There are so many ballooning companies in Cappadocia, it's hard to to decide on who to hire. The place we are staying recommended Goreme Balloons at 150 Euro each for 1 hour. TA has Kapadokya Balloons listed as #1 and Goreme Balloons as #2, however, there are not any reviews of Goreme Balloons for 2011.
TTP recommends Royal Balloon and Butterfly Balloons. He says that you are supposed to receive a $15 Euro discount with Royal if you mention TTP.
Although many have recommended the longer 1.5 hour flight at 250 Euro each, the 1 hour flight is already a major splurge for us. And we have been ballooning before in Namibia over the stunning red dunes and dessert landscape. I'm hoping this will be as good or better, if that's even possible.
Thank you,

We went with Goreme Balloons last summer. The 45 minute flight lasted 90 minutes. The last 20 minutes or so were spent trying to land on the back of the service truck. That was fun. We paid 130E through our hotel.
One negative was how crowded the balloon was. I think there were 20 or 21 people in our balloon (they had said there could be up to 20). Combining the hot flame of the balloon with that many people I found the experience good but a touch less than comfortable.

Thanks for the replies, they were helpful. We've booked with Butterfly Balloons for Sunday morning. Hoping their smaller basket and and max capacity of 16 makes it more comfortable. It's 150E each with the mention of TTP and cash discounts. They are also #1 on TA with 100% positive reviews...many of them recent.

I know you have made your decision, but we went with Kapadokya Balloons and had the best time ever, last summer. There were 8 in our basket and our pilot,Graham, originally from Australia was the most experienced, delightful man. He had been flying for over 25 yrs all over the world and Cappadocia was his favorite to do. you just glided ithe air with no feeling you were up in the air and then you look around and you are just in awe of it all!!
You will love the experience, it remains one of my fav things in over 20 yrs of international travel.
Have a ball!

We used Butterfly last week & the experience was top notch. Mustafa was our pilot & we really enjoyed it. We had only 12 people on the flight with only 3 of us in our compartment.

I just came back from Turkey and used Kapadokya Balloons when I was in Gorome. I had a great time with them. There's always some risk involved but I felt safe with them, because they seem to have a good reputations among the guide books.

We went with Butterfly Balloons and our basket only had 14. We were in the air for about 1 hour 20 minutes. We took off from Love Valley and our pilot, Mike, was great. We dipped down into the valleys which made it more fun.
Another highlight is that Rick Steves was with us too! I wasn't sure if I was more excited to meet him or go ballooning, especially since we just spent 4 days following his Istanbul guidebook.

Oh how neat was that! Was he on vacation or a working trip?

I think a little of both. He joined one of his tour groups that has a guide to do a quality check and scouting updates for future filming.
It was pretty surreal. The ballooning company van picked us up first at 4:20AM and then the next stop was a group that included Rick Steves. It was so early, I wasn't sure if it was really him until he got in the van. We arrived from Istanbul the night before where we had just spent 4 days following his guidebook, so it was strangely ironic. Plus we watched all of his PBS Turkey episodes and listened to his podcasts planning the trip. On the ride, I acted like I didn't know who he was and tried not to stare while the excitement in me was building up. We had a chance to talk to him at the breakfast orientation and from what I understand, it was his first ballooning experience. Super friendly, as you would expect.
We have a library of his guidebooks from over a decade of traveling throughout Europe, so it was definitely a highlight

I'm planningn a 2 week trip to Turkey for 2012 after having spent 3+ days in Istanbul last month and being blown away. I will likely do a packaged tour to Cappadocia and use the balloon company offered by whichever tour package I choose. Here's my question. It sounds from a couple of you that even though you selected the 45 minute flight, you were actually up in the air much longer. I'm wondering if that's common? Should I choose a 45 minute tour anticipating I'll be in the air well over an hour? Would the 90 minute tour likely last 2 hours or would that one probably only last 90, making the 45 minute tour a much better deal??
Report Abuse
We took the shorter tour and I felt like it was plenty. I don't know exactly how long we were in the air, but our group of five all agreed it was enough.
Report Abuse
Our flight was 1 hour and I agree it was enough.
I recommend against Urgup Balloons. Seemed very disorganized, with no promised safety briefing, which meant that no one knew what position to get into when the pilot yelled "Landing positions!" as we bounced and skidded to a landing. Also, we were on the balloon's second flight of the morning (picked up at 6:40 am), which meant that we took off where the early morning flight had landed. With the winds that arose after sunrise, the pilot couldn't maneuver the balloon over the most interesting part of the area (the rock valleys); we flew mostly over the plain, ending up in a field near a housing development. Still it was a fun trip--best part was that we had only 12 people in the basket so there was plenty of opportunity to get good views.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the feedback Althom and Aprillilacs. Aprillilacs, if you had had a better organized balloon company,and had been able to fly over the rocks, would that have impacted your feeling that one hour was enough? I'm just thinking I'll probably never do this again and so want to make it as memorable an experience as possible.
Report Abuse
Oh, I would have happily stayed in the air for hours, but I wasn't disappointed with the one hour we had. If you can afford more time, by all means go for it!

We flew with Butterfly Balloons and Mike in January -- it was insanely wonderful -- definitely a smaller basket (Maybe ten of us?) and Mike was our pilot (this is a man who has flown over the North Pole -- he knows what he is doing.) They started us a bit later than the rest of the balloons, and we did quite a bit of soaring (above misty clouds so that Mount E was suddenly very clear and the ground looked foggy), then almost low enough to touch the pigeon houses in the valley. For anyone who wonders, as long as your feet, hands and head are warm enough, January is no problem for ballooning -- the burners are actually quite warm.
I never thought I would be a balloon ride kind of gal but I count this, and the pictures I got to take, as some of the best times on a trip.

About Urgup Balloons... I should mention that our hotel proprietor did not necessarily recommend the company, in general. He specifically set us up with his buddy, who he knew to be a skilled and experienced pilot... and who just happened to work with Urgup. And that guy was terrific.
Just wanted to be clear about that!

Supreme Court directs to Supertech to pay 10% investment returns to homebuyers

Supertech said it's already paying return on investment (ROI) to buyers. "We are giving homebuyers ROI on their payment. This will continue till the case is finalised," said RK Arora, chairman at Supertech.
The company in a statement said, "Few allottees of our Apex & Ceyane Towers who were taking return on investment from us, went to Hon'ble Supreme Court seeking refund of their investment.

Shoeb Alam, counsel for the some of the homebuyers, said, "We argued that Supertech be directed to refund the entire amount paid by the homebuyers along with 14 per cent compound interest from the date of payment till the high court judgement."

Did anyone else get any text messages from Verizon... and why on earth would Verizon send them? Just seems like a waste. EDIT: Just for clarity, this was on her D1.

Snow Globe Festival 2015 Snapchat Live Story
Last night another live snapchat story was posted on the story page of the Snapchat mobile app. The snow globe story contains a series of snaps from different users attending the annual snow globe music festival in South Lake Tahoe California. The festival is part expedition part music festival. Those who attend the festival must travel through thick snow to reach the preformances. There is also an igloo that serves as a party house for listeners.
Where is The Snow Globe Music Festival?
The snow globe music festival is located in south Lake Taho in California. It is located in the mountains of Northern California. The area offers skiing and apparently is covered in snow this time of year. The live snaochat story shows people huddled in the snow as well as a skier performing a jump. The festival requires a trek through the snow to reach the event. This would be an interesting atmosphere for a music festival for sure.
Check out the story in the Snapchat app if you haven't already.
Happy Snapping!

Some 2.5 million strikers turned out to march in rallies across France to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to increase the retirement age from 60 to 62, the CFDT trade union estimated Tuesday.
As is traditional in France, official turnout estimates were much lower than the organisers claimed, but interim figures from both police and unions were higher Tuesday than on a similar day of mobilisation in June.
Then police estimated the final total at 800,000 protesters and labour leaders at two million, and reports from around France suggested that the rival numbers for the latest strike day would match or exceed these totals.

Chapter 6: Living of Love
Eric's lips are much softer than I thought they would be, not that I've thought much about his lips. It dawns on me that the scruff that's usually in his face is missing in action, but it's nice to feel his skin under mine. He tastes like cinnamon and his hands remain at his sides until I pick them up and put them on my hips.
He's a surprisingly good kisser, and when I lick the seam of his lips he opens up for me, thereby obliterating the rumor that he doesn't have a tongue. Mine slips into his mouth and his grasp on my hips tightens a little. I clutch the front of his shirt and don't break off the kiss until I have to pull away to breathe.
My lips are a little swollen from kissing and the way Eric's eyes are still closed leave me wondering how he feels about what I just did.
"I'm sorry," I apologize.
His eyes open and Eric says, "Don't apologize. I'm glad you did that. I've wanted to for…"
My cheeks flush. Eric wanted to kiss me? I had no idea.
He looks like he might do it again but I can't let him, as much as I might want him to. Instead I lift the hand that he burned the week before and look at his palm. The bandage is gone, as is the injury.
"I brought back your coat," I tell him and release his hand.
"Thank you."
"Sookie!" Stan calls from the kitchen.
I sigh and shout back, "I'll be right there!"
It feels like there's so much more that Eric and I need to talk about but now isn't the right time for that.
"I have more questions but now's not the time. Could we maybe talk some later?" I ask.
Eric nods and I offer him another smile before pushing up on my toes and kissing the bruise on his chin.
"Thank you," I whisper one more time and then get out to the kitchen before Stan comes looking for me.
As usual, the Friday night crowd keeps me busy, but I'm acutely aware of just how much time Eric spends watching me. When we hit a lull I sit down at a table with Jessica. She's reading the latest Cosmo and I'm trying not to stare at Eric while he eats.
"Oh, take the quiz with me!" she says.
"Those quizzes are stupid."
"So we'll have a good laugh," she shrugs.
"Fine," I sigh.
"What's up with you? You've been weird all night."
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"Uh huh." She doesn't believe me.
Jessica starts the quiz and I answer absently. I'm still stuck on that kiss in the back room. I wasn't expecting to feel anything, especially Eric's tongue, but I did. And I liked it.
A lot.
I interrupt Jessica by asking, "What do you think of Eric?"
She shoots me a strange look but then shifts her eyes over to him behind the counter.
"I don't know. He's… he's Eric," she shrugs.
"What's that mean?"
"I don't know. Don't you think it's strange that he doesn't talk? I mean, he's hot and all, but he's got zero personality."
"So you're not at all curious about him?"
"Not really." Jessica looks at me and her expression immediately changes. "You slut! You're into him, aren't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," I say and get up from the table.
Of course Jessica just follows me.
"Are you fucking him?" she whisper shouts and stops me from going into the back room. "Sookie, answer me."
"No, I'm not fucking him," I say but feel my cheeks flush at the thought of what that might be like.
Oh my God, I'm imagining sex with Eric.
And it's good. Very good.
"You sure about that?"
"Yes, I'm sure about that," I roll my eyes.
"So then what's the sudden interest in him about?"
"I'm just wondering."
I look over at Jess again while she looks through the hatch window at him.
"He's got a great ass," she says a little too loudly for my liking but if Eric hears her he pays it no mind. I'm not sure I like her talking about his ass, though. "Plus he's got big hands and feet, so as long as he's in proportion he could ruin you for all other men if he knows what he's doing."
"Oh my god, stop talking!" I laugh and pull her away from the hatch.
"Look, Eric might be fun for a night, but I don't see him being the one for you," she says.
I want to ask why but I know what she's going to say already.
"What about Sam?" she asks.
"Sam who?"
"Sam as in Hoyt's friend. You know, the one I mentioned before you got sick?"
"Aw, Jess, no. I'm sorry, but no. I'm sure Sam is great but…"
"But what?"
But I'm interested in the silent busboy.
"I'm just not ready to get back into dating."
"You can't let a douchbag like Alcide sideline you, Sookie."
"It's not him, I swear. I'm so over him."
I really am. I haven't thought about him at all since the attack. I deserve better than what Alcide Herveaux could ever give me. The only person he's interested in is himself. It took me a while to figure it out, but even if he hadn't met another woman I would still be his second choice. Fuck that.
"I just need a break from the whole scene," I tell her.
Jessica looks disappointed but if I'm going to give anyone a chance right now it's Eric. I don't think he rescued me just because it would ensure that I'd go on a date with him, but because that's just the kind of person he is. I do think it helps that it was me in trouble.
"Fine," she sighs. "But snap out of it soon. Hoyt and I need another couple to double with besides Jason and Dawn."
"Make more friends. Or better yet, set Sam up with Tara," I suggest.
Tara is another friend of ours from high school. Her boyfriend, Eggs, was killed eight months ago. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got shot during a gang dispute on the south side of the city. He was working with younger kids to keep them off the streets and away from gangs or drugs. He was a great guy and could have made a difference in God knows how many lives if he hadn't been murdered.
"I don't think Tara's ready for that yet."
"Run it by her. It can't hurt. If she says no you're no worse off than you are now," I point out.
"True," she agrees.
The bell jingles over the front door and we look through the hatch window to see Tony Marbles take a seat at the counter next to Bert 2.
"We'll finish this later," Jess says and goes off to deal with her customer.
It's 2:27 AM and I've called my failure of a brother twice. No answer. I'm going to kill him.
Having waited long enough, I zip up my coat and walk out of the diner. I'm hyper aware of what's going on around me. My eyes are wide open and I'm not going to be taken by surprise again. I decide to take a different route home than the last time, mostly because I don't want to pass by that alleyway. If I do I know I'll just have a panic attack.
I'm barely past the parking lot when I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around to see Eric there, buttoned into his coat. He stops in his tracks until I wave him forward.
Eric quickly closes the distance between us and we fall into step silently, making our way toward my house. He sticks close to me and walks to my right so that he's closer to the street. When we get to the corner he puts his hand in front of me like a soccer mom that's just slammed on her breaks.
His protective instincts are through the roof and it isn't until we reach my block that he breaks the silence.
"Where are you from?" he asks.
"Louisiana. We moved here when I was nine. Are you from Chicago?" His accent gives away nothing.
"No, I'm not," he says, but doesn't volunteer any information about his past.
"How long have you been here?"
"I moved here when I was fifteen. Before that I was in the foster care system," he says. "My parents died when I was seven."
I stop walking and look up at him. There's that distant, absent expression on his face that I've come to think of as his default look.
"I'm so sorry, Eric. That's awful."
"It was a long time ago," he says nonchalantly.
"It's still awful. My mom left when I was two, but that's nothing in comparison to losing both of your parents forever."
"I don't really remember them all that much," he admits. "I wish I could remember more."
"Do you have any siblings?"
"I have a brother. One I'm going to kill for not picking me up tonight. Not that I'm not enjoying this walk with you."
"I wouldn't blame you if you're afraid of me."
"Why would I be afraid of you?"
"I don't know. I get the feeling most people are."
"No, I don't think they're afraid of you. I think people just aren't sure of what to do with you. I think your silence throws them off," I explain. "Can I ask why you like talking to me?"
Eric stops walking so I do too. He looks at me and says, "Because you're the only person I know who never took the silence personally."
I look closely at Eric and there's sadness in his eyes. I can't stop myself from hugging him, and again he hesitates to hug me back. The little bit I've learned about him tells me that he's probably lived a pretty lonely life, and my heart breaks for him.
When we pull apart I reach for his hand and hold it the rest of the way to my house. We walk up the steps together and I pull my keys from my pocket.
"Do you work tomorrow?" I ask him.
"The night shift."
"Me too. Then I guess I'll see you tomorrow night?"
"Yes, you will."
Eric turns to go but I say, "I'd really like to keep talking to you, Eric. I still have questions, but I'd like for us to be friends."
"I can do that."
"Good." I smile and push up to kiss his cheek, but he turns his head so I get his lips instead.
I don't know if it was on purpose, and I don't care. I let myself melt into the kiss and it's even better than the first one. When we part again he's smiling at me. I smile back and then go into the house. I race upstairs and look out my bedroom window to see Eric standing on the lawn. It's only when I wave that he finally turns to go home.

Steve M. on 03/15/2016
Steve said it was very good work and Jamie did a great job for him. He had the vehicle back for 10 days, and everything is fine. If it keeps up, he would be very satisfied. The vehicle seems to be in perfect condition.

text: Photograph by Maurice Perron 1947 Geographical notes close Places are defined in terms of modern geography. Born: 07 October 1923; Montreal, Canada * Died: 12 March 2002; Canada * Nationality: Canadian Art Movement: Abstract Expressionism, Art Informel, Tachisme Painting School: Les Automatistes Genre: abstract Field: painting Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Riopelle Jean-Paul Riopelle was a painter and sculptor from Quebec, Canada. Born in Montreal, he studied under Paul-Émile Borduas in the 1940s and was a member of Les Automatistes movement. He was one of the signers of the Refus global manifesto. In 1949 he moved to Paris and continued his career as an artist, where he commercialized on his image as a "wild Canadian". In 1959 he began a relationship with the American painter Joan Mitchell. Living together throughout the 1960s, they kept separate homes and studios near Giverny, where Monet had lived. They influenced one another greatly, as much intellectually as artistically, but their relationship was a stormy one, fueled by alcohol. The relationship ended in 1979. His 1992 painting Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg is Riopelle's tribute to Mitchell, who died that year, and is regarded as a high point of his later work. Riopelle's style changed gradually from Surrealism to abstract expressionism/tachisme, in which he used myriad soft cubes of colour, applied as flat planes with a palette knife, on large canvases to create powerful atmospheres. In 1969 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada, and began to spend more time in Canada. He was specially recognized by UNESCO for his work. One of his largest compositions was originally intended for the Toronto airport, but is now in the Opéra Bastille in Paris. In 1988 he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec and was promoted to Grand Officer in 1994. In 2000 Riopelle was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame. In June, 2006 the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts organized a retrospective exhibition which was presented at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia and the Musee Cantini in Marseilles, France. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has a number of his works, spanning his entire career, in their permanent collection.

Hello everyone, now you will learn how to win all the League of Legends games.I'm BulbaGames, and i play on the BR Server, UHUUEHUEHUEHUEHUHEUEHUEHUEHU.
I am now using Full AP Runes, but that´s not the right rune page. You'll have to have some Magic Resist and Magic penetration.
Of course, The item order will be optional. You will have to pay attention to the enemie's itens. The last item i posted (Void Staff) can be replaced for antoher item, if the enemies team don't uses magic resist. You can choose more damage if you're killing everybody, or a defensive item if youre doing too much at the teamfight.
Skill Sequence
Foccusing Sinister Steel (W) will let you do damage to all enemies at one time, entering at the end of the teamfight, or entering first, getting out and entering again at the end, will be very effective. at the team fight, throw the dagger (Q) on the first enemy you see or at the lowest life champion you can throw, than shunpo (E) a champion positioned at the cent of the teamfight, use your "W" and start your ult (R), Only stop your ult when a low life champion starts to get out of the ult range, than you shunpo (E) him, use your W, and keep doing this 'till the pentakill.
Summoner Spells
You can use Exhaust in the ignite place, if the enemy have high movement speed, so your ult will be more effective, otherwise, if the enemy can flash away from the ult, you should put ignite.
Cons / Pros
1. There are a lot of champions that can stop katarina's ult (Ahri, Alistar, Amumu, Anivia, Annie, Ashe, Blitzcrank, Brand, Cassiopeia, Cho'gath, Darius, Diana, Draven, Fiddlesticks, Fizz, Galio, Garen, Gragas, Hecarim, Irelia, Jarvan IV, Jax, Jayce, Kassadin, Kennen, LeBlanc, Lee Sin, Leona, Malphitem Malzahar, Nautilus, Orianna, Pantheon, Poppy, Rammus, Renekton, Soraka, Sona, Skarner Singed, Shyvana, Shen, Riven, Talon, Taric, Tristana, Twisted Fate, Udyr, Vayne, Veigar, Volibear, Warwick, Wukong, Xerath, Xinzhao and Ziggs). (You can dodge this calculating the enemies skills cooldown, as soon as they use theirs abilities, jump and ult.
2.You'll have to wait your team to do some damage, so if you last hit the enemies to reset the cooldown.
3. There are no other cons...

What if Dead 'Downton Abbey' Characters Came Back as Zombies?
Lady Sybil and Matthew Crawley live! Well, sort of. The beloved Downton Abbey characters who bit the dust this season have returned — albeit in animated form in the new web short Downton Zombey.
Even the undead have manners in the parody, which also gives the Dowager Countess some of her best zingers yet. Conan and The Daily Show writer Rob Kutner's video imagines what would happen if zombies were the latest problem to hit the British manor (there's always someone trying to usher in modernity on our poor Edwardians). Reno 911! star Thomas Lenon voices Lord Grantham.
RELATED: About That Shocking 'Downton Abbey' Death…
Which of our favorite noble people would survive a zombie apocalypse? You can probably guess, but watch the two-minute short to find out for sure. And no, unfortunately this is not a Downton Abbey/Walking Dead mashup.

The News Agency of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
New Children's Book Hopes to Cause Animal Kindness Revolution
Madhava Smullen
for ISKCON News on July 28, 2012
The book's cover
A brand new children's illustrated story book, written by Kosa Ely (Kosarupa Dasi) and illustrated by Anna Johansson (Annapurna Dasi) hopes to inspire a 'gentle revolution' of vegetarianism amongst readers with its sacred tale of kindness to animals.
Author Kosa became a vegetarian herself at the young age of fourteen, and finds that children more easily embrace vegetarianism and animal protection if given the option.
"Working in the health and yoga fields for many years, I was frustrated at how hard it was to help adults understand how important vegetarianism is for their health and spiritual advancement," she says. "But children understand naturally—in fact, they often have to be tricked into eating meat."
So Kosa decided to try and reach people early on in life with her message by writing a children's book on kindness to animals.
Her new book, The Peaceable Forest, will be her second effort at delivering deep morals and values through an entertaining story.
When her own children were young, Kosa wished for more sacred and educational stories for them, and embarked on writing one herself. Her self-published 2001 book The Prince and the Polestar, which she also illustrated, retold the story of Prince Dhruva from the ancient Vedic text Srimad Bhagavatam. In it, Dhruva learns the value of spiritual fulfillment over acquiring material possessions.
The book was and continues to be hugely popular with children all over the world. During her travels Kosa has met children, from Ireland to New Zealand, who have grown up with The Prince and the Polestar and tell her how much it means to them.
A year after publishing this first book, Kosa decided upon the next story she would retell. This time, she wanted a vegetarian theme. So she chose the parable of Mrgari the Hunter, who is shown by the sage Narada how his actions affect other living beings. He then has a change of heart and begins to live in peace with the animals he once pursued.
"The story has great potency, having been originally told by Gaudiya Vaishnavism's founder Sri Chaitanya to the saint Sanatan Goswami," says Kosa, who has studied the Vaishnava tradition since she joined ISKCON in 1976 at the age of 16, and grew up on the stories of Christian saints prior to that. "Something awakens in both children and parents when they hear it—a higher understanding about compassion to animals and the existence of another spiritual dimension."
As she does with Dhruva in The Prince and the Polestar, Kosa opens her new book with a character—this time a sage—telling the story to the animals in the Peaceable Forest.
"Children really respond to and identify with animals," Kosa says. "Sometimes more than they do with the adult world around them."
As well as using this framing mechanism, the story makes itself more appealing by revealing that the sage telling the animals the story is Mrigari himself.
"Love and kindness are what influence people to change, not anger and self-righteousness," says Kosa. "The fact that he's telling his own story, rather than someone else telling you what or what not to do, brings with it a softness and compassion that wouldn't be there otherwise. There's nothing to get defensive about. It's a very gentle, loving way to help people make the transition to nonviolence."
Making The Peaceable Forest even more approachable is the particularly conscious way that Kosa writes for children of all backgrounds, rather than just Hindu or ISKCON kids. Fitting into the multicultural section at school and public libraries rather than the religious section, it's sure to have a broad audience.
Finally, the book's illustrations, in lively watercolor and ink, are the icing on the cake.
"It was extremely important to me that the artist was someone who really felt strongly about the story, and who really loved animals," Kosa says. "Annapurna, who dedicated herself to this project for a whole year, does both. She's one of my favorite artists, and has done a phenomenal job of conveying the animals' emotions, and making them look both realistic and approachable."
Parents and children will be intrigued to learn of an authentic touch—all the animals that appear in the illustrations are native to India, where the story took place hundreds of years ago in the sacred forest of Prayag.
These include Sloth bears, Langur monkeys, Blackbuck antelope, tigers, wild boars, deer, rabbits, chipmunks, tortoises, foxes, elephants, buffalo, and panthers. There are also Indian birds such as Sarus cranes, peacocks, Ring-neck Parrots, Blue-winged Malabhar Parakeets, Crimson Sunbirds, and Tailorbirds. Even the trees and flowers in the pictures are native to India: there's the Banyan tree, Magnolia tree, Date Palm tree and sacred Tulasi tree.
Charming and eye-opening, The Peaceable Forest has already drawn praise from Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield and the Pulitzer Prize nominated author of Diet for a New America, John Robbins—who wrote Kosa back with a glowing review within one hour of receiving the book.
But no one belives more in The Peaceable Forest's message of non-violence and kindness to animals than Kosa herself, who is hatching one of the most audacious marketing plans for a children's picture book ever.
Kosa is inspired by her mentor Jack Canfield and his co-author Mark Victor Hansen, who set a goal to sell one million copies of their inspiration Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Despite being rejected by 144 publishers, they stuck to their goal. Finally, they were accepted by the 145th publisher—and today, books in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series have sold over 500 million copies around the world.
"After doing Jack Canfield's seven-day Breakthrough to Success seminar last summer, I set a goal to sell ten million copies of The Peaceable Forest, although no one sets a goal like that for a children's book—a few thousand is considered lucky," Kosa says. "But there have been a few children's books that have reached those numbers."
To realize her goal, Kosa will be marketing her book, beautifully published by Mandala, to vegetarian restaurants, health food stores, museums, zoos, and of course book stores and libraries everywhere. She'll also be personally appearing at green and vegetarian festivals to sign books and display Annapurna's art.
Meanwhile, a new section of her website, Kosaely.com, called Animals Love Vegetarians, will cater to vegetarian kids, with handy resources, extra information about the animals in The Peaceable Forest, and a new line of children's t-shirts. Kosa has also already launched a Youtube video channel of the same name wherein people share their favorite animal stories and their reasons for being vegetarian.
"I'm anticipating that this book will stir a giant gentle revolution for many, many children to become vegetarian or vegan, and to help stop the exploitation of animals," says Kosa.
While the process of illustrating and publishing her books takes a long time, Kosa is building up the ammo in the meantime, currently working on no less than seven books. Her next offering, like her web campaign, will be called Animals Love Vegetarians, and will be followed by two more picture books based on stories from the Srimad-Bhagavatam.
As if she doesn't already have enough to do, Kosa is also helping to market another new children's book and several reprints published by Mandala, a company that seems intent on finally giving parents the flood of sacred and value-wealthy books they've been looking for.
All being released this fall are the new book Manu's Ark: India's Tale of the Great Flood by Emma V. Moore, and hardbound new editions of Kaliya: Serpent King by Joshua M. Greene, and Agha: The Eight Mile Monster by Karen Wilson-Timmons.

"I've never really done it at a regular season game, but going to Washington there for Game 2, I was not going to miss the opportunity to troll the Washington fans a little bit with my get-up," he said.
Maslakow, who drove to the game from Waterloo, Ont., with a few friends, explained he had no idea he had been caught on camera until a reporter from The Washington Post approached him for an interview.

Welcome to this read of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, where we examine the cogs that help make this book an enduring success. To catch up or review previous parts of this read and previous writing techniques Gabaldon employs, click here.
Chapter 6: Colum's Hall
Summary: Claire's first night at the castle, she joins Colum MacKenzie and his family for dinner. His young son is astounded that she forgets to say grace, and she recovers by asking the boy to say it for her. Beyond that, Claire finds the meal relatively manageable, even though they serve herring, a dish she's growing quite weary of eating. During the course of the meal, she inquires after Jamie, who has made no appearance. Colum and Dougal exchange an intriguing bit about the young Scot. It would seem that Jamie has not yet earned the trust of the MacKenzies.
Writer Comments: This scene is short. However, its brevity serves to highlight its main purpose, to reveal that Jamie isn't the solid pillar of the household that he might have first appeared. While Dougal seems to generally trust him, considering how he treated Jamie in their race back to MacKenzie lands, something more is going on, and it appears Jamie's future with the MacKenzies is somewhat in doubt. Because Gabaldon gives this piece of information framed in a scene that otherwise has little of immediate or obvious significance, we know it's important.
Summary: The next morning at Hall, where the MacKenzie dispenses justice, Claire is officially and publically offered the hospitality of Castle Leoch until her English relations can be apprised of here whereabouts and safe transport arranged. However, by saying her English relations rather than her French, keeps her under suspicion.
Afterward, a father presents his teenage daughter for punishment for loose behavior. The MacKenzie's executioner/punisher steps forward to beat her with his thick leather belt as her sentence. However, Jamie steps forward and offers to take her punishment for her. This causes quite a stir as only a man of her clan can do such a thing, and Jamie is not a MacKenzie. However, Colum allows it. But, as Jamie is a man, he's allowed to choose fists rather than a whipping. The executioner beats him artfully, causing plenty of pain without much real damage.
One finished, Jamie leaves the hall, and Claire chases after him. She helps him stanch his bleeding lip and asks why he did such a thing. Jamie explains that, as the girl was young, she would have been humiliated and had a hard time recovering from the incident. He, on the other hand, just has a couple of days of bruises to deal with. Mrs. Fitz arrives with her own medicines and explains to Claire the proper use of leaches and willow bark tea.
Writer Comments: Heroes naturally are required to do foolish, brave things. They defend the innocent, protect the weak, and generally make themselves stand out with acts of bravery, kindness, and courage. In this scene Gabaldon firmly establishes Jamie as a hero. And it's these heroic qualities that endear Jamie to readers' hearts.
Summary: The next day, Claire finds Mrs. Fitz in the kitchen and asks about Jamie, as she intends to check on his wound. Mrs. Fitz send a boy off to find him and leads Claire out to the herb garden. The boy returns with word that Jamie won't come because he feels fine, but Mrs. Fitz has her own plans to work around that. After Claire demonstrates a decent knowledge of the plants, Mrs. Fitz sets her to planting garlic and tending the plants until lunch. Then she gives Claire lunch for Jamie, for according to her reckoning, a young man like Jamie isn't likely to turn down food, even if he is avoiding doctoring.
Claire takes Jamie's lunch down and finds him in the middle of taming a mare. He gladly accepts the food and tells her about the time he ate grass during the winter because he had nothing else. She's horrified and fascinated. He finishes his story and his meal and is off to work again before Claire realizes she missed checking his wounds.
Writer Comments: This scene shows the second time Jamie almost says something and cuts himself off quickly before altering his words to make them more general. Clearly, there's more to him and his history than he's letting on. However, Claire hasn't seemed to realize this yet.
Concealing information from a point-of-view character while tipping off readers can be tricky. This is especially true when it comes to a narrative rendered in first person like Outlander. There are numerous tricks to tipping readers off while keeping the narrator ignorant, such as carefully or oddly worded description. However, here, Gabaldon employs perhaps the easiest. She uses dialogue. Jamie, the speaker, know what he's saying and what he's concealing. Because Claire hears his words just was the reader does, she and the reader can come to differing conclusions and observations. As a reader, I notice these two careful maneuverings in language. Claire doesn't have to notice for them to be there.
Thank you for joining me for this chapter of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. We'll resume this read next Monday. Until then, join me Friday for further forays into fiction, the speculative, and life.

For "no sun days" a.k.a those days where I go to work and come home in the dark, I've been applying the This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle - lovely, lovely stuff! What seems to be the less dewy cousin of the Origins Vitazing (both same price) is perfect for when you aren't fussed enough with a BB cream or tinted moisturiser but still want something. If it does look like there is the potential for my face to see some sun, I'll smooth on a light layer of my facial SPF of choice. As you can see, it's very sheer so not one single freckle is hidden - just the way I like it, but if I want more coverage, I opt for a dusting of my MAC powder foundation through the center of my face.
I follow this up with my Origins Plantscription Concealer (what else?!) and whirl a little of the Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder onto the hollows of my cheekbones - praise be the fake cheekbones! Next up I give the top half of my face a little more structure by targeting the brows. I'm still using my Rimmel Professional Pencil for the most part, but I picked up the Topshop Brow Pencil the other day and, although it's a little too warm for me (as are most browns annoyingly) it works when used on the inner corners where the hairs are less sparse. The brush on the end is also one of the best I've used as it really grabs everything!
To finish off, I popped Arena by MAC all over the eyelids and blended it out in the corner with a MAC 217 brush. I then applied my liquid eyeliner using the Collection Fast Stoke (my all time favourite), going for a very rounded shape, with a small but visible flick. A quick clamp of the Kevyn Aucoin eyelash curlers followed by the L'Oreal Teloscopic mascara and bobs your uncle - well not my uncle... but someones.

I lost my mother ten years ago. I gained a mother three years ago. How many people can say that?
My first mother, who I will call my "real" mother — no offense to my birth mother –raised me through infancy, kissed my boo-boos, dressed me up for school, taught me to play the piano and sewed killer Halloween costumes.
My second mother – my birth mother — gave birth to me when she was too young to keep me, but she thought about me every day, and wished that someday she could see me again.
My real mother allowed me the privilege of knowing her. She did not let many people know her. In fact, I was never supposed to talk about "What goes on in this house" with my friends. Nothing unusual went on in our house. She was just ultra-private.
My real mom was really fashionable. Although piano was her first and only love, she went to fashion high school in New York City, and she later focused her fashion energy on me. Some moms and daughters play tennis, some make cookies – we shopped. She didn't even wait for me to shop most of the time. She taught piano after school so her days were free, and I'd come home from school to find four sweaters in different sizes to try on. We'd keep the ones that fit and she'd return the rest.
I tried to talk to her about boys and social stuff, but the most I ever got from her was that, before you get married, you are supposed to put on "the act" with men – laughing at their jokes, acting coquettish. After you're married all bets are off. That kind of advice didn't work for my teen years or even beyond, but she told me what she knew.
I never knew if she was listening to me. Most of the time she wasn't. We'd be talking, and I'd be spilling my guts and crying my eyes out, and she'd reach over, brush the hair out of my face and say, "You need a haircut." The conversation would end right there, or worse, turn to making hair appointments and whatnot. Appearance was always more important than substance. When I published my first essay in my hometown paper, I called her to see what she thought. "That picture of you is beautiful!" she said of the modeling picture I'd sent in with the essay.
"Did you read it?" I asked.
"Such a gorgeous picture!" she said.
I cried.
My mom taught me how to be Greek. My father's Greek too, just not so much into the culture. My mom taught me how to speak Greek, dance Greek and eat Greek, although Greek cooking (mercifully) was left mostly to my Yiaya, who's a whole different mother story. My mother would drive me crazy, though, growing up in suburban New York. Whenever she didn't want anyone to overhear us in public (see "Never talk about what goes on in this house") she'd speak to me in Greek. Horrified that bystanders would think I was some kind of foreigner who didn't speak English, I'd always respond in English. I didn't learn much Greek that way.
She kept it up through adulthood. When I was moving into an apartment in Astoria, Queens (because that's what Greeks do), we were on the street moving stuff in from the truck and my mother started to say something in English. Fearing she'd be overheard, she switched to Greek. Thing was, she was more likely to be understood in Greek in Astoria than in English. I laughed my ass off. She was not amused.
That was my mom. She was a terrible cook, an expert seamstress, a lousy listener, a great piano teacher, a fashionable dresser, a shrewd shopper, and a good Greek who took herself too seriously.
Fifteen years ago, my mom started to show the signs of Alzheimer's disease. For thirteen years, she suffered – the first five, she still knew me and her surroundings, but the last eight, she was just trapped in a body that wouldn't let go. When it finally did, it really was a relief (see "The Last Lesson")
Six months after my real mother died, I got a letter from the agency that handled my adoption. They'd matched me with my birth mother. She and I hit it off immediately and she's become the adult mom I missed all those years. She's got advice about raising my kids, and support when I need it. She assures me that even though I work and I don't have the kids all the time, my job with them is still pretty darn hard. She sees me as an adult the way my real mother never did.
My birth mother and I are a lot alike – something I never saw with my real mother. We're partyers (which would explain the teen pregnancy) and we're very social, very much unlike my real mom. We love to cook and we love to eat. We jive in a way my real mother and I never did. For an adopted kid, it's amazing seeing the things that are hereditary. The first present my birth mother ever sent me was wrapped in leopard-print paper, which I later found out was one of her favorite things. I have more leopard-print clothes than I can mention. Maybe love of leopard print isn't hereditary, but isn't that kind of a weird coincidence?
My birth mother accepts me for who I am – she's even proud. My real mother encouraged my writing from the beginning but she would be mortified that I write about my family, and that I reveal so much about myself. My real mom stood behind my dad when he insisted I find a nice, safe job in insurance. I never did. That essay in the local paper led, in part, to a job, and that was the start of 16 years of writing professionally.
My birth mother and I have forged the relationship that, sadly, my real mother and I never would have. My birth mother let me get to know her, and she listens to me, and she wants to know me. My real mom let me in as much as she could, but it wasn't much and she couldn't listen enough to see who I really was. She had to endure things my birth mom never did – the drug years, the promiscuity, the suicide attempt, the manic episodes – and she did. She didn't always handle them well, but she stuck by me.
I missed the last eight years of her life. During that time, I got married for the second time, had my first child and moved across the country. My daughter never met her Yiaya. By the time she was born, we lived in Seattle and my mom was in New York, but proximity wouldn't have mattered. My mom didn't know who or where she was by the time my daughter was born and I was afraid seeing Yiaya would scare the little one, so I never introduced them.
I've had a son since then, and my kids see their new Yiaya several times a year now. My birth mother is a great Yiaya. She spoils them with gifts but takes no crap when it comes to behavior. I could learn a lot from her. And I will.
This Mothers' Day I'm really grateful. I'm grateful for the amazing privilege of having two mothers in my life. One was always there and one was a complete surprise but each made their unique contributions and I'm privileged to know both of them.
