It was a bit of a pain to string because I had to make sure my clamps and the tensioner did not crush the string (Gamma Progression II). The string oriented itself on the flat side making it, effectively, the thickest string I have ever used. I have been hitting with it on and off for about a week now and will post my full review in the near future. So far, I am not very impressed. . . . . . . . . . .

I didn't understand the fettuccine comment until I strung it. I didn't have any issues with clamps or anything. I think the way it's shaped though is the reason that it moves so much. It's actually tougher to straighten the strings when comparing to regular round strings while I'm playing.
I'll save my other comments for my review in a couple of weeks. I've actually enjoyed the playtest so far, way better than the Solinco playtest.

Tension used for playtest: 50lb constant pull
Regular string set up: Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 @ 48lb
Racquet brand and model used for test: Babolat Pure Storm Tour
Power of test string: Moderate power, compared to other polys.
Feel: Feel was disappointing. The stringbed didn't provide much feedback as to where and how I hit the ball. I could hit touch shots, but they felt awkward and I was never quite confident where they were going.
Spin: Spin was ok, but not exceptional. That was a disappointment given the initial slippery feel I noticed when I strung it.
Comfort: Comfort was good. Very little shock.
Durability: Adequate, sort of. It played well in spite of disappointing tension loss.
Playability Duration: The playability dropped off very early. I was able to hit good shots, but the stringbed felt sloppy and imprecise.
Control: I wasn't impressed with the control. I had to use heavy spin to keep balls in the court.
Compare to the string you use most often: My normal string would be a lot harder to confuse with pasta, for one. BHB7 keeps its tension a lot more predictably and offers much better feel.
Tension recommendations: No idea. Tension maintenance was my biggest disappointment with this string, and I wouldn't be interested in experimenting to try and find the right initial tension to let it eventually settle into something playable.
Summary: I didn't find much impressive about this prototype. It was awkward to string because of the extreme difference in width depending on orientation, and it lost enough tension sitting in the racquet that I never felt it was really working well. Beyond that, after a few hours of hitting, the mains stopped sliding on the crosses, which alone is enough reason for me to avoid this string (both for the loss of spin potential and disheveled appearance).
All the same, thanks for the playtest TW!

Tension used for playtest: 58
Regular string set up: no hybrid
Racquet brand and model used for test: Head Youtek Ig Prestige Pro
Power of test string: 1/10- This string has no power!
Feel:5/10- I don't really like the feel either. It has an awful drawback when I hit the center of the string.
Spin- 7/10- This string has plenty of spin. Since, I am semi-western player, this wasn't any of a problem.
Comfort: 6/10
Playability Duration: The duration changed in the 3rd day of the play test. The strings started moving everywhere! As a poly and natural gut user, I won't be doing any more future play test.
Control: I am not a synthetic user, so I can't really answer this question.
Compare to the string you use most often
Tension recommendations: I recommended tension 60+. I had it on 56 and the strings weren't as tight. I lost a lot of control on the ball.
Therefore, I won't be play testing any more strings for TW.
Likes- Easy to string
controlled spin
Dislike- the gauge is 15!
The power is way too low.

Tension used for playtest: 48 on CP
Regular string set up: L-Tec 5s/3s
Racquet brand and model used for test: Donnay X-Dark Red 94
Power of test string: It was very nice off the ground and on serve. The strings that felt very much like a multi provided some nice pop. I felt like I could go for my ground strokes.
Feel: I was quite surprised at the touch and ball control I able to get from this string. DTL or CC was extremely easy. Though, mishits would produce crazy balls all over the place.
Spin: Virtually nonexistent. Other than normal spin production, there was no extra spin. Even drop shots would not get the bite that other strings can give.
Comfort: Very comfortable coming from a person with a history of shoulder problems.
Durability: Still in tact. Though some very wide notching going on the crosses.
Playability Duration (share thoughts on if/how the playability changed over time): The string got better on the third time hitting (5th hour).
Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?): Easy swings produced terribly underpowered balls that would land short or in the net. When over hitting the ball would go way long.
Compare to the string you use most often: Felt similar to Dunlop Silk
Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension? Why?): Low tension (<50). The lower tension to give a little more string movement and eventual snapback because of the lack of spin.
Summary: List 1 or 2 primary likes and dislikes.
Like 1: Comfortable string, hard strokes didn't jar the arm.
Like 2: Durability. The string notched but didn't break after heavy hitting.
Dislike 1: Lack of spin, the smooth round string didn't produce nearly enough spin.

Is this a square synthetic gut? The strings move so much! When moving them back it sounded like a stiff nylon. Anyone do the peroxide test? If there are different strings our there I'm talking about the square white string.

I'm testing out the Gamma Playtest at 40 CP in my modded YT radical MP
My regular full poly setup is TB 16 at 40 CP
Power=I actually really liked the power of the PT. It was up there regarding power fora poly. It was a little bit less than TB but I didn't really mind a little bit less power.
Feel= I thought the feel was pretty muted. On my mishits, it was a unforgiving feel but it gave me super unpredictable spin though which gave me a few free points. On volleys, the string gave me a good response on my punched volleys.
Spin= Spin was pretty average or a tad above for a poly for me. I was disappointed because I thought the shape would give me a little more spin.
Comfort= I think it is pretty average for a poly. Didn't feel anything the next morning out of the 6 hrs I played with it.
Durability= The string is notching in the sweetspot. The strings are moving a lot which is annoying me though. It makes me feel like I'm playing with a really stiff multi.
Playability Duration= I felt that I had a big tension drop around the 3rd hour. I would give another hour on this setup before the string is going to snap.
Control= I thought the control was pretty good. I can control the ball whether CC or DTL but had some problems with depth at times with the spin. The shape of the string did provide some unpredictable spin that gave me free points here and there.
Compare to the string you use most often
Tension recommendations= I would maybe do a # or 2# tighter so I can try to control the ball more. I think it will be ok since the tension drop around the 3rd hour will make it playable after for another 3 or 4 hrs.
Likes: I really like the directional control and the nice pop I got on this string
Dislikes: I wanted more spin on the ball and the fact that the strings move like a multi.
Thanks again to TW and Gamma for the playtest!

Thank you, TW and Gamma.
Tension used for playtest: 56# on a CP machine
Regular string set up: Discho Iontec Hexa 1.20 @ 54/55# CP
Racquet brand and model used for test: Head Twin Tube Radical Tour OS (18M x 19C)
Power of test string: Average power for a poly.
Feel: Average for a poly. Feel was not great nor was it bad. It just doesnt pocket the ball that well.
Spin: Below average to Average for a poly. The spin this string generates is not wicked, dynamic spin to leaps unpredictably off the court after the bounce. The spin that it produces is pretty average in predictability and didnt trouble my hitting partner at all.
Comfort: Above average comfort for a poly string.
Durability: Durability wont be an issue for me. At 6 hours, the mains have very little notching.
Playability Duration (share thoughts on if/how the playability changed over time): Playablity decreased over time. The same running crosscourt forehand I was consistently hitting in started landing long consistently after about 3-4 hours due to the drop in spin.
Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?): The string performed best when I kept my strokes fluid and smooth driving through the ball. Directional control became an issue when I increased RHS and tried whip through the ball. The control wasnt always there.
Compare to the string you use most often: Compared to Iontec Hexa 1.20, the prototype string doesnt offer the same levels of control, pop or spin.
Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension? Why?: I wouldnt change the tension. The string felt about right at the tension I used.
Summary: List 1 or 2 primary likes and dislikes. I liked that string resisted notching. I didnt like the excessive string movement nor did I like the average spin production. I enjoyed the playtest, but the performance didnt impress me enough that I purchase the string if it is released.

Gamma String Test
Initial impressions: The string itself is an unusual flat shape, flatter than any other sting I have ever seen. Upon cutting off the zip tie that held the string, it did not have excessive coil memory. In the process of uncoiling the string, it did not give me any problems and was easy to uncoil. For a co-poly string it feels fairly supple.
Stringing the Racket: My racket of choice is a Head Liquidmetal Radical MP. The racket is stock, with no modifications other than putting an over grip on the handle. Since early this summer, I have been consistently using a hybrid set-up of Gosen OG sheep micro 17 on the mains and a co-poly (usually Gosen Polyon 17) on the crosses, however, I have frequently used beds of full poly. My hybrid combination gives me exceptional feel and access to plenty of spin. For this string test, I followed the instructions in the first post in this thread and strung it as a full bed. My preferred sting tension for my normal hybrid setup is 53 on the mains and 48 on the crosses, but for this string test, I strung the racket at 50 pounds for both the mains and the crosses.
My stringer is a Gamma Progression II - lock out-style stinging machine with a six-point mounting system. After cleaning and mounting the racket, I set the tension dial at 50 pounds. I quickly noticed that the shape of the string was going to pose some minor stringing challenges. The main issue was that I had to make sure I oriented the thin side of the string in the clamps and the tensioning device so that I did not crush the string. I also noticed that the string width on the wide side made it a little tight pulling the string through the grommet holes. Although neither of these was a big issue, it did add some time to the stringing process. Tying the knots on the mains was not a problem. Making the starting knot for the crosses was a little more difficult than other polys since this string is so flat, but my bulky starting know cinched down nicely when I pulled tension. This string does not have an issue notching during the process of pulling the crosses through the mains. During stringing it did not have any tendency to kink or knot up. When I pulled tension, this string required very little manipulation to prevent it from smiling. At the end of the string process, I noticed that this string orients itself on the flat side, effectively making it the thickest string I have ever put on my Liquidmetal. The process of stringing the crosses was uneventful and the finishing knot was easy to tie. Since I prefer not to stencil my rackets, I cannot give any impressions as to how stencil ink adheres to this string.
Playing Impressions:
Power of test string The power this string is comparable with the other full poly string beds I have used in the past.
Feel The feel of this string is not as good as other full poly set-ups I have used. The test string did not have as good a feel as other co-polys I have used previously and volleying the ball was not as good with this string as compared with other full poly set-ups.
Spin The spin that I got from this string was less than other full poly setups I have used in the past.
Comfort - The comfort that I got from this string set up is on par with the other full poly sting set-ups I have used previously.
Durability I'm not a big string breaker. Durability was fine no problems there.
Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable) After about 8 hours of vigorous hitting, including serving, the bed began to feel dead. When I cut the sting out of my racket, I noticed an average amount of tension loss as compared with other full poly beds I have used.
Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) This setup provided less than average predictability upon ball contact and trajectory was a little lower compared to other co-poly set-ups when using the various strokes during the course of a match.
Compare to the string you use most often All-in-all this string did not impress me compared to other full-poly beds I have used in the past. It had considerably less spin potential which I attribute to the fact that the string orients on the thick side and effectively makes it a very thick string. The feel of the sting was also somewhat numb again which I attribute to the thickness of the wide side of the string.
Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension? Why?) I am satisfied with the tension I used.
Summary: List 1 or 2 primary likes and dislikes Likes: interesting shape of the string. Dislikes tendency provide less feel and less spin than other co-polys that I have used.
Conclusions: Overall, I was less than impressed with this string. Although the fettuccini like shape of the string is an interesting concept, it effectively makes the string bed feel like I was playing with an excessively thick string. I have used several Gamma co-polys in full string beds, including ZoTwist and ZoVerve and was very satisfied with those strings. If I were Gamma, I would consider not bringing this string to the market because it does not provide any substantial advantage or attribute as compared to other co-polys on the market, including their own strings. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this string test and commend Gamma for continuing to try new and different concepts with their strings.

I'm on my 3rd hitting session with this and I am still not convinced that this is made of polyester. This is one of, if not the worst string I've ever used. I think one more session is all I can stand.

Pamela Parker | June 8, 2006 | Comments
Online and mobile media properties gear up for the World Cup, kicking off Friday.
With the 2006 World Cup kick-off only one day away, online media players and their sponsors have unveiled their bids to attract U.S. soccer fans. Online and mobile media are especially important for the World Cup, because most matches will take place during business hours, when most fans will be at work.
One of the most prominent online players is Yahoo, which is an official sponsor of the World Cup and also host of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA)'s official Web site. The U.S.-focused version of the site features the standard fare: news, photo galleries and team descriptions. When the tournament begins, users will be able to access video highlights from the matches themselves.
Many of the World Cup's official sponsors get prominent placement on the site. Footwear sponsor adidas presents a countdown clock to the beginning of the tournament, while Budweiser gets a button highlighting its "Man of the Match" sponsorship. Yahoo, for its part, is linking to World Cup-related content on its new Yahoo Answers property. Small rotating banners link to other official FIFA sponsors.
Content-wise, the most innovative of Yahoo's offerings is its array of mobile services. The company is offering a mobile portal, live mobile commentary on games, and SMS alerts along with phone personalization content like ringtones, wallpapers, games and video content. The mobile capabilities are highlighted prominently on the Web property.
The second-biggest player in the online World Cup game is probably ESPN, which will be airing the tournament on its cable network. On its site, the company is leveraging its roots in television via its ESPN Motion video feature, which currently offers World Cup related commentary and an interview with U.S. coach Bruce Arena. It's also offering a full version of its site in Spanish, presumably to attract a U.S. Hispanic audience.
The network's dedicated World Cup site is anchored by sponsor adidas, which gets "presented by" placement as part of the site banner, which runs on every page. The athletic shoe maker also sponsors team pages for various countries: England, Germany and Mexico.
Fox Soccer Channel, the media property that's made the biggest bet on the growth of the U.S. audience for soccer, has beefed up its online presence, which is hosted by MSN, for the occasion. Its most stand-out feature is a series of blogs on the tournament, all of which are emblazoned prominently with Cingular branding. The site's other most prominent advertisers are Nike and Hyundai, which is sponsoring the U.S. team page.
The New York Times has aggregated its World Cup-related content and is cooperating with sister publication the International Herald Tribune for coverage. Roger Cohen, editor at large of the IHT, will have a blog, as will other writers and columnists; enthusiasts will also be able to post to a fan blog. Matches involving the U.S. team will be covered live via commentators who will incorporate reader reaction. A fourth blog, featuring observations by fans in Angola, Argentina, England, Iran, Japan and Mexico, will be a part of the Times' premium TimesSelect tier.
Despite media properties' efforts, advertisers haven't hesitated to go directly to soccer fans at World Cup events. Nike, with its Joga.com site and JogaTV video effort, is one of the most notable marketers. Coca-Cola is sponsoring a gathering of bloggers to cover the World Cup at weallspeakfootball.com.

We would recommend hiring a boat from Guvercinlik for the day and discover a secluded bay and swim in the crystal clear turquoise waters and enjoy the peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle.
Alternatively, there is a vast array of activities to do and sites to visit in Bodrum. Day trips are also possible to Ephesus, the largest archaeological site in the world and the stunning pools at Pamukkale although to make the most of your visit then an overnight stay might be be a good idea. Also recommended is a trip to the royal rock tombs at Dalyan and the Temple of Apollo at Didim.
The complex has 24 hour security and all cars remain in the car park so that it is safe for children to walk about. Transport within the site, should you need it, is by chauffeur-driven golf carts.

Ruth Guven purchased this apartment in 2006
Our holiday home is a comfortable 2 bedroom apartment with balcony and spectacular views overlooking the Aegean Sea. The complex boasts swimming pools, a jacuzzi, a cafe, a children's playground, a gym, a sauna and a tennis and basketball court and is within walking distance to the beach. The apartment is set within a well-maintained site with security and a help desk for peace of mind.
The site is never too busy or overcrowded - finding a sun lounger is never an issue!
Being situated outside the throng of Bodrum - it is peaceful and cooler than the centre town - the cooling breeze is very welcome in mid summer and the views - especially from our balcony are magnificent.
We will never tire of the view from our balcony and bedroom windows. Eating, drinking, relaxing and watching the sunset from the balcony make for the perfect holiday. The site is quiet, safe, well-maintained and has a help desk run by friendly staff. There is a perimeter fence and 24 hour security personnel at the entrances.
We have been to Bargylia before as a family - as a family we go on lots of holidays (we drive an old car!), to places all over Europe, but generally we only go the once! We had such a wonderful time summer of 2012, however, that we decided to go back to Bargylia for 2.5 weeks in August 2013 and we weren't disappointed! The accomodation was just as it had been before - modern, clean and well equipped, the pool just as warm and clear, the beach just as clean and friendly (this year with the added benefit of having a chap who was freshly steaming mussels on the beach....so good, eaten with freshly squeezed lemon!), in fact all food seemed to be locally sourced, freshly cooked and best of all for a mum with two greedy kids, reasonably priced! The little supermarket was well stocked and the employees, home owners, and guests were all very friendly - our kids resumed friendships made the previous year and my husband I just relaxed all day on the sun loungers (please note that this is the only holiday I've ever been where there are more sun loungers than people!). I really can't recommend this little slice of heaven enough. My family have now had two wonderful holidays there, and guess what.....yep, we've just booked to go back again in August 2014....for 3 weeks this time! We really have tried and tested every facility over the last two years, from the Dolmus to the taxis, from the beach bar to the restaurants, from the air-conditioned gym to the tennis courts, from the quiet beach at the side of the resort to the busy harbour at Bodrum. We are really looking to seeing it all again! Would definitely recommend!!
Hi, we have had several holidays to Ruth's apartment at Regnum Bargylia, and love it so much that we keep going back! The apartment itself is small but perfectly adequate for a family, and it is immaculate, with all mod cons - dishwasher, washing machine etc. The resort itself is great - it's very secure and has amazing facilities - the pool is amazing - the warmest and cleanest pool that I've ever seen on holiday, and there is a shaded play area for the children, as well as a tennis court, basketball court, indoor air-conditioned gym, indoor table tennis room etc. The on site restaurant serves local fresh cuisine and local prices, so eating there is a pleasure. There is also a small supermarket on site and a larger supermarket a short drive away so that you can cook in the apartment yourself if you prefer. Our children have always made friends there, and have a wonderful summer holiday there - everyone is friendly and as the majority of the homes there are owned, the place as more of a family feel than a touristy feel! We are going back this summer again (fourth year in a row!) so very clearly, we would recommend it to anyone looking for an action packed holiday for the kids, but a relaxing time for mum and dad!
Clean and very well maintained apartment with beautiful sea views, would recommend as a fabulous holiday destination.
Very easy to travel from and to Bodrum airport so minimum transfer times and very easy to travel into Bodrum via bus or taxi.
We stayed for two weeks in July / August 2014 and enjoyed fantastic weather. We swam everyday in the sea and swimming pool.
Recommend to visit the markets or try the days trips out or simply take a relaxing break in Bargylia.
Bargyila is located near Guvercinlik and is ideally situated, being only 15 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from Bodrum town centre. Guvercinlik is a fishing village and is about 10 minutes away by car or taxi and here you will find shops, supermarkets, post office, cash machine and an excellent weekly market on a Monday. Many a pleasant afternoon and evening can be spent at the restaurants and cafes by the sea front which are also excellent value and cheaper than Bodrum town.
Other local villages on the coast worth visiting for good restaurants are Bogazici and Gulluk and they are situated between the airport and Guvercinlik and are also about 10 to 25 minutes away.
You can travel around in a 'dolmus' which run more frequently through the summer. These are shared mini-buses and very cheap.
The ruins of the ancient city of Bargilya, Tuzla lake and the Vita Park Golf Resort are just 5 minutes away.
Bodrum Castle, built by the Crusaders overlooks the harbour and the International Karada Marina. The castle grounds include the Museum of Underwater Archaeology and host several cultural festivals throughout the year. In Bodrum you can also visit the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the amphitheatre also hosts musical events.
For water fun then visit the Dedeman Aquapark in Ortakent. Or if you want to go further afield then take a day trip on the ferry to the Greek island of Kos. Or how about going to Yalikavak to see the Windmills?
In Bodrum town there is also a lively nightlife. The old market is open seven days a week for clothes, leather goods, shoes, and souvenirs.

The Charyapada (Bengali: চর্যাপদ, Assamese: চৰ্যাপদ) or Charijagiti (Oriya: ଚରିଜାଗିତି) is a collection of 8th-12th century Vajrayana Buddhist caryagiti, or mystical poems from the tantric tradition in Kalinga.[1] Being caryagiti (songs of realization), the Charyapada were intended to be sung. These songs of realization were spontaneously composed verses that expressed a practitioner's experience of the enlightened state. Miranda Shaw describes how caryagiti were an element of the ritual gathering of practitioners in a tantric feast:
The feast culminates in the performance of tantric dances and music, that must never be disclosed to outsiders. The revelers may also improvise "songs of realization" (caryagiti) to express their heightened clarity and blissful raptures in spontaneous verse.[2]
A manuscript of this anthology was discovered in the early 20th century. It provides the early examples of the Assamese, Oriya, Maithili and Bengali languages. The writers of the Charyapada, the Mahasiddhas or Siddhacharyas, belonged to the various regions of Assam, Bengal, Orissa and Bihar. A Tibetan translation of the Charyapada was also preserved in the Tibetan Buddhist canon. It is the earliest known example of Maithili poetry. According to Bengali scholar Haraprasad Shastri (1853–1931), Charyapada is also the collection of the oldest verses written in pre-Modern Bengali.[3]
The credit of discovering Charyapad goes to Haraprasad Shastri who during his third visit to Nepal discovered about 47 verses in 1907, the body of which came to be called Charyapada, which are essentially Buddhist mystical songs. These were discovered from the Royal library of the Nepalese kings. Haraprasad Shastri first went to Nepal in 1897 for collecting Buddhist folklore. He discovered some folklore written in Sanskrit during his second trip in 1898. He undertook his third trip in 1907 in the hope of some more new folklore. He published his collections in a volume which was published in 1916. Although Haraprasad Shastri discovered as many as 47 poems (in fact 46 and a part of one), hints are there that the number would be 51 in total. These were written on narrow section of palm leaves.
The original palm-leaf manuscript of the Charyapada, or Charyacharyavinishchayah, consisting of an anthology of 47 padas (verses) along with a Sanskrit commentary, was discovered by Haraprasad Shastri at the Nepal Royal Court Library in 1907. This manuscript was edited by Shastri and published by the Bangiya Sahitya Parishad as a part of his Hajar Bacharer Purano Bangala Bhasay Bauddhagan O Doha (The Buddhist Songs and Couplets in a thousand years old Bengali Language) in 1916 under the name of Charyacharyavinishchayah. This manuscript is presently located at the National Archives of Nepal. Later Prabodhchandra Bagchi published a manuscript of a Tibetan translation containing 50 verses.[4]
The Tibetan translation of the Charyapada provided additional information. It names the Sanskrit commentary as the Charyagiti-koshavrtti written by Munidatta. It also mentions that the original text was translated by Shilachari and its commentary by Munidatta was translated by Chandrakirti or Kirtichandra.[5]
The manuscript of the Charyapada discovered by Haraprasad Shastri from Nepal consists 47 padas (verses). The title-page, the colophon-page,the pages 36, 37, 38, 39 and 66 containing the padas (verses) 24, 25 and 48 and their commentaries were missing in this manuscript. The 47 verses of this manuscript were written by 22 Mahasiddha, or Siddhacharyas, whose names are mentioned at the beginning of each pada (except the first Pada). In the Tibetan Buddhist Canon version of the text and its commentary 50 padas are found, which include the padas 24, 25 and 48 and the complete form of the pada 23. Pada 25 was written by the Siddhacharya poet Tantripāda, who work was not found earlier. In his commentary on pada 10, Munidatta mentioned the name of another Siddhacharya poet, Ladidombipāda, but no pada written by him has been discovered so far.
The names of the Siddhacharyas in Sanskrit (or its Tibetan language equivalent) are mentioned prior to each pada. Probably, the Sanskrit names of the Siddhacharya poets were assigned to each pada by the commentator Munidatta. Modern scholars doubt whether these assignments are proper on the basis of the internal evidences and other literary sources. Controversies also exist amongst the scholars as to the original names of the Siddhacharyas.
The poets and their works as mentioned in the text are as follows:
|1, 29
|2, 20, 48
|6, 21, 23, 27, 30, 41, 43, 49
|7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 24, 36, 40, 42, 45
|15, 26
|22, 32, 38, 39
|28, 50
The language of Charyapada is rather symbolic in nature.[3] So in many cases the literal meaning of a word does not make any sense. As a result every poem has a descriptive or narrative surface meaning but also encodes tantric Buddhist teachings. Some experts believe this was to conceal sacred knowledge from the uninitiated, while others hold that it was to avoid religious persecution.
Haraprasad Shastri, who discovered Charyapada, considered that it was written during the 10th century. However, according to Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, Charyapada was composed between 10th and 12th century. Probodh Chandra Bagchi upholds this view. Sukumar Sen while supporting this view maintained that Charyapada could have been written between 11th and 14th century.[6] However, Muhammad Shahidullah was of the opinion that Charyapada dates back to earlier time. He maintained that it was likely to have been composed between 7th and 11th century.[7] Rahul Sankrityayan thought that Charyapada was probably written between 8th and 11th century.
There is controversy about meaning of some words. Different linguists have diverse opinion about the real meaning of certain words.
It has been said that Charyapada was written in early form of Bengali[8] and Oriya.[9]Scholars of other languages claimed that it was written in Nepalese, Gujarati, Hindi, Maithili, and Assamese. Some scholars believe its words are more similar to Bishnupriya Manipuri rather than Bengali. It is claimed that Charyapada is the oldest record of Bishnupriya Manipuri literature.[citation needed]
Haraprasad Shastri in his introduction to the Charyacharya-vinishchaya referred to the enigmatic language of its verses as 'Twilight Language' (Sanskrit: Sandhya-bhasha), or Alo-andhari (half expressed and half concealed) based on the Sanskrit commentary of Munidatta. But later Vidhushekhara Shastri on the basis of evidences from a number of Buddhist texts referred to this language as 'Intentional Language' (Sanskrit: Sandha-bhasha).[10]
The Charyapadas were written by poets from different regions, and it is natural that they would display linguistic affinities from these regions. Different scholars claimed the affinities of the language of Charyapada with Assamese, Bengali, Maithili, and Oriya.[11]
Luipa, also known as Matsyendranath, was from Kamarupa and wrote two charyas. Sarahapa, another poet, is said to have been from Rani, a place close to present-day Guwahati. Some of the affinities with Assamese are:[12]
Negatives -- the negative particle in Assamese comes ahead of the verb: na jãi (No. 2, 15, 20, 29); na jivami (No. 4); na chadaa, na jani, na disaa (No. 6). Charya 15 has 9 such forms.
Present participles -- the suffix -ante is used as in Assamese of the Vaishnava period: jvante (while living, No. 22); sunante (while listening, No. 30) etc.
Incomplete verb forms -- suffixes -i and -iya used in modern and old Assamese respectively: kari (3, 38); cumbi (4); maria (11); laia (28) etc.
Present indefinite verb forms -- -ai: bhanai (1); tarai (5); pivai (6).
Future -- the -iva suffix: haiba (5); kariba (7).
Nominative case ending -- case ending in e: kumbhire khaa, core nila (2).
Instrumental case ending -- case ending -e and -era: uju bate gela (15); kuthare chijaa (45).
The vocabulary of the Charyapadas includes non-tatsama words which are typically Assamese, such as dala (1), thira kari (3, 38), tai (4), uju (15), caka (14) etc.
The beginnings of Oriya poetry coincide with the development of Charya Sahitya, the literature thus started by Mahayana Buddhist poets.[13] This literature was written in a specific metaphor named "Sandhya Bhasha" and the poets like Luipa, Kanhupa are from the territory of Orissa. The language of Charya was considered as Prakrta. In his book (Ascharya Charyachaya) Karunakar Kar has mentioned that Orissa is the origin of Charyapada as the Vajrayana school of Buddhism evolved there and started female worship in Buddhism. Worship of Matri Dakini and the practice of "Kaya sadhana" are the outcome of such new culture. Buddhist scholars like Indrabhuti and Lakshminkara and Padmasambhava were born in Orissa.[14]The ideas and experience of Kaya sadhana and Shaki[disambiguation needed] upasana (worshiping female principle) which were created by Adi siddhas and have poetic expressions are found in the lyrics of Charyapada. These were the first ever found literary documentation of Prakrit and Apabhramsa which are the primitive form of languages of eastern Indian origin. The poets of Charyapada prominently are from this region and their thought and writing style has influenced to the poems in early Oriya literature which is evidently prominent in the 16th century Oriya poetry written majorly in Panchasakha period.[9]
In one of his poem, an author, Kanhupa wrote:
Your hut stands outside the city
Oh, untouchable maid
The bald Brahmin passes sneaking close by
Oh, my maid, I would make you my companion
Kanha is a kapali, a yogi
He is naked and has no disgust
There is a lotus with sixty-four petals
Upon that the maid will climb with this poor self and dance.
The language of Kanhupa's poetry bears a very strong resemblance to modern Oriya. For example :
Ekaso padumo chowshathi pakhudi
Tahin chadhi nachao dombi bapudi
Padumo (Padma:Lotus), Chaushathi (64), Pakhudi (petals) Tahin (there), Chadhi (climb/rise), nachao (to dance), Dombi (an Oriya female belonging to scheduled caste), Bapudi ( a very colloquial Oriya language to apply as 'poor fellow' )
Hali Dombi, Tote puchhami sadbhabe.
Isisi jasi dombi kahari nabe.
These passages do not require any translation into modern Oriya language.[15]
A number of Siddhacharyas who wrote the verses of Charyapada were from Bengal. Shabarpa, Kukkuripa and Bhusukupa were born in different parts of Bengal. Some of the affinities with Bengali can be found from[16] the genitive in -era, -ara; the dative in –re; the locative in –ta; post-positional words like maajha, antara, saanga; past and future bases in –il-, -ib-; present participle in –anta; conjunctive indeclinable in –iaa; conjunctive conditional in –ite; passive in –ia- and substantive roots aach and thaak.
From the mention of the name of the Rāga (melody) for the each Pada at the beginning of it in the manuscript, it seems that these Padas were actually sung. All 50 Padas were set to the tunes of different Rāgas. The most common Rāga for Charyapada songs was Patamanjari.
|1, 6, 7, 9, 11, 17, 20, 29, 31, 33, 36
|Gabadā or Gaudā
|2, 3, 18
|Gurjari, Gunjari or Kanha-Gunjari
|5, 22, 41, 47
|10, 32
|13, 27, 37, 42
|Dhanasi or Dhanashri
|15, 50
|Balāddi or Barādi
|21, 23, 28, 34
|26, 46
|30, 35, 44, 45, 49
|12, 16, 19, 38
While, some of these Rāgas are extinct, the names of some of these Rāgas may be actually the variants of the names of the popular Rāgas as we know them today.[17]
Many poems provide a realistic picture of early medieval society in eastern India by describing different occupations of people such as hunters, boatmen, and potters. The geographical locations,, namely Banga and Kamarupa, are referred to in the poems. Names of the two rivers that occur are the Ganga and Yamuna. River Padma has been referred to as a canal. Two occupations are mentioned. These are weaving, woodcutter and hunting. No reference to agriculture is available. Reference to prostitution by women occurs. The boat was the main mode of transport. Some description of wedding ceremony is also available.[18] It also describes the some popular musical instruments such as kada-nakada, drums, and tom-toms. The custom of dowry was prevalent. Cows were common domestic animals, and elephants were common as well. Girls used to wear peacock feathers, flower garlands, and earrings.
Produced below is English translation of the first verse of Charyapada. It was composed by Buddhist Siddhacharya poet Luipa.
The body is like the finest tree, with five branches.
Darkness enters the restless mind.
Strengthen the quantity of Great Bliss, says Luyi.
Learn from asking the Guru.
Why does one meditate?
Surely one dies of happiness or unhappiness.
Set aside binding and fastening in false hope.
Embrace the wings of the Void.
Luyi says : I have seen this in meditation
Inhalation and exhalation are seated on two stools.
This piece has been rendered into English by Hasna Jasimuddin Moudud.[19]

Product description
Why are some people so quick to recover from a setback while others wallow in despair? Why are some so highly attuned to others that they seem psychic, while others put both feet in it over and over again? Why are some people always up and others always down?In this hotly anticipated audiobook, award-winning, pioneering neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson answers these questions by offering an entirely new model of our emotions their origins, their power, and their malleability.Davidson has discovered that each of us is composed of six basic Emotional Styles: Resilience, Outlook, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Context, and Attention. Our own personal emotional fingerprint results from where on the continuum of each style we fall. He explains the patterns of brain activity that underlie each style in order to give us a new model of the emotional brain, one that will even go so far as to affect the way we treat conditions like autism and depression. And, finally, he provides strategies we can use to determine our own Emotional Style and to change our own brains and emotions if that is what we want to do.Written with bestselling author Sharon Begley, this original and exciting audiobook gives us a new and useful way to look at ourselves, develop a sense of well-being, and live more meaningful lives."

Denard Span and Jayson Werth each had two hits for Washington, which has won the first three games of the four-game set.
Haren (2-3) didn't quite match Jordan Zimmermann's one-hitter and Gio Gonzalez's impressive eight innings of one-hit ball the previous two games, but he was sharp enough. Haren allowed two runs and six hits over six innings, lowering his ERA from 7.36 to 6.29.
Rafael Soriano pitched a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.
Brandon Phillips had three singles and Shin-Soo Choo homered for Cincinnati, which has lost four of five.
NEW YORK (AP) - Domonic Brown and John Mayberry Jr. hit consecutive home runs to break open a close game and the Phillies beat the Mets, sending Jonathan Pettibone to his first major league win.
Ryan Howard knocked in two runs, Jimmy Rollins scored twice and Michael Young had three hits - two that never left the infield - for the second straight day. Pettibone (1-0) pitched his way out of an important jam to help Philadelphia improve to 4-1 against the Mets after losing the season series last year.
Shaun Marcum (0-1) went four innings in his Mets debut after beginning the season on the disabled list with a neck injury and right biceps tendinitis. John Buck hit his eighth homer in the ninth, way too late to prevent New York from dropping to 3-5 on a nine-game homestand with its third straight defeat.
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Russell Martin hit a two-run home run to highlight a four-run seventh inning and the Pirates rallied to beat the Cardinals.
The comeback gave A.J. Burnett (2-2) his second victory over St. Louis in 10 days. He gave up two runs and five hits in six innings. His six strikeouts expanded his team record for month of April to a league-leading 48. Burnett threw seven shutout innings in a 5-0 win over St. Louis on April 17.
St. Louis starter Jake Westbrook left after six innings with a 2-0 lead in search of his 100th career victory. He struck out six and scattered six hits to lower his ERA to 0.98 in four starts.
The Pirates had three consecutive hits against Joe Kelly (0-1) to lead off the seventh and were aided by a hit by pitch and a walk to score four runs.

Should we observe our Lenten fasts on Sunday?
It has finally come again. The Season of Lent, I am speaking of. I always find it a relief. Many folks are surprised to hear me say that. I think of a scene from the vintage 1970s biopic "Brother Sun, Sister Moon." St. Francis has shed his clothing and is making a ruckus in the piazza below the Cathedral. The bishop – depicted as an obese and aloof aristocrat – is about to bite into a turkey leg when one of his clerical aides rushes in and calls for his help to disburse the crowd that has gathered to take in the spectacle. The bishop sets down his turkey leg, sighs and says, "Oh, I just got over Lent!" This is often how the world looks at these six weeks in which we are called to acts of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. For anyone who has ever engaged the season in the spirit of repentance and with a desire to grow in holiness, however, you should hear a different tune.
Is Lent a challenge? To be sure, but it is a challenge to greatness. I am reminded of the passage from St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, "Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one." (Several years ago, the graduating eighth graders at St. James school wanted to offer a parting gift to their school, and they wanted to bring a more Christian atmosphere to the gymnasium. This was their parting gift, emblazoned at the center of the basketball court.) When training for a marathon or a big game, athletes think nothing of self-denial. In fact, they do it joyfully, because they know that whatever they "sacrifice" it will be to their benefit in competition. In one discussion about fasting, I was surprised to hear one man say that when he was growing up, they didn't fast or abstain from meat because his parents "thought it was a stupid rule". On the other hand, he said he would often fast to make weight for his wrestling matches. I write that not to criticize the man who said it, but to point out that the world holds up certain values and will encourage us to do whatever we must to attain to those values. Many in the world will criticize or demean religious people for making similar sacrifices to discipline the will and to be more attuned to the spiritual life. If we view this season as a burden with no positive benefit, then our acts of prayer, fasting and almsgiving are senseless and in vain. On the other hand, if we see this as a time of intense training which engages the body, mind and soul and helps to equip us in our journey to holiness, then we cannot help but be joyful in this time of challenge.
Lent is characterized, in the minds of most people, as the time to "give something up." Of course that is one way of describing the "fasting" component. But to speak merely in terms of "giving up" is to miss the point of the fast. When I fast I am disciplining my appetites – whether for food, drink, pleasure, sex, etc. – but I am also making a sacrifice. I was recently reminded by a wise old priest whom I use as my confessor on a regular basis, that sacrifice is necessarily an act of worship, by which we take that which we hold dear, that which we treasure, and give it to God. We do not give to God that which is less than pleasing to us, just as a lame animal would not be worthy of Sacrificial worship, so our Lenten sacrifice should be nothing less than that which we treasure, and it's absence in our life will cause us some pain, but that void will be filled with the greater good of knowing that our highest treasure is God, and our fasting is a means to draw nearer to – or, rather to be drawn nearer by – Him whom we seek. Further, consider that the term sacrifice is derived from two Latin words: sacra and facere. Sacra is the root of the English cognate "Sacred" which means "Holy" or "set aside for a holy purpose." Facere is a Latin word meaning "to make." Consider that it is the root of the term "factory" a place where "things" are made. Put together, sacrafacere or "sacrifice" should also be understood as a means of "making Holy" or, in the case of sacrifices we offer to God, a means by which we allow God to fashion us in holiness.
When considering what one may do as a sacrifice for Lent, it is possible to "fast" from any number of things, including food, media, entertainment, alcohol, etc. Of course fasting is but one of the three components of Lent, the other two being prayer and almsgiving. Prayer may take many forms both public, private, devotional and liturgical. Almsgiving likewise may take any number of forms of "giving" specifically to alleviate the plight of the poor. One may unite his fasting with his almsgiving by taking that which he might have spent on forsaken food, entertainment, etc. and giving that to the poor as an alms. Another form of almsgiving may take the form or visiting the home-bound or hospitalized, or giving one's time in service to the poor – perhaps directly, for example by working in a shelter or soup kitchen, or indirectly, by sorting clothes in a charity thrift shop, or some other such work.
One question I have often encountered is the one which I have chosen as the title for this reflection, "Do Sunday's count?" The implication is that Sunday, being a "little Easter" might be a day to relax one's penance (i.e. "fasting") and celebrate the resurrection. Some people will even point out that if we were to count up the days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, we would come up with the number 46 – remove the
6 Sundays of Lent and you are left with the proverbial "Forty Days" (in Latin this season is officially called Quadragesima which means "Forty Days"). This may be a legitimate interpretation, but it seems to me to be based a bit too much on legalistic numerology! I have often seen the term "Forty Days" as a figure which calls to mind the time Jesus spent in the desert and the forty years that Israel spent wandering in the wilderness before entering the promised land. This use of a nice even number shouldn't be seen as an exact figure either, since the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite (aka the "traditional Latin Mass") observes Quinquagesima, Sexagesima and Septuagesima Sundays which correspond respectively to the 3 weeks prior to the start of Lent, even though the names literally denote 50, 60 and 70 days! Furthermore, even if Sundays are like "a little Easter" the Church clearly includes them, liturgically-speaking as part of Lent. In fact, they are known by their order in this sacred season – "the First Sunday of Lent" etc. And the liturgy is toned down to reflect the more somber nature of the season (The Gloria and Alleluia are omitted from the Sunday Mass and the Te Deum is not prayed by those who pray the Divine Office).
Since one may choose whatever acts of prayer, fasting and almsgiving one wishes to offer as a sacrifice, then I suppose one is free to determine how that will take shape. We are called to pay special attention to penance during this holy season, but the Church – apart from a few minimal requirements of fasting and abstinence – does not strictly outline what is to be done and how they are to be observed. Likewise if one wishes to relax his penance for Sundays, he is free to do so. Others may choose to observe the same sacrifice for the whole of Lent, Sundays included. I posed the question, "do Sundays count?" to several parishioners and was moved by the response of one man who re-discovered the Catholic faith of his baptism when he was already married with children in his late twenties. He said that, given the potential for growth in holiness, he couldn't see why he would want to "take Sundays off." I tend to agree with him and generally follow suit – the two exceptions being when the Solemnities of St. Joseph and the Annunciation fall during the season of Lent. These feasts are exceptional in that the Gloria is called to be sung during the Mass (though the Alleluia is still omitted) and the Te Deum is to be sung in the Divine Office. Based on those liturgical cues, it seems reasonable that one may find reason to relax his penance as a short break.
Regardless of how one may choose to answer the question, "Do Sundays count?" I hope that each of you have prayerfully considered (or will do so in the coming days) what means you plan to use during this Lenten season to grow in Holiness. Or, rather, to allow the Lord to increase in your heart the capacity to return His Love!
So how about it, "Do Sundays count?" Let's talk about it.

ArtRage for OSX
Company: Ambient Design, Ltd
Price: $49.90
When I purchased my first iPad several years ago, the first art painting app I installed was ArtRage. At the time it offered, and yet continues to have, the most realistic oil painting brushes of any painting app for the iPad or iPhone. As I use it so frequently on my iPad, I was eager to use the Mac OS X version on my new iMac.
The Mac version provides a good selection of art tools but ArtRage is not as complex or as robust an art application as Corel's Painter, nor does it have as steep a learning curve as Painter. For ArtRage 4 users, there is a free upgrade to the 4.5 version and that is the version I am reviewing. ArtRage 4.5 is 64-bit and supports Mac (Intel only) OS X 10.6 or later and Windows 7, 8, and Vista (not Windows XP).

Adobe Photoshop Touch for iPad
Developer: Adobe, Inc.
Platform: iPad 2 and New iPad
Version 1.1.0
Many photographers, myself included, have been patiently waiting for Adobe to develop a powerful photo-editing app for the iPad to compare with Photoshop. Adobe launched Photoshop Touch last year for the Android platform and Photoshop Touch is now available for the iPad. It is compatible with the iPad 2 and New iPad but the iPad 1 is not supported. As an image editor Adobe included several terrific features gleaned from Photoshop that are not currently found in other photo-editing apps.

"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me (Matthew 10:38)."
Jesus willingly denied His own desire to be spared from the suffering and shame of the cross so that He could fulfill the will of His Father in heaven. When He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, praying so hard that the sweat poured from His face like great drops of blood (Lk. 22:44), He asked the Father three times for a way to avoid the coming suffering (Matt. 26:44). But each time He exemplified the principle of self-denial when He said, "nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will" (Matt. 26:39).
When the soldiers came to take Jesus from the garden, Peter tried to protect Him with the sword (Jn. 18:10). But Jesus told Peter that if He wanted to escape the cross He could call twelve legions of angels to fight for Him (Matt. 26:53). He didn't though. Even though He had prayed so fervently for deliverance, He willingly allowed Himself to be taken.
With the principle of self-denial so firmly tied to the cross, it is no wonder we find Jesus using the figure of cross bearing to instruct His disciples in this important principle of the Christian life (Matt. 16:24).
What does "self-denial" mean?
Self-denial means that we do not live to serve our own desires.
Paul teaches the necessity of self-denial in 2 Corinthians 5:15, by saying, "and He [Jesus] died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." Also using the image of the cross to express self-denial, Paul says that he had been crucified with Christ so that he no longer lived his life to serve his own will but the will of "the Son of God, who loved [him] and gave Himself for [him]" (Gal. 2:20) Paul says that his self-denial was so extensive that he lived as though Christ were living in his place.
Self-denial also means having a total commitment of Christ.
A person must carefully consider the cost of discipleship and willingly make the decision to "forsake all" to follow Christ (Luke 14:33).
The apostle Paul is a good example of "forsaking all" to follow Jesus (Phil. 3:7-8). Even though he was a "Hebrew of the Hebrews," i.e. a very successful student and rising star among the Jews, he counted all these things "loss for Christ." He willingly gave all these things up for his total commitment to Christ. So much so that he considered these former pursuits as "rubbish." When compared to the "excellence of the knowledge of Christ" everything else is like garbage!
This kind of commitment to Christ comes before any earthly wealth.
The rich young ruler couldn't be a disciple of Christ because he put his riches before his commitment to Christ (Matt. 19:21, 22). Jesus didn't require all of his disciples to give away everything they had. So, why did He make such a requirement of the rich young ruler? Because that young man had something that he placed above his commitment to Christ – his riches – that had to be taken out of the way before he could truly be a faithful disciple. There is no amount of treasure that should be able to come between us and Christ! He is the Preeminent One in all things (Col. 1:18).
This kind of commitment to Christ is stronger even than family ties (Matt. 10:37; Luke 14:26).
Many times family members will put us in a position where we have to choose to please them or to serve Christ. What is truly good for our families is to be an example of total commitment to Christ that will help them do the same. We cannot compromise for the sake of pleasing others, no, not even our families.
This kind of commitment to Christ is even above our own lives (Matt. 10:38-39; 16:24-25).
When it comes to being faithful to Christ nothing should be able to stop us, not even the threat of death. That familiar phrase from Revelation 2:10, "be faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life," doesn't mean to be faithful till we grow old and die. Read that passage. It means to be faithful even if we are in danger of being killed for our faith.
Jesus denied Himself "to the point of death, even the death of the cross" (Phil. 2:8). He did that for us so that we could have everlasting life (Matt. 20:28; Rom. 6:3, 4). Should we not be at least as committed to Him as He is to us?
Jesus said that if we do not take up our cross daily and follow Him then we are not worthy of Him (Luke 9:23). Let us deny ourselves and be totally committed to Him who loved us and gave Himself for us (Gal. 2:20).
