The cluster of stapled papers made a soft whisper as Richard E. Probert slid them across a restaurant table.
Theres 272 names there, he said, settling in for lunch at Vitos Gourmet on Public Square.
Each name is a casualty of war Fort Drum soldiers who died while fighting the global war on terror and local soldiers and Marines serving elsewhere who died in the war.
But they are more than names to Mr. Probert, director and founder of the Sackets Harbor Vocal Arts Ensemble. Behind each name is a story of blood, sweat, patriotism and the Fort Drum community.
These are our friends, our neighbors, he said. Weve seen them in grocery stores, weve had a beer with them, had dates and relationships. Were simply not aware how many of these folks have died killed in action.
Mr. Probert will honor them the best way he can: through music.
Remembering the Fallen: A Concert in Memoriam, part of the Trinity Concert Series, is at 3 p.m. next Sunday May 5 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 227 Sherman St.
Mr. Probert has chosen two pieces for the concert one, a plea for peace; the other, a requiem for the living.
This is going to be a very fine and emotional concert, he said. We are so detached from the war. We talk about Fort Drum being an economic force in town, but theres another side to that.
Mr. Probert, a Sackets Harbor resident with extensive choral directing and teaching experience, began the chorus in 2006 with 17 singers; this year there are 64 members from throughout Jefferson County.
This chorus is a good chorus, he said. Its the premiere chorus of the north country.
Mr. Probert selected Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace), a cantata by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), and A German Requiem by German composer Johannes Brahms (1833-97).
I love doing these two pieces but Ive never put them together in a concert, Mr. Probert said.
The contrast is striking.
Dona Nobis Pacem depicts wars pestilence and negative energy, he said. And the Brahms Requiem is such a tender recognition of death.
This is unlike other requiems, Mr. Probert said. Its a requiem for the living and a celebration of life through the acknowledgement of death.
Mr. Probert noted that Ralph Vaughan Williams had been an artillery captain in World War I.
He was aware of the carnage of war, he said.
Most of the lyrics in Dona Nobis Pacem, written in 1936, are by American poet Walt Whitman, who volunteered in Army hospitals during the Civil War.
Whitmans Beat! Beat! Drums! begins:
Beat! Beat! Drums! Blow! Bugles! Blow!
Through the windows through the doors burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation.
The soprano (Diana Gamet) almost screams ... at the very beginning, Mr. Probert said. The chorus and orchestra supply the energy underneath that solo. In the background you hear the artillery of the base drum theres lots of percussion and the bugles are playing.
But the piece, Mr. Probert said, ends very quietly, asking us to share in peace.
He described the Brahms Requiem, in contrast, as very romantic and extremely melodic.
Although the Requiem is frequently sung in English, the ensemble will sing it in the original German.
While learning the German has been difficult for the singers, Mr. Probert said the group is up to the challenge.
The concert program will contain a translation of the German.
We could have gone with English, but its a less solemn sound, Mr. Probert said. The original language has a certain flow to it and a certain rhythmic bounce.
Dona Nobis Pacem is about 40 minutes long and the German Requiem is about 55 minutes long. There will be an intermission between selections.
If there was a concert to go to and youve never been to a classical music concert, this is that concert, Mr. Probert said. Its immediately accessible. It has a lot of good noise.
In addition to two professional soloists, the concert will have a full paid orchestra consisting of musicians from the north country and from Rochester, Pittsburgh, Montreal and New York City.
As for the chorus, Mr. Probert said, All of our singers are volunteers and come from all walks of life.
He said that they will have put in a combined 2,500 hours of rehearsal time.
I think that speaks well for community service. But its extremely rewarding, he said. Talent doesnt know geography. We need to demand excellence. Or it doesnt flower.

LINCOLN – If you missed the first 30 seconds of Tuesday night's Division II girls' soccer clash between Lincoln and Warwick Vets, you missed a lot.
Electing to establish tempo on the game's initial touch, the Lions quickly penetrated deep into the Hurricanes' zone before one of their scoring stars took over. Senior Hailee Jarry succeeded in turning the corner and getting past a Warwick Vets defender before rifling a shot from the top of the 18-yard box that goalie Katelen Pick had little chance of stopping.
Jarry's mighty poke proved to be the difference as Lincoln went on to post a 1-0 victory on what was "Senior Night" at Chet Nichols Field. The Lions will carry and 11-0-2 league mark into Thursday's regular-season finale at Westerly. A win over the Bulldogs would enable head coach Chris Allen and his players to officially clinch the division title and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Division II playoffs.
"It definitely keeps them motivated," said Allen when asked about having something significant to play for come Thursday. "We really don't talk seeds or rankings at this point. We just look at each game one at a time. We've got one game left and whatever happens after that, we'll move forward. But we've played a good season so far."
Allen agreed when it was suggested that his Lions are more than capable of playing in the type of white-knuckle affair that played out against the Hurricanes, who fall to 9-4. Tuesday saw Lincoln post its eighth shutout against league foes.
"It's not just our defense. Our offense is more than capable of sustaining pressure, which allows our defense to work from the back," the Lincoln mentor explained. "In a couple of games that have been close, our offense has stepped up and been able to keep the pressure on the opponent."
A chess match ensued after Jarry's goal as both teams continued to trade opportunities and shots. The two goalies ended up making a combined 32 saves with 20 belonging to Pick while Lincoln's Lauren Hervieux made 12 stops.
"We've got a nice spread offense, which has helped us to be as successful as we are," Allen pointed out. "(Warwick Vets) played a nice, physical game in the back and made our offense have to work for it. We got some shots in the end, but that's how the ball bounces."
Lincoln's defense was put to the test multiple times inside the final 10 minutes. A corner kick by Warwick's Sloan Kinney with 9:30 remaining bounced around the cage for a couple of anxious moments before Lincoln junior Delaney Maxell batted the ball out of harm's way and toward midfield.
Roughly a minute later, the Hurricanes' Meredith Walsh got off a shot that wobbled around before Hervieux stepped to the forefront and corralled the live ball. Lincoln junior Faithe Hernandez also deserves credit for the way she marked the opponent's top threats.
"Faithe is a very strong defender. So is (sophomore) Lauren Christo," said Allen. "A lot of heads-up play back there. They didn't caught sleeping and were able to distribute the ball out."

Video: Reports: Rural Metro Possibly Headed Toward Bankruptcy
BUFFALO, NY - Several financial publications, including The Wall Street Journal, are reporting that Rural Metro, the nation's largest provider of ambulance service, is preparing to file for bankruptcy.
The ambulance company provides service to several Western New York communities and employs over 500 workers in the area.
While bankruptcy is not a certainty at this point, elected officials are keeping a close eye on any developments.
Even if Rural Metro files for bankruptcy, a leading Buffalo bankruptcy attorney expects it would be under Chapter 11, which would allow it to continue to operate, while it re-organizes its finances with protection from creditors.
"My expectation is you'd probably see service continue, at least in most communities," said William J. Brown, a partner with Phillips Lytle LLP.
Rural metro, which provides service in 22 states, has 90 emergency vehicles which respond to more than 120,000 calls a year in Erie and Niagara counties.
About a quarter of those calls are in the city of Buffalo, where the Common Council just granted an extension to Rural Metro's contract with the city, until the end of the year.
"Questions are going to be raised when you hear they might be filing bankruptcy," said South District Councilmember Christopher Scanlon. "You're going to start to concern yourself with the fact of whether they're able to meet the obligations and the criteria of the contract," Scanlon said.
"From everything that we've heard and seen we don't think that it will impact service ," Mayor Byron Brown told WGRZ-TV. "But obviously we're going to watch it very closely."
Under bankruptcy, Rural Metro could move to reduce its workforce, change existing labor agreements (including one just signed with EMT's in Western New York after a brief strike), or even cancel existing contracts with municipalities.
However, under bankruptcy, any move the company might make would have to be approved by a bankruptcy judge.
In the case of an emergency services provider, any proposal to jettison existing service contracts, would be viewed with extreme caution according to attorney Brown.
"I would think that any judge would be very concerned about the health and safety of those people in the community with respect to ambulance service...the courts have been slow to terminate service because they want to make sure that people have the ability to have their medical situations attended to," he said.

I loved the way this looked on the model, nice and close-fitting, especially on the arms, the kind of fit that looks good on me. But even though I wear a medium, the one I got is quite loose in the arms -- even if I were an XL, I would have to be the Incredible Hulk to get the kind of fit in the picture. I'm returning it.

KOKO, London, NW1
(rated by 0 people)
Confirm RatingClose
KOKO offers a great mixture of live bands and club nights that have put it at the heart of the Camden nightlife. The huge stage, broad balconies and plush upstairs bars are a reminder of its former role as the Camden Theatre (which originally opened its doors in 1900), and the deep red colour scheme, chandeliers and gilt molding give it a decadent air that matches the rock stars who grace the stage. It has an illustrious rock 'n' roll history, having hosted The Clash and the Sex Pistols in the 1970s, and The Eurythmics, Madness and Madonna in the 1980s.
In July 2010 came the addition of a huge 850 square foot roof terrace beneath the venue's iconic illuminated sign.

Early Saturday morning, a white male and white female entered the electronics department of Walmart, and while the woman stood watch, the male removed numerous Apple Ipads and Ipods from the electronics cabinet, someone from the scene saying they cleaned out the cabinet of the Apple products.
The man placed the items into a shopping cart and the two suspects just walked out of the store. Walmart surveillance video then shows the two suspects getting into a white four-door sedan, with a sun roof, and exiting the parking lot. Anyone with information on this crime or any other crime is asked to call Crimestoppers at 828-268-6959 / 828-737-0125 or the Boone Police Department at 828-268-6900.

AlyssaDelawareWell Worth The MoneyI am a person who has thick hair that has some natural wave to it, however the waves are not even so my type of hair can be very difficult to style. My hair is also very frizzy, esp. If I want to let it air dry. Bumble and Bumble's Prep spray has made all the difference! I have tried many products over the years and I somehow always go back to Bumble and Bumble. It is a bit pricey but I can definitely see the difference. I recently had a baby and do not have a lot of time to style my hair so this prep spray is great!I just spray it in my hair when wet, massage and then comb through and i let my hair dry natural. I can even add some curls or volume with my fingers and they hold!It's great! No more frizz! It is also great when i use the blow dryer and flat iron. Without this product My hair is a frizzy mess if I let it air dry so I am so happy I gave this product a chance!6 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Kartikeya (Sanskrit Kārtikēya "son of Kṛttikā" Tamil: Kārttikēyaṉ) (/ˌkɑrtɪˈkeɪjə/), also known as Skanda, Kumaran, Kumara Swami and Subramaniyan is the Hindu god of war. He is the Commander-in-Chief of the army of the devas and the son of Shiva and Parvati.
Murugan (Tamil Murukaṉ) is often referred to as Tamiḻ kaṭavuḷ ("god of the Tamils") and is worshiped primarily in areas with Tamil influences, especially South India, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Réunion. His six most important shrines in India are the Six Abodes of Murugan, temples located in Tamil Nadu.
In Bengal, Odisha and Maharashtra, he is popularly known as Kartikeya.[1]

Other names[edit]
The several names of Murugan of Tamil origin would include the following, Seyon, Senthil, Vēlaṇ, Kumāran ("prince, child, young one"), Svaminatha ("smart, clever"), Saravaṇa, Arumugam or Shanmuga ("having six faces"),[2] Dandapani ("god with a club"), Guhan or Guruguha ("cave-dweller"), Subrahmanya, Kartikeya and Skanda "attacker".[3][4] He was also known as Mahasena and the Kadamba dynasty worshiped him by this name.[5]
Historical development[edit]
Sangam Tamil literature[edit]
|Part of the series on
Six sacred abodes
The Tolkāppiyam, possibly the most ancient of the Tamil literature, mentions Ceyyavaṉ "the red one", who is identified with Murugan, whose name is literally Murukaṉ "the youth"; the three other gods referred in the Tolkāppiyam are Māyavaṉ "the dark one" (identified with Vishnu), Vēntaṉ "the sovereign" (identified with Indra) and Koṟṟavai "the victorious" (identified with Kali). Extant Sangam literature works, dated between the third century BCE and the fifth century CE glorified Murugan, "the red god seated on the blue peacock, who is ever young and resplendent," as "the favoured god of the Tamils."[6] The Sangam poetry divided space and Tamil land into five allegorical areas (tinai) and. according to the Tirumurukāṟṟuppaṭai ( c. 400–450), attributed to the great Sangam poet Nakkirar, Murugan was the presiding deity of the kuṟiñci (hilly tracts). The Tirumurukāṟṟuppaṭai is a deeply devotional poem included in the Pattuppāṭṭu "ten idyls" of the age of the third Sangam. In the Tirumurukāṟṟuppaṭai, he is described as a god of eternal youth: "His face shines a myriad rays light and removes the darkness from this world".[7]
Other Sangam period works in Tamil that refer to Murugan in detail include the Paripāṭal, the Akanaṉūṟu and the Purananuru.[citation needed]
Vedic and Puranic literature[edit]
The Atharvaveda calls Kumāra Agnibhū because he is form of Agni, who held him in his hands when Kumāra was born. The Shatapatha Brahmana refers to him as the son of Rudra and the six faces of Rudra. The Taittiriya Aranyaka contains the Gayatri Mantra for Shanmukha. The Chandogya Upanishad refers to Skanda as the "way that leads to wisdom". Baudhāyana's Dharmasūtra calls Skanda Mahāsena "Having a Great Army" and Subrahmaṇya "beloved of Brahmins". The āraṇyaparvan (first section of the third book) of the Mahabharata relates the legend of Kartikeya Skanda in considerable detail. The Skanda Purana is devoted to the narrative of Kartikeya.[8] The Upanishads also constantly make a reference to a Supreme Being called Guha, the indweller.
Hindu epics[edit]
The first elaborate account of Kartikeya's origin occurs in the Mahabharata. In a complicated story, he is said to have been born from Agni and Svaha, after the latter impersonated the six of the seven wives of the Saptarishi (Seven Sages). The actual wives then become the Pleiades. Kartikeya is said to have been born to destroy a buffalo demon (mahishasura).[9] In later mythology, the buffalo demon became the adversary of Durga.
Indra attacks Kartikeya as he sees the latter as a threat until Shiva intervenes and makes Kartikeya the commander-in-chief of the army of the Devas. He is also married to Devasena, Indra's daughter. The origin of this marriage lies probably in the punning of 'Deva-sena-pati'. It can mean either lord of Devasena or Lord of the army (sena) of Devas. But according to Anandamurti, in his master work on Shiva[10] and other works, Kartikeya was married to Devasenā and that is on the ground of his name as Devasena's husband, Devasenāpati, misinterpreted as Deva-senāpati (Deva's general) that he was granted the title general and made the Deva's army general.[11]
The Ramayana version is closer to the stories told in the Puranas below.
References to Murugan can be traced back to the first millennium BCE. There are references to Murugan in Kautilya's Arthashastra, in the works of Patanjali, in Kalidasa's epic poem the Kumārasambhava. The Kushan Empire, which governed from what is today Peshawar, and the Yaudheyas, a confederation in the Punjab region, struck coins bearing the image of Skanda. The deity was venerated also by the Ikshvakus, an Andhra dynasty, and the Gupta Empire.[8] The worship of Kumāra was one of the six principal sects of Hinduism at the time of Adi Shankara. The Shanmata system propagated by him included this sect. In many Shiva and Devi temples of Tamil Nadu, Murugan is installed on the left of the main deity. The story of His birth goes as follows:
Sati immolated herself in a pyre as her father King Daksha had insulted Shiva, her Lord. She was reborn as Parvathi or Uma, daughter of the King of Himalayas, Himavan. She then married her Lord Shiva. The Devas were under onslaught from the Asuras whose leader was Soorapadman. He had been granted boons that only Lord Shiva or his seed could kill him. Fearless he vanquished the Devas and made them his slaves. The Devas ran to Vishnu for help who told them that it was merely their fault for attending Daksha's yagna, without the presence of Lord Shiva. After this, they ran to Shiva for help. Shiva decided to take action against Soorapadman's increasing conceit. He frowned and his third eye- the eye of knowledge- started releasing sparks. There were six sparks in total. Agni had the responsibility to take them to Saravana Lake. As he was carrying them, the sparks were growing hotter and hotter that even the Lord of Fire could not withstand the heat. Soon after Murugan was born on a lotus in the Saravana Lake with six faces, giving him the name Arumukan. Lord Shiva and Parvati visited and tears of joy started flowing as they witnessed the most handsome child. Shiva and Parvathi gave the responsibility of taking care of Muruga to the six Krittika sisters. Muruga grew up to be a handsome, intelligent, powerful, clever youth. All the Devas applauded at their saviour, who had finally come to release them from their woes. Murugan became the supreme general of the demi-gods, then escorted the devas and led the army of the devas to victory against the asuras.[citation needed]
Though slightly varying versions occur in the Puranas, they broadly follow the same pattern. By this period, the identification of Shiva/Rudra with Agni, that can be traced back to the Vedas and Brahmanas, had clearly made Kartikeya the son of Shiva.[citation needed]
The Skanda Purana narrates that Shiva first wed Dakshayani (also named Sati), the first incarnation of Adi Shakthi the granddaughter of Brahma, and the daughter of Daksha. Daksha was a Vishnu devotee and never liked Shiva, who symbolized destruction of evil, detachment, and who lives a simple life . Daksha publicly insults Shiva in a Yagna ceremony, and Dakshayani immolates herself. The Yagna is destroyed by Shiva's avatar Virabhadra. Virabhadra broke the sacrificial vessels, polluted the offerings, insulted the priests and finally cut off Daksha's head, trampled on Indra, broke the staff of Yama, scattered the gods on every side; then he returned to Kailash. Taraka believed that, because Shiva is an ascetic and his earlier marriage was conducted with great difficulty, his remarriage was out of the question, hence his boon of being killed by Shiva's son alone would give him invincibility.
The Devas manage to get Shiva married to Parvati (who was Dakshayani, reborn), by making Manmatha (also known as Kama), the God of love awaken him from his penance, but Manmatha incurred the Lord's wrath indicated by the opening his third eye – "Netri Kann", and being destroyed and resurrected. Shiva hands over his effulgence of the third eye used to destroy Manmatha to Agni, as he alone is capable of handling it until it becomes the desired offspring. But even Agni, tortured by its heat, hands it over to Ganga who in turn deposits it in a lake in a forest of reeds (sharavanam). Then Goddess Parvati, took the form of this water body as she alone is capable of taming the Tejas of Shiva, her consort. . The child is finally born in this forest (vana) with six faces: eesanam, Tathpurusham, vamadevam, agoram, sathyojatham and adhomugam. He is first spotted and cared for by six women representing the Pleiades — Kritika in Sanskrit. He thus gets named Kartikeya. As a young lad, he destroys Tarakasur. He is also called Kumara (Tamil and Sanskrit for "youth").
Given that legends related to Murugan are recounted separately in several Hindu epics, some differences between the various versions are observed. Some Sanskrit epics and puranas indicate that he was the elder son of Shiva. This is suggested by the legend connected to his birth; the wedding of Shiva and Parvati being necessary for the birth of a child who would vanquish the asura named Taraka. Also, Kartikeya is seen helping Shiva fight the newborn Ganesha, Shiva's other son, in the Shiva Purana. In the Ganapati Khandam of the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, he is seen as the elder son of Shiva and Ganesha as the younger. In South India, it is believed that he is the younger of the two. A Puranic story has Ganesha obtain a divine fruit of knowledge from Narada winning a contest with Murugan. While Murugan speeds around the world thrice to win the contest for the fruit, Ganesha circumambulates Shiva and Parvati thrice as an equivalent and is given the fruit. After winning it, he offers to give the fruit to his upset brother. After this event, Ganesha was considered the elder brother owing as a tribute to his wisdom. Many of the major events in Murugan's life take place during his youth, and legends surrounding his birth are popular. This has encouraged the worship of Murugan as a child-God, very similar to the worship of the child Krishna in north India. He is married to two wives, Valli and Devasena. This led to a very interesting name : Devasenapati viz. Pati (husband) of Devsena and/or Senapati (commander in chief) of Dev (gods).
Kartikeya symbols are based on the weapons – Vel, the Divine Spear or Lance that he carries and his mount the peacock. He is sometimes depicted with many weapons including: a sword, a javelin, a mace, a discus and a bow although more usually he is depicted wielding a sakti or spear. This symbolizes his purification of human ills. His javelin is used to symbolize his far reaching protection, his discus symbolizes his knowledge of the truth, his mace represents his strength and his bow shows his ability to defeat all ills. His peacock mount symbolizes his destruction of the ego. His six heads represent the six siddhis bestowed upon yogis over the course of their spiritual development. This corresponds to his role as the bestower of siddhis.
Regions of worship[edit]
South India[edit]
Murugan is often referred to as "Tamil Kadavul" "God of the Tamils" and is worshiped primarily in areas with Tamil influences. Subramanya is also a major deity among the Hindus of northern Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telengana. Rituals like nagaradhane are unique to Uttara Kannada region of Karnataka.
Tamil Nadu[edit]
In Tamil Nadu, Murugan has continued to be popular with all classes of society right since the Sangam age. This has led to more elaborate accounts of his mythology in the Tamil language, culminating in the Tamil version of Skanda Purana, called Kandha Purānam, written by Kacchiappa Sivachariyar (1350–1420 AD.) of Kumara Kottam in the city of Kanchipuram. (He was a scholar in Tamil literature, and a votary of the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy) He is married to two deities, Valli, a daughter of a tribal chief and Deivayanai (also called Devasena), the daughter of Indhra. During His bachelorhood, Lord Murugan is also regarded as Kumaraswami (or Bachelor God), Kumara meaning a bachelor and Swami meaning God. Muruga rides a peacock and wields a bow in battle. The lance called Vel in Tamil is a weapon closely associated with him. The Vel was given to him by his mother, Parvati, and embodies her energy and power. His army's standard depicts a rooster. In the war, Surapadman was split into two, and each half was granted a boon by Murugan. The halves, thus turned into the peacock (his mount) and the rooster his flag, which also "refers to the sun".[12]
As Muruga is worshipped predominantly in Tamil Nadu, many of his names are of Tamil origin. These include Senthil, the red or formidable one; Arumugam, the six-faced one; Guhan and Maal-Marugan, the son-in-law of Vishnu. Murugan is venerated throughout the Tamil year. There is a six-day period of fast and prayer in the Tamil month of Aippasi known as the Skanda Shasti. He is worshipped at Thaipusam, celebrated by Tamil communities worldwide near the full moon of the Tamil month Thai. This commemorates the day he was given a Vel or lance by his mother in order to vanquish the asuras. Thirukarthigai or the full moon of the Tamil month of Karthigai signifies his birth. Each Tuesday of the Tamil month of Adi is also dedicated to the worship of Murugan. Tuesday in the Hindu tradition connotes Mangala, the god of planet Mars and war.
West Bengal[edit]
Kartikeya also known as Kartik or Kartika is also worshipped in West Bengal, and Bangladesh on the last day of the Hindu month of 'Kartik'. However, the popularity of Kartik Puja (worshipping Kartik) is decreasing now, and Kartikeya is primarily worshipped among those who intend to have a son. In Bengal, traditionally, many people drop images of Kartik inside the boundaries of different households, who all are either newly married, or else, intend to get a son to carry on with their ancestry. Lord Kartik is also associated to the Babu Culture prevailed in historic Kolkata, and hence, many traditional old Bengali paintings still show Kartik dressed in traditional Bengali style. Also, in some parts of West Bengal, Kartik is traditionally worshipped by the ancestors of the past royal families too, as in the district of Malda. In Bansberia (Hooghly district) Kartik Puja festival is celebrated like Durga puja of Kolkata, Jagadhatri puja in Chandannagar for consecutive four days. The festival starts on 17 November every year and on 16 November in case of Leap year.[13] Some of the must see Puja committees are Bansberia Kundugoli Nataraj, Khamarapara Milan Samity RadhaKrishna, Kishor Bahini, Mitali Sangha, Yuva Sangha, Bansberia Pratap Sangha and many more. In Durga Puja in Bengal, Kartikeya is considered to be a son of Parvati or Durga and Shiva along with his brother Ganesha.[14]
Kumara Purnima, which is celebrated on the full moon day after Vijayadashami, is one of the popular festival dedicated to Kartikeya in Odisha.It is believed that unmarried girls worship Kartikeya on this day to get grooms handsome as Kartikeya.[15] Kartikeya is worshiped during Durga Puja in Odisha as well as in various Shiva temples throughout the year. Kartik puja is celebrated in Cuttack along with various other parts of the state during the last phases of Hindu month of Kartik. Kartik purnima is celebrated with much joy and in a grand fashion in Cuttack, Jamadhar, Rekabibajar of Jajpur District and other parts in the state.
Other Parts[edit]
Kartikeya Swami or locally called the Devta "Kelang Wazir" is worshipped near parts of Bharmour as their main deity at Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. Situated at Kugti Village, which is 10-14 km from Bharmour is the major deity of the tribe Gaddi. The temple of Kartikeya Swami is visited every year by thousands of devotees when the trek is opened in the month of March-April.(Covered with snow in the winters)
Historically, Kartikeya was immensely popular in the Indian subcontinent. One of the major Puranas, the Skanda Purana is dedicated to him. In the Bhagavad-Gita (Ch.10, Verse 24), Krishna, while explaining his omnipresence, names the most perfect being, mortal or divine, in each of several categories. While doing so, he says: "Among generals, I am Skanda, the lord of war."
Kartikeya's presence in the religious and cultural sphere can be seen at least from the Gupta age. Two of the Gupta kings, Kumaragupta and Skandagupta, were named after him. He is seen in the Gupta sculptures and in the temples of Ellora and Elephants. As the commander of the divine armies, he became the patron of the ruling classes. His youth, beauty and bravery was much celebrated in Sanskrit works like the Kathasaritsagara. Kalidasa made the birth of Kumara the subject of a lyrical epic, the Kumaarasambhavam. In ancient India, Kartikeya was also regarded as the patron deity of thieves, as may be inferred from the Mrichchakatikam, a Sanskrit play by Shudraka, and in the Vetala-panchvimshati, a medieval collection of tales. This association is linked to the fact that Kartikeya had dug through the Krauncha mountain to kill Taraka and his brothers (in the Mrichchakatikam, Sarivilaka prays to him before tunnelling into the hero's house).
However, Kartikeya's popularity in North India receded from the Middle Ages onwards, and his worship is today virtually unknown except in parts of Haryana. There is a very famous temple dedicated to Him in the town of Pehowa in Haryana and this temple is very well known in the adjoining areas, especially because women are not allowed anywhere close to it. Women stay away from this temple in Pehowa town of Haryana because this shrine celebrates the Brahmachari form of Kartikeya. Reminders of former devotions to him include a temple at Achaleshwar, near Batala in Punjab, and another temple of Skanda atop the Parvati hill in Pune, Maharashtra. There is also a popular temple of Kartikeya called Kartik Swami Mandir in the Panchavati region of Nashik, Maharashtra. In Maharashtra too, women don't visit Kartik swami temple.
Sri Lanka[edit]
Murugan is adored by both Tamil Hindus and Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Numerous temples exist throughout the island. He is a favorite deity of the common folk everywhere and it is said he never hesitates to come to the aid of a devotee when called upon. In the deeply Sinhalese south of Sri Lanka, Murugan is worshipped at the temple in Katirkāmam, where he is known as Kathiravel or Katragama Deviyo (Lord of Katragama). This temple is next to an old Buddhist place of worship. Local legend holds that Lord Murugan alighted in Kataragama and was smitten by Valli, one of the local aboriginal lasses. After a courtship, they were married. This event is taken to signify that Lord Murugan is accessible to all who worship and love him, regardless of their birth or heritage. The Nallur Kandaswamy temple, the Maviddapuram Kandaswamy Temple and the Sella Channithy Temple near Valvettiturai are the three foremost Murugan temples in Jaffna. The Chitravelayutha temple in Verukal on the border between Trincomalee and Batticaloa is also noteworthy as is the Mandur Kandaswamy temple in Batticaloa. The late medieval-era temple of the tooth in Kandy, dedicated to the tooth relic of the Buddha, has a Kataragama deiyo shrine adjacent to it dedicated to the veneration of Skanda in the Sinhalese tradition. Almost all buddhist temples house a shrine room for Kataragama deviyo (Murugan) reflecting the significance of Murugan in Sinhala Buddhism,
Based on archeological evidence found, it is believed that the Kiri Vehera was either renovated to build during the 1st century BCE. There are number of others inscriptions and ruins.[16]
By the 16th century the Kathiravel shrine at Katirkāmam had become synonymous with Skanda-Kumara who was a guardian deity of Sinhala Buddhism.[17] The town was popular as a place of pilgrimage for Hindus from India and Sri Lanka by the 15 the century. The popularity of the deity at the Kataragama temple was also recorded by the Pali chronicles of Thailand such as Jinkalmali in the 16th century. There are number of legends both Buddhist and Hindu that attribute supernatural events to the very locality.[17] Scholars such as Paul Younger and Heinz Bechert speculate that rituals practiced by the native priests of Kataragama temple betray Vedda ideals of propitiation. Hence they believe the area was of Vedda veneration that was taken over by the Buddhist and Hindus in the medieval period.[18]
Lord Murugan is one of the most important deities worshipped by the Tamil Hindus in Malaysia and other South-East Asian countries such as Singapore and Indonesia. Thaipoosam is one of the important festivals celebrated. Sri Subramanyar Temple at Batu Caves temple complex in Malaysia is dedicated to Lord Murugan.
The main temples of Murugan are located in Tamil Nadu and other parts of south India. They include the Aru Padaiveedu (six abodes) — Thiruchendur, Swamimalai, Pazhamudircholai, Thirupparangunram, Palani (Pazhani), Thiruthani and other important shrines like Mayilam, Sikkal, Marudamalai, Kundrathur, Vadapalani, Kandakottam, Thiruporur, Vallakottai, Vayalur, Thirumalaikoil, Chennimalai, Sivanmalai, Pachaimalai and Pavalamalai near Gobichettipalayam. Malai Mandir, a prominent and popular temple complex in Delhi, is one of the few dedicated to Murugan in all of North India apart from the Pehowa temple in Haryana.
There are many temples dedicated to Lord Subramanya in Kerala. Amongst them are Atiyambur Sri Subramanya Temple in Kanhangad Kasaragod, Payyannur Subramanya Swamy temple in Payyanur, Panmana Subramanya Swamy temple in Panmana and the Subramanya temple in Haripad. There is a temple in Skandagiri, Secunderabad ,one in Bikkavolu, East Godavari district and one in Mopidevi,Krishna district in the state of Andhra Pradesh. In Karnataka there is the Kukke Subramanya Temple where Lord Murugan is worshiped as the Lord of the serpents. Aaslesha Bali, Sarpa Samskara with nagapathista samarpa are major prayers here.
The key temples in Sri Lanka include the sylvan shrine in Kataragama / (Kadirgamam) or Kathirkamam in the deep south, the temple in Tirukovil in the east, the shrine in Embekke in the Kandyan region and the famed Nallur Kandaswamy temple in Jaffna. There are several temples dedicated to Lord Murugan in Malaysia, the most famous being the Batu Caves near Kuala Lumpur. There is a 42.7-m-high statue of Lord Murugan at the entrance to the Batu Caves, which is the largest Lord Murugan statue in the world. Sri Thandayuthapani Temple in Tank Road, Singapore is a major Hindu temple where each year the Thaipusam festival takes place with devotees of Lord Muruga carrying Kavadis seeking penance and blessings of the Lord.
In the United Kingdom, Highgate Hill Murugan temple is one of the oldest and most famous. In London, Sri Murugan Temple in Manor park is a well-known temple. In Midlands, Leicester Shri Siva Murugan Temple[19] is gaining popularity recently. Skanda Vale[20] in West Wales was founded by Guruji, a Tamil devotee of Subramaniam, and its primary deity is Lord Murugan. In Australia, Sydney Murugan temple in Parramatta (Mays Hill), Perth Bala Muruguan temple in Mandogalup and Kundrathu Kumaran temple in Rockbank, Melbourne are major Hindu temples for all Australian Hindus and Murugan devotees. In New Zealand, there is a Thirumurugan Temple in Auckland and a Kurinji Kumaran Temple in Wellington, both dedicated to Lord Murugan. In the USA, Shiva Murugan Temple[21] in Concord, Northern California and Murugan Temple of North America[22] in Maryland, Washington DC region are popular. In Toronto, Canada, Canada Kanthasamy Temple is known amongst many Hindus in Canada. In Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a suburb of the city of Montreal in Canada, there is a monumental temple of Murugan. The Sri Sivasubramaniar Temple, located in the Sihl Valley in Adliswil, is the most famous and largest Hindu temple in Switzerland.[23]

A. That is a tough one. You can get the conscription papers for your ancestor from Italy. Trafford Cole's book Italian Genealogical Records states that the conscription records are called registro di leva and list all males, listed by year of birth, within each military district. He goes on to say that the records are usually indexed and fairly easy to consult: "There are two copies of them; one is held in the military district, and the other copy is initially held by the procura della repubblica, usually at the court (tribunal) archive. After 75 years, the latter copy is usually turned over to the state archive and made available for consultation."
Cole goes on to describe how the military districts are divided. He also includes several examples of some of the documents.
The second type of military record is the registri dei fogli matricolare (record of draftee curriculum), which documents the individual's military service. In a separate document (sometimes they are included in the foglio matricolare) called the registro di ruolo (military record), other documents may be found.
My recommendation would be to read Cole's chapter on military records. I find no mention of where prisoner of war records would, if at all, be included. I would think they would be in the registri dei fogli matricolare or the registro di ruolo since this is the most logical place for them.
Lynn Nelson's book A Genealogist's Guide to Discovering Your Italian Ancestors has a short explanation of military records (pages 31-32 and page 86). She also states that few of these records have been filmed by the Family History Library so the researcher must write to Italy for them. Page 86 tells you where you need to address your inquiry (at the Archivio de Stato, or State/Province Archives).

Department of Biology
What are the advantages of studying biology at La Sierra University?
La Sierra students study with faculty who are experts in the field—who contribute to knowledge, who don't just teach it from a book. These are professors who are doing research into subjects such as immunology and DNA sequencing. They are out in the field actually discovering new species never before identified—and they are involving you in the research! Two recent biology students each published at least 15 peer-reviewed journal articles with their professor before they graduated from La Sierra in 2008.
La Sierra students have learning opportunities that prepare them for professional programs in fields such as medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy, such as participating in a gross anatomy lab dissecting a human cadaver—the same thing you will do in first-year professional school.
La Sierra University students study in a state-of-the-art building recently constructed for the study of biology. Each professor has his or her own private research lab, enabling undergraduate students the remarkable opportunity to do meaningful research.
Undergraduate Research
The Department of Biology is committed to providing undergraduate students with the opportunity to do research. The biology faculty are actively engaged in research and welcome qualified and highly motivated students to participate with them in their laboratories. Interested students are encouraged to discuss research opportunities with individual faculty. Limited support in the form of grants and assistantships may be available.
Preparation for teaching
Students preparing to teach at the secondary level should plan to qualify for state of California teaching credentials by completing the bachelor's degree and passing the PRAXIS (or SSAT) subject area assessment. During the freshman year prospective teachers of both secondary and elementary levels should see the School of Education section of the La Sierra University Bulletin and consult the credential analyst and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the School of Education for detailed information concerning requirements.
Field School of Biology
To provide first-hand experience in field biology rather than only accumulating book knowledge, the Department of Biology at La Sierra University offers fieldwork-based opportunities through its Field School. Currently, we coordinate an annual 3-week course in tropical environments, typically in late June and July. Our most recent trips involved study of insular amphibians and reptiles of the Bay Islands in Honduras and of Pulau Tioman in Peninsular Malaysia. New localities will be the islands in Ha Long Bay and the Con Dao Islands in Vietnam. During this course, students collect, preserve, take tissue samples of, and photograph specimens of amphibians and reptiles as well as keep a field journal.
The research conducted during this course has consistently led to publication of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals with student authorship. Any student taking approved field courses (Field School, Rosario Beach) for 8 or more units may apply these units to substitute for BIOL 201 or 202.

text:
The notion that government can keep robbing Peter to pay Paul indefinitely was always unrealistic. The creation of "entitlements" did not happen in America under FDR, as many people think. Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor of militaristic Imperial Germany introduced old age pensions, workers compensation, and related state programs in an effort to placate German socialists, which were a major power in German politics.
While society agrees, generally speaking, that the sick, the aged, the orphans and the disabled should be cared for rather than left to die, that responsibility, historically, has rested upon social and moral foundations rather than legal rights. Families, more than any other institution, cared for the elderly and the disabled. Not only did families undertake this obligation, but families also made the lives of the old or the handicapped useful.

Genetic Predictors of Raltegravir Penetration Into Cerebrospinal Fluid
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study is being done to find out how much of the drug raltegravir (RGV) gets into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), compared to how much get into the blood and to find out if normal changes in a certain gene in your body affects how much RGV gets into the CSF.
HIV Infections
Drug: Raltegravir
Phase 2
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
|Official Title:
|Genetic Predictors of Raltegravir Penetration Into Cerebrospinal Fluid
- Penetration of Raltegravir (RGV) Into Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Based on Plasma Area-under-the-curve. [ Time Frame: Day 7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary outcome for this study was the ratio of the 4-hour CSF concentration value (ng/mL) to the partial plasma area-under-the-curve 0-4h value (h*ng/mL).
- Penetration of Raltegravir (RGV) Into Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Based on Single Plasma Timepoint. [ Time Frame: Day 7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This outcome was the ratio of the 4-hour CSF concentration value (ng/mL) to the 4-hour plasma concentration value (ng/mL).
|Study Start Date:
|August 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Open label oral raltegravir
Raltegravir a single 400 mg pill taken orally every 12 hours for a total of 7 days.
Drug: Raltegravir
400mg orally every 12 hours for 7 days
Other Name: MK-0518
Detailed Description:
The multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is expressed in the blood-brain barrier where it limits entry of substrate drugs into the central nervous system. Raltegravir (MK-0158), a new HIV-1 integrase inhibitor and potentially major addition to the therapeutic armamentarium against HIV, is a substrate for P-gp. Studies are warranted to elucidate the relevance of P-gp transport for raltegravir in the central nervous system.

Now that is one breakfast that I couldn't say "snap" to! Looks great.
And a guy making amazake...there's something very cute about that.
I seem to remember that Hiroyuki posted about the same type of peanut senbei you showed - and they're a favorite of my husband's, too. They always seem to be on the fuddy-duddy shelf of the snack corner, yet those who try them always seem to come back for more!
I just found those france-pan snacks recently (kids were home early studying for exams...). Haven't tried the caramel one you had, but the butter one seemed better than the sugar flavor, for your future reference!
If your kakeibo has made it as far as March, you're already an expert. I don't know why they don't just sell a "January-only" edition for those who know themselves!
Helen, I just have to ask: what does "snap" mean (I actually looked it up the first time you used it but it seems to be one of those words that can mean anything)? And what was wrong with my other breakfasts?
My husband also makes oshiruko. He has a much bigger sweet tooth than I do!
Yes, the fuddy-duddy section! Excellent description of the aisle that sells the boring or weird old-fashioned stuff that I never ever buy. Except for these.
That's funny about the kakeibo. I admit I'm finding it a big drag but I'm not giving up, as I really do need to get a handle on our finances. We spend way to much money on food, as you can see, and any extra money we save is spent on visits back home. We realized that's not a good way to live when my husband found himself unemployed for three months last year, right after I'd spent all my savings on a trip home. So a kakeibo is totally necessary and I'll do it for as long as I have to.
And now that I've outed myself as such a plebeian coffee-drinker to these august pages, I'll just say that it's one of the few kinds which is pre-ground of a size NOT to fall through the holes in my percolator. And that buying any beans, no matter how elite and rare, grinding them results in SOME powder which a filter-system will take out, but not the perc.
And at some times of the year, and at this time of my life, I just get a craving for the old days, the old ways, and waking up at my age to the familiar, remembered scent of the same coffee as I had in my teens and young married life---well, Proust liked what HE remembered, and Tom Wolfe was only partly right.
No shame in not grinding your own beans. I gave it up after buying a bur grinder and realizing it was no better than a blade grinder. Now I buy my coffee a few times a month and the place I buy it from grinds it there. And that's good enough for me!
And nothing wrong with drinking Folgers! My family used to, and the empty can was always put to use gathering bacon fat. My father and brother have since switched to fancier stuff (I wonder what they do with bacon fat?) and my mother now drinks instant only. She says she prefers the taste and will actually refuse a cup of better coffee, but I think it's also, like you and your Folgers, a nostalgia thing. I like the way you put that.
Thanks for the lovely photos! Very clever. I never expected that you'd show us ume blossoms instead of cherry blossoms.
I was amused to see the bamboo shamoji in the rice cooker. I use a plastic one that came with the rice cooker. I want to buy a non-stick one some day.
I wonder how the fuki was seasoned. No mayo for the broccoli?
Edited to add: It sure was a sunny day today, even in my snowy area. I took two walks today, skipping the weeky house-cleaning.
Correction: Shamoji not shomoji (blush)
Have you never done hanami for ume? Highly recommended if the weather is right, since the crowds are much better than for sakura.
I think our rice cooker came with a plastic shamoji (my husband bought this a few years before we married so I'm not sure) but I never use it. The bamboo one just looks so much nicer! There was a time when I tried to use traditional wooden tools for everything, but I had to give some up when I realized how hard to clean they were. Now my otoshibuta (drop lid) is metal and our oke (bath bucket) is plastic.
The fuki was seasoned with dashi and a touch of soy sauce and sake. Absolutely no mayo on the broccoli! We both hate the stuff. Actually I no longer hate it but will only tolerate a little bit of it mixed up into something. I could never eat it alone as a condiment.

Food or drug "intolerance" or "sensitivity" is not food or drug "allergy," but they are often confused. Food and drug allergies are diseases of the immune system; an exaggerated response by your immune system to certain food or drug protiens. "Intolerrances" and "sensitivities" are reactions of your digestive system, not your immune system, to certain substances.
Lactose intolerance (also called milk or dairy intollerance) is one of the most common. It is the inability of your digestive system to digest lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products. It is caused by your body's deficiency of the enzyme lactase. Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough of lactase.
Babies' bodies produce this enzyme so they can digest milk, including breast milk. Before humans became dairy farmers, most people did not continue to drink milk, so their bodies did not produce lactase after early childhood. People from cultures in which adult consumption of milk and milk products occurred earliest are less likely to suffer from lactose intolerance than those from areas where dairy farming began more recently. As a result, lactose intolerance is more common in Asian, African, African-American, Native American, and Mediterranean populations than it is among northern and western Europeans.
Lactose intolerance can begin at various times in life. In Caucasians, it usually starts to affect children older than five years of age. In African-Americans, lactose intolerance often occurs as early as two to three years of age. When people with lactose intolerance consume milk products, they may have symptoms such as abdominal bloating, excessive intestinal gas, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping. Lactose intolerance is very common in adults and is not dangerous.
Many adults have some degree of lactose intolerance by age 20 (approximately 30 million Americans). Lactose intolerance is sometimes seen in premature babies. Full-term babies generally do not show signs of lactose intolerance until they are at least three years old. Eliminating milk from the diet can result in a deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, and protein. Therefore, a milk substitute is a necessity. For infants younger than two years old, soy formulas are adequate substitutes. Good alternatives for toddlers are soy or rice milk. Older children may also use lactase-treated cow's milk. Lactase deficiency may also occur as a result of intestinal diseases such as celiac disease, or it may follow some gastrointestinal surgeries. Temporary lactase deficiency can result from viral and bacterial enteritis, especially in children, when the mucosal cells of the intestine are injured.
Symptoms often follow ingestion of milk products and are often relieved by withdrawal of milk products. Large doses of milk products may cause worse symptoms. Removing milk products from the diet usually improves the symptoms. Other sources of calcium should be added to the diet if milk products are eliminated. Fermented milk products such as yogurt can usually be tolerated. Buttermilk and cheeses have less lactose than milk. Goat's milk can sometimes be tolerated but should be consumed with meals, not alone.
Choosing lactose-free milk and milk products may be helpful. Lactase enzymes can be added to regular milk or may be taken in capsule or chewable tablet form. Symptoms usually go away when milk products are eliminated from the diet. If you or your child has symptoms of lactose intolerance, consult with your physician regarding dietary substitutions. Also call if symptoms worsen or do not improve with treatment, or if new symptoms develop. There is no known way to prevent the development of lactose intolerance. If you have the condition, avoiding or restricting the amount of milk products in your diet can reduce or prevent symptoms.
