and then entered Wolfington's mind.Wolfington's panic caused him to have hysterical amnesia and his mind shut down. This caused Kraggoom in turn to black out. Robbed of its willpower and sentience, Kraggoom faded from corporeal existence. Due to Wolfington's amnesia no one knew of what had occurred.

US federal mediators to join NHL labor talks
Updated: November 27, 2012, 12:49 AM ETAssociated Press
WASHINGTON -- Federal mediators are entering the stalled NHL labor talks, with the season's first 21/2 months already lost because of the lockout.
George Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, said Monday the parties had agreed to use the agency. He assigned three mediators to assist negotiations -- deputy director Scot Beckenbaugh, director of mediation services John Sweeney and Commissioner Guy Serota -- who was removed later in the day because of a Twitter ...

No more Mr. Nice Guy
TV5 scored a casting coup when it got popular young American singer David Archuleta to star in the local teleserye, "Nandito Ako," along with Jasmine Curtis and Eula Caballero. We had hoped that the relatively untested singer-actor would surprise viewers with a fresh, vital and felt portrayal, and affirm his evolving versatility as an all-around talent. Alas, that exciting epiphany hasn't happened.
In recent telecasts of the new drama series, Archuleta has come across as well-meaning, sincere, eager to please, sometimes sort of cute, even frisky. But as an actor, he just can't get his act together.
Actors are supposed to understand and embody the character they have been assigned to play, and to infuse the role with insights related to motivation, backstory, driving needs, emotional agenda and relationships with other characters, etc.
From Archuleta's portrayal thus far however, we get very few such insights and "texture," aside from his character being basically a nice Fil-Am guy who is trying to do a good job as an entertainer while reconnecting with his Filipino roots here, despite being stifled by his manager.
In fact, Jasmine's character has a more dynamic and contentious backstory, relative to her "poor" origins and her urgent need to improve her and her loved ones' financial status. It is also hinted that there may be more to her relationship with her wealthy best friend, played by Eula, than meets the eye.
All these intimations make for a more interesting character than the bland "nice guy" David has been assigned to play. It may be too late to hope that he develop more color and strength of character in the last few days (the series winds up this week). A pity, because he is the star of this show, not his leading ladies.
Main attraction
The series has done well by showcasing the young actor's singing talent, but it was his emergence as a first-time thespian that was to be the main attraction. His mentors should have helped him more in this regard; now they may be faulted for turning a golden opportunity into dross.
As for Jasmine, her "feisty" role has given her the opportunity not to be so boringly nice as she was in an earlier TV outing of hers that we caught some months ago, and that is all to the good. But her palaban projection should be balanced by a kind of bruised vulnerability that is not yet evident, in her performance. She has much more to do in this regard.
As for Eula, she is limited by her "rich girl" stereotype, so she should have added more color, texture, and unexpected "contradictions" to her portrayal to make it more dynamic and empathetic.
But the bulk of the work was in David's purview. He had the toughest challenge here – to go from good singer to even better actor. Viewers may now be wondering what he did all that for. The talent fee he has reportedly received may be impressive, but he was supposed to prove that he was worth it. So, next time, no more Mr. Nice Guy, please?

Originally written on Feelin' Kinda Blue | Last updated 11/15/14
On this episode of "Dugout Blues," Jared Massey (Dodger Diamond) and I look at Dodger spring training up to this point. Clayton Kershaw is off to a slow start in Spring Training. Is it something to be concerned about? Yasiel Puig is the talk of camp and fans are clamoring for his inclusion on the 25-man roster. It isn't going to happen, even if Carl Crawford begins the season on the disabled list. Aaron Harang is drawing the interest of a couple teams. Will the Dodgers trade him? Jared talks about his new domain name and the beginning of his Top 20 prospect write-ups. First up are Julio Urias and Garrett Gould. And we close with listener questions a listener question. Of this trio, who breaks camp with the team? Brain Barden, Alex Castellanos or Jeremy Moore. The answer might surprise you (it won't).

Ortlieb Rain Hat
What to say... It does just what it says really. It's fantastic in a downpour. It acts like an umbrella for your head with the water flying off in all directions.
"You should never leave without the Ortlieb Rain Hat. It is suitable for collecting water or protecting your head. The waterproof light weight hat can be easily stowed away in a jacket pocket. It features a broad rim and an adjustable cord with cord lock. One size fits all (size 60)." So say Ortlieb anyway.
We like Like Ortlieb stuff. It's practical, tough and of course waterproof.
What to say… It does just what it says really. It's fantastic in a downpour. It acts like an umbrella for your head with the water flying off in all directions. And helping to make your watery experience easier, it's a fun thing to wear as well (especially if you're rocking a massive beard, obviously).
Overall: Waterproof. Yellow. Cool? If you're off to Fort William for the Worlds next year this should be in your rucksack (alongside the midge repellent).

By Craig Hardie - This past Tuesday US Light-Heavyweight contender Jameson Bostic went 1-0 in his 'comeback' downunder. The Otara Recreation Centre, South Auckland, New Zealand was the venue for Bostics comeback, whilst a far cry from the likes of Madison Square Garden where Bostic has applied his trade in the past, it was a happy hunting ground. After exactly 13 months of inactivity Bostic stepped between the ropes to face the always game, and durable Mose Ioelu 2-4-0..
Ioelu entered the ring as a late replacement as numerous other fighters pulled out for various reasons, if anything he showed plenty of heart, grit and determination whilst clearly not on the same level as Bostic. For Bostic who weighed in at a career high 194lbs this was his chance to shake the ring rust, and kickstart his return to the ring as he looks to move back down to his true fighting weight of 175lbs. The bout was contested over 4x2min rounds in the belief Ioelu would not be fit enough as a late sub to do the 4x3min originally scheduled, he proved everyone wrong turning up in shape and ready to fight. The fight itself was an entertaining one with Bostic establishing his long and powerful jab early on pumping it into Ioelus face at will, this continued for the first 2 rounds as Bostic looked comfortable in his ring return patiently picking Ioelu off causing him to sweel badly and bleed from the nose. Round 3 saw Bostic look to lift the pace of the fight as he started finding his range with his straight left and rattling Ioelu on a couple of occasions, but once again to Ioelu's credit he hung tough and what he lacked in natural ability he made of for in fighting spirit often swinging wildy at Bostic without ever catching him flush. By round 4 Bostic was back into his groove his jab dominating Ioelu and his hard straight left was now being married with short sharp uppercuts as Ioelu lunged in. Had Bostic been in top shape one feels Ioelu would not have last the distance, as physically he looked like he had done the full 12 rounds after the fight. A solid night out for Bostic and a small step in the right direction as he looks to climb his way to the top!
The man now in his sights is WBO Oriental Light-Heavyweight Champion Walter Papua of Tonga. With Bostic looking to get rated, and Papua looking to defend his title it looks like a logical step for both. This writer can confirm Bostic's team are ready and willing to square off against Papua the sooner the better, with Bostic asking "Are you ready to die for your belt Walter............Im ready to die to take your belt lets get it on." Bostic has two more fights scheduled on his trip downunder he'll be looking to imporve upon his efforts at the Otara Recreation Centre with one eye firmly on Papua and the WBO Oriental strap, the other is looking slightly further ahead "I'm gunning for Zsolt Erdei or whatever his name is, Im gonna knock him out and take his WBO World Title."
Interesting time slay ahead for Bostic and team.

Travel in Namibia without your own car involves a lot of waiting around
The World Cup - my ultimate travel goal in Africa - has been and gone. My clothes are torn with an uncountable number of holes in them. My tempestuously tempered tent has holes in it. Even my beleaguered, long suffering (but far more faithful) flip flops have holes in them, making walking a hazardous occupation (though they've barely seen any action in South Africa - Cape Town's cold climes are hardly conducive to the doning of such flimsy footwear). I am exhausted after many months stuttering down this continent. I am in dire need of regular sleep, regular meals, just regularity full stop. A flight home really should be the next step.
The ridonculously obvious remedy for such tortuous woes is, of course, Namibia. There's a bus from Cape Town to Keetmanshoop? Oh, go on then, you've twisted my larm. After initial plans to take a car fall through I still team up with two travellers I've met in Cape Town, C (a Canadian) and K (a Hong Kong Chinese), both a few years older than me and both just touched down in Africa for the World Cup.
It feels fantastic to be moving again. Despite waves of nostalgia
Sophisticaated law enforcement
for Cape Town I soon get that sublime rush from heading into the unknown; the tingle that motivates us to travel. Even the hypnotically barren and relentless wilderness of the Northern Cape cannot deter my enthusiasm for being on the road once more. Arriving at the border late in the evening we breeze through the South African side only to be confronted by a power cut at Namibian immigration - welcome back to Africa! It takes a long time for them to process everyone on our bus as the lights go on and off more times than a disco strobe. Consequently we rock up at Keetmans late, around 1:30am. With no desire to hunt for accomodation in the cold and blustery night we hunker down in the surprisingly well equiped petrol station where we are deposited by Intercape. They even have a large flat screen tv on which we get to enjoy/suffer five hours of South African Idols. Yawn.
As the sun breaches the horizon we hike the 4km into town, stopping at the turning to Luderitz. Unfortunately, having watched plenty of traffic go by from a distance, the flow of cars dries up dramatically to coincide with our
appearance at the junction. We wait for a while, watching the hilarious spectacle of a Chinese foreman trying to direct a bunch of Namibian labourers on a nearby construction site. It is a classic contrast in work ethics. The Chinese man runs about lambasting his charges, and physcially encouraging them to work by doing things himself, though his frequent howlings in Mandarin probably don't make it easy for them. As soon as he charges over to another part of the site they down tools and proceed to lounge about. It's not even 9am but already they can't be bothered with the rest of the day's work. Spotting him about to return they return to a half-hearted pretence at being industrious, digging randomly with spades or wheelbarrowing rocks about to nowhere in particular. C and I are almost doubled up with laughter.
Hitching turns out to be rather a futile endeavour with three people and their ample luggage so we relocate to another petrol station where we are told minibuses stop. It's well over five hours after our arrival before we finally get going post-lunch. An agonising three of these are spent waiting for the minibus to fill up. During
Disused dock
this time we set off and return five times to the same garage with no discernible purpose except to procure a trailer. The driver shows no interest in picking up more people, maybe he's just as bored as us. In our rounds I get to observe just how wide and dusty the streets are. The houses are spaced out with plenty of grassless garden room fenced off. The place is frighteningly empty apart from two rambling children and one lady who I spot galloping about on a horse. Namibia has a population of just over two million in an area of 825,000 square kilometres, which is one of (I think the second) lowest population densities on the continent. It shows.
Back at the gas station I watch as one guy cleans his ear with a screwdriver cuetip and the obligatory gaggle of guys, who are floating aimlessly about, wolf-wistle a bunch of (questionably) teenage girls, which is rather disgusting. Unsurprisingly they are shown the finger. I also become aware of the fondness of the locals for hats. I would consider myself a tolerant person, but a real pet peeve I harbour is people who wear hats for any other
purpose than protection from the sun or warmth in winter. With the exception of the top hat, which is eternally cool, I cannot stand the pretentious posturing of unecessary headgear for the sake of fashion alone. Yet, somewhat hypocritically, I am fascinated by the variety of hats displayed by Namibians. Women almost always prefer the colour and frillyness of flowery shawls, while men go way beyond the usual baseball caps and angling hats I've routinely seen on my travels. Trilbies and especially wide brimmed cowboy hats are in vogue and already I've seen a few men with the flat woolen caps your grandfather is no doubt overly fond of.
Crusing along the 300+km to Luderitz allows us to appreciate the overwhelming, inhospitable beauty of the Namib Desert, with its seemingly limitless sea of sand and looming rocky outcrops. The road shimmers with the pounding heat of the sun and I marvel at the survival skills of a Gemsbok and Desert Fox which I spot. There are frequent signs indicating the remaining distance, probably to reassure drivers that they are actually making progress (otherwise how the hell would they know!) and to stop them nodding off. The last town before
Luderitz is Aus. From here there is a now defunct railway leading to Luderitz - I always find railway lines which have been overpowered by nature a fascinating sight. One hundred years ago the German colonisers constructed the 120km line in just ten months. An impressive achivement in such an environment! Especially considering that the current Namibian regime has undertaken to repair and re-lay it. They began in 2003 and the earliest estimate for completion is 2013, a minimum of ten years!
I like Luderitz with it's German flavoured, funky architecture. It's very much a white ghetto, with a significant Afrikaner population for such a small settlement (despite people's claims of a significant German impact on Namibia, from my experience this is limited to the buildings, Afrikaner culture is far more dominant). We camp at the only cheap hostel for a couple of nights before moving to a Peace Corp volunteer's house via the medium of couchsurfing, which is something I intend to pursue furiously in the future!
On our third day we manage a side trip to the diamond boom ghost town of Kolmanskop. With no transport of our own we are obliged to hitch. We don't
Worn out warning
have our big packs with us now but still people refuse to pick us up, despite the gaping emptyness of many a 4x4's back seat. It doesn't escape my notice that almost all the traffic is white people (many of whom look like tourists). Clearly when researching their holidays they've read too many apocalyptic warnings about the dangers of picking up hitchers here and in South Africa. I can't deny that I'm a mean looking motherf**ker and K has terrible tendencies to randomly kung fu the crap out of people, but their refusal to even acknowledge us is a little galling.
Fortunately we are picked up by someone working at Kolmanskop just in time to make the 9:30am tour, where we are joined my many of the people who so callously sped past us. It is short and well presented with plenty of interesting facts. I'll rattle off a few. Although it only lasted 51 years, in its hayday Kolmanskop boasted a bowling alley, Olympic standard swimming pool, casino and hospital which could hold 250 patients for a town that never exceeded 500 inhabitants. The hospital, now one of the most sandswept and eery buildings, even contained the first
Aesthetic architecture
x-ray machine in southern Africa: to stop people smuggling out diamonds in their stomachs. At it's peak, between 1908 and 1914, 20% of the world's diamond supply was processed in Kolmanskop, a mere 5million carats worth! The inhabitants would literally crawl along the sand on their stomachs and make a fortune in a single day.
We shuffle about the dunes now lapping over the abandoned settlement, enjoying the brooding atmosphere of the place, which surprisingly isn't too spoilt by the ample number of visitors or some activity at the tiny domestic airpot in the distance. After three hours we decide to submit to the sun and look for a lift out. Nobody seems to have come for the 11am tour because all but two cars have vanished. Both have space, neither offer any sympathy. A couple more show up too late to make the 1pm closing time and after glaring at us promptly turn around and drive off, kicking up a storm of dust. Kindly, a different member of staff takes pity on us and we make it back to Luderitz for a late lunch.
In all, we spend six relaxed nights in the town, mostly playing volleyball
with some local guys and wandering about the windy streets marvelling at the architectural aesthetics of the place. It is an excellent start to our time in Namibia.

The Road to Nowhere!
I am a fellow traveler like yourself, keeping a blog on this website too (tracy-and-patrick, if your interested, though i won´t be offended if your not, most of my family don´t look so I don´t see why you should), though not through Africa, just every other damn continent is seems. I read this and the previous blog on South Africa (which I will get too in November) and thought they were hysterical whilst remaining informative. Your hospital picture reminds me of Port Arthur´s prison hospital in Tazmania. Anyway I just wanted to say I enjoyed your blog. Cheers Patrick

Sharing through-hulls and pumps
My 50' custom sloop has lots of bells and whistles some of which that I wouldn't have selected in bought new, but do want to maintain. For example, three AC units, water cooled refrigerator, and watermaker. In sum, there are 13 through hulls below the water line, and 11 at the water line.
Partly stemming from a sea strainer that needs repair, I'm wondering if I can merge the function of two or more of them. I searched the archives for through hull sharing, but what I found is related to the engine through hull.
For example, the watermaker and the AC each require a strainer and a pump. I'm thinking of using a single strainer with two pumps, but I'm worried about the watermaker pump pulling air back through the AC unit discharge line, that's above water. I could install a check valve in each, but that adds a level of complexity that could present future problems. Does anyone have experience in this kind of arrangment?
At some level, this is no different in concept from a small sea-chest. Do sea chests have a way of preventing back suction?

Take a peek into any Pike classroom, and delight in the creativity of lessons, intensity of discussions, depth of thought, interconnection of ideas, level of energy, and excitement of learning. Welcome to a day in the life of The Pike Lower School.
As part of their study of bears, a multidisciplinary unit in which they learn about the physical features, habitats, and behaviors of several types of bears throughout the world, Kindergarteners have a day when each student brings to school his or her favorite teddy bear. The children play games that make use of their knowledge of the bears they have studied; line up all the bears in size order; and tell the group about their special bear, an activity joined by their teachers and even Mr. Waters, the Head of School. Each child also suggests a special feature about his or her bear (Best Dressed Bear, Pinkest Bear, Biggest Bear, etc.) and receives a custom-made award for the bear, which recognizes that superlative characteristic.
The bears are left in the classrooms overnight for a "sleepover," but when the children arrive at school the next morning, they are amazed and enchanted by the sight that greets them. The bears have been having quite a time; some have climbed up onto the rafters, others are using the computers, and still others have been playing chess, having snacks, holding meetings, writing notes, reading books, playing games, and generally living it up. The scene is magical, and the children's delight is contagious and unabashed.

|The effects of animated agents with verbal audio on mathematics comprehension and attitudes towards mathematics and computers
|Lodree, Anika W., 1974-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This doctoral study investigated the effect of animated agents with verbal audio in WBI on mathematics achievement and attitudes toward mathematics and computers using a pretest-posttest control group design model among eighty-one college students who enrolled in Pre-Calculus courses a at doctoral/research-extensive university. It verified quantitatively that the presence of animated agents with verbal audio in WBI can improve students' mathematics achievement and attitudes toward mathematics, but not their attitudes toward computers. In particularly, students in the experimental group practice effect improved, but not their application effect. In addition, this study verified that there exist a positive association between a student's attitude toward mathematics and his attitude towards computers and vice versa, and there exist a positive association between a student's satisfaction with WBI and her attitudes toward mathematics. Designers and developers of WBI can use these findings to better design, develop, and implement a web-based tutorial that promotes positive attitudes toward learning and long-term mathematics achievement in the postsecondary mathematics arena.

An associate marketing manager develops marketing initiatives and works on existing proposals generated by a company's marketing department. These professionals compile ideas generated by the marketing department, determining which are feasible and how they could be executed. This includes forecasting costs, developing the steps needed to execute campaigns, and implementing changes approved by their supervisors. The associate marketing manager must work within their department's budget for all activities.Read More...
The associate manager also helps to assess the effectiveness of existing marketing campaigns, and they determine ways to increase their efficacy. The manager may be required to suggest the termination of existing campaigns. While not specifically a marketing analyst, the associate manager may work with a market research department data to help determine the future of existing projects. In all of their work, the associate marketing manager generates reports and status updates for marketing department supervisors and management. The associate marketing manager may also perform supervisory duties, especially when the marketing manager is out of the office or unavailable.
A bachelor's degree in marketing or a related discipline is typically required for this position, as is experience in lower-level marketing positions. The associate marketing manager typically works in an office environment during regular business hours and is supervised by a marketing department head or manager.
Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, skills in Product Marketing, Strategic Marketing, Marketing Management, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Event Management, Online Marketing, and Social Media Marketing. A tool kit that includes Strategic Marketing also typically contains Project Management. Those educated in Marketing Management tend to be well versed in Marketing Communications and Project Management.
Associate Marketing Managers will find that Minneapolis offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 31 percent. Associate Marketing Managers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Los Angeles (+21 percent), San Francisco (+11 percent), Atlanta (+9 percent), and Chicago (+7 percent). One of the biggest compensable factors for Associate Marketing Managers is geography, with workers in Dayton earning a whopping 28 percent below the national average. Not at the bottom but still paying below the median are employers in Cleveland and Seattle (27 percent lower and 13 percent lower, respectively).

MAC Euristocrats II Collection – Review
OVERALL, MAC's Euristocrats II Collection offers a good combination of lipsticks and dazzleglasses. Some of the dazzleglasses have better pigmentation than previous dazzleglasses, and when pigmentation is still low, I noticed the sheerer ones had a pseudo duochrome to them. I was actually a bit surprised that some of the lipsticks ended up being so sheer, but for the color shy, you'll definitely want to check out these new lipsticks! Particularly Cockney, which is likely to be a wearable red for those a bit wary of red lipsticks like Russian Red.
Temptalia Recommendations
Must-Haves: Cockney, Costa Chic, Milan Mode lipsticks; Euro Beat, Rue d'Rouge, Via Veneto dazzleglasses
Nice-to-Haves: London Life, Saint Germain lipsticks; Internationalist dazzleglass
Skip: Patisserie lipsticks; Roman Holiday dazzleglass

GENEVA -- Mercedes-Benz model names look like alphabet soup with their one-, two-, and three-letter combinations, but things are about to get a little simpler as the CL-class goes away. In its place will be the S-class Coupe, a new two-door version of the S-class sedan.
Mercedes-Benz released a new generation of its S-class sedan last year, which showed enough technological innovation to win CNET's Tech Car of the Year award. This new coupe will offer all the technology, luxury, and power of the S-class sedan, but with a sleek two-door body.
The S-class Coupe, which will be sold in the US in just one type, the S550 Coupe with 4Matic all-wheel-drive, uses a new toolbox of styling elements that Mercedes-Benz has begun to use on other coupe models. A pincushion grille with a single louver has previously found its way to the compact CLA250. Likewise, the S550 Coupe carries a hood badge rather than a standing ornament, something Mercedes-Benz has reserved for its sportier models.
Most importantly, the two-door design allows for a roofline that merges fluidly into the rear fenders. The seductive design should help lure potential buyers from the staid but more practical sedan. A panoramic glass roof comes standard on the S550 Coupe, and buyers can option up to Mercedes-Benz Magic Sky Control system, which changes the translucency of the glass.
As with the S-Class sedan, LEDs make up all the lighting, even in the headlamps. But Mercedes-Benz takes things into the luxury stratosphere by offering a special edition, called the Edition 1 S550 Coupe, with 47 Swarovski crystals making up the turn indicators and daytime running lights in each headlight casing.
Rather than just being a two-door version of the S-class, the Coupe version shows substantial differences, with a wheelbase shortened by 8 inches. The overall length comes in 10 inches shorter than the sedan, which might shave a golf bag's worth of space out of the trunk.
One innovative technology Mercedes-Benz developed for the coupe, but not currently available on the S-class sedan, is called Active Curve Tilting. This feature uses a lateral tilt sensor and cameras analyzing the road ahead to push the car's outermost side upwards in turns, making the car bank even on nonbanked turns.
Oddly, Mercedes-Benz notes that this feature is not intended to improve cornering performance, but to give passengers a more comfortable ride. In turns, Active Curve Tilting will make inertial forces push passengers into their seats rather than to the outer side of the car.
As with the sedan, the S550 Coupe will get Mercedes-Benz's rich COMAND interface for cabin electronics functions. The system uses a wide LCD in the dashboard with a console controller incorporating a dial and trackpad. Maps for the navigation system show lush detail, but the overall menu paradigm is in need of a usability update.
The S550 Coupe should also be one of the first Mercedes-Benz models to get Apple CarPlay, a technology that presents a simplified interface from a connected iPhone on the car's LCD.
The S550 designation means the Coupe will have the same engine as the sedan, a direct injection 4.7-liter V-8 with twin turbos, good for 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Through a seven-speed automatic transmission in the S550 sedan, this engine delivers easy power and comes with an idle-stop system that saves significant fuel in city driving while working unobtrusively.
With monthly US sales in the double digits, the CL-class is not a big seller for Mercedes-Benz. The S-class sedan, however, averages closer to 1,000 sales per month. Tying the new Coupe to the S-class will encourage cross-shopping, potentially raising its sales and visibility.
Pricing has not been announced for the S550 Coupe, but it should come in around $100,000, making it a sleek and very technically advanced car for the wealthy. The S550 Coupe will first appear as a 2015 model in dealer showrooms this fall.

"Southern Charm" Monteagle by modsquads
Monteagle Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 17 photos
Moteagle Assembly is a community of summer homes on a mountain southeast of Nashville. It is a religious community, dating back to the mid 1800's, where Nasville society would spend the hot summers. It still thrives today, though by the end of August it is empty, since school is back in session.
Nothing is more Southern than a swing on a screened porch. The home we stayed in was built in 1885, and every inch was authentic, down to the creaky, uneven wood floors. Most homes in the Assembly are rentable by their owners, and many are handed down through generations. Each home is truly uniue and charming

Pediatric glaucoma surgery is challenging because of the differences in anatomy from the adult, differences in the behavior of the tissues of a child's glaucomatous eye, the variety in causes of the disease, and difficulties with postoperative management. Goniotomy and trabeculotomy are the preferred initial treatments for primary congenital glaucoma. Trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C is more likely to succeed in older, phakic patients, but carries the long-term risk of bleb-associated endophthalmitis. Glaucoma drainage devices may be preferred in younger children and in patients with aphakic glaucoma, but these devices can cause tube-related complications. Lastly, cyclodestructive procedures are reserved for patients in whom filtering surgery has failed, given its more unpredictable effects and serious complications.

Pope Francis offers Purgatory deal for Twitter followers
Looking for a shortcut to salvation? The pope has an offer too good to resist.
Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Photo: Twitter
Oh that pesky Purgatory, if only there were a way to shorten one's stay. But wait, there is!
The Sacred Apostolic Penitentiary, the Vatican court that rules on the forgiveness of sins, has an offer. If you can't make it to Rio de Janeiro for World Youth Day with Pope Francis this month, indulgences (remissions for temporary punishment) may be given to those who follow the event on television, radio and through social media.
The Penitentiary noted that following Pope Francis' Twitter account would qualify one for the deal.
But like most marketing promotions, the deal doesn't come without small print: to get your free indulgences by social media, believers must first confess their sins, offer prayers and attend Mass.
