The Red Poppy
The red poppy is most recognizable symbol for disabled veterans of many countries. This symbolic flower has been around for thousands of years, however the tradition of associating the poppy with disabled veterans stems from World War I. John McCraes famous poem In Flanders Field placed the simple flower in history. The Canadian poet was a trained physician and proudly served in World War I. The poppy quickly became the symbol for Canadas Remembrance Day and later was adopted by the United States, Great Britain, and France to honor their veterans.
The poppy was an appropriate choice for McCraes poem, as many young soldiers who fought for freedom did so in the splendor of the poppy fields. In Frances Belleau Wood, Cantigny, and Chateau Thierry war took place on battlefields that held wheat interspersed with the Corn Poppy. This bright red flower is prominent in Europe and commonly recalled in literature. The poppy was associated with veterans a great deal before the First World War. Writers in the Napoleonic Wars, , first noticed the poppy. The Napoleonic Wars took place in the early 19th Century where France, led by Napoleon, sought to conquer Europe. Napoleon had his tragic defeat at Waterloo by the English after deciding to attack Russia, costing France a good number of her soldiers. This vibrantly colored flower bloomed amidst the freshly dug graves of fallen soldiers. It was commonly said a fresh field would quickly turn red with battle, as the blood from fallen soldiers turned into the blood red petals of the poppy.
There is a more scientific reason for the onslaught of poppies directly after a battle. It seems few poppies grew in the infamous Flanders Field before the Great War, but was packed with the vibrant blooms almost immediately following the battles. Scientists have concluded the soil was not rich enough in lime to allow the poppies to flourish, however the rubble produces from fighting introduced great quantities of lime into the soil. Of course, as the lime was absorbed by the poppies, the flowers began to die slowly until none were left.
On Great Britains, Canadas and Australias Remembrance Day and Veterans Day in the United States, it is common custom to wear a paper or cloth poppy as a lapel pin. This tradition started in 1918 with a poem written by an Athens, Georgia native named Moina Michael. The great words of John McCraes poem inspired Ms. Michael to write her own work, entitled We Shall Keep the Faith. In her poem, Ms. Michael vows to keep the memory alive of those who died during the Great World War and will do so by wearing a poppy. True to her words, Ms. Michael steadfastly wore a poppy on her lapel while working in a canteen at the New York City YMCA. A French woman, Madame E. Guerin visited New York City and discovered the poignant symbol Ms. Michael wore daily. In 1920, Madame Guerin herself adopted the tradition of wearing poppies and turned the symbolic flower into a fundraiser to benefit children orphaned by the war. Madame Guerin made thousands of poppies and sold them around Frances Armistice Day. The fundraiser was extremely successful, and the next year, in 1921, Canada saw its first poppies. Like Madame Guerins fundraiser, the proceeds from the Canadian poppies went to help veterans of war and their families. Also in that year, the British Legion started selling poppies under the command of Field-Marshall Earl Haig. Field-Marshall Haig was the Commander-In-Chief of the British Armies during the First World War and founded the British Legion upon his retirement. The poppy campaign was immediately successful and continues to this day. All proceeds benefit poor or disabled former soldiers in need of assistance.
In addition to Canada, France, and Great Britain, this lovely tradition is still going strong in its native country of the United States. Each year, hundreds of thousands of dollars are donated to the countrys veterans organizations in exchange for hand-made red poppies.

If you are interested in growing your own crop of opium poppies (Papaver somniferum), the seeds are available for sale online. The sites that sell these seeds make it a special point to say the seeds are not for growing. However, it can be assumed the majority of customers aren.t wishing to shell out that kind of money to buy poppy seeds for baking purposes.
This article will describe the process for growing opium poppies. As most poppies are somniferum in variety, most regular poppy farms are actually growing opium poppies.
The poppy plant, Paper somniferum.s history begins with the ancient Sumerians. The ancient Sumerians referred to the flower as .hul gil. or plant of joy. The Sumerians passed their knowledge of the plant to the Assyrians. The Assyrians gave their knowledge of poppy cultivation to the Babylonians who passed their understanding to the Egyptians. inThe opium trade flourished during the reign of the Egyptian Pharaohs. The Egyptian civilization promoted use of opium as a sleep aid. Even Egyptian Pharaohs were buried with opium artifacts.
How to grow Papaver Somniferum
Opium poppies are annuals, which means they grow, flower, and fruit in one season, then die. They generally like cool weather best. Barely cover the papaver somniferum seeds, and sow sparsely so you will have less to thin.
In Flanders Fields the Poppies Blow
John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields the poppies grow" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
Start making poppy seed cookies in a medium mixing bowl by beating butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, poppy seed, and baking soda; beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
The earliest opium production can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in the provinces of Yunnan, Szechwan and Kansu. During the Ch'ing Dynasty ( AD>1645-1911), poppy planting was reported to have spread to Kwichow and Fukein. By 1836, it was grown extensively in Kwangtung, Fukien, Eastern Chekiang and Yunnan.
Numerous archeological finds point to the fact that opium has been the drug of choice for many civilizations, beginning with some of the oldest ones we are familiar with.
The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum is grown in many countries around the world, especially Afghanistan. This simple flower produces one of the most potent drugs in the world. Usually, there are incredible efforts in place to combat the cultivation of Papaver somniferum and the United States takes an active role in the attempt to curb opium production.
Smack, china white, horse, black tar . . . all slang names for heroin. We are often told what happens to our bodies and our minds if we use this drug made from opium poppy, but less commonly discussed is how the byproduct of a simple flower is converted into one of the most addictive drugs known to man. Also, not discussed much is how this drug makes its way from far-off growing opium poppy fields to the United States.
Opium has caused war, tragedy, suffering, addiction, and ruin wherever the drug touched on its voyage around the world. The plant responsible for this scourge is a simple flower. Papaver somniferum is more commonly known as the opium poppy and is actually a herb. The opium poppy is commonly found growing naturally in Southwestern Europe and Western Asia.
There are Poppies and oriental poppy, old-fashioned ones and new varieties, and it would almost seem that they grow more dazzling and more gorgeous each year. Perhaps they are grown in a greater number of gardens and we see their brilliant colors everywhere during the early Summer months, or perhaps, we too have learned the secret of growing these delicate silken flowers which constantly command attention.
Poppies are beautifully colored vibrant flowers that are native to many parts of the world. By far, the most infamous type of poppy is the Papaver somniferum, more commonly known as the opium poppy.
Poppies are lovely wildflowers that compliment many types of gardens. There are over 400 species of poppies, most of which are herbaceous plants, although a few are shrubs. These varieties of poppies grow in many different climates all over the world. The most infamous variety of poppy by far is the Papaver somniferous.
Poppy Pods are the seed pods of Papaver or Poppy plant. Used for centuries as a sleep aid and painkiller, poppies have always been a popular plant due to their aesthetic value and medicinal properties.
The poppy is a lovely annual flower with vividly bright leaves. Types of poppies grow in various places all over the world, but one specific poppy produces this potent drug. The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, grows naturally in an arid climate.specifically a 4,500 stretch of land from Turkey to Laos in Southern Asia. This mountainous terrain proves to be an excellent growing environment for the plant, with warm temperatures, high altitudes, and dry soil.
Only a handful of common garden flowers, all once so valued in medicine are to be found in drugstores today. Among them the poppy is one of the most important. They are few people who get through life without being grateful at one time or another for the freedom from pain that the medicine made from the poppy can bring. Morphine and Codeine are two familiar drugs made from the poppy.
The red poppy is most recognizable symbol for disabled veterans of many countries. This symbolic flower has been around for thousands of years, however the tradition of associating the poppy with disabled veterans stems from World War I. John McCrae.s famous poem .In Flanders Field. placed the simple flower in history.

House panel OKs bill to allow utilities to phase in rates related infrastructure
INDIANAPOLIS - After a series of changes intended to ease the concerns of companies that oppose the measure, an Indiana House panel approved legislation that would allow utility companies to more easily phase in rate increases related to infrastructure costs.
The proposal allows for "trackers" that would permit gas and electric companies to use an expedited process to raise rates to pay for improvements to things such as substations, transformers, pipes, power lines and more.
It's a deregulatory move that at least 18 states have made for natural gas companies and at least 11 have made for water companies.
Advocates say the proposal, Senate Bill 560, would smooth out rates so that customers don't see the large bumps that can result from base-rate cases — the lengthy Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission reviews that utilities must go through now to adjust their rates.
"This bill provides an opportunity for stable, reliable, reasonable and regulated power and natural gas service to the citizens of Indiana in a way that helps moderate rate impacts, expand services and ensure the reliability of our grid," said the bill's author, Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Lafayette.
The bill is championed by the Indiana Energy Association, the group that lobbies on utilities' behalf. It was opposed by industries that feared the bill would open the door to rapid rate hikes.
But the House Utility Committee on Wednesday made a series of changes to the bill aimed at limiting the impact of the "trackers" and beefing up ratepayer protections before voting 12-1 to advance it on to the full House. Those changes included limiting the trackers allowed through the bill to 2 percent of utilities' revenue.
Still, opponents, including the Citizens Action Coalition's Kerwin Olson, said the bill gives too much power to utilities and not enough protection to ratepayers.
"That's everything between a power plant and your light switch," he said. "This would essentially allow them to 'track' all the costs involved with running a monopoly utility company. That's inappropriate."
Gov. Mike Pence said Tuesday that his administration is "monitoring" the bill.
"The cost of energy for our industrial sector has gone up, and that's a concern for this administration," he said.
He said Indiana's reliance on coal has forced the state's rates upward as federal regulations have prompted utilities to retrofit their power plants.
Pence also said that he likes parts of the bill that allow for tax credits for utilities that build natural gas pipelines to rural areas — a move that propane companies said could put them out of business.
"My focus is going to be on what is it about this bill that puts Indiana back on a trajectory for lower utility costs for Hoosiers and Hoosier industry," Pence said.

Quality scores pulled down by problems with touch-screens, other electronic gadgets
Top models
Entry premium cars: Lexus ES 350 and Lincoln MKZ (tie), Acura TL
Compact cars: Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prius, Honda Civic
Midsize cars: Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord (tie)

Full-size pickups: GMC Sierra Light Duty, Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty, Chevrolet Avalanche and Nissan Titan (tie)
Technology woes
Car owners had the most complaints about audio, entertainment and navigation features in the J.D. Power survey, making such technologies the biggest source of defects for the first time in the study's 26 years.
Glitches in those vehicle systems have increased 45 percent since 2006, while other categories have improved 24 percent on average. Owner-reported problems with factory-installed, hands-free communications devices have more than doubled in the past four years. The features are no longer confined to high-end vehicles as companies such as Ford and GM have built more technology into their latest models. More than 80 percent of new-vehicle owners this year said they had some kind of hands-free technology, according to the survey.
"Technology is becoming more important as a quality differentiator," said David Sargent, vice president of global automotive at Westlake Village, California-based J.D. Power. "This is really where the battleground is now."
Lexus makes the best-quality cars in the U.S., and automakers overall are much better at eliminating problems that land vehicles in the repair shop, according to a new survey of car owners.
Toyota's luxury line, which topped the survey for the second consecutive year, had the fewest problems per 100 vehicles in a survey of 2012 models by J.D. Power and Associates. It was followed by two other luxury carmakers, Jaguar and Porsche, which tied for second place. Cadillac and Honda rounded out the top five.
Cars and trucks sold in the U.S. had the highest quality since the research firm started doing the study in 1987. Still, quality was hurt by widespread glitches in technology such as touch-screen controls and voice-recognition software, said David Sargent, J.D. Power's automotive vice president. Troubles with touch screens and automatic transmissions continued to hurt Ford, which finished 27th out of 34 brands.
Companies have learned quality manufacturing techniques from top competitors, and they're using higher quality materials than in the past, Sargent said. Quality has improved so much during the past decade that the difference between the best and worst brands is less than one problem per vehicle, according to the study. "Everybody in the industry knows that if they don't keep improving, they're going to fall behind," said Sargent.
J.D. Power cited plants producing Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche models for quality awards. No U.S. automaker received a quality citation for a factory from J.D. Power for the second consecutive year.
J.D. Power asked 74,000 people who bought or leased 2012 models about how reliable their vehicles were and whether they had problems with knobs, switches, electronics and other items in the first 90 days of ownership. The study, considered an indicator of long-term dependability, is the first major assessment of quality for 2012 vehicles. Consumer Reports magazine's influential quality study comes out in October and includes other years. J.D. Power follows up with a long-term quality study in March.

The World Heritage Site of Lake Manyara National Park has a vast soda lake covering 230 sq km (86 sq miles) that is flanked to the west by the sheer wall of the Great Rift Valley. This is a water catchment area for the rivers which flow into the park creating large areas of ground water forest at the foot of the wall. This tropical forest contains giant fig and mahogany trees and alternates with acacia woodland and open spaces, all providing varied habitats for the Park's flora and fauna.
The mammal and bird lists are extensive. As well as the Park's famous tree climbing lions there are hippos, elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, monkeys, leopards, cheetah and much more. The lake attracts vast numbers of birds to the area, including flamingos and many rare species. As many as 380 bird species have been recorded in the park.
With its attractive soda lake, picturesque mountain scenery and thick forest, Lake Manyara National Park offers diverse terrain that supports a profusion of wildlife.
With a span of over 8,300 sq kms (3,192 sq miles), the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a perfect microcosm of East Africa: it combines spectacular scenery and valuable archaeological sites with mountains, forests, grassland plains, extinct volcanoes and a staggering profusion of wildlife.
Central to the Area is the Ngorongoro Crater which is actually the sunken cone of a huge, extinct volcano - the crater floor covering 260 sq kms (100 sq miles). There are stunning vistas from the road that descends the 2,000 feet to the crater floor.
Within the crater are bull elephants, lions, hyena, zebra, wildebeest among others living on the grasslands and acacia forests. The location is important as a successful sanctuary for the endangered black rhino. There is also a soda lake - Lake Magadi - which attracts greater and lesser flamingo and other water birds.
The Ngorongoro Crater provides a unique and beautiful backdrop for observing and photographing its fascinating and varied wildlife.
The Serengeti National Park is the largest and best known of all the Tanzania National Parks covering an area of 14,500 sq km (5,600 sq miles). The vast Serengeti plains sustain the greatest and most spectacular concentration of wildlife found anywhere in the world.
The Serengeti is known for its vast open plains with lofty rocky outcrops giving character to the landscape, but there are also acacia and savannah woodland, forests, rivers and the occasional swamp and small lake.
The natural phenomenon of the Great Migration sees vast herds of wildebeest gather to the south to give birth in February to March - over 400,000 calves are born within a six week period. Over the coming months they move north through Central Serengeti and along the western corridor and up to the Maasai Mara to breed before returning south to start the whole pattern again.
The Serengeti is also known for its large prides of lions and the magnificent black maned lions are often seen surveying their territories from the top of the rocky outcrops. Leopards are relatively numerous and are to be found during the daytime resting in trees along the Seronera river.
Smaller animals also play an important role in the plains life cycle. Banded mongoose, brightly coloured agama lizards, rock hyrax, dikdik, vervet monkeys to name just a few.
Bird-lovers are drawn by more than 500 species of birds. There are large numbers of Kori Bustard, Africa's heaviest flying birds, as well as the snake eating Secretary Bird, Crowned Plover, Yellow throated sandgrouse and many more.
Rwanda – "the land of a thousand hills" – offers a new aspect to Africa and a different holiday experience to that of other East African countries. With its stunning landscape including dramatic volcanoes, thick rainforest and vast lakes, Rwanda ensures that travellers have a truly unforgettable time.
The Parc National des Volcans is one of the only places in the World where you can trek through the rainforest to track and observe endangered Mountain Gorillas.
Other activities are treks to see Chimpanzees and Golden Monkeys in the wild, guided forest walks to see waterfalls or to visit lakeside villages to learn about the local culture or community projects. Guests can also learn about the life and work of the late Dian Fossey, the conservationist and author ("Gorillas in the Mist") who dedicated her life to the study and protection of Mountain Gorillas.

Journalist Mike Whitney praised the Truthdig editor in chief for being "the only voice on the left" to defend former Reagan budget director David Stockman against an "army of toffeenose pundits" who failed to honor the essential truth of Stockman's controversial New York Times op-ed.
A look at the day's political happenings, including speculation heightens about Hillary Clinton's 2016 prospects and new figures show just how well Dick Cheney's former company made out during the Iraq War.
AP/Louis Lanzano
Former Reagan-era budget director David Stockman is under attack by pundits everywhere for confirming that money for Wall Street and nothing for Main Street stands as an upper-class attack on the American public.
For all of the strident attacks on Stockman's column, I have yet to read a serious critique of his most brazen claim.
AP/Ron Edmonds
David Stockman, who served as Ronald Reagan's budget director from 1981 to 1985, leveled some harsh criticism at his former boss as well as at President George W. Bush in an op-ed he penned about the dire state of the economy for The New York Times titled "Sundown in America."
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, National Archives and Records Administration
As he became president in 1981, Ronald Reagan called in a 34-year-old congressman from Michigan named David Stockman, considered by many to be the most articulate and intellectually imposing Republican of the moment.
A look at the day's political happenings, including the Republican National Convention keynote speaker revealed and Stephen Colbert offers some "praise" for Mitt Romney's VP choice.

How to Draw Samus Aran
Samus Aran is the heroine of the video game series Metroid. She's an ex-soldier turned bounty hunter and wears powerful armor equipped with awesome firearms. To gamers, she's as famous as Lara Croft. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to show you how to draw Samus in her Zero Suit.
1Draw a stick figure. This will be the base pose for your drawing.Ad
2Give the body life by adding shapes and guidelines. Remember that you're drawing a female character so be aware of your proportions.
3Sketch in her face and hair. Samus is well known for her blonde hair.
4Start sketching the upper body. The Zero Suit is a bodysuit so it would follow her contour/outline exactly. Then, sketch her lower body.
5Add the suit details as seen in the video game. Don't forget the logo to the left of her chest!
6Outline her in permanent media. You can use anything (for example, ink or paint). Wait a few minutes and erase all your pencil guidelines.
7Color her and you're done!
We could really use your help!

I remember a few years ago looking at this great exhibition from the side as a smaller company. Here we are a few years later and when it comes to the financial B2B industry, the iFX EXPO is the place to be. After seeing the turnout and amazing success of last years expos, this year we have decided to host the iFX EXPO welcoming party.
Outstanding event, the expo is great opportunity to build partnerships and the parties are awesome. We have exhibited multiple times and we will continue to do so as we are extremely happy with the turnout and the expo team.
Attending and sponsoring iFX EXPO has helped us bring massive exposure to our product and allowed us to meet with clients and potential clients from all over the world. In addition, being able to meet with other delegates, and attend the panel discussions, has gained us valuable insight into the state of the currency trading industries on all levels.
Our participation iFX EXPOs has enabled Swissquote to successfully promote our FX Services to targeted audiences, meet face to face with existing clients, potential partners and industry participants as well as stay update to date on current industry trends.
Investing.com Team loves coming back to the iFX EXPO year after year, it's the best conference to meet the majority of the industry and create new business relationships. I would recommend the conference to any Brand, Company and individual within the Finance and Media industry.
Every CEO is interest in the bottom line, for me iFX EXPO has proven to be the best B2B expo. The expo had more attendees then any other expo I have attended within the sector and I believe the expo will continue to grow.

Fitness for All Types
By Chris Sparling
Do you know how to operate an F-16 jet fighter? Can you build an addition on a house? Are you able to play the oboe? Chances are, unless someone has at least explained to you how to do these things, you probably don't have a clue where to even begin. The same applies for working out. It's very human to avoid our own lack of know-how, which is why so many people may sometimes fear starting a regular workout program.
We're about to change all that.
Studies have shown that even moderate exercise can help a person lose weight and regulate their blood glucose levels. With that in mind, the exercise newbie should follow a fitness routine that pushes them just past their current level of exertion. Doing so will allow the body to acclimate to this new, and slightly more strenuous, daily workload, thus improving circulation, helping to stabilize blood sugars, and increasing metabolic rate. Regular exercise is important for anyone, but particularly important for people with diabetes.
Remember to always speak with your doctor before engaging in an exercise program of any kind, as they can help you fine-tune your medications to help avoid lows and highs. You may also want to speak with a registered dietitian or nutritionist to help create a meal plan or even a snack that can aid in keeping your numbers steady and your body strong. A fitness professional (such as a personal trainer or exercise physiologist) may be helpful if you feel you need further clarification on some of the exercise routines listed above.
(And as far as flying that F-16 or building the addition on your home goes, my guess is that you should talk to a professional before trying either of those, as well.)

Microwave and gen.
I am trying run a small microwave oven on a 1000 Honda Generator.
Thought I might be able to use it at anchor.
I know that a 700 watt microwave will not run on it but does anyone have any experience on a 600 watt?:confused:
Re: Microwave and gen.
just get an inverter and use the genset to charge the batteries. Or buy a 12 volt microwave and forget the inverter.
Or just forget the micro. what do you want a microwave for anyway?
Grill, frypan, oven.
Re: Microwave and gen.
Or sell that gen and get the 2kw one for $150 more.
Re: Microwave and gen.
I had a friend who installed a microwave on his boat. I asked him why. He told me that it was to defrost frozen food. I responded that I did that at home; I put my frozen meat in the microwave before I went to work and it was defrosted when I got home, and the cat had not eaten it.
Re: Microwave and gen.
Well if the rated power (W or VA) is less than the W or VA rating of the generator it should work. It's not the watt rating on the microwave that matters it's the input rating that should be written on some label. If it lists amps then multiply 120 by the amps and you have VA.
Just remember, is you go with the batteries/inverter solution, make sure the inverter will handle the watts, or you will be in the exact same spot. Look on your genny, most have 2 numbers, the 1000w is peak and not generally what it will put out (espcially if it is a Harbor Freight or made in China model, which also tend to burn out under hard use just when you need them most... )
Re: Microwave and gen.
We have a microwave on our boat that we can run any time we want. We don't use it. When we go full time cruising, the MW will come out and we will gain a shelf.
Re: Microwave and gen.
If you are going to run a microwave without shore power, I strongly suggest that you run your engine at about 1000 rpm while doing so. Otherwise you will be putting a big load on your batteries.
Re: Microwave and gen.
I am forgetting the idea of a microwave. Thanks for all the ifno.
Re: Microwave and gen.
We find our microwave to be one of the most useful things on our boat, especially when sailing. With MW special items like the pressure cooker we can cook rice in a heavy sea w/o spilling any water or monitoring. Reheating is fast & simple and heating water for my honey's cocoa is so swift I don't mind "cooking" for her!
2 hot dogs in 1 minute, fresh ears of corn are better than any other cooking method in about 5 minutes! Even fantastic fresh fish can be done in a MW, but it takes a while to learn how to use one successfully.
We use an inverter when we don't run the generator, but considering how short cooking in a MW is, there's not too much drain on the batteries. I would suggest a MW/convection combo, if you can afford the power; another super time saver for only a few bucks more.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Before staff at Riverfront Park could even finish cleaning a mess left by pranksters on the night before Christmas, another one of its kind showed up on Spokane s South Hill.
Some park employees cut their holiday break short to clean up picnic tables at Riverfront. Vandals stacked them to look like a Christmas tree, tinsel and all, on Christmas Eve. Park goers found them collapsed the next day.
Having to call people in on Christmas morning-- For one of my crew members, it s her first year with her new baby. That pulls at your heart when you have to pull people away from their family for something that was meant to be a prank, David Randolph, Riverfront Park Labor Foreman, said.
More tables were found at Manito Park on Dec. 26. The stacked pyramid under a pavilion was blocked off to park-goers to keep them safe.
Park staff says the growing number of incidents means more money out of taxpayers pockets.
Riverfront Park wants to find a permanent, more secure storage plan for the tables.
Randolph says he wishes the staff could use their time improve the park, rather than clean up after these pranks.

Veteran Kathakali artiste Kottakkal Sivaraman, who died last night at his home at Karalmanna in Palakkad last night, was an actor who brought feminine grace to the male-dominated Kathakali theatre through his sterling portrayal of a wide range of epic women.
Whether it was charming and vivacious Damayanthi in the story of star-crossed King Nala or the emotionally charged Kunthi, who at an agonizing phase in her life meets her long-discarded son Karna, Sivaraman brought a distinct touch to whatever roles he was cast in.
In a career spanning five decades, Sivaraman had been largely instrumental in giving equal prominence to women characters in Kathakali plays. He chose to do the female roles at a time when only those who excelled in presenting heroes or anti-heroes won recognition as maestros relegating the female roles to minor players or budding actors.
Though it was by chance that Sivaraman was cast in a female role for the first time, he soon realised theatrical potential of such characters and his own talent to present them gracefully.
According to Kathakali connoisseurs, Sivaraman was best known for his role as princess Damayanthi in 'Nalacharitha', a four-part play which movingly portrays the vicissitudes in the life of King Nala and his consort, an episode taken from the Mahabharath.
The play by Unnayi Warrier, traditionally staged in four nights, had elements of romance and tragedy mingled in it. As the central character destined to be the victim of cruel and blind fate, Damayanthi's role was always seen as a challenge by actors. But the versatile artist in Sivaraman excelled in the role bringing all its emotional appeal to the audience.
Sivaraman teamed up with veteran actor Kalamandalam Gopi in presenting Nalacharitham on hundreds of stages with the duo acquiring the status of glamorous stage pairs in the reckoning of Kathakali fans.
"It was always an unforgettable experience to do the hero to Sivarman's heroine.Whatever be the role he was cast in, he could plumb the emotional depths of them and present most touchingly," Gopi said.
Sivaraman, 74, was born in a family which had produced leading artists. He had his initial lessons from his uncle and veteran classicist Vazhengada Kunju Nair. For long, he was a lead player at the PSV Natyasangham, repertoire sponsored by leading ayurvedic institution Kottakkal Aryavaidyasala.
A recepient of several honours, Kerala Government last year bestowed a unique award on Sivaraman -- Stree Ratna of the stage (Women jewel of the stage) -- in recognition of his unique contribution as a male actor who excelled in female roles.

Detroit at Anaheim (9 p.m. EDT). The Ducks try to close out the Red Wings at home.
Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere has made 72 saves on 76 shots in two games since a 5-0 meltdown against Detroit last week. The Ducks won both games and now have a 3-2 series lead with game 6 Tuesday night in Anaheim.
Sabres forward Dainius Zubrus was sidelined by a knee injury in Buffalo's season-ending loss to Ottawa in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals. Zubrus confirmed the injury on Monday, two days after the Sabres were eliminated. NHL teams aren't required to identify injuries during the playoffs.
``The 5-0 game, I got toilet-papered at my home by Red Wings fans, so I thought, 'I've got to raise my level here,''' Anaheim Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere after the Ducks' loss to Detroit last week.

Sabres Zubrus was bothered by knee injury
Mon, May 21, 2007
By Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres forward Dainius Zubrus was sidelined by a knee injury in Buffalo's season-ending loss to Ottawa in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Zubrus confirmed the injury on Monday, two days after the Sabres were eliminated. NHL teams aren't required to identify injuries during the playoffs.
Zubrus isn't sure if he'll require surgery to repair damaged cartilage. He had an arthroscopic procedure on the same knee in the summer of 2005.
He said his knee began hurting during the second-round series against the New York Rangers, won by Buffalo in six games. After playing the first three games against Ottawa, Zubrus was limited to 4 minutes in Game 4. He then sat out Saturday as the Sabres lost 3-2.
Acquired at the trade deadline in February in a deal with Washington, Zubrus had four goals and four assists in 19 regular-season games with Buffalo. He added eight assists in 15 playoff games, while playing a key checking role.
A 10-year NHL veteran, Zubrus completed the final year of his contract and is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Sharks GM won't guarantee coach's return
May 21, 2007
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- General manager Doug Wilson needed two weeks to calm down after the San Jose Sharks' second-round exit from the playoffs, and he's still not ready to make any quick decisions on the futures of his players and coaches.
Saying he's "frustrated and disappointed" with the end of an otherwise successful season, Doug Wilson plans to decide by next week whether coach Ron Wilson will return to San Jose next season.
The general manager was at times both blunt and evasive Monday in a wide-ranging interview, his first since San Jose was eliminated by the Detroit Red Wings in six games two weeks ago.
"I have not had a feeling like this since I've been here," said Doug Wilson, the former Chicago defenseman who has molded San Jose's remarkable talent pool into a perennial winner over the past three seasons.
"We're not going to sit idly by. That's not what good teams have historically done. ... There will be changes. I'm not going to say, 'OK, everybody will take this experience and be better by September.' We will not do that. We're trying to win Stanley Cups, and we're trying to build a great organization."
Though the Sharks earned 51 victories and 107 points during the best regular season in franchise history, they left the playoffs with a precipitous slide after a promising first-round win over Nashville. San Jose lost its final three games against Detroit, and Doug Wilson still hasn't decided how to deal with the exposed problems in the Sharks' leadership and strategy.
Firing the coach is an unlikely solution, but it's apparently still on the table: Doug Wilson pointedly refused to guarantee Ron Wilson will return to the club he has led to 138 regular-season victories and four playoff series wins -- but no Stanley Cup finals appearances -- over the past three seasons.
The Wilsons, who aren't related, went through a 12-hour meeting last week evaluating every problem with the Sharks. Ron Wilson asked for a few more days to find answers to Doug Wilson's questions, and the two will meet again later in the week, with a decision expected to be announced next week.
"We'll deal with the end of the process this week, and we'll go from there Monday," said Doug Wilson, who extended Ron Wilson's contract last season during a 10-game winless streak.
Though he has built a sturdy, young team with no obvious weaknesses, Doug Wilson said he is determined to re-examine the Sharks' structure. Any player seems available in a trade discussion -- except Joe Thornton, last season's MVP, who's already had informal discussions about a long-term contract.
"You can't just go get better players. You've got to make your own players better," said Doug Wilson, who has made brilliant deals for Thornton and defenseman Craig Rivet along with less-successful swaps for Bill Guerin and Mark Bell in recent months.
The Sharks' postseason collapse included Ron Wilson's thinly veiled scolding for captain Patrick Marleau, who struggled throughout the Detroit series despite a reputation for strong postseason play. Marleau's leadership skills are questioned repeatedly by fans who don't see how the taciturn son of a Saskatchewan farmer can be an effective captain.
"I trust that dressing room," Doug Wilson said. "I don't micromanage. There will be conversations that will take place. We'll handle it."
He also said it's "highly unlikely" that goalies Evgeni Nabokov and Vesa Toskala both will return for next season. Both are proven NHL netminders who shared an uneasy platoon until Toskala got hurt this spring, and Wilson fully intends to trade one of the goalies before training camp -- though he failed to find a similar trade last summer.
"I don't think there's many goalies that would have done what they did for us, but that will not continue," Wilson said.
Doug Wilson understands fans' concerns that the Sharks are turning into the West Coast version of the Ottawa Senators, who struggled through years of regular-season successes and playoff failures before finally breaking through to the Stanley Cup finals this year. The Sharks blew leads in three of their losses to Detroit, including a pair of two-goal margins.
"I want excuses removed from this organization forever," Doug Wilson said. "If anything, we're going to raise the expectations. People say we underachieved. Well, you know what? We did, and the only way we're going to overachieve is to win a Stanley Cup."

Everyone — almost everyone – had something to say about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld most of the Affordable Care Act. We talked to people from all around the industry and here is what they had to say.
For more reactions, check out these posts:
"AdvaMed supported goals of healthcare reform consistent with our long-held principles. We have consistently opposed the $29 billion medical device tax because of its damaging effects on economic competitiveness, jobs and the research and development needed to find tomorrow's treatments and cures. The House has already voted to repeal the device tax, and we are heartened by the number of senators who have said they oppose the tax. We will continue to work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle to achieve this goal." – Stephen J. Ubl, AdvaMed president and CEO
"We began planning for implementation of the measures in the Affordable Care Act long ago. We have been engaged in payment and delivery system reform changes that started before passage of the ACA in the private sector and that will continue. We remain committed to executing on our key strategies, which will allow us to succeed in any environment." – Amy Von Walter, spokeswoman at Medtronic
"I'm a bit surprised. My instinct would be that the individual mandate would be struck down, but in the opinion written by Chief Justice [John] Roberts, it has been repositioned as a tax in the legal sense and therefore would not be struck down. The biggest question mark and concern remains the 2.3 percent excise tax on domestic medical device manufacturers' revenues. The question beyond that question is just how far reaching the device tax may be." – Dane Stout, executive director of Connected Health Practice, Anson Group LLC

So sick of this weather.
Tuesday, 24 Apr 12 Rainy 12°C / 54°F
Ok so rain is giid for the garden but this is all too much! I haven't been able to get out into the garden for several weeks now and my lawn is like a swamp. I've had to move my spud bags and garlic to the summerhouse veranda to keep the worst of the weather off them. No wonder I haven't been on this site since the beginning of April. I have braved the elements today, dashed down to the summerhouse at the bottom of the garden and sow my runner beans in the propogator. I've been meaning to do this for a couple of weeks but have kept putting it off because of the awful weather.
On the plus side, my tomato and chilli plants are coming along nicely on the windowsill.

Robert Stevenson, (born March 31, 1905, Buxton, Derbyshire, England—died April 30, 1986, Santa Barbara, California, U.S.), British-born American director best known for his numerous Disney movies, which included such classics as Johnny Tremain (1957) and Mary Poppins (1964).
Early films
After studying at the University of Cambridge, Stevenson embarked on a film career in Britain. He worked as a screenwriter before codirecting (with Paul Martin) his first film, A Blonde Dream (also known as Happy Ever After) in 1932. His first solo effort was Nine Days a Queen (1936; also known as Tudor Rose), a historical drama about Lady Jane Grey. Other notable early films include Non-Stop New York and King Solomon's Mines (both 1937), the latter of which starred Paul Robeson. In 1939 Stevenson was put under contract by David O. Selznick and brought to Hollywood. Selznick, however, never used Stevenson himself, instead loaning out the director to a number of studios. Stevenson's first American film, Tom Brown's School Days (1940), was a colourful adaptation of Thomas Hughes's popular novel, with Freddie Bartholomew and Jimmy Lydon. Stevenson followed it with the melodrama Back Street (1941), a fine adaptation of Fannie Hurst's novel; it starred Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan as illicit lovers.
Stevenson worked on several documentary films during World War II while also continuing to direct features. Joan of Paris (1942) was one of the best early World War II action movies and starred Michèle Morgan, Paul Henreid, and Laird Cregar. Stevenson then contributed a segment to the episodic drama Forever and a Day (1943). The intergenerational family saga featured an all-star cast of British performers. The well-mounted adaptation (1943) of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre starred Joan Fontaine, Orson Welles (whose hand hovers over this atmospheric production), and Margaret O'Brien; Elizabeth Taylor appeared in an uncredited role. In the mystery Dishonored Lady (1947), Hedy Lamarr portrayed a magazine editor accused of murder. To the Ends of the Earth (1948), an especially good Dick Powell opus about the international opium trade, ranks with the best hard-boiled films of that time. Stevenson closed out the decade with the frenetic I Married a Communist (1949; also known as The Woman on Pier 13). Robert Ryan played a businessman being blackmailed by members of the Communist Party, who threaten to expose his earlier involvement with the group if he fails to help them; Laraine Day was cast as his wife.
Walk Softly, Stranger (1950) was a moody love story in which a thief (played by Joseph Cotten) turns over a new leaf after he falls in love with a disabled girl (Alida Valli). The drama My Forbidden Past (1951) featured Robert Mitchum and Ava Gardner in 19th-century New Orleans. The Las Vegas Story (1952) was a disappointing film noir starring Victor Mature, Vincent Price, and Jane Russell. The movie was perhaps best remembered for the battle between the Screen Writers Guild and producer Howard Hughes, who refused to credit Paul Jarrico because of the latter's alleged communist leanings; Hughes ultimately prevailed, though years later Jarrico's name was added. Stevenson then moved to television, working on such anthology series as The Ford Television Theatre, Cavalcade of America, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He also directed several episodes of Gunsmoke.

You know it's a good day when Gwyneth Paltrow looks pretty damn hot, as she did at last night's Golden Heart Awards, which I must admit I'm still not sure what it was for, and don't care so much as long as it brings out the girls like Gweneth, Erin Heatherton, who is getting hotter and hotter with age, and Olivia Munn, who is getting more and more nekkid in every subsequent dream I have.
Three hot ladies, decked out in their finest, flashing just enough skin to let you know that if you could afford, you would be buying (sadly, there's no rent-by-the-minute plan, because I think I could afford about three minutes with Olivia now that my paper-clip in a Subway sandwich settlement money is in.). Enjoy.
