The Basics of Soccer's World Cup
Yes, America, there is a sporting event that's bigger and more popular than the Super Bowl. It's called the Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup. To the rest of the world, this FIFA event is the only true football championship — the Super Bowl of soccer.
In just about every corner of the globe except the United States, football is the word used to describe what Americans call soccer. It's a sport so beloved that each of the last World Cup's 64 matches was viewed on television by an average of 259.9 million people. The 2012 Super Bowl's estimated viewership of 111.3 million pales in comparison.
The FIFA World Cup is actually a multiyear tournament. The month-long finals occur every four years and 2014 is a championship year. Brazil is the host country and 12 of its largest cities are supplying venues for the various matches, which begin June 12 and end July 13.
Since the last Cup in 2010, soccer teams from around the world have competed in the qualification phase — a series of tournaments that determine the final field of 31 teams. (Thirty-two teams actually compete, but the host country's team is guaranteed a spot.)
Once the finalists are decided, FIFA divides the competing teams into eight groups of four each.
When the soccer teams that compose these groups converge on Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, they'll be competing in a multilayered tournament:
Intra-group competition: The soccer action kicks off with a nearly two-week long series of matches to determine a winning team and a runner-up team from each group. No one is eliminated from competition until the end of this round. At this point, everyone is just jockeying for position in the next phase of the Cup. Only the top two teams in each group move on to the Round of 16.
Round of 16: The winning team and runner-up team from each group advance to the Round of 16. During this phase, each winning team competes against a runner-up team from a different group. From here on out, competition is said to be at the knockout stage.
Quarter-finals: The eight winners from Round 16 battle it out in the quarter-final round.
Semi-finals: The four quarter-final round winners play in the semi-finals.
Third-place playoff: The losers of the quarter-finals compete for third place.
Final match: The top two teams vie for the FIFA World Cup title.

This is what Blogger's login page looks like, when you try from Oman!
If that was not enough to scare away a duo-cultural dehaati like me, an Arabic keyboard and the @ symbol hidden towards the right side of the keyboard (instead of the familiar 'above 2' - where the f*** is the double quotes key now? ) did the trick!
I guess a long post will happen only when I am back in any one of the two cultural cocoons I am familiar with.
Wishing everybody a great Pujo!

"And she's buying a stairway to heaven." (J. Patrick and R. Plant, 1970)
Much can probably be conjectured about the meaning of Led Zeppelin's famous song. Certainly the line above speaks to the woman's conceit in believing she can bring heaven to earth; and this by constructing a ziggurat, or stairway connecting heaven and earth.
Her conceit is not unique to her, though. It was the original conceit of humankind that resulted in the separation of humankind from the Creator--that is, Death. The conceit was and still is heaven can be attained by trusting in creation instead of God. The lie Satan proffered to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was just that: You will become god by trusting in yourself.
It was also the conceit behind one of the most famous of ziggurats, the tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9). The people banded together to bring heaven to earth by constructing a tower touching heaven. This tower was a ziggurat, which they believed would allow them to bring heaven to earth.
God wants heaven to be brought to earth; this was His purpose in creation; heaven and earth would be His dwelling place with His image bearers (humankind) in an eternal relationship of holy love (Gen. 1:26-2:1-3). God's purpose in creation was to establish a kingdom for Himself. Humankind loused this up because of their aforementioned conceit. Nevertheless, God will realize His purposes; God will bring heaven to earth. But He must be the one who constructs the ziggurat. God must do it; it is impossible for human beings.
We see this prophesied in a dream of Jacob:
"He reached a certain place where he decided to camp because the sun had gone down. He took one of the stones and placed it near his head. Then he fell asleep in that place and had a dream. He saw a stairway erected on the earth with its top reaching to the heavens. The angels were going up and coming down it and the Lord stood at the top. He said, 'I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather, Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give to you and your descendants the ground you are lying on. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, east, north and south. All the families of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using your name and that of your descendants. I am with you! I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you!' Then Jacob woke up and thought, surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it! He was afraid and said, 'What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!" (Gen. 28:11-17 [NET])
God would of course partially fulfill this by a covenant with the nation of Israel (the new name God would give Jacob at Peniel [Gen. 32:22-32]) through their exodus from Egypt, wondering in the wilderness, entering the Promised land, and the construction of the Temple, where God would dwell with them.
But God would completely fulfill His promise and restore His kingdom through the living ziggurat--through the person who would come out of Israel. That person would be God Himself entering into Human history:
And the Word became flesh and dwelled among us, and we saw His glory, glory as the only begotten and unique one from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 14)
God has restored His kingdom through His son, Jesus the Christ, so that through Christ we see God and consequently know Him and are known by Him, which is to dwell together no longer in a fixed place, but in the totality of heaven and earth made one in Christ.
Jesus is the ziggurat through whom God brings heaven to earth. Indeed, this is what Jesus meant when he told Nathanael,
"Because I said to you that I saw you beneath the fig tree, you are believing? You will see greater things than these." And Jesus said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you [you is plural, here] you will see the heavens having opened up and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." (John 1:50-51)

The Oddity
It was an odd thing--something for Ripley's. Everyone thought so. Both young and old and all those in between would stop and stare and wonder. It stood bravely upright against the push of humanity from all sides--a silent yet colorful contradiction to the concrete, asphalt, grime, and litter that was the legacy of a race in lethal pursuit of ambition. "How could it be?" someone would say. Another pointed out weeds sometime grow out of a crack in the pavement, as if to remind us of our delusions of beauty. Yet another would clarify, "This is no weed. And there is no crack, either. It has just come up as if it had pushed itself through the cement from somewhere deep below." Everyone nodded in agreement, secretly enthralled by the loveliness shining before them they had been taught long ago couldn't happen. Some looked up and all around for a camera or other evidence of a hoax. Others brought themselves close and sniffed in a fragrance of indescribable splendor. Still others gently touched the pedals, delighted to discover their softness exceeded their promise. There were those, too, disquieted by the phenomenon. "It's not natural!" someone opined in thinly veiled trepidation. Many gave the flower a wide berth, suspecting it had been cleverly placed there to lure them into something. The oracle remained steadfast in all its resplendent colors, day after day through inclement weather and sun. The bloom never closed at night; and even gave off its own special light. It became a place for people to come together. A happening where those who came with food or wisdom liberally shared with those who did not. Those who couldn't recall the last time they had smiled, grinned and pointed. Faces that for eons had mingled in nonrecognition, became as kin. Before long the laughter and chatter around the flower challenged the din of industry that seemed to sulk. The tints and hues of grays and blacks and soiled whites soon grew unbearable. Slabs were cut away, and trees and planters and fountains installed. Gardens rose up alongside places that made light the revelry and camaraderie. And then it happened.
Song birds arrived and nested in the burgeoning trees, filling the air with a palette of melodies rivaled only by the creatures' varied colors. It was an odd thing--something for Ripley's. Everyone thought so.

The Mirror
I had a dream the other night. I dreamed I was bouldering. The place was a collage of various wilderness areas I have frequented over the years (you know how dreams are). It was a hot day; I could hear the locust, and the sun beat down on me through the otherwise still, dry air. I could smell the sage. It's funny how one remember smells. It was like being in Grand Junction again, hunting for fossils with my dad. Except now, I was very much alone--not lonely or distressed--just by myself. A large bird flew overhead and disappeared in the burning light marking the noon Colorado blue sky. I looked away to navigate the next pile of rock, placed there to make the way forward both cerebrally and physically demanding-- of that I was most certain. I could feel the sandstone roughening my hands and scraping my knees as I puzzled out the best path.
After climbing like this for what seemed a long time (probably only a second or two of real time), I came upon a cleft in the rocks. It appeared to be an entrance to a cave. Because it was large enough for me to fit through, I clambered my way in . From my original vantage point, it seemed quite dark beyond the opening; but the inner chamber I soon found myself was actually well lit. I looked up and all around, and everywhere was solid rock, yet the room was bright as day. Looking down I saw in the center of the stone cell, a pool of water. The liquid was pure and placid. It had all the appearance of a polished sheet of aquamarine glass that had been perfectly fitted within the hole in the rock floor. I crouched down for closer examination.
I looked at my reflection in the glassy water. It was a perfect rendering. I could see every mark, wrinkle, and blemish in my aging face with unusual--and I must say--depressing clarity and resolution. My life was recounted in the image peering up at me. I saw in that visage an entire history--not the history of Wells but my own. It began with the scar left on my cheek when I was four years old and tried to shave with my dad's razor. It progressed on from there. Each new degradation marring what once had been a baby face, bore witness to the reality of entropy and a long life of worries, fears, self-doubt, selfish choices, lost opportunities, and qualified successes. I shuddered as I gazed into the face of disappointment.
When I could no longer bear the truth, I reached down and scambled the water. The image didn't fragment or distort as one might predict, but transformed. Even though I had done violence to the watery mirror, the surface held perfectly calm. My hand was wet, and there were water stains on the walls of the rocky basin that hadn't been there before, but the pool itself remained unmoved. Only the image had changed.
I saw myself. I studied the new image intently, not believing what I saw. It was me. But the scars were gone. The worry and pain and anger and sadness and hopelessness had all vanished. The decrepit twilight of late autumn had suddenly turned to the dawn of early spring. The features of the old man shining back at me from the crystalline mirror had been smoothed and sculpted and shaped and polished into a paradox of youthful vigor. An inexhaustible vitality glistened in those peaceful blue eyes, and a fathomless joy gently turned up those tender lips in a smile. And although the room around me was encased in rock, a soft breeze tousled the hair about the face of that image. I knew it to be the spirit of freedom.
He is risen! He is risen, indeed.

Two accused bank robbers might have just been trying to save time when they called ahead and demanded that the bank have the cash ready when they got there. But placing and order for cash didn't get them far.
Albert Bailey, 27, and a 16-year-old, both from Bridgeport, called People's United Bank on Stratfield Road about 10 minutes before they came to rob it on Tuesday afternoon, the Connecticut Post reports.
"You can't make this stuff up," Sgt. James Perez, Fairfield police spokesman, told the Post. "They literally called the bank and said to have the bag of money ready on the floor because they're coming to rob the place."
Then, true to their word, they showed up – just as police were coming to greet them.
"I would classify these individuals as, 'Not-too-bright.' They should have spent time in school instead of trying to rob a bank," Perez said.
When the suspects called, they threatened to create "a blood bath," Fairfield police Lt. Thomas Mrozek told the Post.
Fortunately, there was no bloodbath. The suspects did not use a weapon.
Bailey waited in a parked car while the 16-year-old, who was not identified because of his age, picked up the bag of cash and walked out, the Post reports.
It was not difficult for Fairfield Officer Michael Guilfoyle to find the youth because the bank described him. As Guilfoyle tried to take the teen into custody, the situation got even worse by the dye pack exploding. Then, more police showed up so cops were able to nab both suspects before they left the parking lot.
Both robbery suspects were charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree threatening. The 16-year-old was sent to an area juvenile jail, police said.
Bailey was on probation for robbing a People's Bank branch in Bridgeport in 2003, the Post reports, and was held without bond to be turned over to the Department of Correction.

Best. Ad. Ever.
Eli and Peyton Manning have teamed up with DirecTV to promote the "Sunday Ticket," and the footballer brothers are featured in a hilarious new commercial in which the hip hip stars (who knew?!) oh-so-brilliantly rap "Football On Your Phone."
Seriously, it's a must-see.
WATCH: This week in adorable animal videos!
The sexy quarterbacks show off some serious swag as they rap the lyrics to their first "hit" single as three fine-looking ladies sing the backup vocals while the sports stars toss around a golden football.
Additional highlights include the siblings' hairstyles (seriously, can you believe Eli's curls?!), an appearance by their father Archie Manning as well as a portrait of Alexander Graham Bell getting completely destroyed.
Here's a sampling of the totally awesome lyrics: "It's football on your phone, so now's your chance to have football on your phone and football in your pants!"
PHOTOS: 12 most stylish sports stars
The Manning brothers also encourage you to watch football on your phone whether you're "on a date with Simone, taking out a small loan, sitting on your throne or buttering a scone."
And of course, by the end of the video, everyone's watching football on their phone, and the QBs have a permanent place in our hearts.
Watch the epic commercial to see for yourself!

French plans to dump the toxic laden warship were finally scuppered by protests in France, India and an embrassing international scandal.
"This is a victory for international law, a victory for Indian workers, and a victory for workers all across Asia" said Pascal Husting, Greenpeace France Executive Director. "In today's globalised world it is vital that nations, such as France and India, co-operate to uphold global justice and not shamelessly pass on their responsibility to those in vulnerable areas of the planet".
Back in December we highlighted France's attempts to dump an old warship laden with toxics like deadly asbestos on India. France didn't want to deal with its own toxic mess - despite our actions to block the departure of the Clemenceau from the French port of Toulon. We said it was wrong for France to dump a 27,000-ton warship full of asbestos, PCBs, lead, mercury, and other toxic chemicals in India to be broken up by hand in a scrapyard where impoverished workers are injured and die every day. France insisted it was right and sent the ship to India anyway.
We weren't going to let them off that easily. In January we reboarded the warship in the Mediterranean and called on Egypt to block the passage of the ship. The French government intervened at the highest level to ensure the ship could continue to head to the ship-breaking beaches of India.
Meanwhile in India there was a growing media and public scandal.
Greenpeace and our anti-asbestos allies launched lawsuits in both the French and Indian courts, and India ordered the warship to stay out of Indian waters pending a final ruling. Online activists around the world were peppering the French government with emails demanding the ship return to France. Still France kept the asbestos ship steaming towards India.
As the Indian Government dithered and the French Government stubbornly insisted on the dumping plan, media interest intensified and levels of public anger in India and France increased with every day the ship continued to sail head-on into the winds of public opposition.
The decision of the French supreme court that Greenpeace was right came just a few days before a planned state visit to India by President Chirac, who announced that the warship would be turned around and head back to France. Domestic heat over the scandal had intensified last week when the French Defence Ministry declared that it could not account for about 30 tonnes of asbestos that was supposed to be aboard the ship.
The case of the Clemenceau has become a symbol of the moral injustice of rich countries dumping their toxic waste on poorer countries. Having tried and failed to offload the ship to other countries, France has finally been forced to clean up a toxic mess of its own making.
While we savour this victory and the return of the Clemenceau to France it is just a poster child for a wider problem. Every year a vast decrepit armada bearing a dangerous cargo of toxic substances, asbestos, PCBs and heavy metals, ends up in ship-breaking yards in Bangladesh, India, China and Pakistan, where they are cut up in the crudest of fashions, taking a huge toll on human health and the local environment. Shipbreaking is one of the most visible forms of the trade in toxic waste that ends up dumped in developing countries -- but that trade is also made up of smaller, more day-to-day items like phones, computer parts, and portable electronics.
We believe that rich governments should look at the precedent of the Clemenceau case and take action to reduce the toxic wastes they produce, and to stop the dumping of toxic waste in all forms on poor countries. Only effective action will prevent another Clemenceau-style scandal.
What are the implications of this high profile case in the battle against toxic trade?
You can read more about shipbreaking and the solutions to the problem here.
Help us continue to expose environmental crimes around the world. We don't accept donations from governments or corporations: we can name and shame without fear of economic retaliation. But we can only do that with your help.

A Rustic, Bohemian Wedding at the Red Barn in Jefferson City, Missouri
A secluded red barn set the scene for Jessica Bargate (28 and a creative director) and Jay Pelzer's (37 and owner of a video production company) laid-back bohemian bash. To put a personal twist on the festivities, the pair filled the day with their favorite things, including vinyl records, lawn games and a vintage Volkswagen Beetle borrowed from a friend. "We knew from the start that we weren't trying to be traditional or formal in any way," Jessica says. "We wanted the day to feel authentic and special." Both the ceremony and reception were held in the same location to ensure a seamless transition and to keep the party flowing. Barbecue was a must-have menu item for the newlyweds, who served pulled pork and brisket alongside savory mac and cheese and sweet vanilla-spiced doughnuts. Cocktail hour called for local brews and signature mojito cocktails, which guests sipped while a local artist drew custom sketches of the partygoers. For their first dance, Jessica and Jay opted for an acoustic version of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody."

A Wooden Domino Tree by Qiu Zhijie
The Small Knocking Down the Big is a 2009 installation by Chinese artist Qiu Zhijie made from hundreds of cut wooden dominoes meant to loosely demonstrate the effects of something that has become known as Domino Magnification (if you really, really enjoy physics see the recent work of J. M. J. van Leeuwen). The basic premise is that any domino can knock over another domino that's roughly 1.5 times larger, meaning that if you gently pushed a normal sized domino into a chain of bricks that increase in size each time by 1.5, the 32nd object will be large enough to topple the Empire State Building. In the video example above it takes only 13 dominoes starting with an object the size of a bean to knock over a 100 lb. slab!
Zhijie's installation is somewhat less mathematical and more visual, but the same mathematical principles hold true. Participants are invited to knock over the small dominoes at the outer branches of the installation which eventually gain enough momentum to knock over the thicker blocks at the trunk. (via lustik)

Creating a Motivational Environment
Your surroundings can have a strong influence on how you feel. Distractions can affect your motivation and stop you getting on with what you need to do. Think about:
Lighting: Natural daylight, sunshine, or full-spectrum light are all ideal for keeping you stimulated.
Sound: Some people like working with background noise or having music playing. Others are distracted by the hum of office equipment, people talking, or noise of traffic from outside. Decide which sounds you find bearable and cut out the rest.
Space and view: You may need to rearrange furniture to give yourself more space. Having an untidy and cluttered desk can be very distracting and slows you up. Having windows you can open and shut and a nice view all help to create positive feelings about your surroundings.
Colour: Try adding colour and pictures to your walls to help brighten you up and keep you feeling cheerful and stimulated.
Seating: Make sure your chair is comfortable and the right height for you, especially for when you're working at your computer. The position you sit in can make a difference to your breathing, your posture, and how awake and alert you feel while working.
Equipment: Make sure you have all the equipment you need for your task, so that you're not being distracted by having to stop to find the right tools.
Fresh air: If your office is in the basement or the windows in your office aren't the sort you can open and shut, make sure you have air-conditioning installed.
Temperature: Make sure you can control the temperature of the room where you're working. Find out where the thermostat is and how to adjust the room temperature if needed.

A woman was attacked in broad daylight while jogging on a lakefront bike path. Three men came to her rescue, tackled and held a suspect until police arrived.
It happened around 2 p.m. yesterday along Lake Shore Drive in Hyde Park. A 36-year-old woman screamed for help when a man began to attack her.
Three men, including ex-marine Michael Adams, caught the suspect.
Adams used his cell phone to take video of the suspect while he was lying on the ground.
Adams says that he doesn't really consider himself a hero, not really.
He says he never thought twice about helping catch the suspect, and hopes that other good Samaritans would do the same.

DAMASCUS, Syria, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Syrian opposition groups have come together to form one national coalition that could possibly transition into a new government, officials said.
The newly united group, called Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces, is comprised of about 60 members -- representatives from each of Syria's major cities -- and has been signed by all opposition groups Sunday, The Sunday Telegraph reported.
"Everyone has signed our names to this," said Syrian dissident Yaser Tabbara, who helped shape the plan.
The deal was negotiated over the weekend between the Syrian National Council and other groups in Doha, Qatar, CNN reported.
On the streets of Syria, opposition forces are using barrel bombs to attack regime military positions, The Telegraph said.
"The regime was here yesterday," said Wassim, a rebel fighter said of a military post in Aleppo that was destroyed by 11 barrel bombs. "Now we are here."
And, as fighting intensifies along the Syria-Turkey border, 349 Syrians fled to Turkey Sunday morning, Today's Zaman reported.
Turkish officials registered the names of the new refugees before allowing them to enter Turkey, while health officials provided medical treatment to some of the refugees who were suffering from exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Britain's top general has suggested that his country could intervene militarily in Syria in the next few months, The Telegraph said.
Gen. David Richards, the chief of the Defense Staff, said it would be a "huge effort," adding, "The humanitarian situation this winter I think will deteriorate and that may well provoke calls to intervene in a limited way."
"But no, there's no ultimately military reason why one shouldn't and I know that all these options are, quite rightly, being examined. It's not impossible and obviously we develop contingency plans to look at all these things," he said.

THE COURT: No, not now. The Court
19 has already dismissed it. It is gone.
20 And the Court is finding you in
21 contempt and you, sir, Mr. Cornell, for
22 filing this in this manner when these
23 documents are so questionable. You are
24 to pay opposing counsel's fees and
25 costs.
1 And the mortgage is dismissed with
2 prejudice. And based on the 1099 the
3 note is canceled and dismissed with
4 prejudice as it looks like the note has
5 been satisfied. And if they want to go
6 for some other sort of judgment, I
7 suppose they can do that.
8 And the Court will draft an order
9 finding you in contempt, finding you
10 grossly negligent, both of you and I'm
11 sending this to the Bar. This is just
12 enough.
13 It's time that somebody looked at
14 this stuff and reacted instead of
15 waiting until you come in front of a
16 judge, having a judge dress you down,
17 which I'm very sorry to have to do and
18 then say, "Wait a minute. We can fix
19 this."

Nicklas Bendtner won't rule out joining Tottenham from Arsenal
Nicklas Bendtner says he would not rule out a move to Tottenham Hotspur if he has to leave Arsenal on a permanent basis.
By Ejder Akbal
Last Updated: 18/11/12 1:43pm
The Danish striker is currently on a season-long loan at Juventus, but has struggled to make an impression with the Italian champions.
Bendtner spent last term on loan at Sunderland and reports suggest the 24-year-old will be sold by Arsenal at the end of the season.
He admits he would be happy to stay in London and would not discount the prospect of emulating the likes of William Gallas and Emmanuel Adebayor, who have played for Arsenal and Spurs in recent years.
"History is filled with examples of players moving between rival clubs and I can't rule out clubs due to where I might have been in the past," Bendtner told bold.dk.
"It might not be the best idea but if the project matches my ambitions I would have to be interested."
He added: "I still have a great relationship with London, which is a city that I adore.
"I have a lot of friends in London and there are a lot of great clubs in London, so I wouldn't rule out a return."

This is a question I had not thought about until recently: is it more reverent to receive Holy Communion standing and in the hand or kneeling and on the tongue? The reason I pose it is because I have just come across a most moving and scholarly little book that makes a powerful plea for the latter mode of reception. It is called Dominus Est – It is the Lord! by Bishop Athanasius Schneider, who was the auxiliary bishop of Karaganda, Kazakhstan and is now the auxiliary of the Kazak capital Astana in Central Asia. (I add these geographical details because until I read the book I had not heard of Karaganda and although I had heard of Kazakhstan I had only the vaguest idea of its whereabouts.) It is available from Gracewing for £5. 99.
I guess that my question is a polarising one: on the one side are almost all the faithful who attend the Novus Ordo Mass; and on the other is the eloquent, passionate and often learned minority who attend Mass in the Extraordinary Form. I have friends in both camps but my own practice is to worship in our local parish church in the Ordinary Form. At the same time, I have always knelt to receive Communion on the tongue. Why? Because I could see no good reason to change the practice I had been taught as a child.
Reading Bishop Schneider makes me think that perhaps I was also clinging to the idea of a reverence that I did not think I would feel if I changed my custom. It so happens that I have rarely attended Mass where there have not been altar rails or at least a place to kneel and the priests I know have always made it clear that parishioners are free to choose either mode of reception.
Yet reading this book has concentrated the mind wonderfully, so much so that there now seems only one answer to the question I posed at the beginning of the blog. Bishop Schneider does not provide liturgical arguments in favour of the Extraordinary Form of Mass (though I suspect he is sympathetic to it); he simply asks, what is the reverence that is due to God at the supreme moment of our Communion with Him, and how do we properly show it? He begins with an affecting personal history: the story of three 'Eucharistic women', his mother, his great-aunt and a parishioner, all of who taught him by their example of "extraordinary love, care and the greatest reverence possible."
The Schneider family, along with other German Catholics, were exiled after the war to central Asia. There they struggled to live their Catholic Faith, far from a priest, parish or church. A visiting priest once allowed the Bishop's mother to have a consecrated Host to give to her dying mother; for this she wore new white gloves, held the Host with tweezers and burnt the envelope in which it had been kept. His great-aunt was allowed to retain a Host to display secretly for an hour's adoration on the nine first Fridays of each month before reverently consuming it. The lady parishioner travelled several hundred miles every year to receive a pyx containing consecrated Hosts, which she would distribute on Sundays in her hidden 'parish' for 30 years.
In the second part of the book, the Bishop provides scholarly references to the Church Fathers and the saints concerning reception of Our Lord kneeling and on the tongue. He includes a quotation from Fr Faber while still an Anglican, deeply impressed by the sight of the Pope in the Church of St John Lateran in 1843, as he "descended from his throne and knelt at the foot of the altar…a scene more touching than I had ever seen before."
The book's preface is written by Bishop Malcolm Ranjith, secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. He writes: "It is now time to evaluate carefully the practice of Communion in the hand and if necessary to abandon what was never actually called for in the Vatican document, Sacrosanctum Consilium."
Bishop Schneider himself concludes: "The Church must be reformed, starting with the Eucharist!"
There you have it; and I am at last able to give reasons for clinging to an old habit other than an inchoate sense that it was appropriate.

Lehman, 52, will be making his third appearance in the most historic and prestigious event in senior golf, having captured the 2010 Championship in a playoff over Fred Couples and David Frost, also among the entrants. The Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid makes its second-ever visit to Valhalla Golf Club, and first since 2004, with 156 players competing on the 7,297-yard Jack Nicklaus-designed course.
The 1996 Open Champion and captain of the 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup Team, Lehman is joined in the field by the following major champions: Paul Azinger (1993 PGA Championship), Mark Brooks (1996 PGA Championship); Mark Calcavecchia (1989 Open Championship); Couples (1992 Masters); Wayne Grady (1990 PGA Championship); Hale Irwin (1974, '79, '90 U.S. Open); Tom Kite (1992 U.S. Open); Bernhard Langer (1985, '93 Masters); Sandy Lyle (1985 Open Championship, 1988 Masters); Larry Mize (1987 Masters); Larry Nelson (1981, '87 PGA Championship, '83 U.S. Open); Andy North (1978, '85 U.S. Open); Mark O'Meara (1998 Masters, '98 Open Championship); Jerry Pate (1976 U.S. Open); Corey Pavin (1995 U.S. Open); Nick Price (1992, '94 PGA Championship, '94 Open Championship); Scott Simpson (1987 U.S. Open); Jeff Sluman (1988 PGA Championship); Craig Stadler (1981 Masters); Hal Sutton (1983 PGA Championship); Bob Tway (1986 PGA Championship); Lanny Wadkins (1977 PGA Championship); Tom Watson (1975, '77, '80, '82, '83 Open Championship, '77, '81 Masters, '82 U.S. Open); and Fuzzy Zoeller (1979 Masters, '84 U.S. Open).
Lehman is one of eight Senior PGA Champions among the early entrants, and joined by Michael Allen (2009); Jay Haas (2006, '08); Irwin (1996, '97, '98, 2004); Mike Reid (2005); Doug Tewell (2000), Tom Wargo (1993), Watson (2001) and Zoeller (2002).
Kenny Perry, who makes his Senior PGA Championship debut, leads Kentucky's delegation. Perry, a resident of Franklin, Ky., was runner-up in the 1996 PGA Championship at Valhalla; and returned to the course in 2008 where helped guide a victorious U.S. Ryder Cup Team. He will be joined by Russ Cochran of Paducah, the 54-hole leader in the 1996 PGA Championship; and Ted Schulz of Louisville, who owns a 2010 Champions Tour title.
The Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid brings together the strongest field in senior golf. Begun in 1937, the Championship attracts the legends of the game and the newest members of senior professional golf to new audiences throughout the United States.
For nearly 25 years, Valhalla Golf Club has hosted premier events - from the 1996 and 2000 PGA Championships, the 2002 PGA Professional National Championship and 2004 Senior PGA Championship, to the 2008 Ryder Cup.

(CNN) -- San Diego Mayor Bob Filner's former spokeswoman sued him for sexual harassment Monday, calling Filner unfit "to hold any public office" and adding a new dimension to the scandal he faces.
Irene McCormack Jackson said she and other women were subjected to "crude and disgusting" comments and inappropriate touching by Filner. She said she resigned as Filner's communications director in June after deciding that the mayor would not change his behavior.
"I had to work and do my job in an atmosphere where women were viewed by Mayor Filner as sexual objects or stupid idiots," Jackson said. She said Filner asked her to work without underwear and made repeated sexual advances toward her.
"He is not fit to be mayor of our great city. He is not fit to hold any public office. A man who lacks character makes a mockery of his ideas," she said.
Filner has been battling allegations of sexual harassment for several weeks, but none of the women leveling those claims had come forward before Jackson filed suit in a state court Monday. Her lawyer, Gloria Allred, called on Filner to resign, telling reporters, "Apologies alone will not take care of this injustice."
In a statement issued Monday evening, Filner said he was "saddened" by the accusations, but "I remain committed to the people of San Diego and the work that needs to be done."
"Once due process is allowed to unfold, I am certain there will be a better understanding of this situation," he said, adding, "I humbly ask that through this vicious storm of controversy, people take a moment and temper their rush to judgment."
Filner said last week that he believes he will be vindicated by "a full presentation of the facts." But he has also acknowledged, "I need help," and added, "I'm clearly doing something wrong."
"I am embarrassed to admit that I have failed to fully respect the women who work for me and with me, and that at times I have intimidated them," Filner said in a statement earlier this month. "It's a good thing that behavior that would have been tolerated in the past is being called out in this generation for what it is: inappropriate and wrong."
Jackson's lawsuit names Filner and the city as defendants. San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said his office will defend the city but not Filner, who he said has hired his own lawyer.
Asked whether his office would urge Filner to resign, Goldsmith said, "There's enough legal issues to keep us busy. I'm not getting into the political ones."
The 70-year-old Filner served five terms in Congress before being elected mayor in 2012. Rep. Susan Davis, a San Diego-area congresswoman who served alongside Filner, joined calls for his resignation on Monday.
"Despite his inclusive vision for San Diego, Mayor Filner has lost the confidence of San Diegans to lead," Davis, a fellow Democrat, said in a written statement. "He has taken advantage of the trust the voters placed in him and lost both the promise and capacity to ignite positive change. His behavior, if not illegal, is reprehensible."
Davis said she and Filner "have never had a smooth relationship," but she "respected his passion for our city and his interest to change the way business is done."
"But all of that is now lost because he did not have enough passion for the city to curb his incomprehensible and unacceptable behavior," she said.
Another Democrat, former City Councilwoman Donna Frye, and two attorneys who say they represented accusers had leveled allegations against the mayor before Monday.
Jackson said her decision to resign was clinched after Filner's deputy chief of staff resigned in June. Filner "refused to listen to someone he had known for 35 years, and who told him explicitly, during a senior staff meeting, that his behavior with women was terrible and possibly illegal.
Filner "laughed it off," she said. She said Filner challenged her to provide one example of improper behavior; when she brought up his comments about wearing underwear, "He had no comeback," she said.
The San Diego Sheriff's Department has established a hotline for accusers, who are allowed to remain anonymous under California law. Since the phone number was announced Friday, the department has received calls, spokeswoman Jan Caldwell told CNN on Monday.
No further details were given.
CNN's Amanda Watts, Chuck Johnston and Greg Botelho contributed to this report.

Android gets a lot of flack for having a malware problem and being generally more unsafe to use than iOS, however there is a significant circumstance according to a new report in which Android prevails in the safety department. Apparently, Android apps on average share less of your personal data than iOS apps might. This means that despite Apple's controversial approval process, iOS apps are slightly more sneaky with your information.
The news comes from Appthority's February 2013 App Report that examined the top 50 free apps in both the iOS App Store and Google Play for the use of potentially harmful use of personal information. There are six main types in the study: sending/receiving data without encryption, ad networks and/or analytics, location tracking, single sign-on support, contacts/addresses, and other.
Every single app (100 percent) in the App Store top 50 sent/received information without encryption, while 92 percent did in the Google Play top 50. Ad networks/analytics were present in 60 percent of iOS apps and 50 percent of Android, location tracking in 60 percent of iOS and 42 percent of Android… you see the trend.
It seems like this is something Apple may need to tackle in the future if it truly does become controversial, although there's no calling whether that will happen or not. Some of the categories, though, like single sign-on support aren't dangerous in and of themselves. They just provide gateways to possibly dangerous behavior for personal data within the apps.

U.S., Iran hope to reach deal by Friday on nuclear program
On the eve of crucial negotiations over Iran's controversial nuclear program, U.S. and Iranian diplomats expressed hope Wednesday that they'll be able reach an initial understanding leading to a comprehensive accord by Friday.
The deal would involve lifting for six months some of the international economic sanctions that have been imposed on Iran in exchange for its curbing the enrichment of uranium.
Such a deal would mark a breakthrough in the decade-long dispute over a program that the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China fear is intended to produce a nuclear weapon.
"What we're looking for now is a first phase, a first step, an initial understanding that stops Iran's nuclear program for the first time in decades and potentially rolls some of it back," a senior U.S. official said. The official, a member of the U.S. delegation led by Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman, couldn't be identified under the rules of the briefing.
At the heart of the proposal is the demand that Iran halt the expansion of its ability to enrich uranium, presumably by not buying new centrifuges, the equipment used in the enrichment process. That's a change from previous demands that Iran stop enriching uranium past a certain purity.
Iran already has produced a sizable stockpile of low-enriched uranium and a more worrisome supply of 200 kilograms – 440 pounds – of uranium enriched to 25 percent purity. Experts say there's no clear need in Iran's peaceful nuclear program for the latter amount, and that if Iran decided to, that 25 percent could be enriched quickly to the high-level purity needed to produce a nuclear weapon.
Iran's new foreign minister, Javad Zarif, said Iran was "prepared to reach an agreement" in the talks this week.
"We are optimistic that we can move forward," he told France 24, an all-news television channel. Zarif said that while the negotiations were expected to take at least a year to complete, Iran needed to have a sense of the final outcome. He appeared to be referring to Iran's demand to end the most devastating sanctions, which limit oil sales and international banking relations. The accord under discussion this week, he said, addresses the most immediate concerns of Iran, the U.S. and the five other nations.
"I believe it's not difficult to reach that agreement," Zarif said. If the six major powers "are prepared to reach an agreement, then we can have an agreement."
Because so little has come out about the behind-scenes talks since they kicked off in Geneva in mid-October, it wasn't clear whether the two sides were genuinely on the edge of an agreement or whether both were posturing and professing eagerness for a deal in order to increase psychological pressure on each other.
The senior U.S. official said the six powers were willing to expand on an offer they'd made in February at talks in Almaty, Kazakhstan, that Iran rejected at the time. That proposal offered to ease bans on the sale of Iran's petrochemicals and precious metals in return for a complete halt in uranium enrichment beyond a 20 percent level. This time, it's a sliding scale.
"We do have a menu of options that allow us to mix and match . . . what we might be willing to do depending on what they would do," the official said.
The six-month period for the interim agreement is only a proposal and hasn't been agreed to, the official said.
One of the biggest questions as the talks resume in Geneva is whether the U.S. Congress will impose additional unilateral sanctions against Iran, a step that Israel and its supporters in Congress favor but the Obama administration adamantly opposes. The senior official appealed to Congress not to do so: "Our experts believe any additional sanctions would be harmful at a truly crucial moment."
Imposing new sanctions might undercut the prospects for a deal, which would leave "no attractive alternatives," the official said. In fact, the only alternatives are allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons or going to war to prevent it.
Taking a pause in imposing sanctions isn't taking a position on sanctions as such. "This is a decision to support or not support diplomacy," the official said.
"For the first time, Iran appears to be committed to moving the process forward quickly," the official added.
Zarif, a fluent English speaker who studied at San Francisco State University and the University of Denver and served as Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, shouldered some of the blame for the deep lack of trust between his country and the United States and other major powers.
He called the current standoff "an unnecessary crisis" because Iran doesn't seek nuclear weapons. "We believe that even the perception that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons is detrimental to our security," he told France 24.
In the three weeks since the first formal round of negotiations in Geneva, Iran had talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna that Zarif described as "very productive." He called a further set of talks among technical experts from Iran and the six powers "a good round."
Zarif said that if the negotiations didn't result in a deal this week, they would at the next round. "I do believe if we cannot reach a breakthrough in this round, it is a disaster," he said, "because it's taken a long time to reach this state."
He said there was a need to build confidence. "We believe the first steps will take us a long way in rebuilding that confidence, and then we can take the more difficult steps," he said.

Computer Lab
The Computer Lab of the Sheriff's Office was established to provide computer and Internet investigative support in the acquisition and analysis of digital evidence. There has been a sharp increase in crimes involving computers, suggesting that there is a need for a specialized computer forensics laboratory at the Sheriff's Office. Crimes now days takes many different forms and includes the use of computers and other digital devices, which require very specialized training to forensically examine these devices for evidence of crimes. Unfortunately, the training and equipment that is required to conduct these types of investigations and forensic exams is very costly and not many departments have the resources to operate a computer lab. Fortunately for the citizens of Grand Traverse County, the Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners and the Sheriff recognize the need to have a computer lab and have been committed to the success of the lab.
Lab & Staff Certification
To date, there is 1 detective that works in the lab and conducts Internet investigations and forensically examines digital hardware. The detective has gone through very extensive training in computer forensics.
The detective is also a member of the
Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force
, which was created by the United States Department of Justice to help State and local law enforcement agencies enhance their investigative response to offenders who use the Internet, online communication systems, or other computer technology to sexually exploit children.

Creativity is on display at Bronner Brothers
Around every corner, there was something else spectacular and jaw-dropping—whether it be hair fashioned into a cube or a bare-chested man with long, flowing curls.
Welcome to Bronner Brothers.
Jane Carter Solution model expresses his curl pride
The show was founded in 1947 by Nathaniel H. Bronner Sr. and his brother, Arthur Bronner Sr. It is recognized as the largest beauty and trade show of its kind in the world.
Incredible hair creations were on display everywhere—from the models on stages to the people attending the show.
Models, clothed and unclothed, promoted hair products
One of the highlights of Sunday's show was the Grab Bag Competition. In this contest, contestants are only allowed to use products that they are given in a grab bag. Stylist must give his or her model a hairstyle that will complement her outfit. Styles on stage included braids, twists, updos and more.
Grab Bag Contestants show off their creations
Natural hairstyles had a bigger presence at the show than ever before. In addition to the abundance of new products for people wearing their hair natural, there were many educational opportunities for stylists who work for natural hair.
Model expresses his style with his hair
Taliah Waajid, a natural hair expert, gathered a group of stylists to share her more than 25 years of experience living and working with natural hair. Many of the stylists in the room worked exclusively with natural hair, while others had seen their clientele of chemical-free clients rise steadily over the past five years.
Mizani showcases extraordinary styles at its booth
"There's a lot more versatility when you wear your hair chemical-free," said Waajid, who launched her line of natural hair products in 1996. "When they came out, there was nothing for people who were chemical-free."
Hair color spanned the shades of the rainbow
Models wore styles of all shapes and textures
Crowds poured into Bronner Brothers show, sporting their own unique styles

So why my passion for wedding photography?
My love for weddings is not specifically about rings or dresses. Instead I am very passionate about the stories, moments and some cheese-free portraits.
I want to capture a feeling, something that feels authentic rather than just a pretty picture. The love between family & friends as well as the couple. Doing my best to be a fly on the wall during the day and capturing the stuff that matters – real moments!
A wedding is an adventure for me and if you feel the same – lets talk & and get the adventure going!

text: Wise Women, Leadership, and Zealotry Posted on June 26, 2013 | by Nechama Tamler As you read about and watch this week's Torah portion, some ideas to consider: Is zealotry ever warranted? Why and why not? What do Zelophechad's five daughters have to teach you about speaking truth to power? What do you think of Moshe's reaction to being told he is going to die without going into Israel? If you can remember all the way back to last week, we ended the parasha about the talking donkey (Balak) with the story of a zealot priest by the name of Pinchas who stabs to death Cozbi, the Midianite princess, and Zimri, the Israelite son of a chief in the Tribe of Simeon, while they are having sex. Pretty salacious and graphic — and an insight into the personality of Pinchas. This week's parasha is actually named after that very same priest, Pinchas, about whom we will say more later. For now, though, we concentrate on one of the most promising and up-beat stories of the entire Torah: the story of the five daughters of a man named Zelophechad. Zelophechad: hard to pronounce but important to remember because of the way he might have inspired his daughters to speak truth to power. In English, you might pronounce his name Z'LOFF-HOD, the way the storyteller does in the G-dcast episode. In Hebrew, we pronounce it with a twist at the beginning, TZ'LOAF-CHOD (with a guttural ch sound for the final syllable). The storyteller rightly zeroes in on the story of the perfectly articulated case of the five women, Mahlah, Noah, Hohglah, Milkah, and Tirtzah, the unwed daughters of Zelophechad, from the Tribe of Manasseh. The women state that they should be allowed to inherit their father's portion of land after his death, just as would be the case if they had brothers — if Zelophechad had sons. But he didn't, and so they come forward to Moshe/Moses to point out the inequity of this situation. Now, here is the astounding part: Moshe presumably doesn't know how to answer them because he brings their case forward to God. God replies, "Rightly do the daughters of Zelophechad speak," and continues to amend the laws that had been previously understood concerning who may inherit land so that the tribe continues to hold onto its territory (Numbers 27: 7-9). Later, in chapter 36, we get an amendment to this law, which the storyteller points out. This is a giant step forward for the women of the day (biblical times) and an essential message to all of us today. Namely, when something seems out of joint and plainly unfair, one must step forward to make the case for equality. Is it just coincidence that the Defense of Marriage Act was struck down this week by the Supreme Court? Hopefully, Mahlah, Noah, Hoghlah, Milkah, and Tirtzah will continue to motivate and even encourage us to bring forth arguments for equal treatment before the law to the legal authorities who have the power to change the status quo for the better. Immediately after settling the issue of daughters being able to inherit, God tells his servant Moshe to ascend to the top of Mt. Abarim and look over the whole land that is promised to the Israelites. He is then told that he will not be allowed to enter the Land (Numbers 27: 13-14). Is Moshe shocked? He doesn't seem to be. God gives him the reason (again, verse 14) and maybe, just maybe, Moshe realizes that his sin was sufficiently grievous, such that he merits this harsh sentence. Also, maybe Moshe understands that he is of the old generation and no longer an optimal leader. Out of his love for the people he has shepherded all these years he asks God to appoint a successor ("so that the Lord's community will not be like a flock without a shepherd"). God instructs him to take Joshua/Yehoshua, the son of Nun, and stand with him in front of Eleazar, the priest, in full view of the people and lay his hands upon the new leader, investing in him the power and the wisdom to lead the people into their Promised Land. I think you might be wondering about the sin that Moshe merits. The hint comes when God says that Moshe and Aaron "rebelled against My word in the Wilderness of Zin…to SANCTIFY Me through the water" in front of the complaining masses of thirsty Israelites. God's instruction at the time was for the two brothers to speak to the rock, making it crystal clear that it was the same God who redeemed the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt who is now slacking their thirst, bringing forth water from the rock, again saving them. Instead, Moshe and Aaron said to the Israelites, "shall we bring forth water for you?" implying that it is they who are the saviors of the people, rather than God. God knows that this people have little faith and need to be reminded of God's miracles all the time — God needs to be sanctified and made holy at every opportunity. And in this Moshe and Aaron failed big time, and thus their punishment not to enter the Promised Land. I said I would return to the character of Pinchas, who is a complicated figure because of his zealotry. As Moshe imagines who will lead the people after his death, one might imagine that Moshe would think that Pinchas would be the logical successor. After all, Pinchas is from the priestly clan, and has already shown himself to take leadership (when he killed Cozbi and Zimri to avert the decimation of the entire Israelite nation). In last week's parasha, Numbers 25: 11-12, Pinchas is even granted a covenant of peace, a "brit shalom." But… one letter of that word, shalom, the letter vov (which looks like a straight line and gives that "o" sound), is calligraphied with a break in its middle. Kind of a visual hint or reminder that true peace cannot come from zealotry. And true leaders cannot be hotheads, who take a spear in their anger, and aim to kill. Maybe all of this runs through the mind of our leader Moshe, when he hears God tell him that the new leader will be Joshua. God may have awarded Pinchas a brit shalom, a pact of peace, but, maybe it's not what it seems. To explore this idea, here's another fascinating read by Shamai Leibowitz, in his blog, Pursuing Justice. About Nechama Tamler View all posts by Nechama Tamler →

sikh chic. sorry, couldn't resist. love the checks with the skinny tie and the marc jacob-esque (?? can't remember which runway i saw it on) glasses. who knew big glasses would come back?!
He's rockin' that look.
I want to be in his gang.
Brilliant!!! !!! !!!
Thanks for showing the beautiful parts of India. Your latest posts have made me miss home :)
whoa. that is one crazy paper clip.
he looks amazing. love the checks.
He looks fab. I love seeing traditional guys rocking the modern.
this is my favorite of your india pics so far. you could swoop him up, transplant him into nyc, and he wouldn't miss a beat!
I love how the shape of the top part of his turban is echoed in the bottle caps of the ads behind him. What a fabulous compostion!
this is sick dude... I am impressed by your hunting skills.. I have roamed the streets of Delhi for ages, but not seen anything so brilliant... The mixing of patterns...the tone... sweet stuff.. I do wish he had that one bit of colour man... something....
so this is where all the cute desi guys are hiding. goddamit.
He's really making the patka work.
i am also quite fond of the setting.
it's wild.
AWESOME! Traditional + rock and roll has never looked so well pulled together. Love the mix of geometric patterns with the shirt and belt. Great accessories too (the glasses crack me up!). What a natural.
I'm enjoying The New Delhi colors! So Vivid!
That's all I can say about your photos in India!
I think that your 'hunt' in New Delhi has been far more interesting that in any other 1st world capital.
Now I'm anxiously waiting for more!!
I like the ice-cream-cookie-soda lorry in the background, its kind of tacky advertising stile, but it makes my eyes happy. Colour, colour, colour!
whoa! coolest guy ever.
And Im lovin it in front of the soda truck.
Awesome shot.
seriously cool...wow.
He looks great! Who knew a paper clip could be so fashion-foward?
what a cutie :D
he's so cool!
Usually i don't like the patka but man, he's working it...
I adore this whole look. The rocker and the traditional Indian look is an interesting, albeit amazing, contrast.
thank you maurice for pointing out the paper clip as tie clip! I used to use 2 paper clips and a rubber band as cufflinks sometimes.. very smart.
I love the Delhi pics - they reveal a different side than what I'm used to seeing. I love this guy - as an anonymous said - he would fit in NY, so I say he would also fit well on any street in L.A.
OMG you are in India!! Wow, your photos there are going to be a set of jewels to admire!! Cant wait to post this comment and head off checking the other photos out!
I love the India photos, but this one is the best yet!
Perfect! All I can say in addition is:
Dost Whol Jo TREAT De!!
This is a really cool stylish dude! How come people in India are smiling (or, who knows, maybe even laughing out loud) while in NY they mostly look serious (or maybe even gloomy)? Just asking...
Translation of the mango juice billboard
"A Friend is Someone who Gives you a Treat"
I wanna be his friend! He just seems like he has a really cool story. And the accessories are FIYAH! Just enough. Keep 'em comin' Sart.
wow!! i want his belt:D
I absolutely love this photo...every element of it is captivating!
He's definitely one rockin' Sikh!
cool kid indeed. i've always thought that real 'coolness' exists only in individuals willing to be themselves, unabashedly and without apology. rock on kid!
Aw, this guy brings a smile to my face. He seems super cool! I especially like the "ethnic" turban mixed with the "urban" rnr style below.
So awesome!
I had to draw him, his style is just too great.
hey thats me.. :D
i loved this picture of mine when u clicked it, but had no clue it would be here.
Thank u guys for ur comments. I appreciate it. Really!
this is the greatest picture I have ever seen
Dude is freakin cool. Wonder what this guy drives?
notice the contrast between the background and the subject. the subject himself is dressed head-to-toe in monochrome, but the background is bursting with bold colour. genius!
Aaaaah, pictures like this just make me smile!
Keep 'em comin', Sart!
no doubt..its an awesome pic..u just fantastic..Sutjeet rock...wowwwww
Raman, Dude! Way to rock the hipster thing! Love the glasses. This IS were all the cute Desi guys are hiding. Dang!
Avani! is that u?
raman, u got jattitude
love the contrast in colour.
heard those cookies (in the background ad) are all the rage in those parts ... :)
that's so cool.
I absolutely do not like this look at all. Yuck! The baggy pants make his torso look strangely elongated and his legs look like short stick. Not a good look in any culture.
he looks just great! he has found his own way how to put modern and traditional style together and it looks so cool!
Brilliant Smarties! Bravo! :)
pingu...supah cool...
Yeah Piglet!
lol yeah well guess what? we got swag. hahhaha. jk but all i meant is we do have fashion in India, but more Indian than western. Kurta Pyjama on women can look absolutely any way they want it to. People resonate themselves more often than not, and naturally as peer pressure makes no sense in such a diversely cultural country. Every single thing is not gross or disgusting or rude or ugly or irresponsible. And its hard to get over the surface of India but when you do theres absolutely nothing like it. And do NOT get me started on food....

University Payment Plan
Enrollment for payment plans is through PittPAY. The fall and spring term-related plans begin as early as May for fall term and November for spring term, and include from six to two installments. There is also an annual plan for both fall and spring terms that begins as early as May and includes up to 12 installments. The summer term plan has three installments beginning in May.
The number of installments you will be eligible for depends on how early you enroll in the plan.
There is a $55 non-refundable enrollment fee for the fall, spring, and summer plans, and a $90 non-refundable enrollment fee for the annual plan (that encompasses both fall and spring terms).
Students must owe at least $500 per term to qualify for enrollment.
Payment Plan payments can only be made by auto-debit from a credit card or bank account. If you elect to pay by credit or debit card, you will be charged a non-refundable 2.75% service charge for each transaction. No fee is charged for payments made by eCheck from checking accounts.
The enrollment fee will be debited (charged) as soon as you complete the payment plan enrollment process. Each installment will be automatically debited on the 5th of the month. You will not receive eBills in PittPAY if you are enrolled in a payment plan.
Since you can enroll in a fall or annual payment plan before the University has determined tuition, room and meal plan rates for a new academic year (this typically does not occur until mid-July), and you can enroll in a spring or summer plan before tuition and fees are calculated on your student account, the payment plan's budget calculator will assist you in determining your estimated payment plan budget. The amount of your early installments will be based on the estimated amounts determined during the Payment Plan enrollment process.
Once the student is registered for classes for the term and has actual charges posted to the student account, we will automatically adjust your payment plan balance to match the amount due on the student account. We will subtract anticipated financial aid that has not yet applied to the student account in computing the adjusted amount of the actual payment plan balance.
You will be notified of any change we make to the payment plan balance and to the amount of remaining installments. Students are notified to their Pitt email address and Authorized Payers are notified to the email address in their PittPAY User Preferences.
Once we have adjusted the payment plan balance to correspond to the student account balance, if an installment debit is not successful you will be removed from the payment plan. This might occur if a credit card transaction is declined, or an eCheck is returned for insufficient funds or the bank account is closed. You will also be charged a $30 non-refundable fee for each failed debit. If you wish to enroll in a new plan after this occurs, you will be charged another non-refundable enrollment fee.
Students may enroll in the payment plan themselves. Students can also create an Authorized Payer in PittPAY and that individual may log into PittPAY, using the login ID and password their student has assigned to them, and enroll their student in a payment plan. Students can have only one active payment plan for the academic period at a time (two Authorized Payers may not each have a plan for the same student in the same academic period such as fall term).
Please note that we cannot discuss any student account details or any payment plan details with individuals who are not designated in PittPAY as the student's Authorized Payers.
To enroll in a Payment Plan:
Students log onto
my.pitt.edu, select PittPAY login, and select Payment Plan from the PittPAY menu.
Authorized Payers log onto payments.pitt.edu then select Authorized Payers login to PittPAY. Enter the PittPAY login name and password your student assigned then select Payment Plan from the PittPAY menu.

Enroll in a Payment Plan before the dates listed below and you will be offered a corresponding number of installments.

The Fly Room's vibrant cast is a blend of emerging and professional actors, world's leading minds in science and 10-year-old Zoe Brooks, who is making her feature film debut.
The Fly Room was brought into being by an multidisciplinary team who have honed their creative skills working across all facets of visual storytelling.
"I first learned about the Fly Room laboratory during a genetics seminar in graduate school. The boys in the lab, supervised by Thomas Hunt Morgan, worked on fruit flies and were the main forces behind the birth of modern genetics. My attention was caught by Calvin Bridges, a James Dean-flavored scientist whose quest for genetic answers clouded his ability to connect emotionally. While I was researching this historical era of science, I started my own research on fruit flies. A few years into my PhD, I serendipitously met Betsey, the 95-year old daughter of Calvin Bridges.
The Fly Room feature was born from a series of conversations with Betsey. After telling her about my work on flies, she opened up about her relationship with her father. I was compelled by the intimate tragedy of a little girl trying to decipher her father while he was simultaneously trying to decipher the genetic code. Her stories are charged with emotion and provide a complex view of her father and his scientific world."

Support Is Everywhere
Sometimes support comes from the most unexpected sources.
Case in point: today, during and at the end of my hillsprints session, I was given support by no less than FOUR completely unrelated and random strangers.
So, of course I gave it right back (where I could … one guy didn't give me the option).
When stuff like that happens, it can be really motivating.
It can also help a person find energy where they thought they had none left to burn.
If you're open to it, support really IS everywhere.
Ya just gotta pay attention when it's coming your way.
Here's the whole story:
Never be afraid to offer some random stranger support when they're working hard. It can go a long way.
And if someone shouts "GO GET 'EM" at you while you're doing your thing, let it feed you. Take all the energy you can get from it.
It really does help make the workouts more fun …
… and sometimes it even makes the task at hand seem just a little bit easier.
Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.
Here's a little tool that ALSO makes the workouts more fun… and easier!
