Tennessee Shakespeare Company
"Ascends the highest heaven of invention"
with its action-packed
Henry V
in partnership with the University of Memphis'
School of Theatre and Dance on the U of M Mainstage
June 9-19
Sponsored by FedEx; Ann and Wellford Tabor;
Pat, Ernest, Marian and Martha Kelly
Henry V Trailer
Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, calls to action-packed theatrical life the battlefields and courts of an ambitious young king in William Shakespeare's masterwork on the chaos of war and the romance of peace: Henry V.
The rousing play famous for its many powerful speeches and orations, including "O for a muse of fire," and "Once more unto the breach," and "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" plays in a fun, new "wooden o" on the University's mainstage from June 9-19.
Featuring a new, Elizabethan seating configuration that places patrons just off the raised stage (for only $10), a moving set, and slides of original wood-cuts from the early 15th century, TSC's production of Henry V employs ten professional actors, including AEA performers from around the country. They will play over 30 roles in what is perhaps Shakespeare's most theatrically self-aware play: "And let us, ciphers to this great account,/On your imaginary forces work."

Though costumed for 15th century battle and adorned for the period's courts of England and France, the company of actors constantly address their audience, changing costumes and characters in plan view, inviting the audience to become the eleventh actor.
The production's title sponsors are FedEx; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and Pat, Ernest, Marian, and Martha Kelly. Together, they make possible Free Will Kids' Night each Thursday night (up to four children 17 years and younger admitted free when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian). Additional funding is generously provided by the University of Memphis and First Tennessee Foundation.
Henry V is produced in memory of TSC friend, Dan Copp, who died in 2015. From 1943 to 1945, Lieutenant Copp served in the U.S. Navy on the battleship Tennessee. He saw action in the Pacific theater from the Aleutians to the South Sea Islands. With this production, TSC honors Dan's courage, service, and friendship.
Directed by TSC's Stephanie Shine (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet), Henry V features a professional ensemble from around the country: Montana native Colton Swibold in the title role, Paul Kiernan (recently in TSC's Twelfth Night) as Fluellen/Canterbury/Cambridge/Burgundy, Gabriel Vaughan (recently in TSC's Twelfth Night) as Dauphin/Westmerland/Jamy/Williams, Phil Darius Wallace (recently in TSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Exeter/Nym/Orleance, Michael Khanlarian (recently in TSC's All's Well That Ends Well) as Pistol/Constable, Heather Roberts (TSC's All's Well That Ends Well) as Montjoy/Quickly/Alice/MacMorris, and Kaitlyn Maurer (TSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Katherine/Grey/French prisoner.
New to the acting company are Jeffrey David Kent as Gower/French King/Ely/Erpingham, Blake Currie as Gloucester/boy, and Nic Picou as Scroop/Borbon/Bates/Bardolph.

What if your entire life were a Broadway musical…and you had no clue?
Featuring Broadway's Brightest Stars
Memphis, TN (July 27, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its third and final developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with The Oliver Experiment by Jeremy Desmon and Jeff Thomson on August 15 at 7:00 pm.Read More
Midsummer Night
Live music, glow sticks, and power chords!
Featuring Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Memphis, TN (June 15, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its second developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with Midsummer Night by Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn on June 27 at 7:00 pm.
Tickets for the reading are just $15, or $10 for Students and Seniors.
Midsummer Night, directed by Janet Roston, is the second of three developing musicals in TSC's inaugural Showplace Memphis: Musical Works in Progress.
Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Sponsored by one of Broadway's elite musical licensing companies, Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) and President/CEO Steve Spiegel, based in New York City, Showplace Memphis has been devised as the next creative stage for three musicals en route to full productions in New York and on the regional theatre circuit across the U.S. The first musical in Showplace Memphis last month was a very successful reading of Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical. The final musical will be a charming and surprising new piece, The Oliver Experiment (August 15).
TRW has selected the musicals, and the Actors' Equity casts and directors are coming from all around the country and Memphis.
The cast includes Broadway's Katrina Lenk (Once; Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark; The Miracle Worker) as Titania and Eric B. Anthony (The Lion King; Hairspray; Mary Poppins) as Puck.
Songwriters Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda join with co-creator/director Janet Roston (Artistic Director of The Los Angeles Rock Opera Company) for this new take on William Shakespeare's beloved comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The musical is set within a modern-day rock festival. It's a rollicking collision of rock music, iambic pentameter, and hipsters – where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel, festival assistant Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom gets a chance to shine.
Keyboardist Milburn and electric violinist Vigoda have been singing and writing songs together for over 20 years, first for their band GrooveLily, and more recently for musical theatre and film. Theatre: Striking Twelve, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, Beautiful Poison, Wheelhouse, Toy Story: The Musical, Long Short Story, A Midsummer Night's Dream, its complete reworking as the rock musical Midsummer Night, and Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. Film: many songs for Tinker Bell for Disney animated movies. Additional music is provided by Gene Lewin.
The Midsummer Night creators and cast will collaborate and rehearse at the U of M for ten days leading up to its reading. Though it will be going through both script and music changes, Midsummer Night will be played and sung in its entirety and with musical accompaniment on the U of M's mainstage. No other design elements (scenic/costumes/lights) will be integrated.
Audiences will have an opportunity to speak with the actors and creators of Midsummer Night immediately following its reading. Audiences also will inform the production by completing an audience survey that will help the creative team in future development phases.Read More

Worried About QE? Join the Queue
The Trojans famously feared the Greeks, even when they came with gifts.
Similarly, perhaps, we should get a little skittish when long-standing bears come with what look like quite bullish forecasts.
And here's one now, big wooden horse and all. Strategist Bob Janjuah, now at Nomura in London, but previously a renowned gloomster at the Royal Bank of Scotland, says he wouldn't be surprised to see U.S. equity make new 2010 highs in the year's closing three months.
That's quite a jolly take from a man described variously as a 'noted bear,' 'the last of the permaskeptics' and so on. Has the move to a Japanese outfit somehow turned Jeremiah into Candide?
Well, no. And, of course, there's a sting in the tail.
Janjuah, and Kevin Gaynor, who made the move with him, just think the consensus in place since September, which they describe as pro-risk, pro-policy and pro-policy maker, will endure for a while longer.
Investors will stick with their current conviction that the Federal Reserve can and will create broad-based inflation and also, perhaps, some economic growth. So, more quantitative easing, more stock gains.
However, that sting will come six months or so down the track. By then, Janjuah thinks, it should become clear that the policy settings are not working, not driving sustainable growth in the real economy. 'More of the same' won't be credible and the Fed will be seen as out of options. As he puts it, "on a six-month basis our major concern is that market sentiment will abruptly and completely flip."
Ah, now this is more like it.
Janjuah's point, which is in essence that the markets might be too dazzled by QE to notice its limitations, was implicitly echoed just yesterday by Federal Reserve voting members.
William Dudley, president of the New York Fed and a permanent voting member on the Open Market Committee said at Cornell University that the central bank can provide essential support for the economy in its care, but not a magic wand. Meanwhile Thomas Hoenig, the Kansas City Fed Chief said in Lawrence, Kansas that there are 'real risks' to quantitative easing.
Now Hoenig's not a believer anyway, having often used his vote to dissent from the view that more stimulus is needed. But Dudley is on board. He has made the case for monetary easing in the past.
Equity markets want more QE. They're pretty sure they're going to get it and will probably applaud when they do. But after that, well, it's uncharted territory. And plenty of smart people are making that point, very publicly, very obviously.
Is anyone listening?

Days after the Islmasit deadly shooting on Mount Harif, which used a group of African infiltrators as a decoy and which claimed the life of an IDF Corporal , the border section remains open.
The intensive work to complete the 17-kilometer fence in the topographically challanging area was renewed Sunday morning, while at the same time, the IDF is conducting an inquest into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
It is becoming apparent that the military acquittal protocol – which regulates the absorption of groups of infiltrators that reach the border – will remain in place.
According to directives, the soldiers go up to the infiltrators, leaving backup in the area. They then ensure that the infiltrators are unarmed and only after that are they transferred to a temporary holding facility in one of the sector's posts. Following medical examinations, the infiltrators are moved to permanent Interior Ministry holding facilities.
IDF data disclosed that there has been a significant drop in the number of infiltrators coming through the southern border – just 200 last month when compared with 2,000 last year.
A senior IDF source told Ynet last week that the medical teams which have been reinforced over the past two years will remain in place in spite of the drop for fear of additional security incidents.
Moreover, the IDF forces will continue to offer aid to the infiltrators in the shape of food and water.
According to an IDF investigation, the Islamists who attacked the soldiers on Friday had no connection to the infiltrators but it is believed that they took advantage of the fact that the force was stretched thin after soldiers went to a nearby Wadi to offer aissitance to infiltrators.
Earlier Sunday IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantzvisited the site of Friday's terror attack on the Israel-Egypt border and met with soldiers from the Artillery Corps and the Caracal infantry battalion and lauded their swift response to the attack. Three Islamists were killed in the incident.

When Will We Get To Know The 'Real' Mitt Romney?
Despite Mitt Romney's time as governor, his previous presidential run and quite a few years in the spotlight, many people still feel they don't know much about him. The clean-cut, buttoned-up candidate is notoriously quiet about his private life, and his former colleagues and friends haven't revealed much, either.

Taceorp announces breackrough in removing deadly la ndmines.
Mill Valley, California August 25, 2006 - The Allaince Entreprise Corpoartion announced today a breakthrough in developing an Aeiral Landimne Sysetm aimed at locating, detecting and mapping deadly lan dmines.
TaeCrop's mission is to reclaim lands around the globe embedded with land mines that victimize countries and their stakeholders.
More than 100 m i l l i o n landmi nes in 83 countries are holding international communities and industries hostage, preventing the investm ent in and development of pr oductive lands and the re-building of infrastructure. A broad variety of landmin es have been scattered over produc tive areas effectively crippling the ec onomy and disabling thousands of children and adults. There are no reliable records that accurately show where these d e v a s t a t i n g landmine s lie in wait for their victim s.
With the present day cost s to clear a single land mine ranging between $1,000 to $1,500, solving the problem of de-mining lands will reach billions of do llars. TaeCorp has developed a technology based, co st effective solution to this problem using its three tiered approach to scanning, mapping and removing landmi nes. TaeCorp's System will provide many social and ec onomic benef its to countries and their industries including oil and gas, mining, agriculture, roads and infrastructure development.
About TaeCorp.
TaeCorp's vision is to be the recognized leader in providing Aerail Detcetion Sytsems including global de-mining, clearing a path to a safer planet for all humankind.
Here comes the big one!
All signs show that A ETR is going to Explode!
Con clusion:
The examples above show the awesome, earning potential of little known companies that explode onto inevstor's radar screens; Many of you are already familiar with this. Is AE TR poised and positioned to do that for you? Then you may feel the time has come to act... And please watch this one tarde tomorrow! Go A ETR.

Cartoon controversy – In conversation with Satyanarayana: Sharmila Rege
Guest post by SHARMILA REGE
Satyanarayana's interview addresses the crucial issue of a sharp division between the dalit and the left/liberal viewpoint on the NCERT textbook cartoon controversy. Clearly, Satyanarayana's foregrounding of this difference is not a denial of the differences between the positions taken by dalit intellectuals in this debate. Further, Satyanarayana is referring not just to responses by dalit academicians but to the presence of critical viewpoints in the larger dalit public sphere – the very perspective/viewpoints that Liberal/Left/feminists have in a sense not seriously engaged with, equating them to 'manipulations by opportunistic dalit leadership' or /and 'always and already emotional iconisation of Ambedkar'. In fact, despite important differences between the arguments put forth by Satyanarayana, Gopal Guru, Anoop Kumar, Harish Wankhede, Raj Kumar and other dalit intellectuals; all of them interrogate these hasty conclusions about irrational or manoeuvred dalit publics. Gopal Guru contends that the controversy has created a field of power in which even the supporters of Ambedkar and Dalits have ended up reproducing the compounded insult through two assumptions –that Ambedkar belongs to the dalits and that dalits are pathologically emotional and thus not capable of rational independent views.
Guru and Satyanaryana's arguments raise uncomfortable questions for feminists – at least for some of us who have since the 1990s sought to revise our understanding of histories of feminism and sought to rethink its futures in dialogue with dalit-bahujan feminists. Do we as feminists think that Ambedkar just as much belongs to us? Further, why does our patently feminist engagement with the power of emotions – individual and collective – fail us when it comes to listening to dalit publics? Feminists by and large have gone along with the thesis of emotional dalit iconisation of Ambedkar that renders dalits as incapable of going beyond symbolic identities. Some even go on to contrast the rationality of Ambedkar's thought and practice with the 'irrationality' of dalit public'. The rationality with which dalit public on the Pune University campus responded to vandalism of Suhas Palshikar's office – their divergent views on the cartoon apart – is good enough to put at rest all those who are worried about dalits becoming deserving claimants of Ambedkar's legacy.
Satyanarayana's interview makes a strong argument for the existence of dalit publics, manipulation by leadership and iconisation notwithstanding, and calls for more reflexive listening by liberal-left scholars to the many voices that constitute the dalit publics. Significantly he locates the process of iconisation historically; thus revealing the thin theoretical and empirical basis of the several arguments on iconisation .He draws out the politically charged and highly loaded contexts within which the representations of Ambedkar come to assume different meanings in different social locations.
I am reminded of Baburao Bagul, the well known dalit writer and intellectual's analysis of the academic neglect of Ambedkar's writings. Bagul draws attention to the two or more decades after independence in which the tendency to turn the national movement into a form of historical, mythological movement of ancestor worship led not only to academic neglect of Ambedkar but labelling of the Phule-Ambedkar discourse as ideologically particularistic. Further, in the 1970s, the challenges posed to the academia by Dalit Panther ideology and activities and dalit literature—at least in Maharashtra— came to be co-opted through frames that evaded the epistemological challenge posed by Dalit Panthers. As Satyanarayana mentions in the interview, Mandal opened up a new dialogue between dalit and liberal/left/feminist academics. Many of us left-liberal- feminists came to recognise the manufacture of ignorance in our institutions of higher education and ways in which one is complicit through the privileges of caste and education. The greater representation of Ambedkar and dalit writings in textbooks that Aditya Nigam mentions in his response to Satyanarayana's interviews, were no doubt enabled by the impact of the dalit movement on the mainstream.
If the engaged debates on Mandal brought forth greater sensitivity to the changing social composition of classrooms; dialogues with dalit intellectuals and activists for many of us initiated a process of learning to read Ambedkar and also think through perspectives strategies that throw the gaze of the dalit bahujan students back on to curricular and pedagogical practices. This promoted several experiments in curriculum transformation and design of innovative learning teaching materials – the NCERT text books being an important case in point. Following the cartoon controversy, Anoop Kumar's nuanced articulation of his experiences of the classroom and Satyanarayana's foregrounding of the right of dalits to 'different' interpretations really push us further to fathom the multiple complexities involved in such projects. How do we as teachers, move beyond merely including the excluded contributions of Ambedkar to address the right of the dalit to divergent interpretations of representations of Ambedkar?
Critical questioning of the cartoon by dalit publics is as Satyanarayana reminds us, neither an opposition to the textbook nor denial of its immense contribution to pedagogic innovations. In fact, I would agree with Satyanarayana that a dialogue with dalit publics, which would very much in keeping with the dialogical spirit of the textbooks would deter state intervention. This I recall was a position that was hinted at by Prakash Ambedkar in his statement to the Marathi electronic media immediately after the controversy broke out .
In response to Satyanarayana's interview, Aditya Nigam raises questions about non-dalit academics and activists working in close interaction and conversation with dalit intellectuals, being reduced in the last analysis to 'upper caste' agents. As a non- dalit Phule-Ambedkarite feminist, I do admit to sometimes feeling pained /hurt at such 'last-analysis' – but recognize that such reminders from dalit feminist comrades and critics has always been an opportunity to unlearn and relearn. I have found very useful sharp criticism of my work by dalit feminist scholar and activist Abhinaya Ramesh who details the complex structures and processes of brahmanical surveillance as they operate in our academia and points to the limits of border-crossing. In the same vein, I see Satya's intervention as underscoring the vital significance of deliberations on discord and divides in the process of building sustained dialogues . It is not as if we liberals- left- feminists simply cannot, despite ourselves, transcend our caste selves but yes the journey can be long – requiring us to go back and forth – never giving up listening and dialogue.
Lastly, processes of representing Ambedkar in textbooks and other learning-teaching materials, would definitely be enriched if we were to look at what SAVARI has rightly referred to as the amazing rich collection of visual material on Ambedkar. We may add to this also musical compositions and booklets that circulate within the spaces constituted by the Ambedkarite calendar events in Maharashtra. The rational critical dimension of the booklets and the rich social imagination of the music do not only question the caricatured and distorted conceptions of dalit publics but reveal that multilayered representations of Ambedkar have a much longer and richer history outside the formal print media- in the dalit counterpublics. Ambedkar as the maker of the Indian Constitution continues to occupy the imaginary of composers and singers of the Ambedkarite gayan parties. I will end with one such composition performed by a Buddhist Mahila Mandal, documented at Mahad in 2004
One who says Jai Bhim,
Knows the Value of Jai Bhim
He knows that Baba's Constitution,
is the real pride of India,
Why sing the false praise of the Yogi?
India is a great nation,
Because it is here that Phule and Ambedkar were born…
They went away just the way they had come,
all shattered to pieces,
Who says our nation stands on the Rupee note,
You must say only that what is true,
My Bhima lifted the nation,
just on the nib of a pen
It would serve us well to remember the words of Zhingubai, a dalit woman composer/singer from Murtijapur, a gentle reminder that understanding the relation of dalit publics to Ambedkar is no simple task ..
My father called him father,
my mother calls him father,
I call him father,
my son too calls him father,
Try searching in the world
one such relation,
Does anyone share this kind of relation,
like the one we share with my Bhima?
Sadhus and saints have come and gone,
my vows and prayers too,
none bore fruit.
Where were you yesterday,
today you have come so far,
in your hands smeared with cow dung,
he placed a pen!

Really insightful text. This indicates that, as Gopal Guru already suggests, sometimes there are oversimplifications in debates to show that dalit public is full of emotion and iconoclastic. This article leads us to realize the importance of dalit as a dialogic subject. The importance of symbolic should not be reduced to iconoclasm or unreasoned but there is always a creativity in these symbolic gestures which through imaginary of 'caste free society' want to put an argument of accessing 'real'. Here, is the subject who is in dialogue through these gestures. For more detailed look of these examples we can see Gopal Guru's essay 'understanding multiple images of Ambedkar'. Where a image of Ambedkar on one rupee coin symbolizes the dalit imaginations to criticize Dalit politicians who are involved with 'petty politics'.

"Where were you yesterday,

That is the best, the pithiest iconic statement about Ambedkar.

While following the whole discussion on Dr. Ambedkar's cartoon 'controversy' i just remember his quote: "Turn in any direction you like, caste is the monster that crosses your path. You cannot have political reform; you cannot have economic reform, unless you kill this monster:-Dr. Ambedkar (1936)"

@ Aditya Nigam, "upper caste leftists" getting a dose of their own medicine from the Dalits?
June 6, 2012 5:59 PM
I have the feeling that from the many posts here and elsewhere that between the equally homogenized 'dalit view' and the so-called 'left-liberal' view, no one is really against the NCERT text-books, no one is clinging too hard to the cartoon, and no one is against regular review processes, no one is against making sure that dalit scholars have greater participation in the process of text-book writing, and no one is against dalit public having a voice in this issue or any other. So what is the lingering unease? The issue now, I think, is surely about how dalit and non-dalit intellectuals can come together in anti-caste struggles. Can they come together at all?
Reading some of the outpourings against putative 'left-liberals', I can't help thinking that this has more to do with pent-up anger; and reading some of the bewildered responses from the latter, it also appears to me that finally, long-standing misgivings and unease have been aired. At least for me, as an upper-caste born woman intellectual, this is a chance to think through precisely that unease. These, therefore, are tentative thoughts, a certain thinking aloud.
And I must say this isn't new to me at all. Long ago, when I aspired to be in the SFI in the 80s, I was plagued with the same, the very same, unease — the fear that one would be always interpreted as an enemy no matter how one tried to change, in the final analysis. Only that the criterion for belonging was class — so one could always be faulted for not having the right class perspective if one differed from the view that was presented predominantly as that of the working class. If one did not confirm, then one would simply have to leave the circle. Sure, by exposing oneself to other views, one did learn, change, and that has been truly valuable. But if such learning should necessarily extract such a price each time — of the constant threat of being identified as an enemy — then there is something wrong, I'd think. So my objections to the egregious patriarchy in the SFI could only be a product of me being 'rich little miss'! I have no illusions whatsoever that the SFI and dalit intellectual circles are one and the same; I am only noting how similar the fears they evoke in the self-critical elite person are.
I do think that guilt-production is anti-political. It locks the dalit and anti-caste elite caste intellectual in a relation of sympathy, by the latter, of the former. I see this playing out in some of the writings of upper-caste intellectuals who have participated in the homogenizing of 'left-liberals' and aim at producing guilt in them. I am not referring to Sharmila's post as part of this writing — it is not belong there, since it seeks to reflect on the upper caste intellectual's guilt rather than produce it. These authors who claim to be unambiguously 'pro-dalit' state and re-state in different ways that all we need to do is say yes to the particular viewpoint they identify as truly 'dalit'. (If by this is meant the demand the cartoon be removed and the interpretation that it may be insulting to the Dalits in ways unseen by others, then my impression is that this has been conceded quite some time back, and by most of us lumped together as 'left-liberals'). This absolves the upper-caste intellectual of taking serious responsibility for her/his positions — she/he merely endorses, never undertakes the difficult task of thinking of anti-caste strategies of critical savarna-born people as separate, if related, to those of the Dalit peoples. A broader anti-caste struggle can only be one that accommodates a variety of strategies, and I find it difficult to think that the latter's struggle would be the same as the former's.
The relation of sympathy bestows on the dalit intellectual a sense of victory, which is however quite an ambiguous one. That it is ambiguous is evident from some sympathetic elite writing which waves with gusto the flag of the currently-most-popular view accepted as truly 'Dalit' but still sounds utterly condescending towards Dalits. Such sympathy might help to solidify the boundaries of dalit identity politics, but will work against broadening anti-caste politics in the long run.
If I have learned anything for my own struggle against caste from this debate, it is from paying attention to the differences between the views aired by the dalit intellectuals and those who speak on their behalf. For example, while many of the readings of the whip and Ambedkar's form seemed completely contrived and simplistic applications of ready-made interpretations, the questions raised by Rajkumar gave me a completely new way of looking at it. The reason is because unlike the ready-made interpretations pressed into service hurriedly and awkwardly, it is clear that Rajkumar's insight comes from the experience of the dalit child in the classroom — his question whether everything slow needs to be whipped into moving faster made me rethink the symbolism of the whip. I did not agree with many other views he put forth, but found many other points illuminating, especially about the need to make the NCERT truly inclusive. I realized that without actively resisting guilt-production, one can hardly learn anything self-transformative.
But outside this debate, the sad truth that I have observed in occasions that called for an anti-caste alliance between dalits and savarna-born people critical of caste is that instead of enabling a mutual shaping of selves that would help both to break down ubiquitous brahmanical values, what plays out is a game of strategic agents, each side trying to blackmail the other, and each trying to remain as discreet as possible to retain dialogue, and sometimes also trying to return the blackmail!
I see this often even in personal friendships where a Damocles' sword of accusation always hangs above expressions of love. I would want to be part of only a wider anti-caste movement where all of us can practice self-critique without fear and work to shape each other lovingly. I see that possibility in Sharmila's experience and strive to remain hopeful.

Why the "savarna-born people critical of caste" did not allow K.R.Gowri to become the CM of Kerala? The syndicate media would have projected the differences of opinion between V.S.Achuthanandan and Pinarayi Vijayan as a fight between "savarna-bron" and an OBC if they were not from the same caste!!

There's a new petition that perhaps should make people introspect. It shows how the larger dalit opinion on this issue is not about what people in Delhi think. It's not just about what Guru or Teltumbde or Anoop Kumar said. From Bama to OP Balmiki, Dhasal to Gogu Shyamala, Gail Omvedt to Uma Chakravarti, Ajay Skaria to Ajay Navaria, Sivagami, Meena Kandasamy, V Geetha, Ravikumar… a range of names have signed… See http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/article3501903.ece.
They say the struggle against the cartoon is democratic.
shipra permalinkJune 8, 2012 7:48 PM
Since we've been asked to introspect on this petition ( though I wasn't aware that the issue was now about a north south divide) , here are ome reflections : While it is welcome in terms of its attempt to bridge the gap between the apparently polarized positions (the so called 'left liberal' as opposed to the 'dalit voice'), it leaves me with a deep sense of disquiet on several grounds. In the spirit of democratic dialogue and debate then :
1. To the statement: "At this stage, we petition the Thorat Committee set up to examine the textbooks to reconsider the Ambedkar cartoon (and possibly other such insensitive material). While we demand that the NCERT take into account the wide range of criticisms and feedback the textbooks have elicited, we also urge Kapil Sibal, the Union HRD Minister, to desist from seeking any major overhaul of the basic National Curriculum Framework on which the textbooks are based."
I wish the rationale behind this was clearly worked out – on what grounds are we asking for the reconsideration of an objectionable cartoon in this manner while not critiquing the process and the manner of the intervention? Thorat committee is already there to reconsider the cartoon in any case. The review is happening. But what is the point in urging Kapil Sibal to desist from seeking any major overhaul – because he will have to react in a similar fashion whenever a demand for review and change in the textbooks is raised, as long as the people involved have enough 'muscle power' and 'voice' in the parliament – and here I am thinking of right wing idealogues, not of marginalized voices. Unless you come up with a strong critique of the process, while demanding that dalit concerns be taken on board – this exercise makes the entire process deeply vulnerable. The modalities and frame of reviews has to be discussed, debated, institutionalized in an effective and inclusive manner. How will it be possible to argue against the many competing claims and alternative demands, and say that only this demand is legitimate since it expresses a dalit voice? To counterpose an alternative to Satyanarayan's comment, I wish the voice that had emerged stated that though there were clear objections to the cartoon, we realize that this view might not be shared by other dalit and non dalit voices, so we ask for a review through a due process and through a proper dialogue and debate.
2. To the statement in the new petition submitted to Professor Thorat: "We find it insulting that some intellectuals suggest that people protesting the cartoon fail to understand the "productive power of laughter" or that there's a "fear of cartoons"."
This overlooks the fact that the statements being critiqued were made against the politicians and parliamentarians who had come together to protest against all the cartoons in the textbooks that appeared to be subversive, that seemed to incite questions in children's minds.
3. To the statement (again in the new petition to Professor Thorat): "We wish to express dismay over the adamantine attitude of some of our academic friends who seem to treat the cartoon as sacrosanct."
People have just held on to a different interpretation of the cartoon, while nobody has denied the need for a review keeping in mind the sensitivities of a marginalized community. In a democracy and a democratic struggle, differences of opinion have to be allowed, not ridiculed.
4. To the statement (once again in the new petition to Professor Thorat): 'However, the textbook writers must realize that they have not done a favour to Dalits by such inclusion which was long overdue.'
Nobody claimed any credit for any inclusion, merely stressed, over and over again, how the texts were produced through a collective process and shaped by insights that came from social and political movements. And I also wish the very Hari Vasudevan, Suhas Palsikhar and Yogendra Yadav accused for resisting the removal of that 'insensitive cartoon' were also given some due credit in the petition for helping to produce the textbooks.
5. To the statement: "The text does not inform the students that a Drafting Committee chaired by Dr Ambedkar drafted the Constitution. In the light of absence of proper discussion of Dr Ambedkar's role in the Constituent Assembly, the violence of the cartoon is all the more palpable. We urge the Thorat Committee to make the necessary changes in the text as well."
I wish the pedagogic strategy of the textbook had been engaged with more fully before coming up with this critique. Since Nivedita Menon has responded to this on kafila, let me quote her "the passage in the text-book that states that there were 8 important committees, that were chaired by 5 persons, one of whom was Ambedkar. Is this not sufficient for a school text-book on the drafting of the constitution? All the Committees are not named, nor are the absentee (official) chairpersons of the 8 committees. The point of the book was obviously to introduce the process of constitution making to students, and I don't think that detailed description of all 8 committees and the names of the 8 chairpersons etc should have been there, for students to mug up."
6. Finally to the statement :
"It is time we realized that there is a permeable boundary between the symbolic violence of such a cartoon, and the tolerance of such cartoons by academics on the one hand, and atrocities like Bathani Tola, Melavalavu, Chunduru or Khairlanji on the other. These two sites of struggle are not non-permeable. Quite often the iconicity of Dr Ambedkar has been used by Dalits to assert their democratic rights. And the struggle against the cartoon is indeed a democratic struggle—even if the mainstream and alternative media have portrayed it as otherwise."
The point about symbolism of iconic struggles is well taken, but the point about permeable sites of struggle is open to many readings. At one level, it makes the general point that all democratic struggles of dalits are in some way related, a point no one will disagree with (but I feel that in referring to the way the politics is unfolding in two different sites, Anand Teltumbde was making a different point– as an insider, who has invested in the movement. To me it seemed that he was expressing a misgiving and unease about a trap a movement can sometimes fall into by not moving beyond symbolism.). At another level, the statement seems to say: all those who fail to see the violence signified in the cartoon will also be blind to the atrocities against dalits in Bathani Tola and other places. This, to put it mildly, is a chilling accusation!
Here it is also important to remember that many dalits and non dalits had been wary of the manner in which the intervention had come, in terms of both its source as well the eagerness with which political parties across the board were keen to demonstrate their dalit sympathies, crusading for a cause which many of them had no love for, and where for them the stakes were so little (a few textbooks and their writers). This was not necessarily a statement about the 'manoueverability of dalit publics' but a recognition of the fact that political mobilization around affect and assertion of identity is a political reality and requires some introspection.
As has been pointed out, none of us can presume to be the dalit voice. We can only engage and be sensitive to it. But does this listening involve that we give up our right to disagree? A lot of us, including myself, on hearing different voices, could see long ago that other possibilities of reading the cartoon existed which might offend or be a cause of concern. It is also entirely possible that sometimes problematic material can be overlooked even by people invested in progressive politics and well aware of the silences, erasures and violence of a liberal discourse on caste. Any worthwhile exercise of knowledge production is bound to be vulnerable to such problems. What we need to do is to differentiate legitimate claims from those which are not, and define the process through which such differentiation can be done. But this can be only through dialogue and debate, and an institutionalised process of review. And surely every claim and demand even of marginalised groups cannot be seen as legitimate, and every articulation of disagreement ought not to be seen as evidence of being insensitivite to issues of marginality.
Our understanding of the manner in which caste interrogates dominant frames in academic writing owes very little to parliamentary intervention, it is shaped by wider social and political movements which nurtured these critiques. There was much more in those textbooks to 'hurt other sentiments' which I do not care for (from upper caste to right wing to neoliberal). The parliament, though representative of dalit interests, is also representative of these other interests and can act in deeply authoritarian ways once a precedent is set to allow for this kind of an intervention to go unnoticed. So academic autonomy is important not as a preserve for upper caste elites, but to make academics both political and accountable to different marginalised constituencies. I continue to hold that democratic institutions within academia itself need to be strengthened, made more inclusive. By all means lets discuss, debate and think of ways to do so. But I wish the engagement with instititutions and structures where multiple competing claims, marginalised and non-marginalised exist, was spelt out more clearly when a demand for a structural redressal is made. Or are we to declare that this war has to be fought outside institutional structures and anything which helps promote a cause, however worthy, has to be asserted irrespective of what it implies for institutional democracies? Then we are out there beyond investment in institutional redressals, fighting other equally assertive claims – both marginalised as well as majoritarian. I believe we are being naïve if we think we can come up with a petition supporting one claim and cause, without engaging with how these claims are to be concretized, on what principles and on what grounds, in any democratic polity.

This is a badly drafted petition high on rhetoric low on substance. This controversy will backfire as the govt. will use the review process and other mechanisms to ensure that such radical texts are not found in text books in the future.
'It is time we realised that there is a permeable boundary between the symbolic violence of such a cartoon and the tolerance of such cartoons by academics on the one hand, and atrocities like Bathani Tola, Melavalavu, Chunduru or Khairlanji on the other.'
The petitioners argue that anyone who disagrees with them on this issue are supporters/perpetrators of such violence against dalits.This is plain nonsense.
'We are also deeply saddened that because of this one aberrant act, the otherwise democratic and rational engagement with this issue that Dalits and some non-Dalit intellectuals opposed to the cartoon have engaged in — through news media, blogs, Facebook, and the Internet — has been portrayed as emotional and infantile. '
This is a big lie as any reader of Kafila would know.
'Firstly, many members who were part of the textbook advisory committee for the senior secondary level, including Chairman of the committee Prof. Hari Vasudevan, and Chief Advisors Suhas Palshikar and Yogendra Yadav, have since protested against the demand for reconsidering the use of this insensitive cartoon.'
Yet another lie.They quit protesting the unilateral act by the govt. The demand was made and conceded in the floor of the parliament without any discussion with academics or review by academics. It was not students/teachers who made that demand.
'The text does not inform the students that a Drafting Committee chaired by Dr. Ambedkar drafted the Constitution. In the absence of a proper discussion of Dr. Ambedkar's role in the Constituent Assembly, the violence of the cartoon is all the more palpable. We urge the Thorat Committee to make the necessary changes in the text as well.
This point is silly because as it has been pointed out the text does justice to his role and his chairing the committee has been discussed in the text book in Xth standard itself.
Such badly drafted petitions will be used to review text books, rewrite progressive texts and the outcome might not be the one the petitioners wanted.To whom they will petition then?

Stay motivated and enjoy your training sessions
If you swim between 1200 and 3000 metres/yards during a 60 minute session you will LOVE Swimplan. You will really enjoy the variety and challenge of our programs. You'll get out of the pool feeling fantastic, not just because you have had a good workout, but because you have completed your program. You'll feel even better when you exceed your previous target times for a particular set, or when you notice your stroke has improved after trying a new drill.
A common misconception is that learning to swim with an efficient technique is difficult to achieve. Most beginner triathletes believe the swimming component is the most challenging and difficult part of the sport, requiring both stamina and skill. While technique is important for all disciplines, it is especially important for swimming. Swimming with a good technique can pay huge dividends including increased confidence, using less energy during the swim component and better race times. A swimmer with an efficient stroke will often come out of the water ahead of a fitter competitor who swims with a less-efficient technique.
Like any sport, the more you practice, the better you will get. There are some land-based activities you can do but getting in the water is the best way to improve.
However, you needn't swim endless laps. Swimming with a program designed for your level makes the workout far more interesting and enjoyable. Use Swimplan during your pool sessions to help improve your technique and become a stronger swimmer. No matter what level you are, Swimplan has workouts to suit.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Sailor Moon Short Stories, Vol. 2
Created by Naoko Takeuchi
Kodansha Comics
Rating: Teen (13 +)
At long last the Kodansha Comics release of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon comes to an end, with Sailor Moon Short Stories, Vol. 2. The second in a two volume collection of short stories contains "Princess Kaguya's Lover", a touching story of a cat and the man she loves, "Casa Blanca Memory", which gives us some insight into the life of Rei/Sailor Mars, and wraps up with the comedic "Parallel Sailor Moon" It's love, loss and wacky hijinks in the second and final volume of Sailor Moon Short Stories!
"Princess Kaguya's Lover" takes up the bulk of the volume and gives us a look into the life of Luna, one of the cats that serves as an advisor, aid to the Sailor Scouts. It's an interesting side story with a villain and concept that feels right at home with the rest of the series, but the interspecies romance feels a bit strange at times. Admittedly it seems to be almost entirely one sided, but there was still something odd about the whole thing. "Casa Blanca Memory" follows a similar path, giving us a villain who's tangentially connected to the main series and spinning out a tale that expands heavily upon Rei's character. It's interesting and fascinating to see more of her life and background explored, though the exact nature of the villain and how he connects to her love interest was left a little vague and left me scratching my head. The less said about "Parallel Sailor Moon" the better.
The artwork's awfully pretty but also fairly dated and full of odd, little anatomical mistakes, which means it's about what you'd expect from Naoki Takeuchi. The panel to panel flow can be a little tricky to follow at times, and the book's full of sudden cuts and shifts between scenes. She does do a fantastic job at conveying emotions through the montages, use of toning and other visual cues. Like the series the action is short, quick and not terribly exciting, but it's Takeuchi's ability to express the inner and emotional lives of her characters that's always been one of her biggest draws, and that's on full display in this volume.
Sailor Moon Short Stories, Vol. 2 is a mixed bag, but for the most part it's an interesting and enjoyable read. While the "Parallel Sailor Moon" tale was the weak link and the humor failed on nearly all levels for me, I definitely found myself wrapped up in and enjoying the other two stories, despite the occasional odd or difficult to follow moment in both. The side stories don't really connect with the overall Sailor Moon plot, but they do a good job at expanding on the casts personalities and fleshing out the members featured. It's a pretty enjoyable read for Sailor Moon fans.
Sailor Moon Short Stories, Vol. 3 will be available on November 26th from Kodansha Comics. Review copy provided by the publisher.
Wow, having seen a lot of the Sailor Moon episodes on Toonami, that cover shows something a young me would NEVER have expected to happen in the course of the story. That's the first time I've ever seen those two so….intimate. (I'm trying to think of the kids here, sorry…)
@Acer – Yeah, it was a little surprising to see, but it's kind of sweet too. I don't think it's too racy, but that's just me.
Shouldn't be too surprising. How else do you explain Chibiusa?
@Anthony – HAHA! Great point!
Something unique but nice way to represent different emotions in story . The expectation level was so up from "Parallel Sailor Moon" but they don't justified it so it proven weak but i am glad about this new part .

Surgery a real possibility for Pagan after setbackJune 22, 2013 Updated: June 23, 2013 12:05am
Angel Pagan chased balls in the gap with no discomfort. His rehab game in Stockton was going swell until he hit a grounder to second in the ninth inning and got to charge out of the box toward first base for the first time. When he got to the bag he felt a pop and knew immediately that he was back to square one after nearly a month of rehab.
Now, Pagan is awaiting a second opinion on whether to take another crack at rest and treatment, or to have surgery to repair the partially torn tendon near the bottom of his left hamstring.
Pagan did not say he was leaning toward surgery, and manager Bruce Bochy said the club "never" looks at surgery as the best option until all other avenues are considered. But Pagan acknowledged that an operation, which would cost him six to eight weeks, could be the best way to prevent another setback.
"The last thing I want is to try another thing and go back to zero," he said. "If he advises me to get rid of the problem, that's what I'm going to do. There would be no setbacks for that. The problem would be gone."
Pagan got caught in traffic and arrived just before the first pitch of Thursday's Class A game in Stockton. He said he had all the time he needed to stretch before entering the game. In two plate appearances before he aggravated his injury, he walked and hit a grounder so hard to first he did not have to charge up the line.
"It probably wasn't healed enough," Pagan said, adding that this is a "weird" injury that rarely happens in baseball. He was told an operation to repair the tendon would be "very simple."
Now, he wants to choose the option that gets him back in the lineup healthiest, not quickest, saying his legs are critical to his game.
"If I was a first baseman, I could probably go through it playing at 70 percent," he said. "I've got a big responsibility to this team going to the leadoff spot, stealing bases, scoring, playing center field. I take a lot of pride. Playing at 70 percent is not going to do it."

Improving the 8258 Crane Truck
Posted 11 December 2009 - 07:58 PM
I'm new on this forum and wanted to ask you guys a few tips for improving my Crane Truck.
I'm planning on adding a fifth axle on the rear, double wheels on the three rear axles and a scaffold.
I have pretty much figured out how to build the fifth axle, but where could I get eight wheels for my project? The size is 62.4x20. I've checked out the eBay and couldn't find any wheels for a decent price.
I live in Finland so the delivery cost are a bit of an issue if ordering overseas (like the USA).
Does someone have an idea how to adjust the height of the fifth axle? Like with a damper, similar to the solution on the front wheel of the 8480 Space Shuttle.
I will make it usable by hand - not by a motor or pneumatics.
I would also appreciate if someone knows where to get more of the large red panels on the 8258, next to the battery box. I'm planning to build the scaffold out of them.
Thanks for any info!

If only someone had put in a lot of effort to create some sort of website to Link people to Bricks.. hey hang on a minute!
www.bricklink.com << if you dont know this is the most useful site on the net, possibly more useful that www.lego.com!!
The service is usually very good - just check the shops terms before you buy - some sellers add tax and fees ontop of listed prices. shipping to finland won't be a problem in most cases. there are probably sellers in Finland anyway! just create an account and you will get a little icon next to the sellers name indicating if he will ship to you.
It is true that Lego make more rubber tires than any other company on the planet!

Well, according to your first post you would need only 10 of the metallic wheels...the rest of the wheels are not visible so they can be in grey
But, it will look great even without that new wheels
I agree that they are very expensive!
Looking forward to see your MODification!

If you are really a perfectionist, you will notice that the 8258 wheels have a slightly shorter hub than the older version which looked almost identical, so you can really only use wheels from another 8258 set.
I love Han's revisions, but for the dual rear axles, I think I like this one even better because it adds dual rear differentials as well.

Actually, if you really want to be a perfectionist and copy real vehicles, then Milan's sugjestion of useing standard grey wheels for the inside rear wheels are more like the real thing. Real trucks with dual rear wheels that have custom/chrome rims, never have matching inside wheels unless the wheel diameter has been changed. Since there not seen, it would be a waste of money. Some aftermarket wheels for dual rear wheeled trucks don't even have provisions of swapping them to the inside for tire rotation mantainence.

CHAFFEE -- The Chaffee Red Devils used a seventh inning rally to defeat Risco 8-2 on Thursday.
Weather forced the game to be moved from Risco, but the Tigers batted as the home team and tied the game 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth.
However in the top of the seventh, with two outs, the Red Devils exploded for six runs and put the game out of reach.
"The bottom of our lineup really came through for us and set the stage for our rally in the seventh," said Chaffee coach Brian Horrell. "That was good to see."
The six runs were more than enough as Chaffee hurler Cody Payne finished off a complete game in the bottom of the inning to seal the win. Payne allowed just two runs on eight hits while striking out seven and walking just one.
Payne was also 2 for 4 at the plate while Daniel Dooley was 2 for 3 and Layton Tenkhoff was 2 for 4.
Chris Pavy was 3 for 4 to lead Risco while Jordon Pavy was 2 for 4.

ORAN -- The Oran Eagles got a strong pitching performance from sophomore Seth Ressel and defeated visiting East Prairie 9-2 on Thursday.
Ressel tossed a complete game, four-hitter, allowing only two runs in the seventh while striking out three.
Blake Carlyle and Adam Schaefer each had two hits for Oran and drove in two runs apiece.
Zach Downing doubled for East Prairie while Shawn King tripled.

Geoffrey Wood, Blaine Johnson and Tyler Masters each had two hits and two RBI for Scott Central (2-4).
"One through nine, the boys put it in play for the first time all year," Scott Central coach Matt Limbaugh said. "This is a big win for this group. Hopefully, this will be a big momentum win for us. It's a good district win for us."

moreLove is awkward, as fans of Rainbow Rowell and E. Lockhart well know. Funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, this grocery store romance was a Morris Award Finalist for Best YA debut.
"Smart, honest and full of achingly real characters. And it made me laugh. What else would you want in a book?" —Melina Marchetta, Printz Award-winning author
From the moment Amelia sets eyes on Chris, she is a goner. Lost. Sunk. Head over heels infatuated with him. It's problematic, since Chris, 21, is a sophisticated university student, while Amelia, 15, is 15.
Amelia isn't stupid. She knows it's not gonna happen. So she plays it cool around Chris—at least, as cool as she can. Working checkout together at the local supermarket, they strike up a friendship: swapping life stories, bantering about everything from classic books to B movies, and cataloging the many injustices of growing up. As time goes on, Amelia's crush doesn't seem so one-sided anymore. But if Chris likes her back, what then? Can two people in such different places in life really be together?
Through a year of befuddling firsts—first love, first job, first party, and first hangover—debut author Laura Buzo shows how the things that break your heart can still crack you up.

You can safely delete it. Do so from the Profile manager (choosing to
delete the files as well). If necessary you'll have to go with
Windows Explorer afterwards to further clean things up if your profile

S Korea, Iran To Lock Horns In Soccer
Soccer fans will be glued to their TV sets early on Sunday morning as South Korea's national team takes on its nemesis Iran in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
The Koreans have something of a score to settle, having not beaten Iran in regular play in the last six attempts. It's likely to be a tight match, with goals few and far between when the teams meet.
The game gives Koreans a chance to take revenge for their 1-0 loss to Iran in September, which stung because it was played in Seoul. Meanwhile, the Iranians may be looking for payback after they were knocked out of the 2007 Asian Cup by the Koreans in a quarterfinal match.
Both teams have been starved of success in the pan-Asia tournament: Iran last won the tournament in 1976 and South Korea in 1960.
Another point of interest is whether South Korean captain Park Ji-sung will be able to join the century club of appearances for the national side at this tournament. He has played in 98 international A-match games so far in his career, and a win against Iran should take him to the 100 mark.
A loss, though, may end up leaving Park one short of the 100-game mark; various media outlets have reported that the captain, the most internationally well-known of any active Korean players, may retire from international football after the Asian Cup.
Kick-off is at 1.25am Sunday, Korea time.
