text: I have developed an app for the Android that is an Attorney Time Entry application. The purpose of the app is to allow attorneys to enter time entries from their phone and have them automatically show up on their time entry software on their desktop at the office. I have already deployed this to one firm and am looking now to move to making it a general application on the market that anyone can use. Currently the way the app works is that it goes to the specified server (at the attorney's office) and downloads all the matters from there. The attorney then has a listpick of all of the matters that that specific attorney is working on. He can then enter the number of hours, activity code, task code, description, and date, and submit the information via an email. The email will go to a specified email account that on the server side it receives the comma separated values and uploads them to the internal software. So what I am looking for is to see if there is interest in a firm, or small group of firms working with me to make this a market product. I would work with you to instruct you how to set up things on your end at the server, and you would in turn test the app on your android phones and report any bugs or feature suggestions. This is obviously most useful for a firm that supplies its attorneys with android phones. The beta version of the app will be free and ad-free. Not sure on my plans as far as ads or pricing down the road, but for now i am just looking to get the product out there and working so it can be used by more than the dozen+ i originally developed it for.

We're heading out of the work week and into the weekend, and what's not a better way to end the work week with infuriating Motorola users once again? It turns out that Motorola Mobility has decided to yet again, update their Android software upgrades page. This time they have filled it with a lot of details for the U.S devices and their respective Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rollout. It's a big list, and is also starting to get confusing, so you should make sure to take a look at the source link below to get an entire understanding of it.
As of today, if your phone or tablet (United States only) is not on this list, the Jelly Bean update will not be coming to your handset. Of course, Motorola still says a lot of things are under evaluation, and are subject to change at this moment. Once again, these updates for the United States handsets exclusively. Motorola hasn't said anything about the devices in the rest of the would as of yet, but if you're looking at the list, it is extremely easy to see that the rest of the world will most likely not be getting the update either. I mean seriously, if the Atrix 4G got the update to Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean even, some people here in the United States would seriously be angry.
If your phone was created after the Bionic, it is likely that you will be getting the update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. If not, well, you can only hope that your handset will be able to meet Motorola's requirements for their trade-up program. On another note, if you look at the list, you will see that the Atrix 4G and Atrix 2 have been confirmed to not receive Jelly Bean at all, which means that Motorola has entirely stopped with future updates for the phone. Thankfully, it is eligible for Motorola's trade-in program, so you can get a $100 rebate towards a new Motorola phone. Of course, if you are on AT&T and want to get off of the Atrix bandwagon, you're basically screwed in that area because the Atrix HD is the only Motorola phone on AT&T available for the trade-in program. Just fantastic, huh? Of course, if you are on Big Red (Verizon), you have a slew of new options, and honestly, if I were you, I would probably be a little kid in a candy store right now. Boy, does that Droid Razr M look like a beauty.
Again, make sure to take a look at the full list so you can get an idea of what is eligible for the program and what isn't. While your there, you mine as well also look and see which phones are getting Jelly Bean before making a final decision on which phone you choose. Still, it is expected that all of Motorola's new phones will be getting the update.
All of that said, go ahead and vent. Fill the comments with your terror, and righteous anger.

Every Profitable Site Does This - Do You?
Every single site on the Internet that makes money does two things... It diverts and converts.
First, it diverts traffic from one location to another. The first location could be almost anywhere, the second location is to the site making the money.
Second, it converts that diverted traffic into profit. Maybe it's by selling products, selling clicks, or creating leads. Doesn't matter. The point is, step two isn't that hard.
Step one can be a freaking killer. Suppose you want to make money generating leads for credit card companies. Discover, for example, pays 40 bucks for every new card member you send their way. Sounds good, until you do a Google search for "credit card" and realize there are 56 MILLION sites in the results. Ugghhh. Kind of hard to compete, wouldn't you say? But Discover gives a 5% cashback bonus on gas purchases. And when you do a search for "credit card gas rewards" you get 56 results.
Much better. Now you can not only compete, you can make money. No matter what kind of marketing you do, it stands to reason that if you target overlooked, under-the-radar keyword phrases, you'll divert more traffic and convert more of that traffic into profits. So, how do you FIND these overlooked, under-the-radar keyword phrases?
With a little tool called Micro Niche Finder. http://softhinkin.kickbutt.hop.clickbank.net With Micro Niche Finder, you can uncover untapped niche markets and completely DOMINATE them in Google. You can find new keywords related to your base keywords that are more profitable than the keywords you're using now. You can rank higher in the search engines, thus bringing in more ttraffic.
The traffic you get will be more TARGETED, thus converting at a higher rate. And if you use Google Adwords, you will pay LESS for more highly targeted and better converting traffic! http://softhinkin.kickbutt.hop.clickbank.net
Abdou Karim and SOFThinking
P.S. Are you marketing ANYTHING online? Then you need Micro Niche Finder.
Think about it: More highly targeted traffic with higher conversion rates for less cost, and even no cost. Now that's a no-brainer. http://softhinkin.kickbutt.hop.clickbank.net

Recycling as waste
Do we see gold or do we see garbage?
Mike Munger is interviewed by Russ Roberts from EconTalk on the issue of recycling. Munger poses the question: "Is it[the recyclable] garbage or a resource?"
If it's garbage, then it's just better to throw it away. If it takes more resources to turn it back into something useful, then recycling it is actually wasteful. Sometimes, just throwing things away is better for the environment.

Count Dante and Incredibly Strange Wrestling
His new book, Beer, Blood, and Cornmeal: Seven Years of Incredibly Strange Wrestling was just released last month and I have been having a great time reading it.
Bob spent seven years of his life living deep inside one of San Francisco's bizarre counter cultures, The Incredibly Strange Wrestling League(ISW) and lived to tell about it. ISW featured a cast of lucha libre-inspired characters who would step into a makeshift ring and battle it out, while bands like NOFX, the Dickies, and the Donnas provided the live soundtrack.
Fight spectacles included bizarre wrestlers likethe Ku Klux Klowns in heated battle against Hasidic Jews, and a flock of Christians being "fed" to the lions. Count Dante would battle the Poontangler over paternity of her soon to arrive baby. It was some way out stuff wrote with humour, affection and a keen eye for the absurd detail and histories of all involved.
Meanwhile, I got some great assistance in England from a young man name Karl Kraft.who wants to help me with the film. So he had designed some posters to be distributed to Dojos tracking down people for stories about buying the World's Deadliest Fighting Secrets. I have a way to record stories about the buying the book online.
Some of video testimonies will be included in the film and others will be in a section of the new website that is presently under construction.
Things are moving forward. We are back in court May 9th. Aguiar notified the court he would continue to act Pro Se, on his own behalf, asked for a jury trial and said he is open to mediation.
The film moves forward....

The Hall of Kung-Fu: McVicker's Masters
I ran into yet another acquaintance from those martial arts days. George, whose name I did not remember, reminded me about how people would get into fights during these really badly done films. The excitement was just too much for some people, it seems.
We called the joint McVicker's Masters Hall of Gung-fu back in those days. Some folks came to see the films, some came to be IN the films. The inherent contradictions were sometimes resolved by a beat-down. "Southside Boxing" tended to reign supreme in those situations. No real masters hung out at Kung-fu movies all day, right?
There were few of these Hong Kong films I grew to love. I liked 5 fingers of Death, but it was more for the curiosity than quality. It was not until Brice Lee came along that the action got more exciting and stylish in Hong Kong films for my taste.
I was wild about the chambara films presented at the monthly Japanese Cinema screenings. Omar Kaihatsu, a Japanese American Insurance salesman, did the programming at Francis Parker High School , an independent private school on the North Side that had 35mm projectors in the auditorium.
Kaihatsu-san played the best of the Samurai Cinema as well as classic Japanese arts films and family films like Tora-San. I usually had to sit through the occasionally enjoyable, tear-laden Toro-san film series to get to Zatoichi's madcap bloodletting adventures.
This is where I saw Kurosawa's Sanshiro Sugata and Masaki Kobayashi's Samurai Rebellion.
I saw Shohei Imamura's Vengence is Mine and Hiroshi Teshigahara's Woman in the Dunes, all are films that influenced the ways in which I saw and interpreted cinema.
I was always disappointed that the Hong Kong films of the late seventies never matched the Japanese action films in look and feel. What was great about them was the scene itself. I got a real education and introduction to global cinema by going to Kaihatsu's programs. By the time Hong Kong Kung-fu came along I was throughly jaded by the stylizes images and well choreographed action of chambara.
Our conversation went back to who is still working out, teaching, alive and sane. Of course the name John Keehan arises, per usual. He asks me if I heard about this film being done about Count Dante. I guess the word is really out.
He gave me the names of some people to talk to and went on his way, but not before offering me his provate detective services should I so need them in future.
Meanwhile I have been hearing of a black Shao-lin Society based someplace on the Southside. They held an event a few months ago and I am a bit curious about them. From the description I got of the event they seem to practice a type of cultural immersion. It will be interesting to find out more about them. I put George right on it.

A Note From Master Woodrow Edgell
The following letter from Reverand Woodrow Edgell is in response to claims made on the Fall River Black Dragon Fighting Society Blog regarding Master Joe Dodaro. Mr. Edgell was a long time student of John Keehan who split with him when he became Count Dante. Edgell is Joe Dodaro's teacher and they were both student of Shaolin Poison Hand Master James Lee(not James Yimm Lee) in Chicago's Chinatown when few non-Asians were accepted for training. My whole purpose with my film is to present an accurate history of John Keehan and the world of martials arts in Chicago and America during the 1960s to mid-1970s. The following letter from Rev Edgell is a great help in doing that.
April 2, 2008
Floyd Webb,
A person studies Martial Arts for protection, health and to understand his purpose in life. A Master will only advance him to a high-level if he believes the student has good intentions and respect for the Art. When the student becomes a Master, he takes on great responsibility and sets a good example for his students.
Credentials and reputation are what makes the Master successful. I have been with Joseph Dodaro for forty years, I watched him take his Sandan (third degree black belt) in Aikido after thirteen years of hard study. Joe and I studied Aikido for several years together and Joe was advanced to Yodan (fourth degree black belt) after twenty-five years.
We both studied under Grandmaster Hsu Fun Yuen for several years and I witnessed him receiving his level of Master after twenty years. I helped him open his first school and taught some classes. He was required to teach for five years and have over 100 students each year before he was given his certificate. I have advanced Joe to sixth degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate and Grandmaster James Lee advanced him to Master of Shaolin Chuan-Fa.
Joe is the only one I taught the entire system of Shaolin Chuan-Fa, Shaolin Kempo Karate and Ju-Te. I gave Joe permission twenty years ago to run the Ju-Te system and he has taught it to only a selected few over the past twenty years. Once I retire Joe will be the sole Master and hold all rights to the Edgell Ju-Te system in the United States. He has taken many styles to great levels and never used his skills in an unlawful way. He is hard working, honest, and is successful in business.
It hurts to see people foolishly say he is not real, they have no idea of his dedication and the cost he has incurred. He is being judged entirely by his performance a You Tube video of basic techniques.
It has come to my attention that people have high rank in Ju-Te, the system I created, and it is a combination of Aikido, Jujitsu, and Karate. I did not give them rank and do not know who these people are. The only rank I gave out was about five first-degree black belts in my school. I taught Ju-Te for only five years and gave John Keehan a black belt in Ju-te and kibo. I was a sixth degree black belt in Ju-Te because I based it on my Karate rank. When I met Grandmaster James Lee I dedicated all my time in Shaolin Chuan-Fa a more superior Art than Ju-Te.
The main reason students of John Keehan never knew John studied from Grandmaster James Lee was because one of the conditions to be excepted by James Lee was it must be kept behind closed doors. John was wealthy and went to James Lee and paid him a tremendous amount of money to learn. I on the other hand was beaten for two weeks to pass a test to be accepted as a student. I found out later from one of James Lee's six disciples that John had no test. Chinese Masters did not teach Americans at that time. I found out recently not even Doug Dwyer was not aware that John and I were studying under Grandmaster James Lee. Besides the fact that John had to follow James Lee's rules, he felt as a businessman that students would go to James Lee instead of him. John trained in one of a more beginning system of Poison Hands and he transferred them to a Karate version because although the original version that I learned is more effective, it does not have the flash John needed to make himself look more deadly.
John did not want to be thrown, use chokes, or practice takedowns, only use fast strikes, while ripping and clawing his victim. James Lee was against John doing his book, because it had techniques that can be related to his system, and expose James Lee as his teacher. John's short career ended with James Lee when he received unfavorable publicity.
I stayed on for several more years and completed the Shaolin Chuan-Fa System with the Deadly Poison Hands. I was allowed to work with James Lee's disciples, three liked me and three hated me, but since James Lee accepted me, they followed his orders. When James Lee advanced Joe to Master of Shaolin Chuan-Fa, he make it clear that Joe was my responsibility for life. He said Joe and I were to continue our training with Hsu, Fun Yuen and that Joe must attain a level of Master In Tai Ji.
Joe was at Master Level with Hsu Fun Yuen, but did not receive his certificate yet. Joe was told not to say anything about James Lee or teach the Poison Hands advance levels. After twenty years in secret, he then elected to release the first five at a basic level. I disagreed that he did this, but he explained it was for Law Enforcement and only the first Five at a basic level were released. It took a few years, but I agreed because of how Joe was presenting his system. The system also included health, KI, and promoted long term study.
When John Keehan was teaching students to fight mainly in tournaments, he had the top winners in the nation. Black Belt Magazine recognized him as one of the best Karate instructors. He had an excellent style with many great fighters. When he became Count Dante, he organized the Black Dragon Fighting Society and taught a more mixed Martial Arts Style. Black Belts disapproved this new system and began to leave his organization. He lost his intensity as a teacher, and changed his life style. I did not want any part of the Black Dragons, or Count Dante, but stayed loyal to John Keehan. I always would teach classes for him when he needed me, but at that time I had my own school and style.
I have the responsibility to watch over Joe and want to see his name cleared up. He has worked full-time over the past thirty-eight years, this is not a part-time job, and it is his life. I do not care about the problems of the Black Dragons, nor do I want to argue with them. Joe approached me about contacting you to be in the Documentary film, I was against it because all the problems with Count Dante and I felt it would open a can of worms. He felt that we just show the good John Keehan by stating a secret that has been kept for over thirty years. If people knew he studied under an actual Shaolin Warrior Monk, it would bring great pride to his students and give him the respect he deserves. Joe also felt it would benefit me to have some recognition for all the years I studied the Arts, and help promote his Poison Hands. I are not trying to argue with anyone, only stating the truth. I will repeat this at an interview, but as you know I do not do well speaking live. A simple solution to end all controversy is success.
Thank You for your time
Master Woodrow Edgell

Recent research developments.
Plans for several more interviews have solidified for this weekend and over the next month.
I have a childhood friend and a relative of Dante's to speak with as well as a scholar who has written on martial arts and popular culture.
It has been hard to get an interview arranged in Japan with Akira Toriyama, creator, writer and illustrator of the Dragonball Z manga series. He seldom gives interviews.
I may be able to score an interview with one of the producers at Toei Animation in Tokyo. There is a character in DragonBall Z, Mr. Satan, or Hercules, who seems to be styled after Count Dante, cape, afro and specially carved facial hair. The appeal of the comic add is definitely the key to the global awareness of the legend.
The additional interviews will allow me to flesh out my themes and give substance to the idea of an urban legend who has achieved a global underground notoriety.

Defamation has it's own repercussions
What bothers me is that individuals seek to slander and defame the names of others who are cooperating with me in the making of this film.
John Creeden III, crony and allie of William Aguiar, has continually slandered and insulted people I have written about in my blog. He uses his blog to attempt to undermine me in his deluded sense of megalomania. Like children, they seek to destroy what they cannot have. Of late they have launched unprovoked attacks on Master Joe Dodoro. This stuff has to stop.
Dodaro has doe nothing to them said nothing about them. Dodaro is a professional martial arts instructor and a successful, respected businessman. It is shameful of Creeden to constantly annoy people in order to attempt to disrupt the making of the film. It is not working.
They merely react to undermine to attempt to impose their own inflated sense of importance over a historical period of martial arts that they were not even involved in.
Creeden can claim free speech all he wants but people like Sue Scheff have won as much a s$11 million in a jury verdict "...for damages of what was done to my organization, my family and myself by an angry and obsessed woman. I fought back - I won." she reports.
He thinks there is no possible repercussion for his actions. This is so foolish. I am breaking my silence to speak about this because I feel really bad about Joe being drawn into this mess. I was silent when he Creeden attacked Lawrence Day, and Mike Felkoff. I am not being silent now.
It was agreed in Judges chambers that this crap would stop. William Aguiar asked for it to stop, not me. I am not nor have I ever been an instigator of this online harassment and defamation. My only "crime" has been to stand up against this illegal blackmail related to their attempts to abuse copyright, in my opinion.
Creeden attempts to stifle and make me reluctant to write about my experiences or people I come in contact with in the course of making the film or fear of the spin that he will use against them. He seeks to stifle my free speech by making me fearful of his idiocy. Too bad for him. All is well and the film is being made. I am using what I am allowed to under fair use and that is the end of that. He can call me a thief, crook, whatever all he wants. He can threaten me with alledged hitmen named "Just Ray" and wish me ill health all he wants. That does not change the my right to Fair Use.
Creeden, most likely with Aguiar's knowledge, seek to slander and defame people who are more qualified, more experienced than they are out of spite, jealously and some weird sense of entitlement because their dad's knew John Keehan 35 years ago. I mean, they are like the Scientologists of martial arts with no following, just a computer and an internet connection. They really believe there are few repercussions for their actions. Read the following related to Ms Scheff's case.
Creeden's crap online in archived forever in the history of the internet. I will not discuss this again online. Let the chips fall where they may. I cannot be stopped, nothing Creeden says will stop the completion of this film and his attacks on other people will only further confirm his lack of class and intelligence.
"A recent case showed how powerful Defamation laws, applied online, can be. In November 2006, a Florida woman, Sue Scheff, was awarded $11.3 million in damages in Broward County Circuit Court, in one of the biggest awards ever tolled. The suit was filed for Internet defamation, and the jury found a Louisiana woman had posted caustic messages against the Scheff and her company, claiming she was a "con artist" and "fraud". The jury found the charges were completely false, so the Louisiana woman had no defense. Interestingly, Scheff's attorney had offered to settle the case for $35,000 before it went before the jury."

I don't think this entry will change Creeden's behavior. I am saying what I need to say in order to let the people who have helped me in the project with information with kindness and courtesy know that I oppose this kind of behavior that Creeden is directing at them.
I expect Creeden will find something else stupid to say after he sees this post, in all the predictable ways.
I apologize to my lawyers, but I can't allow this guy to just attack people who merely gave me an interview or who have just tried to help in the making of the film. Something had to be said.

I've covered lots of different types of clothing in the "My Incredible Shrinking Clothes" series on this blog, from my swimsuits to my dress shirts (all six prior editions are archived on the My Favorite Posts page), but today's post is about one of the most popular types of clothing that can be found in nearly everyone's closet…
Usually, these posts include a photo of a piece of clothing that I wore at my heaviest, which I compare to clothing I can fit into now, but this post is a little different, because I don't have any pairs of jeans from when I was at my heaviest. It may be hard to believe, but for a span of close to a decade, I didn't wear jeans at all. I didn't even own a pair.
At some point in college I stopped liking jeans. As my waistline expanded, I found them less and less comfortable. Meanwhile, the pants in my closet that I grew to favor most had one thing in common: elastic waistbands.
Oh, elastic waistband, how I loved you! You made my life so easy. I never had to pay attention to my actual pants size, because elastic waistband pants aren't sold by the number, they're sold in basic Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large sizes. I was a 3XL. Plus, elastic waistbands are forgiving after junk food binges – you never have to worry about not fitting into them the next day.
As my love and reliance on elastic grew, my love for denim shrunk, and by the time I moved out to California after college, there was none left in my closet. I found jeans with elastic waistbands at the big & tall store, but they were so goofy, unflattering, and ugly that I couldn't bear the thought of wearing them. So I went jeans-free.
By June 2010, I had lost around 80 pounds, and the thought started percolating in my brain that maybe it was time to buy my first pair of jeans in a looooong time. Despite my 80-pound loss, I was still too big to shop at major retailers, so I went to the big & tall store and started trying jeans on. I found a pair that fit that were 46″ around the waist. A few months later, I was able to buy 44s. A few months after that, I bought my first pair of 42s, and the bigger sizes ended up in the donation bin at Goodwill. And so on.
Lately I've been noticing that my current jeans are a little looser, and then all my friends on the kayaking trip I went on last month came to the consensus that my jeans were just too big. That's when I started trying on jeans, and realizing that I was fitting into jeans that were one size smaller. That's an amazing feeling, by the way. Even though smaller jeans were fitting, I wasn't finding any that were quite right for me: the cut wasn't flattering, I wasn't nuts about the finish or color, there was some other detail or stitching that bothered me.
The other day I went shopping with my mom, and I finally ended up coming home with a new pair of jeans. It's my first new pair in about 6 months, and yep, they're a new smaller size.
Ladies and Gentlemen, take a look at my SIZE 36″ JEANS!
They're Levi's 514 jeans, waist 36″; length 32″. 514 jeans are called Slim Straight, which means the jeans are slim cut through the butt and thigh, but have a straight leg. They're comfortable, and even though you can't see it in the picture, they make my ass look good!
While fitting into 36″ jeans is certainly a notable milestone by itself, there's a greater milestone that I must mention. Even though I wore elastic pants almost exclusively before I started losing weight, I went to a wedding two summers ago that required the purchase of a new suit. The suit pants that I bought were size 56″ waist. That's right, folks…
…I've lost TWENTY INCHES around my waist!
Keep it up, David!

Just when I was thinking that there was only one goddess who was lying supine, out came a story about another goddess who too was lying supine.
Periyayi amman is that Goddess in the small hamlet of Kuyilapalayam, in Vizhupuram district.
Once upon a time in the midst of this hamlet there was a
temple. Once on a Thursday the priest of the temple locked the doors to the shrine and left for his hut. As he entered his hut, he saw a dancing cobra in the living room. He screamed for help and the whole village assembled at his doorstep in no time.
They tried different ways to entice the snake outside but to no avail. Suddenly, a woman in the crowd let out a shriek as some spirit had entered her being.
The possessed woman said "I am Angala amman. I was the presiding deity in the west of this village and was guarding the village from evil spirits and made the village prosperous. But the villagers did not care for me, nor for their own fellow beings. I have left that village. I will let you know in seven days where I want to reside." The possessed woman fell down in a faint. The snake was now nowhere to be seen.
The villagers waited eagerly for seven days. On the seventh day, the villagers congregated at the priest's hut and invited the goddess using cymbals and dholaks.
Suddenly the priest began talking and walking like one possesses. The goddess spoke through him. "Follow me, she said. I will show you the place where I want to reside."
The villagers followed the priest who went to the eastern side of the village. Circumambulating a peepul tree thrice the priest came to a stop and sat beneath the tree.
The villagers built an open top temple for the goddess here. Just outside this hut of a temple lies the Goddess also known as Periyayi amman. The statue of this goddess is 25 feet in length and 13 ft in breadth. At her feet are the idols of Ganesha and Muruga.
Another story doing its rounds here about the idols:
Once there was demon by name Vallala kandan who ruled Melmalayanur near Tiruvannamalai. He was meditating on Lord Shiva. Pleased with his devotion, Shiva appeared before him and asked what he wanted.
Vallalakandan said "I want a son who will be just like you."
Shiva said that he will take birth as his son from the womb of the demon's wife Vallalakandi."
The demon was overjoyed. But Lord Vishnu on hearing this boon was scared. He rushed to talk to Goddess Shakthi, Shiva's consort. If the demoness gave birth to Shiva, the bloodshed would cause lot of damage to the people and the earth. So both of them discussed what to do. In the end when the demoness went into labor, Lord Vishnu made every human being disappear using his powers. Since there was no one in the village to assist Vallalakandi during her labor Vallalakandan was worried. At the moment Goddess Shakti appeared as a midwife and the demon was happy to see her. He took her to his wife and there the midwife requested him to get her a dustpan, sickle and a pot. The suspicious demon asked her why she needed the above things. The midwife said "the sickle is to cut the umbilical cord, the dustpan would be used to collect the waste adn the pot to clean the place with water."
Satisfied with her reply the demon went to wait outside the delivery room. Shakthi then took her own form with sixteen hands and killed the demoness and her child. She came out and killed Vallalakandan too. But she still thirsted for blood and wandered around in her ferocious form. Worried at the outcome, the devas decided to pacify Shakti. They built a chariot and made Shakti sit on it. However, this didn't help, so they magically made the chariot disappear and the Goddess is said to have fallen supine. Just like the Devas had anticipated, the fall made her calm. That is the reason behind the supine idol of the Goddess in this temple.
This temple of Periyayi amman lies 8 kms from Pondicherry on the East Coast road. The temple is situated on the left of this road driving about a km, en route to Auroville, in village of Kuyilapalayam. The Goddess is considered the presiding deity of this village.

This charming hamlet, nestled at the foot of the amazing Appalachian Mountain Range, offers many tantalizing restaurants, bountiful boutiques, eye-candy art showrooms, and a liveily night life … all set a midst resplendent views! Additionally, Asheville is home to UNCA, a liberal arts college that boasts of small class size and low tuition (approx. $7K for in-state and $14K for out-of-state). We are seriously thinking of moving to the Asheville area!
