Prajapatya Marriage
Types of Hindu marriages are described in Hindu mythology as eight types. Some of the marriages from among the eight types were practiced in ancient culture according to the sayings of
. Among the eight different types of marriages, all are not religiously sanctioned but it has been said that the people belonging to the ancient India were followers of these Hindu marriages. Marriage is commonly regarded as a process which helps to unite two individual souls and at the same time bring the two families close to each other. As per the Hindu philosophy, marriage is not just a process of coming together of the individuals but it is also a holy bond and a commitment which lasts a lifetime. Even the holy scriptures of the Vedas suggest that an individual should enter the phase of Grihasta after his or her student life. Thus, it can be said that marriage is almost a mandatory custom in the life of all the Hindus.
The Hindu religion is based on the eternal philosophy of the Vedas and this philosophy is well briefed in the six shastras and the
Manu Smriti
written by the rishis who were philosophers of the Vedas. They practiced
Bahiranga Yoga
, realised God and Veda mantras within their heart. Those ancient rishis were
, Kambadh,
, Vyas Muni and divine beings like
Lord Rama
Lord Krishna
, Sita, Brahamcharini Gargi who was the guru of king
and various other rishis and maharishis of ancient times.
Among all the philosophies which are still followed in India mainly by the Hindus, the institution of marriage occupies a very vital position. However, as per the eternal philosophy of the Vedas, there is a restriction on child marriage. The age of marriage for a boy is 25 years or more and that of a girl is 18 years or more. In the middle and present period however the custom of child marriage against Vedas was initiated. The reason behind it may be any but it has created a huge loss for entire humanity. In Manu Smriti shlok 3/21, eight types of marriages have been stated, but of eight the last two are prohibited.
Marriage is considered to be a religious ceremony by a Hindu. It is accompanied by the holy yajna and the Veda mantras. The Vedic mantras are chanted in order to wish a happy life to the couple. The mantras instill a pious feeling into the hearts of the couple. The ritual of marriage is generally performed by a priest or the
. The concept of caste plays an important role in a Hindu marriage. Almost always a prospective groom or a bride is advised to marry within his or her own caste.
In earlier times, child marriage was a very common institution and it was practiced most frequently. Parents decided on the marriages of their children at a very early age. The prime concern of negotiating the marriage was to find out the compatibility between the two families. It was believed during those times that if two persons know each other right from childhood it is easier on their part to understand each other in a better way. Hence children were married off at a very tender age but the daughter stayed with her parents until she attained the age of puberty. But today child marriages are completely prohibited and not only that, children are also given scope to choose their own grooms or brides. Thus, we can say that the Hindu outlook towards marriage has widened its spectrum and has become much tolerant in nature in the course of time. As per Manu Smriti there are mainly eight types of marriages that are prevalent in the
Hindu philosophy
Brahma Marriage
Among all the eight types the Brahma form of marriage holds a supreme position and this system of marriage does not involve any system of dowry. Brahma Marriage takes place only after the completion of student hood of a boy and in this system the bride's father ensures that the prospective groom has acquired the knowledge of the Vedas unfailingly.
Daiva Marriage
Daiva Marriage, on the other hand is regarded to be inferior to the Brahma marriage since in this system a woman has to look for her groom that in turn is considered a demeaning practice for a woman. In this form of Hindu Marriage the Hindu girl is married during a sacrifice to a priest. After waiting for a reasonable period to get a suitable man for their daughter when they fail to find anyone, the girl's parents go looking for a groom in a place where a sacrifice is being conducted. During this marriage ceremony the girl is well groomed with ornaments and is surrendered to the priest who performs the sacrificial activities.
Arsha Marriage
The word Arsha means Sage or Rishi in
Sanskrit language
and hence, Arsha Marriage suggests marriages with the sages or rishis. In this form of marriage the bride is exchanged for two cows received from the groom. This type of marriage took place because the parents of the bride couldn't afford the expense of their daughter's marriage at the right time according to the Brahma rite and therefore the girl is married to an old sage. As per shastras, noble marriages were far away from any form of business or monetary transactions and thus this form of marriage was not regarded noble.
Prajapatya Marriage
Unlike the Brahma form of marriage, kanyadan and any kind of monetary transactions do not form an important part in the Prajapatya Marriage. In this form there takes place the joint performance of sacred duties by a man and a woman. According to
Swami Dayanand Saraswati
, the founder of
Arya Samaj
, the father gives his daughter to the bridegroom, by addressing the couple with the mantras, 'May both of you perform together your dharma.' This kind of marriage may be similar to that of the Brahma Vivah or Marriage, which may be the origin of Prajapatya Vivah but there are certain subtle differences for instance in the Brahma form of marriage the groom's family sets out to seek a suitable bride for their son.
Gandharva Marriage
The Gandharva form of marriage is somewhat similar to the present day love marriage. Those couples who are not permitted by their families to get united seek refuge in this form of Hindu marriage. The Gandharva Marriage or the marriage of the celestials involves simple exchange of garlands upon which the sanctity of the marriage is confirmed. Reference to this type of marriages is found in a number of epics and mythological texts. This form of Hindu marriage reminds one of the love and romance between the mythological characters, Dushyanta and
Asura Marriage
Asura Marriage on the other hand takes place when an unsuitable bridegroom approaches the family of the bride and offers as high price as he is able to afford to get married to the girl. It could thus be looked upon as a bribe for getting the girl the boy desires even if he is in no way a match for the girl. This system of marriage was not a much desirable form because it involved the commoditization of women.
Rakshasa Marriage
The Rakshasa Marriage is also not a desirable form of marriage because it involves the use of force to woo a girl. In this type of Hindu marriage the groom fights and wins over the family of the bride and carries away the bride and then persuades her to marry him. Thus, it can be said that the Rakshasa form of marriage involves improper use of force.
Paishacha Marriage
The last and the eighth type of Hindu Marriages is the Paishacha Marriage. This type of marriage is considered the most inferior form of Hindu marriage and has been prohibited in the later ages. In this form of marriage, the girl is captured and is forced to marry even against her desires. Here, the wish or desire of the girl is not considered and the girl was even married to someone who she did not like. The groom's family does not even present anything in cash or kind to the family of the bride. It was considered that men were permitted to marry those women in this form of marriage, whom they had seduced when the woman was intoxicated, asleep or insane. Thus, the Paishacha Marriage was later prohibited.
Hence, it can be summed up in saying that the Hindu philosophy encompasses eight different forms of marriages which are very different from each other and had a unique taste of their own. The ultimate aim of all these forms of marriage is to unite the two individuals. The rituals and rites of these marriages are different from each other and some of these marriages are still in practiced in Hinduism.

Read the amazing letter a Mom wrote to her son after learning he was gay from a coming out facebook post he made:
I was surprised by your facebook post where you came out. I want you to know that I love you unconditionally. I love you with my actions, not just my words. I'm so proud of you. You are the bravest person I know. I'll fight for you always. Your sexual orientation does not define you. You are still the boy who forever won my heart. The only thing that concerns me is the number of empty soda cups and tea bottles in your room. Throw them away before ants come inside.
I love you always –
Update: The mother who wrote the above letter, took to Have A Gay Day's Facebook page to defend her letter as authentic, Michelle writes:

Best of Pateley
6 Dales Trail hits Pateley Bridge
The 6 Dales Trail is a new long distance footpath that goes through Pateley Bridge and part of Nidderdale. It was publicly walked for the first time on June 26th and 27th 2010.
The weekend of June 26th/27th 2010 saw the inaugural public walk of the 6 Dales Trail, a new 38 mile long distance footpath. The path goes from Otley in Wharfedale to Middleham in Wensleydale, the mid point being (you guessed it!) Pateley Bridge.
Janet Street-Porter cut the tape in Otley's Manchester Square at 09.30 on the 26th and 30+ walkers set off under the overall leadership of John Sparshatt, the deviser of the new trail. We were blessed with fabulous weather for both days - if anything, slightly TOO warm (though that made the ice cream at Brymor near Jervaulx Abbey even more welcome)!
See the gallery for photos of the motley crew (including yours truly and his better half) following their arrival in Pateley, where they were greeted by the Mayor of Pateley, Chris Henderson (complete with ceremonial chain!).
Our Masham to Pateley walk (Walk 7 on Friday 24th September) utilises part of the 6 Dales Trail route, so don't miss it if you fancy a 'taster'!

DREAM FORUM - Dream about visiting dead family and God killing big black dag
POSTED June 25, 2012, 13:01 by email@example.com (Viewed 589 times)
THE DREAM : I had a dream of my dead father(both of my parents are deceased)and myself,traveling through the cosmos(like a whole neighborhood in heaven of sorts)we were visiting places,and people, he stopped and showed me a water reseviour he had made,and there were lush fruits and,and I said to him"Dad, you can't build this on someone elses property!" and he said "everyones stuff is everyones up here." so we cruised on, then 3 little kids tried to make us run them over in the road, and I got angry and was gonna go tell their mother, and my father said "No, I ma tired. let's go!" and that is when I noticed the bandage on his chest(he died from a heart attack)but I did anyway, and my mother was in this two story house, with all of my other dead relatives, and she grabbed me, and hugged me SO TIGHT(I actually STILL felt her embrace after I woke!!) and she was kissing me, and telling me she loved me, it felt SO amazing! And there was a young man cooking for my mother, aunt, cousin and grandmother,and I think he was my grandfather (he passed when my mother was 6 years old, so he was young when he died),then my Dad said, "let's Go!! I ma tired!" so I said my good byes, and there where all these kittens in front og this house, that were the babies of a cat that was poisoned,and my mother mourned him so in life, so it was cool to see the kittens, then I was leaving, and this black man in a loin cloth was going to kill this HUGE,HUGE black dog,and I said "dude, I can't let you kill that dog!" and he said " I have to Midgie, for he is the bad energy that keeps you from your dreams,he blocks your mantra." or something to that effect, and i said "okay, but please do it after I leave, then we left and i woke up!!
THE BACKGROUND:when i woke, after this dream, I felt my mothers embrace, it felt amazing, as my grief over loosing both parents, my aunt, my cousin and grandmother all with in a few years, I have asked for a "sign" I have seen several Psychics, and the day before this, I begged for a "sign" I was missing them all so much, and had had several terrible dreams where my Mom cussed me out)I had to move her into a house that she HATED and said it was "haunted",she said she saw "ghost" all the time, but the house she came from was hazardous to her health, ans she was also put on home hospice at the same time,and this house was very scary, bad energy was in there, and I have always felt guilty and afraid she might still be there,it was haunted, and she passed away there, long story, but I did what was best for her, but had tremendous guilt over it all, she suffered,died 4 times, and one of those times, swore she traded her life for my Aunts, who died of ovarian cancer before my mother, when she was healthy her whole life,so my mother was not only mentally tortured, she suffered terrible physical pain as well, it was gut wrenching to see her suffer, but I had to move her there, because her former house was really uninhabitable, anyway, I hope you read this, the dream is one small part of some crazy events, I would like to know what the dog means, and if it was really my parents, I miss them terribly, thank you

Jesus Looks Beyond Politics by Lee Grady
In today's hot-headed presidential debate, it might be better for some of us to keep our mouths shut.People didn't vote in ancient Israel, nor did they put "KICK THE ROMANS OUT!" bumper stickers on their chariots. But there was plenty of political anger seething in Palestine, even without Fox News, CNN and MSNBC around to stir the pot.Jews especially abhorred tax-collectors, since (1) tax-collectors were usually thieves, and (2) they worked for the hated Roman Empire.

The Political Illusion by R.J. Rushdoony
The Political IllusionBy Rev. R.J. Rushdoony – bioIt would be absurd to deny the importance of politics, but it is also very dangerous to over-rate it. one of the persistent problems of christendom has been the tendency to over-rate both church and state. In Numbers 18:21-26, we see that God orders the tithe to be paid, not to the priests but to the Levites, whose varied functions included education. Thus, worship per se received mainly a tithe of the tithe. At the same time, the civil t … [Read more...]
Wealth and Heirship and Envy by R.J. Rushdoony
By Rev. R.J. Rushdoony – bioOne of the most powerful, corrosive, and destructive forces in all of history is very much at work today in all the world: envy. Envy is, in terms of Biblical faith, very clearly a sin, but, in the modern age, it comes disguised as a virtue. The motive force in much of the equalitarianism of our day is not a sense of brotherhood but an envy which seeks to level all things. Envy also masks itself as a concern, very commonly, for social justice, and it lays claims to … [Read more...]

The Changed Meaning of Liberty by Rev. R.J. Rushdoony
Words change their meanings, and people who assume that older meanings still prevail invite deception thereby. It is part of current Marxist ideology to give a new content and an alien meaning to such familiar words as peace, freedom, republic, law, and so on.New meanings precede revolutions, because the content of human hopes is altered dramatically, and the existing order finds that it cannot satisfy the new meanings.

Reader Anthony K. from Bellingham, WA recently emailed with an interesting question: "Our bug out location is in the San Juan Islands and the ferries will obviously be down with an emp or dangerous social conditions. We have a rubber raft with oars but will need to travel 30 or more miles over open water possibly in inclement weather. Are outboard engines operable after emp or are there alternatives? I would appreciate your input."
As someone with no boating experience, I wasn't sure if an outboard engine would suffer the same effects as a car engine during an EMP. I did a little digging, though, and I believe any small outboard engines, lawnmower engines (2 or 4-stroke) would be okay. The reason being, simplified, is that EMP only fries integrated circuits and fuses. Older engines aren't computer driven, so I think they would still run.

We like our fish tacos soft, juicy, and overflowing with luscious chunks of fish and bits of vegetables. If you don't have time to make the special Cucumber Salsa that we suggest to go along with these tacos, you can just add chopped cucumbers, chiles, and tomatoes, along with a squirt of lemon or lime juice and some olive oil.
Special tool: Charcoal or gas grill
Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus 50 minutes for the Cucumber Salsa
Yield: 3 servings
1-1/2 pounds salmon, snapper, bass,
or halibut fillet
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Salt and pepper to taste
12 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
6 lettuce leaves
Cucumber Salsa
Lime wedges for squeezing
Garnishes: Avocado, radish slices
1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill.
2. Drizzle the fish with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until barely done, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Remove the fish from the grill, let cool slightly, and then pull apart into large flakes.
3. Place the tortillas on a work surface. Line each with a piece of lettuce and top with chunks of fish. Top each with a generous spoonful of Cucumber Salsa, a squirt of lime, and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with avocado and radishes and serve.
You don't have to start this recipe with uncooked fish. Tacos are a terrific way to use leftover fish. Just warm the fish first and then pull the flesh apart into large flakes.
You can store this salsa in the refrigerator up to 48 hours.
Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes marination
Yield: 3 cups
4 pickling cucumbers, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped (1/3 cup)
1 small tomato, seeded and diced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 serrano chiles, stemmed
and sliced in thin rounds
Place all the ingredients in a bowl, combine well and let stand, covered, for at least 30 minutes.

|This article is about the characters. You may be looking for the Space version, the Star Wars versions, or the Star Wars II versions.
"Birds of a feather fight together!"
|Jay, Jake, and Jim
|Splitting into three separate birds & slightly speeding up
Triple Pop: Clear blocks in 3 areas (Angry Birds POP!)
|First Appearance
|Theme 1-10
|Mountain Bluebirds (Sialia Currucoides)
|Most levels
Jay, Jake, and Jim, otherwise known as the Blue Birds and The Blues are characters in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. They were first introduced in 2009 with the original launch of the game. The Blues are Mountain Bluebirds and a set of triplets. Originally, they were presented as a single small blue bird in animated shorts and promotional art.
All 3 birds are completely identical. They have slightly longer beaks than Red, notable red-orange bags under their eyes, and unlike the other birds they have no eyebrows. They have 2 top blue feathers and 2 black back feathers. Additionally unlike the other birds, they have no chest feathers.
In the film version, The Blues are small anthropomorphic Blue Birds as their eye color are different, Jay's eyes are blue, Jake's eyes are teal and Jim's eyes are brown. Both Jay and Jake have yellow feet while Jim's are orange.However, they are the most unstoppable brothers in Bird Island.
Personal Data
- Name: Jay, Jake, and Jim (The Blues)
- Known Aliases: Blue Bird(s), Lightning Birds (from Angry Birds Space), Duplicate Birds
- Group Affiliation: The Flock, The Flock in Space, The Flock in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
- Known Relatives: Each other (Triplets), Greg Blue (father), Olive Blue (mother)
- Best Friends: Each other, Bomb, Bubbles
- Voiced by: Heljä Heikkinen (Angry Birds Toons), Noah Schnapp, Owen Vaccaro, and Pierce Gagnon (The Angry Birds Movie)
They first appeared in Theme 1-10 , Poached Eggs and have appeared as a playable character in every version and episode of the game released so far, though he is not necessarily in all levels. In the Fuji TV exclusive episode: Sakura Ninja, the Blue Birds appear dressed as taiko drummers. This was the first time they have appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.
These birds are the weakest playable characters but have the unique ability to multiply into three identical copies. This ability is triggered by touching the screen or clicking the mouse (depending on the version of the game the player is using).
The Blues' splitting ability can be exploited in different ways. By splitting just before impact with an obstacle, the three birds' force on impact is concentrated for maximum force. Alternately, the birds can be split early allowing them to spread out and hit more obstacles at once.
While the Blues do not cause much damage with most obstacles, they do have a unique strength against glass/ice, able to penetrate it with surprising ease. They also can damage or destroy damaged shards of wood. However, they cannot destroy stone at all.
- Have The Blues get near the glass. Before making contact, split them. They will cause major destruction on it.
- If you use The Blues on wood, they will shatter one piece of it, even though you already split them.
- Try to not use The Blues on stone. They are useless on it. However, they can topple it over, but it's not worth using them on stone.
- Use it if you fire too high to attack like an airstrike.
The Blues, like the others, get surprised when it comes to egg theft and smuggled birds. They are daring and inquisitive and often get themselves into trouble and cause mischief, causing the Flock to have to intervene. An example may include the episode Egg Sounds, where the Blues trick Red, Chuck, and Matilda into thinking that the eggs are speaking. They are the youngest members of The Flock, excluding Bubbles.[1]Unlike the other birds, they are fond of Mighty and they visit him often, according to the comics. In the toons, they are unruly, mischievous, and playful. All the Birds treat The Blues specially, as they are only children. For example, Red would teach them respect, Bomb would play with them, Matilda teaching them to eat healthy, and Hal to look after them.
While the Blues aren't as dedicated to egg-protecting as Red, they still care for the eggs and always somehow rescue them from the pigs when they are captured. They are very cunning and can see someone's intentions almost immediately, as seen in True Blue? and Catching the Blues. They hate being controlled and don't like following other's ways, as they think they can do it better. They demonstrate this in Full Metal Chuck, where they hate following Chuck's orders and are able to complete all of his challenges fluently and better than him.
The Blues description from an old Angry Birds Official Website
"The Blues are the pranksters of the flock who love nothing more than playing tricks and getting up to mischief. Trouble-making is what they do best – like the time they dressed Chuck in a pig costume as he slept and then called over Terence to deal with the green intruder. Let's just say Chuck jumped up pretty fast after seeing the terrifying Terence at his bedside! Arrrgggghhhhh……!!! These guys may have a carefree attitude, but they're also super-smart. When playing a prank they find clever ways to hide their tracks and keep everyone guessing! And how about this for a special power...? They cling on to each other to look like a single blue bird, and then in mid-flight unleash a surprise three-way attack to bombard the pigs from different directions! Boom!! If Red and Matilda are the mature birds looking over the flock, then the Blues are the young little hatch lings. When they get caught being mischievous, they quickly show those helpless puppy eyes and then it's impossible to stay mad at them! Matilda wants them to eat vegetables, Red talks about responsibility, and Bomb teaches them how to have fun – so guess who they like the best?"
The Blue's modified description from the Birdsonality Test:
"The Blue Birds are the pranksters. Quick and inventive, they keep their friends amused with their latest mischief. They enjoy arguing and especially playing. Being such a creative type, they can have a hard time focusing on tasks, especially when they feel tedious or routine. But when they do focus, they are resourceful and inventive problem-solvers."
Main Article: Angry Birds
This is the Blue's first appearance. They were often thought to only be one bird who could clone himself. The Blues appear in every theme of the game, and also appear in every cutscene. They are considered original members of the flock and thus have appeared in every installment after the original game.
They are first introduced in Poached Eggs, level 1-10 in a glass and stone structure. This is where most players learnt that The Blues were only able to destroy glass and not other structures.
The Blues were kidnapped, along with Red, Chuck, Bomb, Matilda, and Hal, in The Big Setup and they were saved by Terence, the Big Brother Bird.
Many fans adore the Blues due to being the only bird whose specialty is glass, and also for their cuteness.
Main Article: Angry Birds Seasons
The Blues made their second appearance to what was originally Angry Birds Halloween. Like the first installment, they are the second bird introduced in the first theme, Trick or Treat. Afterwards, they appear in all the following themes.
Sub Article: Ham'o'ween Short Movie
The Blues are trick or treating, and notice Bubbles, the Orange Bird in their candy basket. At first, they don't think much of him, but see pigs walking by. Afraid to be seen, they hide behind a tree only to realize that Bubbles is unintentionally kidnapped by the pigs, being lured by their candy. They get into the King's fortress by wearing one of the pig's masks, and stop King Pig from eating Bubbles by using controls on a conveyer belt. Bubbles is suddenly angered, as the King Pig ate a piece of candy he was aiming for, and he puffs up, revealing his ability. Afterwards, the Blues and Bubbles walk back from the castle, which is now crumbling apart.
Sub Article: Year of the Dragon Short Movie
The Blues have also traveled to China twice. While there the second time, The Blues, while hiding, watched the Pigs' production of the Mighty Dragon puppet show and witnessed the Dragon's attack. They first watch the play that the pigs have set up. The bird-puppets tend to eggs, but are suddenly frightened by the King Pig who comes to steal their eggs. However, they strike back using the Red-Koi stickers, and the King is frightened. However, the Corporal and the King are insulted and blow away the stickers. This causes the Blues to be angered, and they fling a Red Koi into the air, summoning the Mighty Dragon and ultimately destroying the showplace.
Main Article: Sakura Ninja
They also visited Japan, where they dressed as taiko drummers.
Main Article: Angry Birds Rio
The Blues, along with Red and Chuck, are tending to eggs but are captured by the smugglers and flown to Rio, where they are to be sold. Angered, they rustle in the cage so hard that it ends up exploding. The Blues escape, and assist in freeing the birds in the cages. Once they leave the den, they retreat to the jungle, getting rid of marmosets in their way. After the birds hijack the smuggler's plane, they use it to fly back home to Piggy Island.
Main Article: Angry Birds Space
In another adventure, The Blues and the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained super powers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs. During this time, despite their adventurous nature, they were often homesick and wanted to go back home. They gain costumes that resemble The Flash, and when flung they emit a flashing light of electricity. They still obtain the same power of splitting into three.
Main Article: Angry Birds Star Wars
Main Article: Angry Birds GO!
Main Article: Angry Birds Star Wars 2
Main Article: Angry Birds Epic
Main Article: Angry Birds Transformers
Main Article: Angry Birds Fight
Main Article: Angry Birds 2
Main Article: Angry Birds POP!
The Blues are having fun with Red, Chuck, Poppy, Willow and Stella.They pay an occasional visit for a limited time.
RedRed is seen as a father-figure to the blues, however more strict than Bomb. He places them over the egg's safety, and trusts them to do so, exampled in the Toons episode Dopeys on a Rope. On Slingshot 101, Red is very concerned for them after being flung into a mountain, afraid that they will be defeated by the pigs. However, in the end they are seen playing with each other.
Red also thinks less of the Blues, and underestimates their ability to defend themselves. He does not realize how cunning and thoughtful they are and as a result end up doubting them.
In the film version, Red actually protects the Blue Egg during the confrontation against Leonard. As Leonard was lost in the explosion, Red manage to survive as the Blue Egg that he carries is already hatched and to see the Blues which belongs to Greg Blue and Olive Blue as he returns these triplets back to them.To thank you Red for saving them,Jay,Jake and Jim make an orchestra with all hatchlings on the island and sing the song about him.
Chuck and Jay, Jake, and Jim are considerably good friends. However, sometimes The Blues are annoyed by Chuck's nonsense, just like the other birds. The Blues are stubborn towards Chuck when he made them go through his obstacle course in the toons episode Full Metal Chuck. In the Toons episode The Bird Who Cried Pig, Chuck is welcomed by the Blues and they say, "hi" to him. (assumption because they don't speak in the toons episodes)
BombBomb acts as a more tolerant father-figure to the blues, exampled in the episode Shrub It In where Bomb is playing with them. Bomb also is seen playing with them in the toons episode The Bird Who Cried Pig. They also happen to call Bomb "Uncle Bomb" in the Angry Birds Mini-Comics #1. It is also said on the Angry Birds Official Website that The Blues prefer Bomb over Red due to Bomb's more likable personality.
MatildaThe Blues see Matilda as a mother figure, as she constantly scolds them for doing wrong things, as exampled in the Toons episode Do As I Say! The Blues don't like it when Matilda bosses them around and are usually scolded for the things that they do. The Blues also are very aware of her temper and care for her, as exampled in the Toons episode Shrub It In where they don't want to tell her about her rose bush to hurt her feelings.
While the Blues dislike Matilda's cooking, they are aware of her sensitivity and try not to hurt her feelings, however they are unsuccessful.
Hal is seen as a better father-figure to the Blues, as they choose to tag along with him than Red, who offers to follow along. Hal is willing to help them through many obstacles, like crossing a cliff, being shelter for rain, and being a boat to cross a river. It seems to be that the Blues stick to Hal more because his beak an extremely useful component of him.
It can be assumed Terence and The Blues are good friends. In their description on angrybirds.com, it is shown that the play pranks with him as some sort of prop, as it mentions they dressed up Chuck in a pig costume and called Terrence over to deal with him.
The Blues treat Bubbles like a younger sibling. When The Blues barely knew him and he got captured by the pigs, they went out of their way to rescue him. They also don't seem to get very upset when he eats most of their candy, meaning they are more tolerant if he wrongs them in any way. The Blues also think he is cute and coo over him at the end of the Ham'o'Ween Short Movie.
Below are The Blue's different counterparts in different installments of Angry Birds.
Jedi Younglings
|Jedi Youngling

These chirpy chicks are the apprentice of Yoda who retain the Blues' original ability to split into three, and unlike the original game, they can cut through wood as well as glass. They are first seen in Rise of the Clones chapter, assisting the other birds in fighting Zam Wessel.
All of these young trainees have a short Padawan haircut. They also wear novice helmets which protect them during fights.

- The Blues are the only birds who have no eyebrows, except in the early cinematic trailers but they can look angry.
- Their eyelids appear to change color in different media. In the games, their eyelids are blue, but in several of the animated shorts, their eyelids are red.
- They are possibly based upon the Mountain Bluebird.
- The Blues first appeared in the original Angry Birds sketch in 2008, along with Red; possibly showing that they were the first 2 created Angry Birds.
- In Angry Birds Toons the Blues have a Theme Song. This makes them (along with Willow and Stella) the only birds with a consistant theme song.
- Game after game, the Blues' power never changed. This was until the release of Angry Birds Go! and Angry Birds Epic; however, this can be excused as it is not a slingshot-based game.
- Interestingly, they also appear in every Angry Birds title. (This excludes spin-offs, however they also appear in Bad Piggies and can still split in 3)
- The Blues are named "Jim, Jake, and Jon" in the Angry Birds Comic. This is most likely a typo.
- Jay is the oldest and leader of his brothers, Jake is the middle child, and Jim is the youngest.
- It is unknown how Jay became the leader of his brothers.
- Red,The Blues,Shakira Bird,Chuck,Bomb and Matilda are the only special guests in Angry Birds POP! so far.
- The Blues are the only birds who don't have eyebrows in Red's flock. This may be due to their young age, but that doesn't explain Bubbles's case.
- In The Angry Birds Movie international trailer, The Blues' feathers are diffrent shades of blue (Jay's feathers are pale light grayish cerulean, Jake's feathers are pale light grayish sapphire blue, and Jim's feathers are brilliant turquoise), making them look like different hatchlings, possibly because Rovio wanted the Blues to be surprise characters to the fans. In a TV spot, they also have diffrent coloured eyes (Jay's eyes are blue, Jake's eyes are teal, and Jim's eyes are brown).
- In Angry Birds Blues, Jay's eyes switched from blue to teal, Jake's eyes switched from teal to blue.
- For some reason, in the Angry Birds Movie, the Blues are younger than Bubbles and much smaller. But, in the game it shows that Bubbles is younger than the Blues.
- For unknown reasons, whenever playing Angry Birds Seasons -or any other Angry Birds game- and the player splits the birds, the birds immediately turn into their corpses. This is seen as a glitch.
- In Hiccups, the Blues appear to have a fear of wash time.

I have a 2000 Expedition and it was prewired for a controller, even though it did not have a trailer tow package.
I bought a 7 pin trailer connector upgrade kit (Hoppy or Draw-Tite) that included the 7 pin connector for the back, fuses and relays to upgrade my Ford. All the wiring to the back of the truck was already there, but only connected to a four pin connector before I installed the upgrade. It was fairly expensive for the kit ($50), but it had all the right parts. There were GM kits also, but I did not look at them. Wal-mart sells the 7 pin connector upgrade as a separate part for about $25-30, but it does not have the fuses and relays.
I also had to buy the wire pigtail that goes from the controller to the plug under the dash in the vehicle, and I got that at U-haul. Once I wired the pigtail onto the controller, it just plugged into the factory plug under the dash.
A also remember there being an issue with the trailer package wire colors changing on certain years of the GM trucks in the early 2000's. Some folks used the old wiring diagram by mistake and caused the trailer brakes to come on all the time. Make sure you get the right color codes.
Inertia vs. timed brake controllers is always a discussion in trailer forums. I'd read through them and come to your own conclusion.

News Release
Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to Speak at Duke Dec. 1
November 17, 2005
Note to editors: Reporters who want to cover Julie Gerberding's speech must contact Laura Brinn by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, at (919) 660-2903.
Durham, N.C. --Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will speak at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business on Thursday, Dec. 1.
Gerberding's speech, "Beyond Katrina: Scaling Up For Pandemic Flu," will focus on how the CDC is leading preparedness efforts and how businesses are key partners in today's public health efforts.
The public is invited to attend the speech, which begins at 6:15 p.m. in Fuqua's Geneen Auditorium and is part of Fuqua's Distinguished Speaker Series and the Health Sector Management seminar series.
A physician specializing in infectious diseases, Gerberding was selected to head the CDC following her leading role in the CDC's response to the anthrax bioterrorism events of 2001.
The CDC is a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is charged with the prevention and control of infectious and chronic diseases, injuries, workplace hazards, disabilities and environmental health threats. The agency is also responsible for protecting people in all U.S. communities against illness and injuries caused by infectious, occupational, environmental and terrorist threats.
"Hosting Dr. Gerberding at Fuqua is a great honor and a wonderful learning opportunity," said Dr. Kevin Schulman, director of Fuqua's Health Sector Management program. "Dr. Gerberding is managing challenges few of us could imagine, including public health, identifying and responding to emerging diseases on a global basis, and now biodefense, all while transforming the CDC to help the organization meet its expansive mandate. By all accounts, she is skillfully managing all of these multiple roles."

Artopium.com -> Library Index -> Music Terms -> Beam
Music Term: Beam
Definition and background:
A thick horizontal line that is used to replace the flags of a series of two or more notes that form a rhythmic grouping. Beamed notes are easier to read than a series of notes with flags. The number of beams used is exactly the same as the number of flags it is replacing. Beams are typically used in rhythmic groupings that span one beat of the specific meter of the composition. This makes it easier to read the rhythms and know what rhythmic patterns are associated with each beat.The beam is typically placed based on the farthest notehead from the middle line of the staff. If the farthest notehead is below the middle line, then the beam will be placed above the staff, and if the farthest notehead is above the middle line, then the beam will be placed below the staff. The shortest stem should be at least one octave long. The beam was first know as a ligature in medieval notation.Also [Eng.] Beam; [Fr.] barre; [Ger.] Balken; [It.] barra; [Sp.] barra. A broad, straight line connecting two or more eighth notes.
A broad, straight line connecting two or more eighth notes
