Cardiff Met student, Lloyd Birt
A Cardiff Metropolitan University student is looking to retain his title at one of Wales' leading Karate competitions for the eleventh year in a row.
Lloyd Birt, who studies Bsc Sport and Physical Education, is hoping to add to his impressive list of medals at the KUGB (Karate Union of Great Britain) Welsh Championships in Merthyr Tydfil, on June 21st.
Since he began studying at Cardiff Met two years ago, Lloyd has won a series of national and international medals. His accolades include four World medals, two European medals, 18 National medals and 20 Welsh medals.
20-year-old Lloyd, from Blackwood, initially began practising Karate at just eight years old, earning his first black-belt aged 11.
Last September, he took part in the World Shotokan Karate Association Championships, which saw almost 900 competitors from 28 different countries descend on Liverpool's Echo Arena to battle it out for the sport's highest achievements.
Lloyd faced competition from a host of top International competitors and came away with two medals: silver in the Junior category and a Bronze in the Senior, despite the fact that he hasn't turned 21 yet.
He narrowly missed out on becoming World Champion in the Junior category after being defeated by the eventual winner by only 0.3 point.
As a result of his outstanding performance in the Championship he has now been selected for both England's Central Region and Wales' national Karate squad. He was also selected to compete at the European Karate Championships in Portugal last December, where he won another Bronze medal.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to competing in the Welsh championships. It's important for me to perform well in this competition and the British Championships in May as I have my sights firmly set on being selected for the European Championships later this year in Switzerland.
"Although balancing training, competing and studying is a challenge, I actually find that studying helps give me a break and focus on something different. The university have been incredibly supportive and I am thankful to everyone for their encouragement."
As well as competing in the Welsh division of the competition, Lloyd will also compete in the KUGB British Championships at the NIA Birmingham on May 3rd.
Lloyd regularly trains with Tekki RS Karate Club at Cardiff, with his coach Simon Thompson (5th Dan).

If you've ever wondered why dogs howl, you are not alone. This is a common question that can be answered fairly easily.
For many dog owners, your four-legged friend is more than "just your dog", he really and truly is a member of the family. He's you companion on adventures, he's your support system when you're feeling a little blue and he's loyal to you whenever you feel lonely, or down and out. For all of the things that your dog is to you and your family, he deserves a reward, and that's why many pet parents opt to celebrate their pooch's birthday.

Are we feeling optimistic yet? Oops... no. There's a bitter taste in the progressive air, and in light of this whole "we're going to compromise with Republicans" talk, people are starting to get angry. (Well, angrier.) Can Pelosi lead the charge? Will Dems stay on message? Can we remain focu- THERE'S GONNA BE FACEBOOK EMAIL?!
Sorry, sorry. We're totally focused. We swear.
The newly-minted GOP majority is looking forward to spending your tax dollars to "investigate" health care reform, the Stimulus, anything Obama and whatever the hell else they can think up. This means the creation of numerous subcommittees. Conservatism and small government, right, you guys? Also, candidate Rand Paul backed a ban on earmarks, but now it looks like he's going to be disappointing his Tea Party followers. But don't worry! Jim DeMint will gladly take that banner from Rand for use on his presidential campaign! Also, Nancy Reagan has already announced plans for a debate between a few unknown GOP candidates next spring.
Nancy Pelosi is spending her final weeks as Speaker of the House ginning up support from colleagues to back her return as minority leader. However, more and more conservative Democrats are asking that she step aside. Meanwhile, she's trying to broker a deal between Steny Hoyer and Jim Clyburn, who are battling over the No. 2 spot. On the other side of the aisle, Michele Bachmann ended her short campaign to be chair of the House Republican Conference. But hey, she'll still be a great source of mockery in any position she holds. On the Senate side, Reid has reportedly asked a fellow westerner to head the DSCC.
While Barry is overseas, Gibbsy is in charge (no!!!). So Gibbsy, is the White House caving to Repubs over extending tax cuts for the rich? Er, maybe not? Democrats are furious. What.is.compromise? Stay tuned -- this tax cat-fight (rowr!) during the lame-duck session (uh... quack?) is going to get real nasty. Come home, Barry!
Desperation is setting in for Alaska Tea Partier Joe Miller. Come on now, whose name is this? That's right -- his attorneys challenged that ballot for some reason. For future reference, peeps, please don't write any letter in cursive or in "bubble form" on your ballot.
These days it seems Texas wants to take the "Craziest State in the Union" mantle from Arizona. First, we have State Rep. Debbie Riddle (HAH), who made a name for herself claiming to have secret info. about little terrorist anchor babies. Now she fears them so much that she camped out in in front of the clerk's office to file her own Arizona-like immigration bill. Not to be outdone, recently re-elected Gov. Rick Perry says states should be able opt out of Social Security, while GOP lawmakers are looking at dropping Medicaid. Wow, we feel sorry for sooo many Texans right now...
Reports indicate that Burma is on the verge of releasing pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest for more than two decades.
The Week That Was
So... apparently Sarah is an economics expert. How has she been able to hide this fact from us for two years? We know she hates the Wall Street Journal, but can ya get those pesky facts straight, Sarah? She was also in Pennsylvania for some reason or another and decided that buying cookies would be a great way to protest a mythical "nanny state."
Obama has been a busybee overseas. He endorsed India to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. Thanks to a smoldering volcano, his journey to his boyhood home of Indonesia was cut to under a day. The media turned its attention to food and, uh, a gay nanny. And then he was off to Seoul to say thanks to the troops on Veterans Day and to participate in a two-day G-20 summit. Michelle Obama headed home early and surprised a couple hundred troops and their family members on Veterans Day. Plus, was this handshake with Michelle really a diplomatic faux pas or just another case of fame-seeking? That sure doesn't look like avoidance to us.
Eight months after their election, Iraqis have tentatively agreed to a plan for a unity government. Iraq's current Prime Minister will return for a second term. There's still much more too be done, obviously. Also, its looking like the Obama administration is moving away from it's 2011 deadlines for an Afghanistan withdrawal.
Keith Olbermann returned to his show Tuesday after a very short suspension and apology from network execs. Did MSNBC retreat after pulling a Juan Williams? In any case, his "premiere" received strong ratings.
Cindy McCain joined the NOH8 campaign in the fight to repeal DADT. Boy, we'd love to have been around their dinner table after that one.
The U.S. Postal Service announced that it would go broke by the end of the 2011 fiscal year without congressional action.
More than 4k travelers are receiving a full refund and vouchers for a future trip from Carnival Cruise Lines after their ship became stranded in the waters off of Mexico earlier this week. It took nearly three days for two itty-bitty tugboats to tow the massive cruise ship back to San Diego. Spam to the rescue! Literally.
Are You Not Entertained?
Harry Potter premiered!!! Emma Watson looked absolutely gorgeous, in Queenie's opinion. Queenie's got her tickets for next weekend -- do you? In other new movie news, there is going to be a new Muppet movie possibly featuring Lady Gaga. Run, Kermit! RUN!
Sorry, Kim, but Hillary isn't much of a fan of you and your sisters' "work;" however, she did have some tips on the finer points of take-out dinners.
How has Bristol managed to stay in the game on DWTS? Why, the Teabaggers! Of course.
Awwww, Gwyneth! Isn't it adorable when actresses try to do anything other than acting?
CoCo is back! CoCo is back! And in more than one way. Did you see his AmEx commercial before tuning in to the premier? He managed to beat Jay and David in the ratings, although the swan song might be over just as soon as it began. In Jay's defense, he DID land the anti-masturbation witch.
We're not sure what to think about this Oprah story from yesterday. When a homeless man approached her limo, she first told him she had no money; after he told her a joke, she tossed him $100. Generous or condescending?
Kanye West freaking out about something should never be news, but this awkward interview responding to the Bush press wave this week is worth watching. What we wanna know is who was doing the heavy "lifting."
Everyone's favorite former CNN birther pundit, Lou Dobbs, is heading to the Fox Business Network. Lou should feel right at home.
Interweb Tomfoolery
This expert-level recipe from Rachel Ray is getting passed around lately. Print it and save it for a late night after the pub. You never know when it'll come in handy.
Also being passed around: Canada's answer to the Jersey Shore. We thought the debauchery Snooki creates wherever she goes was bad enough, but Lake Shore takes it to a whole new, twisted level. Will you be watching?
This is Conan-related, but techy. What happens when you Google "watch conan?"
This week's contribution from the fabled Republican Informant: Alvin Greene. ULTIMATE WARRIOR.
Jimmy Kimmel is leading the charge in Facebook Friend de-spamification next Wednesday. Will you be cleaning out the old Friend list? Possibly deleting some co-workers? Don't forget to add Turner Central after you're done with all that!
The completely inappropriate, totally politically incorrect (we know you're laughing but we won't tell anyone, promise) Stereotype Map. At least everyone is targeted equally!
The dude that leaked the news about Google's employees receiving massive raises and bonuses has totally been fired. And did you catch the completely-nonsensical "scandal" over the Google logo yesterday? Somebody over there needs to donate a few million to charity right quick. Oh, wait! Google's paying for our wi-fi during our holiday trips?! Yay, we love Google again!
Any of you Apple fans have some spare change laying around? Buy a piece of Apple history--if you can afford it.
What will happen to your Facebook page when you die? If this idea ever becomes real, we'll expect the apocalypse pretty soon after.
Out on the Town
Ah, the D.C. Tweed Ride. We mock it every year, and yet a part of us still wants to get dolled up and putter around with monocles on. And who doesn't LOVE tiny hats? (NO ONE. EXACTLY.)
Sculpture Garden! Ice skating! Queenie can't skate to save her life, but she'll totally go sip hot cocoa and watch you fall down a bunch of times. And hey, this weekend is going to be gorgeous, so might as well go outside. RECESS! (Seriously. That looks so flippin' fun.)
Catch the end of FotoWeek DC 2010 and celebrate with a fun potluck. If you're not cultured out, you can hit up the Rosebud Film Fest, or possibly the Museum Shop Around. Speaking of shopping, Little Miss Whiskey's is hosting a garage sale for all you people who didn't make it to the one last week. Pick up Queenie some concert posters, please!
Foodies, you might as well ignore all the other stuff we just told you about, since you'll probably be geeking out at the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show this weekend. Can someone PLEASE go ask Rachel about that bacon recipe?!
Ugh, can't believe we're saying this, but it's almost very nearly holiday season. We'd like to party at the Newseum this year, and B.Y.T. has that one covered. Any other cool parties going on? Let us know and we'll totally plug you (since we're totally invited, right?).
Finally, carve out some time to hang out with Dana Milbank on Saturday... nerd. (Just kidding -- if Queenie wasn't headed to Boston this weekend, she might go with you!)
A belated Happy Veterans Day to Turner Central friends and family!
Go have some fun this weekend, folks. Wolf Blitzer can teach you how to Dougie, or you can learn how to get a turkey boozed before the slaughter from Martha Stewart. Either way, the weather will be awesome!

11.12.10: Democratic Brokering, What's Wrong with Texas, and Canada is Dreaming of Jersey
1 comment:
I say we let Texas opt-out of all the federal entitlement programs. I'd LOVE to see that play out. Oh, and not to defend Gwnny or anything, cuz she likes herself a bit too much, but she really can sing, so you can't really lump her in the same category as the likes of Nicole Kidman (adequate in Moulin Rouge) or Pierce Brosnan (PAINFUL in Mama Mia).

House Teams and Rewards
We have four House Teams at Vale View. These are named after local landmarks:
Each house team has a colour linked to it and children wear special team t-shirts for PE in their House Colour. We try to ensure that siblings are all in the same House Team.
House Points
Our House Points are linked to Core Learning Skills and are awarded in recognition of specific targets and skills. The winning House are celebrated weekly in assembly and the House with the greatest number of points at the end of each term are rewarded for their hard work with a special film afternoon treat.
Other Rewards
Other rewards in school include a monthly Reward Afternoon when children take part in organised sessions of their choosing for the last hour of Friday afternoon. These sessions often include fun activities such as computer time, outdoor games, indoor board games and Art activities and have included choices like cooking, knitting, origami and many others in the past. Occasionally, when they have had three or more incidences of recorded poor behaviour over the month, children may miss some or all of the hour of Reward Afternoon.

Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort – Reedsport, OR
Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort is set on one of the most beautiful lakes we have seen in Oregon. The resort is located a half hour from the Oregon Coast just outside Reedsport.
The rv area is set alongside the marina which offers jet ski, waverunner, and other boat rentals. We had a blast riding the jet skis and waverunners and even got a workout in the canoes. The bathrooms and laundry were clean and spotless during our stay.

** spoilers everywhere **
Chapter Sixteen
Chapter Seventeen
Like Augustus, I was annoyed when Hazel started using "Gus." Yes, I do think it's from a lessening of interest in him.
Augustus wants so badly to be a famous person or a life-saving rescuer to feel his life has had meaning. Hazel feels insulted that the life he's had, including the part with her, is not enough for him. Legitimate complaint. I hope she manages to convince him that the kindness he showed is something worth valuing as a life well accomplished. I am still wondering why neither of them have considered trying to have a child. I mean, what was with using a condom back in Amsterdam? That's a route many, many people take to feel their lives have had significant meaning. I wonder if John Green censored himself on this point, for the audience.
Chapter Eighteen
Augustus' medical emergency is really worrying me because of the vulnerability of the situation. Hazel made a smart series of choices.
I recognize the red wheelbarrow poem from an audio course on modernism. The message I took from it then (and take now) is that simple things are of great importance, if we let them be important.
Yes, the chapters have been short.
Chapter Nineteen
The narrative is sliding inevitably and predictably along. Expecting a poignant scene of Augustus and Hazel going outside one last time to watch the sky and chat before he dies.
Chapter Twenty
Bam. Hazel's pre-eulogy made me my eyes water. I thought too much about the infinities thing last time.
Chapter Twenty-One
"The only person I really wanted to talk to about Augustus Waters's death was Augustus Waters." She lost her talking-partner-who-most-mattered.
I also can't stand condolences which are well-meaning but death-denying, e.g. living on in memory, or in Heaven, etc. I'm glad Hazel herself didn't do that. She didn't take away from the importance of his actual life or the complete loss of a person at death. The universe is in the business of making and unmaking consciousness, and what's important is what happens in-between.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Woah, I was not expecting the funeral guest.
Yes, Hazel, funerals are for the living and you have to accommodate them. She shows that she is an adult in another way, in the car right after that.
Chapter Twenty-Three
I do find it satisfying when people aren't simple. Yes, Van Houten was trying. Trying is the best start. Then I realized that Hazel went to him for answers and might have saved him instead, or not.
Chapter Twenty-Four
More complexity from Hazel's parents, but also misunderstanding. The thing that would have comforted Hazel most about her mother was kept back to avoid causing her worry.
Chapter Twenty-Five (final)
And the misty eyes on the last pages again. It's not about the characters in this novel. It's because I identify strongly with Hazel's views about the importance and unimportance of life. Because this book constantly called people in my life to mind and made me wish I could better explain what they mean to me. I might actually do something about that, which is the best a book can accomplish.
As for the intended audience, yes of course this is a wildly popular title. As I mentioned in an earlier entry, this is an especially well-crafted gathering of philosophy for readers who might not have encountered it before. I appreciate having something to recommend when it seems appropriate. Since this is also my first John Green book, I can also feel comfortable recommending his other books based on what I know of his style and the synopsis of those other books. I had been considering trying him out, so this was a great excuse to do so.
Writing these notes as I go along has been an interesting experience. At least one person has been reading these notes with interest. That helped.

Q&A: Joséphine de la Baume & Roxane Mesquida on Vampire sisterhood in "KISS OF THE DAMNED"Fearful Features,Movies/TV,News Samuel Zimmerman
At the center of the swirling, swooning style of Xan Cassavetes' direction in KISS OF THE DAMNED is the swirling, strained relationship of vampire sisters Djuna and Mimi. As heightened as the film itself, the performances from Joséphine de la Baume and Roxane Mesquida are deeply felt and loudly performed. FANGORIA spoke with the actresses about creating such a tender bond and the real life dilemmas explored in KISS OF THE DAMNED (now available on DVD and Blu-ray along with the fantastic soundtrack).
When the recording began, we were speaking of the film's fashion. There are spoilers throughout.
JOSÉPHINE DE LA BAUME: …Mix together an element of something she would have had for a long time and liked, with something modern.
FANGORIA: Did you bring elements to that, give input on what you believe the character would wear?
DE LA BAUME: I brought a lot of shoes, and I brought a lot of—I love Victorian jackets so I brought a lot of my jackets. I think that's how I dress in real life, just not as…
ROXANE MESQUIDA: That's how we sleep every night [laughs].
DE LA BAUME: I always like mixing one thing, like a shitty t-shirt and a nice jacket that my friend made. I like mixing something that's really unique. We both picked what we liked.
MESQUIDA: And I did the dress at the party with the feathers.
DE LA BAUME: Yea, you made it!
FANG: There are a lot of films this movie gets compared to and Xan was aware of it to a certain degree. How much had you grown up with, or seen any, of these films?
DE LA BAUME: I think Dario Argento, for example, is very famous in France. He's very respected. Personally, one of my favorite movies is the Polanski vampire movie, which is actually very different. It's quite a goofy, cardboard-y movie. But Argento, yea. When I got the part, I researched and I started watching more. I always had a fascination with vampires and I think in the movie—cut me off, I talk too much.
MESQUIDA: You want me to cut you off? [Laughs]
DE LA BAUME: Apart from being an homage to all those horror movies from the 60s and 70s, there's also a way of acting in that era and the intensity, that she likes. So, for example she made us watch L'IMPORTANT C'EST D'AIMER ( THAT MOST IMPORTANT THING: LOVE), the Zulawski movie, and I think it's also that style of not being afraid to really feel extremely deeply, almost in a Chekhov way. More in that 60s, 70s era where they overacted.
MESQUIDA: Yeah, it wasn't only vampire movies, Zulawski was a big reference for her. Also, I watched POSSESSION right before I did the dying scene, I wanted to really get inspired by Isabelle Adjani's performance for my dying scene. Personally, it was more the 20s, because they were more theatrical and I thought that my character was very comfortable with her body and I wanted to really find this inspiration for the way they moved. It was more important, I feel.
FANG: Do you have sisters?
DE LA BAUME: Yea, I have a sister. I have two brothers and a sister.
MESQUIDA: I have a brother. I have a sister, now.
DE LA BAUME: We became sisters very fast. This movie talks about relationships between sisters and an impossible love story and the fact that it's a vampire movie allows you to make it that much more sensual, that much more romantic, that much more dramatic and plus, the homage to a certain era; all of that mixed together allows a heightened intensity of what human relationships would be.
FANG: What was the most heightened, intense scene for everyone to shoot? One that is so striking is the between the door kiss.
DE LA BAUME: This one.
MESQUIDA: And I think it was the first day. I feel like it was very early in the shoot.
DE LA BAUME: It was like, a Drama day. It was a difficult day and I think it was getting a little frustrating for Milo and I. It was a difficult scene and I think, sometimes something that's going on in real life gets completely another translation. That's what happened. I think we were so frustrated with each other that moment that it turned into a massive, like sexual tension. We got in a fight, because it was tough. It was a hard thing to do and the door was in the way. So, I think it worked out. Sometimes, to get in a state of agitation translated to something else.
MESQUIDA: I had a lot of fun doing all these scenes, like pulling the skin out of the guy. All these things were really fun to me. What I really worked on, and what was very important to me, was the relationship between the two sisters, because they hate each other and I didn't want it to be too—I wanted something special. I think because we got along so well, Josephine and I, I think it was easier to—I mean, they have to feel like sisters, it's not like friends fighting. It was very important, and when the relationship is so bad for two characters, just fighting the whole movie, it would be very easy to fall into the thing that you're not showing any strong feelings between the two. That was very important, for me to bring that.
DE LA BAUME: I think you can feel the chemistry.
FANG: There had to be some sort of love and affection between the two, even though they were just constantly at each other's throats.
DE LA BAUME: I think there was one scene that was taken out from the movie, which we liked. [To Roxane Mesquida] Remember the scene on the bed where they have a moment?
Originally, there was a moment, so even more now that moment is not there, it was important that there was an underlying tenderness for each other because it happened to them at the same time. They became vampires at the same time. They grew up together and at the ending credits, you actually see them as kids and see that they were friendly with each other at some point.
MESQUIDA: I agree, I think naturally we fell in love with each other and became sisters very fast. So, it was important and easy to work together.
DE LA BAUME: I think you feel it even when she's angry. They also envy each other, in a way. Djuna is not what Mimi is, and the same. They envy what each other have. They don't just hate each other. They kind of wish they had what the other one has.
MESQUIDA: I like to think that maybe they are not sisters, but they are two sides of the same person. Maybe she doesn't have a sister and everything I do is what Djuna is fantasizing.
DE LA BAUME: There's a bit of that, I think. They're kind of a mirror to each other. Djuna thinks she is the good one, but really she ends up turning someone into a vampire. And Mimi is the bad one, but she wants to be loved. She envies Djuna for finding someone. They're not so different at the end of the day.
FANG: Part of the reason the door scene is so integral is that as the movie goes on, many scenes are like that. You can't keep kissing through a door, and I feel like at the end, they make that decision of having to let all of the baggage go. Do you think you can negotiate having a constant conflict with someone, or must you let it go to move on and become something new?
MESQUIDA: That's really hard. I see it when you have friends when you're a kid. It's often very hard when you become adults. Sometimes you just don't get along with them anymore and you struggle because you want to keep this relationship working, but it doesn't really work anymore. I think in life you have to let it go sometimes.
DE LA BAUME: It takes courage. Then, there's also a difference when it's friends, I mean friends can be like family, but when they're childhood friends there's almost a sense of responsibility towards each other. It's the same with family. You can not get along with your dad or your mom, but somehow, it's always going to be inside you. You're made of them. It's tricky. I'm not very good at letting go. I like to work it out better. I think that's more with family or really close friends. The older you get, you can't keep everyone. It just adds up to too much.
MESQUIDA: But when you want to be a good friend, you can't have a thousand friends.
FANG: Roxane, you mention being inspired by Isabelle Adjani and you seem to have a taste for weirder, more provocative work. Can you see yourself being in a film where you're at that kind of frenzied height?
MESQUIDA: That's attractive, but the problem is what makes me want to do a movie is more the director. I don't think in RUBBER, my character is very interesting, but I wanted to work with Quentin Dupieux. I'm being mean, "My character sucks." I'm just kidding. But it wasn't challenging. I think it was really cool, and I was a huge fan of his music and I've seen his short movies and everything, and I thought he was a very interesting person to work with. It's like KABOOM, when Gregg Araki sent me the script and he was like, "I want you to be Laura." It was like, "I don't even want to read the script, I just want to work with you. I don't really care what you are asking me to do." So, it's attractive, but it can't be only the character.

The Hairforce
"The Hairforce is just a genius business"
We launched in the summer of 2006, inspired by 2 facts – the nit and head lice treatment market is worth in excess of £30 million in this country but significantly the head lice products we were all spending our money on were increasingly ineffective.
A lot of time, money and energy down the drain to no effect.
There had to be an alternative that could actually deliver a solid, guaranteed result and gave people real peace of mind. Something that was honest, transparent and supportive. So The Hairforce – Lice Assassins was born – a simple solution to a big problem. A service which takes the stress and hard work off your hands, and just simply shuts the infestation down for you – effectively, naturally, safely – without a chemical, pesticide or product in sight.
We made it glamorous and fun, relaxed and spa-like – deliberately the opposite to what you'd expect around nits and head lice – to rid the issue of the stigma and restore the client.
The idea and the process we developed was thoroughly researched and tested so we knew we could consistently deliver to our 100% guaranteed promise. Likewise when we took possession of the revolutionary controlled heated air device we thoroughly tested and trialed it to completely understand how it delivered.
Not only do we bring an ethical solution to a real problem, we also operate a powerful social employment model. We are about bringing women back into the workplace by offering them socially important part time work that is truly flexible.
Right from the beginning we have had the support of some outstanding people and organizations:
"The most creative, relevant, and innovative business out there. This is where the future is – services people really need and that really work, rather than yet another product that disappoints and doesn't deliver. This business is visionary and will transform family life. This is a breakthrough answer."
"A brilliant idea. We used to dream of something like this."
"A star to watch"
"The Hairforce is the perfect team for shutting down stubborn head lice cases, giving peace of mind to people who have struggled with this problem for way too long."
And we consistently get great coverage in the news.

Like, a few days left of april? is that even possible?
this month has passed by too fast.
i never know what to say about 'months'.
"oh, good month" just sounds too cliche.
i suppose labeling this month as "super-natural" is accurate.
it was really 'beyond the normal'!
Freshwind '09: check.
starting fresh with my Daddy in heaven: check.
The Rescue, Toronto: check.
ahhh...the rescue.
last night was just so moving.
100 cities, 10 countries, 1 movement.
Invisible Children's THE RESCUE.
thousands around the world gathered yesterday - April 25th, 2009 - to stand against one of the longest running wars in africa, to bring to the light the LRA (Joseph Kony's army), and to prove to the world that the 90% who are abducted child soldiers are people too whom we care for, love, and want to see rescued.
thousands around the world chose to 'abduct' themselves for the night until they were 'rescued'.
media and an influential leader is needed in order to be rescued.
Toronto was one of those cities; at Queen's Park.
under the rain and thunderstorms, hundreds showed their support for a greater cause than ourselves.
it was truly amazing and humbling to know that young and old stand as one to bring change to a continent so distant and unknown.
children, stay strong, for soon, you will be back home!
(currently, there are still 12 cities to be rescued - STAY STRONG.)
i am so excited to see where this movement will lead, for this is just the beginning.
thank you invisible children, for caring.
God - you are really all for justice. and it can only be a shame to ourselves for not taking part
against what breaks your heart.
on a side note - switchfoot is in town june 20th! see you guys there. :)
also, i will be turning the big 1 9 in a week! quite the big step.
and i am currently working on a small freshwind video, as well as the next youtube video blog.
well that is all for tonight, it is late and i am to rest :)
love to all.

How Wolves Change Rivers
By singing to the moon, when the beavers move in, by the growing of trees, when the soil resists the rain, when the sky rubs its belly on the leaves, by singing to the wind, by killing the deer, by moving them on from the valleys, by the birds coming back to the trees, by singing to the water, with the return of the fish, with the great ambition of beavers, with the return of bears moving across the land like dry ships, by an abundance of berries, by the bear reaching and pulling down branches, by the green coming back, by the green coming back, by the steadiness of soil, by the deer leaving the valley and the gorges, by the aspen growing, by the cottonwood growing, by the willow growing, by the songbirds singing to the trees, by the beavers coming back to love the trees, by the absence of coyotes and the abundance of rabbits, by the bald eagle and the raven who arrive to minister to the dead, by the glove of a weasel and the burn of the fox, by the gathering of pools, the holding together of the river bank by the trees, by the river finding its spine once again.

Ash Dieback Disease
Help identify the spread of the disease.
Too little too late? That is the question. Have the Powers That Be been a bit slow off the mark to do something about the spread of this disease? The Chalara Fraxinea Fungus appears to be spreading throughout the South of England. The BBC reports that 100,000 trees have now been destroyed to try and prevent the spread of the disease; they also report that 90% of the Ash population of Denmark has been killed by this disease! As clearly this would not have just happened over night, why were measures not put in place long before now to prevent the spread of the disease to the UK?.
We all need to help monitor the local Ash population for signs of this disease. A mobile App has been launched to try and map the spread of the disease. The Ashtag App allows the user to upload pictures and report possible sightings. This information is then passed onto the Forestry Commission.
For more info on what to look for, check out http://www.forestry.gov.uk/ashdieback.
Let's all keep our eyes open for this one!

Intergenerational Dialogue Process™
& Homeland Security
Six Reasons to Conduct an Intergenerational Dialogue on Homeland Security
Here are six reasons to include the five living generations, who either live or work in your community, in an Intergenerational Dialogue process on Homeland Security:
1. People of all ages are asking, "What can I do to help at this time." If you begin thinking about homeland security across all five generations, you will have the largest pool of resources to choose from in making your city or town safer and more secure.
2. Generational organizing is the most inclusive strategy for having a diverse Dialogue. After all, everyone is a member of a generation! Use the five generations as a base from which to start your Dialogue planning, then invite representatives in your community, from every walk of life. Your goal for this Dialogue should be to make the evening the most diverse meeting anyone in the community has ever attended.
3. You need the participation of all five generations to effectively prepare for homeland security. Each generation brings specific gifts and talents to your efforts. Young people "know" the streets better than most older people. Older generations understand the importance of phone trees and crime watch. Younger adults often serve as police and fire fighters. By including all generations, you will add value to local preparedness planning.
4. Different generations also respond differently to public information media. The older generations respond better to print and radio; Boomers better to television and electronic media; and younger generations respond better to the Internet and more interactive media. You need to include all the generations in local security planning so you can find out the best ways to communicate with them in the event of an emergency.
5. The Al-Qaida terrorist training manual instructs would-be terrorists to find places to live where people don't know each other. These are communities where neighbors don't know or care who are their neighbors. Knowing your neighbors from all generations is perhaps the strongest and most immediate form of homeland security every city can initiate.
6. One of the primary goals of terrorism is to make people feel isolated and afraid. A robust effort to include all the generations in planning, training, and other homeland security efforts, will help your community feel more connected. One of your homeland security goals should be that nobody in your city should feel isolated or alone in these difficult times. When people feel that way, the terrorists have won.
We have developed a Tool Kit to provide communities with complete step-by-step directions for how you can organize a Homeland Security Intergenerational Dialogue in your community.
The Intergenerational Dialogue Toolkit contains:
• An introduction to the process
• How to get ready for the Dialogue
• Invitation Process - How do you select participants and get them to come?
• Things to do before the evening of the Dialogue
• How to conduct the Dialogue
• Facilitator's Script for conducting the Dialogue
• Things to think about before you begin
• Sample Intergenerational Dialogue Agenda
• Diagram of the Circle of Generations
• How to develop Generational Questions
• How to facilitate small group discussion and reports from small groups
• Suggested Follow-up Activities and Plans
• Appendix of scripts and letters of invitation, and sample forms, flyers, and agendas.
The Tool Kit is extremely cost effective
The Tool Kit comes to you electronically in a PDF format for $150 (for communities of 50,000 or fewer) or $250 (for communities above 50,000.) We strongly recommend that that you use this process in neighborhoods or sub-divisions of your city with populations of 25,000 or less. If you would also like a hard copy of the Tool Kit in color (the same document you will receive on-line) there will be an additional cost of $35 plus $6.95 shipping and handling (plus 7.275% Minnesota tax for MN residents). We take all major credit cards. After your purchase, you can make as many copies of the Kit as you need for your city or town. The Tool Kit is NOT available in Our Products online shop but IS available by contacting us at email@example.com
For additional fees, Dr. James Gambone is available on a limited basis to consult with you and facilitate your Homeland Security Dialogue, if you prefer to not do it yourself.
If you have any questions, please call 1-952-472-3379 or e-mail to: email@example.com

"The making of a home seems to be increasingly thought of as a chore that is managed through common catalog offerings and compulsive purchases informed by immediate need." – Darryl Carter
In interior design school, we learned how to put together rooms all at once. Whether we were creating mood boards to present to our professors or sending our 3-D renderings to the cloud, there was always an emphasis on selecting all of your materials, finishes, color harmonies, furniture pieces and furnishings simultaneously.
On the one hand, designing a room in this way gives you a sense of cohesion. On the other hand, it can feel rushed and forced. What if we didn't have to purchase everything for a space within a matter of weeks or months? What if we could have a collected home?
"Forgo the immediate, and embrace the lasting" – Darryl Carter
In his book, "The Collected Home", Top 100 AD designer and Milling Road by Baker furniture designer Darryl Carter teaches us how to embrace the process of collecting a home. This process can take years as we allow each of the objects in our home to speak to us and truly represent us.
Carter welcomes us into every aspect of his home, and the home of his clients, through thoughtfully written words and perfectly lit photography. As he explains his instinctual way of decorating a home, we get the sense that we too should be collecting our homes through special mementos, artisanal pieces, DIY reinvention and one of a kind antique finds.
Collecting a home is clearly a paradigm shift, but Carter effortlessly guides us through the journey in this 208 page-turner. Whether we are considering the hinges on our doors, the architectural envelope (as he refers to it) or the shutters on our windows, Carter leaves no decision to chance. Even though he doesn't rush the design process, make no mistake about it – he designs from a very present, chronological and organized place.
Carter isn't just one to talk the talk (the design talk that is); he is committed to making exquisite design accessible to all. This summer, Milling Road at Baker Furniture launched Carter's stunning line of furniture and accessories. Now you really have no excuse to get it together.
If you don't have a copy of "The Collected Home," you need to order one today. Every page and image in this book contains a wealth of information from one of the greatest designers of our time.

As the Supreme Court struggled on Monday to deal with the legal complexities of Texas's redistricting efforts, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summed up the court's quandary:
"So how do we decide," he asked, between "two wrong choices?"
More than an hour of oral arguments revealed that there might be even more wrong choices. But compromise was elusive, and the deadline is close.
The state says it needs a decision by Feb. 1 to hold primary elections April 3. Even that date is pushed back from the state's original timetable.
There's no doubting the importance of the decision: Texas's booming population means four new congressional seats for the state. The electoral maps will have a big impact on which party claims the seats, and perhaps even which party controls the House of Representatives.
It is also of considerable importance to the state's Hispanics, who account for nearly two-thirds of the state's population growth and want to play a bigger role in Texas politics.
But the legal battle over redistricting is being played out in three courts with different missions, and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wondered whether Texas should stand down for a bit.
"Texas has a very early primary," Alito said. "Some states have them for congressional races in the fall, and the latest presidential primary I think is at the end of June.
"So why can't this all be pushed back, and wouldn't that eliminate a lot of the problems that we are grappling with in this case?"
Former Bush administration solicitor general Paul D. Clement, who is representing the Republican-controlled legislature and the redistricting plan it drew, told Alito that of course that was possible, but the timing of primaries is a decision usually left to states.
The maps drawn by the state's Republican-dominated legislature were signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry (R). But because of past discrimination, Texas is one of the states covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. That means its electoral laws cannot take effect until they are "pre-cleared" — approved by the Justice Department or a panel of federal judges in Washington.
Texas chose to go the judicial route, but a three-judge panel in Washington found problems and refused to quickly approve the plans. It has scheduled a trial for later this month.
In the meantime, a second three-judge panel in San Antonio drew a new plan, since the current electoral map cannot be used — it would violate "one-man, one-vote" standards because of the population growth.
Texas has asked the Supreme Court to keep that plan from taking effect, even on an interim basis. The judges did not base their work on the plan approved by the legislature, Clement said.
But Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the court could not use even as a guide a plan that had not been pre-cleared. "Doesn't that turn Section 5 on its head?" she asked. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan had similar concerns.
Justice Antonin Scalia seemed open to allowing the legislatively drawn plan to be used on an interim basis for the 2012 election. But other justices didn't seem to support that position.
The Obama administration told the justices that the better option was to allow the use of the judicially drawn plan on an interim basis, even though it thought the court had not fully justified its decisions.
But Roberts told Deputy Solicitor General Sri Srinivasan that sending the maps back for more information seemed like a waste of time "when we are all under the gun of very strict time limitations."
Kagan wondered whether the justices could direct the Texas court to start its deliberations with the legislatively drawn plans, but put the burden on Texas to prove that they met constitutional standards, rather than on the minority challengers to prove that they did not.
There are three cases in Perry v. Perez.

Schools in Kwahu-Abene in the Eastern Region have been closed down following violent chieftaincy clashes in the area Monday, Joy News has gathered.
This comes after the enskinment of former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Professor Agyemang Badu Akosa as the new Kwahu-Abene chief, degenerated into clashes.
One of the factions led by the Abetifi chief, Nana Acheamfuor Asiedu Agyemang opposed the enstoolment of the politician, saying it was done illegally.
The Abetifi chief who also doubles as the acting Kwahumanhene said at a news conference, the kingmakers in the area had no knowledge about the installation process.
He said custom requires anyone who wants to become a chief to do so using the right process but Professor Akosa didn't use the right process.
The ceremony degenerated into clashes as the youth supporting the Abetifi chief stormed the installation ground to protest. They fought with the youth supporting Professor Akosa.
[M] Abetifi chief, Nana Acheamfuor Asiedu Agyemang
Scores of residents were injured in the process and properties worth thousands of cedis were destroyed in the clashes. No death was recorded.
Joy News' Eastern Regional Correspondent, Edwin Kofi Siaw reports more residents of Abene have fled the town for fear of reprisal attacks.
The reporter said the residents who have been left behind have refused to let their children out because of a group that is terrorising residents.
Eastern Regional Police PRO, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh
But Eastern Regional Police PRO, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh refuted claims there is a group fomenting mayhem in the community.
He told Israel Laryea on Joy FM's Midday News Thursday, the police command has dispatched more personnel into the area to arrest anyone terrorising residents.
As a result, he said, the "Kwahu-Abene township is very calm."

text: Read Kamaljeet's experience Kamaljeet is 39 and from Pakistan and speaks little English. She had breast cancer and needed an operation. Kamaljeet made her decision about which operation to have and was told this would be conveyed to the surgeon prior to her operation. She did not see her surgeon on the day of the operation and was asked for consent whilst in theatre, against Trust Policy, just before being anaesthetised. Following the operation Kamaljeet realised that her preferred procedure had not been carried out, which caused her great distress. Kamaljeet was able to contact us and by using language line and translated materials we were able to provide information about the NHS complaints procedure. We were able to provide Kamaljeet with the support of a complaints advocate who also spoke her language. We supported Kamaljeet to attend a local resolution meeting with the consultant surgeon who was dismissive and could not clarify the events or answer her questions. At Kamaljeet's request we helped her take her complaint to the Trust's Chief Executive who promised to look into her complaint. As a result of Kamaljeet's complaint a number of actions have been taken by the Trust.

Goal for May: to perform 2nd Law with quality at some open mic at least once.
Afternoon practiced ~1hr: Bach in DADGAD: Bourree and Invention #4, Kadourimdou, Jigs, Murtach McKann. Part 1 of Bourree is nicely fitted to DADGAD - I will attempt two transcription projects within the next week or two:
- Invention #4 tab in DADGAD for both parts
- Bourree (at least 1st part) tab in DADGAD
In an attempt to eliminate some personal waste and increase my energy for practice/play, I have begun to investigate the Dvorak keyboard configuration. This was inspired by a particularly lucid moment during which I realized that much more than half of the keystrokes I had just used to type a line of code where typed by my left hand! This could explain why my left (fretting) hand has been very prone to injury during periods of coincident intense computer/guitar use.

Shanghai Tower Update: Lighting the Building and Preparing it for Occupancy
The Shanghai Tower Image © Gensler
NOTE: This post has been updated to include more current information on the Shanghai Tower.
Despite of challenges posed by Shanghai's unpredictable weather and the logistical hurdles inherent to building super-tall structures, the Shanghai Tower is almost complete. It's now looking like the Tower's tenants will start to fit out their spaces in the coming spring and summer, pending permitting approvals and other reviews. The design and construction team's next mission: finalize the site, complete the interior finishes, and commission all of the building's special features, such as the wind turbines, rainwater collection systems throughout the structure, and seasonal exterior lighting elements.

Colorado Yurt Company Partners with Community Options
"Oh, it's you again."
When my friend Daniel says this to me, it's always accompanied by a huge smile. Sometimes he also calls me "Grandma", Daniel's idea of a friendly insult. Then, he'll ask when I'm going to come watch him bowl.
Robbie tells me how he's going to start playing basketball on the Special Olympics team, if his knee feels better. But first, he is wrestling, and he shows off the vinyl and plastic version of a championship wrestling belt he has over his shoulder.
These guys are my muscles.
When I am unloading boxes of catalogs, I ask "Can I get some muscles?" The boxes are pretty heavy, and I need assistance getting them into the workshop. Daniel and Robbie are right there to lift them out of my car.
The workshop is the Day Program (Silver Mountain Enterprises), a program of Community Options. Over the years, Silver Mountain's workshop has done work ranging from sorting feathers for a fly fishing company to cutting shapes for a craft company. The program also places people at different businesses in the community, such as restaurants and retailers for competitive employment.
Colorado Yurt Company began working with the developmentally-disabled adults at Silver Mountain Enterprises over 20 years ago.
Our first employee from Community Options was Joann. When the shop was in Ridgway, she rode the Greyhound bus from Montrose every day to work at our company. Then her family moved to Denver. A few years later, she saw Dan and Emma at an event with six big tipis. Joann was so excited, she actually spoke for the first time in years.
These days we send out catalogs and price lists every two weeks or so, and we need them to be collated and put into mailing envelopes. As our demand for catalogs grew beyond what our office staff could handle, we hired Silver Mountain Enterprises to help us out.
For Colorado Yurt Company, it's been such a great fit. The work is always well done and on time. They deliver the completed envelopes to us, or sometimes they stop by our office for supplies. We appreciate all they do, and we are contributing to their goals.
The muscles are just a bonus.

New Mexico Civil Rights Lawyer
We give our police a great deal of power and authority so that they can carry out their mission to "serve and protect" us. The taxpayers pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to select and train qualified officers and we equip them with badges, body armor and weapons of violence: guns, batons, pepper spray and Tasers. Most officers respect that awesome power and do not abuse the trust we place in them. All too often though, some officers go too far and injure the very people they are sworn to serve and protect. Our Founding Fathers knew all too well the abuses of official power and they included in our Constitution a "Bill of Rights" – protections for citizens when agents from the government go too far. If you or a loved one had your civil rights violated by the police you may be entitled to monetary damages for the injuries you have received at the hands of a rogue police officer. Jeff Lahann has spent more than two decades working with and training police officers; he has also prevailed in a number of lawsuits against the police when they do wrong. You will pay no upfront fees when you retain The Lahann Law Firm – our fee will be collected only if we are successful in obtaining a monetary award for your pain, suffering, emotional distress and lost income as a result of police misconduct.Violation of civil rights may occur in a variety of ways, but most fall into the categories below:
Excessive Force
Police are authorized to use only that amount of force that is "reasonably necessary" to effect an arrest, but all too often officers let their anger and adrenaline overtake them and they go too far when arresting a citizen. Type in "excessive force" on YouTube and hundreds of results show officers acting unreasonably and cruelly when arresting citizens. At the bottom of this page we have included a few examples of clearly excessive force used by police officers throughout the country.
Malicious Prosecution and False Arrest
Often times the police overcharge or "throw the book" at citizens and charge crimes when no probable cause exists. If your case was dismissed or you were found not guilty at trial and you were factually innocent of the charges, you may be entitled to compensation for false arrest or malicious prosecution.
Taser Abuse
Police agencies will tell you that Taser guns are a "safe" alternative to other types of force. Tasers are not safe at all: there are many recorded cases of cardiac arrest, seizures, and even deaths following an officer's use of a Taser on a citizen. If you have been the victim of a Taser weapon, you should consult with a civil rights attorney to help determine if you have a valid lawsuit against the officer or his department.
Unlawful Search & Seizure
The Fourth Amendment states that citizens are to be secure from unlawful search and seizure of their persons and property. This fundamental civil right guards you against being pulled over or detained by police officers unless they have probable cause to suspect that you have committed a crime, or if there is a warrant out for your arrest.
Wrongful Death
When police make an unjustified use of lethal force or cause an accident through negligence, the victim's family members have a right to bring a wrongful death claim to seek a settlement. No amount of money can compensate you for your loss, but you can at least seek justice and secure damages against the officer who killed your loved one.
Your Rights to Compensation
Title 42, Section 1983 of the United States Code and other laws provide for the rights of the injured to sue for compensation. If you suffered any type of abuse or violation of your civil rights at the hands of a police officer, you are entitled to hold the officer liable for damages. Working with an experienced attorney can greatly increase your chances of securing the compensation you deserve.
Due Process Violation
Both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution contain a sentence which refers to due process. No governmental authority has the power to deprive you of "life, liberty or property without the due process of law." If your right to due process was violated in any way, you may be able to remedy the situation by filing a civil lawsuit against the individual or agency that wronged you. Contact a New Mexico civil rights attorney for support and dedicated representation when your rights have been violated and you want to secure compensation.

Thirumooler mathematics and science about seed of life
You may know the algeebra formula (a+b)² = a²+b²+2ab
lets see the mathematics of thirumooler
"kanakarinthaarkkandri kaanavonaathu
kanakarinthaark kandri kaikoodaak kaatchi"
if you see the meaning of above song you can understand the truth about panchachara we said before
Lets see the calculation of seevan (soul) said by thirumooler
"vinduvum naathamum okka vizhunthidil
vinduvum naathamum mokka viraiya thaam
vinthir kurainthidu naathamezhuinthidil
vinthuvai enmadi kondathu veesamey"
That is : If semen and its counter part in woman are equal in quantity
they form the seed of life. to calculate the amount of "naatham"-ie.The counter part of
arrived at the formula(from his calculation) 1/16/8 = 1/16 * 1/8.
As said above 1/16 * 1/8 is volume of naatha created from semen as according to
thirumooler half is seed in that
"virinthathu utkatta ettetumaagil" that is 1/16 * 1/8 * (8)² its thirumooler calculation
According to that statement naatha is half of semen (1/2).
1/16 * 1/8 * (8)² = 1/16 * 1/8 * 8 * 8 = 1/2
as said above thirumooler calculation ratio 1/2 semen + 1/2 naatha = one seed forms
This is the thirumooler naatha seed formula.
Also he describes on another song:
"Meviya seevan enbathu solidil
kovin mayirondru noorudan koorittu
meviya kooruthu vayiramaanaal
aaviyin kooru nooraayirath thondrey"
That is to investigate the shape of life
Divide one hair of the cow into a
hundred parts ie. first division.
to be divided by 100 ie. 1/1*100
further dividing the above quantity by 1000 we have (1/1*100)/100
i.e 1/100000
As per first song we have seen the fraction of 1/6
now we have seen that 1/16 = 1/100000
lets now see how it expands as eight multiple table
Lets see how much 1/100000 are in 1/16
and keep that value as 'X'
that is X = 100000/16 = 6250
second thing we seen above is (1/16*1/8) 8*8 = 1/2
this 1/2 = 6250 * X = 1/2
that is X = 1/2 * 1/6250 =1/12500
finally 12500 * X = 100000
that is X = 100000/12500 = 8
that is the thirumooler song importance about eight where he describes about 8
this is Agaram. seemen eight times is Ugaram.
that is the Agara-Ugara Philosohpy
This is what agamas and vedhas describes
The value of '1' follows
i) Taken on one unit
ii) Divide one hair of cow into 100 parts
iii) If divided its 1000 that is (2)²(divide the above quantity)
iv) We have [1/1000] / 1*100
1/10000 i.e [2(2)²]
Total value =2(2)²*(2)²*2*1 = 8*8 or 8²
From this thirumooler viewed the size of seevan (soul) below follows:
Absolute ie 1/1000000 or .00001
According to that five elements volumes and measure is mention below:
No Earth Water Fire Air Ether Total
1 .0000009 .00000108 .00000072 .00000054 .00000036 .0000036
2 .0000009 .00000108 .00000072 .00000054 .00000036 .0000036
3 .00000045 .00000054 .00000036 .00000027 .00000018 .0000018
4 .000000225 .00000027 .00000018 .000000135 .00000009 .0000009
5 .000000025 .00000003 .00000002 .000000015 .00000001 .0000001
.0000025 .000003 .000002 .0000015 .000001 .00001
As per thirumooler song "meviya seevan vadivathu sollil" described seed of life
and its measurement you can check from that above table.
see how wonderfull and accurate he have found the science and calculation
with his gnana.Even its challenge for today scientist.
Absolute god's three are main importants mixes giving to human from single breath
those three are surya kala , chandra kala and agni kala those are measured from its rays.
Old greeks and romanians belived that there are only four element in entire universe
they are Earth, Fire, Air, And Water. Before they find out our thirumooler and other
siddhars had written about fifth element that is 'ether' includes with earth, water, air and fire.
Lets see about surya kala , chandra kala and agni kala which thirumooler written on his 2nd chapter
1. agni kala is = shushma naadi that is naadi which reaches eyebrow point
2. surya kala is = pingala naadi that is naadi which runs on right nostril breath
3. Chandra kala is = eda naadi that is left nostril breath
suraya naadi breath out 16 kalas
chandira naadi breath out 12 kalas
shushma naadi breath out 8 kalas.
Adiyaarku adiyen (i am servitor to all the shiva servitor)
4)Confluence of karma and life-All deeds of souls will be rewarded/punished
5)salvation(Mukthi)-when the soul realise "pathi", it attains salvation
6)Has eight characteristics- self existence, essential purity,intuitive wisdom, infinite intelligence, essential freedom from all bonds,infinite grace, infinite enjoyment, omnipotence.
Souls are a distinct real entity
Souls are also eternal like pathi but quite diffrent
Souls are normally tied by pasam (the bondage)
Souls can be liberated only with pathi's help
Souls will be never be destroyed - even while the entire universe is destroyed.
Souls are always (until after salvation) involved in birth-death -birth cycle
All living things including plants and animals have souls
Tri(3) malams(bondage)
1) anava - an inherent darkness attached to each soul
2) kanma - deeds and their result
3) maaya - a pure form of energy from which "pathi" creates this universe (that includes our bodies)
When soul has only 'anava', its said to be in a 'unitary' (kvala avathai) state
When soul has all three 'malas' its in ordinary state( sakala avathai)
When soul get rid of all three 'malas', it attains a pure state (suddha avathai)
This is non sentient energy.
With this god creates the world.
Maya transforms as the bodies of the living beins.
Hence, the whole world is reffered to as 'mayakaryam'
Maya helps life like a lamp.
Life gets exposed to knowledge through body and the worldly association.
Therefore, Its called 'om thalai" by sambandhar.
"Maya yanthira thanu" - sivagnana bodham.
Saiva siddhantham speaks highly of maaya.
God creates words with suddha maaya.
With asuddha maaya, siva creates the time and other rules.
Prakriti maaya is used to create the material world (universe)
Pathi pasu and paasam are three real eternal entities.
Pasu and pasam are not created by god, but controlled by him.
pasu (soul) is always under bondage.
pathi perfroms five (not three) duties to provide salvation.
Pathi ( siva) is pure knowledge and infinite love.

Conor McKee murder update, North Belfast
Police today disclosed that 31 year old north Belfast murder victim Conor McKee had been shot a number of times.
Mr McKee was found dead at his Glenpark Street home last Thursday night by his mother.
The officer leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Justyn Galloway, said the investigation was making progress: "We have had a very positive response from Conor's friends who have come forward with information after our appeal last week. I want to thank them for their co-operation.
"We also appealed to a person who phoned police in the early hours of last Friday morning with information about the murder to call back. That person has yet to do so. I would appeal to them to contact us.
"Our enquiries in the local community have established that Conor was seen in the area of Rosapenna Street and Oldpark Road at 6pm last Thursday evening. We believe he was shot in his home at Glenpark Street at 6.15pm.
"I am appealing to anyone who saw Conor walking from the Oldpark area back to Glenpark Street between 6pm and 6.15pm, either on his own or with someone, to contact us.
"Anyone with information can contact detectives at Musgrave police station on the non-emergency 101 number or provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Maybe that's the primary value of on-line writing, which was implied in the above posts? You're a real person who really does something - and if they find you, it's because you're doing something of mutual interest with synergistic results.

Employee Testimonials
Tim Wolfe
Managing Director
MBA, Harvard University
"Entrepreneurial Environment"
When I initially made the decision to leave Goldman Sachs for FT Partners, the firm was still in its initial development stage. FT Partners offered me the ability to work in an entrepreneurial environment, to help build a firm from the ground up and to get much more hands on investment banking experience. This was invaluable for my career development and confidence as an investment banker.
The direction the firm is heading is great. We continue to bring on great people, develop them and give them a great experience and deliver superior results to our clients. We like our relatively small size as it allows us to be focused and provide a high touch, high value-add product to our clients.
After helping guide the firm through its initial development and growth, I decided to attend business school. Steve was supportive of my decision and even wrote one of my recommendation letters; I also received several recommendation letters from FT Partners clients whose deals I had helped execute. After completing the MBA program at Harvard University, the decision to come back to FT Partners was twofold. First, I knew I would be able to really accelerate my career and hit the ground running given I was so familiar with the environment and team. It was exciting to see where the firm had been and where it was going and I wanted to be a part of it. Second, the entrepreneurial environment allowed me to continue to invest in helping to build and grow the firm. In so doing, I hoped that I would be able to further develop my career and skillset as an investment banker.
The combination of working with great clients and a great team that lead to continuing successes keeps me going. It has been great to see the firm achieve success in the highly competitive world of investment banking and build a nice brand, recognized for its high quality work and advice. It has been a lot of hard work, but it's been a lot of fun, too.
Investing in FT Partners as a career allows you to get behind the long term vision of the firm and realize that your contributions, not only in executing transactions for clients, but also in what you do for the firm itself, are going to yield long term benefit from a personal, financial and career perspective.

Of the countless tracks that make it to the airwaves each week at Red Light Radio, some leave a more lasting impression than others. From month to month, enjoy a sampling of favorite tracks heard on air, courtesy of the team at RLR. September's picks include music by The Mystic Jungle Tribe, Hellboii, Hoodoo Fushimi and more.
Dominik's Pick: The Mystic Jungle Tribe – "Jupiter And Callisto" (2017)
Groovy and smooth – layered synths, topped with nice flutes and all-around percussions. When Quartet entered the studio this afternoon, I was immediately caught by this great introduction of his set. The track itself was just released one month ago by Periodica records from Naples and is now available through their fellow Italians from Bordello a Parigi in Amsterdam. Just close the curtains, switch off the lights, grab your headphones and you'll hear what I mean.
Lien's Pick: William Gum-Boot & Lawrence Wiffin – "Anesthésie Penthotal" (1977)
For this month's staff pick I chose a track actually played in the latest Strange Sounds From Beyond radio show by McBain. Since I'm almost never at the studio during the weekends I had to use my Shazam app to find it. For me this is the perfect combination of guitar, percussion and haunting synths – this golden combo gives the track a mysteriousness that leaves me longing for more.
Boris's Pick: Hellboii – "Untitled" (2017)
My man Monocorpse came over to do a show at RLR recently and he really hates it when electronic music releases advertised as being dark and fucked up don't live up to his expectations or just feel too forced. For his show he'd made a selection of excellent black metal and dark/fucked-up electronic music and among those records was a 12" by Hellboii. It's truly fucked-up acidic electronics recorded live in the Radio Tonka Studio in Den Haag; basically a guy losing it COMPLETELY with all this hardware within reach. Excellent animal style noise! Released by Guy Tavares' Panzerkreuz imprint. Look up the liner notes of the record if you're still not convinced!
Orpheu's Pick: Ennanga Vision – "All This Blue" (2017)
DJ Marcelle's name has been brought to my attention by various people whose musical taste I really appreciate. This one Thursday I walked into the studio when she was doing her first resident show on RLR and I was convinced right away! This was the first track I heard her play but the whole show was killer!!!
Sara's Pick: Hoodoo Fushimi – "Furarete Nambo" (1987)
Originally released in 1987, this track was reissued for the first time on In Praise of Mitochondria, a 2xLP compilation from Left Ear Records. I discovered it thanks to DJ Que Sakamoto who played it last week during his show.
I asked him for the title; instead he told me the price of the record on Discogs: in the ballpark of €400. Too late, I was already in love with it. I was immediately captured by the hybrid essence of this song: a mix of electronic, hip-hop, funk and rock.
The original Japanese title フラれてナンボ means "It's Ok to Get Dumped". It doesn't take itself too seriously; it's funny and metamorphic with the ornament of synth and electronic sounds, enriched by a whimsical collage of voices.
This is how I like to imagine the 80s in Japan: colorful, lively and experimental.
Hugo's Pick: Luminance – "No Second Act" (2015)
Had to travel all the way to Tel Aviv to discover this artist from Brussels. The broadcasts we did with Teder.fm out there with local labels like Malka Tuti & Fortuna, and DJs like Anna Haleta & Alek Lee were killer; check it out.
Luminance's "No Second Act" was played there by TV.OUT. A one-man act, Luminance is known for lots of good, danceable gothic electronic body tracks, ha. Figured out his live act looks and sounds really good as well; when I saw him, he was surrounded by synths and a microphone between lots of candles. He should play a RLR party/stage soon!
