The matha at Kanchipuram, in modern Tamil Nadu, is a matter of some controversy. Most scholars are convinced that Shankara established only four mathas—at Sringeri in the south, Dwaraka in the west, Puri in the east and Joshimatha in the north. However, those who run the Kanchi matha claim that it was set up by Shankara, and anyone who visits it, is left in no doubt about the deep faith that invests this claim.
When I entered the main mandapam of the matha, the aarti was on to the loud accompaniment of the mridangam and nadaswaram. The hall was packed with devotees seated on the red-tiled floor, the men bare-bodied above the waist, in only a veshti. The aarti was being performed for the sphatika Chandramoulishwaralinga in the sanctum sanctorum. A large portrait of Shankara, in a seated posture wearing a red cloth over his shoulders and a rudraksh necklace, a red tilak above his bright and piercing eyes, adorned the worship pedestal. In one corner of the hall were a series of paintings depicting the key episodes of Shankara's life. The current pontiff, Jayendra Saraswathi, who is now very old, and his chosen successor, Vijayendra Saraswathi, were gracious enough to spend considerable time with me.
The Shankaracharyas of Kanchi believe that Shankara passed away, or as it is put, attained Sarvajna Pitha, ascending the final Throne of Omniscience, here in this ancient temple town. Shankara, they maintain, established the four other mathas for the propagation of Vedanta and the protection and projection of Hinduism, but the Kanchi matha was a project he undertook 'for himself', and as the matha that would oversee the functioning of the other four.
There are several reasons they give for this belief. Kanchi, is, and was, among the most famous temple cities of the South, housing over a thousand temples. Kalidasa, the great poet, called it 'the city among cities', renowned for its learned scholars in both Tamil and Sanskrit. In ancient treatises, its location is referred to as 'the navel of the earth'. Kanchi was also the capital of the Pallava and Chola dynasties. The most celebrated Kamakshi temple in the city is dedicated to Parvati, where she is depicted as the Goddess of love. Given Shankara's belief in the shakti cult, and the fact that all his other mathas are known as Shakti Peeths, would it be possible that he would not have come to Kanchi, and set up a matha in this ancient city of temples and learning dedicated to Parvati?
In Kanchi, Vijayendra Saraswathi tells me that Shankara is near ubiquitous, and every temple has a statue or some form of dedication to him. In the beautiful Kamakshi temple, newly renovated by the Kanchi Matha (located next door), there is indeed, a resplendent statue of Shankara with a gold canopy, and it is placed in the temple compound, on a pedestal that is higher than that of Kamakshi.
According to the Kanchi Matha, it was Shankara who personally installed the Sri Chakra at the feet of Kamakshi. He came to Kanchi towards the end of his life, travelling through Rameshwaram, Sri Sailam and Tirupati, and this is where he died, or obtained samadhi, which, the Kanchi Matha claims, is within the precincts of the Kamakshi temple. Before samadhi, he entrusted the running of the matha to his principal disciple, Sureshvara, better known by his earlier name, Mandana Mishra. In fact, so Vijayendra Saraswathi informed me, there is a street in Kanchi called Mandana Mishra Agraha. Some of Mishra's descendants, originally hailing from Bihar, settled in Kanchi, although now, he said smilingly, they all speak Tamil. Within the matha's precincts, the most ancient structure is a temple with a statue of Sureshvara, and this is also the spot where he was, the matha claims, cremated.
There is little doubt that Kanchi is essentially a temple town. In the little over an hour drive from Chennai to Kanchi, one sees large stretches of factories and private university campuses, but the moment one enters Kanchi, there are only temples in every direction. It is also true that Kanchi, along with Kashi, Ujjain, Dwaraka, Ayodhya and Haridwar, is recognised as a 'mokshapuri', the place where a Hindu upon death, is ensured salvation. It is, therefore, possible that Shankara, the peripatetic teacher, would have visited Kanchi as part of his travels. It is entirely possible too that he could have installed the Sri Chakra at the Kamakshi temple, because he had done the same for other temples dedicated to the Devi, and Kamakshi was always recognised as one of the most important Shakti Peeths.

This week the bloggers do it better challenge is collections, I wouldn't really say I collect anything (unless it's got Eeyore's face on) but I've built up quite a collection of nail polish whether that's from wins, purchases or a gift from someone. I do love nail polish, however and I'm completely obsessed.
This is just some of my collection I own. Me and my sister counted an insane amount quite a bit ago and my boyfriend doesn't let me forget it when I pick up another.
I thought I'd show you some of my Summer favourites.
Barry M are one of my favourite brands for nail polish for both affordability and quality. They have some of the best Summer shades on the highstreet, especially in their gelly hi-shine range.
L-R; Grapefruit and Papaya.
Key Lime, Greenberry and Guava

Supporting Activities
Excursions and Field Trips
The Class Teacher organises and facilitates excursions as part of the curriculum.
These journeys help integrate the themes of the Main Lesson and lead the children towards rapid social development. During excursions, groups of children interact in real life situations in a caring and sharing manner.
Excursions provide the opportunity to overcome insecurity and bring about a greater level of maturity in relationships with other students and the Class Teacher.
Excursions are also educationally productive as they provide experience in field work and generate creative work in the form of artwork, journal writing, commercial arithmetic and provide a stimulant for future drama productions.
Class Camps
Class camps form an integral part of the curriculum.
In Class 1 to 3, camps are primarily a time of social interaction on a 24 hour/day basis where the children learn to live with and care for each other, with an emphasis on observing the natural world from which their lessons are drawn.
By Class 4 the children are studying exploration and local geography in their Main Lessons and this is a time of focusing on longer bushwalks and outings in their immediate vicinity.
From Class 5 onwards, these excursions can extend further afield and link in with geography, botany, farming and industry lessons.
Each camp will have a different focus, depending on the age and maturity of the students, including physical challenges, opportunities to develop self confidence and self reliance, group awareness and responsibility and self knowledge.
Some camps make possible a wider range of sporting activities such as canoeing, skiing, scuba diving and hiking.
Bush Walks
This section is under construction and will be completed shorlty.

Toolbox: Digital cameras and your closet
I have a very small amount of closet space - about 2' of closet rod - so I keep my working closet very well edited. (I stash dressy things and big jackets elsewhere). That wasn't the problem. The problem was, as my friend L is fond of pointing out, I tend to default to a certain set of colors. They don't look so similar while hanging up - but if you get them down and take photographs of the items by group, you can be struck by the similarities.
I offer you: Skirts.....
I had a couple of things in the laundry (and obviously wasn't naked when I took this photo) but ... wow. You really do get the overwhelming "denim blue" vibe, don't you? (I was probably wearing my long denim skirt... yeah. I have a problem).
Just taking things out and grouping them is *good* - and you should start there. But if you have a digital camera, I urge you to take a picture of what you have and look at it on your computer screen. The distance you'll get is valuable. Also, it gives you an incentive to walk outside of your norm. Another blue skirt? So easy. But even blue-eyed moi can't wear all blue, all the time.
I did the closet sort right after I filled it in a little bit, and that gave me the incentive to throw away some worn items. I have a few more in there that I'm just not wearing, exactly because they're "too worn"... and I really should suck it up and take them out. (My last day-dress... cry! I need to get to sewing, stat!) (Not to mention that embroidered skirt... ah, so naive to believe that "cute" fabric would make up into something that didn't scream "I made this").
The other thing that a digital camera can give you is the ability to creatively mix and match. Somehow our usual outfits just find one another and they stay... and stay... and stay... and you end up a bit stale. Pull it out, snap a photo, and suddenly those great big garments become tiny and mobile and you're mixing and matching all over the place.
So I did my closet cleaning out - and then I examined my stash, and then I made a "to-sew" list. In order. I'm almost certainly going to mess up the order, because I can't live life in the summer without daydresses. Regardless... I have direction, I have inspiration. And *that* is how you get out of a slump.
2 comments:
i think you look good in blue. I don't wear blue often, I like dark grey for a neutral. I wear a lot of black too, but I'm trying to tone it down more after you wrote that most people don't look good in black. I used to perform in college and all my dress up clothes were black b/c that is what we were supposed to wear, I guess it became a habit.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure what season you are/what neutrals you should wear, having only seen one picture of you - but can you tell if you're cool or warm? Grey and beige and brown are all excellent neutrals - as is offwhite. It's just nailing the shade. Hold lots of samples up before you plunge in. :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for the compliment on the blue. I do LIKE blue... but I don't want to be quite so uniform, lol.
Please keep your comments lovely. I encourage discussion, but I will erase ugliness. And let's not shoot fish in a barrel please - no picking on specific people, even celebrities.

Exuding confidence at winning the Ballon d'Or in the nearest future, Ronaldo has named Messi as the one to win the award.
Ronaldo has won the prestigious accolade for the past two seasons, but feels Messi's treble win with Barcelona will make him the favorite to win.
"This kind of trophy depends on votes and Messi won competitions," Ronaldo told ITV. "He won the Champions League and La Liga.
"In terms of individual [performances] I probably did the best season of my career, which is good. I was the highest scorer in Europe.
"We share this stage at Fifa for eight years. No-one did that in the past, only us. So it's good, I have a good relationship with him. We are not old friends but we respect each other.'
However, Ronaldo is confident he can win the title again in the future and says he expects to keep playing at the top level for many more years.
"Well I'm still young, I think… I think I can [win another Ballon d'Or]," he added.
"I want to play six, seven years more and I think I'm still able to win collective things because if you don't win collective things, you cannot win individual awards."

An Interview with Geoff Wilson of 352 - By Seth Lane of Front Street/
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of having lunch with 352's Geoff Wilson. We were privileged to have worked with 352 during their site selection for their new office. I gained tremendous respect for Geoff, Peter, and the rest of the 352 team. They exuded a unified disposition of fun culture, a passion for their work, and a true understanding of what 352 is as a business. I wanted to have a chance to learn from Geoff; how had his business grown? What challenges had he faced? What could I learn and apply as Front Street grows?
While we were working with 352 on their office search we attended ReThink: Success, a leadership summit put on by FreshSpark. Geoff was a speaker at this event, discussing what success means to him and his company. This event was full of great speakers but Geoff was the best. Maybe his message spoke to me because of the current growth stage Front Street is experiencing? His message resonated. I knew then I HAD to have lunch with Geoff. I sent him an invitation that very day.
Here's Geoff's Keynote at ReThink: Success:
Here is a recap of our discussion
My first question for Geoff was this, what was the first year of 352 like and how did it inform what you do now?
Geoff described how he and his team focused on brand and position, knowing that it would yield opportunities. He elaborated that positioning is key to attracting the right talent and the right clientele.
I asked, would the younger you be proud of the current you?
The answer was yes, although he did realize some things he could have done differently. He tried to be self-reliant, and didn't seek out enough outside advice. Now, he leads monthly book clubs with his leadership team, where they read, discuss and implement teachings from business books. Through the course of the company's growth, he focused on higher standards for hiring. He knew that talent would drive the value proposition. The lesson he learned that resonated most with me was this "If I had been less frantic and less "busy" … if I had gotten my head out of the day to day and looked at the bigger picture, I could have been more successful more quickly." Real estate brokerage often succumbs to the tyranny of the urgent. Whatever squeaky wheel is squeaking the loudest gets our immediate attention. Taking time to position your brand, hone your value proposition, and just take a few steps back can be more useful for the company and in-turn the client.
what is 352's Sweet Spot?
352 specializes in making in-depth websites, typically including a service or activity. Much of their current work is centered on usability improvements, digital marketing, and traffic enhancement.
How has that sweet spot evolved?
352 learned to not all things to all people. They do less small business websites and focus on finding the right customers.
What is 352's biggest opportunity over the next 3 years?
352 was managing 100+ projects a year. Now, they aim to manage 30. They are focused on raising the bar on their client caliber, and leveraging their business model through more focused business development.
What is the biggest challenge?
The market and technology is changing so rapidly. 352 is focused on refining their business development strategy and lines of service to stay ahead of their competition; As they seek to compete against larger companies.
What is something that will be common place in 3 years that is
unimaginable now?
Geoff described current technology where all aspects of a website will be customized to person reading it … they will recognize who you are and change the content. He gave a great example of where a site may know if a visitor is a potential customer or competitor. The customer may see case studies of relevant projects, products, and services. The competitor ... they will see job openings.
Check out their redesigned website over at 352media.com.
352 is scheduled to open their new office in Tioga Town Center in early 2014.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. | When her own father turned 50 many years ago, Juli Inkster recalled that she thought her dad was old, as in really old. And so, as she approached her own half-century Big Birthday this past Thursday, the veteran of 28 years on the LPGA Tour recently asked her two teenage daughters if they thought the same about their mother.
"I asked my kids, is 50 old?" she said not long after completing her first round in the Wegmans LPGA Championship. "They said, 'Well yeah, but mom, you don't act 50.'"
Not outside the gallery ropes, or inside them either, at least judging from Inkster's performance so far this year, or last week at Locust Hill Country Club, for that matter. She merely rocketed up the board with a run of four birdies in a stretch of five holes in the middle of her first round and found herself leading the second women's major of the season. She finished that day with a 71 after a few sloppy bogeys down the stretch, but for the ninth time in 10 events this year, Inkster made the cut and played on the weekend.
She obviously did not win the tournament, a feat that would have made her the oldest major champion, male or female, in the history of the game. Julius Boros did it at age 48 on the men's tour when he prevailed in the 1968 PGA Championship. And Fay Crocker remains the oldest female major winner, at age 45 in the 1960 Titleholders when the now defunct event was considered a major.
But Inkster, arguably the most popular American player on the LPGA circuit, clearly believes she still has the ability to compete at a high level, and possibly win.
"I know I'm not going to be Player of the Year and I know I'm not going to be the No. 1 player," she said. "But you know what, I have a lot of good friends out here…To me, it's not a job…I love what I do. I play 16, 17 events out of the year and the rest I have off. I don't know why I wouldn't play. It's not like we have a seniors tour. I love to play golf."
And her fellow players clearly are genuinely delighted to still have her in their midst.
"She is the iron woman," said Cristie Kerr. "She was one of the people that were my idols when I was coming up and playing golf and first getting out here. She won more majors after having kids than before, and now she has 30-some (31) wins and is the No. 1 American on the all-time money list. She is amazing."
Said Stacy Lewis, "If I'm playing golf out here when I'm 50 years old, I don't know. It's pretty amazing what she is able to do. She doesn't act like she's 50 years old. She acts like she's one of us. I think it's great for the game."
Last Monday night, several of her younger pals took Inkster out for a birthday dinner at a local Italian joint and chipped in to buy her an iPad.
"Yes, I do like gadgets," Inkster said. "I do have to admit I'm having a little help. Morgan (Pressel) is going to help me because I couldn't even get the thing going."
Inkster also said her own kids, now 20 and 16, have also played a major role in "keeping me young. They're great to travel with and we do a lot of fun stuff together. They love to shop. They love to shop for me. I don't really go into a store anymore. They just pick clothes out and bring them home and I put them on. I listen to all their music, just because that's what's playing. So maybe that helps."
But Inkster is hardly hearing her own swan song these days. She won't say how much longer she plans to keep playing, because she really doesn't seem to know herself. The California native still hits the ball as far as she ever has. Her putting, she said, is constantly improving. And she's healthy, with no aches and pains to slow her down.
The only change in a Hall of Fame player with seven major titles?
"I definitely think I've mellowed a lot," she said. "I used to take golf home and stew. I don't do any of that any more. When I tee it up, I believe I can win. If I don't, it's not the end of the world. I just like to compete. I like to see how good I can be at this age."
Her only concession to her age these days is her steadfast insistence that even if she qualifies on points, she will not compete in the Solheim Cup matches this fall. She's already been picked as an assistant captain to Rosie Jones, and surely will captain the American team sooner than later. But even if Jones wanted her as a wild card, she won't play.
"Why? Because I've done it," she said. "I've enjoyed it. I've had great memories. But I feel it's time the younger players get out there and get the experience and learn it. I'm perfectly satisfied where I am. I don't need to play the Solheim Cup to validate my career."

The first half of another two-part story, "Under the Lake" serves up a very satisfying slice of one of the most traditional forms of Doctor Who adventure: a small group of people trapped in an isolated place, coming under attack from monstrous forces, with a lot of running up and down corridors. Although the ending suggests next week's conclusion will feature a return to the time-bending plotting more typical of Steven Moffat-period Doctor Who, this episode is refreshingly reminiscent of earlier eras of the series.
The setting is an underwater mining base in the north of Scotland, situated at the bottom of a lake created by a long-ago dam burst. When the crew discover a mysterious alien spaceship in the flooded valley outside and bring it aboard, a spectral presence quickly causes the death of the base commander, Moran (Colin McFarlane). Three days later, the TARDIS arrives, and the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Clara (Jenna Coleman) find the remaining crew in hiding from what appear to be two ghosts trying to kill them—one of whom is Moran. The rest of the episode consists of the Doctor joining forces with the crew to neutralize the ghosts and work out what they are and what their presence signifies.
In stories of this kind it's common for the secondary characters to be little more than stock types, cannon fodder to be picked off by the attackers, but writer Toby Whithouse, returning to the series for the first time since "A Town Called Mercy" three years ago, works hard to make the base crew into real people. The only exception is Pritchard (Steven Robertson), a very thin caricature of a profit-obsessed capitalist, who's no loss at all when he gets killed and joins the ranks of the ghosts. Particularly striking, on the other hand, is Cass (Sophie Stone), the second-in-command who takes over after Moran's death—and who happens to be deaf, communicating via sign language through an interpreter, Lunn (Zaqi Ismail). While her talent for lip-reading is highlighted when she's able to decipher the repeating mantra mouthed by the voiceless ghosts, the fact that the rest of the episode makes no special fuss about the incorporation of a deaf character, treating her equally with the rest of the crew, is worthy of praise.
As with "The Magician's Apprentice," that this is the first half of a two-parter allows the story room to breathe and develop at its own pace. At times the pacing is a little too deliberate; the audience is likely to grasp the significance of the mysterious markings inscribed inside the spaceship some time before the characters do. It turns out that the markings correspond to the ghosts' mantra of "The dark, the sword, the forsaken, the temple," somehow causing all who see them to become signal transmitters (amusingly, the Doctor compares it to an "earworm" tune that you can't get rid of, even after death), sending the message out into space to guide its recipient back to this place. The idea of words alone having such power is certainly the biggest stretch of the episode, though a similar concept has been seen before, in 2007's "The Shakespeare Code."
First-time director Daniel O'Hara creates a very convincing environment using mainly lighting effects, a constant low-key shimmering in the background always reminding us that we're underwater. The sprawling geography of the base is well conveyed during the long, tense action sequence where the crew execute a well-planned strategy to capture the ghosts (which, pleasingly, gives every character something important to do). O'Hara also adeptly handles the script's more horrific moments: The initial death of Moran is shockingly abrupt, with the man simply engulfed in an instant by a huge plume of flame from the spaceship's rockets. The ghosts themselves, with their sunken, hollow eyes, are nicely macabre, and a scene with Lunn trapped by Pritchard's ghost wielding a huge metal wrench is unusually harrowing for Doctor Who.
Unfortunately, Capaldi's Doctor takes a slightly retrograde step after his relaxed and comfortable performance in the previous story. Whithouse seems to have drawn most of his inspiration from the rather uncertain characterization of the first half of last season, when the writers and Capaldi were still finding the character. There are awkward, over-mannered moments like his asking who's in command because "I need to know who to ignore." His exaggerated reaction to finding the source of the mystery is also trying way too hard: "It's impossible, I hate it, it's evil, it's astonishing, I want to kiss it to death." There's a return of the mostly dropped idea of the Doctor being so inept at social interaction that he needs Clara to interpret for him; the moment where she pulls out a deck of cue cards to prompt him on the correct response when Cass points out that Moran was their friend is genuinely funny, but it's the sort of gag that would grow thin with repetition.
The Doctor and Clara have an interesting moment in the TARDIS when he comments on her becoming more and more reckless—more like him, in fact. Certainly, she seems to have moved on quickly from Danny Pink's death last season, and simply shrugs off with a smile the Doctor's suggestion that she needs another relationship. Ironically, she has to remain behind at the end—with the two of them separated as part of the base is flooded, the Doctor decides to continue his investigation by going back in time to when the spaceship first arrived in the valley. The cliffhanger moment is a little too telegraphed, so that the final shot isn't quite the surprise that was probably intended, but it's still startling when Clara looks out to see the Doctor in ghost form, approaching through the murky water. Clearly whatever happened in the past has gone terribly wrong.
Next Week: The second part of this story, in "Before the Flood."
Classic Who DVD Recommendation: A somewhat less convincing submarine environment can be found in 1967's "The Underwater Menace"—finally receiving a much-delayed DVD release later this month—starring Patrick Troughton, with Anneke Wills, Michael Craze, and Frazer Hines.

By learning about what others go through, you come to realize that many targets go through the same struggles. You are not alone. We may post your story or poem on our site. If you wish to post your story you can click now.
I have been through insults, peer pressure, and humiliation through bulling many times in my life. However none of it would prepare me for this; I was in 5th grade and I started to have to ride my bus to get home from school- some bullies that I knew bullied my best friend were about to pour water on him from behind a seat ( I knew because I overheard them and I saw them with the water bottle) so I stopped it from happening just before they did it and poured the water on them ( for my friend). I thought I was doing the right thing but they got really angry and rallied all of the high school students to bully me- and thanks to my bus driver I had to sit by them a lot. The insults and verbal attacks did affect me but they took it to a whole new level. A 5th grader so small compared to the 30-40 high school students who choose to try to force him into a fight. On the outside, I was strong- on the inside I was terrified beyond belief. I thought I could just talk my way out of it- but when I got of my bus one day they all followed my home; the whole bus ride they were surrounding me saying things like " were gonna jump you" and "pussy" again and again- it was like the ultimate psychological hell. It was worse when I was followed because they were recording me with phones and chasing me- everyday on my bus I was inches of a breakdown but I was able to control it until one of the students pushed me and I just started to weep deeply and uncontrollably until I got home. My best friend, and his two brothers were there trying to help me but I just wanted it to be over. This is the first of many different situations similar to this one, and the people who do it to me seem to pop-up out of nowhere. These traumas have made me want to fight back so hard- but anytime I try my whole body quits; I cant breathe, walk, talk, and my muscles get literally so weak I cant make a fist. MY WHOLE BODY TREMBLES. I've tried to ignore these people, befriend them, tell my family and other authorities, etc. and nothing ever works…any time I think about these people or these situations the same effects happen. I'm afraid of people ( terrified when it comes to them), i'm afraid to leave my house, and tiny little sounds they make put me on edge. This incident, and the following ones multiplied/multiplies my depression, causes/makes me want to self-harm, social-anxiety, and occasional suicidal thoughts. I got a cup of bleach millimeters away from my mouth once before sitting there for an hour and pouring it out. My counselor, mom, dad, and friends don't seem to recognize the effect its had on me. Thank you for listening.

Second Stage Theatre
July 14th, 2012 matinee
Background and Synopsis: Yesterday, I had the pleasure of seeing the new off-Broadway musical, Dogfight, at Second Stage. Set to open on Monday, July 16th, Dogfight is based on the 1991 movie of the same name which starred River Phoenix and Lili Taylor. Directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello with a score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and book by Peter Duchan, Dogfight chronicles the events of November 21, 1963, as a group of Marines prepare for one last night of fun before shipping out to Vietnam the next day. When the Marines make a bet on who can find the ugliest date, Eddie Birdlace meets Rose Fenny, a plain, inexperienced waitress, and the cruel game turns into an unusual and unexpected connection between the two.
Comments: There is something very special about Dogfight- perhaps it is the raw and honest manner in which the characters are written by Peter Duchan. The New York stage has seen many musicals based on movies recently, but not all of them have succeeded as a musical. This production is a great example of a movie that actually works as a musical, much like the Tony Award winning musical, Once. The simple, but compelling story is enhanced by a hauntingly beautiful score written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, two fairly new, up and coming composers! Rather than interrupt the story with big, showy numbers, the music of Dogfight elicits character reflection and propels the story forward. There are many laugh-out-loud moments, the kinds that make you wonder how the actors are keeping straight faces. In fact, Dogfight exemplifies the even balance between drama and comic relief.
Rose Fenny is played by Lindsay Mendez, recently seen in the Broadway revival of Godspell singing "Bless the Lord". Known for belting songs out of the vocal stratosphere, Lindsay's portrayal of Rose is, of course, more subdued than her previous roles, but it definitely accentuated the warmth, richness, and expression in her amazing voice. Lindsay didn't play Rose as an unattractive, mousy young waitress, but rather as a sheltered, inexperienced, intelligent girl with profound insight into people, specifically Eddie. Derek Klena (of Carrie) played the flawed and hot-tempered Eddie Birdlace. He did a great job of portraying the emotional layers of such a complicated character.
The supporting cast was also excellent. Standing out were Nick Blaemire as Bernstein, Josh Segarra as Boland, and Annaleigh Ashford as Marcy. In particular, Annaleigh really nailed the comedic timing as Boland's opportunistic date.
If you want to see an enjoyable, heartfelt musical with a talented cast and beautiful music written by a pair of promising new composers, please check out Dogfight at Second Stage Theatre. It is not to be missed.

Today only we reported that Microsoft may launch Lumia 650 in Indian Market on March 02, but Microsoft India through its Twitter account has confirmed that the smartphone will be available to purchase by the end of this month itself.
This is a great news who are waiting for the nice metallic body Lumia. Its a mid ranged device marketed as the business phone though it will not support Continuum. With a 1.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor with 1GB of RAM, it is indeed on the low specs side, but it does provide a nice metallic body and a 5-inch screen with 16 GB of internal storage. It also features a 8 megapixel primary camera and another 5 megapixel secondary camera for the selfie lovers.
India is a hopeful market for Windows Phone. There are still people looking out for a Windows Phone and the market has relatively good for Microsoft here. Launching Lumia 650 might be a good move from the company to make some sells in this developing market.
We will have to wait and see as to when the launch is done and at what's price. The rumoured price still hangs out between 12000rs - 15000rs. That's too high though for an inferior hardware specs where OnePlus and Micromax are providing way better hardware specs in almost same amount. Microsoft needs to be aggressive with Lumia 650 pricing. Lets wait and see.

In: Dental treatment21 Mar 2010
At our center, induction was accomplished in the majority of patients using IV access with the help of patient restraint by the dental surgeon, assistants, registered nurse, and patient's guardians, parents, or caretakers. Once the IV was established, induction was achieved with either 2.5 to 3 mgAg thiopental and 0.2 to 0.4 mg glycopyrrolate or 0.6 mg of atropine. After induction, the guardians or caretakers leave the operating room (OR). In the rare situation of the very combative patient, IM ketamine has been successfully employed at a dose of 4 to 12 mgAg, usually in the recovery room or reception area. The patients are then brought into the OR in a wheelchair or on a stretcher, and, once they are drowsy, are transferred onto the OR table. Close communication and cooperation among the anesthesiologist, dental surgeon, caretaker and nurse are essential to provide this service. The anesthesiologist must be prepared for possible difficulties in maintaining an airway and other complications. In most of the cases, suc-cinylcholine has been successfully employed, except when there is a specific contraindication. In our center, succinylcholine appears to be the most commonly selected muscle relaxant, followed by mivacurium at a dose of 200 to 250 |xgAg, and occasionally other relaxants such as atracurium and vecuronium. At the end of the procedure, the patients are extubated when their protective reflexes have returned. This is after the reversal of muscle relaxation resulting from a combination of anticholinergic and anticholinesterase usually 1.2 mg of atropine and 2.5 mg of neostigmine.
Keenan and Boyan reported 27 cardiac arrests caused solely by anesthesia among 163,240 patients over a 15-yr period (1969 through 1983); resulting in an incidence of cardiac arrests of 1.7 per 10,000 ane-thesized patients. The death rate in their study was 0.9 per 10,000 anethesized patients, which agrees with other studies. The only study that suggests that the incidence of death may be lower is that of Holland who reported an anesthetic mortality in New South Wales, Australia of 1 per 10,250 in 1970 and 1 per 26,000 in 1984. Keats questions the premise that better monitoring has caused a reduction in mortality. There are no such statistics available for mentally challenged patients. The data studied showed that there was no mortality or major morbidity even with minimal preoperative assessment, indicating that these procedures can be safely undertaken in a well-equipped facility by trained personnel.
A survey in 1990 in Ontario estimated that approximately 130,000 dental patients are administered general anesthetics on an annual basis for conscious sedation or general anesthesia. There were four fatalities be tween 1986 and 1995 following anaesthetics given by dentists. The resulting 10-yr mortality rate was 3.5 per 1,000,000 cases. Secondary data analysis dating back to 1973 gave a mortality rate of 1.4 per 1,000,000 cases. However, there are no statistics available that compare the mortality rate resulting from anesthetics given to the mentally challenged population with the mortality rate resulting from anesthetics given to the general population. Statistical analysis of dental anesthesia regarding the incidence of morbidity and mortality in the United Kingdom and the United States show that they are comparable. It is noteworthy that with respect to morbidity and mortality there is no statistical difference between the hospital and dental office setting. (Nkansah, personal communication, 1996).
Mentally challenged patients who are otherwise healthy can be treated in properly equipped dental offices with competent anesthesiologists, but it is prudent to treat patients who suffer from other diseases in a hospital setting with full medical facilities and with the ready availability of multiple specialized consultants. In either of these settings, there should be good communication between all personnel involved to ensure the provision of safe and efficient treatment to this segment of the population. Kamagra Oral Jelly
At our center, all these patients are evaluated preop-eratively in the family-practice clinic or by their community physicians and by members of the anesthesiology department. If problems are detected or suspected, then the appropriate medical professionals are consulted. The majority of the dental procedures were done with minimal preoperative investigation and the majority of patients tolerated the procedure under general anesthesia quite well. The patients' caretakers were given written and verbal instructions regarding preoperative drug therapy and поп per os (NPO) status. If the patient is very aggressive then sedation is accomplished in the waiting area with IM ketamine (sometimes injected through the clothing), while the patient is seated and restrained in a lounge chair or wheelchair. After a sufficient level of sedation has occurred the patient is either wheeled in the chair or transferred to a stretcher and taken to the OR where the complete induction and intubation is accomplished conventionally. During the recovery period, 02 is blown on the patient's face because mentally challenged patients often do not keep masks or tents on once they are alert and awake. The caretakers are brought to the PACU during the recovery period in an attempt to keep the patient calm. As soon as the patients recover completely from the anesthetic, they are given clear fluids. If they can tolerate the fluids, they are then discharged with the caretaker only after appropriate evaluation by the recovery room nurse and anesthetist.
This review supports the position that mentally chal lenged patients can be managed safely under general anesthesia as outpatients with minimal morbidity and minimal preoperative evaluation. The main criteria used to determine medical suitability for treatment under general anesthesia is the physical evaluation of the patient and a report from both the caregiver and primary physician concerning the patient's present state of daily health. A person who is determined to be healthy will in most cases be able to tolerate dental care under general anesthesia. Significant cost savings can be realized by ordering only pertinent tests and treating these patients as day care patients. Finally, facilities should be available for patients who need other medical consultations and investigations, and possibly admission, to provide their dental care under general anesthesia in a safe manner. This review supports the position that mentally challenged adults can receive their required dental care in a safe and predictable manner under general anesthesia in a day-surgery facility, and that such facilities should be maintained to meet the demands for dental care for this select group of individuals. A dedicated team of individuals can play an important role in the provision of required dental care under general anesthesia and the necessary follow-up for these individuals with developmental disabilities.

Into the Grizzly Maze trailer features James Marsden vs. a hilarious CG bear
Computer generated imagery has grown by leaps and bounds over the years and have allowed filmmakers to capture everything from this planet to the next. That being said, we could probably count on one hand the films released in any given year that actually implement the technology to perfection. I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's talk about INTO THE GRIZZLY MAZE. It's a film that follows two estranged brothers, played by Thomas Jane and James Marsden, as they reunite at their childhood home in the Alaskan wild. They set out on a two-day hike and are stalked by an unrelenting grizzly bear. Check out the trailer to see your worst fears realized.
Anyone remember THE EDGE? That was 18 years ago! Now there's a movie that could make a bear seem scary on-screen. On the other hand I'm willing to bet this film elicits more chuckles than some of the comedies that have been released this year. Fortunately for us, we don't have to wait long as this flick will hit on-demand services next Tuesday. The bear Gods have spoken.
INTO THE GRIZZLY MAZE will hit VOD on May19th and limited theaters on June 26th.

A few weeks ago I was sat in the dark settling Ms Bird and simultaneously scrolling through my Bloglovin' feed when I saw that Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs had put out a call for pattern testers for her Sea Star Quilt.
|The finished baby size quilt top - it's been a while since I made anything bigger than a mini (too many swaps!)
Although I have never pattern tested before I thought "I could do that!" and promptly volunteered to test the baby sized version of the quilt. This year is all about trying new things for me. The timing worked quite well, as one of my dear friends was also expecting. Did you see how I said was? Her bundle of joy has arrived and the testing deadline is looming.

Facebook needs the right to censor to protect people from, at the very least, the most hurtful and provocative speech and images. Without some form of censorship, it will erode into a path of hate speech, porn, and advertising with the customer base turned off and leaving. Being publicly traded, they will always walk that fine line.
Facebook should have all the rights in deciding what should be censored. It has provided people with a social platform to communicate and therefore just as we have laws to govern us in the real world, measures should be in place to control and regulate what goes on on that platform.
Facebook should have the right to censor because it is a privately owned company. If someone owns a company, no one should be able to dictate to that individual about what they can or cannot do as long as they are within legal bounds. The public has a choice of whether or not to use the company's service or not. Other platforms are available that the public can use to communicate with others or post photos, videos, etc.
Yes, Facebook should have the right to censor content. It is a privately owned company and has the right to decide which content is allowable on the website. Any content that they deem to be inappropriate for their website should be removable if they deem it necessary to do so.

The third Sunday of the Season of Announcement commemorates another important event in the unfolding of the promise of God: Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth.After receiving such tremendous good news, Mary could have secluded herself in a life of prayer and contemplation. However, after the angel of the Lord had communicated the news of Elizabeth's conception to her, Mary perceived it as the Lord's will that she go to be with Elizabeth, and thus chose to share the divine life within her with another. Mary shared Jesus with others even before his birth. The fundamental task of an apostle is to share Jesus with others, and so, Mary is called the "Queen of the Apostles".
Impelled by the Spirit of God, Mary left on a journey that required four days of difficult travel, especially for a poor girl such as herself. Yet, as the Mother of God and our Mother, she was already concerned for the welfare of others.
When Mary encountered Elizabeth, the unborn infant in her womb leapt for joy, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Spirit and sang of the blessedness of Mary.Mary is blessed, not simply because she was to be the Mother of God, but also because of her own personal faith. She heard the words of the angel and accepted everything that was to happen with humility. For this reason, she is blessed throughout the ages.
The hymn of Mary differs from that of Zechariah. Zechariah's hymn is communal: he is proclaiming gratitude to God on behalf of all the people of Israel. On the other hand, Mary's hymn is personal, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord." She is humbly proclaiming the great things that God has done for her. In humility, the Virgin of Nazareth proclaims how great the Lord has made her by choosing her as the Mother of his Son.The hymn of Mary announces a revolution which God will bring about through his Son. This revolution has a variety of aspects: it is moral ("He has confused the proud in their inmost thoughts."); social ("He has deposed the mighty from their thrones and raised the lowly to high places."); and economic ("The hungry he has given every good thing, while the rich he has sent empty away").
To be called by God for any task, brings with it a crown of sorrow and a crown of joy. God chooses us not for our own glorification, but in order to use us to bring about his kingdom. Like Mary, all of us should respond with humility and be grateful to God for choosing us as his instruments.
Breakfast with Santa/ Mission Sunday
Mission Sunday will be Sunday December 6th in place of Breakfast with Santa. The Men's and Ladies Societies will be hosting a breakfast for the children of the parish. There will be one liturgy that morning at 10 am for the children to bring wrapped gifts to the altar and then the breakfast will follow. Children will still be able to get a picture with Santa. Any questions please contact the rectory 314-621-0056.
Choir Christmas Concert
Please join us for a Christmas Concert Saturday December 5th at 6:30 pm in church. John LeCuyer, Mike Vitale, and the amazing choir have been working really hard in preparing for this special event. All are invited to listen to the sounds of the season.
There will be cookies and drinks served after the concert in the Cedars Hall.
Please remember those less fortunate this Christmas Season by picking an ornament off the giving tree. Please return the wrapped gift no later than Sunday December 20th.
As part of our formation, one of the goals of our ministry is to help parishioners develop a greater understanding of our rich Maronite Catholic History and Heritage. In furtherance of that goal we will be adding a short explanation to each bulletin about some aspect of our faith. Here is another portion about our Maronite Liturgy. If you have questions about Catholic teaching or our Maronite tradition, or would like to suggest a topic, please email us or tell us the next time we see you. Thank you and God Bless.
Preparation of the Gifts
The Preparation of the Gifts reminds us that the liturgy is an act of offering by the whole community. It is the people that bring their time, treasures, and talents to the Eucharistic celebration. The bread and wine selected from among the gifts are chosen to become the Body and Blood of Christ. Similarly, our gifts and dedication to be of service to Christ are consecrated through the action of the divine liturgy.
Lighting of the Church
Light is taken for granted by most people in the twentieth century. Our modern science has demystified the sun, the cycle of the seasons and the solar year. The invention of electricity has given ordinary human creatures power over light and darkness. Earlier generations were in awe of the sun and light. When day came to a close and pitch darkness covered the earth, they prayed that the sun would rise again and that warmth and life would again deliver them from the seemingly endless cold and a dying earth. Our ancestors had a deep awareness of their total dependence on light.
However, modern science can also make us aware of the absolute necessity of light in our lives. Photosynthesis is critical to any life at all on earth. If humans were deprived absolutely of light for even a short time, they would go mad and ultimately die. It is no accident that according to Albert Einstein the speed of light is the absolute for our universe.
Our faith tradition teaches us that primordial light was the first creation of God and thus the very stuff of the universe. God is portrayed as the "Father of Lights" and Christ is the Light of the world. The Bible often teaches us that we ultimately choose to live our lives either according to the Way of Light or the Way of Darkness; and that light leads to life while darkness leads to death. The true nature of Christ was revealed as uncreated light at the transfiguration, and it was the light of Christ at his death that destroyed the darkness of Sheol (the region of the dead). Our immortal destiny is presented as the eighth day of creation where the sun will never set, where we are called to view the shining face of Christ.
It is for all these reasons that the lighting of the Church in preparation for the divine liturgy has such a great significance. In participating in this act we are proclaiming our readiness to be children of the light and to allow our deeds to be judged in the open light of day. The lighting of the candles announces the presence of Christ, the light of the world, whom we welcome among us. In the fully lighted church which represents the universe in miniature, we give thanks for the light and warmth of God's creation.

The respect for the environment is for ARISTEA a fundamental commitment having the awareness of the critical level reached today , due to pollution, to waste management and to the exploitation of natural resources.
To attain higher environmental protection objectives, ARISTEA equipped herself with an effective instrument for pollution control and for the exploitation of natural resources, implementing an organizational system according to the norm UNI EN ISO 14001:2004.
In 2007 Aristea decided to adhere to Community Regulation EMAS (Environmental Management & Audit Scheme), obtaining the registration of the site of via Bosco Fili in the industrial area of Battipaglia with the number IT-000872 dated 16 May 2008, in conformity to the then in force EC Regulation 761/2001. Today, following to the expiration of the Registration date (24 July 2010), Aristea renews her commitment towards the environment , revising her own environmental management scheme and the Environmental Declaration , in the light of EC new Regulation 1221/2009, known as EMAS III.
The management system sets the objectives of " quality of pollution" always higher, fostering constant improvements of the environmental performances by adopting policies and programs submitted to systematic, objective and periodical evaluation.
Furthermore, ARISTEA periodically renews her commitment for the reduction of environmental impacts , investing in training , in staff awareness and in more eco-friendly technologies. An essential element of the commitment of ARISTEA is the communication to the public.

I am working on high frequency trading platform for the last 3 years. currently most of our competitors now talks about latency for the round trip time takes at the magnitude of single digit micro-seconds within their own system, that is from market tick received to order leaves for exchange.
Currently fastest speed of the round trip time I heard of is achieved by utilizing FPGA technology, which has latency of only 2 micro-seconds.
Below is rough description of the idea of speed of high frequency trading, but do not be fooled with the latency number they provided. We can have further discussion or idea sharing in my following posts. A basic guideline is to make your market tick to order path as short as possible. And outside software itself, different combination of OS, Network Cards, Router, Switch will have huge impact on the system performance. FPGA board has its advantage to bypass OS completely.
High-frequency trading now revolves around microseconds and even nanoseconds. Picoseconds are on the horizon.
1 millisecond (ms) = one thousandth of a second
1 microsecond (us) = one millionth of a second
1 nanosecond (ns) = one billionth of second
1 picosecond (ps) = one-trillionth of a second
A fast trader can type and submit perhaps five trades in a minute, said Paul Michaud, a trading and risk management specialist at the software group of International Business Machines Corp <IBM.N> in Houston. In those 60 seconds, exchange systems and black boxes will soon be able to transmit 60 million trades, he said.
"Generally people view we're in a race to zero here. I mean literally we're in a race to zero. Speed of light is actually an issue for a lot of our clients," Michaud said.
"An electrical signal can travel down a wire 200 meters in one microsecond," said Greg Allen, vice president of governance, architecture and planning at TMX Group Inc <X.TO>, parent of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
"A blink of the eye is about 200 milliseconds," Allen said. "The fastest exchange or ATS (alternative trading system) would've been in the range of 5 milliseconds," referring to trading venues built up to five years ago. "Now, the the best ones claim to be around 500 microseconds — so half a millisecond."

[JAG #2] Shabazz Palaces - 22/05 @ The Harley, Sheffield
Small Ideas are very happy to announce that we're teaming up with Harley Live to bring the amazing Seattle hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces who will be playing at The Harley in May.
The first hip-hop crew signed to the Sub Pop label, Shabazz Palaces is
the brainchild of Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, although the Digable
Planets member isn't so quick to admit it. In 2009, Shabazz Palaces
released two EPs -- one self-titled, the other titled Of Light -- but
Butler's name didn't appear on either. No promo shots, no social
networking sites, no interviews and no press releases were issued by
the enigmatic, Seattle-based project, but that didn't stop the local
press from throwing praise at these EPs, which hit much harder than
Digable while retaining that forward-thinking wordplay. The EPs became
favourites at the Sub Pop offices, too, and in 2010, the usually indie
rock label signed the project, releasing their debut album, Black Up,
in 2011
Support TBC
Tickets: £7.00 Harley Live/Small Ideas members, £8.00 non-members, MOTD
Or from The Harley (no booking fee), The Wick At Both Ends (no booking
fee), Record Collector, HMV Fargate, HMV Meadowhall, The Old Sweet
Shop, Kuji, Rocky Horrors and The Arena Ticket Shop

that'd be pretty special, huh

5 hour baby sweater
My DD was here yesterday, and we had a wonderful time together! We did a little shopping and a lot of talking. She left some RH Fiesta baby pink yarn and after some consultation, I started on a 5 hour baby sweater. It's been awhile since I've knitted this one, and I'm having lots of fun. I'm also keeping track of my time, just curious to see how close to 5 hours I get. So far I am 3 hours in, and have knitted the yoke and 3 rows of the body. I think I will knit the sleeves in the round, if I can do them without loose stitches at the ends of the needles.
Do you know how many 5 hour baby sweater patterns are on the internet? I was amazed to find so many. Some versions are identical, others have only a tiny change here or there. Even the names are changed. Some are called Quick or Quickie Sweaters, some are Weekend Sweater or 5 Hour Sweater.
The biggest difficulty in knitting this sweater is understanding the difference between increasing in the next stitch and M1. This pattern uses both kinds of increase, and you will mess up your stitch count if you don't use the kind of increase the pattern states.
I am using Lorraine Major's version, Quick Baby Sweater, and have had no problems.
Here's a very complete version on the Fiber Gyspy Page: 5 Hour Pattern complete with matching booties, hat and optional hood. This one is very good, and includes a good explanation of the different increases, and a bit of the pattern's history.
Here's one that's a pdf version Quickie Baby Sweater with a very nice picture.
Bev's Country Cottage has a version posted here: Weekend Sweater or 5 Hour Baby Sweater with links to more versions of the sweater.
If you've seen all the pictures, and want a simple plain text version, try this one from woolworks.org, 5 hour Sweater
Gail has a nice hat knit in the round to match here:Hat, and a version of the sweater that is a bit more masculine here: Boy Sweater.
This sweater is easy to knit, once you understand which increase you need to make. It was originally developed to use 1 skein of worsted weight yarn. Since skeins are now 3.5 oz instead of 4 oz, I would suggest you start with 2 skeins and indulge in a hat or hood and booties to complete the set. The finished sweater looks a bit boxy, but will actually fit a baby for quite awhile.
Labels: 5 hour baby sweater

It's 5 am and I'm sitting here on the couch while on vacation in Lake Tahoe because I'm unable to sleep. Yesterday I was on the verge of tears all day long and then this morning I woke up at 4 am with tears uncontrollably running down my cheeks...and I'm pissed off about it. I'm tired of this cancer crap. I'm tired of feeling fragile. Cancer is a dark cloud hovering over my head that I can't escape. It's with me everywhere I go. It's part of me. It's in my missing breast. It's displayed on my bald head. It's all I think about. I'm tired of it being the topic of conversation. I don't want to be treated special because I have cancer. I don't want to be sitting here on the couch feeling sorry for myself because of cancer.
I get jealous. I see pregnant women or women with newborns and I feel jealousy...and I feel stupid for feeling jealous. I'm carrying my baby to the best of my ability and my body is doing a pretty good job so far, so I don't understand the jealousy. Yeah, I don't get to enjoy this pregnancy the same way I would if the circumstances were different but is that something I should really feel jealousy over? Pregnancy is filled with fear of the unknown whether you have cancer or not. I will miss out on breast feeding my baby. I will be going through chemo with a newborn. So what? My baby boy is a miracle. I have no reason to be jealous.
I'm filled with conflicted emotions. I read back over what I've typed and tell myself to get over it, just deal with it, to stop allowing it to affect me in such a negative way. But then I rationalize my feelings. They are a display of my weakness...my flesh. My fickle emotions. I'm feeling down right now...in this moment. I know my emotional routine. I get down, I vent and then I move on.
Physically I'm doing okay with the exception of the occasional nausea. Smells affect me greatly and can bring on a wave of nausea in an instant. Yesterday one of my kids ran back from the beach to our cabin to go to the bathroom and didn't make it in time. I wasn't able to clean it up without getting sick. The smell of alcohol on people is another thing that affects me pretty severely. It gives me a lump in my throat. It feels like I'm just about to get sick to the point where I want to, just to get it over with. When my husband has had a drink before bed, it's difficult to fall asleep until the nausea subsides.
I've still been going around bald most of the time. I'm getting used to it...possibly starting to accept it. Although, I don't feel like I can ever truly accept it because I'll always be waiting for the day when I finally have hair again.

Pixie hat
This new pattern is now available in my Ravelry store.
The pixie hat is designed in two sizes - newborn and 3-6 months.
This pattern is easy and a great way of using up left-over sock yarn or any other 4 ply yarn.
It is pretty is two-row stripes, but plain or self-striping yarns will look equally good.
To complete this pattern you should be able to cast on, make and decrease stitches and work with dpns.

I shouldn't make fun, but I had a giggle about a good friend of mine (who will remain unnamed) who just moved from Boston to Chicago and first, was surprised a time change occured. But bigger than that, was his/her realization that when they say "10 9 Central" during TV promos, they mean that even though it's on at 10pm in the East and West, it's on at 9pm in the middle of the country.
Yes, CST is another benefit of living in fly-over country.
