Twelve fantastic musical adventures inspired by the amazing worlds of Doc Savage, pulp novel hero of the thirties and forties. Join composer/saxophonist Scott Robinson and his co-adventurers Ted Rosenthal, Randy Sandke, Dennis Irwin, Pat O'Leary and Dennis Mackrel as they investigate The Secret in the Sky, The Man Who Shook the Earth, Weird Valley and nine more astonishing mysteries. An ambitious musical undertaking, ten years in the making, featuring the giant contrabass sax, theremin and other amazing sounds. Endorsed by original Bantam paperback artist James Bama, and featuring his iconic pose of Doc on the front cover.
Ever wonder what a person could become, what one could be capable of, if all of their mental and physical potential were fully and completely realized? What if a regimen of intensive, scientific training and physical exercise were undertaken from childhood, overseen by a team of specialists dedicated to raising every capability of the human body and mind to the highest possible level of development? What if not one day, one moment, were wasted in the relentless pursuit of such a goal?
Most would probably snap under the strain. But perhaps one in a million would become a great scientist, inventor, and thinker, possessing phenomenal strength and iron determination, with an unmatched keenness of perception and an astonishing memory for the smallest detail. Add to that a strong moral character, unwavering courage combined with an essentially gentle nature, and an intense drive to be of service to humanity, and you would have someone capable of incredible accomplishments—someone able to help humanity on a grand scale. You would have Doc Savage.
Known as the Man of Bronze, a physical giant whose strangely compelling eyes" are like pools of flake gold stirred by something invisible... as if small whirlwinds of thought were mirrored in them," Doc Savage—aka bronze nemesis," man of tomorrow" and being of mystery" — was the archetypal pulp adventure hero. Doc's bronze-hued body is like metal in more than looks," yet his physique - though striking - is actually the least interesting thing about him. Trained from the cradle by a team of top scientists, Doc became a leader in the fields of chemistry, electrical engineering, and brain surgery... a prolific inventor whose well-equipped laboratories produce a stream of startling scientific devices... an expert pilot whose Hudson River hangars (disguised as decrepit warehouses) house an eye-popping collection of airplanes, dirigibles, and autogyros of his own design... even a jazz clarinetist and noted composer whose performance credits include Carnegie Hall! But, above all, it is the perilous and unselfish work of saving lives and righting wrongs" that demands the utmost of Doc's remarkable abilities.
In nearly 200 pulp novels published in the thirties and forties, Doc matches wits with a succession of ominously named villains such as Ool, Mandroff, and the fiendish Var," and invariably spoils their party. He has saved hidden civilizations from destruction, prevented evil gangs from toppling world governments, and even fended off an invasion of floating aliens armed with a deadly melody—a succession of tones that no human brain could withstand.
Far-fetched? Sure. The books were products of their time, and were aimed at a young audience. But these stories are also prophetic in many ways. In a 1933 episode, Doc has a robotic answering device"—we would say answering machine"—which records phone calls on a piece of wire. In 1937, he flies what is clearly a jet aircraft, although the term had not yet been invented. Doc also served as a prototype for many later characters who borrowed shamelessly from his ideas, such as James Bond (all those amazing gadgets), Superman (the Arctic laboratory retreat known as the Fortress of Solitude"), and Mr. Spock of Star Trek (the paralyzing neck pinch). Doc was, in many ways, ahead of his time.
As a kid, I amassed a large collection of the Bantam paperback reprints of these stories, and became fascinated with them. The evocative titles and the striking cover art of James Bama certainly helped. Many years later, I began to think about Doc Savage again, and it struck me that many of the titles were very suggestive of music. When Ben Allison of the Jazz Composers Collective in New York City invited me to mount a concert of original music for their series, I decided to go with the idea, and began work on a series of compositions based on the titles of Doc Savage adventures. I selected nine titles for the premiere performance, carefully considered the musical implications of each, and then, as I wrote, chose sounds that I felt would bring the both the titles and the music to life. The result was a crowded and somewhat treacherous stage for our first performance in March of 2001, with the giant contrabass sax nearly toppling over at one point! Thanks to my wife Sharon's sharp wits and quick reflexes, springing into action from the front row with a determination worthy of Doc himself, disaster was averted and the show was a success. I was encouraged when Loren Schoenberg, reviewing it for his NYC column in Jazz UK, called it without exaggeration... one of the best jazz concerts I have ever attended."
It took me some years to get around to recording all of this material (by then I had added a couple more pieces to the suite), and then, following the completion of the master, it took another three years to round up all of the permissions needed to legally use Doc's name and likeness on the CD. There were some discouraging moments when it appeared that I would not succeed... but I was unwilling to put the recording out without the cover scheme I envisioned. The Doc Savage character was the raison d'etre for the whole project. No Doc, no music! Ultimately my patience paid off, and with the gracious cooperation of Condé Nast, Random House, and cover artist James Bama, all the required pieces fell into place. Here at last, some ten years after the premiere, is the realization of my most ambitious project to date: Bronze Nemesis.
I should point out that I am not the first musician from the jazz sphere to have been fascinated by Doc Savage. The great Ruby Braff used to chat with me on the phone about Doc. I still have an answering machine message left by arranger Bill Finegan, asking if I remembered a particular episode in which Doc made a miraculous escape after being encased in a block of ice. And I recently learned that John Coltrane was an avid reader of the original Doc Savage pulps as a very young man. It is interesting to speculate how much Coltrane, famous for his long hours of diligent practice, might have been inspired by the intensive exercise regimen Doc undertook every day in which he exercised not only every muscle in his body but also his mental faculties, his hearing... even his sense of smell!
Music is always ready for inspiration to come from any source, and Doc Savage, the very idea of Doc Savage, provides all the inspiration one could hope for. And how can one not hear music when contemplating such titles as The Man Who Shook the Earth" and The Secret in the Sky"? Here, then, is music inspired by the amazing worlds of Doc Savage. – Adapted from the liner notes by Scott Robinson
About Scott Robinson
One of today's most wide-ranging instrumentalists, Scott Robinson has been heard on tenor sax with Buck Clayton's band, on trumpet with Lionel Hampton's quintet, on alto clarinet with Paquito D'Rivera's clarinet quartet, and on bass sax with the New York City Opera. On these and other instruments including theremin and ophicleide, he has been heard with a cross-section of jazz's greats representing nearly every imaginable style of the music, from Braff to Braxton. Scott has been heard numerous times on film, radio, and television, and his discography now includes more than 200 recordings.
A busy traveller, Scott has performed in some forty nations, once completing tours on five continents in a three-month period. He has performed in such diverse and prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Village Vanguard, the Library of Congress, and the Vienna Opera House. His performances for dignitaries worldwide have included a U.S. Presidential Inauguration and a command performance honoring the birthday of the king of Thailand. Scott's group was selected to be the closing act at the Knitting Factory's Sun Ra Festival in New York City. Scott has also written magazine articles and liner notes, and was an invited speaker at the Congressional Black Caucus Jazz Forum in Washington, D.C.
Scott has been a staunch advocate for creative music around the world. He was selected by the US State Department to be a Jazz Ambassador for 2001, completing an eight-week, eleven-country tour of West Africa performing his arrangements of the compositions of Louis Armstrong (later featured on his CD Jazz Ambassador). In 2012, Scott served as artist-in-residence at the weeklong Ancona Summer Jazz Festival in Italy. He is currently serving as musical host of the Annual Louis Armstrong Jazz Festival in Hungary.
Scott's many works as a composer cover a very wide range, from solo performance pieces, jazz tunes and songs, a suite for jazz quintet based on the titles of Doc Savage pulp novels of the thirties and forties, and chamber works such as his Immensities for Large Instruments, on up to large-scale compositions for wind band, symphony orchestra, and even combined orchestras.
The son of a piano teacher and a National Geographic writer/editor, Scott Robinson was born on April 27, 1959 in New Jersey, and grew up in an eighteenth century Virginia farmhouse. While in high school, he received the Louis Armstrong Award", and the Best Soloist Award" from the National Association of Jazz Educators. In 1981, he graduated from Boston's Berklee College of Music, and a year later became, at 22, Berklee's youngest faculty member.
Since moving to New York in 1984, Scott has been awarded four fellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts, and participated in a number of Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning recordings. Now a resident of Teaneck, NJ, Scott has constructed a studio/laboratory for sonic research, containing an astonishing assortment of instruments and devices. His first solo and collaborative recordings from this facility have begun to appear under his own ScienSonic Laboratories imprint, including Nucleus, and Live at Space Farms with longtime Sun Ra saxophonist Marshall Allen. Forthcoming projects include a duo session with pianist Frank Kimbrough, and Creative Music for 3 Bass Saxophones.
A respected performer in all areas of jazz, from traditional to avant-garde, Scott Robinson has arrived at his own unique musical voice which, as once described in a Northsea Jazz Festival program, combines solid foundations with great daring".
Doc-Tone Records is a subsidiary of ScienSonic Laboratories LLC, a home for adventurous and far-reaching music.
Note: The October 12 release date of BRONZE NEMESIS coincides with the birthday of Lester Dent (1904-1959), creator of the Doc Savage character and the primary author (under the pen name Kenneth Robeson) of the Doc Savage pulp fiction novels published in the '30s and '40s.

Chevron kind of Birthday
This chevron birthday card was made using some negatives from the Chevron box that I cut from the Boxes cartridge. I mounted the negative cuts onto this paper from Crate Paper 'Fourteen' 6x6 collection. The sentiment is from Stampendous.

Pink Glitter Elephants Baby Shower
I hosted a baby shower at my house that was a pink glitter elephant and gray and white chevron theme. We kept the decorations very minimal but made the rosette display that is pictured over my fireplace. I hand made the rosettes with my score board and then hot glued them all together and arranged them on a large, covered piece of cardboard. The hanging puffs on each side are tulle. The banner was made using the Heart2 cartouche from the Lacy Labels cartridge at 4". I hole punched them and strung them together with gray and white chevron ribbon from Hobby Lobby.
The table centerpieces were clear glass containers with shelled peanuts inside, wrapped with the same chevron ribbon and topped with pink glitter elephants that I cut in smaller sizes from the blackout of the Elephant on Martha Stewart Birthday Cake Art cartridge. The cut is two elephants together of the same size so I just snipped them apart and used a tiny hold punch to make an eye. I framed them with the same cartouche that I used on the banner but, different sizes. I glued them onto wooden skewers and then put the skewers into Queen and Co gray and white chevron straws and hot glued them.
These taller ones were on each side of the raised hearth. The toppers on these were too small so I made some paper rosettes for them as well.
Our favors were mini bottles of Pink Mascato that we got for 4/$5 at our local grocery store. At $1.25 per bottle, it wasn't bad for a nice favor that we knew would not be a waste of money. We attached thank you tags with the same design that was from the invitations
A couple small touches here. I bought some Nutter Butter cookies and dipped them into melted pink chocolate disks and the cheese tray was slides cheese cut out with a small elephant cookie cutter.

Buggy on Valentine's Day
This little cutie was made using Create a Critter, cut at 4" with the layers. The wings and heart were cut from a K&Co glittered paper and then I used the dots from the wings and glued them to the top of the antenna's. I also added some google eyes.
The mat paper is from My Mind's Eye Love Me collection. The felt rick rack is from the Target dollar bin. The stamped sentiment from Studio G and the buttons were sewn on using red and white Martha Stewart Baker's Twine.

Name Ornaments
Hello blogger world!!! I have been away for too long. Youth football and cheer were running my life and when it was over we went on vacation to Disney World. We came back from that and headed right into Thanksgiving and now the holidays are in full swing!
I'm almost complete with my annual neighborhood ornament project and apparently I forgot to post my neighborhood ornament from 2013. I bought these balls and used the Glitter It glue inside and then added the fine glitter, swirled it around and here you have the final product!
The names were done using vinyl and I cut the letters using the Storybook cartridge. The red initials is at 3" and the last name is at 1 1/2". I think I made 12 of them last year. I was very pleased with how they turned out although working with the vinyl on a rounded surface is a job that requires quite a bit of patience!

Look at those Stripes
This card is honestly one of my favorites! My husband is obsessed with the lawn and mowing. I was looking for a Cricut cut for a lawn mower that was more of a zero turn mower but, I couldn't find one. That sparked my idea for this card.

Horses Make Her Happy!!!!
I bought the Carta Bella Giddy Up 6x6 stack with my cousin's daughter in mind. She LOVES horses. So, this is her birthday card. I cut the horse and fence cut from the Country Life cartridge at 2 ¾". The Fiskars sentiment is stamped on a punched oval and then frames by a scallop oval that was punched. The Dear Lizzy ribbon adds a really girly tu-tu like touch.

Floral 50!
Today I have a flower card that I made for a co-worker who turned 50! I started with the base from DCWV La Creme mat stack and then the frame is from Elegant Edges, Design1-S at 4 1/4", also using paper from the La Creme mat stack. The flowers were all cut from Mother's Day Bouquet, using various flower cuts ranging from 1/2" - 1 1/2" and then put together using dimensional foam dots and brads in the centers. The stems of the flowers are black gems from the Michael's bins and the stamp is from Inkadinkado.

Shipton Bellinger
The village's name is thought to derive from "Sceap Tun", Saxon for a sheep farm, and indeed the rearing of sheep was the mainstay of the local economy for centuries and until nearby Tidworth became an important military base at the start of the twentieth century. The population of the parish has increased almost ten fold since then. Shipton parish is at the very edge of Hampshire, and is almost surrounded by the Wiltshire county border, at the edge of Salisbury Plain. St Peter's church, restored in 1879, has origins in at least the 14th century, probably earlier - today's structure retains much of the 17th century church. The peal of bells has hung for some four centuries, though the Andover Guild of Bellringers reports them as "unringable" (see web link below)?

How Can Development NGOs Go Urban?
Just spent a fascinating week in Nairobi, taking part in a review of our three-year- old urban programme there. Like many large development NGOs, Oxfam is deeply rural – goats, irrigation, drought, that kind of thing - but the world has gone urban, and so in a few countries, we are dipping our organizational toes in the water. Some impressions on the challenges of urban work:
Perhaps most striking are the multiple centres of power and association compared to the rural world. Tier upon tier of government, dense networks of clubs, traditional and tribal structures and militia, social and community organizations, churches, 'merry-go-round' savings and loans groups, youth groups, sports clubs, cultural groups – the list is endless. Power is dispersed and often hard to map or even detect. How to chart a way through the forest of organizations and identify potential partners and targets for influence?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to transplant hair follicles in the thinning or balding areas, extracted from the area of your scalp that has enough hair follicle supplies. The results of a hair transplant are natural looking and permanent.
If you are considering a hair transplant, an initial consultation is arranged between you and the hair transplant surgeon in which your scalp is examined carefully. Your doctor will analyze your needs and expectations to make an appropriate treatment plan for you.
You will be given some guidelines to follow before the treatment to make the surgery and recovery process easier and comfortable.
A hair transplant surgery is performed under a local anesthesia. Your surgeon would extract the hair follicles from the donor area. Hair grafts are formed and transferred to the marked recipient area which can be either eyebrows, beard, chest or balding scalp. The process can take up to 8 or more hours. The duration of the surgery depends on the number of grafts required.
Once the hair transplant surgery has been completed, you will feel soreness in the treated area for some time. The growth of hair will be seen within two to three weeks. If you have chosen a FUT hair transplant, you are likely to experience a linear scar formation in the donor site. However, a scar should not be formed after a FUE hair transplant.
You will have to take rest for two to three days. You can start your daily routine after the 3rd day of the surgery. You will be prescribed specific shampoo and conditioner to take care of your hair. You will be required to make follow-up appointments with the surgeon so your progress can be monitored.
If you have bald spots on the scalp, a FUE hair transplant in Dubai might be the best treatment option for you. Submitting the given form enables you to book a free consultation in which you may;

We focus on three major areas of bone healing: (1) the underlying cell and molecular regulatory mechanisms involved in skeletal development and fracture repair, (2) the role of the mechanical environment during fracture repair, and (3) stem cell-based tissue engineering strategies to enhance bone regeneration. Assays performed in the lab include, but are not limited to in vivo fracture healing models in mouse, rat and rabbit, bone histomorphometry, genetically modified mouse models, in situ hybridization, microCT analysis, and routine cell and molecular biology techniques. We were recently funded to examine the embryonic origin of skeletal stem cells, and how the embryonic origin affects their regenerative potential. Other studies investigate the effect of Wnt3a, a pro-osteogenic protein, on aged bone grafts. This line of work integrates basic science research in the field of bone regeneration with a relatively new target indication: enhancing the osteogenic potential of aged bone autograft.

When Arielle Bobb-Willis, a New Yorker, moved to South Carolina in 2008, she suddenly found herself deep in an existential depression that lasted for five, Sartre-filled years. All that changed, though, after her history teacher saw how much she perked up in photography class and gave her her first film camera, which rendered the bedroom she'd only known as gray in an orange-y yellow, and slowly but surely started to change her perspective. Now 23 and back in New York, Bobb-Willis specializes in portraits of contorted figures in brightly colored garments, which are quite intentionally a metaphor for the "super super uncomfortable positions" she's been in: "The most important thing that I want people to take from my work is that good things come from bad times."
You may know him from the runways of shows like Eckhaus Latta, but Michael Bailey-Gates has been posting his photos online long before he signed to Ford Models, since he was just 13. Now 24, Bailey-Gates has lately stood out for his flair for daring and transformative self-portraits, which often prominently feature his remote control timer. (He's in fact been taking photos of himself since he was a kid, though it's likely those after-school snapshots didn't involve posing pantsless underwater or dangling from a rope held up by Jane Moseley.)
D'Angelo Lovell Williams is currently finishing up his MFA in photography at Syracuse University, but the 25-year-old is already responsible for what the critic Roberta Smith called "one of the year's best gallery debuts" last year. His series of self-portraits, like the photo of Williams with a gun in his mouth that first caught the eye of the New York gallery Higher Pictures, exhibit an unabashed, confrontational intimacy while raising issues of desire, particularly when it comes to black figures, as well as the stigmas Williams has personally experienced as a black, gay man. "When I made Face Down, Ass Up," the artist, who's from Mississippi, said of the image above, "it was about me wanting to reinterpret what happened to me, painless and natural, but in a beautiful way. The larger picture is that there is so much that needs to be de-stigmatized."
It was actually her decision to study medicine that pushed Nadine Ijewere, a 25-year-old from London, toward photography, which she found to be a welcome break from "the hardcore science and maths" for her A Levels. A degree in fashion photography later, Ijewere now shoots for magazines like Vogue and labels like Stella McCartney—all with a casting-driven, diversity-championing style that carries over to the portrait series she's shot in places like her grandmother's hometown in Nigeria, which in turn have led to showings in galleries like Red Hook Labs. (Last year, she was named among their picks of the best emerging African photographers.)
Before Camila Falquez, who was raised in Barcelona and is now based in Brooklyn, struck out on her own, the 28-year-old officially began her photography career by assisting Scott Schuman, aka The Sartorialist of street-style fame. Since then, she's devoted herself to her own practice full-time, which has so far ranged from shooting nude editorials for Vogue Italia and portraits for Afropunk to traveling to Senegal to spend "the most memorable five minutes" of her life photographing wrestlers at sunset.
Daria Kobayashi Ritch was unintentionally thrown into the spotlight last year when Solange invited her to her home in L.A. for a one-on-one portrait session that ended up blowing up after the Evening Standard ran an altered version of the photos without consulting either of them—including erasing the braids that both she and Solange felt were the pictures' essential feature. For Ritch, such a move felt personal: The 26-year-old photographer has made of point of connecting to her subjects so that she can portray them authentically. These days, Ritch has kept up that level of intimacy even when shooting the likes of Jared Leto and Willow Smith.
The same year that he earned his MFA in photography at Yale, John Edmonds, now 28, was featured in shows curated by Mickalene Thomas and Hilton Als—both of whom, like Edmonds, have a knack for expressing humanity and particularly black identity through their art. The Brooklyn-based photographer has a particular interest in classical notions of beauty, as seen in series like Immaculate, of boys at the edge of adulthood in his hometown of D.C.; Hoods, faceless portraits taken from behind; Do-Rags, featuring men wearing them "like crowns"; and Tribe, an examination of the type of beautification that can happen through image-making, which he just started this year.
Kat Bayard and Mat Sliwa, both 25 and based in New York, began their partnership a few years ago when Kat, who started out taking photos as a kid on a 35mm Barbie camera, had her parents worrying she'd break all of their dishes doing one of her dinnerware still life shoots and turned to Mat for help. From there, the duo, who recently signed to Pier 59's agency, has teamed up to photograph everyone from buzzy models like Casil McArthur and Ali Michael to French club kids who hang out in underground Tokyo for magazines like C☆NDY, V, and King Kong.
Kito Muñoz started out shooting in the 1700s-era Andulasian courtyard in his Spanish hometown of Cádiz, which is in part how at just 19, he shot one of last year's most talked about fashion campaigns. It turns out the designer of Palomo Spain is also from Andalusia, and Muñoz has photographed his work since day one—long before the label was buzzy enough to end up in the hands of Beyoncé, and before he and Alejandro Palomo made a splash by putting the focus of the label's fall 2017 ads mostly on the models' bare butts. Now all of 20 years old and based in Madrid, Muñoz is already a full-time photographer—and capable of making even commissions from Grindr look artful.
Tom Johnson used to "bunk off school to come to London and shoot," but these days, he's based in the city—and 10 years into making photography his entire focus. That's not to say the 26-year-old, who's currently on set in Jerusalem, doesn't like some variety in his shooting locations: His mix of documentary and fashion photography—including portraits of models he sourced from Craigslist—has so far taken him everywhere from Twinsberg, Ohio, where he captured a gathering of 2,000 identical twins, to a sweaty boxing club in Bethnal Green, where he recently shot runway jewelry for Burberry.

This post is part of the Food Matters Project, a cooking collaboration among participating bloggers. Each week, we will cook a recipe from Mark Bittman's Food Matters Cookbook, which places an emphasis on mindful and sustainable eating. Follow along with us!
This week's post was chosen by yours truly, Small Kitchen College. I personally chose it for two reasons: 1. Crispy. 2. Brown. I'm always looking for foods coated in that brown, crispy layer of fry but are slightly more okay to eat health-wise. Humans like fried foods. The rest is just damage control. These are facts.
It's another fact that humans are imperfect, and this fault interfered with my creating the wonderful rice cakes of my dreams, unfortunately. Making a pot of rice isn't too challenging, but reaching rice perfection is quite the opposite, and this batch just wasn't sticky enough to cake up quite right. I added an egg to amend this sticky situation, with decent results. Frustrating story short, I ended up baking my rice cakes for about 35 minutes at 350°F to slight brownness and crispiness flipping them halfway through. Next time around, I'll own you, rice cakes.
Otherwise, Bittman's original recipe called for a pretty standard stir-fry, which I kept pretty standard but instead used some random veggies of my choosing: a nifty purple bell pepper, yellow squash, scallions, carrots and edamame. No protein. Get off my back. Although I hypocritically didn't do anything creative here, another reason I chose this recipe was to see what creative variations people could come up with on this adaptable classic. Food Matters bloggers, put me to shame! Check them out at The Food Matters Project.
Jen Cantin graduated from Clark University in 2011 with a degree in English and Journalism. She lives in Philly but can also be located at Deep Fried Epiphany. She dedicates this post to accidentally popping edamame out of their pods onto the floor, whoa there, gettin' crazy!
Crisp Rice Cakes with Stir-Fried Vegetables and Chicken
Serves 4
From The Food Matters Cookbook
**Note: Below is the original recipe as it appears in the cookbook. My main change, as noted above, was adding an egg to the rice and baking the cakes at 350°F for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. I used different vegetables but followed the same basic stir-fry method. For more tips on improving your own stir-fry click here.
3 cups cooked brown basmati rice
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, more as needed
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 large carrots, chopped
3 celery stalks
2 cups snow peas
1 tablespoon fish sauce
One lime, juiced
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Heat the oven to 200°F. Season the rice with salt and pepper and stir in sesame oil. Form the rice into four 1-inch-thick cakes. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook rice cakes until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Put on a baking sheet in oven to keep warm.
Heat the remaining tablespoon in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Let it sit and sizzle for a couple minutes before stir, then stir until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes for breast meat and a couple minutes longer for thighs.
Remove chicken from pan and add onion and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds before adding carrots and celery, then cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer, or until the veggies just begin to soften. Add the snow peas and cook for about 2 minutes longer, when the veggies are tender but still a bit crunchy.
Stir in the fish sauce, a few tablespoons water, the lime juice and the chicken. Stir for about a minute or until the sauce thickens a bit. Taste and season further to your liking. Top rice cakes with stir fry and garnish with cilantro.

your frustration paid off coz your rice cake looks perfect! i don't know if i would even have been patient enough to do the baking and then flipping the rice cakes thing. thanks for picking a good one jen!
Great choice! Although I ended up doing a stir fry, it's nice to do something easy and flexible! And Chinese is always delicious!

Appraised Property
A bankruptcy appraisal consists of an evaluation of all assets owned by the debtor, including real estate and personal property, for both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. It is advisable to have these valuations done by a company with experience in bankruptcy appraisals, since bankruptcy judges look at not only the valuations themselves, but the underlying factual analysis from which the valuations are derived. The appraisal should be defensible, easy to comprehend and convincing.
Purposes of Appraisal
The bankruptcy court uses an appraisal for two main purposes. First, the court needs an appraisal to determine whether certain property of the debtor is exempt from the claims of creditors. In many cases, the court will protect a debtor's house and/or other property, such as a car, from the claims of creditors. Exemptions are tricky. The amount of certain exemptions are set forth in federal bankruptcy law, but states are given the power to opt out of the federal standard and substitute their own exemption amounts. Second, the appraisal is used to determine whether the debtor has sufficient assets to pay his debts. If he does, the bankruptcy petition likely will be denied or the debtor will be required to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead and establish a payment plan to pay creditors.
Appraisals for Debtors
Before going through the bankruptcy process, a debtor might want to test the waters to determine whether he is likely to succeed in getting his debts discharged under Chapter 7, or succeed in getting a repayment program approved under Chapter 13. An appraisal gives a debtor solid factual information about the valuation of his property, which can help the debtor decide which type of bankruptcy to file or whether to file at all.
Don't try to low-ball an appraisal if you are filing for bankruptcy. An appraisal that is not professional, or appears to be slanted in favor of the debtor, is unlikely to find favor with the court. It's illegal to file a dishonest appraisal with the court, and some debtors have been prosecuted for doing so. That's another reason to have an appraisal done by a reputable company. The Read & Kelley appraisal firm in Florida advises a debtor to obtain an appraisal report that is printed and signed, with a complete description of the appraised property, and a description of the methodology used to determine the valuations.

Nabeel Rajab, the president of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, said he was kicked and beaten with clubs by members of the security forces who broke up a pro-democracy demonstration on Friday.
The Bahraini government, struggling to restore order after nearly a year of sectarian tensions on the island, denied the allegations, claiming that the police had come to Mr Rajab's aid by assisting him into an ambulance after he suffered tear gas inhalation.
The incident quickly drew international attention, in part because of Mr Rajab's reputation as the Gulf state's best known human rights defender.
Concerned that it could trigger renewed instability on the strategically important island, which serves as the base for the US Fifth Fleet, officials in Washington urged the Bahraini government to take prompt action.
"While the facts surrounding the violence that transpired remain in dispute, we strongly urge the government of Bahrain to undertake a full investigation to determine if excessive force was employed by the police," said Victoria Nuland, spokesman for the US State Department.
At least 40 people were killed in the first few months of last year after members of Bahrain's Shia majority, inspired by the Arab Spring, rose up to demand an end to what they said was a deliberate policy of marginalisation against them by the Al Khalifa royal family, the island's Sunni rulers.

Born in a swamp in Florida, Ellison Langford was a high school weightlifter and perpetually stressed IB student. She went on to Auburn University to study Journalism and Spanish, and eat her weight in barbecue sandwiches. Somehow she grew up to become a cranky feminist with a denim vest decorated with her favorite '90s heroines. The Internet is definitely to blame for that. While playing beater for the University of Florida quidditch team, she started a Facebook group for likeminded folks to discuss gender issues within the sport. When not refereeing this group, or playing the "in-and-out" game with her two cats, she is working on a book about women's contributions to defense production during World War II. She does not recommend writing a book to anyone.

Torchwood: Children Of Mirth
By Shannon Lush
This particular entry will be delving into (it's fair to admit, obsessing over), Torchwood, the ill-fated spinoff series of Doctor Who. Before I ascend too far up the ladder of vitriol, reigning down buckets of Whovian spittle all the way, a few admissions…
First, I never particularly liked anything to do with this series. When the project was revealed, I felt the concept of a secretive, alien-fighting' band of government agents was served quite well by UNIT and any newly-created group of like-minded characters were nothing more than watered-down versions. For over thirty years in Doctor Who and just as long within spinoff media, it was well established that UNIT were the world's foremost defenders from the threat of alien incursion. If any organization was deserving of a televised spinoff from Doctor Who, it is UNIT. Indeed, Big Finish Audio has created excellent spin-off adventures featuring established and new characters. One such adventure even provided David Tennant his first Doctor Who credit, years before he gulped a cup of tea and discovered his fighting hand.

We'll Rant And We'll Roar
This particular entry of the blog is going to be a little different, primarily as it will basically detail my response to a recent review of The Whostorian Podcast found on iTunes. The reviewer quite nicely provided our humble little podcast with a 4 out of 5 star review, which is not only appreciated it's definitely a big help to us, as every comment and review on iTunes (and, indeed, everywhere else we are found online) helps us stand out and gain listeners. So, to this reviewer and to all who have sampled our show and associated media output such as this blog, a hearty 'thank you'. Both Steve and myself continue to perform the podcast as a labour of pure love to both 'Doctor Who' the franchise and to fellow Whovians, and feedback, even if it's negative, is greatly appreciated.

'Who And Me': Former producer Barry Letts's audiobook review
by Shannon Lush
As an old-school Whovian, I am well accustomed to searching high and low for 'Doctor Who' goodies. Pulling tatty copies of 'Doctor Who' comic books from dusty boxes at comic shops, finding a battered and weather-beaten Mel action figure from a garage sale, and traveling on two buses across two cities in order to track down Target novelizations are all escapades I've endured, and enjoyed, to build a humble collection of merchandise. Canada in the 1980s and 1990s was not a country overflowing with 'Doctor Who' merchandise, and Whovians worth their salt hunted like Slitheens high and low for whatever they could unearth.

'World (Re)Shaping With Grant Morrison
As promised a very long time ago now (sorry readers, been awhile since I've been able to sit down and compose a proper blog entry review for this page, I'll try and be more prolific now that we all are impatiently waiting for the 50th Anniversary episode), it's time to delve into 'Doctor Who' comics review. We'll begin with tales from the current rights holder of the property for comics, IDW Comics, who in addition to publishing an on-going series featuring the current Matt Smith Doctor (I've been catching up on some of them, so expect a review soon), also produce special issues such as the recent 'Star Trek The Next Generation/Doctor Who' crossover story 'Assimilation Squared' which Steve (rightly) slagged to pieces on 'The Whostorian' podcast. To add to this creative output, they also print a title, 'Doctor Who Classic Comics', that exclusively presents material reprinted from 'Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly/Magazine' ongoing comic strip, and it is an issue of that series we will be reviewing this time around.

Podcasting 101
This week for the Whostorian blog I thought I'd go off on a different tangent. I've been reading some articles and listening to a couple of shows by other members of The 76th Street Network talking about what process goes into making their podcasts and what equipment they use. So this week, instead of talking Doctor Who, I'd like to talk about podcasting in general and the learning process that went into bringing the show to where it is today.

Steve's guide to New Whovians
by Stylin' Steve
As I said on the podcast, this week my friend Gerry asked me "What is Doctor Who and why is it so popular these last few years." Word for word, here is my answer;
"Doctor Who is a British Sci-Fi show that's been on for the past 50 years. It's about an alien time traveler who calls himself The Doctor and his adventures with different people tagging along."

The Pages Of Time: A Brief History Of 'Doctor Who' Comic Books
Note: Due to technical oddities beyond my control, I won't be reviewing 'The Minister Of Chance' podcast featuring 'Doctor Who' alumnus at all now, sorry. If you enjoyed it, then perhaps, if you ask nicely, Steve Lake will handle a review of the series on 'The Whostorian' podcast itself. It's available on iTunes for free download, and their twitter account is @MinisterChance. I support them, so should you!
..and now, we return to our regularly scheduled blog entry, already in progress....

Some signs of carpenter ants are seeing damaged wood, hearing noises coming from within the walls. Also by finding foraging ants in the kitchen at night.There are two types of carpenter ant nests: parent colonies and satellite colonies. Parent colonies are typically established outdoors in moist wood including rotting trees, tree roots, tree stumps, and logs or boards lying on or buried in the ground.A satellite nest is created by scouts looking for food from the parent nest.
Carpenter ants may nest in moist or decayed wood inside buildings. Wood decay may be caused by exposure to water leaks, condensation, or poor air circulation. Nests have been found behind bathroom tiles; around tubs, sinks, showers, and dishwashers; under roofing, in attic beams, and under subfloor insulation; and in hollow spaces such as doors, curtain rods, and wall voids. Areas around windows and where wood parts touch the foundation may be prone to infestation. Carpenter ants may also nest in foam insulation.
Parent carpenter ant colonies sometimes establish one or more satellite nests in nearby indoor or outdoor sites. Satellite nests are typically composed of workers, pupae, and mature larvae. A satellite nest with less moisture may only support workers (the eggs would dry out in lower humidity). For this reason, satellite nests can be found in relatively dry locations, such as insulation, hollow doors, sound wood, and wall voids. The workers of satellite colonies move readily between their nest and the parent colony. In late summer, winged reproductives (i.e. queens and males) may emerge from pupae transported into satellite colonies. Carpenter ants may appear in structures in late winter and early spring as they swarm from a satellite nest. Carpenter ants may move eggs into satellite nests inside a house or other structure if there is enough moisture.
Carpenter Ants Can Cause Damage
Carpenter ants have infested the home and the owner is wondering if the pests can cause damage to it? Yes indeed, the ants can cause extensive damages. Carpenter Ants are crazy for wood, but are especially in love with damp wood. So, if recently there has been any leaks or water damage in the home, it's time to check the damaged places for signs of the ants. The Carpenter Ants could be very deep inside the wood of the walls. Therefore it may not easy to identify the problem, that being a carpenter ant
When to look out for Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants start the mating season in early Spring. This would be the most prevalent time in which the ants will be around the home. The pests are active the most at night. Be aware and watch for the ants in bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens. Any place where water is readily available. Look for them in Walls and wooden doors that have small holes or gaps is a place to look for the ants. One way to find out if there are carpenter ants in hollow wood in the home is to tap the handle of a screwdriver against the surface. If there are carpenter ants behind the wood, it will make a sound that can be heard by the human ear. Be aware that the ants may be searching for food inside the home, but may live in areas laden with wood outside the home.
Carpenter Ants taking up residence in the home, observe the pests very closely. The ants are often present when termites are in the premises, as well. While investigating look for some distinguishing characteristics. Carpenter Ants have pinched waists while termites have straight waists. Carpenter ants have elbowed antennae but termites do not. Carpenter ants are quite large compared to other types of ants, and the queen Carpenter Ant grows even longer. The carpenter ants' nests tends to have smooth wood, whereas termites' nests consist of rough wood.
Although it's a popular belief, carpenter ants do not eat wood. Carpenter Ants like to feast on syrup, jelly, honeydew, and other insects. The ants even eat termites. However, don't even think about bringing termites to the ants table. Not a good move. The pests just set up the nests in wood. Even though the ants don't eat wood, do not ignore a carpenter ant infestation.
If no action is taken, the carpenter ants will begin reproducing at a very high speed of rate. A carpenter ant colony can consist of a few thousand carpenter ants. Having an entire colony of carpenter ants can decrease the value of the home.
It's not advisable to put firewood up against the siding of the home. It is simply inviting the carpenter ants and other pests to come on in. Storing firewood should be as far away from the house as possible. Elevating the wood off of the ground for extra precaution is best. Make sure wood is stored on a well made firewood rack. It is excellent prevention to be aware of the up keep of all wood areas of the home. Inside and out. There is so much taken for granted that isn't part of our daily concerns of the home. Remember to cut down any branches or tree limbs that are touching the home. Seal all holes and crevices around the perimeter of the home. Which means the foundation and all doors of the home.
Carpenter Ants are controlled through the application of insecticides and sprays in various forms. These forms include liquid concentrates, baits, dusts, and foams. Some products for carpenter ant control that are available in stores contain boric acid, an odorless, nonstaining powder that kills ants and other pests. The active mineral in boric acid has herbicidal, fungicidal and insecticidal properties. In controlling carpenter ants, boric acid can be a dry powder or a liquid insect bait solution that contains a food attractant. Boric acid acts as a stomach poison for carpenter ants and other insects. The dry powder is intended to adhere to an insect's exoskeleton. The insect would ingest the powder when it grooms its legs to clean off the powder. The powder form of boric acid is injected into crevices and cracks, where it forms a layer of dust.
When carpenter ants travel through boric acid dust, borax adheres to their legs. Carpenter ants ingest the poison while grooming, potentially leading to death. However, boric acid bait solutions must be carefully formulated, and there is no guarantee that over-the-counter solutions will kill an ant colony. If the risk of property damage is severe, consult a pest control professional before treatment. Okay, the Carpenter Ant infestation is a certainty. It's time to call AMPM Exterminators to the rescue. A highly experienced and professional exterminator will be on route to the home or commercial business building in no time. Those pests are about to be evicted.

Update Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Revisited this Skin Aqua UV Sara Sara Milk SPF50+ PA+++ after SunPlay Super Block failed me and I grew tired of having to take second measures around the eye area when using Skin Aqua UV Sara Sara Essence. I mean, putting on sunscreen every day is one thing, but having to put on two different sunscreens, one for the face and one for around the eyes? What a pain in the a$$!
So I dared another experiment with this dreadfully drying UV Sara Sara Milk, though this time I'd learned my lesson (or not, after all here I am trying this stuff again...) and was being super careful about layering adequately underneath it (Caudalie VinoSource S.O.S Thirst-Quenching Serum, will review next). Interestingly enough, I can't seem to find this UV Sara Sara Milk in Taipei! I've seen plenty of its alcohol-free sister Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk in the blue bottle at Watson's, but not Sara Sara Milk in the pink bottle. Not sure why.
Anyway, this was totally unexpected, but this Sara Sara Milk turns out to be just perfect for the crazy humid Taipei weather! Even better is that together with SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, it's been really helping with my pore clogging problem ever since I came to Taipei, perhaps because it's just that drying and it gives my skin no chance to get oily and clogged. Also, there is a reason I gave this sunscreen and SK-II Clear Lotion the credit for helping to clear up my skin and not Avene TriAcneal, but I'm not going to get into it until I actually review that product.
So there, I brought my partially, well, more like 2/3 used bottle from Japan to Taiwan on a hunch and it rewarded me handsomely. In fact, it worked out so well that when my sister came to visit in late October-early November, I asked her to bring me an extra bottle from my stash. Even then, I doubted this extra bottle. At the time, I was only about 2 weeks into the trial and I, nah, I probably won't even touch the new bottle because it would deep fry my skin before I finish up the current bottle. Well, I'm so so glad I was wrong, and that I have this new bottle to use, because it's been almost 7 weeks now and my skin thanks me for it!
Update Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Okay, so after 3 weeks of continuous use of this Skin Aqua UV Sara Sara Milk SPF50+ PA+++ sans moisturizer underneath, it totally dried out my skin. Damn, I was so convinced I would get away with it given how hot and humid it is outside! Guess not :( The alcohol is probably too much for my skin to handle and I've been getting dry and flaky patches on both cheeks, chin, and on the area around the mouth T.T
Time for damage control, and after spending more than 10 days layering moisturizer underneath (Mamonde Moisture Emulsion or HABA Lift Up Serum - finally ran out of both and currently using Caudalie Pulpe Vitaminee Anti-Wrinkle Fluid, will review soon), the dry and flaky patches improved but haven't gone away completely. So unfortunately, this sunscreen is definitely a big no-no for me during the winter. I mean, shoot, it's already giving me dry flakes now when my dry-combination skin requires only light to no moisturizer. What havoc will it wreck during the colder months when my skin goes into crazy dry mode? Eeeps!!! I guess there's no replacing my trusty all-star year round Allie after all. Ha.
This Sara Sara Milk is strictly for summer use, I concluded, and with adequate moisturizer underneath for sure. If your skin is super oily, that's an entirely different story, but if your skin is just plain dry, really, stay away!
Original post Sunday, July 15, 2012
Having decided to put away Allie Extra UV Gel Mineral Moist N, I was eager to give this Skin Aqua UV Sara Sara Milk SPF50+ PA+++ a try. There are 2 sunscreens available in the Skin Aqua UV Milk range, a Moisture Milk I tried a few years ago that's alcohol-free, aiming to maintain moisture as most Japanese sunscreen are full of alcohol and can be drying, and this Sara Sara Milk released spring of last year that contains powder for a smooth finish. I ignored it then, thinking powder is rather an unnecessary ingredient, only to change my mind in the spirit of trying new things and gave it a chance recently. And besides, trying a different product from the same brand/range is not really that "new" or particularly adventurous in anyway.
Upon the very first application, I can't help but notice the alcohol content in this sunscreen. It reeks of alcohol, feels like alcohol, and when there is broken skin on my face, it stings like alcohol too. I took a look at the ingredients list and, what do you know, alcohol is the 2nd ingredient on the list. I'm still uncertain whether Japanese laws require cosmetics makers to list ingredients according to concentration, but this sunscreen does have a lot of alcohol in it and you should be aware. But other than the alcohol, this is actually quite a lovely sunscreen and, believe it or not, I like it way better than its alcohol-free Moisture Milk sister ^.^ Of course I can say this because my skin isn't sensitive against alcohol, so if yours is, I wouldn't recommend it.
Because of the powder content in this sunscreen, you will need to shake the bottle vigorously prior to dispensing. The couple of times when I thought I shook it hard enough, I didn't and the milk comes out with the powder and clear liquid still a bit separated. It has an emulsion-like texture but quickly turns into a thick milk, not runny by any means. It dries quickly, taking about 3-5 minutes for complete absorption, faster than the reformulated Allie Extra UV Protector Perfect Alpha milk (which has been reformulated again to Extra UV Protector Perfect Alpha N for 2012)!
Having used this sunscreen for the past two weeks, I'm going to do a complete reversal of my earlier thoughts that powder is an unnecessary ingredient in sunscreen - it's actually an ingenious addition, at least with this Sara Sara Milk it is! It dries to a beautifully translucent and elegantly matte finish that makes me look like I've just dusted on some translucent powder. And in a way I am, since the powder is already mixed in with it. I think what I love best about this sunscreen is how weightless it is on my skin. When I say weightless, I mean it feels like my bare skin with a light dusting of powder. I kid you not - the first time I wore it I kept running my hands all over my face. Ick, I know, but that was just how amazed I was. It literally felt like I had dusted translucent powder onto freshly cleansed and prepped skin and that was it, no traces of the actual sunscreen at all. No white cast, no heaviness, no grease, not even a hint, nothing!
I find that this Sara Sara Milk keeps its gorgeous matte finish well, more than 5 hours, if I were to skip moisturizer underneath. That means only the mister (Hadanomy AquaPlacenta Concentrated Mist), eye cream (Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Eye Cream or BeautyMate Nano Eye Essence), and lotion (Mamonde Moisture Skin Softener or The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner). And I can skip moisturizer right now only because it's so freakin' hot and humid outside and a moisturizer would be over kill. When I stay home all day and don't wear sunscreen, I still have to apply moisturizer because the AC dries out my indoor air. Anyway, even with the eye cream I have to be careful. If it's too moisturizing (Clinique All About Eyes, will review next), it will still melt the sunscreen on my lids and stains my contact lenses.
So yes, in the case of this Sara Sara Milk it's not the makeup but rather my moisturizers (Mamonde Moisture Emulsion or HABA Lift Up Serum) that plays a big role in how well the sunscreen works. When there is moisturizer underneath, the it dries to a semi-matte finish instead of a fully matte one. And while I also like this healthy glowy finish, unfortunately it doesn't last as long, only about 3 hours before turning into a sheen in the Japanese summer. If you live in a dryer climate though, I think layering moisturizer underneath shouldn't be a problem. I would recommend it even, due to all the alcohol contents in this sunscreen. This sunscreen does require an oil cleanser for complete removal, but an oil cleanser is already a fixture in my daily skincare routine so nothing new here for me.
Honestly, I'm going to have to keep using this sunscreen for much much longer to see if I prefer it over my trusty Allie milk, which I've been using since 2008. For now, it's excellent, if not even better because of the lovely matte and translucent powder-like finish. The other critical part of the test, however, comes with the dry winter months and who knows if all that alcohol will deep fry my skin then. We'll see, may be I'll go from relying on one sunscreen for all seasons to having a sunscreen for every season ^.^

Athanasius Schneider says, "Schism already exists in the Church"

Schneider is sorta right. These new schismatics are in union with the pope, who is a schismatic himself. Though that's not what Schneider meant, I understand.ReplyDelete

Ignore Mr.Schneider,he isn't a valid priest nor a bishop.ReplyDelete
He belongs to the new order (novus ordo) and doesn't practice nor belong to the Roman Catholic Faith.
- AnonymousDecember 7, 2016 at 6:29 PM
Although this person belongs to modernist church but some of his ideas are very important indeed to at least lead people to the true faith.ReplyDelete
I read it twice and I'm still confused. And we know confusion and the double mind is of devils.ReplyDelete
However, I think Schneider is speaking for himself because he can't decide in which camp he resides. He is double minded.
So, he either doesn't know the truth or is too afraid to state it clearly. Either way, he's of no use to Catholics.

Choosing a flooring style
All about various flooring options, including basement flooring, vinyl flooring, cork flooring, cheap flooring, wood flooring and more
Choosing from among the various flooring styles can be quite difficult to because there are so many styles on the market you can be spoiled for choice. You also have to take into account whereabouts the flooring will be used, because some styles are just not suited to some situations. This article will take a look at some of the various flooring styles and give some pointers as to how they can be chosen to get the best deal.
One place in the house that is always a problem when it comes to choosing the flooring style is the basement, but luckily there are many different types of basement flooring options, and these can range from laminate basement flooring through rubber flooring, and even cork flooring. Laminate flooring can be good in a basement but you do need to make sure that the basement is not damp, and you may have to do some remedial work before you lay the flooring there. Rubber basement flooring can be a good sound insulator, and is also very waterproof which can make it a very good choice for the basement. Cork flooring is also a great sound insulator and also has the added benefit that it can be quite warm.
Many people, of course, really like to have something that has an antique style, and there are many styles of antique laminate flooring that can be found from various companies. There are many flooring styles in the antique type of flooring, and they can range from antique oak to antique pine flooring with many different styles in between. The thing to think about is how the flooring fits in with the overall decoration of the room.
One thing that many people like to bear in mind is how easy it is to install the particular flooring style, and in this respect flooring tiles can be a very good choice. It can be a good idea to get a professional flooring contractor to look at this so that you are certain that you get the job done properly.
It should be obvious that the many different styles of flooring mean that the choice needs to be taken in relation to the overall design of the room. The best way to look at what is available is to go online and look at the various flooring supplies that are available there, as this will give you a really good idea as to the best choice.

Sightseeing | Excursions | Festivals
Srinathji Temple: Situated 48 km north of Udaipur, Nathdwara has the famous Sri Nathji Temple which is an important shrine for Vashnavites. The black stone Krishna image that is housed in the temple was brought here from Mathura in 1669 to protect it from the destructive impulses of Aurangzeb. According to legend, the getaway vehicle, a wagon, sank into ground up to the axels as it was passing through Nathdwara. The priests realized that this was a sign from Lord Krishna - the image did not want to travel any further! Accordingly, the Sri Nathji temple was built on the spot.
Attendants treat the image like a delicate child, getting it up in the morning, washing it, putting its clothes on, offering it specially prepared meals and putting it down to sleep, al at precise times throughout the day. It is a popular pilgrimage site and the temple opens and closes around the image's daily routine. It gets very crowded around 3.30 and 4pm when Lord Krishna wakes up after a siesta. Photography is not allowed.
Nathdwara Temple: The temple has a story behind its establishment. According to the legend, the image of Lord Shrinath ji was enshrined in Vrindavan (land of Lord Krishna), but to protect the idol from the destructive rage of Aurangzeb. In 1672, Rana Raj Singh was the only gallant, who made an effort to rescue the idol from the domain of Aurangzeb. It is said that when the image was being shifted to an impervious place then at a particular place, the wheel of vehicle sank deep down in mud. The image refused to move further, so the escorting priest apprehended that this was Lord's chosen spot. Thus, a temple was built on the same spot.
The structure of this temple is simple, but the aesthetic appeal of this temple is ceaseless. The image of Shrinathji is worth seeing and feeling the celestial beauty of the God. Lord Shrinathji symbolizes a form of Lord Krishna, when he lifted the 'Govardhana' (a hill). In the image, the lord is revealed with his left hand raised and the right is bunged in a fist. The idol is carved out of a large black stone. Images of two cows, a snake, a lion, two peacocks and a parrot by the god's head are imprinted on the idol.
Haldighati: A small village in the Aravalli Hills about 44 km. north of Udaipur and about 1,839 m. above sea level. Beyond this is Haldighati Pass, a narrow defile almost a kilometre in length, running south to northeast. It ends in a plain where the famous Battle of Haldighati (1576) actually took place between Maharana Pratap Singh I and the Mughal armies of Emperor Akbar. A geographical feature of the pass ('ghati') is its soft yellow soil. When crumbled it resembles the spice, turmeric ('haldi'), which gives the place its name.
Desert Festival: The Desert Festival is organized in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, usually in the month of January or February.
The duration of the festival is three days and it comes to an end on Poornima, the full moon day. The main purpose of the Rajasthan Desert Festival is to display the rich and colorful culture of the state. Dressed in vibrant and colorful attire, the people of Rajasthan dance to the tunes lingering ballads of heroism, romance and tragedy of the local heroes.
The major attractions of the Desert Festival of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan include snake charmers, puppeteers, acrobats, folk performers, etc. Especially, the Gair and Fire dancers, in their vibrant and colorful costumes, capture your heart. However, amongst all these, the ship of the desert, camel does not loses its special place. Apart from the camel rides that are quite popular, camels take part in a number of events. Of them, the most famous and unique ones are camel polo and camel dance.
Other events include the turban tying competition and a display of the most glorious moustaches. Turbans and mustaches are deemed to be the symbols of honor in the state of Rajasthan. Then, there is a Mr. Desert contest that further adds to the enjoyment. With the fascinating Jaisalmer Fort and the sand dunes serving as the backdrop, the celebrations gain an added advantage. There are also brilliant performances by the folk artists, dancing elegantly to the tunes of the folk music. Traditional handicrafts of Rajasthan are also traded at the fair.
Mewar Festival: The Mewar Festival is celebrated in the Hindu month of Chaitra (March-April). It is organized to mark the beginning of the spring season. Rajasthan Mewar Festival overlaps with the Gangaur festival. A procession carrying the images of Isar and Gangaur, ornamented and dressed in colorful attire, is taken at the time of the festival. The procession goes through the various areas of Udaipur and comes to an end at the Gangaur Ghat of Lake Pichola. Thereafter, the images are moved on to special boats. After this whole process is over, cultural events take over the celebration of the festival. Rajasthan folk songs, dances and other programs take the center stage. The festival concludes with a remarkable display of fireworks.
