Got more Questions?
Check out our FAQ here.
What People Are Saying About AmpleHarvest.org
What We Do
The AmpleHarvest.org Campaign is a national effort utilizing the Internet that enables 40+ million Americans who grow food in home gardens to easily donate their excess harvest to registered local food pantries spread across all 50 states.
Why We Do It
One out of six Americans needs food assistance, but can't get fresh produce from the local food pantry, while, millions of American homeowners grow more food in their backyard gardens than they can possibly use.
It Doesn't Have to Be This Way!
AmpleHarvest.org envisions an America where millions of gardeners eliminate malnutrition and hunger in their own community using only their backyard gardens.

Students entering Ursuline College's new Master of Business Administration (MBA) program can expect business with a twist.
Unlike traditional graduate business programs, which focus on teaching separate functional business processes from a historical perspective, Ursuline's MBA program features a targeted, integrated approach to learning that will better prepare its graduates to succeed in today's vastly changed business world, says Dr. Debra L. Fleming, executive director of business programs and lead professor in accounting and management for the MBA program.
Students will learn core business fundamentals while studying within a specific concentration, either ethical and entrepreneurial leadership; accounting and financial planning; health services management; or marketing and communications management. A Master of Management Program is available for students interested less in the nuts and bolts and more in the human side of business.
Ursuline built its program around these concentrations based on national, state and regional projections for future employment opportunities.
"Ninety percent of our graduates stay within Northeast Ohio," Fleming says. "Identifying these core concentrations will give our students the ability to develop the skill sets they need to be employable and find success."
Those skill sets were developed based on input from the college's graduate advisory board, composed of high-level executives from many Northeast Ohio companies. "We worked with the board to find out what skills and knowledge base they require when hiring employees or promoting to upper-level leadership positions," says Fleming. "As a result, our courses have been designed to include a strong emphasis on entrepreneurial leadership, teamwork, technology, globalization and ethics, which is key in today's business world. Ethical decision-making is intertwined through every course."
Bringing together that real-world knowledge with academic theory is a key difference for the program. Many on the advisory board serve as guest speakers or adjunct professors, and the college is developing social networking opportunities between the companies and students, which Fleming hopes will help open more doors for Ursuline graduates. "There is often a disconnect between the academic and corporate world. We needed to bridge that gap to better serve our students," she says.
For graduate student Florence Janosik, access to those corporate learning and networking opportunities is exciting.
"That experience is very important. It opens doors to new insights and allows you to view the world from the other side, no matter how small or large an organization is," she says. Currently a stay-at-home mother of two, Janosik plans to couple an MBA in Health Services Management with her previous experience in medical sales to launch a new career.
The MBA program, which was approved in December, is off to a quick start, with nearly 30 students registered for the spring semester. The program was designed to provide the convenience and flexibility needed by today's students. Web-based courses help reduce the amount of on-campus time - paramount for those who work full-time or have children at home. A fast-track program is available that allows students like Janosik to finish the program in 12 months.
Jewell Stewart, who is studying in the ethical and entrepreneurial leadership concentration, graduated with a bachelor's degree in management from Ursuline's Accelerated Program in 2007. She decided to pursue an MBA to help get her foot in the door of companies who sought candidates with master's degrees. After looking at other programs, she decided to return to Ursuline.
"Ursuline has smaller classes, a more accessible campus, kind staff and facilitators who go the extra mile to help the students."

Steelers look for inspiration as late-season slump drags on
Steelers/NFL Videos
Inside the Dallas Cowboys' jubilant locker room, Dez Bryant slapped hands with his teammates even after the ball of tape was stripped from his broken index finger.
Bryant wasn't feeling much pain moments after the Cowboys surged into a three-way tie in the NFC East with a 27-24 overtime victory over the Steelers before a crowd of nearly 96,000 at Cowboys Stadium.
"When you're a coach … and a guy has that determination, and shows that mental and physical toughness and passion for playing, it's contagious," Dallas coach Jason Garrett said.
Eventually, the painkillers won't mask Bryant's pain. Yet, his gutsy call to duty continues to resonate with a team that leaned on him for an inspirational lift amid the tragedy that claimed the life of teammate Jerry Brown.
"He certainly is playing with some risks, but he was inspirational out there to everybody involved in the organization," Dallas owner Jerry Jones said. "He wanted to give everything he had."
Unlike the Cowboys — once down on their luck after a 3-5 start — the bewildered Steelers are still searching for inspiration.
Or someone who can lift them from the doldrums of a five-game skid that has one shining moment: a stunning road conquest of the suddenly reeling Baltimore Ravens, whose abject failures in three woeful performances have served as a life raft to keep afloat the Steelers' dwindling postseason hopes.
The Steelers enter their rematch with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Heinz Field with their backs against the wall. Their confidence appears shaken by inconsistency one week, then indecision the next.
The Steelers have endured perhaps more than their share of injuries. However, they haven't been inspired by the return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger or safety Troy Polamalu or wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle). Incredibly, they were moved only minimally by the thousands of uproariously enthusiastic Steelers fans whose roars were more thunderous than the Cowboys' faithful.
Of course, there were puzzling moments of indecision this deep into the season. It kept the Steelers from countering the Cowboys' emotional and inspirational edge.
• On the Steelers' first possession, newly designated feature back Jonathan Dwyer couldn't have been inspired when forced to share the team's first three carries with Isaac Redman and Chris Rainey.
• Cornerback Curtis Brown had to figure he would start with Cortez Allen out, but rookie free agent Josh Victorian was given the job instead. He was schooled repeatedly by Miles Austin.
• Antonio Brown, with the game tied, 24-24, misjudged a punt that would have given the Steelers the ball near the 40. Dallas downed the ball at the 20 with 1:47 left in regulation.
Remarkably, the Steelers were in contention despite the swelling uncertainty that finally doomed them early in overtime when cornerback Brandon Carr intercepted Roethlisberger to deliver a decisive blow that put the Steelers in a must-win situation against the Bengals.
"Nobody is feeling sorry for us," Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton said.
If the Steelers can't inspire each other, then perhaps they can take comfort in the numbers that decisively favor them against their last two opponents. The Bengals have beaten them only twice in 11 games, and the Cleveland Browns haven't swept them in the regular season since 1988.

A different class of teaching
Publication Date : 09-01-2014
The revival and honouring of an ancient form of debate is bringing change to the classrooms
At 5:20 on a freezing December afternoon, 80 grade-two students gathered in the open air in front of a school building. They split into two groups: students on one side sat on the ground, while the others stood facing them. The groups then split up into small debating teams, with one student standing and a couple of their peers sitting on the ground.
When the standing student asked a series of questions, those sitting on the ground attempted to provide answers as concisely as possible.
As the debates continued, the students, who spoke rapidly in cadenced Tibetan, grew increasingly excited. The questioners raised themselves on one leg and took a step forward, clapping their hands to warn their audiences that it was time to provide answers. The antics made some of the students laugh and their faces glowed red, as if unaffected by the cold. At the end of the hour-long session, as the shadows lengthened and the air grew cooler, the students returned to their classrooms.
Welcome to the world of Hetuvidya, or Buddhist Logic.
Hetuvidya has been part of Tibetan Buddhism for about 1,000 years, and is regarded as a highly effective tool for logical analysis. However, the debating tradition, an essential element of the daily routine of Tibetan monks as they study Buddhist scriptures, has only in recent years attracted the attention of mainstream scholars. Now, a number of schools and universities in northeastern China are honouring the tradition of reasoned debate by emphasising its value as a cornerstone of philosophical enquiry.
Look, listen and learn
"Practical debates are part of the Hetuvidya study course. Every week, all grade one and two students have two Hetuvidya classes - one concerns theory and the other is a practical debate on everything they've learned or want to discuss," said Lubumkyab, vice-principal of No 1 Minzu High School in Hainan Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Qinghai province.
"We've been offering this course since 2005, when we were trying to identify the best way of carrying out the government's essential-qualities-oriented schooling policy," he said.
Does one plus one definitely equal two? Which is primary and which is secondary, matter or ideas? We all agree that the sun rises in the east, but what is "east"? While many philosophical schools have discussed these elementary, but difficult, questions, the discussion of abstract thought is not a common practice in Chinese high schools.
Because of the enormous pressure exerted by the gaokao (the national college entrance examination) which falls in June every year, high school students in China are encouraged to sit quietly, listen to their teachers and memorise philosophical concepts and theories, such as Marx's ideas on historical materialism. Debate is rarely seen as part of the process.
There are exceptions to every rule, however, and No 1 Minzu High School is one of them. Half of the students are taught in Tibetan, the other half in Mandarin Chinese. However, no matter which language is used, Hetuvidya courses are mainly restricted to grade one and two students.
The gaokao is the top priority for grade-three students, and so only the best debaters will be allowed to continue the course after grade two.
Originating in ancient India, Hetuvidya is based on providing reasons and demonstrating points of view. The theory was introduced in China's inland regions, and later disseminated across the areas populated by Tibetan speakers, between the 4th and 12th centuries. Gradually, two schools of thought developed, Han Chinese Hetuvidya and Tibetan Hetuvidya.
Debate is one of the most important ways for Tibetan Buddhist monks to think about the world - to determine right from wrong, and truth from falsehood. They engage in debate during their daily studies and every year four conferences, each lasting about a month, are held and Buddhist scriptures are debated.
The authorities at No 1 Minzu High School adopted the approach as a means of encouraging the students to think for themselves. "Previously, the students played a passive role in class and just listened to what the teachers told them. We believe essential-qualities-oriented schooling means teachers can guide their students to become more involved in the classes," said Lubumkyab.
After examining several ways of implementing the government's policy, the school authorities realised that in monasteries in the Tibet autonomous region, masters spend very little time explaining the theories of Hetuvidya to their charges, instead they allow them to debate the topics thoroughly. The debates help the students to better understand their lessons and to memorise them quickly and effectively.
"As a result, we wondered if it would be possible to employ this teaching method at our school. So, we introduced the Hetuvidya course and,
after about a year, we found that the students had become very active in class," said Lubumkyab. "We now need more Hetuvidya teachers."
Methods of debate
Sonam Yeshi is one of two Hetuvidya teachers at the school. Since age 17, he has spent his spare time visiting monasteries and studying the subject.
"My major is actually Tibetan, but I am very interested in Hetuvidya," said the 46-year-old, who used to teach Tibetan, but now teaches all 14 grade-two Hetuvidya classes.
The textbook the students use was compiled at Labrang Monastery in the northwestern province of Gansu. Founded in 1709, Labrang is one of the six great monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and home to the largest number of monks outside Tibet.
"Although the textbook was originally compiled for monks, it's not hard to understand. It teaches Hetuvidya theory, mainly the debating methods," said Sonam Yeshi. "I teach the students the methods of debate, and they can use them to examine any subject, from Chinese to math or physics."
Chenwang Ngakrig is a 17-year-old grade-two student at the school. He has been studying Hetuvidya for a little more than a year.
"I used to find it very difficult to memorise lessons in mathematics or chemistry because I didn't understand the underlying concepts. I'm not a top student, but I've made good progress in my studies because the debating methods used in Hetuvidya enable me to analyse questions in a very clear and easy way. Through analysis and debate it's very easy to memorise my studies, because I know the mechanisms that underpin them," he said.
"I applied the methods when I was learning about redox reactions and trying to understand why one minus one equals zero," he said.
In addition to a conference at which students compete in reciting Hetuvidya theories, every May the school hosts a debate in which the students are the main participants. About 150 students take part in the debates, which feature both individuals and teams selected by class or grade.
Contestants are required to wear traditional costume and, as a result, the conference looks like a festival, especially as parents, relatives and students' friends from other schools are welcome.
Increased confidence
Hetuvidya experts and scholars from college and monasteries are invited to judge the contests. Professor Tashi Dawa, from Qinghai University for Nationalities, frequently attends the conferences. "This approach can train students to think logically. It is a traditional method of study for Tibetan people," he said.
"I have visited many different high schools, but only No 1 Minzu High School offers the Hetuvidya course. In other schools, I have found that the students are very shy in class and only a few dare to ask questions. By comparison, the students at No 1 Minzu High School are very active - they ask questions and then discuss them. Therefore, it seems that this method of study can also improve the students' confidence and their communication skills," said Tashi Dawa.
"There is not a great difference between these debates and those in contests such as the International Varsity Debate, but we have a debating formula, a specific pattern. The debate, which contains three parts, has a special pace. It resembles Aristotle's Syllogism in formal logic ("All men are mortal. Hercules is a man. Therefore Hercules is mortal."), but our method is mainly one of refutation," he said.
The professor explained that during a debate, the person standing is supposed to refute the views of the person sitting on the ground, trying to find any flaws in the argument. After a short training period, the students are usually quick to spot anomalies, especially in respect to questions of logic.
In 2011, Qinghai University for Nationalities took the unusual step of introducing a debating course based on Hetuvidya. Studies at universities for nationalities, those usually attended by members of ethnic groups, usually include the Hetuvidya course, but not the debating classes.
Chinese Buddhism also includes Hetuvidya studies, but has no tradition of debate.
"Introducing the Hetuvidya course in the teaching of traditional Tibetan culture and history is not only a good way to train students to think logically, but it's also an effective way of honouring our traditions," said Tashi Dawa.

Access to public areas
The SPCA is extremely concerned to see that signs not allowing the walking of dogs are being put up at many public gardens in Valletta and other parts of the island. We feel strongly that responsible dog owners should be allowed access to all public parks as long as their dogs are secured on a leash and that they clear up any mess left by their pets. Naturally, owners who disregard these rules should be fined in accordance with the law and we do not condone irresponsible behaviour in any way.
Can we please ask the necessary authorities to review this situation and give back the public areas to those who wish to enjoy them with their dogs in a responsible manner?

COVINGTON - Already the Newton County School System is seeing an increase in enrollment since the end of last school year, although it is not yet as high as predicted.According to a Day 5 enrollment count, 19,226 students are enrolled in Newton County's public school system, which includes 14 elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools and three other speciality schools. At the end of the 2008-09 school year, 19,091 students were enrolled, up from the 18,813 who were enrolled on the first day of the school year, but below the projected 19,452. This school year, officials projected that 19,942 students would enroll in NCSS. And that's possible, although NCSS Superintendent Steven Whatley said there is a lot of movement both in and out of the schools. "New students are still coming in, so we'll see enrollment numbers change and probably not stabilize until after Labor Day," said Dr. Linda Hayden, associate superintendent for curriculum and instruction at NCSS. So far, 9,545 students are enrolled in the elementary schools. The highest enrollment is 960 at the new Live Oak Elementary School. School officials projected 9,625 elementary students would enroll this year, in comparison to the 9,684 enrolled at the end of last school year. In the middle schools, 4,317 students were enrolled as of Day 5 of the 2009-10 school year. Nearly 4,500 are projected for this school year, although 4,295 were enrolled on the last day of the last school year. The high schools have 5,162 students enrolled in three facilities. The number is under the 5,357 projected and more than the 4,777 seen on the last day of school during the 2008-09 school year. Also on Day 5, Sharp Learning Center saw 87 students, less than the projected 175 and down from the year-end 213. Mainstay Academy had 23 students enrolled, up from the projected enrollment and year-end totals of 13. Challenge Charter Academy enrolled 92 students, down from the year-end 109 but up from the projected 75. Dennis Carpenter, deputy superintendent for operations at NCSS, said schools are monitoring daily their student enrollment and staff to make sure they comply with class size rules and determine if they need additional staff members. "We are monitoring all class sizes and will continue to make determinations on necessary adjustments," he said in a report to the Newton County Board of Education Tuesday. "In an effort to be fiscally responsible, we are working diligently to keep any costs of additional personnel to a minimum, thus necessitating the transfers of teachers as state class size guidelines will allow." By Michelle Floyd Staff Reporter COVINGTON - At least 64 more students in the Newton County School System will transfer from their assigned school to another Newton County public school of their choice as a result of the federal No Child Left Behind Public School Choice program. This is in addition to the 491 who previously transferred. As of Monday, the Newton County School System approved 41 students to transfer from Liberty Middle School to either Clements Theme School or Cousins Middle School and 23 students to transfer from Middle Ridge Elementary School to East Newton or Heard-Mixon elementary schools, according to Dr. Linda Hayden, associate superintendent for curriculum and instruction at NCSS. The deadline to apply for school choice was July 29. These students are in addition to the 491 students who transferred from Middle Ridge Elementary School and Clements Middle School, which now is Liberty Middle School, last school year as a result of the school choice option. Those students also may attend Indian Creek or Veterans Memorial middle schools and Livingston and Ficquett elementary schools. Schools that do not meet Adequate Yearly Progress in the same categories for two consecutive school years must offer a school choice; and until the school meets AYP for two years, they must offer a school choice. Unlike in the past, NCSS is not providing bus transportation for the choice students this school year. Instead, parents must complete a form for reimbursement at a state-approved rate for mileage to and from the choice school, as allowed under NCLB. The amount of payment is determined by the student's attendance. Earlier this year, NCSS approved three students to transfer to another school of their choice under House Bill 251, or the Quality Basic Education Act.

3 February 2009
John Holmes, the United Nations Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, today launched the Humanitarian Action Plan to help vulnerable people in Afghanistan in 2009. Following the launch, he briefed journalists at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. He was accompanied by Nesar Popal, Advisor to the Presidency of Afghanistan, and Bo Asplund, Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator. [...] Answering a question on whether the explosion of a bridge in the Khyber Pass would affect humanitarian routes and the expanded assistance plans, Mr. Holmes said insecurity was a huge problem, especially for the population, but for humanitarian organizations it was a problem in terms of access of delivery. There were large areas that were extremely difficult to access, in particular for international United Nations staff and NGOs, due to the security situation. NGOs in particular had suffered grievously from insecurity in 2008 - 28 NGO workers were killed, and 72 had been abducted. United Nations agencies had suffered less, but had nevertheless had workers killed, wounded and abducted. Operations within the country continued. The World Food Programme was still able to move food around the country, and had done an amazing job in pre-positioning food supplies before the winter made moving food difficult.
2 February 2009
Prompt distribution of food aid, improved coordination among aid agencies and a relatively mild winter have prevented mass displacements in the drought-stricken northern provinces of Afghanistan, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said. "This year there was, in general, much better coordination between relevant government bodies and UN agencies, particularly with WFP [UN World Food Programme] as a key player. The other factor that really matters is that people in the areas most affected by drought are not facing such a harsh winter as last year," Dusan Vukotic, an ICRC official in Kabul, told IRIN.
22 January 2009
[...] Let me suggest a truly audacious hope for your administration [Mr. President]: How about a five-year time-out on war -- unless, of course, there is a genuine threat to the nation? During that interval, we could work with the U.N. World Food Program, plus the overseas arms of the churches, synagogues, mosques and other volunteer agencies to provide a nutritious lunch every day for every school-age child in Afghanistan and other poor countries.

Listen to Boonaa's poem, "Wake Up":
As`salaatu khayrun min naum
As`salaatu khayrun min naum
But most of you are asleep and you don't even know
Too busy being deceived, making this dunya your home
In the heart there is a disease, like a cancer for your soul
And you can't be free until you learn to let go
For those who know are not like those who don't know
Cause those who know be ready to show those how they roll
Cause if you think you exist just to become bones.
Than really you must think you ain't thinking at all
You in the danger zone, not a day you ain't prone
To bring thrown off your throne like Haman and Fir'aun
There's a war going on outside no one is safe from
Cause verily, your enemy is the shaytan
So take arms, and sound the alarm
Cause the devil been on your level since the day you were born.
Little girls being taught to drop it like it`s hot
Cause they need a hot boy who`s got a fat watch
Ready to make it pop for every hustler on the block
Who`s got a drop top, Oh please make it stop
My sisters wake up and take off that make up
You don't need that cover up, you need to cover up
Cause if you love Allah, than you should love his law
And if he don't love Allah, his love will always be flawed
A boy can't be your friend like dogs can't be men
So tell him take his tail to the nearest fire hydrant
The best thing in this world aint diamonds and pearls
The best thing is this world is a righteous girl
The way that she dress, looks like an Empress
Impressing Allah, oppressing your nafs
To wear that Hijab is a Jihad on its own
May He grant you gardens under which rivers flow
Cause you already know the recipe for achievers
Aisha, Khadija, Hafsa, Safiyah
May Allah be pleased, cause my mother's where believers
Daughters and Preachers, Sisters and Teachers
No need for Divas, we need Queens of Sheba's
Women who will stand up for this Ummah and be leaders
Ready to begin the next generation
They say boys will be boys but we're running out of men.
Ours are running out to sin, chasing different women
He don't wanna give her a ring, he just wanna give her a ring
He aint looking for a wifey, he's looking for a ting
So he treat her like a DJ and take her for a spin
He don't know who he is, so he don't have any hope
It's a shame, we`re so ashamed that Muhammed became Moe
All that's left are cowards enclosed in egos
And superheroes that star in music videos
Where the coolest dude you know is aspiring to be on death row
Guns and clothes, blunts to roll
This is suicide live, and you're standing in the front row.
But don't fear those made from flesh and bones
Fear the One that will bring you back from sticks and stones
Bricks of gold aint worth your soul
His tricks are old, Iblis was told
To make sujood, but he refused
But we refuse, to make sujood
Real men are few, like Musa and Harun
Suliaman, Dawud, Ishaq, Yacoub
If you only knew, real men make real moves
Real recognize real so really who are you?
My brother you're confused, wake up, hit the snooze.
This dunya is a dream, don't let it consume you
I refuse to be boxed and sell rocks away
Who cares about my block, hommie we all came from clay
But I think it's safe to say, that one day we'll pass away
But I'm trying kick it' with the prophets and all of the righteous slaves
And I'll turn to you and say, aren't you glad that we obeyed
Man, we almost went astray, but Allah forgives and he forgave
Look at all we overcame, struggling just for his sake
Truly we have all been saved, Jannah is calling your name.
As`salaatu khayrun min naum
As`salaatu khayrun min naum
Jannah is calling your name, so wake up and come home.

authors of The Last Maasai Warriors: an Autobiography

HS Assembly - Eurythmy Room
SF Waldorf High School
*Parents are welcome to attend. Please RSVP to Lisa Anderson at 415-213-6111 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Book signing to follow program.
Wilson Meikuaya and Jackson Ntirkana are a living testament to a vanishing way of life on the African savannah. As brave warriors of the Maasai, an intensely proud culture steeped in the mystique of tradition, legend and prophecy, they represent the final generation to literally fight for their way of life, coming of age by proving their bravery in the slaying of a lion. They are the last of the great warriors.
Yet, as the first generation to fully embrace the modern ways and teachings of Western civilization, the two warriors have adapted—at times seamlessly, at times with unimaginable difficulty—in order to help their people.
At this watershed moment in their history, the warriors carry the weight of their forefathers while embracing contemporary culture and technology. While their struggle to achieve this balance unfolds, their discoveries resonate well beyond the Maasai Mara.
Jackson Ntirkana was born in the Narok South District of Kenya into a family of nine sisters and 12 brothers. A passionate naturalist, Jackson emerged from his warrior upbringing into the modern world, studying botany and guiding in university. , Jackson is a very proud farmer. He lives in the Maasai Mara, Kenya.
Wilson Meikuaya was born in Maji Moto, in the Narok South District of Kenya. He made the leap from a traditional Maasai upbringing into a contemporary life by combining his love for the outdoors and his passion for education by studying wildlife and botany in university. He lives in the Maasai Mara, Kenya.

I am 11 weeks, extremely exhausted with very tender breasts and feeling very blessed that I'm not sick but I am showing like crazy for how far along I am. I've read that 4 months is usually when you start showing with your first... but that is not the case for me. I've been showing since I was approximatly 6-7 weeks along. I also have twins on both sides of my family, but haven't had a ultrasound to clarify that there is just one baby in there. My doc says my uterus is of normal size and that I'm showing this early because of being tiny with no place to hide it. Maybe that is the case for some of you as well.posted 10/19/2007 by mammbefarmin08

Tribeca Film Festival: 'Patang' ('The Kite')
A patang, which is Hindi for a "kite," figures large in the theme of Prashant Bhargava's film "Patang" ("The Kite), which will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday night. WNYC's Abbie Fentress Swanson sat down with the 38-year-old Prospect Heights, Brooklyn filmmaker to talk about happiness, family and India's largest kite festival, the Uttarayan, in Ahmedabad.
Abbie Fentress Swanson: How did you come to filmmaking?
Prashant Bhargava: When I was growing up, I used to do a lot of graffiti and I also used to love computers. Just mixing the two, I started doing a lot of graphic design coming out of college. From there, I got into motion design and directing commercials. It was just a calling. Some things happen in your life sometimes. Film is not a choice, it's just a way of communicating with the world. It's not something I reflect on, it's just something I wake up knowing I'm going to do in some way. I think that my turning point as a filmmaker came when I went to The Actors Studio. All of the work got connected to the words themselves and to the story and the conflict. And that is where the directing emerged—whether you were working with an actor or a cinematographer. I think that was the transformative moment for me—from moving to short-form, visually-dazzling commercials to something that is telling a story.
AFS: How did you come up with the idea for "Patang"?
PB: I saw my uncles flying when I was a kid on my mom's and my dad's side. They just looked up at the sky with such joy and it was like a pure meditation in a way. All their thoughts and doubts were forgotten. I remember just seeing the Uttarayan festival on a smaller scale in my dad's hometown. It doesn't matter who you were—if you were young or old, Hindu or Muslim. When you had a kite in your hand, it was just this pure joy. It was this simple way as a metaphor to bring together family drama.
AFS: Why did you choose to set the film in Ahmedabad?
PB: I chose Ahmedabad largely because of how they celebrate the festival. I was told that if I wanted to do something based on kites, you have to visit Ahmedabad. When I went there, it was a breathtaking spectacle. Everyone is on their rooftops—speakers blasting and dancing. I had not seen anything like it. That is why I chose to set the film there. Through years of research, that is when I found that I wanted to tell the story of the resilience of the community. I didn't want to focus on the tragedy. People of Ahmedabad treat tragedy very different from other places in the world. In New York, we've had 9/11 and there is so much discussion and looking back and helping each other with the grief. In Ahmedabad, people don't mention it. It's a different way of moving forward. That is something that I had to address in the film.
AFS: How did you do your casting for "Patang"?
PB: We spent three years researching the film. I'd go there [Ahmedabad], live in the community, come back and write. We shot about 100 hours of footage during that period. Through that, I found out the way I wanted to work with my actors. It was a really community-based film. We shot in traffic, in a store when things were happening with a mix of actors and non-actors. With the kids, it was really a great process. We worked with twelve kids and did a two-month workshop with them teaching them discipline, techniques and helping them get comfortable with each other. In every scene, everyone was experiencing what was really happening. For example, Bobby was a local actor at a university who had never acted before. He was an amazing kite flier but he had this naiveness to him. When we did the film he had never kissed a girl before. So, the first scene we did—that was his first kiss.
AFS: What do you think a New York audience will take away from seeing this film?
PB: I think they will be happier with their own lives. There is a line by the actress, "If you think we hold onto our past with sadness, then you're wrong. We hold onto our happiness, our little, little happiness." I think that really summarizes what the essence of the film is and how it celebrates family and how the celebration of the festival heals these fractured relationships. I think it's a film that requires your emotional participation...by experiencing the film you'll walk away with a little more brightness in your life.
"Patang" will be screened on Thursday, April 21 at 8:30 P.M. at the Clearview Cinemas Chelsea 4. It will also be screened on April 24, 25, 29 and 30.

Tasmanian Devils are suffering from a strange form of cancer, one that is infectious, i.e., it can be transmitted from one animal to another through contact.
The disease is devastating the population of this already endangered species and if some cure is not found quickly, the species will go extinct. Thus, the research and conversation work is needed in these six areas:
1. Investigating the tumour and its chromosomes, looking for clues to resistance
2.Keeping some area or areas of Tasmania free from the disease i.e. wild management
3.Maintaining backup captive populations of devils in Tasmania as 'insurance'
4.Developing a diagnostic test for the disease
5.Developing a vaccine against the disease
6.Monitoring changes in populations affected by the disease
There is, however, not sufficient funding for all of this. But, we can all help – you can now donate funds to the University of Tasmania research and conservation effort and help save Taz from extinction.

I would love to leave BC. I was born here but there is nothing left for me. Unfortunately, although I have a job, I don't have any income to try to move otherwise I would in a heartbeat. Currently working on not being homeless so that's got its own struggles. I am grateful for the shelters I can get into if they have room. It's weird, I never thought I would be in the condition I am in. But here I am. And I guess that's okay too. Hugs.View Thread
The Pdocs here are very weird specifically in British Columbia, Canada, you have to be referred to them, you can't refer yourself and here's a kicker, my own family physician of 8 years suddenly decided that he was upset with me because I went to a walk-in clinic for a tooth abscess on a Sunday (his office wasn't even opened) and for that, he says "your the type of patient who irritates doctors and I won't treat you for anything you saw that other doctor for". He said I should find another doctor, which in my country, province and city, there aren't any. You get punished from going to walk in clinics. Even if you do it once. He advised me to find another doctor. I find this strange that he tossed me as a patient right after I was diagnosed with the Bipolar Disorder.
In Briitsh Columbia it's near impossible to find a regular Dr. There's a list and one of the DR's who is taking patients has a "condition" on his license, I looked him up - he was convicted of sexual misconduct against female patents. So def. not going to go to him.
The pdoc here and my case worker only do 2 things . they give me RX's for the meds and they refer me to websites to read about B1. The case worker only gives me some telephone numbers or addresses for food bank etc, other than that, they do nothing else.
Here there is no counseling unless you can afford it $175 per hour and up. People say "go join a group" but I am not able to open up in front of strangers, I tried group therapy and had to leave because it enraged me so much, I didn't want to hear about other peoples problems, I have to do that for work all day long, I am not the type of person who has the luxury of being able to open up to strangers face-to-face.
Anyways, that's enough of that!View Thread
So, I took pictures of my hair/scalp and after 2 months brought them into him, and both him and my Case Worker agreed I was indeed loosing alot of hair. He took me off the Lamotragine. Here's the kicker, my hair is still falling out and in addition I am losing hair other places where it would normally grow ie underarms/legs etc. There is absolutely no growth just baldness. You can also see visible huge patches of no hair on my scalp.
I also have lost my memory to a very disturbing point. I can't remember what happens 3 hours earlier in a day. I'm trying so hard to work and my job has a ton of pressure attached to it. I'm scared, I can't even recall how I get to work or get home. I had to stop driving because I feel as though I am not paying attention. i feel always drunk-like or stoned state. My levels in the blood are within norms so I'm not seeing that I am toxic per say.
Lastly, I have an intense amount of rage inside me. This is not normal for me at all, I've never, ever felt like this. I get enraged at small things, like the sound of someone eating with their mouth open, it used to be tolerable although annoying, but now well I just explode with anger. It seems related to noises mostly and I feel like I'm overreacting but can't help it.
What is happening to me!!!???? I've never been sick, I eat way way super healthy, drink extreme amounts of water, take supplements. I should say that I am no spring chicken but this seems to be catapulting me into an age of complete digression.
Any thoughts? And PS Thanks for listening, I haven't had anyone to confide in.View Thread

It wouldn't be Comic-Con unless someone got run over by a car. Normally, it's just Twilight fans, or some guy dressed in a goofy costume, but it stings a little more when you learn it's a 64 year-0ld woman. Fortunately, her injuries are not being reported as life-threatening, and the common thought is that she may have a broken arm.
And yes, she was participating in the ZombieWalk, in which people dress up like zombies and…walk.
She was hit by a 48 year-old deaf man driving with his deaf family, who were apparently very scared by the sudden presence of hundreds of zombies (JESUS), and his children's reaction may have led to the crash. Ugh. It gets worse.
According to reports, the kids were freaking out by the presence of zombies, so despite the fact that the driver had to stay put to allow the throng of zombies to pass, he started to inch forward to get his kids out of there. The mob turned against him, punching windows and jumping on his hood (DOUBLE JESUS). No charges have been filed against the poor dad. Poor kids. Poor lady. Poor everyone.

Which Jigsaw is the Best? 6 Versatile Saws Face Off
Buying a home means investing in the future. But the house you're in today won't be entirely compatible with your needs tomorrow. Rising costs—and, in some cases, dwindling availability—of energy and water are changing how our dwellings function. Meanwhile, social trends dictate not only how we build homes, but also how we live in them. The industry is responding by developing construction methods and materials that outperform anything used in the past, while automated systems help homeowners do more with less. That may sound like we're on the road to domestic austerity, but, well, we're not. "We don't have to choose between being responsible and keeping our quality of life," homebuilder Ron Jones, of Placitas, N.M., says. "We can have both." Here, PopMech explores emergent systems and anticipates how they'll shape the house of tomorrow. Are you ready?
Smart homes monitor their own efficiency—and also make life easier and safer.
In smart homes a single device—often a smartphone—controls lights, appliances, heating, irrigation, and even door locks to better suit the home's function at a given time. Smart thermostats, such as the Nest, study how you live and make adjustments to fit. The more sophisticated the automation, the more efficient and comfortable a home can be.
The home will be equipped with a central nervous system that will sense and analyze all appliances and systems, making adjustments when needed. It will send us messages to tell us we're out of milk and even order it for us. Biometrics will replace the key: We'll unlock doors via a handle that validates our thumbprint before activating the circuit.

I love dogs, so when a client requested dog cupcakes I was so excited! I have 2 dogs, Ninja and Tiny (who also love to eat cupcakes). This was the first time I had made dog cupcakes so to start, I drew some designs in my drawing book, which always helps when planning new designs.
Please refer to my cupcake recipe section for detailed baking and ganaching steps and recipes.
For this design, I used:
- Pre-coloured black fondant
- White fondant
- Red fondant
- Circle cutters
- Brushes
- Syrup
- Rose dust
- Black writing gel
- Decorating tools
Decorating Method:
1. Ganache the cupcake and allow it to set in the fridge
2. Hot knife the surface to make it smooth.
3. Roll out the white fondant to about 3mm in thickness.
4. Use a circle cutter the same size as the cupcake surface and cut out a circle.
5. Paste it onto the cupcake using syrup and ensure that it's smooth.
6. Roll the black fondant to about 3mm and cut a out a small circle using a smaller circle cutter. Cut this circle in half and attach these as ears to the cupcake using syrup.
7. Knead a small amount of black fondant and white fondant together to make the colour grey.
8. Roll out the grey colour thinly then cut a small circle to create the eye patch and attach it with syrup.
9. Roll a small oval ball with black fondant and attach as the nose with syrup.
10. Using a small brush, create rosy cheeks with the rose petal dust.
11. Using the balling tool indent 2 eyes and fill with the black writing gel.
12. Use the decorating tool to make the mouth indentations.
Now you can stop here or you can do what I did in the top picture and add in a tongue by rolling a small ball of red fondant into a tongue shape and attaching it using syrup.
And there you have it.. A DOG CUPCAKE! So cute hey? Almost too cute to eat!

An argument between neighbors ended with Kristy Jo Meikle reportedly striking her Idaho Falls neighbor with a metal pipe.
Idaho Falls police officers arrested Meikle, 40, for aggravated assault Sunday.
The incident began around 4:30 p.m. on the 600 block of North Fanning Avenue. Meikle reportedly was yelling at the children of her neighbor, Marisa McWaid.
McWaid, 34, went outside and Meikle began yelling at her, police spokeswoman Joelyn Hansen said. McWaid's sister, Heather McWaid, 37, then went outside to intervene.
At that point, Meikle reportedly picked up a metal pipe and began hitting Heather McWaid, Hansen said.
Meikle remained in custody Monday at the Bonneville County Jail, where she was held without bond.
Aggravated assault is punishable by up to five years in prison.

Teacher's passion inspires kids to be Dutch oven cooks
Murray • The big annual event at Riverview Junior High isn't a dance or a sporting event: It's the Ninth Grade Dutch Oven Cook-off.
Riverview teacher Janet Wayman started the contest 21 years ago, and it's gained momentum ever since.
Each year, more than half of the school's ninth-graders participate in Wayman's competition. Many students begin looking forward it in elementary school after watching older siblings toil over the blackened, tight-lidded pots, trying to master intricate dishes in preparation for the event.
"It's a tradition," said assistant principal Jim Bouwman. "It's a place where all kids can be successful and have a lot of fun."
The Utah Education Association (UEA) honored Wayman recently with an Excellence in Teaching Award, given to teachers who make a significant impact on a student or group of students.
"I was really floored. I just thought 'wow,' " she said. "I love teaching, and I love working with kids. I just thought, 'OK, maybe I'm going in the right direction.' "
Wayman was one of 10 teachers in Utah to win the award.
"It's one way for us to recognize all the creative teaching that goes on in classrooms throughout the state," said Michael Kelley, spokesman for UEA. "We wish we could provide a reward for every teacher, but this is one small way to recognize teachers that have such a great impact in our classrooms."
Wayman, who teaches family and consumer science, received $1,000.
"I wasn't really surprised because she's an excellent teacher," said ninth-grader Kendra Koester. "She has a lot of patience with her students, and she explains things really well."
Added fellow ninth-grader Camille Walker of the 29-year teaching veteran, "She's funny, and she's not intimidating and scary like most teachers."
The cook-off is open only to ninth-graders so students know they have only one shot at the coveted title. Twins Brittany and Heather Chesley are already preparing for the spring contest. Brittany plans to make shredded-chicken hamburgers while Heather hopes to outdo her sibling with a garlic-chicken dish.
Students learn from the best when working with Wayman. She has won both the national and world championship in Dutch oven cooking. She recently recorded a DVD, "Dutch Oven Cooking with Janet Wayman," which will be available for purchase at the Self Reliance Expo at the South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy on Friday and Saturday.
One of Wayman's favorite things about the cook-off is watching students excel, especially those unaccustomed to the spotlight.
"I've seen kids win the competition that aren't really interested in school," she said. "They're not on an athletic team, but they do amazingly well. It's fun to see some of those kids that are just kind of quiet get recognized."

'Where Wild Things Are' author Maurice Sendak dies
FILE – In this Sept. 6 2011 file photo, children's book author Maurice Sendak is photographed doing an interview at his home in Ridgefield, Conn. Sendak, author of the popular children's book "Where the Wild Things Are," died, Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at Danbury Hospital in Danbury, Conn. He was 83. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, file)
NEW YORK (AP) — Maurice Sendak didn't think of himself as a children's author, but as an author who told the truth about childhood.
"I like interesting people and kids are really interesting people," he explained to The Associated Press last fall. "And if you didn't paint them in little blue, pink and yellow, it's even more interesting."
Sendak, who died early Tuesday in Danbury, Conn., at age 83, four days after suffering a stroke, revolutionized children's books and how we think about childhood simply by leaving in what so many writers before had excluded. Dick and Jane were no match for his naughty Max. His kids misbehaved and didn't regret it, and in their dreams and nightmares fled to the most unimaginable places. Monstrous creatures were devised from his studio, but none more frightening than the grownups in his stories or the cloud of the Holocaust that darkened his every page.
"From their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions — fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can," he said upon receiving the Caldecott Medal in 1964 for "Where the Wild Things Are," his signature book. "And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming wild things."
Rarely was a man so uninterested in being loved or adored. Starting with the Caldecott, the great parade marched on and on. He received the Hans Christian Andersen award in 1970 and a Laura Ingalls Wilder medal in 1983. President Bill Clinton awarded Sendak a National Medal of the Arts in 1996 and in 2009 President Obama read "Where the Wild Things Are" for the Easter Egg Roll.
Communities attempted to ban him, but his books sold millions of copies and his curmudgeonly persona became as much a part of his legend as "Where the Wild Things Are," adapted into a hit movie in 2009. He seemed to act out everyone's fantasy of a nasty old man with a hidden and generous heart. No one granted the privilege could forget his snarly smile, his raspy, unprintable and adorable dismissals of such Login to read more
