Temples in and around Thiruvannamalai
Last updated on: 28th May 2012
The official website of Annamalaiyar temple is here:
There are huge number of temples and ashrams in the Girivala route and the most important ones are:
- Ashta (eight) lingams at the eight directions with each one being associated with one or more birth stars.
- Sri Ramana maharishi Ashram – the official website is here
- Sri Seshadhri Swamigal Ashram
- Sri Yogi Ram Surathkumar Ashram
- Plenty of places/ caves connected with Sri Ramana Maharishi
Thiruvannamalai is very much associated with Sri Ramana Maharsihsi, Sri Seshdhri Maharishi and Yogi Ram Surathkumar. The book 'Arunachala Mahimai' by Bharanidharan is the book to know about these saints and Thiruvannamalai in detail.
The most detailed Blog on Thiruvannamalai is here
In and Around Vandavasi
Swayambu Jalakandeswarar, Ranganatha Perumal and Kottai Baktha Anjaneyar temples at Vandavasi Fort
All the temples are located within the Vandavasi Fort in Vandavasi town and are being maintained by Archeological Survey of India (ASI). There are stone inscriptions in LIPI language here.
Venguneswarar Temple at Vengundram
Just a km from Thennangur enroute to Vandavasi this Shiva temple at the top of a big and steep hill can be seen from the road itself. It's a tough hill to climb most part of it don't have proper steps. It will really be a thrilling and adventures trip for anyone to go there. Make sure to go in a group or atleast minimum of 2 people and avoid children and aged people. Nobody and nothing is available at the top. It seems there is no priest for the temple but a person comes to do pooja once in a month. It is an open temple with a Shiva lingam, Murugan, Vinayagar and some other deities. You can do pooja yourself. The ideal time to visit is in the early morning.
Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar and Lord Venkateshwarar Twin Temple at Avaniyapuram (also called Nava Narasimhar temple and Dakshina Ahobilam)
Located at Avaniyapuram 25 km from Vandavasi, en route Arani and Cheyyar Dam, this is a hill abode of two deities. One has to climb 70 steps to reach the first deity, Lord Narasimha found in a small cave (kudavarai koil), and ascend another 114 to have a dharshan of Lord Venkateswara. The unique feature in this temple is that along with Narasimhar, the Mahalakshmi Thayar also has the face of a lion(ess). There are totally nine Narasimha deities in this temple and so called Nava Narasimhar temple and Dakshina Ahobilam (the main one in Andhra Pradesh with nine Narasimhars).
The abode of Lord Venkateswara is at the top. There is a separate cave like enclosure in the prahara where we see Lord Varadaraja and Perundevi Thayar. Lord Ranganatha is seen on His serpentine bed with Ranganayaki Thayar. Sholingar Yoga Narasimha is in a sitting position along with Amirdavalli Thayar. Thus we see all the main pancha divya desa moorthies – Kanchi, Srirangam, Sholingur, Tirumala and Ahobilam. Avani means lion and the Lord is said to have obliged Brigu Maharishi by appearing before him in the forms of five divya desa deities. The temple is believed to have been built during the Pallava regime. It is heartening to note that all the shrines in the hill temple are well maintained.

Injimedu has a good connection with Ahobila mutt. Sri Sashta Parankusha swamy, the sixth Jeeyar of the Ahobila mutt had constructed and helped almost 60 temples and had put in lots of great scholars who were well versed in vedams to maintain those temples. One such place is 'Yagnamedu' which later became 'Injimedu'. This place was also called 'Yagna vedhikai', as lots of yagnams / Homams are performed here. Sri Injimedu Azhagiyasingar is the 42nd Jeeyar.
Sri Varadharaja Perumal Temple
Srimath Azhagiya Singar 45th Jeeyar had a great affinity towards Kanchi Sri Varadhar. So, as per his wish, Sri Varadhar and Sri Perundevi thaayar are installed in this temple.
Sri Yaga Samrakshana Ramar
From the time of Sri Sashta Parankusha Yatheendra Maha Desikan, it is said that Sri Ramar of this sthalam has found lots of Yagams and Vedams. Sri Ramar is said to be found almost 1500 years back and it is said that he emerged from a yagam, so he is called as "Sri Yaga Samrakshana Ramar". Problem in marriage, Puthra Bhagyam, etc., are said to vanish if we visit this sthalam and get the dharshan of this Sri Ramar. Specifically, if people born in Moola, Aayilyam stars have any problem in getting married, they can visit this sthalam, to get their problems solved.
Sri Thirumanicherai Udayar Temple at Perumalai
Temple: This small 200ft high hillock top temple has about 51 covered steps. So rain or sun will not affect the devotees. This is a 2500 years old temple which got ransacked about 700 years ago by various invasions. The Thirumanicherai Shiva lingam which was left alone without any pooja/ worship for nearly 700 years, finally got a facelift and the Kumbabhisheham took place in 1999. Sanghu theertham is present in the hill in the shape of Sanghu. It is said that there is a spacious cave here where Pampatti Chithar is living in the form of a snake.
Legend: Agasthiar worshipped here. Once on an ego battle between Brahma and Vishnu, they set off to reach the top and bottom of Shiva as a competition. During that time Thazamboo gave a false witness to Shiva that Brahma had reached the top of Shiva. Knowing this, Shiva cursed Thazampoo that it should not be used in any Shiva pooja. In order to get rid of the curse, it stands here as the Sthala Vruksham. Nandhi's footsteps are seen here.

Yoga Ramar Temple
This temple is located at 28 km from Arani and 27 km from Vandavasi (4 km before Chetput) in the Vandavasi – Chetput- Polur (Thiruvannamalai) route.
* One of the biggest temples for Lord Rama
* The biggest Vaishnav temple of Vellore and Thiruvannamalai districts
* Lord Rama is seen in a rare posture as Yoga Ramar in a sitting meditative posture without His usual Kothandam
Legend says that after the Vibhishana Pattabhishekam in Sri Lanka, when Rama was returning to Ayodhya, He notices on the banks of the Kaliyar, Sukha Brahmar, a saint in the form of a parrot, offering prayers to Him. The Lord alights from His chariot and just stands before the saint whose joy knows no bounds. The place where Sri Rama blessed the saint came to be known as Nedungunam, meaning noble quality. Although He was in a hurry to go to Ayodhya to save Bharata, Rama did not fail to pay heed to the prayers of a devotee.
The Kaliyar river starts from here through the waters of the nearby Dheerkachala hill and ends at the Maduranthaham lake near Chenglepat which was protected by Eri Katha Ramar. So both the temples are connected by legend.

This holy village is synonymous with Lord Sri Rama and Bhajans and is very popular for its Sri Rama Navami celebrations. Every year all 10 days of Sri Rama Navami is celebrated with utmost devotion by the natives. Though most of the native villagers have migrated and settled in various places, everyone gathers during these 10 days of Sri Rama Navami to celebrate Sri Rama.
It is said that this village was once called as Kashtaharampalayam (a place where ones difficulties are overcome) and in later days known as Kettavarampalayam (means granting boons as per wishes) as many devotees' wishes were granted by Lord Sri Rama here.
This is one place where one can hear, see and feel Sri Rama Nama round the clock on all the 10 days of Sri Rama Navami.

There's a very powerful Lord Shiva temple at the top of the Parvathamalai hill. Numerous Siddhars and spiritual beings from the celestial worlds worship here every night. Reaching the hill is somewhat difficult. Hence it is better to start early in the morning and return as early as possible. During the Full moon day, this hill attracts a lot of devotees. This is a place vested with a lot of spiritual power.

Brahmmadesam – Ennayiram – Esalam
This is the area connecting Ginee-Villupuram road and Tindivanam-Villupuram highways. It can be reached either by a) branching off at Perani junction in the Tindivanam-Villupuram highways and travelling through Periya Thachur or b) branching off at Nemur in the Gingee-Villupuram road. Note that there are many Brahmmadesams in Tamilnadu.
This is a very important location from the archaeological and historical front and most of the temples in this belt are being maintained by ASI with plenty of important inscriptions and idols unearthed. In 1987, a big treasure trove was found containing 23 bronze images, temple utensils and copper plate charter (royal order). The Esalam copper plate grant of Rajendra Chola is the third charter of the ruler to have been found so far. The Thiruvalangadu plates issued in his sixth year, and the Karandai (Tanjore) copper plates issued in his 8th year are the two charters of this ruler found earlier. The Karandai plates is by far the biggest royal charter to have been found inscribed on copper sheets-anywhere in India.
Ennayiram in tamil means 8000. According to local belief, 8,000 Jainas were executed here. There is another story that the Jains were not executed but they embraced Brahmanism. There is one more version that there were 8000 Brahmin- settlers from North India who were invited by Rajendra-I. In any case, there is a sect in Brahmin Iyers called Ashta Sahasram (meaning 8000) and this could be their root. Ennayiram was a flourishing educational centre during the Chola period. There are inscriptions about an university for teaching the Vedas with 270 students, hostel, hospital and doctors with their wage details. The Tamil poet, Kalamegam, famous for his puns, belonged to Ennayiram.
Brahmmapureeswarar Temple at Brahmmadesam

Azhagiya Narasimha Perumal Temple at Ennayiram
The Chola temple of Narasimha swamy temple was built by Rajaraja Chola 1 (985 –1014). When the floor of the "mukhamantapa" (entrance hall) was being removed, ASI found the longest "meikeerthi" (various titles and exploits) of a Chola king. The inscription actually runs to 80 lines, but only lines from 54 to 80 are unearthed and lines 1 to 53 are yet to be located.
The sanctum sanctorum has the idol of Lord Paramapathavasan and Consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi. The presiding deity is Lord Azhagiya Narasingar. The temple also has a shrine for the six-feet high idol of Lord Varahamurthy. Special puja is performed on every Thiruvatirai Nakshatram day.

* considered more ancient than Srirangam
* the biggest Perumal in Tamilnadu
Temple: The temple, on the banks of river Thenpennai, is called Uthira rangam and is more ancient than Srirangam. The main deity Sri Ranganathar in reclining posture is a suthai chirpam and is the biggest Perumal in Tamilnadu. Lord Vishnu takes the anantha sayanam position after every avatar. The ancientness of this temple can be well understood with the fact that this temple is believed to be after the first Vishnu avatar whereas Srirangam, Trichy is after the 7th avatar. A visit to this temple, by itself, is a great boon.
There is a musical sculpture here and if you strike it at different places, different swarams come out. This temple is not part of the 108 divya desams but many say that there are inscriptions that this place has been done mangalasasanam by Thirumangaiyashwar in 10 pasurams.

This place is connected with Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal or Sri Sri Anna as he is affectionately called. The official site http://www.srisrianna.org/srisri_paranoor1.html talks a lot about various spiritual activities. It seems Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal comes here on every Ekadhasi day and does Unjavridhi and the bhajans. I understand the place will be brimming with activities when he is present but otherwise is deserted as I saw during my visit. Better call up and go.

The temple is located between South Pennai and Malattaru, on the banks of South Pennai and the main deity is the Idaiyatru Nathar as a Swayambu lingam. On a Swathi star day, Shiva gave dharshan to Sukha Brahma rishi and taught Jothidam to him here.
Sukha Brahma Rishi is an expert in changing forms and once he changed into a parrot. He flew to Kailayam where he saw Lord Shiva was preaching 'Shiva secrets' to Parvathi devi and Sukhar wanted to know the secret. So he was flying around between Lord Shiva and Parvathi Devi. Parvathi Devi got angry and cursed him to be in the Parrot form itself. Sukhar then pleaded pardon and Shiva gave some relief to be in human form but with Parrot face. Sukhar penanced here Sukha Brahma Rishi is a devotee of Lord Rama.as well and he got Ramar's dharshan at the Yoga ramar temple at Nedungunam

Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal Temple at Perumbakkam
This 400 years old temple is at Perumbakkam, 7 km from Villupuram on the Villupuram-Thirukovilur Highway. The temple is associated with several Jeeyars of the Ahobila Mutt. Sri Injimedu Azhagiyasingar, the 42nd Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt, has proclaimed this village as the 'Dakshina Ahobilam'.
According to legend, Lord Varadaraja appeared in the dream of a Vedic scholar and directed him to retrieve the idols buried in his land called `Thoramaniam' and build a temple for Him and His Consorts. Accordingly, the idols of Venkata Varadaraja Perumal with Sridevi and Bhoodevi were retrieved and the temple was built. As per the inscriptions found in the temple, the main shrine of Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal with His Consorts was built with special granite brought from `Kalpattu', with ardhamandapam, mahamandapam, etc., in the year 1605 A.D., and other shrines for Perundevi Thayar, Andal, Bashyakarar, Nammazhwar, Vedantha Desikar, Adivann Satakopa Yathindra Maha Desikan, the founder and the first Jeeyar of Sri Ahobila Mutt and the front mandapam were all added later.
Perumbakkam has the unique distinction and honour of being the venue for choosing Sri U. V. Gopalacharya Swami as the 37th Peetathipathi of Sri Ahobila Math, by convening a sadas when the 36th Jeeyar, Srivann Satakopa Sri Srinivasa Yathindra Mahadesikan passed away without nominating a successor in 1898 when he camped here for nearly an year and performed Mangalasasanam to Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal. Sri U. V. Gopalacharya Swami assumed the thirunamam, Srivann Satakopa Sri Veeraraghava Satakopa Yathindra Maha Desikan. A staunch devotee of Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal, he adored Him as the replica of Kanchi Sri Varadaraja, on whom he has composed several slokas. Even though this Jeeyar adorned the peetam for only 11 months, he stayed in the village and worshipped Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal.

In and Around Thirukkovilur
Athulyanadheswarar temple at Arakandanallur
Location: The temple is located at about 3 km from Thirukkovilur towards Villupuram. The temple is located in a beautiful location on a hillock adjacent to the South Pennai river and is visible from a distance across the river. There are two entrances, one through the main road and the other through the river which is very scenic.
* One of the 275 Shiva temples glorified by the Thevara hymns
* Ramanar has meditated in this temple when he was a young boy.
* It is believed that the Pandavas visited Arankandanallur and that the temple tank close to the cave in which they stayed was created with Bhima's mace. There are two sunais (water streams) on the hillock which are said to have been used by Pandavas and Draupadi.
* There is an imprint of Thirugnana Sambandar's feet here. Sambandar is said to have miraculously moved a huge rock that had been placed to block the shrine. Thirugnana Sambandhar worshipped Thiruvannamalai from this hillock top.
* Worshipped by Prasanda rishi
The Temple: The 160 feet high Gopuram in this shrine (dating back to the 7th century) with three prakarams Rich in inscriptions, it received Royal patronage from local chieftains, the later Cholas and the later Pandyas. This is the south most rock-cut cave temple of Pallavas, with the solitary exception of Tiruchirapalli. Thiruvannamalai is visible from this hill. There is an idol of Ramanar as a young boy in a meditative posture and the temple is visited by many Ramana Maharsishi followers.

Anthili is a village about 2 kms south of Arakanda Nallur on the banks of the river South Pennai.
Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple at Anthili
Legend: Lord Maha Vishnu in the form of Narasimha came out of a granite pillar to kill Hiranyakasibu, the father and the tormentor of Prahalad. In this avtar, the Lord rushed to help
Prahalad without calling his vahanam, Garuda. So also in Gajendra Moksha. These caused much anxiety to Garuda who felt extremely depressed on being left out. He left Vaikuntam and was doing penance at Anthili. The severe penance of Garuda pleased the Lord and He gave dharshan as Lord Narasimha with Mahalakshmi seated on His lap. Due to Garuda's penance, Anthili thus became a sacred spot for all pilgrims.
The Madhwa seer Sri Vyasarajar visited Anthili and had dharshan of the Lord on top of a small hillock that looked liked Garuda to him. The same Vyasarajar became Sri Raghavendra in his next birth.
Temple: Subsequently, due to continuous raids by infidels, the temple lost its glory and importance. Paranur Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal renovated the temple and the kumbhabhishekam took place in 2004. At the temple, the Lord is with Mahalakshmi on his lap. The idol is small but the Lord's glory is great.

Veera Anjaneyar temple
The Madhwa seer Sri Vyasarajar consecrated this temple during the glorious reign of the Vijayanagar Emperors.
This is situated in the Cuddalore – Chittoor trunk road, 37 km from Villupuram and about the same distance from Thiruvannamalai. This town has two parts Kizhur and Melur. While Ulagalandha Perumal temple, one of the 108 Divya desams is located in Melur, the Veeratteswarar Temple, one of the 275 sacred Thevara temples is located in Kizhur. This is the birth place of Rajaraja chola. Meiporul Nayanar ruled this place.
Ulagalanda Perumal temple
- One of the 108 Divya desams
- Vamana Trivikrama Avathara Sthalam
- One of the five Krisharanya Kshetras.
- It was here that the three Mudal Azhwars (Poigai Azhwar, Bhoodathazhwar and Peyazhwar) met one night in a small room.
Temple: The presiding deities of the Temple are 21 feet Thiruvikrama Swami and Pushpavalli Thayar. The Moolavar is in Nindra, Nadantha (Ulagalantha) kolam facing East direction with his right leg lifted up towards the sky. Mahabali's pride bit the dust in this kshetra. Unusually, the Sangu and Chakrams of the moolavar have changed places and is seen with Sangu on the right hand and the Chakkaram on the left hand.
The temple was built about 2000 years ago in stages. Among the four towers that adorn the temple, the biggest one is in the eastern side that scales 195 feet and is the third highest structure found in Southern India. The courtyards in the temple are very large and present an exquisite feast to the eyes. The broad mandapam in front of the Thayar Shrine, especially, throws a challenge to the modern architecture, which is built in the cantilever system and affords a surprising sight. There are several sacred theerthams in the temple.
Sri Vishnu Durga: Worshiping "Goddess Durga" in a vaishnavite temple is unique. Usually, the Durga's sanctum will be present as Koshta God in most Shiva temples. But here, the sanctum is right in front of the sanctum of Lord Vishnu. After the Thiruvikrama Avataram, Goddess Durga sought permission from Vishnu to go back to Vindhya Mountain but Lord Vishnu advised her to stay here and bless the devotees. It was said that the Goddess is guarding the Lord Thriuvikrama shrine
Azhwars: During a dark and stormy night, the three azhwars Poigai Azhwar, Bhoodathazhwar and Peyazhwar reached Tirukkovilur separately by different routes. They found all houses shut, all choultries locked up except a narrow passage in the front portion of an ashram belonging to Mrigandu Maharshi. The first to reach was Poigaiazhwar, prepared to spend the night lay down. Sometime later, Bhoodathazhwar too discovered the same place. The space which was just enough for one to lie down is now just enough for two to sit. Later the third Azhwar, Peyazhwar also arrived in seeking shelter and now the three could at least stand comfortably. The famous phrase 'Oruvar padukka, Iruvar amara and Moover nirka' refers to this incident.
All of a sudden, they felt rather tight pressed. Where they were standing comfortably earlier, they now felt that the available space had diminished, as if a fourth person had entered the narrow passage and was crowding them. Apparently, someone had sneaked into the already constricted space without announcement and was standing as one with them. Later they found that it was none other than the Paramatma Sriman Narayana with Sri Mahalakshmi adorning his broad chest.
The three azhwars, inspired by the grand spectacle of Emperuman's glorious form in their midst, poured out their devotion in a hundred beautiful verses each, brimming over with bhakthi. These are the Pasurams which served as forerunners of the "Four thousand nectarine verses" that were to be composed by the other azhwars.

- One of the 8 Veeratta Stalams of Shiva
- One of the 275 sacred temples glorified by the Thevara hymns
Location: The temple is located in a place called Kizhur or Kizhaiyur.
Legend: The eight Veeratta Sthalams are where Lord Shiva vanquished various demons. Here He vanquished Andakasuran. The Periyanai Ganapathi shrine here had been worshipped by Poet Avvaiyar. Since it was getting late for the Poet to go to Kailayam, this Vinayagar is said to have lifted her up and placed ahead of Sundarar en route Kailayam.
The Temple: The moolavar here is a big Swayambu lingam. During the Kumbabhisheha work, when the area around the lingam was dug up, the base of the lingam was going well below 25 feet and so it was left untouched further. Although much in need of repair, frescos on ceilings are of interest. The Rajagopuram is about 70 ft in height and the temple has 2 praharams. Inscriptions from the Pallava, Vijayalaya I and Paranthaka Chola I periods are found here.
Durgai koshta God is here is very special since Her eyes appear with white eyeballs as real eyes though the idol has been sculptured in black granite stone. It's a wonder indeed! The Ambal temple is located separately.

Kabilar Kundru
This place, being maintained by the state Archaeological Department, is near the Veeratteswarar temple and is situated in the middle of the river Pennayar. After the death of Pari, the King who is said to have given his chariot to a jasmine creeper for its support to grow, his daughters Angavai and Sangavai had suffered a lot. The saint poet Kabilar, a good friend of Pari and the caretaker of the girls could not bear the pain of the sufferings of the girls had immolated himself on this rock.

Gnananandha Thapovanam
The history of the Matam, takes us back to the times of Adhi Shankara. Adhi Shankara established four Peetams of which Jyotir Matam is one, with Thotakacharya as the main functionary (Thotakacharya was Sankara's disciple). In this lineage the Fifth Peetathipathi was Sri Sivaratna Giri Swamiji. Sri Gnanananda Giri Swami was his principal disciple viz. Sixth Peetathipathi.
When His Guru attained Samadhi on a Chitra Pournami day, Sri Gnanananda Giri Swami was unable to bear the separation of his Guru and so left the Peetam and went to Manasarour, handing over the charge to his disciple. At Manasarovar, he practised vigorous penance for a number of years and travelled by foot to a number of places in India, Malaya (now Malaysia), Burma (now Myanmar) and Sri Lanka, and interacted and blessed his devotees. At last he reached Thirukkovilur and established the Ashram at the Thapovanam. He is a Siddha Purusha, transcending time and space.

Maintaining End-to-End Service Levels for VMware® Virtual Machines Using VMware DRS And EMC Navisphere QoS
Latest Revision:
Feb 5, 2008
With the increasing deployment of VMware® ESX Server for mission-critical applications, it becomes even more important to maintain the performance of these applications in virtual machines. The complexity of virtualization, especially when server and storage resources are shared across multiple components, makes it more difficult for an administrator to detect and solve performance problems.
Using CLARiiON®'s Navisphere® Quality of Service (NQM) product and VMware's Distributed Resource Scheduler allows you to maintain application service levels in virtual machines. This greatly minimizes the time and resources needed to manage and fix performance issues.

Entering his sixth year, Monroe will arguably be the most coveted free agent offensive lineman should he be available next week. The Ravens decided not to use the franchise tag on Monroe. How close are the two sides to striking a deal before the free agency period opens?

Heart Themed 1st Birthday Party (Dohl) Part 2 (33 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
We chose our venue because of the wall to ceiling windows that
showcased the stunning views of the NYC skyline. Unfortunately, the
weather that day was horrendous with hail and clouds but thankfully
the pictures still came out beautifully despite not being able to see
the skyline at all by the fog! Since I didn't have the budget to hire
a planner, I wanted the theme to be simple - girly yet elegant.
Guests were welcomed with mimosas which had paper straw flags guiding
them to their respective table numbers. Tables were simply decorated
with mason jars, baby's breath & pink rose petals. The banner that
hung above the candy/dessert table was a collage of my daughter's
growth each month in the same chair. Special details to look out for
are the heart charm raffle tickets, Hello Kitty Dragon tower &
cookies, pink ruffle cakes, kids' personalized goodie bags, Korean
rice cake favors, and the clear balloon backdrop.
The overloaded candy bar was filled with personalized M&Ms, pink rock
candy, strawberry pocky sticks, vanilla & salted caramel macarons,
pink grapefruit gummies, pineapple gummy bears, coconut jelly bellys,
yogurt covered pretzels, white chocolate covered oreos w/fondant
hearts, pink ombre heart cookies pops, & Hello Kitty dragon cookies.

Steel Group Home Page
Professor Steel directs the Biomolecular Laser Spectroscopy Laboratory jointly with Professor Gafni from Biological Chemistry. Research using advanced laser spectroscopy techniques is designed to provide insight into fundamental questions associated with protein structure and dynamics and related issues including protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions and the general problem of biomolecular recognition. Experiments and designed to explore the nature of structural changes that occur as a result, for example, of aging, or other factors that lead to well known diseases such as Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis and mad cow. Recent work includes their development of new laser techniques which enabled the group to discover that some proteins undergo structural changes following synthesis and biological activation in ways that were not detected by other methods. The groups primary laser based experimental approach is based on single molecule spectroscopy. Current work is now focusing specifically on understanding the origin of cellular toxicity in amyloidogenic diseases including Alzheimer's and type 2 diabetes. These diseases are characterized by protein deposits (plaques, etc) in the target tissue. The historical hypothesis has been that these deposits are the origin of the pathology. However, recent results suggest that the origin of cellular toxicity arises from the formation of small oligomers a long time before for the formation of the deposits. The small oligomers have been hypothesized to permeabilize the cellular membrane, leading to cell death. Studying the oligomers by conventional means is extremely challenging because they are highly heterogeneous, occur in small concentrations and have only a short life. Single molecule spectroscopy is perfect for the study of these structures. Our work is aimed at following the development of these oligomers and correlating the structure with the onset of cellular interactions and cell death.

If you use the Internet in any capacity, then you fall into one of two categories: you're either someone who has lost critical data, or you're someone who will. Yes, it sounds pessimistic, but that is the nature of Web use. If you use the Internet long enough, then at some point you're going to fall victim to data loss either in the form of a malware attack, data corruption or through physical theft or damage to hardware.
The obvious solution is to create a backup copy of everything either into a separate, external medium like a flash drive or via cloud storage. Even though creating a backup only takes seconds, it's a step that too many people neglect. Instead of a "better safe than sorry" mindset, most seem to take on an "it can never happen to me" attitude. Too often, these people learn their lesson the hard way.
Start with Your Word Documents and PDFs
Text Documents are the easiest to preserve due to the minimal space they consume. Even if you have a decade's worth of these documents stored in multiple folders, the combined storage it consumes probably only adds up to a few hundred MB. Everything can be stored in a flash drive or through a free online storage service. With the latter, you can quickly sync selected files into the cloud and back again should need be.
Photos, Music and Videos
With smartphones and tablets so commonplace these days, people love to snap photos and videos at even the most mundane things. How often have you seen social media users upload photos of their dinner or even some random object found on the sidewalk? Nevertheless, these photos as well as the ones you take with your family and friends are priceless and irreplaceable. Don't make the mistake of merely snapping photos and unloading them on your PC; add a cloud backup to the mix. Consider services like Pogoplug or SugarSync, which provide free apps for the Android and IOS that automatically backup your photos taken from your mobile.
Your music probably isn't the most important thing to back up. After all, whatever music you have in your library can likely be found on YouTube or other music stream site. Some are even ditching their music library altogether in favor of all-you-can-stream services like Spotify and Rdio.
Backing Up Your Calendar and Contacts List
Most people already have their contacts and calendars backed up without even realizing it. iPhones, for example, have the iCloud feature that can be enabled and will automatically sync data into the cloud. Similarly, most devices as well as sites like Gmail and Facebook have their own features where users can organize a contact list and create a scheduled calendar.
Don't Forget to Back up Your Email
Perhaps you have dozens of business emails that you need to preserve or maybe there was a series of email exchanges you shared with a significant other that you treat as precious digital mementos. There are multiple reasons that can attribute to lost email. This includes accidental deletion or having your entire inbox wiped clean by a hacker, the latter of which is common among business emails. Most cloud services have a one-click email backup feature.
Cloud Services to Consider
SpinBackup – If you use multiple Google apps, such as Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Photos, then this is the cloud service designed exclusively for your needs. SpinBackup uses OAuth 2.0, the most secure application programming interface developed by Google itself. It also uses Amazon S3 to store your backup, which you will be able to retrieve at any time even if Google is down. Lastly, the service accesses your account using a 256 bit SSL secure certificate. This is the same security certificate used by institutions where security matters above all else, such as banking and retail institutions.
Mozy – This cloud service takes its security seriously, as is evident with its ISO 27001 certification and SOC 1 SSAE 16 Type 2 audit. In layman's terms, this means that the company has been rigorously audited and has the credentials to back it up. All files are backed up via 256-bit AES key - the very same encryption used by the US military. Mozy's award-winning cloud backup services are available for personal use, local businesses and large enterprises on the corporate level.
Just Cloud – With Just Cloud, users benefit from unlimited cloud storage, 100% unlimited backups and the ability to share your files anytime and anywhere with friends through your email or social media accounts. In addition, its drag and drop feature allows individual files to be synced straight to all your devices. Just Cloud can also map the exact location of your laptop, allowing for tracking and retrieval in the event it is lost or stolen.
A cloud service is like insurance; it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. It goes without saying that you're going to be pulling your hair out of your head if you neglect to back up your service and something goes wrong.

You may have heard me on Nightingale Conant's audio products...where it actually all began to change for me in 2000 when I was first invited by Vic Conant into the Nightingale Conant recording studios to tell my Amazing life story. Recording in the same studios where World Class Speakers and Celebrities like Marianne Williamson, Brian Tracy, Harry Dent, Les Brown, Anthony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Seth Godin, Dan Kennedy and even Jay Abraham had all recorded before me was a very Special time for me. It is hard to believe that was 14 years ago when Nightingale Conant, the premiere leader in Professional and Personal Self Development adopted me into the Nightingale Conant Family. If you've ever been chosen...or hand picked by a company that's worked with some Remarkable people you know how good it feels when you become a part of that. It's always an Honor to be a part of the History that Legendary Speaker Earl Nightingale started with "The Strangest Secret" over 50 years ago.

Have you ever tried to work on your local code base of WordPress using a shared database (for example the database on staging/development server) with the rest of the team?
Normally it's not possible since WordPress stores the URL of the blog in the database and immediately redirects if the current host name doesn't match the stored value.
Using a centralized version of the database might be useful, in particular if more developers are working on the same blog and they don't want to replicate locally all the settings of the database in staging/dev.
Here is a plugin for that:
Just copy and paste this in a file inside the plugin directory (for example /wp-content/plugins/disable-redirect.php).
P.S. There are similar plug that works on the redirect_canonical filter, which works for the home page, but it doesn't for the administration panel. This plugin cheats WordPress faking the option "siteurl" and "home".
Works nice for blogs hosted in the root directory of the domain, for blogs hosted in subdirectory additional PHP might be required in the fake_siteurl() function.
Pay attention on disable the plugin in a production environment since it could compromise the blog security.

A cosmetic company that develops an SPF 10 product is behind the times because the formulators should know better (and be up on current regulations) when formulating sun-care products. You're better off not including sunscreen in your lip balm than bothering to formulate one with a below-standard SPF value of 10. This does include avobenzone for UVA protection, but SPF 15 is the minimum number you should be looking for. This is otherwise a basic, soft-textured lip balm that works to keep lips smooth. It has a subtle red tint, sort of like the color you get from cherry Chapstick, yet ultimately we cannot recommend this because it contains lime juice, which is a potent skin irritant, not to mention applying lime juice to skin can result in a phototoxic reaction when skin is exposed to sunlight (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
Claims: Fruity Lip Care with SPF10 and a subtle Red Tint.
Active Ingredients: Avobenzone, Octinoxate. Inactive Ingredients: Polyisobutene, Octyldodecanol, Ricinus Communis (Castor Seed) Oil, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Myristyl Myristate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Microcrystalline Wax, Isopropyl Palmitate, Synthetic Wax, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Juice, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Juice, Glycerin, Bisabolol, Propylene Glycol, Water, Citric Acid, Trideceth-9, Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone, BHT, Fragrance, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Red 21 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Red 7 Lake.
Nivea At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-friendly; good makeup removers; a gentle scrub; some worthwhile lip balms.
Weaknesses: Several boring formulas; no products to treat breakouts or lighten skin discolorations; problematic toners; disappointing self-tanners; the anti-cellulite products are a joke.
Nivea is a globally known brand owned by Beiersdorf, the same company behind department-store brand La Prairie and drugstore mainstay Eucerin. Among those three brands, Nivea's product selection is the weakest (which isn't saying much, because none of these lines have much of anything to offer skin). For Nivea, uninspired formulas abound, presenting limited options unless you have normal to dry skin, and even those have exceptionally inelegant formulas. The enduring popularity of this line has more to do with advertising and perhaps tradition (it has been around a long time) than with what any researcher would consider state-of-the-art.
In mid-2010 Nivea re-launched most of their Visage (facial care) products on the web site drugstore.com. These products present a few well formulated, inexpensive options that are worth your attention.For more information about Nivea, owned by Beiersdorf, call (800) 227-4703 or visit www.nivea.com.

Improving Food and Nutrition Security with Business Solutions
October 17, 2013
Identifying and addressing challenges from the farm to the market can create benefits for smallholder farmers, writes TechnoServe's Simon Winter.
How can market forces help improve food and nutrition security? In an article posted on the World Economic Forum's blog, Simon Winter, TechnoServe's Senior Vice President for Development, shares his perspective:
I have long believed that a business-focused approach to agricultural development can address the related challenges of poverty, food and nutrition security – at scale, in an enduring way, and with subsidies and development assistance falling away over time.
There is a myth that poor farmers do not interact with markets. Subsistence farmers do not have the credit and storage to survive an entire year without selling their produce at harvest, and their labour later. They need money to pay for food, school fees and medical emergencies. Farmers who grow surpluses want to sell their produce to get money for these needs.

With Duquesne's win over Richmond on Friday, the No. 11 UMass women's lacrosse team will head to Pittsburgh on Sunday (Noon) for what will be a battle for the Atlantic 10 regular-season title and, more importantly, the No. 1 seed in next weekend's Atlantic 10 Championship tournament.
UMass is currently No. 1 in the league standings at 6-0 (15-1 overall), while Duquesne is 5-1 (14-2 overall). Currently, La Salle and Richmond sit in third and fourth in the standings with 4-2 league records which would place both in the A-10 Tournament. With just Sunday's action left, all that seems to be left is to determine which of these four teams get what seeds for next weekend.
|No. 11/14 Massachusetts (15-1, 6-0) at Duquesne (14-2, 5-1 A-10)

Things to see and do - Youghal
Leaving for Ireland
Where to sleep?
Youghal Travel guide
Youghal : Michelin's recommendations
Youghal (pronounced yawl) occupies a pleasant site on the west bank of the Blackwater Estuary. The town takes its name from the Gaelic for yew wood, a reference to the great forests that surrounded it in medieval times. Because it was strategically placed for the landing of English troops and equally, vulnerable to attack from France or Spain, Youghal became one of the Irish ports the English defended most hardily, hence its impressive town walls.

I'm wondering if it makes sense for me to spend the money on a Crossbreed Super Tuck or Kholster if I'm not worried about tucking my M&P9c.
I work at a laid back place (jeans/t-shirt) so I'm not tucking. On the few occasions I'd have to tuck, I'm a bit too skinny and would probably print even with a nice tuckable holster, so I'd probably have to go the Thunderwear route anyway.
Do I need to spend the money on a Crossbreed or Kholster or is there something out there a little cheaper, but still comfortable that I can get that doesn't offer tuck?
Looking for something good in warm weather as I spend a great deal of time outside in the summer.

We certainly got a wide variety of entries for the King II contest and we'd like to share some of the best ones.
In our opinion the funniest entry was by Tyler Cote, loungin with his lax twig.
Some serious celebrations
This goalie's vertical/athleticism leads us to believe he scored multiple goals this year.
The classic back bump.
Celebrating The Life of A Friend
This entry was sent to us by fellow Northbrook, IL native and personal friend of mine, Mike Synek. Mike played at Illinois State last year and went on a Spring Break trip with 4 of his lax bros. A year later, one of his teammates that went on that trip passed away. This picture is in rememberance of him.
Lots Of Beat Up Gloves
People tend to grow out of things
Connor Wilson would give his left arm to try on this right glove.
Scoring G's
Krieg Shaw claims to have scored this goal. He is a lefty, ladies and gentlemen. Our compliments on his form.
Nick Weinberg about to torch the goalie with a fake low, shoot high.
David Sheldon burying one on the crease (pipe maybe?)
Lil' Laxer
Reg Hartner has got his 17 month old daughter, Harper, working on her wall ball early!
Lax Pride
Pitt laxer Christian Roy doesn't forget about lacrosse even before surgery after his encounter with a hunting knife. We saw the picture, it wasn't pretty. He remembered his teddy bear too.
Marquette player, Ian Chadwick, does some pretty interesting things on the field. The old flying ice pick.
Andy Aumiller strung up a sick traditional Cobra which happens to be close to IU colors. Thoughts Connor Wilson?
Finally, our dude Connor Patron is Hoosier'd out. Hopefully we will see him at practice in the next few years.
Thanks again to everyone who participated! Keep checking in with us throughout the summer as we have a bunch of great new blog series coming up.
And this was awesome:

Paddle boarding is officially taking over the island of Nantucket. It's impossible to escape the trend on any beach at any given moment. So just what exactly is this trend and can anyone do it?
It requires a strong core and balance. You can rent them on beaches, so there is not need to buy it to try it. Spending time at the beach and finding ways to be active while having fun are important.
Paddle boarding promises to burn between 500-700 calories per hour* (similar to a brisk walk or slow jog). Other celebrity fans include Jennifer Aniston, Rihanna and Kate Hudson. It provides a total body workout, using your upper body strength to propel the board forward against currents and wind, challenges the lower body to maintain balance while slightly bending the knees, and engages the core switching the paddle from side to side to go straight forward.
Paddle boarding has gone so mainstream that even celebrities are now edorsing their own branded boards. Shape magazine reported that Marissa Miller enjoyed paddle boarding and now she has come out with her own line! She was discovered after all by a famed photographer in California one day as a teenager while surfing. For $1715, you can buy her paddle board!
Do you like this idea about celebrities promoting healthy living products? Have you tried paddle boarding here on the east coast yet?

I am trying to understand when do to line integral and when to do arc length. So I know the formula for arc length varies based on $dx$ or $dy$ like so:
$s=\int_a^b \sqrt{1+[f'(x)]^2} \, \mathrm{d} x$ for the arc length
and here's a line integral equation:
$\int_c fds=\int_a^b f(r(t))\cdot r'(t)dt$
I just don't understand how the two are different/similar. Don't they both compute the same thing?

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 18 December 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18221218-TC-AC-01; CL 2:232-234.
Edinr, 18th December 1822—
My dear Alick.
We got your parcel a few hours ago; and all within it was safe—money and all: I am obliged by your punctuality in that matter. Your letter also, tho' it was brief, conveyed to us the most important intelligence, in assuring us that you were all in the "usual way" of health and spirits. I am now to scribble you a few hurried lines by way of reply.
And first I am happy to communicate the information that both Jack and I are likewise in the "usual way"—Jack quite sound in health, I gradually improving in that particular, and both busied about our usual avocations. Jack should have written to you to-night, but he grumbles out some excuse about "Natural-philosophy" and "business," and seems disinclined to take up the pen on this occasion. Nay not only is he idle himself in epistolary duties, but the cause of idleness in others: I had written you a small note on the beginning of a sheet this forenoon, and left it in such a hurry, being called away to the Bullers, that I had not time to fold it, and left the care of doing this to Jack, who at that time had not returned from his class. Now mark the issue! Jack takes your note, and writes some thoughts of his own upon the end of it; then, little satisfied with his performance—chucks the whole into the fire! This was very ill-managed; but Jack deserves pardon, seeing he meant well. Nay I observe at this instant he has taken up the pen, in the view, as I conceive of writing to our Father; so that we must absolve him of all malice prepense, and reckon his silence a misfortune not a crime. He is a good honest diligent creature. He rises every morning, short while after the lark, and awakens me duly, tho' sometimes not without difficulty, before he goes out. The other morning I was aroused rather strangely by him: I had been dreaming about many confused-things, as my wont is, when suddenly there was interwoven with my vision a sound as of some noisy cascade, which in my slumbering wisdom I converted into the rushing of a miln [mill] race-trough. It went on irregularly, but louder and louder, till it awoke me—when the race-trough proved to be Jack's throat set in motion by a cog1 of porridge and milk he was eating in the other room! I burst into laughing, and laughed all day at it whenever it came into my head. Frequently since, I ask Jack when the time for tea draws nigh, if he means to open his race-trough aye or no?—all which he bears with exemplary good humour. In fact he is a very placid welltempered character: I like him well, and have no doubt he will prove an eminent Doctor yet.
We live in a very retired manner here, and so very little of what is called news reaches us at any time. Perhaps about once in the fortnight some student or preacher strays down to see us—and then goes his way after chatting an hour: but we seldom repay such visits, privacy being the arrangement we prefer on all accounts. They lead a very melancholy life, these poor preachers and teachers; waiting for a quarter of a century in the city before any provision is made for them, struggling all the while to keep soul and body together, and perhaps destined in the long run to see all their expectations of preferment dashed away. There was one Craig, a little withered man, whom I saw once or twice, a teacher of Greek here, that waited long for some Kirk or other establishment, was frequently disappointed, and lately having been more greivously disappointed than ever—took it to heart, and grew low-spirited about it, and is now gone home in a state little if at all short of derangement! I pity the poor body sincerely. Few conditions of life are more oppressive than such a one as this.
Now, my dear Alick, the new-year is coming on, and the "storms of winter";2 can you or Father or Mother, or any or all of you say any thing definite about the visit you half-promised us? We can get you accommodations here such as they are without inconvenience in any shape, the warmest welcome you count upon at all times, and we will not let you want a hurl [ride] up and down in the coach, whenever you like to fix upon a time. I really think you should take the good-wife and the good-man to task on this matter, and try to persuade them. They must see Edinr some time; that is flat: why not now as well as afterwards? Write us about this.
Also you must send me word about your readings and studies and all your news and undertakings. Poor Gullen! to be so nearly eaten up of the Foul Thief, in so ugly a shape!3 Have they found none of the sacrilegious Kirk-robbers? Write me about all and sundry.
I am ever, / My dear Alick / Your affe Brother /
Th. Carlyle—
Will you send this note to Shaw. The unfortunate creature has a third time made the shoes too little! I have sold them to Jack, having got two corns by wearing them half a day. Unluckiest of Sutors!—
