The massive fires set by the firebombs were responsible for a reported death toll ranging between 80,000 and 200,000. This was to be the highest death toll from a single strike in Japan. Six months later, the atomic bombs were not able to cause such massive loss of lives. The effectiveness of firebombing was thus ascertained once again. Firebombs were designed such that once they fell, they scattered flaming dew on the roofs of the Japanese houses. Upon contact, dew set fire to the wooden and paper roofs of the Japanese houses. Everything that came into contact with this dew was set on fire. Japanese infrastructure had been inadequate to deal with the outbreak of fires. As a result, the firebombs had a devastating effect given the meager defenses against fire that had been set up by the Japanese. Hand pumped water, use of sands and wet mats were the primary ways of dealing with fire. Given the heat attributed to the firebombs and intensity of the attack, the Japanese were left incapable of defending their land against the firebombs. The speeds of the fires were akin to the speeds of forest fires. Given the speeds of the fires that were as a result of the winds and the highly flammable materials present, people found themselves surrounded by fires. Read More

What result does World War 2 have on nation's industrial sectors, and how have done the conflict reinvent the Usa economic situation
The atomic bombs caused significant destruction of the two cities in which the bombs had been dropped. The first casualty of atomic bombing was Hiroshima which as the first city where an atomic bomb was used in war. 70,000 to 80,000 people died as a result of using the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Made out of uranium, this first bomb was nicknamed Little Boy. This nickname was not in reference to its size given that the bomb had weighed over four and a half tons. Little Boy, on august the 6th in 1945, was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. Aioi Bridge had been the primary target of the atomic bomb. Ground zero had been set at 1,980 feet. Enola Gay was the plane tasked with the duty of delivering this massive bomb to Hiroshima. At 0815 hours, the deadly atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima.
The starting of the 20th Century was looked at a dawn inside a world-wide interaction. Due to the fact signing of treaties and diplomacy activities distinguished the quicker decades, there might have been the existence of advert hoc intercontinental enterprises which made sure that forthcoming procedures were originally performed with the total body to curb troubles like slavery inside a modern society (Roebuck). It had become prior to the coming of League of Nations, which was in the future along with the U . N ., that an cataclysm improve with the two Environment competitions was began. Foreign town settled to seek to interact in preserve world wide peace of mind, respecting man privileges and ensuring that entire world-great security and safety is retained. The United Nation's Charter, demonstrated in 1945, as long as a particular platform for your many kinds of colleges and outlined its objectives which added; maintenance of Overseas harmony, forming "friendly allergic reactions amongst countries depending on honor for the key facts of even rights and personal perseverance of people." Additionally, it endeavored to market "respect for human rights as well as essential freedoms for al lacking differentiation in regards tolanguage and race, gender or religion." Despite the fact that World-wide associations improved upon international peace of mind, The Second World War was also capable of being enacted. Read More

After the bombing of the city of Tokyo, the next target was Yokohama. In the approach to Yokohama, the bombers were accompanied by other planes whose role was to shoot down the enemy planes. A total of 26 Japanese planes were shot down during the attack on Yokohama. Despite the presence of these protector planes, five bombers were shot down and an additional 175 were damaged. In the wake of the attack, Yokohama had lost about 9 square miles. Despite the loss of bomber planes and the damage to other planes, the attack was still successful. The effectiveness of the Yokohama attack gave the allied forces much confidence in their use of firebombing. It is this confidence in the adopted strategies that resulted in the total destruction of yet another Japanese city. Read More
What influence managed World War II have along the nation's establishments, and in what ways probably did the conflict transform the U.S. economic conditions
Despite the deviance from the trajectory, the bomb was still able to level about half of the city. According to reliable sources, the number of deaths that resulted from blast of the atomic bombing was about 25,000 people. The destruction radius was about a mile. This again was much shorter than the radius of the destruction that characterized the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The blast resulted in a fire destruction of about 2 miles. This again was much shorter that fire destruction that was witnessed in the Hiroshima blast. It has to be understood that the destructive force of an atomic bomb does not essentially stop with the initial explosion. Rather, the atomic bomb culminates in acidic rain. The radioactive particles that were left behind in the wake of the atomic explosion meant that the rain came into contact with radioactive particles thus making the rain to be acidic. Radiation poisoning is thus a real threat to the survivors of the explosion of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Read More
What impact managed World War 2 have by the nation's markets, and in what way would the war revolutionize the Usa economic situation
When it was decided that the use of firebombing would be the most approach, the first test of firebomb was decided to be on Tokyo. Reports had suggested that this city would have conditions sufficient for success of the firebombs. The successful use of incendiary raids was hinged on the existence of a mix of weather elements that were conducive for maximum destruction. These raids were highly successful when there was dry air that was complemented by significant winds. Reliable weather reports showed that these conditions would be present in Tokyo on the set date for the first firebombing attack. On 9th- 10th of March, 1945, the first firebombing raid was carried out on Tokyo. The attack lasted till dawn. In the wake of the attacks, there were massive deaths and destruction. Tokyo now became synonymous with death and devastation.
To enhance the accuracy of the bombers, it was decided that they be stripped of its machine gun ammunition. The bombers also started to fly at lower altitudes that had been characteristic of them during previous attacks. Additionally, the pathfinder planes were tasked with the duty of dropping napalm bombs in the desired locations. As such, given the X that had been created on the ground by the napalm bombs ensured that the bombers were able to identify where they were to set the firebombs. Read More
What effects probably did World War 2 have on a nation's sectors, and in what ways probably did the warfare reinvent the Usa economic crisis
The fires that were caused by the firebombs were visible as far as 150 miles away. In a proof of the effectiveness of this first raid, 17 square miles of the city were lost. Given that the attack lasted for about three hours only, it was clear that firebombing was the best attacking approach that would destroy Japan. It has been reported that the fire caused by the firebombing operation was so intense that the rivers reached boiling point. The windy conditions amplified the effects of the firebombs given that they fuelled the growth of the fire throughout the wooden city of Tokyo.
The beginning of the 20th Century was thought of as a dawn within your foreign relations.

What final result performed The Second World War have on your nation's market sectors, as well as how have the battle revolutionize the Usa economic situation
The atomic bomb over-passed the intended target by some 800 feet. At 0816, the atomic bomb hit the city and immediately resulted in the deaths of 70,000 to 80,000 people. 69,000 people were injured at the wake of the explosion. Such was the aftermath of the use of a 10-kiloton atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The diameter of the total destruction was about one mile. Damages attributed to the blast were evident even from about two miles in diameter. It was by far one of the most lethal bombs to be denoted during war anywhere on earth. The nature of the bomb was that everything that was flammable was ignited by the bomb. The areas that had not been directly impacted by the blast were characterized with serious blazes. These blazes stretched out to about three miles in diameter. All in all, the effects of the atomic bomb were felt for over three miles in diameter of the initial point of contact of the bomb. Little boy managed to result in massive and extensive destruction of the city of Hiroshima. Read More
What effect have done World War 2 have located on the nation's businesses, and just how would the war reinvent the U.S. economic crisis
Japanese cities were compact urban areas constructed of wood and paper making the effects of incendiary bombs more devastating. Japan provided the best environment for the success of the firebombs. Its structure and composition more than assured the success of the firebombing. Japan was comprised, to a large extent, of houses that were made primarily of wood and paper. Most of the cities were predominantly built using wood and paper. As can thus be expected, fire was a great weapon in the goal of causing massive destruction of the people. This characteristic made Japan's cities to be among the most susceptible cities in world at the time. The incendiaries worked by lighting the wood and paper structures on fire. The fires spread rather rapidly given the ease of these materials in catching fire. Read More

The city of Toyama was city that experienced the largest per mile destruction of all the Japanese cities that had been attacked using the firebombing strategy. As a result of the effectiveness of the firebombing campaign, 99.5% of the city was lost. This more than ever sought to ascertain the potency of the attack by allied forces. The fires that had been set in the city were so intense to the extent that well visible some 12,000 feet above the ground. These fires were so bright that the aircraft flying over this city did not using the normal guiding systems. Cameras that were on board the bombers were shut off by the system. These cameras were usually triggered by flash units. Such was the extent of the fires that engulfed the city.
Most literatures on the World War II tend to focus on the destructive capacity of the atomic bombs. Devastating impacts of the two atomic bombs cannot be discounted in their role they had in compelling the Japanese to an unconditional surrender. Effects of the two atomic bombs are still evident in the contemporary Japan. As has been pointed out herein, the use of firebombing culminated in significant destruction of the cities of Japan. The country was set ablaze given its inadequate methods of handling the outbreak of fires and the presence of an environment conducive for the spread of fires. Firebombing led to massive loss of lands in the Japanese cities. The extent to which has been outlined herein. It now becomes essential to analyze the devastating impacts of the two nuclear bombs in their entirety. This is given the need to analyze which attack approach; either the atomic bombs or firebombing was the most devastating to Japan. Read More
What effect does World War II have towards the nation's sectors, and exactly how managed the conflict transform the Usa economic system
From May to August 1945, there were about 58 cities that were firebombed by the allied forces. During the final phases of this war, Kobe was greatly firebombed. This resulted in the city recording the largest loss of life per square mile. Such severe destruction had not been witnessed in any other city in Japan. More than 8000 tons of dropped bombs were delivered by more than 1200 bombers in the skies of Kobe. Even cities such as Hiroshima and Tokyo had not received such massive bombing attacks. Such focus on this city culminated in the total destruction of a significant portion of the city. About four miles of the city was turned into ashes. Read More

Five Guys Burger Cajun Spice Ingridients
Does anyone know what Five Guys puts in its cajun spice seasoning? I'm wanting to replicate it at home, and am wondering if this is public knowledge or not.
Thanks in advance!
It's a fair bet it's not public knowledge. As to Cajun spice, there are as many blends as there are Cajun kitchens. One quick search turned this up: "The Cajun Fries at Five Guys are the same as the regular fries, natural cuts, but dusted heavily with Cajun seasoning. The seasoning includes, according to the manager on duty, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, white pepper, and 'spice.' These are hot, oh so hot. So hot I think I burned the tip of my tongue and the roof of my mouth, yow. I had to suck on ice cubes to cool off." http://frenchfrydiary.blogspot.com/20...
No doubt the missing "spice" is Cayenne, although there may be some herbs in there as well. Basil, oregano, and thyme all see duty, alone or in pairs, in various Cajun spice blends.
re: ThePowerUp
How did you find out?
re: mcsheridan
Funny enough I was in a supermarket and saw the cajun spice on the shelf, checked it out and it was same look and texture, brought it home and tried it (on hashbrowns no less :P) and definitely that was it.
re: ThePowerUp
Thx for the tip...love the cajun fries

Mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong section, please shuffle it wherever it belongs if so.
I'd like some critiques on my overall style, and be vicious because those are the most helpful.
Please note that these are finished paintings that I don't plan on revisiting, and that I don't want critiques based on the paintings themselves, I just want you guys to rip me a new one when it comes to my style.
I haven't heard anything useful in a number of years, but I've started to notice that all my figures tend to look a little ..stiff, but I'm not sure how to fix that. Maybe its just me? Thats just an example of what I'd like to hear, and I'm sure you guys will do just fine.

Just kidding, here goes;
1st pic: Funny sky with only stars at the top (and alot), and very bright below. Cloth could use some texture, its too tidy. Especially for an indian I'd say. Most of the anatomy seems fine, though I'm not sure about his right shoulder. Also, I'm confused by his feet, he seems to be wearing panties.
2nd pic: I think the perfect sideview of the face messes it up a bit. Most of her pose is very dynamic, the face doesnt add up to that. Funny neck, thin collarbones. I think some more attention to the background would do well. A forest doesnt start like that unless you live in an old arcade game. I also like the hair of your other pics more, this is a bit "over the top". I like the glowing effects and skin texture.
3rd pic: Shoulder armor could use some connection with the rest. Straps, perhaps. I love the face, except for the nose. It seems a bit too bananaish. I think it could use some stronger lines. Nice atmosphere, nice hair too.
Its 1.13 where I live and I've got school tomorrow, the other 3 will follow ;s
I hope this was useful and not too harsh, see if you agree with it. These were just the first things that came to my mind. I'm not an expert you know ;P. I find your stuff pretty good, keep it up.

To remedy the stiffness, try working for a while with soft and transparent brushes. Work from big to small, and hold off for as long as possible on making hard edges or painting details. Focus on big shapes, color, and composition, until your picture is sketchy, but feels like everything necessary is in place. Then make your brush a tiny bit smaller and go over the image again, sharpening only what absolutely needs to be sharpened, building up to hardness with multiple transparent layers. Repeat as many times as necessary.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

In Praise of "Food As Reward"
My daughter Julia, who's 4 and in PreK, has asked me every morning this week, "How many more days until Friday?" (That's her at right.) She's out of her mind excited for today because her teacher is throwing the class a "Zip-Up Party." It's official: All 20 students can zip their coats by themselves. (This is reason for my daughter's teacher and the aides to party—the coat, hat, and mitten process can take them close to 20 minutes to complete.) The kids' long-promised prize? A big dose of pride… and a box of Munchkins. I'm not kidding myself; Julia's most psyched for a little donut. But that zipper is a pain—it's the kind that has two pull tabs—and she feels really good about herself for having mastered it. I know there's a lot of debate among parents and experts over the concept of rewarding accomplishments with food, but I'm here to say that in this case, it worked. Do you believe in giving your child a treat as a prize (or incentive) for a job well done? Curious to hear your thoughts.Add a Comment

I do believe that hard work should be rewarded, but with what? My husband and I try to reward our children with fun activities or no chore days. Sometimes though, they are so proud of themselves that you want them to have something to remember that moment.

Had my 2nd grade teacher not given out peanut butter salt water taffy as a prize for the quickest math answer on the chalk board, I never would have become any good in math (I'm an engineer). What is funny, though, is I hated that candy. I simply wanted to win something, anything, and so I got very (very) good at math. Today, I am pleased to say I love that candy. It took me probably 20 years to develop a love for it, though. LOL

Having been an elementary school teacher for almost 20 years, I believe that there is a time and place for EVERYTHING. Food for every reward, no. Food for some rewards, absolutely if it works–do it. However, we must give children the opportunity to practice NOT receiving the "food" and appreciating the beauty of meeting a goal. That is a life skill. Find your child's "money" and spend it wisely. My daughter's happens to be candy and my son's is his DS.
On January 17, 2010 at 11:53 pm
Honestly, I don't see the harm in it, as long as it's not all the time. Any type or reward, if constant, can become too much. If a kid thinks that any time they do something good, they will get candy, money, or a toy, you'll be hard pressed to not have them freak when you don't hand them something. A lot of times, praise is all you need, but on more challenging tasks, putting a carrot in front of a horse will get it to work that much harder.

In this instance, I wouldn't really be upset. But, in a home setting, I don't reward my children w/candy… ever. My kids are allowed to have candy at any time, but 9 out of 10 times, they CHOOSE the healthier food. My husband has a sweet tooth (me, not so much), and he had filled a giant bowl full of candy and left it on the kitchen table. That candy bowl was always there and my daughter (2-3 yrs old) RARELY grabbed any candy from it. She knew it was there, and knew she could have some, but she would rather have fruit than that candy because it was never held hostage from her. I think when we grow up w/that psyche that we get rewarded w/candy and junk food, we grow up with the idea that we NEED to do that as adults. I've heard far too many friends of mine say, "I had a really rough day, so I treated myself to a pound of cake and ate it in hiding." ??? I have friends whose kids would come over and see that bowl of candy and want EVERY PIECE because they were only allowed candy on special occasions. The parents would say, "OMG! How could you leave that on the table and her not want it ALL the time?" Well, it was available. I think if I held it back, my daughter would want it that much more because it would be "forbidden fruit".

Learned Helpless to Mastery Orientation Transition Process
Green, Lucinda R.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectEducational psychology; Mastery learning--Study and teaching; Helplessness (Psychology); Attribution (Social psychology); Motivation in education; Motivation (Psychology)
Background: Individuals who explain their success and failure experience in the Mastery Oriented attributional pattern of ability and sufficient or insufficient effort, experience pride in their successes, feel they can repeat successful experiences, see a relationship between outcome and effort, and are willing to try achievement tasks again. Individuals who explain their success and failure experience in the Learned Helpless attributional pattern attribute success to luck and ease of task, and failure to inability, experiencing shame in both their success and failure experiences. They feel they cannot repeat success experiences or correct failure experiences. They do not see a relationship between outcome and effort; and to avoid negative emotional consequences, they are not willing to try achievement tasks again. Because it is desirable to correct the debilitating consequence of lack of persistence and avoideance, the researcher looked at the causal factors that bring about a change in an individual from a state of Learned Helplessness to a state of Mastery Orientation by studying individuals who have experienced this change without experiencing intentional retraining strategies. Methodology: In order to explore and/or discover the full breadth of the LH to MO change phenomena, the researcher chose to explore this change through the recollections of individuals revisiting experiences that occurred as a consequence of simply going about their daily lives. The change phenomena, whatever they would eventually be found to be, were an enmeshed part of each participant's life story. Therefore, the researcher chose to use the Naturalistic research methodology that provides for observation in the natural setting from which the data arises to create joint construction of reality. Findings: Three patterns were found to be present across the participants: Pattern One: Accepting Person. Pattern Two: Critical Consciousness-Raising Event. Pattern Three: Sense of Responsibility. Conclusions: Based on the findings it becomes evident that it is wise for advisors and professors in college settings to reevaluate their attitudes toward students and to recognize the power of mutually respectful relationships in which students can feel safe and growth can occur. It would a1so be wise to set up classroom systems in which students can experience acceptance from their peers, learn to work cooperatively in noncompetitive environments, and have a place to practice new skills and ideas. It would also seem important to become involved in student's crisis circumstances and use them to teach responsibility and offer support and caring.

Brady, "We'll Know By Mid-training Camp" On Comfort Level With New WRs
A sign that football season is right around the corner is Tom Brady's appearance on the D&C Show on Boston radio's WEEI on Thursday morning. The New England Patriots quarterback talked about many things including the on-going OTAs, the departure of Wes Welker, his recent Kentucky Derby experience as well as his annual Best Buddies charity football game and bike ride to Cape Cod.
Tom Brady said on Thursday morning that working with the new WRs was a process and was on-going. (FILE:USPresswire)
But one of the biggest soundbytes of the morning is when Brady was asked about the work in progress with Danny Amendola and all the new Patriots wide receivers. Said Brady, "we try to get as many days throwing the ball as we can, that's where improvement comes from."
Brady spoke about Amendola stating that "Danny always had a lot of talent, when he was with the Rams he was always very productive," adding, "the more we throw, the better we will be." He added that "Danny has been fun to work with. I think he's come in with an understanding of the way we need to play."
Comfort Level Time Frame-
Asked by Gerry Callahan when that comfort level with the new receivers should start taking place, Brady didn't shy away, "It's a process", he said. Adding, "by mid-training camp we should know who I am most comfortable throwing to."
Brady also mentioned that certain WRs, Deion Branch, Wes Welker and Randy Moss were quick to pick up the offense very quickly and due to their football IQ it was easier for them. Perhaps this was an unspoken acknowledgement to Bill Belichick's statements during the draft that the two rookie WRs, Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce had very high football IQs.
By mid-August, barring any last minute charges or injuries, the WRs then getting the most reps and seeing the most passes should be the guys that should probably make the roster. Note to new WRs, go to Harvard Stadium on Friday night and even though it's a touch football game, it never hurts to work on the comfort/trust level with your QB.
Inevitable Wes Welker Questions-
Callahan admittedly asked Brady for what termed the "100th time" on how he felt losing his star receiver and best friend.  "He's moved on, he's in a good situation with another great team and a great quarterback. We always kind of kept in touch, we always will. He's one of my best friends and I wish him the best…. I used to get caught up in anger and frustration," Brady said. "But these things aren't up to me," he added. Brady said that nothing surprises him anymore and that its life in the NFL. "Nobody appreciated Wes more than me", he said.
Brady also tried to quell the inevitable comparisons between Welker and Amendola, noting that although the two had similar size and skill sets that it was unfair adding ""Wes was so productive for so long. I think it's unfair to compare anyone to him."
Brady appeared relaxed and confident heading into the next run of OTAs and mini-camps before training camp starts in earnest at the end of July. That is always a good thing if you're the Patriots.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. builders spent more on home construction in September, a gain that helped offset weakness in nonresidential building and government projects.
Construction spending grew 0.6 percent compared to August when spending had fallen 0.1 percent, the Commerce Department said Thursday.
The strength in September came from a 2.8 percent rise in home building. Spending on commercial projects such as office buildings and shopping centers fell 0.1 percent and spending on government projects was down 0.8 percent, the third monthly decline.
The September increase pushed construction spending to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $851.6 billion, 14.1 percent higher than a 12-year low hit in February 2011. But even with the gain, construction is at roughly half the level considered healthy.
Spending on residential construction climbed to an annual rate of $285.9 billion in September, up 20.9 percent from a year ago. Single-family construction, the biggest part of the market, was up 25.7 percent over the past year while apartment construction was up 48.9 percent.
That strength stood in contrast to spending on commercial projects such as office buildings, shopping centers and hotels, which was down 0.1 percent in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $294.6 billion. Spending on office buildings, shopping centers and hotels all fell in September.
Spending on government projects dropped for a third month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $271.1 billion, 4.2 percent lower than a year ago. That reflects the budget squeeze being felt at all levels of government.
For September, spending on state and local construction projects was down 0.3 percent to an annual rate of $247.7 billion while spending on federal government projects dropped 6.2 percent to an annual rate of $23.4 billion.

Electrochemical experiments, using nickel cathodes in light water solutions, were used to examine the enthalpy generated by electrically driving each electrode pair compared with ohmic controls contained within the same solution. For nickel wire cathodes, the peak power amplification (πNi) was in the range of 1.44±0.58. For spiral-wound nickel cathodes with platinum foil anodes, πNi was 2.27±1.02. By contrast, neither iron nor aluminum cathodes demonstrated excess heat. Driving these nickel samples beyond several volts, however, produced an exponential falloff of the power gain. This biphasic response to increasing input power may be consistent with the quasi-one-dimensional model of isotope loading and may contribute to the difficulty of reproducing these phenomena.

Not perfect, but pretty close...
Got these for trail and obstacle runs. On the whole, it's a spandex running short. Like it. It stays put and didn't ride up. They stayed light even when wet, didn't dry real fast but didn't feel soaked, and I didn't particularly notice I was wearing them, which is a big win. Zip pocket in the back is deep enough to carry an ID, maybe two gels -- it's actually a better size than many I've seen.
I did get a little bit of sag when they got wet, but just a little, and it's unfortunate there's no crotch gusset, of which I'm always a fan. Still, worthwhile, and I'm gonna grab another pair.

After some practice runs, the particle collider at CERN is getting ready to deliver physics data Wednesday for the first time in 27 months.
The European nuclear research agency collides two high-power proton beams early this morning, marking the beginning of this year's Large Hadron Collider physics data collection.
Squeezing more bunches of protons onto the particle accelerator's beams increases the data-gathering rate--and the odds the Higgs boson will turn up at CERN.
Chance of discovering new physical phenomena with Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator leads CERN to postpone energy-doubling upgrade.
Large Hadron Collider engineers are ironing out wrinkles in a tremendously complicated machine that consumes about the same power as all Geneva.
With the Large Hadron Collider experiments under way, physicists are getting new data to anchor their theories.
After a delay from an electrical hiccup, researchers at CERN successfully operate the Large Hadron Collider and see "beautiful tracks" of colliding protons.
It was risky to run a gigantic particle accelerator up to its highest energy level yet in such a visible way. But it's time for lower barriers between scientists and the public.
The LHC today set the record for the strongest ever successful particle collisions within a laboratory environment, and the record for number of exclamation marks in a tweet
Large Hadron Collider circulates beams at 3.5 tera-electron-volts, bringing it closer to CERN's goal of conducting research into fundamental physics.

ALERT: A few Spoliers!*
Rating 3.5/5 (Good but not exceptional)
Is this a bird? Is this a plane?
No, he is as human as we are but drops out of the sky from a snazzy looking Flying spaceship. …Bare naked on our Mother earth with just a twinkling pendant on his neck.
But why did he come here?…'God' knows..!
'That' (GOD) exactly seems to be the premise of this comedy caper which is packaged in a science fiction format where the latter is unfortunately given the go-by and we are just left with a human looking alien who is bewildered, shocked and aghast in our' Godly' world, as he slowly learns and unlearns things in his meandering journey from Rajasthan to Delhi.
Director Hirani believes that the diversity of our faiths, religious practices, traditions and language must seem shockingly different to an alien visitor and these contradictions are given a comic satirical treatment into some light hearted fun. There are many such 'ha-ha' moments with the goggle eyed flappy eared Aamir as 'pk', in various costumes who charms you and entertains you…Some very 'spot-on, 'some equally frivolous…
That's the first half, so I thought the story will mature with time…
But unfortunately the second half seems more muddled with the alien man turning into a kind of social crusader who wants to unmask a Hindu Godman just to get his 'remote' back… This Godmen theme is neither a new territory nor a solid one and besides, the premise of this Godman to build a temple for the 'Shivjis pendant' is unbelievably shallow.
Yet , all that is fine, Mr Director Hirani..
All the idiosyncrasies of this religious world may seem funny and strange to an alien, but not necessarily to Indian audience!! Did you forget us?. .Heck, we are born and living here…Many of us have thought of Aamir's own queries in different ways and even found our own 'answers'…
But unfortunately for pk and us, he never meets anyone with his half his intelligence. Mostly they are dumb bigots who ridicule him and chase him down the alleys violently.
That's not on, as far as I am concerned.
Satire on the present is OK, but where are the answers?... Did this humanoid not pick up any good stuff, meaningful principles at all from us poor earthlings then? Well, for that matter, nor did we learn anything useful from this specimen of scientifically advanced humanoid come from light years away …What a waste of opportunity!...
And then there was no need to be so self-deprecatory in the end, summing up our various deficiencies in monologue speech in pucca Bhojpuri..Did he not say in the beginning, they never speak on his planet?...Oh well…
Every lacuna and loophole in the script seems to be washed away in the 'LOL' moments and in the few 'lump in the throat' scenes. Anushka is alright but her interrupted –and- resumed love story just left me cold, being not fleshed out sensibly.
The director has not taken this theme seriously, so why should we? But then it was one…That's where the film left me semi satisfied.
See it for Aamir's charming performance, although towards the end even that seemed tedious.

RAPE: The Shame and the Shameless
Like everyone else these days, I dread to read this news of horror in the mornings.
I wish it would fade away..Oh, it does but not forever. There is a deceitful lull and sure enough there is a spurt..And the commotion and the usual indignant voices...
While the no of incidences of rape and violence against hapless women and even more shockingly against girl-child continues to make unpalatable news , one is now forced to think of the cause and effect phenomenon.
This particular crime of shaming the woman's dignity and vilifying her character is not new..It was glamorized from the days of 70s Hindi Cinema and certain villains were even believed to be veterans at it..( For eg, Ranjit, Madanpuri, Prem Chopra etc)
We say that it is this day and age which has caused a quantum leap in crime against women.But It has nothing to do with less reportage then or more publicity now as claimed hollowly by some.
It is becoming a crime of epidemic proportions, monstrous in its unsparing nature.
What I say next may not find many takers, and certainly it's not a modern, popular opinion. I may sound orthodox or too old fashioned by nature and may even sound moralistic or preachy, but a little moral never hurt anyone. Especially in such immoral times.
There is a lot of undesirable 'connections' and 'mingling' taking place in social circuits of the Party/ Pubbing culture and flaunted as modern and civilized urban living, ostensibly called "COOL and Happening" euphemistically. Oh, there is lot of truth in it, I am afraid and.... in the widely prevalent dating culture of youth which they have adopted in most urban centres.
Both such 'aping west' phenomenon and 'selling of Romance the Valentine's day's way' , using widespread social media has largely contributed to never before heard spurt in courtship and breakups and innumerable social and criminal fall-outs because of the same.
The irresponsible behaviour of the "haves" in flaunting their wild and irresponsible nocturnal habits would certainly have caused "have-nots" and fringe criminal elements in society into thinking "if it suits them, it is OK for us as well!"
Strange logic? Criminal minds ?Yes..... but there are opportunities aplenty when you count the cases of courting couples attacked in lonely spots in and around the cities, esp in the wee hours of the day.
There is no denial that today's society has lost a lot of moral nerve and ethical values.
All the conventional and safe practices of the past generation, which included separation of boys from girls till marriage to some extent are dubbed 'silly' and dismissed and even ridiculed as 'UNCOOL' and 'Stupid'.
The situation has come to such a pass that even schools have turned into horror homes and teachers as depraved monsters. And then there is the widespread and uncontrolled use of Internet porn too, which has been made easily accessible to everyone on their mobile phones , which almost everyone seems to possess.
Always misuse outscores the right use and negative results outrun the positives...
Unfortunate but true.
The very people who rush to streets protesting RAPE in bold banners today, what fundamental change in their lifestyle are they prepared to adopt to remain safe?
..Are they even coming half way to meet the authorities?
When cops are near the couples on beaches or parks and keep tabs on them with CCTV and all, we protest this as "Moral police"; and when they are not around and goons take over and attack us, we blame it as lack of security…
What are the authorities to do, then?..Aren't we putting them on the horns of an unenviable dilemma?
We talk of 'deterrent' punishment and some even emotionally suggest castration, but such cruel punishments will never find the nod of law in our democratic setup. There will be an immediate stay order in some court, even if a Govt finds courage to pass such a law. They will first complain of misuse of law.
To add credence to the 'misuse' theory, already many false cases have been foisted on men by jilted women after years of co-habitation too!
Generally, this country lags far far behind in Policing and public security; besides sensitivity of the police officers in handling such cases is as good as nonexistent. They are but mere puppets in the hands of powerful politicians who always have the last word as to who should be arrested and who should be let loose. Why, some accused have even hailed from their families. So what can be expected from such immoral rulers as anything but fence eating the crop itself?
'Responsible living', 'disciplined life-style' and add a bit of grand-ma wisdom of 'come home early before sunset, do not be too friendly with all men' etc , might even just work for many urban young ladies...
Thrills may have their place for the young ladies but then so does lurking Danger in the midnights when you wobble around drunkenly or drugged to the nostrils and found in the company of other men in questionable circumstances!
Crime is just waiting to happen!
"Behave", our elders used to say, "do not take Risks", they preached. "Have some shame!" they shrilled....they advised "and lead simple, morally correct life devoid of liquor and drugs and live happily longer..
What's so wrong with it, I can't, for the world of me understand. May be I am not a PARTY ANIMAL...Never thought the word ANIMAL suited me anyway!.
Is adopting a "safe, responsible living" devoid of "intoxicated 'happy hours' ", asking too much?..If it is, well then it's too bad, but that's the way it is.

Up Above The Hills ..So High!
We had been planning a good family trip from a long time since Chinmay went away to Bangalore and I had been out of the country for nearly 5 months and just came back two weeks ago.
As such I was on leave and planned a visit to Madurai- Kodaikanal and Palani and back to Chennai via Madurai.
As per plans and bookings done , we left on the evening of 31st May by flight( Jet Konnect) from Chennai to Madurai.
It is a small craft and a 75 mins flight. This was Shyamala and Sanmathi's first flight experience and they were really thrilled and enjoyed the novelty.
We reached Madurai and a Tavera vehicle which stayed with us throughout the next 3 days picked us up at the airport and escorted to Hotel Saratha Rajans (www.hotelsaratharajans.com.com/)
After the usual bustle that accompanies even a 100 rupee special ticket and temple's hot interiors ( why no blowers even, let alone AC?),we still had very good darshan of Devi and swami and left for Kodaikanal in Tavera by 10 am.
We had some pit stops and 'pic'-stops enroute the lovely uphill ride as weather cooled down considerably and were able to roll down the windows and enjoy the cool breeze waft around us.It made such a difference after the 'HOT' Madurai. We visited the famous waterfalls on the way ( Liril?) twice, once each way.
We reached Kodaikanal by 2 pm and checked into a small pretty hotel on the Main road called Apple Valley, which the owner proudly calls it as a Resort..That is 'resorting' to over-ambitiousness!!...(http://applevalley.in/)
Went to near by Hotel Astoria which is a pretty good veg south Indian restaurant for snacks and lunch. .
Then ...We had a pleasant boat ride on the Lake in the falling evening light, after a 30-min wait and we could see the rush had diminished on this last Sunday before the schools start (for others...My daughter's school starts next week!).
There is a small lovely veggie restaurant called "Rasoi" next to Hotel Astoria
This 2 women + 1 man eatery is run by a Gujju madam and we were treated to some hot aloo parathas and very tasty veggie dishes...
Check it out next time > Rasoi !
Next day morning started at 8.15 am and we went in our 4x4 van to see Pine forest, Pillar rocks, Bryant park, Coakers walk and such beautiful visiting spots , normal on the tourist route.
We had lunch at the newly found Rasoi, and had Gujarati and Punjabi thali. Quality is again good but more quantity means more price!
We also managed to visit small but very lovely shrine called Kurunji andavar ( Murugan) temple in Kodai as well as Sathya sai mandir called "Sai shruthi" near the lake, where we prayed and also sang a few bhajans ourselves to an absolutely empty hall!( afternoon 3.30 pm).
The evening was enveloped in thick mist and it rained a bit later in the night but not too heavily, and thankfully not disrupting any program of ours! Temp range on both days was around 16 to 28 deg C...
We took many scenic pics on these 2 day/ nights in Kodai and I have uploaded some of them on my facebook page as well as some here:
Onward we went to Palani leaving Kodai by 8.15 am next morning. The journey, in today's lexicon is AWESOME!
Thick mist laden hills, lush greenery and chilly air on the road made it a pleasant climb-down to Palani mount.
The waiting at cable car queue at Palani temple below kills you . It was very hot and shockingly so after Kodai we had just left.
After reaching the palani temple above by 12 noon (waiting 45 mins? below) we were told temple closed at 12 noon and we had to wait one more hour for the shrine to open. More waiting after buying 50 bucks spl tickets!
To ward off all our fatigue, we had a Beautiful darshan of Dandayudhapani and we had some archanai and such normal activities completed, paying off an archak (many archaks keep jostling you there!) ( You pray and they prey???).
Another disappointment was we had to wait almost 1.5 hours for cable car service to resume as they promptly closed the service at 1 pm. This is as tragic as it is ridiculous leaving us all hot and sweaty up on the hills till 2.45 pm..
And yeah, Palani hill (1068 ft ele.) is no Kodai kanal(6998 ft elevation) in temperature!
We of course made use of this time by having tasty 'puliyogarai and sweet pongal prasadam', drank water and refreshed ourselves in the mean time!
We could not have good lunch anywhere in Palani as it was 3.30 pm by the time cable car took us down the hills. The ride up and down is also a very welcome sight and worth doing too!...There is some crazy 15 rupee and 50 rupee separate ticket lines there for the same cable cars, which I could never figure out why, but took the safe 50 buck line anyway. I don't know if it made any difference in the end.
Apart from the superb deity and his blessings( our kula daiavam/ mane devaru is subramanya...But actually Kukke subramanya, anyway!), I daresay Palani was not one of the best pilgrimage spots I have visited as they waste nearly 2 to 3 hours of yours in the day time by these interruptions and waiting period! I learnt later there is a parallel "cable train" service which our driver informed us as a better one... AFTER we came down!..Huh!
We left for Madurai straight and reached the same Hotel and spent a relaxing night and checked out for airport by 10 am next day after having a good sumptuous breakfast there.
Chinmay had to leave by a bus back to Bangalore to resume his duties.
Our Tavera Driver for the last 3 days, Mr Vetri dropped us off and he had served us well.
Our plane left Madurai at 12.30 and reached at 1.15 pm at Chennai and we were home by 2.30 pm.
That about sums up a memorable trip for the four of us..
Thanks for your patience in reading this through!

Chennai-Sri Kalahasthi Road trip
A longstanding wish to see Sri kalahasthi , a famous panchabhootha sthalam of Lord Shiva was realized yesterday.
My son Chinmay and I left with a Driver at 5 am from home in our car. It is a 130 km trip from Chennai to the town in Chittoor distt AP
This was a very cool misty day and we made good speed in the early hours of Saturday to reach the Tirupathi Highway via Koyambedu-Annanagar-Red hills route. The road traffic was sparse too
We moved through misty paddy fields after Tada border town and it was a pleasant welcome experience.
The road is very good too.
We reached the already bustling temple town of Sri Kalahasthi by 7.50 am, with no break( 2hrs, 50 mins).
As we were quite hungry and had not seen any worthy restaurant on the way, we had idli vada breakfast in Saravana Bhavan near temple. It is quite clear from the ambience and taste that the brand name of Hotel saravana bhavan ( HSB) is being misused by many fakes and this is just one of them. Later I came to know that there are seven fakes of this name in this town, but no original!
The car parking guys forced us to keep mobiles in the car itself saying camera phones are not allowed!
The touts catch you in Car park( 60 bucks for parking!) and I was sold two oil vilakku lamps, and bilva leaves mala etc there in the car park itself for appeasing the Rahu-Kethu moorthys outside the temple. We bought a packet of milk along with it too and stood in queue and we saw there are rats which feed on all these among these statuettes boldly. (There are various detailed poojas to rahu kethu dosha nivarana worth 300/- to 1500/- here for those interested)
|SPECIAL POOJA @ Nagari Kumara Mandapam
|SPECIAL DARSHAN FOR Two(2) persons
|SPECIAL V.I.P. POOJA (Inside the Temple)
|THIS POOJA WILL PERFORM INSIDE the TEMPLE
After offering the milk and mala and kumkum to Rahu -Kethu, we had darshan of Ganapathi in a small basement on the road outside and were given some avalakki prasadam there.
After climbing a few steep steps we reach the abode of Main temple.
To avoid rush as it was nearing rahu kalam in the 'dharma darshan', we bought 50 bucks each worth special tickets and went in through various corridors smoothly. En route we prayed to Subramanya ( our kuladevathe) and went in.
The moola shivalingam is Vayu lingeshwara in the panchabhootas.
As we missed the exit then, we had a second round of darshan in special line once more!
then we pass through many small 'templets' of Narayana, Dakshina moorthy etc on the way to Gnana prasunnambika abode, the consort of Lord Shiva here.Very nicely decked up Devi statue blesses us.
After completing this Darshan we came out and purchased prasadam like Laddu and vada ( Big tasty laddus like Tirupathi available here too!).
There is a small hillock next to the temple, where the famous Bedara Kannappa legend seems to have played out as per mythology, the devoted hunter who offered his own eyes to the lord. It was already quite a walk in the main temple by now and I was a little tired.. My son Chinmay went up the hillock climbing the 200 odd steps and returned after the visit, while I waited at the bottom! He described what he saw there as having seen a small temple and some very nice views from atop.
By now we were hungry again (10:15am) as the morning breakfast was all but digested. We had a Masala dosa in a Ganesh Bhavan which is a much better restaurant than Saravana bhavan , the earlier one.
Snaps on the street outside the temple:
Well, the next phase of our misadventure is something I would like to forget in a hurry!
We had decided to see Tada falls sometime back and took a turn in from the main road..
OHHHH...It is a very long road, ceases to be road as we near the deeper forest and becomes a muddy, rocky surface and we bucked and rocked the way to AP forest gate who charged 60 bucks to go inside..What they did not say was INSIDE is some 5 km of trekking route and full of hard rock and sharp stones strewn on the hilly path.
See pics below:
Well, it is a Trekker's path and you need to geared up for it!
As we returned homewards, the Saturday High way traffic caught up with us and we had to go to Lunch in Anna nagar by 3.15 pm at HOT CHIPS restaurant and actually returned home by 4:30 pm.
If we had avoided the Tada loop, we could have been home by 2 pm and that is the correct duration for just going to Sri Kalahasthi and back!

Sachin: When The The Tireless Retired
There was a pop song in my youth in the 70s-80s that went something like
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
That's all we can say as the legend Sachin Tendulkar says farewell to cricket and hangs up his bat today.
Sachin, the batsman was phenomenal , so majestic and unflinching when he wielded his bat for 24 years for India. His life was in numbers and numbers was his life...
Yet when the moment came to go back to pavilion for the last time, he was so dear and soft. He thanked everyone who had made his life what it is today. There was not one dry eye in the stadium or outside.
A truly humble giant, despite his short stature!
No doubt, one could say through out his life, he got preferential treatment and Mumbai and Industry lobby had so strongly rallied behind him that his place was guaranteed for nearly a quarter of century. So much so that the Selectors in his lifetime had only to select the rest of the ten players..Sachin was ALWAYS there.
And he delivered, match after match, year after year, creating a status of a demigod that he was something that did not belong to this planet. The records he created may never be broken, but the the years he spent out in the middle entertaining one and will not be easily forgotten either.
Sachin tendulkar's exit marks the end of an era for us, may be, and we only hope and pray there will be other golden boys with bat and ball for the next generations to worship.

ಚೆನ್ನೈ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯೊತ್ಸವ - ನವೆಂಬರ್ ೧, ೨೦೧೩:
ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಮತ್ತು ಮದ್ರಾಸ್ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯ, ಚೆನ್ನೈ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನೆ ನವೆಂಬರ್ ೧ ರಂದು ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯೊತ್ಸವ ಸಮಾರಂಭ ನೆರೆವೇರಿತು. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಂಘಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳಾದ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಕೂಟ, ಬೆಸೆಂಟ್ ನಗರ್ , ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸಂಘ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಬಳಗದ ಸದಸ್ಯ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳು ಸಕ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಿಸಿದರು. ಈ ಸಮಾರಂಭವನ್ನು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಕವಿ ಕುವೆಂಪು ರವರ ಸ್ಮೃತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಏರ್ಪಡಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು.
ಗಣಪತಿ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆಯಿಂದ ಆರಂಭಗೊಂಡ ಈ ಸಮಾರಂಭದ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷತೆಯನ್ನು ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಭಟ್ ಅರ್ತಿಕಜೆ ವಹಿಸಿದ್ದರೆ, ಮುಖ್ಯ ಅತಿಥಿಯಾಗಿ ಖ್ಯಾತ ಸಾಹಿತಿ-ವಾಗ್ಮಿ ಶ್ರೀ ವೈ ವಿ ಗುಂಡೂರಾವ್ ಉಪಸ್ಥಿತರಿದ್ದರು.
ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ತಮಿಳ್ನಾಡು ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ ನ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೆ.ಪಿ.ಆಚಾರ್, ಮತ್ತು ಮದರಾಸ್ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದ ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಭಾಗದ ಮುಖ್ಯ್ಸಸ್ಥೆ ಡಾ, ತಮಿಳ್ ಸೆಲ್ವಿ ಯವರು ವೇದಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಜರಿದ್ದು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮಗಳನ್ನೂ ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದರು.
ಡಾ. ತಮಿಳ್ ಸೆಲ್ವಿಯವರು ನೀಡಿದ ಕುವೆಂಪು ಕೃತಿ " ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಾಯಣ ದರ್ಶನಮ್" ಬಗ್ಗೆಯ ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನ ಅವರ ಸ್ವಂತ ಭಾಷಾಪಾಂಡಿತ್ಯ,ಸ್ವಾನುಭವ ಮತ್ತು ಸುಲಲಿತ ವಾಗ್ಝರಿಯ ಪ್ರತೀಕವಾಗಿದ್ದು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಕುವೆಂಪು ರವರ ನೀತಿ ದ್ಯೋತಕವಾದ ಈ ಮೇರು ಕೃತಿಯ ಪುಟಗಳನ್ನು ಮನವರಿಕೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಟ್ಟಂತಾಯಿತು.
ಕಲಾವಿದರ ಮನರಂಜನಾ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿ. ರಾಜೇಶ್ ರವರ ಸುಮಧುರ ಪಿಟೀಲ್ ವಾದನ ಸಂಗೀತ ಪ್ರೇಮಿಗಳ ಮನ ಸೆಳೆದರೆ ಕಿರಿಯ ಚಿ.ವಂಶಿಯ ಕೊಳಲು ವಾದನದ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆ ಬೆರಗಾಗುವಂತಿದ್ದು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತ ಶ್ಲಾಘನೆ ಪಡೆಯಿತು.
ಕು.ನಿಧಿ ಮತ್ತು ಶ್ರೀಮತಿ.ಶ್ಯಾಮಲಾರವರ ಯುಗಳ ಗೀತೆ: " ತೆರೆದಿದೆ ಮನೆ ಓ ಬಾ ಅತಿಥಿ" ಮಧುರವಾದ ದನಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂಡಿಬಂದು ಎಲ್ಲರ ಗಮನ ಸೆಳೆದು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಪ್ರಶಂಸೆಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರವಾಯಿತು.
ಭರತನಾಟ್ಯವಾಡಿದ ನಾಟ್ಯ ಮಯೂರಿ ಖ್ಯಾತಿಯ ಕು|| ಪ್ರಿಯದರ್ಶಿನಿಯವರ ನೃತ್ಯ ಮನೋಹರವಾಗಿದ್ದು ನಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಕಣ್ಮನಗಳನ್ನು ತಣಿಸಿತು.
ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ವಸಂತ್ ಹೆಗ್ಡೆ ಮತ್ತಿತರ ಹಲವು ಪುರುಷ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹಿಳಾ ಸದಸ್ಯ ಸದಸ್ಯೆಯರು ಕುವೆಂಪುರವರ "ದೋಣಿ ಸಾಗಲಿ" ಮುಂತಾದ ಕೆಲವು ಕವನಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿ ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ರಂಜಿಸಿದರು.
ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣಭಟ್ ರವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಭಾಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮದೇ ಆದ ವಿಶೇಷ ಶೈಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಚುಟುಕಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿ ನಗೆ ಹೊನಲು ಹರಿಸಿದರೆ, ಸಮಾರಂಭದ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಅತಿಥಿಯಾಗಿ ಆಗಮಿಸಿದ್ದ ಶ್ರೀ ವೈ ವಿ ಗುಂಡೂರಾಯರು ಭಾಷಾ ಸಾಮರಸ್ಯ, ವೈವಿಧ್ಯತೆ, ಸಂಗೀತದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರುವ ಪೇಚಾಟದ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳು ಹೀಗೆ ಹತ್ತು ಹಲವಾರು ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಮಯ ವಿಚಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಸ್ಯ ಲೇಪಿತವಾದ ಶೈಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವರ್ಣಿಸಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಸಮಯಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿಯ ಮಾತುಗಳಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ನಗೆಗಡಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಳುಗಿಸಿಯೂ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿದ್ದ ಸಂದೇಶ ಮತ್ತು ವಿವೇಕ ವಾಣಿಯನ್ನು ಒತ್ತಿ ಹೇಳಲು ಮರೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ.
ಸಮಾರಂಭದ ನಂತರ ಅಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ರುಚಿಕರ ಉಪಹಾರವನ್ನು ಏರ್ಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಅದನ್ನು ಸವಿದು ತೃಪ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗುವಂತಾಯಿತು.
ಕೆಲವು ಛಾಯಾಚಿತ್ರಗಳು:

Bad PUC, bad! PUCs not doing their job, scolds Columbia Law School
Quick take: State public utility commissions have a long list of legal and regulatory tools to encourage energy efficiency, according to a study from Columbia Law School. But they're not using them. Scan the article below for some of the things the study says they should be doing. We wish the study would have delved further into innovative business models to allow proper recovery by utilities -- or, better yet, to go beyond mechanisms that merely true things up to ways to give utilities real incentives to push energy efficiency. And while we're wishing on a star, we might as well wish that more PUCs would take a hard look at performance-based business models, as advocated by Paul Alvarez. - Jesse Berst

"Searching for Persistence of Infection in Lyme Disease" is a highly innovative Bench-to- Bedside research project that could have an extraordinarily significant impact on the field of Lyme disease. Although antibiotic therapy is clinically effective in treating the symptoms of Lyme disease for most patients early in the course of disease, a significant number of patients who receive therapy report persistent symptoms. A range of theories have been proposed for why this occurs. Moreover, commonly available tests for human Lyme disease are not able to determine persistent infection after antibiotic therapy. Program Director, Linden Hu, MD (Associate Professor of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine and Associate Professor of Microbiology, Sackler School of Biomedical Graduate Sciences) has begun an unconventional study examining whether xenodiagnosis (the feeding of uninfected Ixodes ticks on infected animals) can be used to determine when persistent infection occurs in humans. Xenodiagnosis has been used for other difficult to diagnose diseases such as Chagas disease and can sometimes definitively identify the presence of an organism in animals where other techniques cannot

Steelers: the world's team
Post-Gazette staff writer Moriah Balingit spent most of the past week covering the United Nations One Young World conference, where 1,300 delagates from 180 countries converged on Pittsburgh. Naturally, a few of them were international Steelers fans. Balingit talked to one, Ray Farnan, of London.
From the bit of world travel I've done since I moved to Pittsburgh, (and it's not much on a journalist's salary), I've learned you can find Steelers fans all over the world. A couple of years ago, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I was being driven to a food tour when I told the driver that I was from Pittsburgh.
"Peetsburgh?!" he exclaimed, jolting me out of my travel-induced grogginess. "Los Acereros!"
I learned that he was a "fanatico" because his favorite soccer team shared the black and gold color motif.
In fact, the Post-Gazette has documented this phenomenom at a bar in Rome, Italy and in Mexico.
So it would make sense, then, in the mix of 1,300 or so young delegates that landed in the 'burgh earlier this week, a handful of international Steelers fans would be the in the mix. Saturday, I was scanning the convention floor looking for a local subject for our One Young Person profile series when my eyes landed on the Steelers logo. I walked over to the gentlemen in the black and yellow anorak and asked him if he was a Pittsburgher.
His English accent gave him away. Nope, he was Ray Farnan, a 24-year-old accountant from London. And yes, he is a Steelers fan.
To be clear, football -- the American variety -- is growing in popularity in England, where the NFL now plays two annual games at Wembley Stadium that sell out almost instantly. In fact, lucky for Mr. Farnan, the Steelers are scheduled to play there next year against the Minnesota Vikings.
The way Mr. Farnan tells it, he was probably destined to be a Steelers fan. A native of Sunderland, England, his father outfitted him in a Steelers shirt for the first time when he was two for reasons he's never discerned. As a teenager, he started playing the Madden video game and fell for the Steelers' blitz defense. That's where the he and his brothers' love for the team was born.
But he said it really blossomed when he learned more about the Steel City. His own city was once the base of a thriving ship-building industry.
"We found out that they had the industrial background," he said. "There's a lot of similarity there ... having a community that's built on hard work."
And he's found the people of Pittsburgh to just as friendly as the people in his hometown. "There's just an openness there," he said.

It's often suggested that fantasy baseball owners pay little attention to spring training stats when crafting their draft strategy. I agree - 98 percent of the time. In the case of MLB prospects working towards a promotion and multiple veteran players competing for the starting gig, I believe their spring training production means a little bit more. Related: Halpin's Twins' fantasy preview This is where Minnesota Twins' center fielder Aaron Hicks enters the picture. The 2008 first-round pick hit .286 (.384 OBP) with 100 runs, 13 home runs, 61 RBI, and 32 stolen bases for Double-A New Britain last season. The Twins added Hicks to its 40-man roster back in late-November. In the two weeks that followed, Minnesota dealt center fielders Denard Span, to the Nationals, and Ben Revere, to the Phillies. This opened the door for Hicks to compete for the starting major league gig without Triple-A service. He's currently in a three-way battle with Darin Mastroianni and Joe Benson for the job...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Royals claimed catcher George Kottaras off waivers from the Oakland Athletics on Friday and designated infielder Tony Abreu for assignment. The 29-year-old Kottaras will compete for a backup job behind Salvador Perez in Kansas City. Kottaras hit .220 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs in 249 career games with the Red Sox, Brewers and Athletics. He was acquired by Oakland on July 29 and then played in four games during the A's divisional series against the Detroit Tigers. The 28-year-old Abreu spent most of last season at Triple-A Omaha, hitting .257 in 22 games with the big league club.

Just deliciousPosted on 02 / 11 / 2015
Went here after having visited the synagogue of Budapest, just few meters from Hummus Bar.
I was welcomed by a very nice waiter and felt immediately comfortable in there. The guest area is divided in 2 levels and nicely decorated, with cool quotes written on the wall.
I sat down, another nice waitress came, brought me the menue and a free mint tea. I ordered a home-made lemonade and the Falafel main dish. This includes Falafel, 2 fresh and warm Pita bread and then one can chose 2 side dishes from Hummus, salad, rice or...some other option. I took Hummus and salad. I was in Falafel-Hummus-heaven and superfull afterwards. Nonetheless I ordered a Baklava as dessert - also very nice and came with coconut flakes on top (never had it like this before, but was really tasty).
I can only recommend going there :)

Wind, Whiteouts, and Wonder...or not
March 20, 2011
The gust struck hard from the south, packing some of the three feet of newly accumulated snow into every crinkle of my bibs, parka and overmitts. The dogs had been breaking trail through it anyway, heading due west onto the wide open tundra between Sushana and Lower East Fork. How they could know of any remnant of the trail seemed magical, but these dogs do amazing things. Even when trails blow away, dogs can still feel the pack beneath their paws; can smell the scent of an old dog track, even if it's a few feet off.
And now the sun melts down the snow inch by inch. And the moose tread our trails to pieces. And the plows take their blades to the road. Already I think of the first stars of September and the beginning of darkness, the dogs' coats thickening…

Edward Koplan
I completed your photo request for Edward Koplan. Mr. Koplan in in the grave farthest to the left in the photo. There is no named engraved on the stone. I find this very unusual because this is a prime grave in a desirable section, with a preset granite marker next to the roadway. I don't know how much it would have cost, but it would have been very expensive in this location. It seems odd that after spending that kind of money not to have the name engraved. I questioned the location and had them look it up twice. I was still uncomfortable, so I had the office look up the person on the marker next to Mr Koplan's marker and confirmed that he (Mr. Pollock) was in GOC, Lot 9, Space 7. If you are related to Mr. Koplan you might want to call the cemetery and question the lack of engraving.

Collierville woman robbed outside home
A Collierville woman was held up at gun point Friday night outside her home.
The robbery was similar to one that took place in Germantown a week earlier.
The Collierville victim, returning from work in Memphis, had just parked her car around 9:30 p.m. when she was approached by a man holding a silver pistol, Collierville police said. The gunman, with a scarf covering his face, stole her purse and ran off firing several shots.
The man jumped in a black sedan with at least one other person and the car sped off.
"We think it's a strong possibility they followed her home from work," said Cpt. Chris Locke.
The robbery occurred on the 3500 block of East Taplow Way, and the woman was not hurt.
In the Germantown robbery on Aug. 8, a business owner arrived home around 8:30 p.m. from work, pulled into his garage and was held up by two men armed with handguns.
The men took an undetermined amount of cash and payroll checks. As they fled, the robbers fired at least three rounds into the air before jumping into a beige Nissan sedan, police said.
Locke said Collierville detectives will be contacting Germantown police to see if the two are related.
Anyone with information is asked to call Collierville police at 457-2500.

Up To 50% Off Top Beauty & Fragrance In Our Summer Sale - Ends Monday. Save now
Amazing foundation. Expensive, yes. Worth it? Yes!iona, Japan
I have suffered from post pill acne, it covers everything pretty nicely and doesn't cause new spots! It is hard to not have nice skin but inika feels light and natural. I was using Estee LAuder double wear, but Inikia is so much better!
I'm wanting to buy more but not sure of which shade I will choose but it will definitely be Inika mineral foundation!
Fantastic I love it, it's so hot where i live, every foundation runs off my face, but this stays on all day I don't get any problems with blocked poor's my skin has improved and it covers my dark circles. I am way past 50 and it does not show my lines, it also protects my skin from the sun AMAZING STUFF! I highly recommend it.Elaine, Spain
I have been using mineral foundations for a while now and have tried every brand going. INIKA is by far the best and I can honestly say I will never change! It not only gives great coverage with a kabuki brush, but it lasts all day and night! I also never ever get spots anymore! It doesn't settle in fine lines like some powders, everyone says I look radiant when wearing it but can't tell I'm wearing makeup! RESULT!Esther, Bradford
I've been using mineral foundations for about four years now and I have tried different brands. But INIKA is the best! It has a great coverage, looks very natural, stays on my skin for the whole day and makes it glow. It has a light mattifying finish, but doesn't make my face "dead" and dry. And my skin has really improved after two weeks of usage. Very good product.Nataly, Oslo

Buying Checks Made From Recycled Paper
Still buying and using paper checks from your bank? There is a better way! While some banks provide checks and checkbooks for free, most of them charge a small fortune for a book of checks. Luckily, there are plenty of companies offering checks at discounted rates far below whatever your bank is charging you, and there are even a bunch of them offering checks made from post-consumer recycled paper — perfect for us environmentalists who still need to write a check once in a while! Besides, who needs checks made from freshly cut-down trees? I wrote a post about this a few years ago, but here is an updated list of some companies offering recycled paper checks for you to check out:
- Checks Unlimited
- Check Gallery
- Checks in the Mail
- Check Advantage
- Checks Superstore
Although I recommend that if you need to buy checks that you buy ones made from recycled paper, I also suggest you look into managing and paying all or most of your bills online. It eliminates paper altogether, saves you money on checks and postage, and results in less trash in need of disposal or recycling. Check and see if your bank offers online bill pay for free, and if they don't consider changing banks; there are plenty of them that do!Like this post?

Hang tight!
Recipe by Cheryl King
"When you're planning a party, and your oven is going to be full, try this party mix in the slow cooker. Tastes as good but doesn't take up oven space!
You may make a larger batch, but cooking time will need to be increased.
If you like your bar-b-que party mix more bar-b-q-y, try increasing the liquid by 1/2 or double. Keep in mind that doing this may increase cooking time. Serve immediately or store in air tight containers."

I only made one change--I used vegetable oil instead of butter. I chose to bake this in the oven instead of use my crockpot. Baked at 250*, I let this bake for an hour, stirring every fifteen minutes. I did not try this myself but the kids RAVED about it. They ate half a batch in one sitting!
I did not care for this recipe. Came out too mushie--even tried to
broil in the oven to get rid of sogginess--didn't

I wanted to love this recipe. However, I found that the cereal just wasn't as crispy as it is when baked in the oven, rather some of it was a little chewy. The barbecue flavor was good, but pretty light. I might try it again, but if I do I will bake it in the oven rather than using the slow cooker.

Pile it into a tomato half, load it into a wrap, or spread it on bread. Chicken salad does it all.
Broccoli salad makes a great side dish or a light main dish on a warm night.
