Lawrence Dane is an exceptionally fine, versatile and shamefully underrated Canadian character actor who's equally adept at both comedy and drama alike. Tall and lean, with silver gray hair, a gaunt face and a distinguished air about him, Dane is often cast as smooth business executives, physicians, police officers and stern authority figures. Born on April 3 in 1937 in Masson, Quebec, Lawrence grew up in Ottawa and initially took acting lessons in order to overcome shyness. Dane first started acting in the early 60s. He soon amassed a substantial volume of film and TV show credits. Lawrence gave an especially terrific performance as one of five doctors who find themselves being terrorized by vicious vengeful hillbillies when they go camping in the remote Canadian wilderness in the harrowing "Deliverance" variant "The Creeper"; the multi-talented Dane also produced this gritty and suspenseful cult favorite thriller. Other notable roles Dane has played are Michael Ironside's evil business partner in David Cronenberg's "Scanners", Melissa Sue Anderson's father in the superior slasher item "Happy Birthday to Me" and Peter Weller's tough, but fair boss in the excellent killer rat knockout "Of Unknown Origin". Moreover, Dane displayed a delightful flair for comedy in the amusing features "It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time" and "Find the Lady", in which he was nicely paired with a then-unknown John Candy. Now in his early 70s, Lawrence Dane still continues to act in both TV shows and movies with pleasing regularity.
Name: Lawrence Dane
Known for: Scanners
BirthDay: 03, Apr ,1937

Income Disparities, Economic Growth, And Development As A Threshold
Galor and Moav (2004) argue that in the early stages of development, physical capital accumulation is the primary source of economic growth. Thus, inequality enhances growth by channeling resources towards individuals whose marginal propensity to save is higher. In later stages of development, physical capital is replaced by human capital as the engine of growth. Accordingly, equality alleviates the adverse effects of credit constraints on human capital accumulation and prompts the growth process. This paper attempts to test empirically the finding that the impact of income inequality on economic growth depends on the development stage. A threshold estimation technique, developed by Hansen (1999), is utilized for a panel of 70 countries for the period between 1970 and 1999. The estimation suggests that there is a statistically significant threshold income per capita, below which the coefficient on the relationship between inequality and growth is significantly negative and above which the estimate is positive, but not statistically significant.

It's pretty sad that the highlight of Paris Hilton's career very well may be the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape in 2007. Released under the title "1 Night in Paris", the Paris Hilton sex tape ended up being just another pathetic story of one celebrity scumbag exploiting another.
In a way, Paris Hilton and Rick Salomon was a perfect match. Neither has any discernible talent, yet both feel entitled to the fame and fortune that has been bestowed on them. Hilton, as we all know by now, is essentially famous for being the great granddaughter of the Hilton Hotels founder – in other words, she is famous for being rich. Salomon's fame stems from the fact that he has dated a bunch of famous chicks; besides Hilton, he also has Shannon Doherty, Pamela Anderson, and Elizabeth Daily listed on his stud résumé. But perhaps his biggest claim to fame now is his co-starring role in the Paris Hilton sex tape.
It was Salomon himself who was responsible for the release of the Paris Hilton sex tape. Obviously, he wanted to make a quick buck once he saw his ex starting to get famous. The Paris Hilton sex tape was filmed in 2001 – three years before it would be formally released in 2004. It was obviously a home video, never meant for release, filmed with a single stationary camera, and mounted on a tripod, using the "night vision" setting. But then again, anyone who agrees to have sex on film is just asking for trouble.
Paris, for her part, denies that she had anything to do with the distribution of the Paris Hilton sex tape. She claimed she was in an altered state of mind and had no idea what was going on. Still, perhaps she should be grateful for Salomon's sleazy entrepreneurship. After all, it has showed the world that Paris might at least have one talent, after all.

Mizrachi goes heads-up for WSOP bracelet
The final table of Event #47 –yes the 2011 WSOP is nearing completion—a $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card-Stud hi/lo tournament, was one of the best of the 2011 WSOP with names like Mike "The Grinder" Mizrachi, 1998 Main Event Champion Scotty Nguyen, and high-stakes poker pro Abe Mosseri. But in the end it was an unknown player by the name of Owais Ahmed who would conquer all.
Ahmed's final opponent was last year's talk of the WSOP, Mike Mizrachi, who won the $50k Players Championship and final tabled the Main Event in 2010. Mizrachi had been shut-out up to this point at the 2011 WSOP.
The Grinder held a sizable chip-lead when heads-up play began, but after a short break the momentum swung in Ahmed's direction, despite a very rowdy rail cheering on the Grinder –which is becoming a staple at the WSOP. Ahmed explained the situation in the following way: "I had a chip disadvantage, and the room felt a little small," said Ahmed. "It felt a little like me against the world. We played about 20 minutes and then we took a break. During break I washed my face, meditated a little bit, and I just said 'I'm going to come out and play my A game.' That's what's going to win me the bracelet."
Here is a look at the final table payouts from the tournament:
1. Owais Ahmed – $255,959
2. Michael Mizrachi – $158,148
3. Abe Mosseri – $100,532
4. Scott Bohlman – $72,491
5. Scotty Nguyen – $53,091
6. Gerard Rechnitzer – $39,475
7. Greg Jamison – $29,791
8. Thomas Whitehair – $22,819

Madden brothers talk Miami, fashion
Brothers Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte were in town recently at Macy's in Aventura Mall. The duo were promoting their new album Cardiology and the Mad Mix collaboration with apparel label American Rag. They gave fans a chance to get autographs during a meet-and-greet before hitting the stage for an acoustic performance.
We got a chance to sit down with the siblings to find out their inspiration behind the new album, why they decided to create a women's clothing line and what they love about Miami.
Why did you choose to come to Miami to promote the clothing line and album?
Benji: "Honestly, Macy's selected the stores we would be coming to."
Joel: "But, we love Miami."
What do you like about Miami?
Benji: "We like the nightlife, and I like the Latin flavor."
Joel: "I love staying at the W Hotel when I'm here. The sports games are fun, too. It seems like there's always something going on in Miami."
Do you have any favorite restaurants you like to dine at here?
Benji: "I like eating at the restaurant that Gloria Estefan owns – Larios. It's really good."
Joel: "I like Larios, too and I also like Mr. Chow."
Why did you decide to collaborate with American Rag for your "Mad Picks" line and why did you focus on women's clothing?
Benji: "Well, we both love Macy's and we both love girls (laughing). And I thought about it, we look at girls all the time and what they are wearing."
Joel: (laughing) "It was a unique opportunity and something we had thought about for a long time."
What was your role in the collaboration?
Benji: "We could be clothing designers."
Joel: "But we aren't designers. We just hand picked the items we liked for Mad Picks." [Those items include boho chic tops, denim and bottoms.]
Cardiology is your fifth album. What was your inspiration?
Benji: "The inspiration was life. It has songs about everything from going out to our family life."
Joel: "We wanted it to be a feel good record."
Any favorite songs on the album?
Benji: "Mine is definitely "Harlow's Song". I love that song."
Joel: "It's about my daughter."
Now that the Macy's tour is over, what's next?
Benji: "We start our Cardiology tour in Vienna on January 21."
Joel: "And we kick off our North American tour in March. We'll be back in Miami in the summer."

Constitutional Constraints on Ad Hoc Legislation
By Anna Jasiak
Legislatures sometimes adopt laws that create a special legal regime for a particular case, rather than general rules for an indefinite number of situations or persons. These ad hoc laws are controversial. Politically, legislatures may be forced to act in one specific case (for example, as a response to a public outcry), but, in doing so, they risk violating the principles of the rule of law. Such legislative practice might lead to abuse of legislative power, inequality of citizens before the law, legal uncertainty, and weakening of the position of the courts. This in-depth study in the fields of constitutional law and legislative studies clarifies the use and existence of ad hoc laws, placing them within a constitutional framework of the rule of law. The book is a comparative study of the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands. Those who will benefit from this book are academics of constitutional law/legislation/human rights, practitioners of constitutional law, judges from constitutional courts, legislative lawyers, and legislators. It provides innovative and profound insights and will be a valuable addition to library collections. (Series: Ius Commune Europaeum - Vol. 96)

Hi Filip, I guess that also fixes the misleading html manager display (request times going up and up). That would be very nice. Just a quick shot: - maybe you can fix Procssing -> Processing everywhere - will this change the behaviour of the requestProcessingTime as one can retrieve from the MBeans of the GlobalRequestProcessor or Servlets? I guess (and hope) no? - lastRequestProcssingTime: This item is new but apart from the new setter and getter not used, especially not in the getRequestProcessingTime fix. If this data is needed, shouldn't we also expose it via the mbean descriptor? It's nice for a statistic sampling of response times.

Kamen Rider Wizard
The Same Yummy was one of Amadum's human-turned monsters in the world within the Magic Stone. He appeared with his friends listening to Amadum's broadcast that the 13 Rider Rings had been stolen. They turned their attention to where the young boy and girl were staying, assuming their intimidating monster forms before Rinko told them to back off.
The Same Yummy was later part of the group of monsters that tried to capture the boy and girl along with the Rider Rings they were carrying. They ended up fighting Kamen Riders Wizard and Beast, who also intended to take the Rider Rings to prevent the monsters spilling out into the prime world. The boy proceeded to summon Hibiki, Kiva, and Den-O, then Kuuga, Agito, and Blade to fight both the monsters and Wizard and Beast. When the children called to the sky for help, Kota Kazuraba heard them and appeared in their world as Kamen Rider Gaim. He proceeded to take on all the monsters by himself, finishing them off before introducing himself as Gaim.

The Munroe Elementary School PTA hosted a COSI On Wheels Day for all third-graders on Jan. 27. Students first attended an all-grade assembly where they unraveled a chemistry mystery using science to solve the clues.
The third-graders then participated in nine hands-on stations, exploring different scientific principles. Fun activities included learning about buoyancy, using microscopes, writing with invisible ink (and making it appear), testing pH, predicting the results of chemical reactions, learning about solids, liquids and gasses, and making slime!

How spiritual healer or fake saints are subjecting to women to torture? How people are going to fake saints to resolve their problems unknowingly in Pakistan which has become too much common. According to reports, majority of the visitors who come to those "pirs" are women which are either not able to conceive or they have grown tried due to their husbands' oppressive behavior.
On the other hand, in the side of in-laws they also have thinking as their daughter in law has been victim of black magic. It is also observed as some spurious healers exploit to women and use them for their own wrong advantages. In the given story, one elderly-looking person comes in the pictures and introduces himself as a saint to ignorant community.
People of the community also started to go to him with their problems and someone also got some relief after attending the meeting with him. As it is said earlier, women are always finds at large at the station of saint especially "fake saints". So one female who does not had offspring and became very mush disappointed when this thinking came in her mind.
When she talks with one of her best friend about her present condition she refers her to that fake saint for her ailment. She was also looking for some miracle to resolve her problem and she thinks it better rather than to spend money on medical ailment. Sometimes people became blind in their temptation and forget everything related to humanity.
Same was the situation happened in this story. When she goes to that one of fake saints, he asks her the whole story. She also tells him each and everything about her family. Firstly he said to her as she could not become mother in her whole life. She started to cry badly when she listened this. So after passing some time, he asked her to come in the next morning with one little boy if she wants to become mother.
Actually that fake saint had a business to abduct children in the disguise of spiritual healer. On the other hand, she could not able to find any little but her first niece. She goes with her niece to him with some cash money. He got both the cash and the boy from her and gave her a little thing to bind with her body. In this way these spiritual healer are using these innocent people for their black businesses.

Let me start by saying that i NEVER usually buy clothes for myself on line as I prefer to see the real thing before buying, therefore I was very skeptical.
however, Im a big fan of Net-a-porter's website and their newsletters with style updates, so I decided to give it a go.
I ordered in the morning, and by late afternoon the package had arrived, hand delivered!!!! I was very impressed...
unfortunately, the item i ordered didnt look quite right on me so i returned it, which i must say was easy and pain free as well.
so, all in all, it was a good experience, i have already ordered another item (a belt, less risk of it not looking right on me!) so must admit Im a converted E shopper now...

Rebuilding Canada's Globe and Mail
TORONTO—"I've been in the business for 50 years, and I've seen more change in the last three than in any other time. And the biggest difference is data."
That's what Phillip Crawley, C.E.O. of The Globe and Mail, Canada's leading national paper, told me when I caught up with him in Toronto, where I recently addressed the annual National Conference of newspaper publishers.
Story Continued Below
The latest in this latest three-year push was the launch, announced May 21, is a complete makeover of its mobile apps.
For Crawley, it's an extension of an effort that's been intensified since his newspaper erected a metered digital subscription platform, and began to collect data about what converts readers into subscribers.
"Now that we have data, we know that 70 percent of subscriber conversions happen when someone hits the paywall on a financial story," Crawley told me.
At 70 and as energetic as ever, his colleagues say, Crawley has seen a lot of change in the journalism business. Today, he has served 16 years, one of the longest-standing newspaper company C.E.O.s worldwide, having taken on that job in 1999. Since starting out as editor of The Journal, Newcastle upon Tyne in his native England, Crawley's career stops include both editorial leadership and business leadership roles at quality papers in New Zealand, Hong Kong, U.K. and Canada.
Maybe it's Canadian understatedness, or maybe it's the vast experience that Crawley draws on, but the Globe's relative steadiness stands out.
The Globe and Mail is the main national newspaper of the nation of 36 million, which about matches the size of California. Only the National Post, owned by Post Media, competes for that position, but its paid circulation is only a third of the Globe's. Post Media's Financial Post provides national business news competition. In a comparative sense, the Globe strives to be both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal of Canada, and I asked Crawley how he thinks North Americans to Canada's south think of the Globe. "I don't think they think about it all," he offered drily.
Crawley's take on digital disruption stands out as both measured and cognizant of newspaper's uncertain place in the media firmament.
The Globe put a metered paywall into place two and a half years ago. Consequently, readers now contribute 40 percent of its revenue, up from 20 to 25 percent only a decade ago.
Print circulation stands at 302,000 on Saturday, Canada's big weekend day; daily is at 230,000. Hotel copies make up 25,000 of each total.
Like its peers, the Globe has suffered significant losses in print ad revenue, and though, as a privately owned company doesn't release financials, has plainly felt the global newspaper turndown, though it has survived that turndown better than many of its Canadian peers.
While Canada survived the global Great Recession among the best of its Western peers, it now rivals the U.S. in print ad loss at its larger papers. Especially over the last half-decade, Canada has seen its own share of digital disruption woes,
Post Media, the company that grew out of the 2009 bankruptcy of Canwest, now consolidates operations, aiming for 15-20 percent cost cutting within three years, and will soon close on its acquisition of the Sun media chain, significantly reducing competition. Like the U.S. chains, it has announced a steady stream of newsroom layoffs over the last several years.
The new apps unveiled this past month offer three editions a day, playing with the idea of a traditional editorial curation and hierarchy, while engaged in a 24/7 news process. This month, version two adds a recommendation engine for all signed up readers.
The Globe has based much of its new strategy on analytics.
The data revelation about readers of financial stories recently prompted a doubling-down of editorial staffing in business. The Globe added 34 people to its business news reporting staff. Most transferred from other departments, though a number of new hires were included.
That's both an offensive – and defensive – move. The Wall Street Journal reopened a presence in Canada two years ago, but it's Bloomberg that is making the bigger push. Crawley cites an increase of 30 Bloomberg business staffers recently and the company's plans to launch a business TV report in the fall. While he sees that initiative as mainly intended to bolster Bloomberg's core terminal business, the competition for the Canadian business reporter has clearly intensified.
"Sixteen years ago, our main competition was the National Post," he says. Now, as that competition has faded, the challenge becomes more global.
In many ways, the Globe's business journey parallels that of U.S. and European publishers. Along that dimension, it displays the universality of contemporary news publishing challenges. Let's distill the Globe's journey into the modern digital world in these five points:
Business and politics, politics and business: Of course, The Globe and Mail has long been a daily read for the business elite. Crawley embraces its demographics despite criticism. The Globe now taps the verticals and niches of the digital world. The lead clearly is business, but it's business intertwined with politics and public policy, a strategy we can see in so many recent strategies from Bloomberg to Politico. Further t14argeting those who want real-time markets data, Globe Investor Gold sells for $20 a month to 10,000 subscribers.
Paywall progress: Crawley says he is so far satisfied with the paywall, which offers 10 free, monthly, metered views. It has pushed 50,000 digital-only readers to subscribe to Globe Unlimited. At $24 a month, a price that reflects a recent $4 a month increase, it would produce about $11 million a year. At 50,000, the Globe would rank among the highest regional dailies in the U.S., for digital only subscribers.
Activating those print readers: The Globe has hit the 50 percent activation mark, an important milestone for dailies. That means that half of its 150,000 print subscribers have registered for digital access. As the Globe sees its well-educated, affluent readership move increasingly digital, it wants to make sure it doesn't lose those readers. Activation is the first key to that. So while 50 is decent number after 30 months of a paywall, the fact that another 75,000 Globe subscribers only use it in print is an issue to be tackled.
The Globe, unlike some U.S. counterparts, doesn't charge any additional pricing for digital access, if subscribers take at least five days of print. In addition, like its Canadian peers it has eschewed opt-out pricing, which essentially forces customers to take an affirmative action to block a price increase associated with digital access.
Freedom from quarterly reports: The Globe and Mail is privately owned, essentially by the Canadian Thomson family, through its Woodbridge Company Limited. While the Thomson family – the Thomson of Thomson Reuters – was owned many newspapers, and other media, it smartly sold many at the top of the market; the Globe is its only remaining daily newspaper.
Whatever its reduced revenues and margins, the Globe today maintains a staff of about 300 journalists, down from a height of 370 five years ago, but, Crawley says, holding steady.
Going native: The Globe launched its content marketing business in 2007 – mainly for print-oriented solutions. As native advertising has become au courant, the Globe custom content group has pivoted to it. Strikingly though, it's a business for elite businesses only.
"Unlike the New York Times, which in my view, has taken on too many clients, " says Crawley, "we've kept a fairly select group of advertisers that we want to deal with because it has to be a good story, there has to be a good story worth reading….. We want to create stuff that people will want to read. Not crap, not junk.
"Some of the people who would like to do content advertising, honestly, there's not a story that can be easily told. I think that's the problem the New York Times is finding. Time spent and engagement metrics are not as good as they were. Average it out, not everybody is as interesting as GE."
Consequently, today, the Globe serves fewer than 10 content marketing customers. Clients have include HSBC, Toyota, Ford and Cisco.
The Globe's experience points to wider questions of the new native. Advertisers like it, readers click on it and, for publishers, it can be a great business.
"We're doing margins in our custom content business that we don't see in any other part of our business, 30% percent margin," says Crawley.
Given those results and those storytelling requirements, how much can native grow for the Globe and its content marketing-selling publisher peers?
Next up: The Events Business: In addition to the restyled advertising and circulation businesses, Crawley says the Globe will launch an events business next year. It will add still another small, but growing revenue source – all to offset those print ad losses. It's the same small ball that smarter publishers now invest in. Phillip Crawley puts it in a way familiar to his peers, "It's a lot of moving parts."

Airea extends its appeal
Fohhn Audio AG has specifically designed the ABX-3 Breakout Extension for integration into its digital, networkable and remote controllable Airea system. The new D/A convertor integrates into Airea, connecting master module and compact active loudspeakers via a single Cat-5 or Cat-7 cable.
Sharing the same basic functionality as the existing Airea ABX-1 D/A convertor, the compact ABX-3 breakout box is additionally equipped with Fohhn DSP. This now allows active loudspeakers without integrated Fohhn DSPs to be included into the Airea system. When the ABX-3 is connected into the signal path before a group of these speakers, it acts as their master, providing additional signal processing functions such as EQ and delay. It also facilities more effective remote control when using Fohhn Audio Soft. Equipped with its own Airea-Net outputs, the ABX-3 additionally offers a means of signal routing that allows signals to be split and routed, hence simplifying cabling requirements.
Moving from system design to interior design, Fohhn Texture Design is a new and exclusive coating and lacquering process that aims to produce optimal visual integration of the manufacturer's loudspeaker systems. In addition to the full range of RAL colours and gloss levels, the German manufacturer has made an extensive selection of photo realistic finishes ranging from stainless steel and carbon to sandstone and marble, in addition to various wood effects. Initially available for Fohhn line source loudspeakers with aluminium housings up to a maximum length of 1.5m, these include models from the Linea LX, Linea Focus and Linea Len Series, in addition to the Airea loudspeakers.

- Sumo
- Japanese wrestling. As the 'sport of emperors' it is performed in shrines and has acquired many Shinto features, such as the shide on wrestlers' loincloths, the salt sprinkled prior to a contest, and the shimenawa used to construct the arena. A curious festival called nakizumo (crying sumo) held at the Ikiko jinja, Tochigi in late September features two sumo wrestlers who rock babies in their arms, the winner being the one whose baby cries first (sic).

Good information. Very helpful!

CURLYMARIE--I was thinking the same things...thanks for your input.
YASHANI--Prayer is not "religious;" Prayer is spiritual.
SHIRKEYBOB1--My thoughts exactly. I will be researching contemplative prayer. Thanks!

Thank you very much, MACKYDEE, for the free instructions. I always found meditation intimidating, not wanting to chant OM and not able to clear my mind easily. I combined your suggestions with PMR (squeezing and releasing each muscle two times each to relax them) and now have a great new way to meditate and relax. My blood pressure thanks you!

The trick with this, for me, is that I tend to have rather low bp, as it is. I mean, it's borderline normal, but I can't get up on a dime without some dizziness. I used to meditate randomly and I'd get rather light headed while on my back...
What can meditation do for that? I wonder...

My husband and I both went through MBSR - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction training with a local teacher. Books and DVDs are also available for those who prefer to do it alone or not having funds available to pay for a class.
As other's mentioned, it's really all about reducing the noise in our mind, not getting anxious about things from the past or things that "might" be in the future, just getting centered in the present. Some days you can do the same thing just by slowly counting to 10 while focusing on your breathing (grin).

shirleybob1, just wanted to give you a little feedback. Meditaion and Prayer are 2 seperate issues. Anyone reguardless of race, sect and religion can meditate, it has nothing to do with religion. There are some religions who do use meditation as part of there ritual. Now, as far as using a rosery this is a religious practice.( Meditation is Spiritual, Prayer is Religious.) Religion may not be for everyone that's on here, while Spirituality is an individuals choice.

I was jazzed to see an article about meditation, since I've been thinking of looking into it, but I was immediately turned off by the sales pitch. I like my advertising where I can see it - and ignore it if I want to. Jeepers.

Did you notice the cost for the TM classes (so that you will learn to do it "right") is $1,500. Absolutely ridiculous!!
Meditation is easy. One can learn to do it by reading a few simple steps. Relax in a quiet setting where you will not be disturbed. Breath deeply, close your eyes, hands on your lap with palms upward as if you are about to receive a gift (you are.)
Now just relax every part of your body as you breathe, starting with the crown of your head, your face, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, stomach, pelvic area, legs, knees, calves, feet, and up the back side of your body ending with the crown of your head. With each breath in, relax. With each exhale breathe out tension from each area as your awareness rests there. Simple!
It feels very good. Do it twice a day for 15 or 20 minutes. After awhile, you will be able to get into the meditative state just with a couple of breaths, or even while walking.

I agree with ShirleyBob1 that almost any meditative practice produces the same sort of drop in BP. That being said, I do find that my Buddhist metta meditation works best for me. I believe that this is because I do it for a longer stretch of time per session.
When I first started SP, my BP was dangerously high and I was on medication. I once measured my BP just after meditation and was surprised and delighted at how much it had dropped. It really, really works! With diet and exercise, my doctor told me my blood pressure was "perfect" at my last visit!

While I believe in the power of meditation and/or contemplation, I remember learning about the TM movement in a college course on cults. I did a brief websearch using the words 'transcendental meditation cult' and came up with some troubling information. Perhaps this article should include a disclaimer?

I do practice Transendental Meditaion as well a MBSR - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. My experience speaks volumes as the role Meditation played and still plays in weight loss and mental focus!

It makes me laugh that people are so open to something that sounds exotic like transcendental meditation. I have to admit that when I was younger it sounded more appealing too, but lots of types of regular prayer do the same thing. I am Catholic and say the rosary. I say it while I walk or hike sometimes and sometimes while I am sitting or lying in bed. Comtemplative prayer has the same affects. So for those of you that are more in the Christian vein there are loads of books and articles on contempletive prayer. Either way clearing your mind of clutter and centering yourself are good for your body.

Great article. I'm learning Tai Chi because it is a type of meditation, but good for Balance. I use the videos by TERRY DUNN, which are wonderful for beginners. I use the videos for Yoga by Rodney Yee, as he is easy to follow and a Teacher for B.K.S. Iyengar.

This sounds very good. I hope it will work. I will try it.

Stars hold off CoyotesFeb 9, 2014 - 5:31 AM
Ray Whitney and Valeri Nichushkin supplied the goals for the Stars, who have won three of their last four. Dallas is now 4-1-1 and has two shutouts in their last six games at home.
"Kari was rock solid," Dallas head coach Lindy Ruff said of Lehtonen. "Maybe he wasn't challenged with a ton of saves but he had to make a couple of real nice saves for us at key times."
Radim Vrbata tallied a late power-play goal and Mike Smith allowed two goals on 33 shots as the Coyotes have now dropped two of their last three.
"We haven't played with enough consistency to put us in the top eight (in the standings) and we are hovering around it," Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett said. "Hopefully around the last stretch drive we can get in and play some consistent hockey to give us a playoff chance."
Whitney got the Stars on the board early after he moved into the Phoenix zone up the left side and stickhandled past a defender to wrist a shot past Smith 2:10 into the opening stanza.
Trevor Daley fired a shot from the middle and Nichushkin batted the puck down off Smith's shoulder and into the net. The play went under review and was ruled to be a good goal with 34 seconds left in the second.
Shane Doan took an interference penalty and Mike Ribeiro went off for unsportsmanlike conduct to give the Stars a 5-on-3 for a full two minutes with 10:39 remaining in the third, but Dallas did not add to their lead.
Phoenix pulled the goalie with 1:38 to play and Vrbata fired a shot past Lehtonen on the power play to account for the final score.
Game Notes
Phoenix defenseman Michael Stone played in his 100th NHL game ... Dallas forward Jamie Benn extended his home point streak to eight games with two assists in the game ... Phoenix forward Antoine Vermette extended his point streak to a career-long 10 games with an assist ... Phoenix defenseman Keith Yandle's assist moved him into a tie for sixth place on the franchise's all- time defensemen assists list (Phil Housley, 195).

Highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral associates are sought to join the laboratory of Dr. Paolo Provenzano at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN. Our laboratory studies the physical and molecular mechanisms driving cancer progression to metastasis and resistance to therapeutic intervention, and develops therapeutic strategies directed against the stroma. Our focus is largely directed toward the study of breast and pancreatic cancer as the outcome for patients with metastatic breast cancer remains poor, while pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is, with rare exception, a uniformly lethal disease that is resistant to all conventional chemo and radiotherapies. Therefore, to answer fundamental questions in cancer biology and oncology we interface a bioengineering and cell and molecular biology research approach. Advanced quantitative imaging, cell and matrix mechanics, tissue engineering and cell and molecular biology techniques are utilized extensively (for example Cancer Cell, 21(3), 418-429, 2012; Oncogene 28(49): 4326-4343, 2009; Biophysical Journal, 95: 5374-5384, 2008). Our goals are to use these platforms to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of disease progression and develop novel therapeutic strategies.
Two areas of inquiry are being actively pursued:
1) Dissect the physical and molecular mechanisms by which matrix architecture and stiffness influence distinct tumor cell populations and their interactions during disease progression to metastasis.
2) Develop and test strategies to target the stromal compartment in order to impede disease progression and/or enhance transport of small molecule therapies.
A Ph.D. in the field of Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Immunology, or a related field and a demonstrated, published, track record of productive research experience. For the cancer bioengineering position a background in engineering or another physical science field or quantitative biology is desired. For the cancer biology position, backgrounds in all fields of biology will be considered. Candidate must be experienced in essential techniques in molecular and cellular biology such as tissue culture, transfection / infection of cells, PCR, Western blotting, IHC and IF. Successful candidates must have excellent communication and organizational skills, the ability to develop creative approaches to experimental design and be able to work collaboratively. Candidates with additional experience in advanced imaging techniques, tissue engineering, modeling, or immunology are strongly encouraged to apply.
About the Provenzano lab
The Provenzano laboratory is both an engineering and biology laboratory and is fully equipped for routine cell and molecular biology work, experimental mechanics, and computational anaylsis. In addition, the Provenzano lab has a our own multiphoton laser-scanning microscope, with FLIM and PLIM detection and full photoactivation control, and is specially designed for intravital imaging experiments. Our laboratory is part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering (a top 25 ranked department) and the Masonic Cancer Center (an NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center) at the University of Minnesota (a vibrant research environment and an excellent setting for biomedical research, currently ranking 8th among public universities and 13th overall in research expenditures; 2012 National Science Foundation report).

I noticed that 90% of all questions are from people that are Anonymouse, Why is that? Are you that ashamed to reveal yourself when asking a question.
Most Helpful Guy
Keeping your privacy and being ashamed are different things.
Nobody wants to be on an intimate level with the whole world.
Ought to pretty obvious why.00|00|0
i agree but not all the questions are on an intimate level.
Nope... some are just trolls asking stupid questions just to provoke a reaction.
Besides, people have different boundaries to what's considered intimate or personal stuff - it's highly a subjective definition.
makes sense guess you can't do anything without a troll there to cause trouble.

The important festivals are as follows:
This is celebrated for seven days in the month of April/May with the hoisting of the sacred flag on the Dwajasthambam (Dwajarohanam) on the day on which the star poosam falls after the new moon occurring in the Tamil month of Chithirai (Medam in Malayalam) the festival commences. On the previous day evening vasthusanthi is performed to ward off the evils. For all the days of Utsavam much importance is given for Veda Parayanam by learned pundits. There will be Abhishekams and special poojas during this period. For the first six days the Utsavamoorthy is taken in procession in a Decorated Ratham (car) specially built for the purpose within the agraharam during nights. This procession will be accompanied by Nadaswaram and Veda Parayanam. On the Seventh day which usually would be on the day on Chithirai Star, the main Utsavam is celebrated. On this day around 5.30AM Prathikshaya Mahaganapathy Homam will be performed and after completion Rudhrabhishekam and Poomodal for the Presiding Deity will took place and at around 9.00AM the Utsava Moorthi is taken in procession on Caparisoned Elephants through the entire agraharam. When the devotees would offer, for the Lord Paddy, Rice, Jaggerry, Plaintain, Malar, Sugar, Avil and Coins in containers and this is known as "NIRAPARA". This procession would be accompanied by Chanda Melam and it would be over by about 12 noon and thereafter Maha Dheeparadhana takes place and Annandhanam will be served in our Padasala.
The second session starts at 2 PM with the Kelikottu at the temple premises and there after Panchavadhyam commences at 2.45 PM. After playing the instruments there for about one hour the procession with Caparisoned Elephants starts with Panchavadhyam and when it reaches the Eastern Side of the Agraharam the Panchavadhyam comes to an end and Pandimelam played with Chenda commences and the procession returns to the temple around 7 PM and Maha Dheeparadhana takes place during this hour the full temple will be decorated with Dheepams and Niramala which is a worth watching and thereafter there will be display of Fireworks.
The night session at about 10 PM there will be display of the Chenda Instrument by experts on this line called "Thayambaka". On completion of this programme at about 2 AM again the session starts from Kelikottu at the temple premises and there after Panchavadhyam commences at 2.45 AM. After playing the instruments there for about one hour the procession with Caparisoned Elephants starts with Panchavadhyam and when it reaches the Eastern Side of the Agraharam the Panchavadhyam comes to an end and with Panchari Melam procession and this goes on till dawn before termination in front of the temple and thereafter for the Elephants food will be served.
Later, at about 9 AM on that day (8th day), the Manjaneer Arattu takes place with One Elephant where the Utsava Moorthi is taken procession in the Agraharam and thereafter to the Pallasamkolam (tank) for a holy bath after the prescribed rituals when the villagers also take bath in the tank as a sacrifice. After returning to the temple the Dwajarohanam (bringing down of the sacred flag) takes place and Mahadheeparadhana is performed to the Deity and with this the Annual Utsavam Celebrations come to a close.
On a suitable day (Wednesday or Saturday) within the Utsavam period referred to as above "SASTHAPREETHI" is celebrated to please Dharma Sastha when special poojas are performed and Devotional Songs in praise of the Lord are presented and feast served to all the residents in the Agraharam as well as to those in the neighbouring areas.
Moreover during the Utsavam Celebrations before the Main Utsavam Day "MAHAGANAPATHY LAKSCHARCHANAI" is performed and prasadams will be distributed.
This falls in the month of Avani (August/September) every year. Special Poojas and Abhishekams are performed in the morning and the Unchavrithi Deity is taken in procession in the Ratham and in the Night Special Neivedyam of "ELAYADA" is offered to the Presiding Deity and will be distributed.
This is celebrated for 9 days in the month of Purattasi (September/October). The members of the village offer Abhishekam to the Deity, by turn in the morning with Dravyams such as Milk, Curd, Panchamirtham, etc. and in the Evening there will be Illumination with Dheepams in the Temple. After Mahadheeparadhana Bhajan will be there and after Special Neivedyams such as Kozhakkattai, Neiyappam, and Plantains, etc. will be distributed. On the 10th day (Vijaya Dasami) there will be special chanting of Vedas in the morning followed by KALABHABHISHEKAM (KALABHAM) to the Deity for which 4 to 5 litres of Pure Solid Sandal Paste. After adding the required perfumery items the sandal paste is converted into semi-liquid form and thereafter applied on the head (Sirasu) of the Idol which would cover the Presiding Deity fully and the next day the sandal paste is distributed as prasadam to all the villagers. After the Kalabhabhishekam there will also be a feast for the villagers.
This is usually celebrated on the Second Saturday in the month of December in praise of Lord Ayyappa. In the morning at around 8 AM there will be "LAKSHARCHANA" to Lord Dharmasastha will be performed. A namavali 'MADHAGAJA VAHANA MAHAMATHE HARIHARA SOONO NAMOSTHUTHE" will be sung nonstop for 12 hours from 8 PM to next day 8 AM and thereafter Mahadheeparadhana. The celebration will conclude with a lunch to the villagers.
Apart from the above, daily Ganapathy Homam during the month of Adi, Avani Avittam (Sravanam), Mandala Pooja, Special Pooja and Abhishekam on Pradosham days, Panaka Pooja on the day of Thai Poosam, etc, are also performed in the temple.
(Reproduced from Souvenir released during the Maha Kumbhabhishekam held on 31.05.2002)
Thaipoosam is an important festival celebrated for Lord Subramanya. The major attraction of this pooja is the offering of Kavadi to Lord Subramanya by devotees. Kavadiyattam is associated with the thaipoosam festival. Thaipoosam is celebrated during the Malayalam month of Makaram (January-February) and the day of the star Poosam around Pournami (Full Moon).
In North Melarcode village, Kerala, the Kavadi pooja festival is being celebrated in a grand scale, by the SUBBARAMA PATTER's Family. This festival has been continuing for the past 380 years by the descendants. Prime importance is given to the spiritual aspects such as Rudra abishekam, Vel Pooja and Singing of the ever green Kavadi songs. The Kavadi pooja is performed on the auspicious Kirthigai day in the Tamil Month of Thai (January). During the pooja, "Vellam (Jagary) Mudira" is filled in and the same will be attached to both sides of the Kavadi.
The Kavadi from Melarcode is very attractive and beautiful in all aspects and it is a testimony of the perfect workmanship. The Kavadi is of various sizes, the arched structure decorated with flowers, peacock feathers, velvet silk clothes of various colours. It takes the labour of 60 days with 10 skill full labourers working on it. The main components are the flowers, flags, the balls and the garland-all of which are made of netti-which is specially brought from Kolkatta every year. It must be noted that the Kavadis are remanufactured every year afresh. After pooja, devotees who are prepared to take the Kavadi will seek the blessing from the guru and the guru places the Kavadi in their shoulders. The Panaka pooja is conducted during the night of the Kavadi pooja day. Next day early in the morning the family members and associates aggregating around 200 people will start the Kavadi yatra to the temple town of Palani, walking the distance of 120 kilometers in 5 days.
Elaborate arrangements are in place at all the halting point's enroute to Palani. Food is served for the Kavadi troupe and other devotees who join them at various points during the Kavadi yatra. Upon reaching Palani, the famous Panchaamirtham is prepared using the Vellam Mudira. Panchaamirtham Abishekam is performed to Lord Subramanya on the Thaipoosam day. Milk Abishekam is performed to the deity the next day.
During the entire journey, Kavadiyattam and bhajans are conducted keeping the devotees spell bound. The pooja is performed with a very spiritual fervour chanting the Kavadi songs. After Melarcode Late.Vaidyan Subramania Iyer, it is Shri.M.V.Krishna Iyer, his younger brother who is on the saddle now.
Several songs have been composed by the family members. 'Sree Subramania Subrapatham' has been composed by Late M. S. S. Mani Iyer, the founder Trustee of "Mayuravaha Charities", (Bharat Batteries). He dedicated the Subrapatham to Lord Muruga at the Palani Temple. 'Karthikeya Pancharathinam' has been composed by Brahamashri M. V. Krishna Iyer.
