I've been finding all these photos of things I never posted while looking for photos to print for Christmas.
And I have to say,
as I go through everything,
I am getting crazy wistful.
This past year has been really hard, but really amazing!
If I read my blog posts, its hard for me to hear the amazing. I just hear the hard. (Despite the fact that I really didn't try to dwell on that in posts.)
If I look at photos,
I see the amazing
and I just want to cry.
This is just one of many that take my breath away...
We had JUST moved.
I was 21 Weeks Pregnant.
I barely knew where I was.
I didn't know who would delivery my baby.
I was so worried about how this baby would be born.
it was Valentines day,
And I was in love.
With my husband.
With my baby.
Despite the weight of the unknown and the pain of upheaval,
There was joy.
And on top of that---
I cannot ever fully grasp the fact that my body
has held two different bodies inside of itself.
I stand in awe of God's skill and love.
I can't really put into words what the pictures do to my heart.
That's whats amazing to me...
The pictures aren't showing me the pain, fear and loneliness,
they are showing me the grace, love and miracle of it all.
I can't believe how awesome pregnancy went for me this time.
Emotionally, woah -- hardest thing ever,
physically though-- amazing!
And circumstantially ---
God literally moved me ---
and got me to a place of safety.
I cannot fully wrap my mind around that.
Its just so big still.
Speaking of big
(and cheesy transition lines)
Check out these pants.
Jasmine so often has pants that do this.
I don't know if that's common for toddlers or if its just her little body.
And that was the intended point of this post:
A fix.
For those that will brave the sewing machine.
Its pretty easy.
You just take a piece of elastic, and sew it across the inside of the waist band in the back.
Cover most the center.
Hold the elastic pulled as tight as you can, towards you, as you sew over it.
(Sometimes I use the zig zag stitch. Sometimes I just use the straight stitch. It works either way.)
And now they fit!
I didn't take enough photos to do a really great tutorial.
(Yeah, you can fix your own pants this way!!)
Sorry for the drama followed up by seemingly random practicality.
Its just where my mind has been, as I scroll through photos of this year.
And I figured I might as well post the sort-of-tutorilas I've documented but didn't share.

Dang it, I worked hard on that post. And they've destroyed it.
Ok, there was this little guy, one of the Southpark people, going in for advice on how to set up a business....
I can't remember the rest, but it was funny.
Can anybody help me?

If this was last night's episode, I haven't watched it yet...every is taking a back seat to the MLB playoffs right now, so it sitith in my Tivo queue. I'm betting it's hilarious, given last week's episode where Kyle's little brother Ike was possessed by the ghost of Michael Jackson.

3M Versaflo M-Series face shields and helmets are lightweight, compact, well-balanced, easy to use and easy to maintain, providing integrated protection from multiple hazards.
All Versaflo headtops provide a direct comfortable stream of flowing air to the head and the face, making hot environments more tolerable while greatly reducing visor fogging.
3M Versaflo TR-300 powered air respirators feature a lightweight, slim and easy-to-use design, delivering air in environments with particulate hazards. All 3M Versaflo headtops are cross-compatible with 3M Jupiter powered air respirators and 3M Versaflo V-Series supplied air regulators.

Shadows of Verdenheim
Desert Star
Desert Star
Size: Medium dwindling to small sized city.
Location: Desert Star is just off a major trade route in between two major cities, Jonesboro on the south eastern edge of Caserta and Oudane Oasis in the Tadrat Desert.
Goings on: Currently, Desert Star is of no consequence to the outside world, but there are rumors that the town is having trouble on the inside though nobody can place the turmoil as the people seem always have a smile when any visitors are present.
Major Players: The most notable citizens of Desert Star are Lord Gavin Montagu, Sir Walter De Grey and Charles the Bald.
Lord Montagu is the last in a long line of famed vintners. The Montagu family owns half the town and thus the De Facto governor of the city. Unfortunately, for the citizens, he is only concerned with the family business. He cares not for any of the crime that goes on in the city as long as his business is not affected.
Charles the Bald is a local ruffian turned crime lord is slowly creating the underworld and is becoming more hostile and bold with his power. Charles' ambition is to build power to overthrow Montagu and steal his recipe and land to control the whole city.
Sir Walter De Grey is a guard captain known for hard justice. He was brought in from the Kingdom of Ord to bring more order to Desert Star.
Commerce: Most of the goods traded here are typical supplies, weapons and armor. Historically though, Desert Star is known for its primary commodity, a unique cactus fruit called [desert plum] that grows exclusively in the area. The Desert Star is the cities namesake and cactus that bears these fruit and is the reason for the town's longevity. Desert plums produce a popular sacramental wine called Desert Euphoria by the creator and sole proprietor the Montagu family. The recipe is a closely guarded trade secret held by the long-standing vintner family. Desert Euphoria is popular for its unique salty-sweet flavor and mild psychotropic effects, which is known to enhance worship.
Currently, merchants, pilgrims or visitors not purchasing Desert Euphoria or needed supplies for the road, visit to deal in the newer flourishing black market trade. The most common of these black market goods include human trafficking and child labor. Further exacerbating things, Montagu's hermit lifestyle and passive approach to lordship and little presence of law in the area, the ruffians have come to build this location up as a hub for these illegal goods and transactions.
Under the leadership of Charles, the honest trade is not disrupted as to prevent arousing suspicion of any visiting local sheriffs or nearby Bronzemen. This tactic has allowed the black market commerce to flourish.Main Page Places The Tadrat Desert

Joe Jonas & Ashley Greene Party In Las Vegas — They Were 'Laughing & Talking' For 6 Hours, Says Eyewitness!
Has absence made the heart grow fonder. It sure looked that way ! HollywoodLife.com can exclusively report that the pair looked very happy together and even left together! Do YOU think he wrote his new song, "I'm Sorry" for HER?
Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene broke up months ago, but at a Friday, Sept 23rd VIP party in Las Vegas they reunited publicly! Insiders tell HollywoodLife.com the pair stayed out together until 3 a.m. Hmm! Did he write his new song, "I'm Sorry" for her as a way to get back into her good graces?
Joe, 22, and Ashley, 24, were both at TAO Nightclub on Sept. 23, and partied with other celebs such as Dancing With The Stars partners Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, a source at the club says. Even though the two broke up in March, they seemed ultra -friendly and like they were both having an extremely good time.
"Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene were both in Las Vegas Friday night for the first I Heart Radio music festival held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena," an eyewitness tells us.
Ryan Seacrest hosted the two-night extravaganza. On Friday night, Alicia Keys performed along with Jay-Z, Coldplay and The Black Eyed Peas. Following the concert, Joe and Ashley headed over to TAO at the Venetian Hotel.
"After the show, Joe went to TAO nightclub with a group of his friends where he met up with Ashley Greene who was with a bunch of her girlfriends," our source dishes. "They got there at about 9 p.m. and stayed until 3 a.m. They all looked like they were having a great time. Joe and Ashley spent most of the night together talking and laughing. They were later joined by Rob Kardashian and his Dancing With the Stars' partner Cheryl Burke. There was a group of about 25 people."
Adds a second insider, "They all left together at 3 a.m., Joe and his friends, along with Ashley and her friends."
Now interestingly Joe Jonas recently admitted that he wrote his new song, " I'm Sorry", as an apology to someone whose heart he broke. Could it have been for Ashley, paving the way for them to get back together?
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — should these former flames get back together?
— William Earl, with reporting by Sandra Clark

After brushing through my eyebrows with a spoolie, I use the Benefit 'gimme brow' in the shade 'medium/deep', to add colour to my brows and set the shape.
Next I fill in my eyebrows with the Natural Collection (Boots) eyeshadow in 'Crushed Walnut'. I only do this lightly just to add more colour, and fill in anywhere looking a little sparse.
I then use the Soap&Glory 'Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil' in the shade 'Brownie Points' to add shape to my brows. This is my favourite brow product as it means I can shape my brows perfectly, and is so much better to any brow pencils that I've tried before! I use the crayon end to make a faint outline on the top of my brows, and use the felt tip end to draw hair like lines wherever I need them.
Next I use the L.A. Girl 'PRO.conceal' concealer in the colour 'porcelain' to go around my brows in-order to clean up the edges, which make my brows stand out more. I blend this in with a small flat eyeshadow brush. I then use my Benefit 'High Beam' highlighter underneath my brow bone, so it looks like my eyebrows have more of an arch.
Finally, I use my Maybelline 'Brow Drama' in 'medium brown', to set my eyebrows, and I find this product makes my brows look more natural.
If you have any favourite brow products please write them in the comments below, I love trying out new ones!

Here we are again – our government doing what they do best – picking winners and losers. President Trump has done a lot of good things for this nation thus far, but protectionist tariffs aren't one of them.
The first protectionist tariff, the "Dallas" tariff, was enacted in 1816. It happened again in 1824, in 1828, the infamous "Tariff of Abominations," in 1832 to fix the problem in 1828 (which it didn't), and in 1842, the "Black" tariff.
All these were passed to benefit the Northern States at the expense of the South, and all were major contributing factors in the run-up to the Civil War. No, the Civil War was not just about slavery.
And then there was the infamous "Smoot-Hawley" tariff of 1930. It was named after its authors, Utah Senator Reed Smoot and Oregon Congressman Willis Hawley. The purpose was to support U.S. farmers who had been ravaged by the Dust Bowl.
By the time 1930 rolled around, practically every legislator had added protections to Smoot-Hawley for their states' industries. The bill ended up with proposed tariffs on 20,000 individual imported goods. Does this sound eerily familiar to anyone? It's why bills are thousands of pages long – to attempt to hide such things.
This time, instead of agriculture, our government has chosen the American Aluminum and Steel industries to be the temporary winners. Yay! read more

Grand homes with exquisite mountain architecture featuring massive logs and rustic stonework make up the unmistakable sense of place found in Bachelor Gulch. Gated entrances offer an extra level of exclusivity, and there's not a single property that doesn't feature impressive views of the valley below and the jagged peaks of the Gore Mountain Range and Castle Peak in the distance.
Bachelor Gulch has its own ski slopes, with a chairlift that serves the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch, and trails that provide a village-to-village ski experience from Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch to Arrowhead. There's also a gondola connection to the Westin Riverfront in Avon at the base of Bachelor Gulch. It's the only residential ski neighborhood considered entirely on-mountain in the Vail Valley. While the Bachelor Gulch ski trails are part of Beaver Creek Resort, they feel much more private and less traveled. It's easy for residents to head out for a few runs without a lot of fuss getting in and out of the resort.
Ski trails offer excellent hiking and biking during the summer and fall months, and the pristine golf club in neighboring Beaver Creek features challenging holes and expansive views to round out summertime fun.
Bachelor Gulch is perfect for the buyer looking for privacy and luxury. Bachelor Gulch real estate is mostly known for high-end single-family homes, but luxury condominiums and fractional units are available through the residence club at the Ritz-Carlton® Bachelor Gulch.

Market Research
Staples Industry Research & Analysis: The consumer staple industry includes companies whose sales come from necessary consumer staple purchases such as rent, mortgage and food. Staples Trading Strategy: The consumer staple industry tends to be less sensitive to economic cycles. Look for undervalued staple investments at any time in the business cycle when stock prices are low, and especially during the late stages of a bull markets when investors become more defensive. The global economy is currently in a recession, therefore, investors are rotating money out of consumer staples and into faster growth industries. Upward sloping stock charts and financial news may indicate a selling opportunity while the opposite means that stocks are becoming undervalued.
Industry Sub Sector: . Campbell Soup is a dominant industry leader due to its personnel, experience and financial strengths.

Abdul-Lateef sits in the shade at the front of his shop, a glint in his eye and a week's growth of beard on his cheeks. With care, he weighs out half a dozen dried chameleons, wraps them in a twist of newspaper, and passes the packet to a young woman dressed in black.
"She will give birth to a handsome boy child," says the shopkeeper when the woman has gone.
"Are you sure?"
Abdul-Lateef stashes the money into a pouch under his shirt. He scans the assortment of wares - mysterious pink powders, snake skins, live turtles, bundles of aromatic bark, and he smiles.
"We have been helping women like her for five centuries," he says slowly, "And never has a customer come to complain. Believe me, I speak the truth."
Walk through the bustle of Fes's medina and it's impossible not to be catapulted back in time. It is as if the old city is on a frequency of its own, set apart from the frenzied world of internet and iPods and all the techno clutter that fills our daily lives. Abdul-Lateef and his magic-medicinal stall are a fragment of a healing system that stretches back through centuries, to a time when Fes was itself at the cutting edge of science, linked by the pilgrimage routes to Cairo, Damascus and Samarkand.
These days the low-cost airlines shuttle the curious back and forth to Europe. And everyone they bring is tantalised by what they find. Fes is the only medieval Arab city that's still absolutely intact. It's as if a shroud has covered it for centuries, the corner now lifted a little so we can peek in. Once the capital of Morocco, Fes is one of those rare destinations that's bigger than mass tourism, a city that's so self-assured, so grounded in its own identity, that it hardly seems to care whether the tourists come or not. Moroccans will tell you that it's the dark heart of their kingdom, that its medina has a kind of sacred soul.
Wander the labyrinth of narrow streets and you can feel it. It's all around you - in the meat bazaar, where shanks of mutton nestle on fragrant beds of mint, and it's down in the most ancient quarter, at er-Rsif, where the seed of Fes fell more than a thousand years ago. But perhaps the spirit is felt strongest of all at the ancient leather tanneries, whose dying pits have endured since the days of Harun al-Rachid.
Visitors to other Moroccan cities like Marrakech, snatch up bargains without realising that many of the wares on offer are actually created within the old city walls of Fes. Stroll through the medina and you're never far from the sound of a craftsman beating a pattern into a sheet of burnished brass, or the hum of a homemade loom, or a lathe shaping a piece of scented argan wood. The slender side-streets are packed with hundreds of one-room workshops where master craftsmen toil from morning to night, as their ancestors have done since antiquity.
Their wares fill the little tourist shops on Talaa Kabira, the medina's main thoroughfare. Unlike Marrakech, with its sprawling tourist emporia, there's an innocence about searching for a bargain in Fes. Many of the shops aren't geared to tourists at all. There are just as many outlets selling bath plugs, bras and sewing thread to the locals as there are those offering embroidered yellow slippers, kaftans and heavy metal castanets to the waves of tourists who flock through.
Despite the giddying array of crafts manufactured by hand in the medina, Fes is about much more than the tourist objects for sale. Even the quickest visit gives you a sense of the city's extraordinary cultural and intellectual heritage, and helps to remind all who come of the achievements of the Islamic faith. The centrepiece of this is surely the Al-Karaouine university and its mosque (founded in 859 AD), regarded as the oldest continuously used centre of learning on earth (so says the Guinness Book of Records). Al-Karaouine is just one of dozens of medieval medrasas, religious schools, found in Fes. Thankfully, a number of these are now being restored, some of them with grants from Unesco.
One of the most refined of all is the Bou Inania medrasa, which boasts fabulous mosaics, geometric cupolas crafted from cedarwood, and tiles carved with couplets from the Qur'an. Across the street from it stands the remains of Fes's once-grand medieval water clock, now ruined. And tucked away behind it, to the left of a fishmonger's stall, is the tiny jewel, Café Clock. Although only open for a year or so, "The Clock", as it's become known, is already an institution, a confluence where visitors, expatriates and local Moroccans meet. It's laid out on numerous levels, its terraces commanding views over the city. The climb is so steep that a waiter with mountain-climbing experience was sought for the job.
The Clock came from the imagination of an indefatigable Yorkshireman, Mike Richardson, for whom Fes was love at first sight. The outstanding food hints at Mike's background in catering - he was a maître d' at The Wolseley and, before that, at The Ivy. But Morocco is a long way from the West End. One of the first hurdles to overcome was the search for fresh ingredients, a quest that eventually led to a fusion of cuisine.
Poised on the menu between caesar salad and cheesecake are the words "camel burger". Mike pushes back his mop of ginger hair and exclaims, "I searched for years for the perfect meat for burgers, and I found it here in Fes. Camel meat's got the ideal consistency and succulence, and it sits so nicely on the bun."
The burgers are by far The Clock's best-seller, so much so that Mike spends much of his time trawling the bazaars in search of fresh camel meat and the other ingredients needed for his secret recipe. But his cafe is about much more than slaking hunger pains. He feels a responsibility to highlight a little of the heritage for which Fes is so renowned. Each evening, after tucking into their burgers, visitors are invited to learn from Moroccan experts. There are regular lessons in the art of calligraphy, music and dance, and talks on local culture.
In the last handful of years, quite a number of foreigners have dropped everything and moved to Fes. Most of them, like Mike, have been attracted by the gravity of the place, the kind of serenity that's absent in other more care-free tourist hotspots. You get the feeling that they can't quite believe their luck at having the chance to be living in such a magical destination.
Lured by the prices and availability, many have bought courtyard homes in the medina and set about the painstaking restorations. Some of these have been transformed into small maisons d'hôtes, sometimes with no more than three or four rooms. One of the best is Riad Numéro Neuf, a showcase of Moroccan decorative styles, adorned with all sorts of European antiques. The ceilings are cedar, painted by craftsmen centuries ago, the floors laid with mosaics. The central courtyard echoes to the sound of running water and birdsong. The view from the terrace is worth the steep ascent, and reminds you that you're tucked away in the depths of a labyrinth.
One of the great joys of Fes is the feeling that it's worn in and loved, appreciated equally by visitors as by those whose families have lived there for centuries. If there's a downside, it's that a great number of the buildings are in need of repair in varying degrees. The climate is largely to blame - blazing hot in summer, freezing in winter.
Unesco regards Fes as a world heritage centre and has supported the city, quite literally. Under its initiative, thousands of wooden staves have been put up to keep those buildings most in danger from falling down. Others are working to help in a more modest way.
The American-born director of the city's Arab Language Centre, David Amster, has lived in the Fes medina for more than a decade. Passionate that any renovation be completed to the same exacting standards achieved by the original craftsmen, he ploughs anything he can spare into renovating public streets of his neighbourhood that are falling into disrepair. The focus is on micro-reparation, much of it aimed at correcting badly-done repairs made in the modern era. Amster's craftsmen strip walls of their modern cement finishing, replacing them with natural render, as was traditionally used, so allowing buildings to breathe once again. They use hand-made nails, and frown on the kind of uniformity that power-tools provide. The artisans tend to work at night when the streets are empty, in what is essentially guerrilla renovating. The idea of giving back to the community anonymously is appropriate of course, for anonymous charity is at the heart of the Islamic faith.
Back on Tala'a Kabira, the medina's main street, Abdul-Lateef is crushing a mortar half-filled with dried damask roses. He coaxes his little son, Mustapha, to pay attention; after all, the boy will inherit the shop just as his father did. An American tourist pauses to photograph the front of the shop, before his wife reels over and barks for him to hurry up and get back to the group. When they have gone, Abdul-Lateef wipes a hand over his brow.
"If that man had time to spare I could give him some of this," he says, holding up the potion he's mixing. "It's a special preparation that would make his wife beautiful again."

Mint tea to makooda - a foodie's guide
Thami's Restaurant
Sheltered under a leafy tree with a view down Tala'a Sghira, the medina's main thoroughfare, nowhere is better for indulging in the great Moroccan tradition of people watching. A strong nus nus (half coffee, half milk) and vinyl-padded seat are all I need to while away a couple of hours. The kefta with eggs and makooda (spiced potato cake) are especially delicious. Abdeltif, the barber next door, gives a wicked shave.

Fes et Gestes
Cecile Houizot-Nanot recently opened this fabulous addition to Fes cafe life. Her French colonial house has been beautifully restored with a wide balcony overlooking a lush high-walled garden, and her tea selection is unsurpassed with rooibos rubbing teapots with absinthe green tea and earl grey. You can find a selection of coffees too, including decaf - a rare find in Morocco. Ask Cecile for the latest info on Fes happenings. Children are welcome.
Arsat El Hamoumi, Ziat (+3563 8532, fes-et-gestes.ma).
Cafe Seffarine
A particular favourite of mine is this tiny cafe overlooked by the impressive door of the Kairaouine library. Sip piping hot mint tea while watching coppersmiths beat their metal into cauldrons, platters and kettles. Mohammed and Adbu's welcome is always friendly. The lucky few who manage to grab one of the six brightly coloured stools adorning the cobbled pavement are in for a visual treat.
Place Seffarine, Medina.
Another new addition to the medina nightlife is this stylish bar on three levels opened by the indomitable Annas Sefroaui. I find it the perfect place to relax after finishing service at Café Clock. Young Moroccans sip mojitos until 2am on the pink leather sofas overlooking the newly landscaped palm-studded Jnan Sbil gardens. Marrakech style hits Fes.

Chicken Mac
A short taxi ride from the medina to Ville Nouvelle takes you to the heartiest chicken and rice dish I have ever tasted. Tables four deep line the pavement, and young families, courting couples and the local constabulary tuck into plates of lobia (spiced beans), spiced olive and tomato sauce, and succulent spit-roasted chicken. If only it had a licence it would be perfect.
Rue Lalla Myriam, Ville Nouvelle, near Place Florence.

Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji's magical Pastiche on the Hindu Merchant's Song from 'Sadko' by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Played by Marc-André Hamelin.
The movie begins with the director and Ashtangi/ indiologist Alex Medin, who many of you may know if you run in Ashtanga /Mysore circles, looking for the village in which Krishnamacharya was born. The land was owned it seems by Krishnamacharya's family but the village moved on account of large termite mounds.
The movie then includes a clip from the old 1938 Black and White film footage of Krishnamacharya and family demonstrating asana, with some captions I haven't seen before that may have been added.
Here's the full movie from Youtube.
In Breath of God, different clips from this were inter cut throughout the film
After the clip the movie moves to Mysore where Alex tells the Director, Jan Schmidt-Garre, that its Guru Purnima, the day to honour your guru and also the late Sri k Pattabhi Jois' birthday.
This leads into a section on Pattabhi Jois as the first known student in Mysore of Krishnamacharya. There are some scenes of him leading Primary inside the Shala and talking about Krishnamacharya and how tough he was as a teacher. Alex brings him the old Mysore photo below and he identifies himself as the boy in kapoatasana that krishnamacharya is standing upon. He also points out Krishnamacharya's first son at the frount in Supta Trivikramasana and his best friend, Mahadeva Bhatt, supposedly one of the best practitioners at the shala, who we find out ran away from the shala, there's still a hint of sadness When Pattabhi Jois relates this..
Pattabhi Jois, sitting on his big chair in the shala then takes the director through Suryanamaskara A and B (just the three of them in big shala) and then tries to make him get into lotus. I keep expecting Jan's knee to pop out here, thankfully he gives up and says he can't do it...."practice practice practice and it is coming", says Jois.
Next we move to Pune and some wonderful scenes with Iyengar who pretty much steals the movie. We see him first in his shala practicing along with everybody else, hanging on some ropes in a backbend, a phenomenal man.
Again, more stories about how terrifying Krishnamacharya was but also how important he was for changing the perception of Yoga in India.
Iyengar mentions,
"When I came to Pune in 1937, I was seventeen and a half years old at that time, though I was with my Guru for two years he must have taught me in all only about fifteen or twenty days not beyond"
Some nice Iyengar clips here from the 1938 movie above, Iyengar practicing Ashtanga
He also says that he was relieved to leave Mysore for Pune, 'a caged tiger escaping his cage'. He says that it was worse for him because he was family ( he mentions too that his brother ran away from the shala, I hadn't heard of Iyengar's brother before).
Back to Mysore and a scene of the Director and Alex in a busy restaurant. Alex sketches out Krishnamacharya's main students and family. This turns out to be the framework for the movie as Jan visits many of the family members and students to gain a better understanding of Krishnamacharya's teaching.
Alex " If you seek out all these people who are still alive and try to get information from them I think you will get much more of value, true source of information about the life and teaching of Krishnamacharya".
AG Mohan doesn't appear in the main movie but has a few scenes in the extras DVD. Desikachar is sick and Ramaswami probably in the US.
KM= Krishnamacharya
PJ= pattabhi Jois (first student 1927)
BKS = BKS Iyengar (student from 1934)
ID = Indra Devi = (1947)
Krishnamacharya's six children ( all learned Yoga from their father)
p = Pundarikavalli
A = Alamelu
S = Srinivasa Tatchar
D = Desikachar
S = Sribhashyam
S = Shubha
R= Ramaswami
AG = AG Mohan
The director asks if there is one true Yoga pointing out that Pattabhi Jois had said that yoga hasn't changed for 5000 years but that Iyengar's teaching is very different from Pattabhi Jois.
He goes to the original site with Alex and some other of Pattabhi Jois older Indian students, Pattabhi Jois arrives later, looking quite frail, he was to pass away shortly afterwards.
This is an excellent scene. The school/shala ( now a Catholic elementary school) seems to have been outside. I'd always assumed that in the picture of the Mysore students (above), they had come outside just for the picture but it seems this is actually a picture of where practice took place.
The current director of the Sanskrit college explains that going by the official records the school was opened for "the Arasu boys, the caste, community, belonging to the royal family.
That's the Ashtanga vinyasa developed for young boys bit, it's there in black and white, right in the records....however we also hear elsewhere from Pattabhi Jois that he first saw Krishnamacharya giving a demonstration in 1927, where he was jumping from asana to asana. Jois was so impressed he secretly became Krishnamacharya's student for two years (that's not in the movie however).
Some interesting scenes in the Sanskrit college with the director looking at some of the records concerning the school. It seems there was the School inside the palace for the more immediate family members in the mornings and then the school outside for the wider members of the caste in the evening. Pattabhi Jois, Iyengar etc. practiced in the evening outside.
Now we have the first 'reconstruction scenes', little clips of demonstrations given by Krishnamachary'a students but actually actors. OK, kinda nice, but irritating too as it's not made clear that these are reconstructions, M. was a little confused. The captions too are the same as in the original movie suggesting all the captions in both movies were added by the director.
The next section of the movie talks about how inclusive Krishnamacharya was in his teaching and particularly towards women.
"What men learn, woman have tried to learn also". TK Shribhashym
We have another highlight here, Krishnamacharya's youngest daughter, the really quite wonderful Shubha, sharing the practice her father had taught her and that she still practices every morning. The full practice is included on the DVD extras again shot in the Sanskrit college.
"Unless you have a coordination of breathing and movement your not doing any yoga...coordination of breathing and movement...an maximum level of coordination" Shuba
Another of those curious reconstructions, but this one with a quite remarkable Buddhasana where the young man almost puts his leg behind his head without hands.
This is part of the reason that Iyengar was so dedicated to uncovering the secrets of asana practice and discovering how best to practice them and more importantly how to teach them.
Jan: "So you taught yourself"?
Iyengar: " I was the student myself, I was the guru myself......the dialogue was between me only".
Jan (director) asks if he had a mirror, Iyengar laughs and says he didn't have enough to eat everyday let along enough to buy for a mirror.
"My friend, when I could not get even one meal for even two days or three days where is the mirror...tell me".
Instead he would experiment on himself, why this leg felt better than this one, what if I try it like this or like this...
'Instinctive intelligence.... let me think, let me work..."
I think I mentioned here once before that I thought Iyengar was the ultimate home yogi.
A wonderful scene.
Followed by more of Iyengar teaching, the subject and object of rotation....of backbends..
As I said, Inyengar steals the show somewhat.
The movie switches back to Mysore. Pattabhi Jois has passed away and there a few moments with Sharath sitting on the stage next to guruji's chair, saying that his Grandfather's last wish was to die at home in his room and not in a hospital and that his wish came true, there's a pause at the end that's really quite moving.
A scene of Alex doing some of 3rd series inter cut with Patabhi Jois talking about citta vritti nirodaha, about controlling the mind as the goal of Yoga.
Back again to Pune where Iyengar teaches Jan how to do shirsasana, headstand, something he's never been able to do before.
Iyengar's secret is to keep the forearm just behind the wrist in contact with the floor/mat, not to raise it at all.
Iyengar high-five's Jan - Another great Iyengar scene, lol.
Followed by a little criticism of Vinyasa Krama which here he's using I think to refer to Ashtanga.
His yoga he says reaches all the skin, every pore, every muscle and bone
"It's wholeistic I said wholistic W-H-O-L-E istc...because it is WHOLEistic it is Holistic"
"Where as other things, for example Vinyasa krama (here he means Ashtanga), there is no holisticity in it...., it's a part, you move certain parts in certain...positions...so it is not holistic. So by staying in the asana you develop that...that wholeness....of attending from the consciousness to the skin and from the skin to the consciousness, receiving and acting and that's why it's a holistic practice that makes one to be holy at that time"
|he was quite amused by this explanation Whole-Holistic-Holy : )
A beautiful sunset scene, set to the Pastiche by Hamelin (above), in Mysore, Krishnamacharya supposedly said that you should try and observe the sun set every night.
I believe the English version DVD comes out in the summer.
Alex Medin mentions Srivatsa Ramaswami as another student of note of Krishnamacharya.
See this article from Namarupa
My studies with Sri Krishnamacharya by Srivatsa Ramaswami
Chiara's translation of the Life Saving practice
Starting from the 50s more and more visitors came from the West to Krishnamacharya in Madras, to learm Yoga from him, the 'teacher of teachers'. Krishnamacharya developed for them a specific sequence that he named 'Life saving yoga session'. Yoga to extend life, the name did not fail to work. Krishnamacharya's idea was to use this sequence to lead Westerners to an unconfessional and undogmatic experience of the Divine, since their pluralistic culture would not permit an automatic access to religious matters.
The sequence, which was not taught anymore after Krishnamacharya's death and which was taught by his son TK shribayam to director Jan Schmidt-Garre after years of acquaintance during the filming of 'Der atmende Gott', is here disclosed in its original form.
Characteristic of the later Krishnamacharya and of the 'Life saving Yoga session' is the connection of postures, breathing and concentration in the sense of the orientation of the gaze and awareness of a focal point. Only when these elements form an organic connection can Yoga happen, according to Krishnamacharya
1. sit for 30-60 seconds with crossed legs in Padmasana. Concentration on Nasagra (point of the nose)
2. 16-24 Kapalabhati breaths (breath of fire, energeti inhale and exhale)
3. 12 breaths of ujjayi anuloma. Inhale: ujjayi, with slightly constricted throat, to drwa air into the lungs. Exhale: the hand forms a claw with thumb, ring- and little-fingers with which one nostril is alternately kept closed. Exhale very slowly through the open nostril, without ujjayi, beginning with the left
4. 3 breaths in matsyasana. Legs are closed in the lotus position
5. 3 breaths in bhujangasana. Start with open eyes and during the progression of movement, which start with the forehead, close the eyes. Concentration on Bhrumhadya (between the eyebrows)
6. 12 breaths in sarvangasana. The chin is closed in front of the straightened body. Hands close to the shoulderblades, concentration on Kanta (throat)
7. 12 breaths in sirsasana. Concentration on Nasagra (tip of the nose)
8. 3 breaths in halasana. Arms on the floor, hands clasped, palms towards the outside
9. 3 breaths in bhujangasana. Again start with open eyes and close them during the movement. Cncentration on Bhrumadhya (between the eyebrows)
10. 12 breaths in Maha-mudra (one-sided forward bend) six times on the left, then six times on the right. With the first inhale bring the arms over the head, with hands clasped, palms up. With the exhale get into the posture. Concentration on navel
11. 12 breaths in paschimottanasana, preparation and in maha mudra. The hands clasp the big toes, the back stays straight, neck and back form a lune. Concentration on the navel.
12. 30-60 Bastri breaths (rapid alternate breathing) in padmasana. The right hand builds a clasp as for anuloma ujjayi. Inhale and exhale through the left nostril, then change the grip and rapidly inhale and exhale through the right nostril. No ujjayi. end with an exhale from the left nostril and without pause move ot a long inhale in nadi shodan. Concentration on Nasagra
13. 12 breaths in nadi shodan (alternate breathing). Inhale very slowly from the half-closed left nostril, exchange grip ad after a short pause exhale very slowly through the half-closed right nostril. After a short pause inhale very slowly through the half-closed right nostril, change grip and after a short pause exhale through the half-clodes left nostril. No ujjayi. The left hand counts the breaths, with the thumb gliding over the twelve parts of the four fingers, from the third falanx of the little fingers in the direction towards outside to the point of the index finger. Concentration on Hrudaya (heart)
14. Prayer. Concentration on Hrudaya (heart)
In the coming book fom Shribashyam "How Yoga really was" this and similar sequences are explained in detail

Nissan Juke SL Review
Beauty is objective. Great minds from Plato to Kant had it right. Need proof? The Nissan Juke. It is not, in any sense of the word, beautiful. In fact, one can definitively say it is the opposite.
1. The Juke is powered by a turbocharged 1.6L direct-injection 4-cylinder that makes 188-hp and 177 lb-ft of torque.
2. The Juke sits below the Rogue in Nissan's crossover lineup.
3. With a 7.0 second 0-60 mph time, it also gets as much as 27/32-mpg.
If there's a philosopher out there with an objective theory of fun, well, that's where the Juke fits in. It is, without a doubt, a thoroughly enjoyable driving machine. Many, many crossovers promise car-like driving dynamics. The Juke delivers and then some. In fact, it might be the first instance where the crossover version has less body roll than the sedan it's based on – with the Juke sharing its underpinnings with the wallowy Versa.
Now do your best to ignore you ever read the word 'Versa' because even the remotest of comparisons between that oversized sub-compact and the Juke will create preconceived notions in your head about this SportCross that should not be there.
With a thoroughly solid chassis, a 3,000-lb curb weight, some big 17-inch wheels and 188-hp of turbocharged goodness, the Juke will have you tackling on-amps with serious speed and not even a hint of tippyness. Sure there's understeer, but that's pretty much unavoidable in modern cars – especially our front-drive tester.

And yet, the fact is the next generation of wireless will require a whole bunch of wires and a whole lot of hardware. The 802.11ac standard does amazing things with radio waves and spectrum, but none of it matters without the right physical cables and reams of new switch configurations.
With 11n and earlier WLAN technology, a single cable run from a relatively simply configured switch port provided both power and data backhaul at either 100 Mbps or Gigabit. Depending on switches in use and grade of wire installed, the same switch/config/cabling combos have served many of us through at least a couple of wireless lifecycles.
However, 11ac is a radical change; if you go by emerging WLAN guidance on prepping for and implementing the latest wireless standard, your to-do lists get significantly complicated.
The short version: 11ac will require two switch ports and two cable runs per access point. Simple AP uplinks now become port channels. Port channels need careful configuration, and can be a nightmare to troubleshoot should one of the four RJ-45 connectors involved with each 11ac port channel get cocked or not sit straight in its port.
Let's say you're upgrading a 2,000 AP WLAN to 11ac, and you've determined you can do a simple "rip and replace" upgrade with no AP location changes. You have to calculate the price of new access points, licensing, and time spent on potential controller and management system upgrades. But you're also on the hook for:
- 2,000 more switch ports
- Maintenance contract costs on X additional switches
- Potential license costs for new switches in your management/monitoring system
- Some number of new UPS systems for switch adds, depending on backup time requirements
- Possible wholesale switch environment upgrade depending on PoE support
- At least 16,000 new config line commands (based on 8 commands per port channel/port config)
- 16,00 chances to screw something up in configuration or physical connectivity
- 2,000 new cable runs
- Potential pathway costs
- Possible asbestos/hazardous material abatement costs associated with new cable runs
- Recertification of existing AP cable plant, if necessary, with upgrades where needed
I don't expect a lot of vendors to include these items in their upbeat TCO calculators. Nor is my summary meant to cast aspersions on the fantastic beast that is 11ac. But for those of us who have to make it work, we need to live in reality. Even if your vendor of choice doesn't need all of this for Wave 1 11ac, it certainly will for Wave 2 unless the industry comes up with something truly innovative. And that may be too much to ask.
In my next post, I'll look at why much of the build-up to 11ac, and the related demands that WLAN vendors will put on customers, might just be wrong for all parties.

Expert Voices: Kathy Herrmann on Determining SCRM ROI
By Chris Bucholtz Back when people were pooh-poohing social media and social CRM on the grounds that it was too difficult to determine return on investment (ROI), Kathy Herrmann was one of the few coherent voices in the crowd shouting back, "Yes! Yes, you can!" SCRM ROI has become slightly less mysterious and slightly better … Continue reading
Can you sell with social? Only after building a solid relationship
By Chris Bucholtz As I keep saying, there are as many ways to use social media for your business as there are businesses. The best way to use it, of course, will be based on the behavior of your business and on the behavior of your customers. It will not be based so much on … Continue reading
Are your people the weak links in the CRM chain?
By Chris Bucholtz I never get tired of talking about CRM as a discipline, not a technology. Yes, yes, yes – the technology allows you to scale the discipline, but ultimately, the ideas, initiatives and actions that result from CRM and reach customers are not executed by technology – they're executed by people. (Clint Oram, … Continue reading
The true value of Open
By John Mertic "Open Source" was the term coined that triggered a revolution in software. Then came terms like Open Data, Open APIs, Open Architecture, and more. What do they all mean? Are they just like Open Source? I spent time recently at the Open Source Thinktank in Paris, where we wrestled with this very … Continue reading
SCRM Basics: Twitter, Why and How
A few years ago, when I worked over in San Francisco, I would occasionally commute using the "casual car pool" system – in other words, at a designated congregation point, I'd get into a vehicle with a total stranger so that person could save bridge toll and I could save bus money. It was less … Continue reading

Phone calls like you've never seen before.
1.One-tap simple.
FaceTime works right out of the box — no need to set up a special account or screen name. And using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Let's say you want to start a video call with your best friend. Just find her entry in your Contacts and tap the FaceTime button. Or maybe you're already on a voice call with her and you want to switch to video. Just tap the FaceTime button on the Phone screen. Either way, an invitation pops up on her iPhone 4 screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, the video call begins. It's all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape modes.
2. Two cameras made for video calling.
iPhone 4 has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back next to the LED flash. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm's length. So it always presents you in the best possible light.
3. Share what you see with the back camera.
Imagine your sister is away at school and can't make it to your son's birthday. So you're cheering her up with a FaceTime call. As the cupcakes come out, your son's eyes light up, and you just have to share it. Tap a button, and before you can say, "Make a wish," iPhone 4 switches to the back camera, and to the birthday boy's big moment. Another tap switches back to the front camera and to you. Simple, fast, and fun.
The Future is in the details
When creating iPhone 4, Apple designers and engineers didn't start with a clean sheet of paper. They started with three years of experience designing and building the phones that redefined what a phone can do. iPhone 4 is the result of everything they've learned so far. And it's all contained in a beautiful enclosure a mere 9.3 millimeters thin, making iPhone 4 the world's thinnest smartphone.
1.Engineered Glass
All the breakthrough technology in iPhone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass — the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It's also recyclable.
The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small — a mere 78 micrometers across — that the human eye can't distinguish individual pixels. That makes text remarkably sharp and graphics incredibly vivid. IPS technology also provides excellent color and contrast from almost any viewing angle.
Created from our own alloy, then forged to be five times stronger than standard steel, the CNC-machined band is the mounting point for all the components of iPhone 4. The band provides impressive structural rigidity and allows for its incredibly thin, refined design. It also functions as both iPhone 4 antennas.
Apple engineers designed the A4 chip to be a remarkably powerful yet remarkably power-efficient mobile processor. With it, iPhone 4 can easily perform complex jobs such as multitasking, editing video, and placing FaceTime calls. All while maximizing battery life.
iPhone 4 includes a built-in three-axis gyroscope. When paired with the accelerometer, it makes iPhone 4 capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate. Translation: More motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience.
The iPhone 4 camera shoots gorgeous 5-megapixel photos and stunning HD video. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful images even in low-light settings. The built-in LED flash does double duty. When you're taking pictures, it works as a flash. When you're shooting video it can stay on to light up the scene. And on the front of iPhone 4, the built-in camera is perfect for making FaceTime calls and shooting self-portraits.
While most phones have only one microphone, iPhone 4 has two. The main mic, located on the bottom next to the dock connector, is for phone calls, voice commands, and memos. The second mic, built into the top near the headphone jack, is for FaceTime calls and for making your phone calls better. It works with the main mic to suppress unwanted and distracting background sounds, such as music and loud conversations. This dual-mic noise suppression helps make every conversation a quiet one.
With its large Multi-Touch display and innovative software, iPhone lets you control everything using just your fingers. How does it work? A panel laminated on the glass senses your touch using electrical fields. It can register multiple touches at once to support advanced gestures such as pinch to zoom, two-finger tap, and more. The panel then transmits the information to the Retina display below it.
i OS 4
The World's most advanced mobile operating systems
With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS — Apple's mobile operating system — is the foundation of iPhone. And even as other phones try to catch up, the technologies and features built into iOS 4 keep it years ahead of the competition.
1.Elegant and intuitive interface.
The first time you pick up an iPhone, you know how to use it. That's because the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface in iOS was designed for the most natural pointing device ever: your finger. So whether you're using one of the built-in apps or one of the over 200,000 apps and games available from the App Store, you control everything with a tap, drag, swipe, pinch, flick, or twist of your fingers. Even tasks that might seem complicated — such as starting a FaceTime call or editing a video with iMovie — are simple, easy, and fun.
2.Hundreds of amazing features.
The features included with iOS 4 make iPhone powerful, innovative, and a pleasure to use. Here are just a few.
MultitaskingiOS 4 introduces a whole new way of multitasking. Now you can run your favorite third-party apps — and switch between them instantly — without slowing down the performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily.* This smarter approach to multitasking is available only in iOS 4.
FoldersFolders are the best way to keep your apps organized and easily accessible. To create a folder, you simply touch and hold an app until it wiggles, then drag it on top of another. iOS 4 automatically assigns a name to your folder based on the category of the apps inside it, or you can choose your own name. To access your apps, just tap the folder to bring up its contents, then tap the app to open it. Simple.
FaceTimeiOS 4 and iPhone 4 together make video calling a reality. With just a tap, you can see your friends and family while you talk to them — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. It works right out of the box, with no setup or special accounts needed. FaceTime is just another way iOS 4 seamlessly integrates hardware and software to make every iPhone feature as easy to use as it is groundbreaking.
3.The world's largest app platform.
With over 200,000 apps in practically every category, iOS 4 is the platform for the world's largest collection of mobile apps. Apple gives third-party developers a rich set of tools and APIs, and they've been creating apps and games that redefine what a mobile device can do. Where to find these apps? Just browse the App Store from your iPhone and download them with a tap.
4.Performance and stability that lead the industry.
iOS 4 is a desktop-class OS that's been reinvented for mobile devices. Because it's based on the world's most advanced computer operating system — Mac OS X — performance in iOS 4 is fast and stability is rock-solid. iOS 4 manages power efficiently and delivers the best possible battery life. And multitasking — using multiple apps at the same time — in iOS 4 doesn't slow down the performance of the foreground app or drain the battery unnecessarily.*
5.Hardware and software made for each other.
Because Apple makes both the iPhone hardware and the operating system, everything works together seamlessly and intelligently. This integration enables apps to take full advantage of iPhone hardware features such as the Retina display, the Multi-Touch interface, the accelerometer, the three-axis gyro, GPS, accelerated graphics, and more. FaceTime is a perfect example. It uses both iPhone 4 cameras, the display, one of the two microphones, and your Wi-Fi connection. If you're on a voice call with someone and want to start a video call, FaceTime switches mics, turns on the front camera, and verifies your Wi-Fi connection — quickly and invisibly.
6.Safe and secure by design.
iOS 4 is highly secure from the moment you turn on your iPhone. All apps run in a safe environment, so a website or app can't access data from other apps. iOS 4 supports encrypted network communication to protect your sensitive information. Optional parental controls let you manage iTunes purchases, Internet browsing, and access to explicit material. To guard your privacy, apps requesting location information must get your permission first. You can set a passcode lock to prevent unauthorized access to your phone and configure iPhone to delete all your data after too many unsuccessful passcode attempts. And in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen, a MobileMe membership allows you to find your iPhone on a map and remotely delete all data. If you get it back, you can restore everything from your last backup.
7.Ready for business.
Businesses around the world are choosing iPhone for its enterprise-ready features and powerful security. iOS 4 works with Microsoft Exchange and standards-based servers to deliver over-the-air push email, calendar, and contacts. iOS 4 protects your data by encrypting information in three separate areas: in transmission, at rest on the device, and when backed up to iTunes. You can securely access private corporate networks through industry-standard VPN protocols. And companies can easily deploy iPhone across an enterprise using configuration profiles.
8.Accessible by everyone.
iOS 4 comes standard with a wide range of accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience everything iPhone has to offer. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen-reading technology allows those who are blind or have low vision to hear a description of the item they're touching on the screen. iOS 4 also offers out-of-the-box support for over 30 wireless braille displays and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic screen magnification, playback of closed-captioned video, white on black text, and more.
9.Works the world over.
iPhone and iOS 4 are made to be used around the world. The user interface is localized into 34 languages, and you can easily switch between them. Because the keyboard is software-based, you can select from over 40 different layouts with support for language-specific features including diacritic marks on characters, handwritten input for Chinese, and contextual character options for Japanese. In addition, the built-in dictionaries support 37 language and dialects, VoiceOver reads screens in 21 languages, and Voice Control understands 24 languages.

Botanica Orlando is officially open and ready for business!! Even prior to our Grand Opening Event and the completion of our new studio, we've enter Orlando hitting the ground running! We're excited about meeting new clients and working with new vendors of all kinds!
In order to make a grand entrance, we invited Orlando's premier vendors and local venues to check out our new digs and we figured the best way to showcase our new studio and introduce Botanica to Orlando was none other than throwing a party! (of course) :)
Check out the photos below!!!
