"This is the best jacket I've ever owned" 04/19/13
This is a great combination of warmth and breathability, making it perfect for both warmer and colder weather. I own a Precip, which is a great rain jacket, but if it's at all warm, I end up sweating a lot! The ROM isn't as rain-proof, but it's so breathable that I can wear it without sweating and feeling, yet it's warm and stops anything short of a hurricane. I'm 5'10" and 165, and the medium is plenty big. It's just a bit on the big side, which means I can put 2-3 layers on under it, and get super warm. Oh, and I bought the gray/cinder one, and I think I look like Desmond Miles from Assassin's Creed--which is kinda cool too :)
"Update to my previous review" 03/18/13
Just got back from a week long ski trip in Steamboat. Rocked my ROM jacket all week and I love it! Had to upgrade to a large and was glad I did because I was able to fit layers underneath on those high 20s days but did not feel bulky when I just wore a T-shirt. Definitely would recommend this jacket.
"Get it. Got it? Good!" 03/05/13
I am a 5'10 male weighing around 205, but very athletic. I got the medium by accident but I am starting to realize this may have been the fit for me! It is a little snug, but I have been able to fit a sweatshirt underneath with out loosing ROM, but I did notice when I raise my hands above my head, my belly shows and the ladies start running! So that is why I think a large may have fit better.The jacket is very well made and I have worn it several times and have stayed warm. I am heading out to Colorado for some skiing and I am pretty excited to see how this jacket holds up!I would recommend everyone getting this jacket!
"Ode to my ROM" 01/28/13
O soft shell, how do I love thee?Many reasons, more than three.I love thee climbing ice,You are stretchy and o so nice.I love thee on rock,You are snug just like a sock.When it is windy, brisk, and cold,Your pockets, hood, and zipper keep me sold.Should everyone get thee, I do believe.Because a ROM is a Rare breed indeed.
"Pretty darn sweet soft shell" 12/02/12
Recently received this jacket and tested it out this morning. Conditions were not ideal, sort of a misting stuck in the clouds hike, temperatures in the mid-30's and at times on saddles winds were gusting to 60+ mph. The windstopper worked well and I stayed pretty dry and warm with just short sleeves underneath. So far no complaints whatsoever.For sizing info, I'm 6'00", 160 lbs and the medium fits perfectly.
"Perfect for its intended use." 11/17/12
What can I say? A bad a$$ jacket and the best customer service on this side of the Milky Way. Seriously, I checked. Having been a devoted REI member since 1998. I am by and large making the switch and giving this company my hard earned dough. Thanks MJ staff. Frickin awsome.
"High quality technical jacket that impresses the ladies too!" 11/05/12
It performs exactly as Marmot describes. Got DWR coating on it--keeps the rain off well unless it's an absolute downpoor, stretches when you need it too and doesn't ride up when you raise your arms. The windstopper fabric is soft and quiet when you move and makes the jacket look like some kind of athletic hoody you would wear to the gym. The hood is perfectly designed in my opinion.There are non-winstopper panels built into the sides of it that lets the wind come right in when you're not moving. I would rather the jacket be all windstopper with huge pit zips in place of these panels because they get annoying an keep this thing from being the "jacket to end all jackets" for me.
"Great jacket for many uses, met my expectations." 07/02/12
I bought this to be a softshell layer for Rainier hoping it would repel wind and light snow/rain. It did just that. We were in some heavy wind and freezing rain and all I had on was this and a light underlayer and I felt great. the zipper also covers your face which is nice. It is extremely comfortable for everyday use as well. Great jacket for someone who wants to enjoy the outdoors.
"Best softshell ever, but buy a size smaller then normal" 06/16/12
I love this soft shell because it is highly windproof and as waterproof as possible without losing elasticity. I bought it for climbing on cold or windy days. It is not warm enough for cold days when you are inactive, but it is great for 30 to 40 degrees if you are climbing or running. I normally wear a medium in most clothes, but Marmot runs big on me (athletic fit). I am 100% satisfied with this jacket and completely recommend it!
"Buy it." 02/29/12
This jacket is awesome, it has a great fit and lives up to its flattering description of a flexible, breathable, windstopper. I have several other Marmot jackets/layers but I prefer this one because of the range of motion. Bottom line, buy it, you will be glad you did!
"Sick Jacket!" 12/18/11
This jacket rocks and is a great soft shell, the jacket fits really nicely and has long sleeves which help a lot for lanky arms. The jackets made primarily out of soft shell but going up the sides to the arm pits and down the bottom parts of the arms is a stretchy and more breathable material which helps for aerobic activity. I've used it climbing, ice climbing, running and for just wearing around in general. It's a good jacket if you've got the coin I'd recommend it.
"Great all around softshell" 08/13/11
I purchased this softshell last year (in the dark green) right before the dead of winter. I've never owned anything by Marmot but so far, I have been very impressed. This is a great all around jacket. It's very breathable and isn't constricting. I'm not always a fan of jackets because of the bulkiness (especially when I'm driving). But this one is not bulky at all. It actually gives you a very trim appearance. It fits the body very nicely without being too snug. If anyone lives in New England, you'll know that we had a brutal winter last year, and this jacket held up big time. All you need to do is to wear a medium to heavy sweatshirt underneath and you'll be fine.

Turning Worries to Prayers: Philippians 4:7-9, 19
Turning Worries to Prayers: Philippians 4:7-9, 19
By: Todd HudnallPhil. 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Instead of worrying about situations we need to pray about them. This past weekend we talked about turning every worry into a prayer request. If it isn't worth praying about, it's not worth worrying about – and if we have prayed about it, we can trust God and not worry. We're also to do it with thanksgiving. Thanking God for what He has done in the past and what He will do in this situation. It's the principle of turning our back on our worry and instead worshiping and praising the Answer to our situation - God.
Phil. 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
If we have prayed and put it in His hands we are promised His peace. He is in control and well able to handle our situation. Then when the thoughts of worry come back (which they will), we have to choose what we are going to think about.
Phil. 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Instead of setting our mind on our worries, we set it on these things.
Phil. 4:9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Phil. 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Instead of worrying how our needs will be met, we trust our Heavenly Father who will meet our every need.

umm where am i suppose to put in the d3 file? in the skyrim folder or the windows/system32 folder? tell me quick please :D
Fus Ro Dah! You runned oblivion on highest settings? Skyrim only on High or Medium with annoying freezes or lags? This file is for you! You can jump from Medium to Ultra in less than 1 minute!
I was encountering lags on High settings with old .dll file, So i decided to make new one for Skyrim with big succes mostly because the most problems in Bethesda games had same issues that caused FPS drop. Currently im playing on High settings without any freezes or lags etc. Before i used this dll. my auto detect settings set game to MEDIUM quality after repleacing .dll auto detect settings set game to HIGH quality. Also my FPS went up over by 10-15 So this is really very much.
Additional informations:
This works only with Nvidia cards. It allows transparency AA so trees and grass will look much better if you have AA turned On. But i highly recommed to turn off AA and enable FXAA (Better performance)
1. Download file. 2. Make backup of your original d3d9.dll file - IMPORTANT 3. Copy d3d9.dll File to your Skyrim folder. It goes in your regular game folder where Skyrim.exe is located, not in the "data" folder with the mods or other files/folders.
If you placed .dll file in right place launcher will re-scan settings, and you will have to set them again.
Known bugs:
- Launcher Bug - d3d9.dll will change name of your Graphic Adapter in settings from (example) Nvidia GeForce9600GT to GeForce 8800 GS, This really doesn't matter. - Might crash with 2 monitors or more. - Many peoples might get crash with Crossfire or SLI enabled. - Usually (but doesn't have to) crashes with XFIRE possible fix for this - In Xfire go to Tools>options>'game' tab and click on the checkbox "Disable Xfire in game"
1. It does not change any files! Just delete .dll file you downloaded and place the old one if you maked backup of course if not you will have to download original .dll file for Skyrim or reinstall game.
WHAT TO DO WHEN non-ENB d3d9.dll-based MODS ARE ALSO USED!
Note: this works no matter ENB mods are also present or not. Examples of non-ENB d3d9.dll-based mods: Standalone SMAA, FXAA Post Process Injector.
1. Rename other d3d9.dll to, say, d3d9_other.dll
2. Edit HiAlgoBoost.ini so that the part of [PROXY] section looks as following:
EnableProxy_d3d9 = true ; Can be used to load Standalone SMAA,... ProxyLibrary_d3d9 = d3d9_other.dll
- Make sure you are running the launcher or .exe shortcut as administrator if you have crash when launching.
- This isn't lowering your Graphics.
- Some peoples asked if it will work with AA turned on? Answer: YES it will work however it works much better with FXAA (More FPS / almost the same graphics quality)
- If you don't have d3d9.dll in your game folder don't worry! Just place my .dll in game folder and if you will want to uninstall it just simply delete it.
- I highly recommend to lower Anisiotropic Filtering because it might cause freezes etc. pretty much.
- Mod might don't work on some Graphic Cards from GTX series and others.
- If you have issues, try updating your official DX runtime first from Microsoft, a quick google search for "DirectX End User Runtime" will get you what you need.
- DX is card/driver agnostic, so it should run on any card, though the particular optimization in this likely favors older nVidia cards of the pre G200 cores, so 9000 and 8000 series. If you have performance issues, instead of using this mod turn off AA and use FXAA. In the game launcher you can find this advanced option. It is a post process (after rendering) algorithm that removes jagged edges without much loss of fidelity or framerate.
UPDATES: 1.1 - Fixed up few things. 1.1 - Supports now Skyrim Latest Patch (Dragonborn)
Enjoy! Meritus aka meritus335.
Works with most Nvidia Cards.
File Name | Release Type | Game Version | Downloads | Date |
Skyrim Better Performance | Beta | 118,293 | 11/15/2011 |
umm where am i suppose to put in the d3 file? in the skyrim folder or the windows/system32 folder? tell me quick please :D
my game auto detect on low quality but i can play the game on ultra lol without lag or freeze and loading times are still somthing like 10 secs XD
I think the change in graphics adapter to 8800 GS does cause issues with my GT 425M Optimus card. I'm not exactly sure why but since it changes the adapter within the launcher, priority goes to the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000, over the GT 425M. When I try to go into the nVidia control panel to Add TESV.exe to be used with the GT 425M, it has no affect; nothing gets added at all. This only happens with the d3d9.dll file in the folder. I've tried changing the adapter from 8800 GS to GT 425M in every ini file I could find but it still has no affect. It's only when I remove the d3d9.dll file from the folder that it begins to detect the GT 425M again. If I can find a way to add TESV.exe preference in the nVidia control panel it might be okay to leave the d3d9.dll in the folder even with the adapter set to 8800 GS. Maybe the solution is in beta drivers but I'm not entirely sure.
I'm assuming all nVidia cards with Optimus are having this issue.
If anyone knows a workaround let me know.
If you say 1.3 fixxed whaat this dll did then I'll try again since I replaced it before even starting with the patched one.
Thanks for the answer. You know a way to downgrade it or something? Since it patches automatically in Steam and it's unplayable now for me :(
Sadly wasnt working for me :(
dropped it in skyrim like u said... could u clarify just one thing? Is it My Games>Skyrim, or Steamapps>common>skyrim, or steamapps>common>skyrim>skyrim? none of them seem to work for me. It auto-detects and sets to high like it used to before the mod, but the performance is still choppy enough that i set it to medium to be properly playable. No change for me.
im running nvidia geforce 525m, 8 gig ddr3, windows 7 64bit, in case it matters. Would it be something isolated to windows 7? I know skyrim isnt brilliantly optimised for win7.
thanks in advance x
So I used this with 1.2 and I could suddelny play on highest settings with 80 fps. Before it was 40 on medium. But the newest patch (1.3) has broken it for me. It seems as if it's like with the standard dll file. Maybe need an update or can I downgrade my Skyrim or somethinng?
Thank you for sharing this .dll file.
I am able to play with High settings (with little lag, barely noticeable), I was using Low settings (with big lag once a 10 minutes).
Once again, thank you!
Dear Meritus335,
I have been using your mod for Skyrim play for a few days now. Here are my posted FPS results recorded from FRAPS as well as my computer specs.
Before your mod:
(On a good day) between 15-30 FPS avg. Max of 60. Min of 7
(On a bad day) between 5-15 FPS avg. Max of 60. Min of 1
After I installed your mod (checked and double checked to see if your mod was installed properly, it was)
(On a good day) between 15-30 FPS avg. Max of 60 (load screens) Min of 8.
(On a bad day) between 5-15 FPS avg. Max of 60. Min of 3.
From this evidence, your mod seems to enhance performance on my computer SLIGHTLY, however, this change is barely noticeable.
Computer specs:
Quadcore Mac intel i7 running on Windows XP SP3. 3Gig RAM. 1TB HD.
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 5750
DirectX 9.0c (Latest version for my OS)
I have removed your mod and hope that performance is drastically improved in the future. Thank you for providing me a free service, it was an experience I learned a bit from.
P.S. Ever play the game Meritus? :)

Best for seniors: 2d
Who says: Bankers Life and Casualty Co.
Forget about Florida and the belief that old people crave the sun. A new survey found that Boston is the second best US city for senior living, with Minneapolis ranking No. 1.

Romantic men: 6th

Tablet use: 40th

For Bostonians, everything is at their fingertips. With an average grade of a C+, Boston ranked 40th out of the 100 most-tablet-computer-using cities.

Walkability: 3d
Who says:
Boston ranks third among the nation's largest cities in walking accessibility, trailing No. 1 New York and San Francisco according to a survey by Seattle-based Walkscore.com. The best community in the commonwealth is Cambridge, left, which scored 89, one point shy of being considered a "walker's paradise." Boston got a score of 79.
Worst-Dressed City: 1st
Who says:
The fashion police have spoken. The men's style magazine named Boston as the most sartorially challenged metropolis in the greater United States. Take note: Pleated khakis are a fashion no-no.
Least obese: 4th
Who says:
Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Massachusetts is the fourth least obese state in the country with an obesity rate of 22.3 percent. The state's obesity rate has increased to almost double from its previous obesity rate of 11.6 percent in 1996, though it has maintained its rank as the fourth least over these years.
Best cities for families: 3d
Who says:
Parenting Magazine
Boston is one of the best cities for families, according to Parenting Magazine's 2011 list. Boston has a great school system, fine organizations, and top universities. Its community gardens, playgrounds, and parks make it an ideal place for kids.
Well-read: 1st
Who says:
Amazon.com recently released its list of the top 20 most well-read cities in America. Cambridge – one of the higher education hubs of the state (at left, Harvard University) – was ranked at the top.
Youngest: 5th
Who says:
Bostonians are at least a year younger than the age listed on their birth certificates. Why? They smoke less, sleep more (6-9 hours a night), and are less likely to be in unhappy relationships.
Angriest city: 81st
Who says:
Men's Health Magazine
Here's a ranking Boston nearly failed. Not surprised to hear someone lose their temper, whether it's road rage or a misunderstanding at a grocery store? Men's Health Magazine wasn't either. It ranked Boston as one of the angriest cities in the United States. Our grade: a D-plus.
Note: The list is organized from most angry to most serene. The higher the ranking, the angrier the city; the lower the number, the more serene.
Best place to live for those with autism: 4th
Who says:
Autism Speaks
Autism Speaks ranked Boston No. 4 based on its "proximity to services, access to services, and education in both public and private schools for children with autism," according to Autism Speaks president Mark Roithmayr.
Sports town: 2d
Who says:
The Sporting News
With the passion fans feel for the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins, locals might take issue with Boston only achieving runner-up status to Chicago in the The Sporting News ranking of top sports towns.
Flirtiest: 2d
Who says: Badoo, a social networking and dating site
New England's snowy, cold winters don't seem to have a negative effect on Bostonians' passion for meeting up with potential matches. The city ranks second only to Miami for being the flirtiest US city, according to a 2011 survey by Badoo.
Love: 6th
Who says:
The Daily Beast
Not only do Bostonians flirt, they apparently follow up. The Daily Beast ranks Boston among the top 10 cities for love, giving it an A ranking for the number of singles and a B rating for marriage.
Pictured, Claudiu and Alina Badea after their 2009 wedding ceremony in Boston.
Smartest: 3d
Who says:
The Daily Beast
With so many top colleges and universities calling Boston home, is there any surprise that The Daily Beast considers it a "wicked smaht" city?
Best college town: 4th
Who says:
American Institute for Economic Research
That being said, one survey ranked Boston behind New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., among college towns in the United States.
Running: 8th
Who says: Runner's World
The lure and legacy of the Boston Marathon gives the city a solid place among runners. Those training for 26.2 miles or something shorter can look for motivation along with views of the city along the Charles River and Esplanade.
Best microbrews: 7th
Who says:
Travel and Leisure
Boston scores big for its craft beer selections. Local residents may already know about area stalwarts Harpoon, Sam Adams, and Cambridge Brewing Company, but many smaller companies, such as the Cambridge-based Pretty Things and Clown Shoes, have also joined the Hub's beer scene in recent years.
Most wired: 12th
Who says: Forbes
Boston didn't score too high in a Forbes listing of the most-wired cities, citing the relatively small number of broadband service providers in the region.

What others think of our services
The way in which the Council is monitored and assessed by others is changing. In the past, a number of different government bodies were involved in monitoring and assessing our performance. Their judgements fed into the annual rating we received under the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA).
In the future, the ways in which we will be judged on our performance will be very different, though we remain committed to delivering high quality, value for money services. The Audit Commission will be disbanded and there will be no further Comprehensive Area Assessments. Instead, local councils will become more open and accountable to the community, publishing a range of spending and performance data to enable local people to form their own judgements on areas including whether we are well governed, delivering priorities, financially robust or achieving value for money.
Although some inspections have ceased, others continue, particularly around services for the most vulnerable including children's services and adult social care. The main organisations involved in assessing council services are:
- Care Quality Commission - registers, inspects and reports on adult social care services in England
- Ofsted - inspects and regulates the care of children and young people, and education and skills provision for learners of all ages
- Local Government Improvement and Development - is a local government body that works with councils to improve their services and encourage joint working across the sector

Health Information
Benefits of Breast-Feeding
Breast-feeding is a natural way to nourish your baby. It benefits both you and your baby. But it's your decision whether to breast-feed.
Benefits for the baby
Breast milk provides your baby with vitamins and minerals for optimal growth and development. It also has the needed proteins, fats, and other substances for growth.
Breast-feeding provides health benefits for your baby, such as:
- Reference Antibodies Opens New Window to strengthen your baby's Reference immune system Opens New Window.
- A lower risk for many types of infections, such as ear infections.
- Fewer gastrointestinal illnesses (vomiting and diarrhea).Reference 3
- A possible lower risk of food allergies.Reference 3
- A reduced risk for certain conditions, like Reference diabetes Opens New Window, Reference sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) Opens New Window, Reference asthma Opens New Window, and Reference eczema Opens New Window.Reference 1, Reference 2
- A reduced risk for becoming obese later in infancy and during childhood.Reference 1, Reference 4
To compare, baby formula does not help protect a baby from infections and other health problems.
Benefits for the mother
Soon after your baby is born, breast-feeding helps your body recover from the stresses of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Breast-feeding also stimulates your body to release Reference oxytocin, which helps your uterus contract, bleed less, and return more quickly to its prepregnancy size.
Breast-feeding also lowers your risk for certain health problems, such as breast cancer or diabetes later on.Reference 1, Reference 5
You may find that Reference losing weight is easier with breast-feeding. But weight-loss rates after delivery vary among women.
Feeding your baby milk at the breast is convenient, because you have a food source that is ready at all times. You don't have to do anything to prepare.
It's your decision
Breast-feeding is a personal choice. How you feed your baby is your decision. Your thoughts and feelings about it are an important part of the decision.

Black Crowes Concert Tickets |
Black Crowes Tour: Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys Tour Black Crowes Tour Dates: May - December 2010 The Black Crowes began their journey in 1984 under the name "Mr. Crowes Garden" in Atlanta, GA with founding members Chris and Rich Robinson. The band cited their initial inspirations as The Rolling Stones, The Faces, Buddy Guy, Otis Redding, and Humble Pie. After changing their name and signing to American Recordings (Def American) the band released their debut studio album "Shake Your Money Maker" in 1990. The album hit multi-platinum status and Black Crowes tickets went on sale for a tour with headliners ZZ Top. The band would eventually embark on a highly successful Black Crowes tour. Shortly afterward, the band released their second studio album"The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" in 1992. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard top 200 chart. The band released four more records, "Amorica, "Three Snakes and One Charm," "By Your Side," and "Lions" before their hiatus in 2002. Black Crowes tickets also sold out for Black Crowes concerts featuring The Grateful Dead in Tampa, Jimmy Page, The Who and Oasis. Chris Robinson would release two solo albums, "New Earth Mud" and "This Magnificent Distance," and Rich would join side project Hookah Brown and release the album "Paper" in 2004. When the band reunited in 2005, Black Crowes tickets would sold out for a short set of shows with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Since then the Black Crowes have released three studio albums including the most recent "Before the Frost...Until the Freeze" in 2009. In 2010 the band announced that Black Crowes tickets would soon go on sale for a Black Crowes tour named "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys Tour" to promote thier August release of their ninth studio album "Croweology" before a lengthy hiatus. The Black Crowes are considered one of the keystone bands of modern revivalist rock so Black Crowes tickets to their farewell Black Crowes tour will sell out. You won't be able to see Black Crowes live for a long time after the completion of this tour. So pick yourself up some Black Crowes tickets to the "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys tour today and sing "Seh Talks to Angels" live right along with them! |

Chemmen Biriyani and fish biriyani are unique dishes of kerala.Many of u maybe uncomfortable in cooking biriyani with prawns or fish coz of the smell.If u wash thoroughly and get rid of the smell,i bet u'll try it again and again.I remember once amma cooked Chemmen biriyani years back ,when i was doing my Masters. .We called it as 'Biriyani in a hurry' as She cooks everyday early in the morning and pack lunch packs for us and her and rush to office.I really admire her hurry cooking and the end result in simply 'Awesome'.On last Friday i wasn't in a mood to cook the usual rice and curry.Want to try something new,there was some frozen prawns waiting for me in fridge.There were some reasons behind trying it i guess,firstly was longing to try out amma's biriyani,secondly My hubby fav ,he'll finish the platter with a sweet smile.
Chemmen Biriyani
1. For Frying Prawns...
Big Prawns 1lb
Red chilly powder 1tsp
Turmeric powder 1/2tsp
Ginger-garlic paste 1/2tsp
Pepper powder 1/4tsp
Lime juice
salt to taste
I used frozen cleaned and deveined ones.Wash in cold water.Add lime juice and turmeric powder and some water.keep for 5 mins.Drain the water and Marinate with above items and keep it 30 mins.
2.Cooking rice....
Basmati rice 2cups
Wash the rice,soak for 15 mins.Cook rice with water .when its 3/4cooked,drain out the excess water and spread it in a plate.Allow it to cool completely.Once cool down,break the lumps with fork.
3.For Masala...
Big Onions 2
Tomato 1
Green chilly3-4
Coriendar powder 3tsp
Biriyani masala 2tsp
Red chilly powder 1/2tsp(optional)
Ginger 1 small piece
Garlic 4 big cloves
Ghee/oil 3tbsp
4.For garnishing..
Cashew 1/4cup
Raisins 1/4cup
Onions(thinly sliced) 1/4cup
Lemon juice
Turmeric powder
Heat ghee in a biriyani pot/heavy bottomed pot .Fry cashew and raisins till golden brown,keep aside.Fry sliced onions until golden brown ,remove and keep in a paper towel.Add little more ghee/oil for shallow frying prawns.{Amma doesn't fry prawns,she adds directly to the masala.I like fried ,u can do either way}Just fry 3-4 mins.Do not overcook,prawns become hard.Remove and keep aside.
Masala Preparation...
In the same ghee/oil ,add cinnamon,gloves,star anise,bay leaves .Add chopped onions,saute till slighly brown.Now add ginger-garlic,green chillies,cook till raw smell goes.Add biriyani masala,coriendar powder,saute for few mins.Add tomatoes,cook them with little water,salt.Once tomatoes are cooked,add fried prawns.Let it boil for few mins.Add cliantro leaves and enough water for ur gravy.Cook for 2 mins.Keep aside.
Preheat the oven to 300 F.In a bake tray or use the same biriyani pot.Place a layer of rice.Mix the lemon juice and turmeric powder.Sprinkle some drops on the rice.This gives a nice aroma and also some yellow color here and there in biriyani.Transfer masala on top of rice.Again add remaining rice ,sprinkle lemon juice with turmeric powder.Close the pot tightlywith lid or aluminium foil.Bake for 25-30 mins.Turn off the oven.Let the dish sit in the oven till you are ready to eat. Only break the seal when you are ready to eat. The way to serve Biryani is to gently dig in with a spoon so you get through the layers.Garnish with fried onions,cashew and raisins and cliantro.Serve hot with raita,pappadums and pickle.Enjoy !!!

Waking Ned Devine
MPAA Rating : PG
Year of Release : 1998
Stars : Ian Bannen (Jackie O'Shea), David Kelly (Michael O'Sullivan), Fionnula Flanagan (Annie O'Shea), Susan Lynch (Maggie), James Nesbitt (Pig Finn), Maura O'Malley (Mrs. Kennedy), Robert Hickey (Maurice), Paddy Ward (Brendy), James Ryland (Dennis Fitzgerald)
Except for a brief dream sequence, we never see the titular character of the Irish comedy "Waking Ned Devine" alive. No, Ned is dead from the beginning of the film--sitting in his armchair in front of his television set, a winning lottery ticket worth 6.8 million pounds clutched in his fingers. Dead of shock we are left to assume, a smile plastered across his face, his joyful eyes indicating that the excitement of having won the big jackpot was too much for his aged heart to take.
But, that doesn't stop the populace of the tiny Irish hamlet Tulaigh Mohr (or Tully More)--all 52 of them--from trying to cash in on Ned's fortune (or is that misfortune?). Led by two spirited geezers, Jackie O'Shea (Ian Bannen) and Michael O'Sullivan (David Kelly), the town's resourceful population bands together to trick a lottery official from Dublin into believing that Michael is Ned Devine, alive and well, so the check can be issued and each person can get a cut of the winnings.
"Waking Ned Divine" is an inspired if sometimes uneven offering, mixing broad physical comedy with touching melodrama and a few hints of dark black humor (just look at what happens to the one grouchy town citizen who doesn't get in on the plan). Directed by first-time writer-director Kirk Jones, a veteran of British TV commercials, the film is light on its feet and dodgy, relying almost entirely on its colorful cast of Irish characters to carry through an ambiguously moral story about stealing and duplicity that somehow comes out as an ode to generosity and the feeling of solidarity among neighbors.
The success of the film is largely due to the actors, especially Bannen and Kelly. Bannen, who looks a bit like Jack Lemmon, is a veteran of some 75 films, and he holds the center of the film with the kind of wit and dignity that only age can bring. His Jackie is a scheming, conniving, richly inventive old codger who is the kind of guy you would love to sit back with in a pub and knock down a couple of pints. His character is aided by his supportive, no-nonsense wife, Annie, played with charm and beauty by Fionnula Flanagan.
However, the real stand-out character, the one you're most likely to remember, is David Kelly's Michael. Kelly is a unique screen presence--scrawny and wrinkled like an old glove, he has great comic timing and a real sense of human dignity. His ability to play both the comedic and the dramatic are on display in numerous scenes, the former most obvious when he is trying to beat the lottery official back to Ned Devine's cottage, which forces him to ride the backways on a motorcycle completed naked. The scenes between him and the lottery official are well-scripted and directed by Jones, with Kelly making the most of a character who has never lied once in his life, and is suddenly pushed into the position of impersonating someone else in order to steal money. On the other hand, there is a funeral scene where Jackie is supposedly giving a eulogy about Ned, but it is really a disguised ode to his friendship with Michael, and the look on Kelly's face is deeply touching in its sincere gratitude and warmth.
But, don't get the wrong idea--"Waking Ned Devine" is not an overly sentimental film. It has some melodramatic subplots, such as the one about a complicated romance between Maggie, a single mother (Susan Lynch), and Finn, an honest pig farmer (James Nesbitt). But, even the sentimental aspects of the film are tainted with humor and sarcasm--the whole problem with the relationship between Maggie and Finn is that she can't stand the way he smells, and even some fruity scented soap isn't enough to do the job.
In fact, many scenes in the film are really quite vicious in a humorous, Monty Python sort of way. Note the twisted scene where Jackie and Michael try to rearrange the frozen expression of happiness on Ned Devine's corpse, or the scene where someone is killed in a phone booth that gets hit by a car and falls hundreds of feet down a cliff. In another movie, some of this might be construed as a bit sick, but because the overall tone of "Waking Ned Devine" is so breezy and devil-may-care, it ends up being delightfully charming instead of off-putting.

Column off base regarding TRS criticism
A recent Illinois Policy Institute column erroneously suggested that Illinois' Teachers' Retirement System made "bad investment decisions" last year. In reality, teachers' retirement money is in good hands. Over the past 10 years, total assets available for pensions has grown 62 percent to $37.5 billion.
Over 30 years, TRS investment returns are 9.6 percent – higher than our 8.5 percent target. Long-term results matter more than short-term because Illinois has promised pensions to all teachers, including those who won't retire for 30 years.
The column focused only on the System's 0.76 percent investment returns for fiscal 2012. Left unsaid is that the lower-than-expected earnings were caused by an unpredictable economy.

"Higher Education must engage in the exhilarating business of giving moral and ethical leadership training," – Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, speaking at the Stellenbosch Seboka on Higher Education and Ethical Leadership, South Africa, 24 April 2008.
Corrupt leadership continues to plague much of sub-Saharan Africa, deepening the economic, social and political crises in a region where half the population subsists on less than one dollar a day. "In most African countries corruption is estimated to represent between 20 and 30 percent of the GDP," said UNECA's Okey Onyejekwe at last month's International Conference on Institutions, Culture and Corruption in Africa. "That is inconceivably large."
The global coalition Transparency International, which ranks many of this region's countries among the world's most corrupt, concludes in a recent report that efforts to alleviate poverty fail because "donors and governments still treat poverty and corruption as separate — rather than integral — components of the same strategy."
Yet against this discouraging backdrop, a hopeful initiative has emerged from a diverse group of university leaders who believe higher education can be a catalyst for change. Presidents, vice chancellors and other officials of 17 universities met in southern Africa last April for the Stellenbosch Seboka on Higher Education and Ethical Leadership (Seboka is a Sesotho word meaning "a gathering for a common cause"). Convened at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, the meeting was co-hosted and facilitated by Mann Center Director John Knapp, who was then director of a center at Georgia State University.
Among the Seboka leaders were Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, former South Africa Chief Justice Arthur Chaskalson, and Ms. Frances Hesselbein, chair of the Leader-to-Leader Institute. The gathering culminated with a Declaration of Beliefs and Principles, unanimously adopted by the assembled leaders, which began with the affirmation, "Higher education is responsible for developing ethical and moral leaders for all sectors of society." Moreover, the group declared, "Higher education should fearlessly acknowledge and confront moral issues in society by articulating and publicly discussing them, and by deliberately addressing them as part of its teaching, research, community engagement, and administrative agenda."
Recognizing that this may be easier said than done, the Seboka called on all universities to "rethink and re-imagine traditional assumptions and approaches in all of its activities and disciplines."
