Moved to Buddhism in modern India[edit]
I've moved the article to Buddhism in modern India. I hope this will end the move war. User:Hkelkar and User:AMbroodEY were justified in moving the article to "Dalit Buddhist movement", because currently the article talks only about Ambedkar and his followers. I will add some information about others. I also request User:Pkulkarni to remain civil and not make remarks such as "People involved in violence are Hindus Or low-caste-Hindus they are not BUDDHISTS", "Anti-Indians" etc. Thanks. Oh, by the way, I'm neither Hindu nor Buddhist. utcursch | talk 14:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Don't forget to fix all the doube redirects. I'm not doing it again. The one who moves the page is supposed to do it. —Hanuman Das 14:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Utcursch, you archived discussions that had comments from earlier today. Could you please clean this up?—Nat Krause(Talk!) 14:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think any of the comments made on December 6, 2006 are of much interest. They include User:Hkelkar's reasons for move. And some comments by User:Pkulkarni such as "riots in India are laid by low-caste-Hindus", "change your BuddhistPhobia", "Anti-Indians are reverting article". I don't think these are worth discussing. I will move them here, if somebody wants me to. utcursch | talk 15:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with utcursch, it was a good decision. If the comments are going to be reintroduced, they should be refactored. Addhoc 15:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Utcursh, but dont we already HAVE an article on Buddhism in India? अमेय आर्यन DaBrood© 17:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- This article is too large to fit in Buddhism in India. Besides, merging will only make Buddhism in India controversial. utcursch | talk 17:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I do not have any personal quarrel with anybody. But the name Buddhism in modern India is proper. Because India got independance since 1947 and we also became one country. The Buddhist conversion Movement initiated by Dr. Ambedkar is in 1956. So the title is proper. We can put link in Buddhism in India for Buddhism in modern India. Pkulkarni 18:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- The link already exists at Buddhism_in_India#Modern_revival. utcursch | talk 18:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- "Buddhism in modern India" should include information on Ladakh, Sikkim, Tawang, Tibetan exiles, etc. Is this the plan?—Nat Krause(Talk!) 18:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- At some point, we've got to do away with the first sentence. These are a variety of movements that all started for a variety of reasons. I've no intention or desire to cut Dr. Ambedkar out of the picture by my statement, but merely to suggest that has a bit more scope.
- The movement started by Dr. Ambedkar will be a specific and important part of this article, and as a relatively current event, will probably be expanded on in the near future.
- At some point, we've got to discuss the term "Neo-Buddhism". Not only is it widely used in news sources, but it's also used in books as well. In order to draw the average reader to this article, the term must be used at some point. HOWEVER, that does not mean that we should label the movement and people as such without quotes where-ever possible. I refer you to the first paragraph of the article on Cults as an example.
- Which brings me to my next, somewhat painful, suggestion. We have to specifically discuss Dr. Ambedkar's movement and the assertion by some that it is a Cult. We have to carefully examine what that word means, and how people are using it in this situation. If this is going to be a truly credible article, we've got to cover the bases.
- I invite anyone who is concerned or alarmed about my comments to discuss it first on my talk page, then we can bring it here when we've worked things out (particularly if you have concerns about my intentions with these statements). In the interest of getting things done quickly and well, I believe this would be the best thing.
- Thanks everyone for your hard work. NinaEliza 20:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- "Buddhism in modern India" should include information on Ladakh, Sikkim, Tawang, Tibetan exiles, etc. Is this the plan?—Nat Krause(Talk!) 18:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Nat Krause regarding the scope of this article, if this is going to be about all forms of Buddhism that exist within the borders of modern India. There is a similar issue with Tibetan Buddhism, which is currently about the tradition, but has a redirect from Buddhism in Tibet. Also, I agree with NinaEliza regarding inclusion of the term Neo-Buddhism. Addhoc 22:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, there's basically only one kind of Buddhism in Tibet. Not so in India.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 22:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, okay. But, why? Why not just have an article about the Ambedkar movement? The so-called "Neo-Buddhists" and the various Tibetanesque groups have almost nothing to do with each other.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 04:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well of course, we could have both.NinaEliza 05:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I wonder whether Dalit Buddhist users will ever agree to an article on "Ambedkarite Buddhism" or "Dalit Buddhism". That's the reason this move war started.Now that Pkulkarni (talk · contribs) and his/her socks have been blocked, I believe that we can have some constructive discussion here. These users were the ones who were opposed to a title such as "Ambedkarite Buddhism" or "Dalit Buddhist movement". And other users were opposed to a title like "Indian Buddhist revival". That's why I moved the article to Buddhism in modern India, hoping that it would put a stop to the revert war. If nobody has a problem now, I propose this: Merge the content related to non-Ambedkarite Buddhism to Buddhism in India and move this article to "Dalit Buddhist movement". Any objections or better suggestions? utcursch | talk 12:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I have objection. The dalit term is not an official term in any country. The Hindus are converting to Buddhism irrespective of particular Hindu caste. So the name dalit is absolute false. Indianbuddhist 12:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
First thought: It is a fact that many if not most conversions to Buddhism in modern India are conversions by dalits, and the term dalit is WIDELY used. I run into it all the time. Objecting to it because it's not official is beside the point.
Second thought: I do see the problem in distinguishing between a Jat converting to Buddhism and a dalit converting. If they're joining the same organization, then no distinctions should be made between them based on caste, which they have both rejected.
Third thought: ARE they joining the same organization? It seems from the article that there are MANY Buddhist movements in India, including the Ambedkharite movements. Throwing a grab bag of organizations together as one "movement" seems to mis-state the case.
How about moving most of the content to Buddhism in modern India? We could have a history section, listing all the people and "movements" involved, and a contemporary section that would list organizations and viharas. I would also want to see some information on how Buddhism is actually practiced by the supposed millions of followers. Home altars? Festivals? Marriage and funeral ceremonies? Seminaries? Daily prayers and meditation? Pilgrimages to shrines? Financial support of institutions? The impression I get from the article is that people "convert" as a political gesture, in mass ceremonies, and then don't practice at all. I would very much like to be proved wrong here, as I am a Buddhist and I'd like to know that I have dharma brothers and sisters in India. I'm not speaking from the viewpoint of an angry Hindu criticizing the dalits as traitors.
The rest of the information, that is specifically Ambedkharite, could perhaps be relocated to Ambedkharite organizations or some such title, without distinguishing between political and religious organizations. Zora 21:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- In reality Buddhism (in India and elsewhere) is represented by his holiness the Dalai Lama, a much more respected figure (everywhere) than Udit Raj, Athawale Ramdas Bandu, and Kancha Ilaiah.Bakaman 00:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Surely it's not up to you, or us, to say who should represent Indian Buddhists. If some self-described Buddhists follow a certain figure, we report that. If others follow someone else, we report that. It's as you were to say, "Hey, listen up Christians, I have declared the POPE your new leader." Zora 00:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, NinaEiliza, is right; the Dalai Lama is widely respected, but he can hardly claim to speak for all Buddhists.
- Zora, thanks for your comments. What are the various Buddhist movements in India that you're referring to, though?—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 00:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Is the name of this article going to be changed by dropping "Dalit"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs)
- As pointed out above, this article is not about Buddhism in India (which includes non-Dalits as well). There is a separate article about that: Buddhism in India. This article is about a specific topic, which is different from Tibetan Buddhism followed in parts of North India, or other schools of Buddhism. utcursch | talk 13:20, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Pkulkarni has been blocked for one month for running these sockpuppet or meatpuppet accounts, as confirmed by User:Dmcdevit[1]:

User:P K aya Kulkarni has also been blocked as a suspected case. Thought of dropping a note here, as all these accounts have been involved in edit/move wars related to this article. utcursch | talk 12:43, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm sure the info is much appreciated by everyone involved, including myself.NinaEliza 18:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, that's good to know. By the way, if you ever run into User:Dhammapal, please don't confuse him with the sockpuppet, User:Dhammafriend.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 02:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Title Change[edit]
I believe there is scattered consenus to change the title of this article to "Neo-Buddhism". However, I don't have time at the minute to write a descriptive paragraph that would explain the term. In the interest of having an article that makes sense, I think we should keep the title as it is, until we can agree on some definitive statement. More later. NinaEliza 18:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Neo-Buddhism already redirects to Dalit Buddhist movement. utcursch | talk 04:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- It's good to have some discussion going about the scope of this article. I think having an article specifically about the Ambedkarite movement sounds pretty good. On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with the scope that this article originally had: about the overall resurgence of Buddhism in mainstream Indian society (as opposed to Tibetan-related groups in the north who have lately become Indian citizens).—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 02:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I put that stuff (Anagarika Dharmapala etc.) in the Buddhism in India article, which is quite small in size and needs expansion. utcursch | talk 16:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Neo-Buddhism is definitely a more appropriate term, and so is Ambedkarite movement. Dalit Buddhist Movement sounds more "Buddhist" than this movement actually is. deeptrivia (talk) 13:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Even Elst says it's Buddhism, where are you getting this? Arrow740 17:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
I've rewritten the article. The diff is here. In my opinon, there is no original research now. So, I've removed both {{Cleanup-rewrite}} and {{Original research}} tags. Please feel free to put them back, if you've any issues. Thanks. utcursch | talk 04:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the re-write, it looks like a viable article now. I appreciate your effort.
- On a side note, I'm afraid that I can do no more than to check occasionally on the page. It's not that I no longer care, but frankly it's accumulated to much "baggage" for me at this time. I don't, however, abandon the hope that I can contribute to it at a later date.NinaEliza 04:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
The discussion is strange[edit]
It is very strange to know that BuddhistIndian account was blocked. I am very much surprised to know that it has been awarded as sockpuppet of somebody .. On what basis u did it? I am writing from a cybercafe. So any Indian Buddhist who tries to write will be braded as sockpuppet?? Coz most of the people share same views. The Hindu users are more interested to vandalise the articles with warped views. What is dalit buddhist movement?? Dalit is a vague term Hindu Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes are Hindus only.
There are some anti-Buddhist admisnistrators does it mean they can block very Indian Buddhists as sock puppet because everybody will write similar views. In the above discussion how many Indian Buddhists are involved to brand Indian Buddhists as Dalits?? Indianbuddhist 12:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Anagarik Dhammapala[edit]
The Anagarik Dhammapala Never started Dalit Movement. Dalit Movement was started by a poet Namdeo Dhasal who was born in Hindu Untouchable community. Now-a-days they are legally colled as Scheduled Caste and Scheduled tribes Indianbuddhist 12:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

International involvement[edit]
I have moved that section entirely to Buddhism in India, because it did not have much to do with the Dalit Buddhist Movement, but were about Buddhism in general. deeptrivia (talk) 02:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Rumpelstiltskin's edits[edit]
R has been inserting some extremely POV material. A newspaper article extremely contemptuous of Dalit conversions is touted as a "non-partisan" source, and there's now a section denying that Maharashtrian upper castes ever oppressed Dalits -- supported by one ambiguous line in a newspaper article.
It's late here but I'll see if I can do a rewrite tomorrow. The article might benefit from a clearer division into neutral material accepted by all, then opinions from supporters of the conversions, and finally opinions from opponents of conversions. Zora 09:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, I see you are here also. Well, I could say that Gail Omdevt (who holds Hindus in absolute and unequivoal contempt) is an extremely POV material and cited as a "non-partisan" source. That's like citing Kevin B. MacDonald on articles on Judeo-Christianity. Not wrong but need balancing.See, for instance, his section on
Christianity_and_antisemitism#Kevin_MacDonald.27s_theory_of_Christian_anti-Semitism. You seem to have an interesting pattern of double standard against Hindus, just like Talk:Partition of India. Rumpelstiltskin223 09:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- His sources seem legit.--D-Boy 04:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I second Rumpelstiltskin... especially as a Maharashtrian i find it obnoxious that the class 'a' Hinduphobe like Gail Omvedt is used a non-neutral source. Her rants against Marathas and Brahmins have earned her infamy in Maharashtra. Having said that, claiming that Maharashtrian upper castes never opressed the Dalits is nothing but far from truth. But the intesity of casteism in modern day Maharashtra is an another matter altogether. Amey Aryan DaBrood© 14:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
While Gail Omvedt does much to remain a controversial Ambedkar scholar, there are numerous other academics that provide complimentary or parallel critiques of the Ambedkar Movement. Key among these scholars are Elanor Zelliot, (see, From Untouchable to Dalit: Essays on the Ambedkar Movement. New Delhi: Manohar. 1996. or , Dr. Babasahed Ambedkar and the Untouchable Movement. New Delhi: Blumoon Books, 2004.), K. C. Yadav, (From Periphery to Center Stage, Ambedkar, Ambedkarism & Dalit Future. New Delhi: Manohar, 2000.)and Christophe Jaffrelot (Dr. Ambedkar and Untouchability: Analyzing and fighting Caste. Delhi: Permanent Black, 2005.) to name a few. They do not always agree but it's academics, and as someone entering the field I realize that disagreement is part of the game. Often, the most controversial aspect of Omvedts research it not her apparent antagonism towards high caste Hindus, but her application of historical materialism to the sub-field, an application of which she is hardly alone. Her academic work is concise and clear. Attempts to show that Ambedkar's Buddhist conversion can not be presented in isolation from his social and political movement, developing the academic tradition laid out by Zelliot. Ahir, another cited source, often focuses on the religious aspect of Ambedkar's conversion to the detriment of the social and political aspects of the Buddhist conversion. While there is certainly a religious aspect to Ambedkar's conversion, it would be remiss to ignore the socio-political ramifications of the conversion and it's place within the larger political movement of Ambedkar. Be careful of attempts to undermine the role of Ambedkar because of the apparent unpopularity of a single academic to the public, who is quite respected in academia. --Julesinman 09:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)-
All that being said, the section stating "It must be noted that earlier there wasn't much friction between upper caste Hindus and Dalits in the Marathi society, although sporadic incidents of discrimination have been recorded. Especially, the Marathas, who comprise close to half the Maharashtrian population have had good relations with Marathi-speaking Dalits. Indeed, the person who helped Ambedkar pursue higher studies was Shahu Maharaj, a Maratha prince. However, there has been a history of animosity between lower caste Marathi Hindus like OBCs (which include such castes as Kunbis, Malis and Telis) and Dalits. In fact, the Kherlanji Massacre was wrongly attributed by many to forward caste Maharashtrians, when it was perpetrated by a few members of the OBC Kunbi community." is inaccurate. It makes a broad generalization from a single news source about a specific incident without looking at the broader history of the region or the current political alliances. Elanor Zelliot provided an excellent history of the Mahar caste and its subservient role in village life in Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and the Untouchable Movement(Bluemoon books: Delhi, 2004). Oppression need not mean physical violence, but can also be negation of personal rights by restricting or proscribing the mobility of a specific group and placing that group at the beck and call of higher castes, a proscription that the Mahar faced and has been well documented. Since this section is based on a news source and has only one, rather week, primary source citation to back it up the paragraph on the relationship between the Marathi and the Mahar reeks of POV. Further, only the point about the violence in Khairlanji is corroborated by the source. the remaining is unsubstantiated and not backup up by the academic discourse. This edit needs to be removed as it stinks of political agenda and not sound historical judgement.--Julesinman 19:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I am now willing to participate[edit]
In my RfC response I stated that I would leave indefinitely until something was done about people like Dhammafriend, Holybrahmin, etc. Now that they are gone. I would like to announce that I am willing to work towards bettering this topic Thegreyanomaly 03:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
The Neo Buddhist movement is a political movement. It's far from what the Buddha taught whos aim was to leave society in search for ones self. Neo Buddhists movement is built upon hate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthseeker81 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Tried to add something about this Ambedkarite group, feel free to give more external references or make it even more balanced and factual. With a few revisions already. If someone above my (relatively rookie) Wiki skills would be so kind to start with, or help in, making headwords for the at least three 'Karuna Trusts'I found (one in UK linked with TBMSG, one in Kerala doing local medical work and the third in Sri Lanka) and then a disambiguation page on top of it? Headwords/topics themselves would remain quite basic, but it would help Wikipedia to show the audience at least that there is confusion possible...
--Erikdr (talk) 07:04, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Also added the link to 'Jai Bhim Hungary', which _is_ about untouchable Buddhism but in this case for Romani untouchables inspired by Ambedkar. It was not really wanted in the Bhimrao Ambedkar topic (that does mention Hungary) which makes some sense as Hungary is kind of 2nd generation derivation from his ideas.

Dalit Christian conversion[edit]
Is there a page on this parallel phenomenon amongst Dalits in India? It should also merit a mention in this article.
I get the impression that it is not as well organised as the mass Buddhist conversions, but somewhat better funded.-MacRùsgail (talk) 15:43, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Dalits and karma[edit]
The section "Distinctive interpretation" contains the following sentence:
- "Ambedkar's followers do not believe that a person's conditions at birth are the result of previous karma."
As source it gives Queen, Christopher S. and Sallie B. King: Engaged Buddhism: Buddhist Liberation Movements in Asia: NY 1996: 47ff. u.A. This sentemce seems to be incorrect; it is the result of an edit from 16:07, 14 October 2011, when the word "unfortunate" was removed: "a person's unfortunate conditions at birth". Unfortunately, I can't access p.48 of that source, but at page 47 it says:
- "Human suffering (the first noble truth in traditional accounts) is not chiefly caused by the sufferer's ignorance and cravings (the second truth) he held, but by social exploitation and and material poverty - the cruelty of others."
I'll make some changes. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:01, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- So where does it mentions "previous karma" that you added? Here "previous Karma" can be misinterpreted as "karma of previous birth". Better you should remove word "previous karma" if source accessible to you does not mention it.--Human3015Send WikiLove 05:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Going to extremes: Diving for gelatinous zooplankton in polar seas
Richard Harbison, Ph.D.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Friday, June 10, 2005
Pacific Forum – 12:00 Noon
Bipolarity, where extremely similar animals are found in both the Arctic and Antarctic, and not in between, was first documented in the 19th Century by Carl Chun. In order to better understand the origin of this phenomenon, we studied gelatinous animals, primarily ctenophores, in both regions. While there are a few species that seem to exhibit bipolarity, others are found in only a single region. The two regions are quite different, both geologically and hydrographically. It is clear that the only connection between the two regions is through the deep sea, which was not open to many species until relatively recently.

- December 31, 2014
Investing in adolescent girls has unique power to end global poverty. They weren't listened to when the Millennium Development Goals were set at the start of the century and it shows. As new goals are being drafted for the world, now is the moment to ensure they are not ignored again.
The Girl Effect spoke to 508 girls living in poverty in 14 nations around the world. What they had to say helped to form the Girl Declaration - a call to action to get the world listening to girls.
Listen to what the girls had to say and show your support for the Girl Declaration.

Tenor violin
A tenor violin (or tenor viola) is an instrument with a range between those of the cello and the viola. An earlier development of the evolution of the violin family of instruments, the instrument is not standard in the modern symphony orchestra. Its tuning, typically G2 D3 A3 E4 - an octave below the traditional violin, places the range between the cello and viola and thus is sometimes confused with the modern baritone violin which has the same tuning on the standard violin body. As a formal development, the 17th century tenor violin existed as an instrument with a body larger than a viola but with a short neck. In earlier designs, the tenor was played upright in the musician's lap. Tenor violin parts were written in tenor clef (4th line C-clef).
Improvements in string technology in the 18th century led to greater focus of sound coming from the viola and cello ranges leading to a diminished role for tenor violins and violin makers constructed fewer of these instruments. It is known that Antonio Stradivari constructed two different models of tenor violin as well as tenor variations of violas.
In the modern new violin family or violin octet, the tenor violin exists as an instrument tuned an octave below the violin and approximately the same size as a 3/4 cello. The baritone violin in the same is an enlarged version of the cello.
Tenor Violins were again becoming somewhat popular in Germany during the late 19th century to the early 20th century featuring four strings tuned to G D A E with the G string tuned to the same octave as the modern Cello. They were meant to be played on the lap same as the medium sized Viola da Gamba. The fingerboard has a similar fretted fingerboard as the Viola da Gamba, and the body is eighteen inches long and 30 inches long overall and the ribs being 1/8th of an inch higher than today's standard 16 inch viola. They are much more difficult to play as the finger falls on the E string directly on top of the raised fret and then ever so little behind the fret more and more progressively so that the first finger falls for the A on the G string more closer to the fret behind.the frets are removable on some of the late 19th century tenor violins. The smaller size tenor violins from this same period are comparable in size to a modern day 15 inch viola but with much variation in shape to create the extra volume to make suitable the instrument to suit the tenor octave as well as the fingerboard being an inch longer than the standard modern 15 inch viola and the tail piece being shortened by about 2 inches all changing the tension within the body of the tenor violin and strings, thus dropping the tuning of the violin to GDAE in the cello octave and creating an incredibly marvellous mellow sound. The variations in size of body correspond in golden ratio with the changes to the fingerboard and tail piece length. On the oversized tenor violins the bow response is slow and heavy compared to the violin and more comparable to Cello. On the smaller sized tenor violins the bow response is similar to the viola. Modern viola strings best suit these violins, fitting violin strings and using longer tail piece does not work so well nor create the best sound and using quarter to half size cello strings does not suit at all.
The large German Tenor Violins of this period create a beautiful and loud resonance with choir or orchestra which greatly amplifies their sound, more so with choir than orchestra. This tenor violin is so sensitive to choir that it will, in combination with choir, produce a resonance sound loud enough that can be easily heard by the player even when nothing is used over the strings. Many of these were configured with bass bar and sound post combinations situated in the reverse of today's modern violins to enable German Table Violin players to play without changing their technique. If the Tenor violin has the reverse configurations, the strings can, amazingly, still be fitted as per a typical modern violin with no alteration to the sound. The bridge is no longer commercially available and is best constructed of a half or quarter sized cello bridge with feet cut short to accommodate the difference. Viola bridges are unsuitable being too thin and low causing wolfy notes, especially on the E string but a violin master can make an oversized viola bridge to suit and this works well. This tenor violin has the body after the Stradavarius pattern, the fingerboard similar to the Viola da Gamba, and the tuners similar to the double Base, and strung with viola strings. The E string especially sounds very much like the large base viola da Gamba.
By analogy with the vocal quartet of soprano-alto-tenor-bass, a few composers featured the tenor violin as the voice between the alto of the viola and bass of the cello (e.g. Felix Draeseke or Sergei Taneyev. In contemporary musical improvisation these instruments are again finding a place.
Modern incarnations of the tenor violin are the viola profonda and the violotta (both held at the shoulder).
Classic tenor violins[edit]
Modern makers of tenor violins[edit]
- Tenor violins played at the shoulder like a violin or viola:
- J.C. Letellier (France, c. 1925)
- Alfred Stelzner (Germany, c. 1890 - Violotta)
- Harry Vatilliotis (Australia, c. 2000)
- Johann Reiter (Germany, c. 1950)
- Gerardo Yañez (Bolivia, 2007, Viola Profonda)
- Alexandr Shchipanov (Russia, 2014)
- Tenor violins played vertically like a cello:
- Carleen Hutchins (United States, c. 1970, tenor violin, part of the New Violin Family)
- Robert J. Spear (Ithaca, NY USA 2000–present, New Violin Family)
- Joris Wouters (Westerlo, Belgium 2000–present New Violin Family))

Preacher: Obama behind murder of woman in Washington
An American birther preacher has accused President Barack Obama of assassinating a woman in order to keep secret a love affair with the woman, who had given birth to an illegitimate daughter. 34-year-old Miriam Carey, a young dental hygienist, was shot to death on October 3 after she tried to ram her car into a barrier outside the White House with her baby strapped in the car. Rev. James David Manning, pastor of Atlah World Missionary Church, says the deceased mother from Connecticut was murdered so that Obama's secret affair and love child could be kept secret. "No one has come to the aid of this slaughtered woman, which means they are protecting something that they feel is far more important, and that's the hardcore, incontrovertible evidence and that which is being protected is Barack Hussein Obama," said Manning, adding, "Case closed." A website called What Does It Mean? claimed in October that Russian authorities had intelligence showing that Obama fathered Carey's child during an emergency dentist visit on May 18, 2011. According to the theory, Obama who was going to deliver a speech at a graduation ceremony at the US Coast Guard Academy in May 2011, stopped at the dentist office because he needed an emergency dental attention as a piece of pistachio had lodged in one of his back molars. While the president was there, he struck up a friendship with Carey, who became pregnant shortly afterwards, the website claims. Carey refused Obama's request to have an abortion, at which point Obama "lured" her to Washington and had her killed, the website claimed. AT/ISH

New York Skyscrapers As Ancient Temples
By MICHAEL FRANK
Published: July 4, 1997
IMAGINE the death of Manhattan. It is far off, perhaps a millennium distant. The center of gravity has shifted away from this queer and querulous lozenge of real estate and settled in another part of the world, a cyberworld maybe, maybe a world still unimagined -- or unimaginable. Time and wind and water have ravaged the natural and the man-made alike, and the city's familiar face has eroded in some places to the skeleton underneath. Manhattan strikes the future observer the way ancient Athens or ancient Rome strikes us now -- as fragmentary, enigmatic, a memento mori at once powerful and poignant.
What does this future visitor see? Strange extrusions reaching gallantly toward the heavens, a veritable forest of them. Some, he concludes, were embellished, some plain. Some were brick, some limestone, others glass. Many have an unusual ziggurat shape, stepping back at mysterious intervals; others are slabs. Some are moderate, others taller, still others aspire to be the tallest of them all. Most are divided into floors of equal height, and these floors are further divided into cubicles of unequal size. Many people congregated in these buildings. Here they transacted business, here they sought shelter from the elements, here they lived and they died.
The visitor beholds, of course, a graveyard of skyscrapers. They are our temples, after all, our Parthenon and our Pantheon; only the god worshiped in them is Mammon. Ruined or whole, skyscrapers certainly say as much about the city and culture -- and sensibility -- of Manhattan as those venerable ancient edifices say about the civilizations that produced them.
Now imagine that, by some act of instantaneous, Pompeii-like preservation, two current exhibitions, one at the new Skyscraper Museum on Wall Street and the other at the Museum of the City of New York, were sealed up and saved for our future visitor. What would he learn from them about these magnificently complex structures? What do we?
The Skyscraper Museum's debut exhibition, ''Downtown New York: The Architecture of Business/The Business of Buildings,'' approaches the skyscraper from the inside out. Carol Willis, the curator and founder of the museum, is the author of ''Form Follows Finance'' (Princeton Architectural Press), and both at the museum and in her book she emphasizes the machinery of the skyscraper -- its financial underpinnings, engineering feats and the program of its interiors -- over the facade. Her slant is fresh, rigorous and informative, although in its zeal to chart new ground it tends to diminish somewhat the role of design in the finished building.
The Skyscraper Museum fills a surprising gap in the city's inventory of museums. The history of New York begins downtown, of course, and after Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, a visitor should, Ms. Willis says, experience Wall Street to understand how New York became the center of capitalism. ''A tour of these downtown canyons is essential,'' she observed recently. ''And so is understanding how they came about.''
Ms. Willis has arranged the inaugural exhibition in a kind of canyon of its own, in a vacant banking hall at 44 Wall Street, a skyscraper completed in 1926. Two panoramic views of Broadway, from Bowling Green to Liberty Street, set the scene: one is from 1909, the other from 1996. They hang overhead, facing each other as if to constitute the actual street, while beneath them the space has been divided into separate rooms, each featuring a different aspect of the ''business of buildings,'' among them rent, height, real estate cycles and the office. The installation tells its story with maps, models, period photographs and postcards, construction records and abundant edifying text.
A quote from Cass Gilbert, the architect of the 1913 Woolworth Building, provides the tone for much of the museum: ''A skyscraper,'' he remarked in 1900, ''is a machine that makes the land pay.'' And it pays more the closer it is to Wall Street -- or did in 1903, when land values were highest ($350 to $400 a square foot) at Broadway and Wall, while only two blocks away they fell precipitately (to $25 a square foot), as a vintage map documents. The importance of location, a real estate adage, is confirmed once again.
Yet even at a choice site, unchecked development is not always profitable: at some point, making a building taller becomes more expensive than it's worth; the money gained in rent does not cover the investors' costs. The exhibition explores this relationship, which Ms. Willis calls ''economic height,'' while at the same time addressing the other kind of height -- engineering -- that makes skyscrapers feasible. Using evocative images of notable skyscrapers under construction, along with contractors' records and wall text, the exhibition charts the progress of skyscraper engineering.
We learn how the use of caissons made the excavation for early skyscrapers possible; how hot-driven rivets enabled them to rise higher; how the challenge of wind bracing was met in different generations, and how ''building skyscrapers is the nearest peacetime equivalent of war.'' This remark is from William A. Starrett (Starrett Brothers & Eken were the contractors for the Empire State Building), one of Ms. Willis's ''all-time heroes.'' Why such exalted stature?

Photos: Sefko's Mavs' roster outlook for 2013-14 - keepers, sleepers & weepers
Photo: Louis DeLuca/Staff Photographer
WEEPERS: G Roddy Beaubois. Key numbers: Had the lowest output of his career, averaging just four points and 12 minutes per game. He also missed 37 games to injury. Contract: Unrestricted free agent. Opening day age, 2013-14: 25. Outlook: No player has been more polarizing the last few seasons as Beaubois. He would show glimpses of all that ability but rarely could sustain it for more than a few games. He also was hurt again, ending the season early with a broken hand. The Mavericks invested four years in Beaubois, but it might be time to cut the cord. Roster meter: 20 percent.

When someone mentions LinkedIn, you'll probably hear the response, "Yes, I have my resume posted there; great networking site for job seekers." Saying that LinkedIn is a great place for personal networking is only stating half the truth. The site's new features are enabling businesses to make great networking connections with other businesses and, more importantly, with potential customers.
Using LinkedIn for business social media marketing is fast becoming an effective way to create sales and get brands noticed, no matter how big or small the firm.
The LinkedIn Company Page
Similar to your Facebook Business Page, the LinkedIn Company Page is a great tool for connecting with customers. Used properly, the Products and Services section on this page can become an online brochure for all that you can provide.
A "Special Offers" link is one example. Create this link in the Products and Services section then talk about the great things customers can get if they click through. Or use the link to offer a discount code good for a purchase from your website.
However, this page won't do you much good if no one knows about it. Drive traffic to your LinkedIn Company Page by promoting it on social media sites, emails and other appropriate settings.
Other Ways To Connect Using LinkedIn
If you're really committed to marketing your company to potential customers, LinkedIn offers many other options.
Monitor Your Efforts And Results
Once you've implemented the strategies above, remember that they don't run on auto-pilot. Trends change fast in any market and it's important to monitor efforts and adjust them as necessary.
Update your company status on a regular basis and check comments/feedback to see what's working and what needs updating. Keep your Company Page fresh by adding new videos, images and apps or by running special promotions every so often. Remember that is page can also be found by the various social media search engines.
LinkedIn offers a really unique way to market your business. Using it may require a little more time and effort, but the results you'll get in the form of industry and customer connections are well worth it.
Hopefully you found at least one thing you can use in this post. That's always my goal. So, check my blog often. Alternately, get on my mailing list and you'll get my blog/newsletters delivered right to your e-mail in-box.

Greetings! I just joined this site. I used to be an avid biker (before I learned to drive), but I haven't really ridden in years...decades really. I'm just getting back into biking. My dad bought me a steel blue s12s in 1981 and I can remember the excitement of going to a LBS to pick one out. My dad wanted to get me a bike and the other one we (more like my dad) was considering was the Raleigh SuperCourse. Which one was the better bike?
Anyhow I remember the bikes that hung on the walls of the shop and the smell of rubber, manufactured metal, plastic, and probably chemicals - all of which now I attribute to good bike smells. I had a choice of colors - steel blue, ebony, or...brown I think it was. I chose the blue and I still have it to this day. I've replaced the suntour vx RD with vx-GT then with a shimano altus. I've replaced the brake hoods, a few of the cables and the bar tape. Rest of the components are stock original. It's still a pretty good ride at 25 lbs or so.
I'd like to know what component I can upgrade to in order to drop the weight. How much would I have to spend to do these upgrades? or should I keep it as is as it's running fine? I do have some newer bike envy (anything newer than 81) so I've been thinking of selling this bike and buying another one (steel or titanium framed) or just upgrading this one and buying another one. Thoughts? Thanks!
On a side note what tools should I get to work on bikes? I don't mind spending money on tools....

Somebody smack the dog owner for even thinking that the bike rider was in any way responsible!
"Pain is weakness leaving the body"......yea, right!
- most dog owners are responsible, but in the past year i have met some very, very stupid dog owners...
As a mailman, I'd say that attitude exists in about 50% of dog owners, or more.
Silver Eagle Pilot
There are two kinds of people in the world, as watching Judge Judy will demonstrate:
- Those that get it (the bike rider in this case)
- Those that are clueless (the dog owners in this case)
"What about the 55,000 Americans who'll die on the highways this year? That's nearly 6 or 7 times the number that'll get killed in Vietnam. Why aren't you up in arms about that? Or is dying in a car somehow moral?" - Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday lecturing some no-good dirty hippie-punks on Dragnet 1968
Thanks for the link.
I especially liked the part of the defendants claim that the cyclist was there at the wrong time and the wrong place, and that it was his fault for hitting their dog.
Lame, but beautiful

DOG OWNER; "...he had plenty of other roads to ride on!"
Vehicular cycling techniques have not been tried and found difficult. They have been presumed difficult and not tried.
Owners like these seem to be everywhere. Am I the only one who feels that allowing a dog to chase people should be a criminal offense? I bet he is one of those guys who lays on the horn as he passes too! Judge Judy did great.
Judys great !
Dog owners are one of the most inconsiderate
blocs of humans we suffer today. I am reminded
of this by the people on every block of every city
who let their dogs bark, tied up outside for hours at
a time. And sadly enuff, a lot of these humans who
inflict themselves on the poor canines in their role as
'owner', will or have reproduced.
Letting dogs run "at large" is a crime here in Tennessee. The law essentially establishes almost strict liability for damage by such dogs. Which is useful; we've got a claim right now against a dog owner that has resulted in all medical and property damage being covered so far, with no release signed yet. Without the at large law we would likely have had to sue to establish liability.
Back in the old days, special light guns were marketed just for cyclists to deal with dogs. Unfortunately I expect people have the same respect for and skill with guns these days as they do with cars. But I've thought about a taser and a big stick. Dogs get trained pretty easily through trauma.
Did you hear Mrs. Jones ask 'if I was backing out of my driveway and he hit me, he wouldn't have any responsibility at all?' I more than chuckled at that. I actually hoped Judy would reply with 'Well, of course not, you silly woman! You are not supposed to enter a roadway until traffic has cleared, until it is safe to do so.' The defendants both have a very odd sense of responsibility and right and wrong. Victims are not at fault.
Good link. Thanks for posting it!
The slow down is accelerating
Also, I'm not sure if "poor dog ownership skills" is a genetic trait Maybe if they reproduce they can have their kid walk the dog once in a while.
Thank you. My dogs stay in the house and occasionally venture into in the back yard. Once in a while they bark at other dogs behind or beside us or at someone walking in the front door. I would be very angry if my dogs got out the front door and got hit in the street, but there's no way I could blame the driver/rider in the road.
Now about the people down the street......
"Pain is weakness leaving the body"......yea, right!
I've always found it curious that "bike riders" aren't necessarily frowned upon by most people but "cyclists" are. If a housewife wearing bermuda shorts, a t-shirt and no helmet had run into the dog, I bet the dog owner would have been mortified and you certainly wouldn't have him saying it was the bike riders fault. However, as "cyclists" with our expensive bikes, bright-colored lycra and helmets, we're considered to be more of a nusiance for some reason. For example, a guy in jeans and a baseball hat plodding alongside the rode on a bike carrying a grocery bag would rarely be yelled or honked at by motorists like we are on a routine basis. Why is this?
Monk asks a very good question, and his premise is clearly correct. Think about it like this: The causal jogger plodding past is non-threatening because he is a lot like the people walking along the sidewalk. The runner who zips past is more alien - she's doing something the average person can't do, and some people view it almost as though she is mocking them ("Look how darn good at this I am!") It's not true, of course, but that's how many people look at it. It's the same with cycling, and even moreso. Most folks have ridden a bike, but I bet fewer than 10% have ever gone over 15 mph, and less than 1% have done a mile at 15 mph. So someone going by at 20, and dressed oddly to boot, is just plain showing off. Am I right?
Regarding the video, it's simply scary how clueless so many people are. That's why it is so important to ride defensively.
1) If you look like you're riding for transportation vs riding for recreation, it might make a difference. There is no validity to that either - but worse than being on their road in their way, is appearing to cost them an all-important 2.6 seconds while frivolously playing with a toy.
2) Acquired hostility: roadies in flashy jerseys on expensive bikes are the most visible cyclists. They are often seen riding in large packs, sometimes obstructing traffic and violating the right-of-way of others at red lights and stop signs.
There are 3 significant "racer" groups in this town and in all three areas where they ride, there is a significant increase in motorist hostility to cyclists.
Also, I noticed a decrease in harassment when I switched from wearing a cycling jersey to a T-shirt while commuting. I'm still going 18-20 mph.
That was a great link and what a couple of idiot dog owners.

The plaintiff in the case is a member here; I believe he posted a thread on this attack (with a link to the video) some time in the past.
I actually made the switch because of sweat. I get soaked on the way to work regardless of what I wear, but the jerseys STINK after they dry. In summer, I ended up having to carry a second one with me to wear home. Cotton isn't laundry fresh, but at least it doesn't reek.

Tafelsig fire claims fourth victimComment on this story
Cape Town - A fourth person died on Tuesday afternoon after a fire in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, an official said.
Christina Lotz, 67, succumbed to her burn wounds at GF Jooste Hospital where she was being treated, Western Cape health department spokeswoman Faiza Steyn said.
Lotz was the fourth one to die after a fire that destroyed a house and a backyard dwelling in Tafelsig on Sunday evening.
Minnie Simmons, 42, Charlene Simmons, six, and Amanda Claasen, 19, died in the blaze.
Lotz and seven-months-old Nathan Claasen - not seven-week-old as it was reported - were taken to hospital with deep burn wounds.
Claasen was still receiving treatment in the Intensive Care Unit at Red Cross Children's Hospital.
Disaster management centre spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said the cause of the fire was still being investigated. - Sapa

Footage from the night of Sept. 11 might be the clearest evidence yet of a military-style assault on the consulate in Benghazi.
Neither the Indian consulate nor a representative from ICE in El Paso responded to requests for comment on this story.
Its exact role in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 is still unclear.
Christopher Stevens and three others near the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
On Friday evening, they attended a private dinner at the British consulate, where they met Victoria and David Beckham.
And I went up to the consulate and had a talk with Colonel Hefferan about it.
He returned to the consulate to talk over the matter with the trusty Scanlons.

1c ground flax meal (see note)
1 ripe banana
1/2tbsp date paste
1/2tbsp cinnamon
1tbsp coconut oil
water, as needed
Recipe Directions
Blend the banana to puree it. Mix in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. The batter will be pretty stiff; I use a spoon to shape it into a pancake and smooth it out. The batter will keep in the fridge for several days.
Serve topped with fruit and a drizzle of agave nectar. I like to mix sliced strawberries in a bowl with a bit of agave nectar and let it sit for about ten minutes, which brings out the natural sweet juices of the fruit. For a super special weekend pancake treat, top with a fudgey raw chocolate sauce (http://kellysfacesmells.blogspot.com/2009/07/tarts-and-raw-chocolate-sau...)!

oh my god! i've made this at least five times and they've been so delicious! Sometimes I forget the cinnamon, because that's just me, but they're still yummy! favorite raw breakfast. :)
Yum! Made this for breakfast (super fast) and loved it with strawberries and blueberries! My Dad thought it needed something else, too dense for him even for a pancake.
Anything other than water that could be used to light it up?

Cinnamon banana pancakes
I live in the Cayman Islands and have very basic (but very cool!) deyhadrator gig going, so dehyrated mine for 6 hours. I love these cookies and keep a batch around at all times now. I have used sunflowers seeds too. Yummo! I was a short on flax and used a little raw coconut flour for one batch-this rocks too. By the way, your blog is totally awesome!

Cinnamon banana pancakes
Ever since I found this recipe, I have made these pancakes every Sunday morning topped with raspberries and kiwis and a touch of agave. My kids just love them! I love how they are so quick and don't need to be dehydrated.
I added pumpkin seeds, and dehydrated them and made them these as cookies. They are great! thanks for creating this recipe.
about 4 hours, but i let the others sit in for about 6-7 hours and they were even better! num num num
omg!!! that sounds so good! i must try this! how long did you dehydrate it for?
If you just wait till the inside is soft and the outside is firm....its like a warm oatmeal cookie biscuit thing... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM lol im gonna put a little maple syrup on mine and have a ....Oatmeal cookie Maple biscuit thing
omg let me know how it worked when dehydrated!! so anxious to hear!!
the pancakes weren't as firm as i would of liked them, and i would prefer it warm so i made thicker patties and put them in the dehydrator.
instead of date paste i put raisens and blended it with the banana along with only 1/2 Tbs of coconut oil.
I also added a little vanilla extract. cant wait for dinner time :D
i did try the finished product before putting it in the dehydrator and its soooooooooo good.
omg i am soooooo making these for dinner :D
lovely, no dehydrator needed
do these require dehydration?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is paying tribute to his new FBI director.
The president plans to speak at an installation ceremony later Monday for James Comey at FBI headquarters a few blocks from the White House.
Comey was a top Justice Department official in the Bush administration and took over last month for Robert Mueller (MUHL'-ur), who stepped down after 12 years of heading the agency.
Comey has taken over an agency that has shifted from primarily focusing on domestic crime to also fighting terrorism in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Czech Republic had a tough first Olympic game against the favored Sweden hockey team on Wednesday afternoon. Sweden jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second period before two quick goals by the Czechs cut the lead to 4-2. Though they brought it within two scores, the game was otherwise dominated by Sweden.
Capitals wing Martin Erat had a rough afternoon with a delayed penalty call in the first that set up a goal, and took a big hit in the third period. He appeared on ice for just over 12 minutes spread across 17 shifts.
--Erat was whistled for tripping ten minutes into the first period, a delayed call that set up a man advantage for Sweden. Swapping Henrik Lundqvist for an extra attacker at even strength helped set up Sweden's first goal of the afternoon. Erik Karlsson fired a slapshot past goalie Jakub Kovar and Daniel Alfredsson who was camped out in front of the net.
--Erat took a big hit from behind in the third period at the 6:28 mark that led to a penalty for Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Ekman-Larsson was battling Erat for a puck on the boards when he hit him high and from behind. Erat crashed to the ice and a fight nearly started in retaliation between the teams.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Question from xioncrush
Where can I find the broom for "Spring Cleaning"?
"Kill a guard with a broom." Sounds like an awesome idea! Too bad I have no idea where to find a broom in the game. Anyone seen this yet?

Normal NPCs can be seen sweeping so you have to knock them down (or just barge into them) to get them to drop their broom and ten you can pick it up like a normal weapon.
as to where to find it that might be a bit difficult. I think the sweepers are random so i don't know if this applies to everyones game or just to mine but in the courtesan mission where you have to follow the courtesan and kill the person she is meeting there is one on the way to where you first see her.
other than that, just keep your eye out for someone sweeping and then take their broom.
