Fresh from an interview, Aubrey Latham was juggling flowers, an MVP trophy and an ECC All-Star award in her arms Thursday night when she managed to stick out her right hand to greet another well-wisher.
Fresh from an interview, Aubrey Latham was juggling flowers, an MVP trophy and an ECC All-Star award in her arms Thursday night when she managed to stick out her right hand to greet another well-wisher.
"Do you want to put down some of your S.W.A.G?" she was asked.
The Fitch High School senior outside hitter thought for a second, then reneged.
"No," she said, her smile as wide as the East Lyme gymnasium. This wasn't just Stuff We All Get, mind you. "I'm holding onto this."
The Falcons hadn't let go of it all night.
Check that: All season.
Following Latham's lead and a tenacious defense, top-seeded Fitch controlled from nearly start to finish in dismissing Norwich Free Academy, 3-0, to capture its first Eastern Connecticut Conference tournament volleyball title in four years and fifth under head coach Steve Banks.
Defense the key
And it was hardly orthodox. Latham, the championship game's MVP, finished with just five kills and fellow First Team ECC Large All-Star, Devyn Frank, had just seven with five blocks.
In fact, no Falcon outside of setter Kaitlin Merrow (20 assists) even approached the gaudy numbers of NFA stars Kastine Evans (13 kills, 13 assists) and Katie Wilson (18 kills, two aces).
But while aggressive and at times overpowering, the Falcons (18-3) were also mechanical in keeping left-for-dead plays alive long enough to force the No. 3 Wildcats (14-7) into mistakes.
Latham finished with 11 digs, Liz Mewha had eight and Courtney O'Hara — the calming influence on Fitch's side — played far bigger than her six kills and three blocks.
It all proved the difference in the sweep, scored 25-19, 25-17 and 25-22.
"That's the whole key, that's what this game is about," said Banks, wearing the same black Fitch volleyball T-shirt he wore four years earlier when the Falcons won the title as the No. 4 seed.
"It doesn't matter where you're playing ... if you keep the ball in play, the other team is eventually going to make mistakes. That was our whole goal — just keep on the attack, keep it in and make them make the errors."
Costly mistakes
NFA showed fight, leading early in the first game, and closing within two points at 16-14 in the third. But while Wilson was effective in the closing game, registering nine kills alone, the Wildcats' lack of consistent passing cost them more chances to get her opportunities.
It also cost them leads. During one stretch in the final frame, NFA lost a 7-4 advantage by serving into the net, spiking it into the net and then bumping the net on consecutive series. Fitch registered 11 of the game's next 14 points, and NFA never led again.
"There's probably no game you can play where momentum can take over like this one," NFA coach Bill Howard said. "One team gets on a little bit of a roll and you can get caught up in that momentum. If you're the team on the roll, you can really feed off that. If you're the team being rolled over, you can kind of get caught in the wake a little bit."
A deeper Fitch squad also rolled out too many weapons. With the score tied at 13 in the first game, Nikki Bowski started a five-point rally with one of her seven kills. She spearheaded a similar stretch in the second game, and Latham — who "just played an all-around outstanding game" — led the rest of a balanced Falcon attack.
"Last year," Latham said, "it was awful losing" to East Lyme, which had won the last three ECC tournament titles. "And I did not want to go (out) with that again.
"I wanted this so bad. And we got it."

In North Sumatra, Indonesia, it rains more often than it doesn't. The city of Medan regularly records 2.2 metres of annual precipitation, and so the locals often joke that there is no such thing as a 'dry season'. In such a weather-challenged environment, local aggregates producer PT. Bangun Mitra Abadi needs machines that can handle the rain and the flooding with minimal downtime. In fact, this is doubly important given it often digs for stones in local rivers. Surya Ichsan, owner of PT. Bangun Mitra Abadi, said maintaining a regular supply of aggregates is essential to keeping the development of local infrastructure on track. "We produce aggregates that are used to construct buildings in Medan, and roads in Barus and Stabat-all vital infrastructure for the area's development," he said. "So it's important for us to select strong equipment, like the Volvo EC210D excavator, to ensure smooth operations." On site since April 2017, the EC210D excavator works eight hours daily to support the impressive output of PT. Bangun Mitra Abadi. Each day the company produces some 600 tons of base course, as well as splitting 350 tons of stones and loading an impressive 1,200 tons of materials. "We really appreciate the contribution of the EC210D to our overall productivity," Ichsan said. "The machine's superior performance, helps us deliver material to clients on time while using only 12 to 18 liters of fuel per hour." Designed to increase productivity and reduce fuel consumption, the robust EC210D features a maximum slew speed of 12.3 r/min and maximum slew torque of 76.7 kNm. Up to 1.22 m3 of bucket capacity is available while overall maximum operating weight is 22,800 kg. Equipped with a Volvo D5E engine, the EC210D provides superior performance. And in addition to its impressive technical specifications, the design of the EC210D focuses on delivering the best possible working environment for the operator. "Our operators appreciate the EC210D's comfortable seats, air conditioning and radio inside the cab," Ichsan continued. "While these might seem like small details, they actually help boost morale and productivity, and our operators look forward to working in the machine." The EC210D can be equipped with either a top or side mounted Volvo hydraulic breaker to handle even most demanding materials, delivering consistent power and high breaking force. The Volvo-designed hydraulic breaker/shear piping and quick coupler piping option provide optimum flow to the hydraulic attachments. State-of-the-art auxiliary lines allow the correct flow and pressure for special attachments. Established in 2010 PT Bangun Mitra Abadi is an aggregates producer based in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The company purchased its EC210D excavator from Volvo Construction Equipment's dealer for the local area, PT. Indotruck Utama.

GutzBusta® Round Bale Hay Nets
Large range of sizes - 3 x 4/4 x 4, 5 x 4 or 6 x 4 round bales (size in feet). All sizes are black in colour, despite colour in photos.
Don't waste your hay, order a GutzBusta today!
Reduce the incidence of colic, choke, stomach ulcers, boredom, hay wastage, stable vices but simulate grazing.
New design means they are larger and easier to put on and will fully encapsulate the bale if you want it to.
How do I decide what size will suit my horse or livestock?
3cm - Great for really Gutzy eaters. Ponies, laminitic horses or if your hay is REALLY palatable and you want to slow consumption even more. Recommended for horses and ponies that have tried slow feed hay nets before as some horses may be frustrated by this size, others accept it without hesitation. Despite no top teeth, we have customers whose cattle can still eat from this size net with palatable hay. Available in 48ply.
4cm - Our most popular hole size. Great to slow down feeding and save on hay wastage plus many other health benefits. Available in 48ply and 60ply. Good general purpose hole size, 95% or horses have no trouble accepting this size net hole. Good size for cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys and alpacas too.
6cm - Great for brood mares, old horses or any horse, cow, sheep or goat that you aren't trying to restrict hay consumption with but still stop hay wastage. Please note to make sure the hoof size is greater than the hole size. A hay ring or physical barrier is recommended if this is a concern. Also great for less palatable hay, coarse or stalky hay. Also stops hay from being blown away. Available in 60ply.
Why use a GutzBusta for your horse or livestock?
Decreases wastage of a round bale amazingly and also allows round bale to last longer. Up to 40% less wastage when using a GutzBusta® Round Bale hay net. Easy to place net over round bale. I have found one round bale lasts our 3-4 horses 7-15 days (depending on how cold weather is).
Easier to put on than many competitors hay nets as we have been making these nets for nearly 7 years and know how the netting behaves over time. We therefore have developed a size and pattern that works to enable these nets to last and REMAIN easy to fit in years to come. Comes with a large drawstring to easily secure the hay net around your round bale.
Sizes Available:
Round bales and Large Square Export Bales – Available in 3cm, 4cm and 6cm sized holes:
4x4 $127.50 (48ply) 4cm holes (black in colour) - (will also fit a 3x4)
6x4 $160.00 (48ply) 3cm holes (black in colour) - 'one size fits all'
6x4 $147.50 (60ply) 6cm holes (green or black in colour) - 'one size fits all'
All of our round bale hay nets are now able to fully encapsulate the round bales of hay as we have done a revamp of all product sizes. These nets are now more generous in sizing and super easy to put on the round bales. Tight nets on bales might look good initially, but to keep our products easy to use throughout their entire life, we recognized they needed to be a bit bigger, so they are all true to size. For example: if you only ever use 4x4 hay rolls, then you only need a 4x4 hay net.
Please note that the 6x4 is a 'one size fits all hay net' and will fit all sizes of round bales listed above. Obviously it will be big on a 4x4, but the excess netting can simply be rolled up along one edge of the net and tied off in a couple of sections using twine to take up the slack. We send instructions on how to do this.
Please note that ANY of the GutzBusta® 6x4 round bales will fit the 8x4x3 & 8x3x3 LARGE SQUARE Hay Nets. This makes them a truly versatile, cost effective and multi-functional hay net.

More about GutzBusta Slow Feed Hay Nets
As of August 2016, ALL sizes of our hay nets have had a revamp with a new draw string material used and more importantly, they have all had a size increase. Our hay nets are now the most generous sized hay nets in Australia. They all have wide mouths that make filling much easier. As we have been making them for over 6 years now, we know how they nets respond with 24/7 use and have made adjustments to make sure your hay nets remain easy to fill, and the best available on the market. Our Larges are unique to all other slow feed hay nets in Australia in ease of use and design.
- Square mesh pattern which means that no matter how much or how little hay is inside the net, they are always easy to eat out of it, unlike diamond shaped holes that collapse down on themselves as the hay net empties.
- They are made from UV stabilized, pre-stretched polyethylene netting. They are tough and strong.
- These nets have over-locked side stitching along the side seams to make them a tough and durable Hay Net. All nets have been designed by us and we have worked out the best sizes to suit Australian conditions. We have been making these nets for over 7 years and thanks to customer feedback, we have developed a hay net superior to others available in Australia. They are very generous in sizing with wide mouths to allow them to be easily filled.
- New 60ply available in 4cm and 6cm sizes (not available in 3cm). 60ply is a heavier duty netting material and is therefore stronger for those horses that are hard on things. Horses that paw a lot, pull at rugs, chew things, young horses or a few horses sharing the same net would all benefit from the 60ply. The 48ply has served both our own horses and many clients very well over the years, but some horses require a bit more strength in the 4cm.
- There are no metal joins of any sort on these nets, so nothing harmful for your horse to chew. All nets come with a polyethylene draw string that is easy to tie and untie knots with. If a hole does start from getting caught on something, they are easily repaired, and all nets are supplied with a repair string (just like good quality jackets/jumpers come with a piece of extra thread).
Hay Nets (hole sizes) available across the entire GutzBusta Range
- 4cm x 4cm square holes (1.5" square) - 48 and 60ply and are called our "Moderator's"
- 3cm x 3cm square holes (1" square) - 48ply and are called our "Decelerator's"
- 6cm x 6cm square holes (2.3" square) - 60ply - in round bale & large export square bale sizes only.
Other sizes Available - in 4cm (60ply) and 3cm (48ply) sized holes:
Small - Takes up to 3 generous biscuits of hay.
Medium - Takes up to 6+ biscuits or half small bale
Large - Takes a full small bale
Do not leave buckled halters or other type of buckled head gear on your horse when using ANY type of hay net as your horse may get caught. If your horse is shod then simply tie your net up a little higher or put your net inside a box or other device that stops their feet coming into contact with their hay net. Similarly, do not let horned animals such as cattle, sheep or goats eat from the hay nets as they may tear the netting or get entangled.

I will be taking a mini hiatus from blogging as I am leaving for vacation this weekend! I am going on a cruise with my husband, parents, in-laws, sibling, and a large group of people. I am the "travel agent" aka organizer so the past year of planning has been busy! We are traveling on Norwegian who does their best to cater to my husbands GF needs. I'm sure I will have many stories to share when we get back in 2 weeks.
Now is a great time to go through your fridge and pantry and toss all foods that expired in 2012. What did you stock up on last year that just didn't make the cut and you're now stuck with?
Happy New Year!

Judy Edwards
College and Career Center Specialist
Lake Braddock Secondary School (VA)
How long have you been in admissions/college counseling?
I have been working in college advising for 14 years at Lake Braddock Secondary School. I absolutely love my job! I started working at LBSS 18 years ago as an instructional assistant, after being a military stay at home wife/mom. A year later I started working in the office of School Counseling as the registrar and was very fascinated as to what our Career Center position had to offer.
How did you get started in college counseling?
I applied for the position three times before the job was offered to me. On two occasions applicants with direct experience were selected over me. I never was discouraged I learned from those folks and I guess it paid off, third time was a charm and I was selected. In the last 14 years I have had the pleasure of serving on numerous college advisory boards, mentored four new FCPS Career Center Specialist and have become very involved in PCACAC serving various committees.
The job is never boring and you learn something new every day. The opportunity to travel and meet new people is just one of the many perks of the position. Watching students develop a plan and achieve their goal is one of the most rewarding experiences to witness. I enjoy working with the students helping them explore post-secondary options. I value the relationships I have fostered working the wonderful college admissions folks from all kinds of colleges. You meet some of the most hardest working people in the world and their passion to help students is never ending. I have made some of my most cherished friends through this position.
What's your favorite admissions /counseling memory?
That's a tough one to answer. I have had so many wonderful memories of students accomplishments. My very first year I had student who did not get into her first choice school, she was crushed, I tired consoling her and found myself in tears along with her. Four years later I happen to be on a greater Pennsylvania college tour and was visiting the school she was a senior. I ask the admissions folks if it was possible to meet with her and they were able to contact her and she came and had lunch with me. When she arrived she was in a beautiful dark navy suit she looked confident and beaming; she had just presented her Senior thesis for graduation. She said to me, "Do you remember the day I sat in your office, crying about not getting into my first choice school?" I said, "Yes I do". She smiled and said to me, " you were right it did work out the way it was supposed to, I cannot imagine having gone to any other school and could not be more happier about my college choice." I smiled and said, I am so glad you feel this way. She now has her PH.D and teaching at a university on the west coast. I have many more memories and I cherish and keep them close to my heart.
What advice would you give to someone looking to pursue leadership or membership in PCACAC and NACAC?
Do not wait! The resources available are limitless and there is always someone willing to help you along the way or guide you in the right direction. Start small and things will evolve as you feel comfortable. There are some amazing people who are part of these organizations. Great networking opportunities with both these organizations.
If not working in admissions/college counseling. What else could you see yourself pursuing?
I would like to work at a college/university Career Center.
What's one thing that most people don't know about you?
I recently have been introduced to country music and I have fallen in love! I have had the pleasure of seeing several country singers in concert and I am hooked: Lady Antebellum, Hunter Hayes, Garth Brook, Trisha Yearwood, Sam Hunt, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley, and I have tickets to see Luke Bryan in June.
What's a current trend or future issue you're passionate about right now?
Testing! I think it is wonderful that so many schools are going test optional and taking into consideration a four hour test on a Saturday morning will not measure a student's potential success in college. It is refreshing to see schools put more value on demonstrated work in the classroom than a test. Don't get me wrong there is value in both the SAT/ACT but for some students is not an an accurate measure of performance to be admitted to a college.

More Bike Articles
Let's be honest. The Scott Tigua isn't the sort of bike that you lie awake at night dreaming about. It isn't expensive. It doesn't have suspension. While the paint job is tasteful, it doesn't elicit admiring glances from passers by. The tires are better suited to street use and the odd canal towpath than serious off-road work. No, this is the sort of bike you buy because it's reasonably priced and you think it'll do the job. The only question is, how well does it do its job?
The Tigua is the entry point to Scott's Solution series: a line of bikes designed for women. The fact that it's a women's bike seems well known. A few times I've had people coming up to me to talk to me about it and ask me how I get on with it.
The frame is straight-gauge 7005 aluminium in a standard diamond. There's no fancy bending of seatstay or exotic tube shapes, although there are some nice cutouts at the rear dropouts. There's a gusset on the underside of the down tube at the head tube, but it's welded at the end as well as along the edges, which concentrates stress at the end weld. At least it looks the part. It has a plain curved steel fork which is extra tall, so if you replace it with a suspension fork the geometry shouldn't get too messed up. The paintwork is neat, but not very durable: the cables of my lights rubbed through it on one night ride. It has all the braze-ons for rack and mudguards, although the tall fork would make attachment of a full front mudguard a fiddle.
The wheels are decent, although budget. The "Formula RBP" hubs are alloy, and there are 32 14-gauge stainless spokes laced to Alex rims. The rims are a simple U shape, without eyelets, and the braking surface isn't all that wide, making precise alignment of brakes a necessity. The surprising thing about the wheels is that despite the basic components, the quality of the wheelbuilding is excellent. These are very well-tensioned wheels, and as long as the hubs don't go belly-up I expect them to give good service until the sidewalls wear thin. I don't know if this quality of wheelbuilding is standard for Scott, or if it was tweaked by the shop I got the bike from, Bothy Bikes in Aviemore.
Since this is a woman's bike, it's worth examining how well it fulfills that role. See my article on What to look for in a women's bike. First, let's consider the top tube length. I have the 17.5" model, the second smallest. Its top tube is, according to the geometry charts, 53.5cm (about 21") long. The charts for my old Trek 950 (a non women-specific MTB) list its top tube as 56cm (22") long. However in reality, the head tube is the same distance from the seat tube on both bikes. Trek gives the "effective top tube" measurement, which is how long the top tube would be if it were horizontal, while Scott gives the actual length of the tube which is shorter. If you measure the "effective top tube" length of the Scott you find it's also 56cm (22").
So the Tigua isn't a real winner here, but it is quite short for a Scott. The geometry charts list the 17.5" Sport models as having a 55.5cm top tube, and the Racing versions a 56cm top tube. Assuming the same method of measuring, that would be a heck of a stretch. In contrast, the 17" versions of Trek's women's specific 6500 and 8000 have effective top tubes of 53.4cm (21"). So if you're looking for a really short reach, look to Trek.
Returning to my two bikes, the top tube on the Scott slopes more than the Trek. Although the seat tubes of the bikes are the same length, the top tube on the Scott joins the seat tube well below the top. This gives you more crotch clearance, but prevents the use of a big waterbottle on the seat tube. Not a problem if you're a Camelbak fan.
Now let's look to the handlebar and stem to see what sort of a riding position you'll get. The Tigua comes with a fashionable (although heavy steel) riser bar. At 24" it's of moderate width, and it should help to bring the grips up and back to the rider. However as soon as I sat on the bike I felt way too stretched. It's the stem at fault. It's 115mm long with almost no rise. Since the headset is threadless and there is only a slim spacer, there is no chance for height adjustment. What is this doing on a small ladies bike? My old Trek, not specifically designed for women, came with a stem of the same rise but a centimeter shorter. Since it didn't have a threadless headset, I could raise the stem by quite a bit. I wonder if Scott had some leftover stems from their mens race bikes, and they stuck them on the Tigua to get rid of them. Whatever, it certainly doesn't belong. My local bike shop sorted me out with a stem about 85mm long and with about a 20degree rise. Ah, much better.
A quick trip around the block told me that the Scott Solution saddle didn't suit me. Now, women usually have wider sit bones than men, and I certainly don't have a very slim backside. But this saddle was too wide for me, getting in the way of my legs and preventing me from getting the weight properly over the sit bones. So I ditched it. Instead I put on a plastic-covered Bontrager FS+10 which I find works well for me: it's not too wide or narrow, and it has a fair amount of padding, but not so much that I sink in.
Something that ought to feature on women's bike, but rarely does, is short cranks. These are needed because women, being on average shorter than men, typically have shorter legs. I find I get on best with 165mm cranks, and I have put these on my Trek. I can tolerate the 170mm cranks that come on all sizes of the Tigua, but anyone who's small enough to ride the 16" would be much better off with shorter cranks.
After getting the bike sufficiently adjusted to suit me, I slapped on some clipless pedals and took it for a ride. Quite a few rides in fact, over a couple of months. At first it impressed me by being quite nimble in the singletrack. It's not particularly light (about 28 pounds according to my bathroom scale), but the riser bars really help with control. My Trek has flat bars, just shy of 23", with bar ends. I found with the risers I got alot more leverage to both guide the front wheel and to lean the bike into the curves. Before trying this bike I hadn't been a fan of riser bars, dismissing them as simply the current fashion. But hey, they work. At least these ones do. I still don't think I'd get along with the ultra-wide bars you get on some bikes.
The bike is at its best in smooth, twisty tracks. Taken out on rough surfaces, you either find a line between the bumps or you get jolted about and have to struggle to keep the bike on course.
I was quite pleased with the shifting, provided by Gripshift ESP 5.0 shifters and rear derailleur, with Shimano sneaking in with an Acera front mech. This was my first experience with Gripshift, and I found I get along with it very well. I like the fact the I don't even have to move my hands to shift: just tighten a couple of fingers and twist. Simple. Gear changes were usually reliable, but a couple of times it acted up in the mud, refusing to shift. Similarly, the brakes work fine too, although they're currently in a squealing mood and I need to sort them out.
The tires weren't quite up to off-road riding. Scott seemed to be assuming (not unreasonably) that this bike would be used mostly on the road. So it came with tires that are almost perfectly smooth in the middle, with a row of knobblies on the edges. The knobblies do help provide grip in corners, but they don't help much when you're going straight over soft ground: staying upright becomes more a matter of balance than traction. For winter use I've swapped in some skinny 1.7" mud tires. They give far superior grip, and at about 500 grams each, they reduce the weight of the bike almost 1 pound per tire (the original tires were a porky 900 grams).
In summary, this is a great bike to get you out on the trails. With the exception of a far too long and low stem, the geometry is good, and as long as you put some knobbly tires on it it'll attack the singletrack with enthusiasm. Simply put, it is great fun. I didn't expect to like it this much, so I'm surprised to find myself ignoring my heavily upgraded Trek to take out the Scott when the tracks aren't too technical. Since the Tigua has a pretty good frame, you can upgrade at your leisure to make the bike lighter and more suitable for difficult terrain (via things like clipless pedals and a suspension fork).
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The Tigua I have is the 1999 version. The 2000 version has been significantly revamped. The most noticiable changes are in the frame, which is used for all but the top bike in the Solution series. The color and shapes of the frame tubes of the new Tigua really catch the eye. My bike is a mild-mannered black and white with red bits. The new Tigua is a vibrant orange and blue-black. You wouldn't think that tube shapes would catch anyone's attention, but these certainly do. They are flattened and squashed into some interesting profiles that change along the length of the tubes (Scott calls this Bi-Axial tubing). This certainly adds interest to the look of the frame, although I don't know whether it changes the ride of the bike. There are lots of other changes too when you look closely. Gone is Gripshift, replaced by a basic Shimano drivetrain. The wheels are now shod in MTB semi-slicks instead of the fat slicks, which should result in better grip off-road. The threadless headset has been replaced by an old-fashioned threaded one, although at least the stem is a much more appropriate 85mm length and can be raised.
The geometry and riser bar seem to be unchanged, so I expect the new Tigua will be just as fun slaloming down the singletrack. In addition the orange bits and cool tube profiling will help prevent those boring bike blues. Thus the new Tigua is likely to be as good an investment as the old: a bike that will get you rolling right away, with a frame that is worthy of upgrades should you choose to make them.

Update 2003
Now that I have a baby I'm spending lots more bicycle time hauling my daughter around town than slaloming along singletrack, and so the Scott has been revamped into a round-town bike. This bike is sufficiently flexible that this was an easy conversion to make, and it serves its new purpose marvellously. I am still an enthusiastic owner of this bicycle!

Jesus had sent the multitude away, and was now in a house in Capernaum. This may have been Peter's home.
Disciples' request
And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."
Sower, field, and seed
He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
Enemy, harvest, and reapers
The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
Eternal punishment
Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Righteous rewarded
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
Jesus gave a concise explanation. Note that the field is the world, not the church. So this parable does not prohibit church discipline.
Angels play an interesting role in this parable. They separate the good from the bad, and cast the evil ones into hell. Angels also play an important role in the Parable of the Net.
Matthew 13:36-43

Who's Your Daddy? Am I the child's parent?
Who's Your Daddy?
Am I the child's parent?
Strange as it may seem, we do not see too many women through our door asking how they would know or be able to prove if they are a child's legal and biological parent. We do however experience the question raised quite often by men.
In our experience as Family Lawyers in Brisbane that men are approached by current or former partners to request they contribute financially to raise their child. Some men wish to prove a lack of paternity to negate their obligations in this regard.
Other fathers will seek to prove paternity of a child to establish a right to spend time with that child. Many men in these situations come to us in a bid to understand their legal rights and the rights of a person seeking to prove paternity.
A mother can request a male she suspects to be the father of a child undertake a simple DNA test from a certified laboratory for such testing to establish parentage. If the father accepts it is often accepted that the mother pay for such a test.
Should the man suspected of being the father refuse to take a DNA test, then the mother will be required to make an application to the Family Court of Australia to seek a declaration of paternity.
A Court may order that a male whom it suspects could be the father of a child take a DNA test.
Enforcement of the order (forcing the male to undertake the test under threat of penalty) is not possible, however the fact that the male chose not to undertake a DNA test will be considered when deciding whether to make a declaration that the male is or is not the father of a particular child. In such circumstances the Court may make a declaration that the male is the father of the child and he may then be liable to pay child support. The only way to prove otherwise is for the father to undertake DNA testing and apply to the Court for a declaration that he is not the father of the child. So a suspected father may chance his luck however it is likely that he will not escape his obligations and after further time and cost will be proven liable to support their child.

Very new to this. I'm currently on the cleanse part (I'm doing Option 3, but for 2 weeks, to compensate for not doing the irrigation or the… you know… starving myself…). I'm 11 days in.
I've been having steamed greens every morning for breakfast, but to keep it interesting for myself, and to insert a little Cayenne into my diet, I've been making a raw tomato sauce to put on it. Just a little tinned tomato puree (No Citric Acid, it's Roma brand, just tomato and salt), a little sea salt, pepper, a little cayenne (I lashed it in one morning. That was a very abrupt wake up!), and a teensy bit of apple cider vinegar, mixed in with cold water, and put over the hot veg.
It's actually very tasty and fills me up nicely for the morning, but I was just wondering if at all sounds ok to the Candida experts?
It's all going well so far, although I had to drop a few things during the week. (Are salted cashews alright? It's not on your Don't List, but I suspect anything that delicious has to be delicious to fungus as well…. I dropped it just in case.)
Anywho, this has turned into a very long post. Very happy to find a resource like this!September 22, 2011 at 2:56 am #65482
Oh, also, is it ok to eat organic probiotic sugar free yoghurt during the cleanse, or should I save it for Stage 1?September 22, 2011 at 9:46 am #65487

Generally I don't like to advocate canned foods of any type. However, if you're using a small amount of the puree and receiving no reaction from it, I suppose using it once or twice a week woudn't be too harmful, hopefully.
Nuts should be left out of the detox period and for as long as possible afterwards.
I believe I addressed your yogurt question on your other post:
"After about three weeks from starting the detox/diet, and depending on how you're doing at the time, you could try testing organic non-sweetened Greek yogurt."

I am no expert. I am two weeks on the diet. But from what I gather, the reason why canned tomatoes are not okay is due to the citric acid. If there isn't any in there than sounds to me like problem solved. However, I try to stay away from canned products because the cans are coated with BPA, which is a harmful chemical – but also chemicals can disrupt your friendly bacteria and allow the Candida yeast to flourish (according to this website).September 24, 2011 at 12:43 pm #65529
Ah, I see. That is a good point. Thank you.

Ways to make a business plan? Ways to make a financing strategy? These are one of the most frequently asked questions in business globe. Especially brand-new business owners face this basic issue just before starting his or her very own company. Here is the basic guidelines for making a company diet plan and a finance diet plan.
The word entrepreneurship has been originated from a French origin meanings that" to carry out". It is also called by different names, e.g. adventurism, risk taking, thrill looking for, innovating, and so on
. So, exactly what is the business owner definition? A business owner is merely an individual that starts a new business as well as assumes all obligation for it. There is very little to beginning your own business. You just should have to choose what it is that you intend to do and the most effective means to proceed by doing some research. If you are doing a net company, after that you have a bunch of company chance alternatives to pick from.
As an entrepreneur, you should certainly sweat even more by mob as considerably details as feasible regarding the firm recommendations. True sufficient, franchise is completely an obvious concept. By picking this venture option, you responsibility be the one in charge of your personal company and you responsibility gain unrestricted earnings.
With an annual turnover of Sh50 million, the 32 year old entrepreneur recalls how tough the journey was in the beginning citing that he had to move from his two bed-roomed house to a bed–sitter…
Financial investment is a specialized ground entrepreneurs take because investment is various. Below, you are providing assistance through cash. All you wish to do is supply cash and leave the work to more eager entrepreneurs. This way a financial investment business owner makes passive revenue with their money.
Finally, effective entrepreneurs dedicate to continual self-improvement. Both in regards to modern technology and also business abilities and also brainstorming and also masterminding for proceeded, future prosperity.
One renowned entrepreneur which graduated from Stanford is Vinod Khosla, the Co-founder of Sun Microsystems and also founder of the VC company Khosla Ventures. Khosla is an Indian-born American investor as well as has a prominent function in Silicon Valley.
Normally a financial investment entrepreneur will have large amounts of money as well as consequently this area is booked for those that have already put in the job as well as made their red stripes through a large seed resources account. However not constantly. Being a financial investment entrepreneur is the divine grail for entrepreneurs due to the fact that this is where the large money lies and also this is where the passive income is. Knowing the best ways to make your money work for you as opposed to working for the money is what all business owners eventually understand. It is just what all entrepreneurs ultimately become.
Older business owners have an advantage over more youthful entrepreneurs considering that older entrepreneurs tend to have more encounter to attract from as well as much more assets with which to fund a company. The bumps and scrapes of life are a stern instructor.
Lots of writers have dedicated their time to defining the best skills as well as qualities of a successful business owner. Some have managed to identify particular skills, some just asked yourself around each them, comparing and also identifying others to play with the question: What defines a successful business owner? The answer to this inquiry came to be much more vital after the results of the Dun.

Today we're going to talk about gaskets and seals. These terms are generally used interchangeably. After all, gaskets seal a joint…so they're the same, aren't they?
Gaskets vs. Seals
The terms "gaskets" and "seals" are often used interchangeably. The fundamental difference is that a gasket is a physical piece that goes between two flanges to create a seal at a joining point between two components. A gasket is a seal. "Seals" is a category that encompasses many types of seals. In addition to gaskets, there are rotary seals, O-ring seals, liquid sealants, mechanical seals, shaft seals, valve stem seals, and packings, just to name a few.
Seals are generally moulded or machined product, often flat and round such as an O-ring. Gaskets are cut into different shapes so that they fit the design and bolt spacing of a component.
Gaskets are used to seal two components or flanges that have a flat surface. Seals are used to describe parts that are used between engine parts, pumps and shafts that rotate. Gaskets are used as static seals.
When a Seal is used between engine parts, pumps and shafts that rotate, it is described as a dynamic seal. Seals are required to keep leaks from occurring within a moulded or machined product.
When a gasket breaks down or a machine is serviced the gaskets need replacing. A seal within a bearing needs complete replacement of both the seal and bearing if there is a seal breakdown.
Now You Know
This has been a very general explanation of this topic, but hopefully it has provided some insight into a basic definition of sealing mechanisms. To sum up, a gasket is a seal, but a seal isn't necessarily a gasket.
If you have any interest in gaskets and seals, I recommend that you can visit Chain Yeeh Industrial Co., Ltd. – the company specializes in kinds of rubber parts. Get more details about Chain Yeeh, please feel free to contact them at 886-4-865-3322.

I do not have any specific plans for my kids during the birth. Maybe they'll watch movies or maybe they'll be in the birth room, or hopefully, the can sleep through most of the labor. The big boys got to see when Baird was born, and we know that Liesel wants to see her sister be born. The other day we asked the boys if they would like to us to wake them up for the birth, or if they'd like to sleep and be surprised in the morning. Aslan said he'd like to watch, and Shiloh wanted to sleep and be surprised. James agreed to wake Aslan, but then the boys switched beds, and then switched back a few night later. James mentioned that he needs to know who is sleeping in each bed so he doesn't wake up the wrong person! Aslan solved this problem by writing a note and taping it as high on his door as he could reach.
Liesel took notice of the note and asked what it said. James explained it to her and then she wanted one of her own on her door so we would be sure not to forget that she wants to be woken up! James wrote the words exactly as she insisted and then she added her name.
I love the cute notes kids write!
This morning, though, Liesel insisted that hers said something like, "Wake up Liesel in the high bunk," which actually makes a lot more sense. The boys, who can read, wanted to turn it into a big argument and so I tried to explain to them that we let 4-year-olds tell us what their work says, not the other way around! I didn't want Liesel's feelings hurt, and I definitely didn't want her to take down the sign to change it! Then Shiloh noticed that 'wake' was spelled differently on the two signs and Aslan quickly discovered that his actually said, 'whak' which he laughed and laughed about. When I asked him to leave it as it was because everyone could still understand it, he just requested of James that he not 'whack' him to wake him up. James promised to comply. I wouldn't mind him correcting it now because I know that good habits are important, but at that time I hadn't even gotten my photo yet and I wanted to be able to capture it in its original cuteness.

Did you know coffee is consumed at the rate of 1400 million cups per day? According to a recent Pressat survey, people in highly stressful professions are the biggest coffee drinkers: journalists, police officers and teachers. These coffee addicts often consume four cups a day; how many do you drink daily? Regardless of profession, a cup o' joe is a staple for many in the morning. But if you're a Starbucks regular and you're watching your wallet, you may want to consider making your French vanilla latte at home. Studies show that if you have Starbucks everyday, you will spend approximately $7,000 over a 10-year period.
Here are a few more interesting facts about Starbucks coffee to keep in mind:
1. If you skipped Starbucks everyday for a year, you'd be able to buy a round trip ticket to San Francisco from New York.
2. In five years, you'll see a Starbucks as frequently in China as you do in New York City.
3. Starbucks earned approximately $10.7 billion in sales alone last year. They have 16,850 shops in 40 countries around the world. Lesson learned: if you're going to sell something, it pays for it to be addictive yet legal.
So journalists, police officers, teachers and everyone else, we hope your Starbucks addiction is under control. Let's aim for that West Coast trip instead!

Well, we started the demolition of the original coop that was on our property. There were just too many things wrong with it to try to salvage it. First off, poor construction led to most of the wood being rotted. All of the roofing was rotted, however we were able to save the 2x4 studs. The entire coop was open to the elements so it wasn't really conducive to what we were looking for. Also, for some reason the previous builder actually stapled the chicken wire to the nesting boxes and had the wire wrapped around the coop twice. I am assuming they did it that way so they wouldn't have to invest in any hardware cloth. The coop was also located back behind the house, hidden in the woods - which would make it not only impossible to see but poised a greater threat to predators!! Over all it just isn't what we were looking to have. We chose a spot on our property that has a 10' x 20' concrete slab - I think it was used to house a dog at one point in time - not sure. Regardless, I can see the slab from the kitchen window (a spot I spend a lot of time in) and it has more access to light & there's a water pump right next to it! My husband is still drawing up plans as we (well mostly me) keep changing our ideas. For now, our plan is to have a coop that is 10x20, completely enclosed. There will be two back entrances - one to the hatchery/rooster area, the other to the layers; and one front entrance that will open up to our 200sq ft enclosed run. This run will be for the times when we are away and the girls aren't going to be free ranging. We have an old play set that he is planning on tearing down and using the "cabin" to create an isolation coop that will be able to connect to the "main" coop for when we have new birds or in the event of an illness. There will also be a separate run. The birds will be able to see one another but not close enough to "touch", etc...
We are planning to find as much recycled material as possible so we can splurge on the hardware cloth to keep predators out. I know for a fact that we have a fox and a skunk in the area - I saw them the other night!! We live in a very remote & isolated spot - down a dirt path where our house & 3 acres are literally cut out of the woods, we have more land but...it's wooded. So essentially we are smack dab in the middle of a forest!! Very private, quiet but with it brings a lot more predators. We have heard, but not seen coyotes and I have witnessed a grey spotted hawk or falcon - we'll say a bird of prey - hanging out in our yard. I didn't mind then because I knew it was hunting the mice near our compost pile, but now that we are planning on getting some chickens...now I am worried! I plan to scope out the Habitat for Humanity Resale shop and see what kind of deals/materials I can get and then work on finding a way to get them to our house. My husband keeps using this as excuse to inform me that he NEEDS a truck. I told him once the coop is built and the chickens are here....then we'll talk.
As for chickens, so far we have someone holding a few Buff & Lavender Orpingtons. I wanted a good hardy breed that was a dual purpose chicken, in addition to being docile. We have a 8mo old (almost) baby and more on the way, so we wanted to be sure that as the kids grow and take on the responsibility of helping to care for the "farm animals" (we plan to clear some land and have cows, pigs, goats, etc...CHICKENS first!!) that we didn't get a breed that was known for being a bit feisty. Granted ANY breed can be feisty, but we've heard nothing but positives about them. I'd also like to get a couple of Jersey Giants, Australops (I think that's what they are called) and Wayndottes (again, I think that's what they're called...not sure about spelling..YET)
So to give you an idea, this is what we are working with so far. This was at the end of day 1 demolition, where all of the studs that lined the coop horizontally were taken down and the rood was detached from the studs...therefore, the roof is just hanging out. We began to try to salvage the chicken wire, but the way it was cut and stapled, it doesn't look like much will be able to be saved. We will be able to salvage the nesting boxes hopefully and there are other metal nesting boxes hanging out next to the wood pile. [I was going to post a photo here, but I can't figure out how. haha. You will just have to wait until I learn] My husband is suppose to start working on building this weekend, so as he does...I will take pictures of the progress and post for all to see!!

A great finding of AOS team in Kulari area (Divjake-Karavasta National Park), A new colony of herons and cormorants was found yesterday, on the 28th of June 2015, in Divjake-Karavasta National Park. It is indeed a great finding since it is the only heronry in Albania as others further north (Drin delta and Velipoja) have disappeared since almost 20 years ago. The colony is located in Kulari area, bordered by Shkumbini river in the north, swampy areas in the east, Terbufi channel in the south and former Shkumbini river in the west. Nests were built at the top of a flooded Tamarix forest, in a place that is also used as a roosting site for herons and cormorants.
Ç'lloj shpendësh gjallonin dikur në Tiranë? Po sot? Pse u zhdukën e çfarë ka mbetur ende? Tirana e dikurshme dhe ajo e sotmja, mes betonizimit ekstrem mbi 20-vjeçar që i mori gjithçka, që i masakroi trupin, duke i rrudhur gjithmonë e më shumë hapësirat e blerta. Ndërtimtaria absurde e pa asnjë planifikim, mes së cilës humbi shumëçka, ashtu si edhe cicërimat e zogjve.
Birdwatching & Sketching 3. 5. 2015
About 50 young people joined today the initiative Birdwatching BW and Bird Sketching in the activity organized by AOS and USK together with students of Polis University. The activity aimed to inform on bird richness and eco-tourism potentials of the Protected Area of Kune-Vain and wetlands in general. There were indeed surprises and difficulties, but it does not mean that we have to give up. On the contrary, we have a lot of work to carry on. Those potentials of nature and birds in particular are around us but we have to know and appreciate them much better.
Thank you everybody for the participation!

Companies that expose workers to chemicals need to have stringent safety procedures in place – or they may have to suffer the consequences such as formal health and safety complaints and occupational lawsuits.
In a recent example, a Galveston County man alleges he was exposed to a chemical leak while working as a security guard at a Texas City petrochemical plant almost two years ago, court documents say.
Acute exposure to naphthalene
In a lawsuit filed against Valero Refining-Texas LP, Marathon Petroleum Co. L.P. and Texas-New Mexico Power Co. on April 11, 2011, in Galveston County District Court, Karon Johnson claims he had an acute exposure to naphthalene on June 16, 2009.
Johnson patrolled the Marathon refinery at the time of the alleged leak. He says the chemicals wafted from the nearby Valero facility, according to the lawsuit.
The next day, the plaintiff reported to his employer that he was feeling limp, nauseous, fatigued, and achy and that he saw blood in his urine, the suit says.
Exposure to chemicals affected worker
According to the original complaint, Johnson claims he was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy — a weakening and enlargement of the heart — and chemical pneumonitis — a lung inflammation caused by inhaling irritants — citing the Valero release as "the legal cause of his injuries."
The suit faults Valero for failing to operate its refinery in a safe manner in compliance with the law, while Marathon is blamed for not preventing workplace hazards and TNMP is accused of not running their company safely.
"The defendants ignored the known obvious risks of harm, damages and losses that would result from an extended exposure to naphthalene-containing chemicals," the original petition says.
Consequently, Johnson sues for compensatory and exemplary damages. He also seeks a jury trial.
R.G. Taylor II & Associates is representing the plaintiff, and Galveston County 56th District Court Judge Lonnie Cox is presiding over the case.

Every once in a while, there will be that moment a Dungeon Master realizes something that just makes sense for the situation despite what the rules say. It could even be a clever player who notices something that makes perfect sense in retrospect. It could be introducing two characters to each other. It could be trying to cover the bad guy in grease and catch them on fire. Regardless, these situations can come up in different ways and pose different challenges. They are also massively beneficial and are part of the magic that makes tabletop gaming such an amazing experience in my humble opinion.
Dungeon Master
In Combat Movement
There are many actions that can be taken in combat, many of which may not seem to make sense from an action economy standpoint. However, they can make sense from a character standpoint. The bad guy might make a dash towards the person holding what they want, and provoking opportunity attacks all the way there. You might also get the idea to fall back to a more advantageous position you didn't see before.
Big Bad Motivations
Often times the bad guys can be in a bit of a haze state, especially at the start of the campaign. We'll know what we want them to do, and what they are generally like but we won't know too much beyond that. Why are they doing what they are doing? What can make them stop? These questions are often overlooked. This is even more common for high ranked underlings. However, in the right moment we can find things that work surprisingly well. It can also be characteristics that we previously didn't realize. If an ally forces us to either hold our fire or launch a fireball anyway, not only is it a tactical decision but also a decision about the character of the person making the choice. Is using magic missile probably worse from the perspective of winning? Yes, but using it instead says something about the character. Aiming to wound or scare player characters away is a similar sort of thing.
Connected Plots
I've mentioned this before but dangling multiple plots in front of a party can be an extremely useful strategy. There are also other ways that players can be involved in more than one plot. It could be that something they need to save the world is also needed for a local noble to state their claim, dragging them into political situations. One of the most common times something just makes sense for me is when I'm dealing with multiple plots. In a particularly inspired moment (well, it seems that way at the time at least) I'll have an idea how to connect them together. It could be two plots that were previously unconnected or it can be another connection to add to the fabric of the campaign.
I do have to also give a bit of a warning though. One of the useful things about dangling multiple plots in front of a party is to gently let the party decide what kind of game they want to have and what interests them. However, if we just tie plots together anyway we can remove the element of choice. Instead, it will give more of an illusion of freedom since we will just connect the plots that didn't make it anyway. Of course, if it happens once it probably isn't much of a big deal. However, if you do it enough times that your players will expect it, it will probably be an issue.
Have Paper Ready
While genius can strike in the moment, it can be difficult to remember after the fact. Keep some paper ready for when these kinds of decisions are made. It would be a shame to have a good idea in the moment, start setting stuff up and forget it.
In Combat Actions
Players, due to their decision making process being limit to their characters, often have a chance to more deeply think about their combat actions. While the rest of the party is taking their turn, players can still weigh their options. This often makes for rather creative attempts that aren't covered by the rules. These, more so than other situations, are particularly challenging.
Let's say a party member casts grease on an enemy and another party member tries to catch them on fire using a torch or a fire based cantrip (assuming D&D 5th edition rules). What happens next? The issue is, like I mentioned previously, we risk setting a precedent. While we want this to be effective since it is creative and takes two player turns, we also don't want it to be more effective than a fireball, for example. We also don't want it to be the default combat action going forward either. It should have advantages, disadvantages and also some level of situational dependence. Unfortunately, this is more of a skill than an art from my experience, is learned through practice, and will also be partially dependent on the group in question.
Often times many details are left until later when making a player character. Elements of backstory are a big one that come up often. If you are entering a campaign setting you've never even heard of before, it might take some time to get a handle on it so that you can make those specific details of your backstory. After spending some time in a certain area of with a particular character, however, inspiration can strike. Maybe this was their home city all along but they were trying to keep a low profile and didn't say anything before now. Maybe it turns out the player knows another character but since they were 8 years old at the time, they aren't recognized. Regardless of the means, that time being in a weeds tends to lead to that "oh, that makes sense" moment that helps the character get further developed. I've also seen plenty of players who like this kind of thing as a core part of their gameplay. They want to be thrown head first and improv their way through.

Spiritual Coaching Vol 3 #26 Beloved….
A week from today I get to play the role of the "Beloved Disciple" (John) in the Holy Thursday play/worship called the "Living Last Supper." Our director, Fran Milo, and her assistant, Mary Fridh, have done a great job of coaching us "don't quit your day job" cast members. It is moving to play this role for me knowing that Jesus had a close friends within the group of friends without any of the others feeling left out. I think that may be because Jesus was just so genuine and honest. Everyone needs a confidant – someone who can listen and empathize. Someone who withholds opinions and focuses on relating to you and not advising you. That was John.
This play/worship is on Holy Thursday March 28, 2013 at Bethany. There will be two performances/worship times at 4:30PM and 7:00PM in the main sanctuary. It is not something we do every year and I'm glad for that. It makes it even more special for those of us who have performed and for those who participate and observe. Sometimes it is things that are rare that become more beautiful for us. I thank my "brother" actors for taking the time to do this. I believe they find in each of their parts new dimensions of meaning to the disciple they portray. It's a privilege to practice and watch them make the disciples come alive with passion and audacity.
If you can, come and join us. If not read over the passion narratives and imagine yourself as a part of a world changing event that continues to shape our world and peoples lives.
ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, hon ephilei ho Iēsous – the disciple whom Jesus loved. (John 20:2) Colin G Kruse, a New Testament scholar states, "that since John the Evangelist has been named consistently in the writings of early church fathers, "it is hard to pass by the authenticity of John being the author of the Gospel of John, despite widespread reluctance to accept it by many, but by no means all, modern scholars." The true identity of the author of the Gospel of John remains a subject of considerable debate.
So I'll leave you with a snippet from the fifteenth chapter of John, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."
Be Well…

SANGEETHA RASIKA SANGAM - May 2009
The 119th Music Program of Sangeetha Rasika Sangam, Chennai 92 was held at Sri Varasiddhi Vinayagar Temple, Chinmayanagar (Central Chinmaya Mission Trust) on Friday the 1st May 2009.
Ms Ranjani Venkat, an young vocalist, is primarily a disciple of Vidhushi Smt Seetha Narayanan. She has also learnt from Sri N S Srinivasan (of Hyderabad) and from Sri Sethalapathi Balasubramamanian (a direct disciple of Papanasam Sivan) and also from Sri A S Murali (a disciple of Sri P S Narayanasamy). She has also learnt from Sri P B Srirangachar. She was accompanied by Sri Rahul on the violin and Sri Mohanakrishnan on the Mrudangam.
Ranjani began her concert with the Varnam "Karunimpa Idhi Manchi" composed by Thiruvetriyur Thiagaiyer in the raaga Sahana. The Virutham of Ovvayar "Palum Theli Thenum" prefaced Pahi Pahi Bala Ganapathe, a song in Hamsadhwani, of Mazhavai Chidambara Bharathi. After a brief Alapana of Vasantha, a janya raaga of 17th Melam, Ramachandram Bhavayami, a Dheekshithar's Krithi, with swarams at "Kakustham Bhimatam" was sung melodiously.
'Amba Paradevade' in Rudrapriya came as a speedy number followed by raga alapana of Shanmugapriya, the 56th Melam. The song was Sidhi Vinayagam chosen to suit the temple deity, Varasidhi Vinayagar. The handling of Kaishika Nishadam in this Prathi Madhyama Raaga produced profusing melody. Siddhi Vinayagam of Deekshidhar, in whose parlance Shanmugapriya is known as Chamaram, was rendered in a sweet form. She explored the depth of the raaga by dwelling Madhyamakala phrase in a vivid manner, which touched the hearts of the audience.
Then a Virutham, Pannum Bharathamum of Kumaraguruparar was touchy. This was followed by the song Saraswathi Dhayay Nidhi of Papanasam Sivan in the Raaga 'Saraswathi', the janya raaga of 64th Melam, Vaachaspathi.
The main Raaga taken up for detailed alapana was Bilahari. The song chosen for this raaga was Dorakuna of St Thiagaraja. Ranjani's ability to perform this piece of song with neraval at Rama brahma and adequate swaras was superb. The raaga Bilahari, a janya raaga of 29th melam, Sankarabaranam, has the swara structure Sa Ri Ga Pa Dha Sa and Sa Ni Dha Pa ma Ga Ri Sa on arohana and avarohana scales respectively.
Sri Rahul's creativity in the raaga handling gave a good support to the main artiste. Sri Mohanakrishnan's Thani Avardhanam was applauded by the audience with cheers.
Then she took up a melody-drrivn Bhajan of Soordas "Hey Govinda Hey Gopala" in raaga Desh. Finally Karpagame Kadai Kan Paarai in Madhyamavathi took the audience to the world of ecstacy. She concluded the concert with a Mangalam in Saurashtra.

Paul said "You know, I think sometimes polling is done to dampen election turnout. So when Trump says the thing's rigged, I'm not sure exactly what he means and I'm not sure I always agree with him. But I do think that when we say over and over someone can't win, that is a form of rigging in the sense that it is designed to suppress turnout."
He added, "The polls are put out, you know to make it either look closer than it is or to make it look like Democrats have a better chance. And I think it's done by design to try to dampen turnout."
