I grew up in a small town outside of Dodge City, which used to be famous for its corruption and gun battles, as well as a favorite hot spot of Western TV shows. But by the time I lived there, it was a quiet, sleepy small town that had traded in its brothels and bars for meatpacking plants and wheat farming.
My years in Kansas were more defined by the small Mennonite Brethren community of which I was a part. My parents were the pastors of that community and I had a very insulated upbringing. I had only been to the movie theater a single time growing up and was completely unaware of the larger world that the entertainment industry represented and comprised. In fact, I felt incredibly guilty about seeing that movie in the theater because of our church's stance on entertainment.
But, much to my surprise, God gave me a dream to become an actor and make movies while I was growing up in those Kansas wheat fields. My journey started at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where my parents and most of my relatives had studied, but I left after my first year. I called my dad and told him I was moving to Hollywood to make movies.
You can read about my early years in Hollywood in my book Between Heaven and Hollywood, but eventually I founded a faith and family movie company named Pure Flix. In 2014, we created a film called God's Not Dead, about a college student confronting his university professor with the truth of the gospel. What had started as a small budget feature film became a viral phenomenon as tens of millions of people around the world clamored to see the film.

It wasn't long before Hollywood took notice and soon the entertainment world began to shift. There was clearly an audience hungry for more faith and family films and that was just the beginning.
This weekend God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness opens nationwide as the third installment in the series, and it is sharing a message that could not be more relevant and timely to our nation today.
Rather than being a country of unity, we have become a society defined by division, anger and brokenness. But I believe that God is raising up a generation of believers to walk in grace and to shine God's light into that darkness. My hope is that God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness will spark conversations about how we can show love to our neighbors even through conflict.
Three of my favorite lines in the movie brilliantly illustrate what our culture needs from the church today:
1. "The church has become known more for what it's against than what it's for."
God calls us to be separate and apart from the world, even as we live in it. Rather than reflecting the world's conflict, we can offer a different narrative—the gospel.
We have to show the world what we as Christians stand for—God's grace and the redemptive power of faith in Christ.
We cannot shy away from shining God's light through grace, forgiveness and kindness. God has handpicked and placed you where you are for a purpose. He has chosen you to show His love to the people around you.
When we extend God's love even to those that don't deserve it (which is all of us), we bring light into the darkness.
2. "It's okay to be broken. It means God is still shaping you."
Our culture needs us to go first. We need to be willing to say, "I know I am not perfect, this is why I need Jesus." People need to see us being real.
All of us are broken, and God's Word tells us that truth. God is always at work in us, finishing the good work He started when we accepted Christ into our lives. We bring light into the darkness when we admit our failures and walk out our faith humbly.
3. "If grace isn't our goal, we are just fighting."
We have to be careful to not get too caught up in the culture wars; after all, we are called to a different kingdom—the kingdom of God.
The people around us and connected to us on social media need to know that our goal is grace. Most of all, the people in our lives need to hear from us how much God loves them, mess and all, and how much he wants to draw them to Himself.
God always has a plan. Even when our culture is dark, it is an opportunity for His light to shine brightest through us. When we bring light into the darkness, God is glorified. When God is glorified, others begin to see Him for who He truly is. The world around us needs us to shine God's light like never before.
Sometimes all it takes is a spark.

About our Chairman's
(Shaping your child's future under the watchful eyes of our chairman)
Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.
"Art is long, and Time is fleeting" means that the work given to us is vast and time consuming, but the time is running away fast with every moment. Though our hearts are brave and stout at other times, we fear death and our heart beats when we realize that Death is certainly coming our way bit by bit. This situation of our heart is being compared to the beating of the clothed drums at the funeral marches to the grave. That we should utilize our limited time span to the fullest instead of wasting it in the thought of death or other such thing.
"Do something great for the society, feel proud to depart,keepingbehind teary memories in the hearts of people."
Shri Pankoj Kumar Sarkar, a Chartered Accountant by qualification and professional experience over 25 years laid down the foundation of his dreams to build a premier institution of excellence, dedicated to his beloved mother "Late Saraswati Devi Sarkar", a tribute to a mother.
It is his commitment, prudence & visionary approach to school education that has re-defined the meaning of education. With an ambition to change the educational landscape in india, our chairman with his rigorous research across a decade is creating an institution with world class infrastructure catering to the needs of 22nd century.
He is a man who believes in moving on a road being less travelled. He is a man who believes that a dream can be turned into reality. For him education is something that provides complete development of a child. Education is meant to make the child learn, how to learnthought his life. Mere upliftment in academics is not sufficient for complete development of a child. A child should be perfect in all aspect to render and run through all the hurdles of his life.
In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!He is a man who believes that "Hard works has no substitutes". It is his deep desire to implant these simple formula into the heart's of little children so that can be successful in their life even when they leave the school.

Capcom has defended Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles following accusations by religious leaders that it promotes the occult and glorifies violence.
Bishop Bryant of Jarrow, Archdeacon Brian Smith and Rt Rev John Goddard recently accused the Wii-exclusive shooter of promoting the dark arts and legitimising aggression for young people.
"If we dabble in this area we open ourselves to influences and put ourselves at risk," Goddard told reporters. "I would regard any encouragement for children to be drawn into this behaviour with extreme horror."
In response, Capcom spokesperson Leo Tan dismissed the "absurd" suggestions as "scaremongering and typical religious hysteria". He further argued that "all society's ills" cannot be blamed on video games.
"Most games like Resident Evil show characters fighting evil not supporting it," said Tan.
"Unfortunately the clergy is showing a lack of understanding of the video games industry and is too quick to splash the holy water and lump video games players into stereotypical boxes."
He continued: "Video games are entertainment and like horror movies or other scary films they are covered by a ratings system. Resident Evil for example is a 15 and not suitable for anyone under that age. Parents have to be trusted to adhere to these age restrictions and use common sense."
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will be released in Europe on November 27.

I am a makeup and skincare product junkie, but on a day-to-day basis, I frequently go makeup free. Sometimes, it's all makeup, sometimes I wear eye make up and no foundation. There was a time, in my early 20s when I wouldn't think of leaving the house without even a little bit of makeup, but the older I get, the less I care, and it's actually done a couple of things for me. One, it's made me realize that you don't *HAVE* to wear makeup every day, nothing really happend when I wasn't wearing a full face of makeup, and two, my skin got better. I don't know if some of my skin getting better also came with age, or was in part thanks to not putting stuff all over my face,and then removing it each night. The world may never know.
My June customer Kudos, came with the Foundation and Concealer in my color choice of Organza. I could have chosen another color for the concealer if I wanted. It also came with the backordered primer, and the foundation brush (brush closest to product in photo.) I also added the concealer brush, and the foundation brush in the foreground is my own, Mary Kay, which I use to apply the primer.
Once the package arrived, I cleaned my face, slapped on some primer, and then applied the concealer and foundation. While my skin has some dry patches that definitely showed up close, this stuff was awesome. The color match was perfect, the formula was lightweight, easy to blend and build, and didn't leave me feeling like I was wearing a mask. I've been fighting some dry skin patches on my forehead, and tops of my cheekbones, I think from the constant AC and hard water, here in AZ. I moisturized the crap out of those places, and only the forehead still had a bit of a flaky look up close. Thankfully in normal interaction no one could tell, and I am super pleased with the products!
What's your favorite foundation brand?

Is the Earth Alive?
Date: 8/10/16
Time: 12.00noon
Venue: Art House Cafe
Categories:Sustainable Water Land Use And Wildlife
There are many ways in which we can discuss the concept of the earth having life, from the microlevel of tiny organisms populating the planet and the things on it, up to the flora and fauna, and even to the concept of the entire planet as a unified system.
Have you heard of the Gaia Hypothesis? The hypothesis is that the Earth is a complex system which is able to self-regulate to maintain an environment that is optimal for sustaining life. It suggests that living organisms co-evolve with their inorganic (non-living) environment (like changes in climate and geological structure) and that the environment changes through the influence of its inhabitants.
Jake will explore this in James' question: "Has the Gaia Hypothesis been proved or disproved?"
We will explore these question in the event, where everyone will be encouraged to come up with further questions whilst engaging in a creative and imaginative discussion.
A donation to The Art House is highly encouraged but not compulsory for attending the event.
Join us in The Art House on Above Bar Street for a good coffee and great, environmental science! #sciroom #sustainsoton

That bathhouse in Nishi-Tokyo
I was watching the Milon's Secret Castle episode and for the Tamage segment that bathouse looked strangely familiar. I might have seen it in Den-O, when that Red Megaranger held it up, and in an episode of Yabe Kenzo. How popular of a location is it to film for a bathouse in Tokyo?
And at that Albie cried a single tear which turned into a jelly bean all the colors of the rainbow! And

If you want to look and feel your best, consider personal training in Garden City. Personal training can help you stick with a workout plan that's designed specifically for your needs. In some cases, trainers also help you with a nutritional plan of healthy eating. It's not a diet, but it does help you lose weight and keep it off your entire life. You learn how to make smarter choices at the table, whether that's at home or at a restaurant. The combination of the two will add years to your life and even make your complexion and body look years younger. You'll get more years to your life and more life in those years,
Personal trainers first learn about you.
A trainer doesn't just hand you a barbell and tell you to do twenty sets of ten. He or she first assesses your fitness. While you may have to exercise while he or she assesses you, it's not the final plan, but a way for the trainer to find how strong you are, how much endurance you have, your level of flexibility and how good your balance is. The trainer also learns about your goals and any special needs. Special needs may include dietary needs, such as lactose intolerance for the dietary plan or physical limitations, such as a bad back that might require adjusting the form of certain exercises.
You'll work hard but always safely within your capabilities.
The program will have you working toward your maximum capabilities, and that's going to hard work. It won't take long until you easily reach your goal. That's when the trainer ups the ante and makes the workout more difficult. He or she adjusts it to match your new fitness level. That's one of the steps most people forget when they workout on their own and also one of the reasons trainers make such good progress with their clients.
You won't be given a diet, but will learn how to eat healthier.
At first, you'll probably be given a meal plan until you learn how to make healthier choices in food. Sometimes, you'll learn the best substitutions, such as brown rice for white rice to add nutrition and save calories. The minor changes all add up. You'll learn how to cook differently and even the food to choose in restaurants. You still will be able to eat your favorite foods, but less frequently and in smaller portions.
- Trainers provide motivation. Just knowing you're working with a trainer that day will get you into the gym.
- You'll start to feel a surge in your energy level after just a week or so. While the physical changes will come, they won't show up as quickly. It may take a month of training to see the difference.
- Personal trainers work with people of all fitness levels.
- When you combine regular exercise with a healthy diet, you'll see the quickest results. A healthy diet lowers your caloric intake and exercise burns more calories, giving fat a double whammy.
I've been a member for a few years and cannot say enough great things about them. Marshall and Jay have created and built an incredible gym second to none in the area. All of the trainers are professional, knowledgeable and care about their members. They have the highest quality equipment that is always clean and well maintained.
We LOVE Marshall @ Jack City Fitness. My kids have lots of issues with their body. Marshall has done so much to help them with their training and he is always setting new goals, finding new ways to keep them motivated, and the most important thing, he holds them accountable for themselves. He has a daily workout log which he goes over with them to ensure the kids understand what is expected of them.
I love this place! The folks at Jack City are some of the most sincere and knowledgeable people around. Their workouts are custom made to your goals and fitness level. Combined with the fun and encouraging atmosphere, you are destined for success!
Jack City Fitness is not your typical gym. You get a complete fitness work out plan and the trainers are so great and want to see you succeed in reaching your goals.
I never thought I would enjoy working out until I started training at JCF! The entire staff is experienced, helpful and encouraging! They all genuinely want you to succeed in your heath and fitness goals!
This facility is an awesome place to train. the shooting range has synthetic ice which was awesome for improving my shot and stick handling. I highly recommend this place to train.
I have been in and out of fitness facilities throughout the country and trust me, Boise is very fortunate to have Jack City Fitness. Great group of trainers and with a refreshing approach to training and access to their facility.
As a busy, young entrepreneur I signed up for elite fitness classes to help save time from creating my own workouts. what I discovered is that not only do I save a ton of time but the classes absolutely kick my butt. There is no preparation on my end, all I have to do is show up. Jay and Dylan are very credible trainers that have really been helping me get back into tip top shape. JCF is the real deal.
I have been working out at JCF for over a year. I love the staff and it's the CLEANEST gym in Boise. Everyone is so friendly and you definitely get personalized attention. The trainers really care about you and make working out a lot of FUN! I highly recommend Jack City Fitness!!
No other place/facility like this in Boise, not even close. Marshall and his group of trainers are the most educated and focused I've ever been around, and the cutting edge programs they teach and use are unlike anything I've ever seen and got my NCAA athlete son ready for his upcoming season in record time. We are a loyal JCF family now!

"One of the things I treasure about Sag Harbor is its thriving arts community. The Cinema has been, both literally and metaphorically, at the center of that creative identity. I fervently hope that it remains so," said Academy Award winning actress and author Julie Andrews in Annette Hinkle's book "Sag Harbor, 100 Years of Film in the Village."
The American Values Film Series, presented by the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center, continues on Sunday, March 4 at 2 p.m. with a screening of "The Americanization of Emily" at Pierson High School Auditorium. The post-film discussion will feature Andrews.
Both controversial and highly celebrated when it opened in 1964, "The Americanization of Emily" is a sharp, pacifist romantic comedy written by Paddy Chayefsky ("Network," "Altered States"), loosely adapted from a novel by William Bradford Huie. Directed by Arthur Hiller, who fought the studio to photograph it in black and white, it is the first anti-war movie of the Vietnam era, released six years before "Catch 22" and "M*A*S*H." Its plot places the audience in 1944 London during the build-up to D-Day, where Charlie Madison (James Garner), an American naval officer with a taste for the good life, sees his priorities challenged when he falls in love with a moralistic British girl, Emily Barham (Julie Andrews).
"I feel so fortunate that my second foray into film-making was 'The Americanization of Emily'," Andrews said recently. "Paddy's Chayevsky's script about the folly of war was simply brilliant, and it was an honor to work with such industry giants as Arthur Hiller, James Garner, James Coburn and Melvyn Douglas, all of whom threw themselves into Paddy's meaty characters and magnificent language with relish and respect. It remains among my favorite films, as relevant today as it was then."
Ms. Andrews has been a beloved star of stage, screen and television for more than half a century. She received Tony Award nominations for her roles in the original Broadway productions of Camelot and My Fair Lady. She won an Academy Award for her title role in Mary Poppins and was also nominated for her performance in The Sound of Music. Andrews was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 2000. In 2007, she received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award for her professional accomplishments, and a few years later a Lifetime Achievement Grammy. In 2016, Andrews directed a production of My Fair Lady at the Sydney Opera House, in honor of the work's 60th anniversary. Andrews and daughter Emma Walton Hamilton have co-authored over 30 extremely successful children's books. They are currently collaborating on Andrews' second memoir.
Coming up in the American Values Series: Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and "The People vs Paul Crump" by William Friedkin.

Extremist Radio Hosts Rally For Ted Cruz On The Eve Of The Iowa Caucuses
Blog ››› ››› DANIEL ANGSTER
In one of the last rallies before the Iowa caucuses, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) allowed right-wing radio hosts, Glenn Beck, Michael Berry,and Steve Deace, to introduce him, despite their records of espousing extreme rhetoric.
Cruz's rally featured seven speakers including anti-gay activists like CEO of The Family Leader Bob Vander Plaats and Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson as well as Iowa's Rep. Steve King (R). However, it was the presence of radio hosts Glenn Beck, Michael Berry, and Steve Deace which best illustrated the divisive nature of Cruz's platform.
Beck, once of Fox News fame and now a television and radio host on The Blaze, previously caused controversy due to his claim that President Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." The host has been criticized in the past for his use of Nazi imagery, his history of violent rhetoric and for making outlandish claims like blaming President Obama for the November terrorist attack in Paris. Beck announced his endorsement of Cruz in January, making Cruz the first candidate he has officially endorsed in his broadcast career.
Iowa based radio host Steve Deace began supporting Cruz early in this election cycle and endorsed Cruz in August, saying he has a "commitment to our principals." Since his endorsement Deace has written at least 24 articles trumpeting Cruz, advised the candidate before debates, and appeared in a lengthy campaign ad for Cruz.
Deace's brand of extremism centers around a plethora of anti-gay ideas. Deace coined the phrase "rainbow jihad" to describe advocates for LGBT rights -- a phrase which Cruz paraphrased claiming "the jihad ... going after people of faith who respect the biblical teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman." Deace's extreme views have led him to write about a hypothetical conversation with Jesus in which he claims to show Obama is not a Christian and an article which suggested divorce could make children gay. Deace has recently pushed the conspiracy theory that Obama may not leave the White House when his term is up in January 2017.
Rounding out Cruz's radio host speakers was Michael Berry, a supporter of Cruz's senate bid and "friend for over ten years." Much of Berry's show revolves around stoking the flames of racial tension. The host often undermines the intentions behind the Black Lives Matter movement, claiming "black lives matter, just not to black people" and that white people don't kill people the way black people do. Comedian Chuck Knipp, a frequent guest of Berry's, performs in blackface as "Shirley Q. Liquor" to mock racial stereotypes of black people.
Most egregious is Berry's weekly segment dedicated to mocking victims of gun violence in Chicago. Every Monday the host reads the "butcher bill," reciting the names of those shot while mocking their names and the circumstances in which they were wounded or killed. Berry has claimed that the segment is sponsored by Black Lives Matter.

Tech Talk about social interaction robots
WiTech, the network for women studying och workning with IT, invites you to our third Tech Talk of the year and the first this autumn. This time Zeynep Yücel, assistant professor at Okayama University in Japan, gives a talk about her work (joint attention modeling, head pose and gaze direction estimation, and motion tracking) and her experience as a woman in the technology bracnch. The seminar will be given in English.
Please register no later than Wednesday 15 August using this form. We look forward to see you here! Don't hesitate to contact the WiTech team through email@example.com if you have any questions.
Design of social interaction robots is a very challenging research problem, which is very far from being solved considering the current state of artificial intelligence systems. In this talk, we will limit ourselves to two particular cases. One case relates a plain interaction scenario between a robot and a human particularly from a joint attention point of view. Another case relates a more complex scenario where the robot is employed in a public space. In this kind of setting, the robot is required to act in a socially acceptable way both while moving alone and as part of a pedestrian group. To this end, we will discuss the development of group motion models and recognition algorithms.

The new Fortnite and Avengers crossover has brought a lot of hype around the game and a lot of people are loving it. The new Infinity Gauntlet mode is a solo mode where the storm has already shrunk right as the battle bus lifts off.
The Infinity Gauntlet comes down from the atmosphere as a meteor and spawns in a random spot.
The Infinity Gauntlet allows players to be Thanos. He will spawn in with 800 Health and 200 Shield. Thanos has three special abilities that players can use to get eliminations.
His primary attack is a might punch that knocks enemies back and destroys structures.
His secondary attack Harnesses the energy of the Power stone to fire a blast that does damage over time.
His third attack is a super jump that can vault Thanos over all but the largest structures.
If Thanos is killed, players can pick up the Gauntlet for themselves and be Thanos with full health and shield.
Many people think this mode is great for the game and has it going in the right direction for the future.
Regis Jesuit Freshman Brady Manzanares said, "This is the most unique game mode Fortnite has made and it is very exciting." The fact that Marvel reached out to Epic Games is huge because more big companies are starting to recognize what an excellent game Fornite really is.
The first Fortnite crossover has gone very well and there will hopefully be many more fun crossovers to come in the future.

Barriers, something Clark said the DNR hasn't considered but might, have been erected around spillways at a number of lakes nationwide.
In Illinois, barriers have been added at Lakes Shelbyville and Carlyle in the past few years. The lakes are among the more than 400 across the country owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The barrier at Shelbyville, an 11,000-acre lake about 30 miles southeast of Decatur, was added a few years ago for $57,000, said Alan Dooley, spokesman for the Corps of Engineers St. Louis District.
Signs on the lake had long warned boaters and others to stay at least 600 feet away from the spillway that empties into the Kaskaskia River, Dooley said."
You do want to provide that additional, I guess you'd call it a passive safety measure," he added.
The Shelbyville barrier was built by a New Jersey company, Wave Dispersion Technologies Inc. It's essentially a long cable held on the top of the water by tightly spaced plastic floats.
At $200 to $250 a foot, company owner Dennis Smith said the barriers provide both security – blocking access to anyone who might want to damage or destroy a dam – and safety.
"Usually the dams just need a barrier where something won't float over it if (their boat is)
disabled," Smith said. "It'll stop somebody from drifting over."

Stress and Anxiety affect your body organs. Since your skin is one of the main organs in your body, it's quite natural that you may develop skin problems due to stress. The most common skin problem caused due to anxiety is red and pink blotches, which causes itching or burning sensation.
One way to find out if you have red blotches due to anxiety is whether they tend to come up when you experience any other anxiety symptoms. Red spots are not the only sign that reflects when you're stressed. Consult a doctor, who can prescribe suitable cure for all your red skin blotches and also ease the accompanying itches.
Allergic Reactions
Some people are allergic to certain food. Similarly ingredients present in skin products or clothing can also cause allergic reactions resulting in red blotches or patches on the skin.
If you have dermatitis, you will certainly notice red blotches and itching. Your skin is in direct contact with an allergen or irritating substance, present in detergent, any solvent, skin-care cream, body soap, metal, acid or chemical. Studies have revealed that allergic reaction often occur 24 to 48 hours after the exposure.
You may develop red skin patches around your nose, cheek, forehead and chin. Also if you see carefully, you will find tiny spider veins and small tiny pimples popping up. If it is not treated properly, eye problems can happen. Untreated rosacea leads to enlargement of nose and swollen cheek.
Weather Effects
Sometimes you may develop red blotches around your face due to weather. Red patches are quite common for some people during winter. If your skin lacks moisture, red patches occurs.
Body Heat
At times, body heat can be the cause for red blotchy skin. Intense stress as well as anxiety raises the body heat and releases a chemical called histamine. It is the same chemical that is released in case of an allergic reaction. Due to the release of histamine, which simulates gastric secretions and dilates, our body generates hives, and thereby leading to itchy, red blotches all around your skin. The hives can cause rashes anywhere in the body be it neck, chest, face, arm etc.
Anxiety also leads to the release of histamine, which further heats the body resulting in skin rash known as miliaria. Miliaria is a harmless sweat rash that occur for people suffering from anxiety attacks.
So, if you have developed red blotches around your face, you can visit elisebernier.ca. Elise is a renowned Cosmetic Surgeon, which can resolve your skin related problems. Hence, if you are put up somewhere near Sherbrooke, visit her clinic once.

What does your story say about you?
Posted by Molly Wendell // in Networking
I was at a networking event last week. It was mostly for entrepreneurs and those looking to fund entrepreneurs. And as I met person after person, I was amazed at what each person's story said about them.
Three people I met happened to be in a job search. And that was pretty much the second thing out of their mouth. The first thing was their name. Even though I'm in contact with those in a job search on an on-going basis, I'm still amazed that people lead with that story. Quite frankly, it's a story nobody really wants to talk about. Not even the person in the job search! More importantly, it ends up being a conversation killer because it puts the person on the receiving end of that information in an uncomfortable situation.
Now, that's not to say that the person on the receiving end is a bad person. It's just that they're a perfectly normal person. And they didn't put away their family obligations, all the work stacked up at their office, or just a night to themselves to hear about someone's job search. They came to meet interesting people. So be interesting.
A few others I met were fairly new entrepreneurs. They had some great ideas. And they wanted to talk about them. A lot. I mean all night! Now that's not to say I wasn't interested in their story, but much of it was completely irrelevant to me. In fact, some of it was a little dry. And while I was watching your mouth move, I'm not sure I heard what was coming out of it!
At what point might it benefit someone to figure out who they're talking to.
Can you imagine being hired to speak to a group of people and not asking about the group's mission, its members, or any other key information that might enable you to tailor your speech to them? Yet, that's what people do at networking events all the time! They forget to tailor the conversation to the person they're speaking to. It's the same thing, person after person.
"Hey, here's all about me. I don't know squat about you, but let me continue talking before I forget what I rehearsed about me, me, me."
I'm not saying you can't talk about yourself (especially when I ask you a million questions… all about yourself). But, I am saying that if you're going to talk about yourself, please make it interesting. Please make it relevant. And if it's not going to interesting or relevant, then please, please, please make it quick!

Open Letter to OSI
Mike Tiemann, President of OSI and CTO of Redhat says he's putting his foot down. In a recent blog post he states:
Enough is enough. Open Source has grown up. Now it is time for us to stand up. I believe that when we do, the vendors who ignore our norms will suddenly recognize that they really do need to make a choice: to label their software correctly and honestly, or to license it with an OSI-approved license that matches their open source label.
If you read my personal blog regularly you know I've been outspoken about companies claiming to be open source, but not adhering to the OSD or licensing with an OSI approved license. In fact, I've been so outspoken I've offended some well connected people, I have even been called infantile names, and in some circles marginalized. I've blogged about the dilution of open source and the confusion created by new pseudo-open source licenses and I've left lengthy comments at OSI. Moreover, I spoke directly with Mike Tiemann about the need for OSI to put their foot down and take a stand for open source. I've even provided some ideas about how this can be accomplished.
In Mike's aforementioned post he specifies a few CRM companies that have been waving the open source banner, but do not license with an OSI approved license. The most well known being SugarCRM. I've blogged about SugarCRM and it's CEO John Roberts previously (the last bit of this post). Let me say, I really like John and I think SugarCRM is a quality product. Previously I stated I wasn't certain if attribution licenses were "bad", but that they were definitely unnecessary and placed unfair restrictions on others because the authors don't provide similar concessions to projects they use in their development. I now believe attribution is bad. If an open source project/product requires prominently displayed attribution shouldn't they also do this for all their components? Won't this escalate? Will applications end up looking like NASCAR? Take MindTouch's DekiWiki for example. What if it had the requirement that logos for MindTouch, MySQL, PHP, Mono, ImageMagick, Debian, Apache, on and on…were prominently displayed? Wouldn't this diminish reusability and begin to infringe on the freedoms of others? Isn't reusability, at least partially, the point of open source? I believe it is. We want people to reuse MindTouch's software and do great things with it. I'm certain a growing use of attribution would diminish the reusability of open source.
Those who use an attribution license do so with the intent of protecting their intellectual property. First of all, it should be understood copyright does this already. Secondly, I've often heard from companies who use an attribution license that they don't want a competitor incorporating their work into a competing proprietary product or stealing their work and rebranding it as their own. This is mostly solved by using GPL because of the nature of its copyleft clause. Eben Moglen gives a wonderful talk on not being another's free lunch that explains this brilliantly. All the attribution licenses I've seen are modified MPL licenses, which doesn't offer the same protection as GPL. Finally, the notion that someone will come along, steal your code, and be able to out-innovate you on your own code is a spurious claim. And quite frankly, if you can be out-innovated on your own codebase..well, you've got bigger problems. Free and open source software, is about freedom and freedom (and more choices) is always what's best for the market (users, developers, etc). For those who assert: "It's their work, they should receive attribution." or "I want to be attributed for my work." Well, so do I. MindTouch receives attribution thanks to copyright. It's wonderful to receive attribution, but restricting users or developers by requiring a prominently displayed logo and link is wrong and potentially harmful for reasons that should become clear when you understand the significance of free and open source software, which I will go into in a moment. For additional historical perspective on this topic review the UC Berkeley advertising clause.
An even more toxic misuse of open source that seems to be growing more prevalent and brazen is when a company successfully wields the banner of open source for years, but doesn't release a line of code. There is a difference between using open source and being open source. I suspect the Free Software Foundation would claim there is a difference between being free and using free software and would draw this line between free software and open source. I don't agree with this, but I do believe "open source is a development methodology; free software is a social movement." And open source is a development methodology inspired by free software. At any rate, the ignorance of analysts and journalists has assisted offenders in spreading their deceptions intentional and otherwise. And OSI is partially guilty for this by not being more aggressive to stop it, but before I constructively criticize OSI I want to address why open source is so very important to all of mankind.
So what is the significance of free and open source software (FOSS)? If you don't understand why open source matters then this is a pointless conversation. Therefore, just to make sure we're all on the same page let's address this first. The reason why open source matters is the same reason why open standards matter. The Internet revolution and perhaps the very dawn of the Information Age has been fueled almost entirely by FOSS and open standards. Without FOSS and open standards there simply would not be the Internet you know and love today. The current boom in the technology industry is due almost entirely to FOSS and open standards. The first .COM boom also owes itself to FOSS and open standards. How so? So as to not dig too deeply into history let's just examine the current Web 2.0 boom. Because there are huge repositories of open source applications, libraries, and components developers are able to very quickly build interesting things at very low costs. Most often these applications are then released for others to create derivatives of and build on. Or, thanks to open standards and increasingly this is true with SOA, one can provide an API for others to incorporate functionality into their own projects, but let's just focus on FOSS. In short, open source projects like Apache, Linux. MySQL, Perl, PHP, and many other thousands of projects are building blocks for engineers to construct wonderful things for all of mankind.
Having, I hope, now sufficiently established the importance of open source I suppose it's important to answer the question: so what, if others don't adhere to OSI
s vision of open source? Who cares other than OSI, right? OSI is a community appointed board that is tasked with ensuring the building blocks, that are open source components, fit together cleanly. What if there were no standards body for licensing and defining open source? The result would be a chaotic landscape that would be very difficult to navigate and that would require an army of lawyers. It would not be clear what one license means relative to another, if they fit together, or how they would fit with proprietary software systems. Each license would have to be carefully examined by the individual wishing to use the component. I surely do not want to be responsible for this legal bill. FOSS would quickly become too expensive to be worth using. Clearly, only the lawyers win in this reality. I want to rely on OSI. They should make my life simpler and require less legal expense on all our parts. Moreover, I want them (and FSF) to be the umbrella that polices offenders who misuse the title of open source by not paying forward the benefits they reap from FOSS.
This brings me to my most unfortunate conclusion that OSI, in my opinion, has been remiss with its responsibilities. First and foremost there needs to be a membership, member involvement, and some transparency in how the board is appointed. I think a portion of the board should be elected. More importantly I think OSI should be more aggressive in policing our community. This can be done with very little overhead by using a "wall of shame", which I proposed previously. The wall of shame could be structured such that offenders are warned of their offenses and then ultimately ostracized by listing their offenses on a public website, namely www.opensource.org. This is a low cost solution that will undoubtedly prove to be effective.
I believe that the folks at OSI are well intentioned hard working people who probably give far more than they receive. With a membership, perhaps paid, I believe the board can afford to give more and expect more in return. I know there is already a move underway to put in place a membership and I'm quite thankful for this. Moreover, it seems with Mike's most recent post there will be an increase in the aggressiveness of the organization in protecting open source. This too is wonderful news. I think open source is experiencing some growing pains as the community tests boundaries; however, if OSI doesn't reign the problem children I believe we'll all suffer.

These are a fantastic resource and are very active. Folks there are really helpful.
Also look at the dev docs: http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/

Oh, and one more thing, if by any chance you know of an easy way I could hack in the CAPTCHA on all page edits etc?(right now captcha is presented only for registering but i want to anyone to edit it without logging in…)…goodnight…or morning…laterz
Joe permalink
Hi Aaron,
Many thanks for the reply, its great to hear that its not 'required'.(i do think it could be a little easier, in tikiwiki its a separate bottom 'bar' in template that can be disabled from control panel without logging in to Unix shell.And anyone who really wanted to know what was running site could do a View Page source so you wouldn't lose much.)
I'm not familiar with it at all yet and maybe I'm short a few neurons nowdays, and it is past 1am but i still haven't found right file to edit in skins directory…will try again after some sleep.(egrep -R "Powered by" outputs a flood of text…)take care
Removing the "Powered by MindTouch Deki" couldn't be easier. Simply edit the skin, delete the line that has this text or just comment it out. Couldn't be simpler. More importantly though is the fact that we don't require users to show this "Powered by MindTouch Deki" nor do we require, as other badgeware / CPAL licensees have (note: a now failed experiment), to present a logo.

London's Firmdale hotel group has doubled its New York property count to two, with a move to Midtown. Derek Guthrie checks-in
TBH I've never really had a great deal of time for Midtown. Work, yeah, MOMA, yeah, some good restaurants… but I've never known anyone who actually resides there. To coin a well-known local cliché from where I lived, most people I knew got a nosebleed above 14th Street.
A view not universally held, I agree, given the zillions of visitors swarming up and down 5th Avenue every day, not to mention the street's most famous former resident, First Lady Melania, who loved it so much she refused for the longest time to vacate Trump Tower, instead posting wistful images of the Manhattan skyline from the penthouse aerie of her husband's 58-story Golden Temple of Mammon.
Casting her gaze to the streets below, she may or may not have remarked a new neighbor on West 56th Street, just over the road and beyond the security barricades. Named after a northern UK beach resort – the place where Dracula makes landfall in Bram Stoker's novel – the Whitby Hotel has as much in common with faded English seaside grandeur as I have with Melania's husband. It has brought cool to the district.
To say that Firmdale reinvent their surroundings is no exaggeration. Aeons ago, the Charlotte Street Hotel in London turned overnight into medialand central overnight and has stayed that way; the new(ish) Ham Yard Hotel transformed a dingy, threatening alleyway behind Piccadilly Circus to an elegant upscale thoroughfare. The Soho Hotel was once a multistorey car park. Even the group's most discreet townhouse properties, like The Knightsbridge, enliven more sedate upscale environs with a sprinkling of celebrity dust.
On entering the Whitby I shared an elevator with James Cromwell, the Hollywood A-lister who's played everything from US President (George Bush senior in W) to the Duke of Edinburgh (The Queen) to a pig farmer (Babe) in getting on for 200 movies. On the sidewalk I might have joined the throng of autograph hunters; in here we just smiled knowingly, him famous, me not.
We sipped martinis and stared up at Trump Tower while Tony Bennett crooned from the 33rpm record player in the corner. It was a Midtown Moment
The Firmdale formula works. A buzzy cocktail bar leads to a light, modern restaurant; a luxurious basement cinema; and rooms which please the eye. There's killer design from founder Kit Kemp, with strong, bold colours everywhere, punctuated by original curiosities of modern art, including Real Time Grandfather Clock by Maarten Baas in the Whitby's lobby. I can personally vouch for the space, light and elegance of suite 903, from whose terrace we sipped martinis and stared up at Trump Tower while Tony Bennett crooned from the 33rpm record player in the corner. It was a Midtown Moment.
Beds are as luxurious as you might expect, as are the expansive marble bathrooms. Giant flat screen TVs and subdued lighting make for ultra-comfortable early nights, or the temptation to stay up till 12.30 to watch James Corden's Late Late Show. Fresh fruit bowls and Evian abound and although I wasn't looking for it (honest), pressing on a closet door suddenly revealed, hey presto, a fully stocked bar.
During my stay we had a late night, tumbling in from a midweek event at a time when most London bars might have already been closed. The Whitby Bar was alive and our sizeable party continued until, well, ahem, late. I'm assured the fun we thought we had, we did.
All this is well and good, but in my book hotels are only as good as their staff. In this case, having misplaced my wallet before arriving, and having no cash, I was particularly grateful to the company employee who ignored formal procedure and, from his own pocket, loaned me enough to get to where I needed to resolve the situation. Given the strangulated conversations I've had at some lobby desks trying to get basic service, I was more than relieved to discover I had a new best friend behind the counter.
There's a new kid on the block – or, as Dracula himself might have said, new blood. C
The Whitby Hotel, 18 W56th Street, New York, NY 10019 USA

Chiropractic care is a drug-free, nonsurgical treatment for many types of conditions and to help manage pain. As more and more medical professionals are recognizing its effectiveness and viability for treating many issues in the body, chiropractic is gaining popularity and becoming the treatment of choice for many patients with chronic pain, back problems and other issues. In particular, it has been found to be a very effective treatment for spondylolisthesis. It can not only relieve the pain, but often return the patient's mobility as well.
What Is Spondylolisthesis?
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slides forward over the vertebra that is below it. It is typically confined to the lumbosacral, or lower back area. It can become painful, causing lower back pain and weakness or numbness in one or both legs, when it causes the nerve roots or spinal cord to be squeezed. In severe cases, a patient can lose control of their bowel or bladder function, but this is fairly rare. However, any patient who begins to lose bowel or bladder control should contact their doctor immediately.
In some cases, a person's vertebra can slip out of place without any symptoms being present. Sometimes the symptoms don't show up until months or even years later. Symptoms of spondylolisthesis may include:
- Low back pain
- Pain in the buttock area
- Pain that radiates from the lower back down one or both legs
- Weakness in one or both legs
- Leg muscles feel tight (one or both legs)
- Limping or walking difficulties
- Loss of bower or bladder control (rare)
- Pain that increases when twisting or bending
How Is Spondylolisthesis Diagnosed?
Spondylolisthesis is diagnosed by a doctor or chiropractor who may conduct several diagnostic tests. Typically, the doctor will take X-rays of the patient's back to rule out certain conditions, especially if they suspect spondylolisthesis.
The X-ray will allow the doctor to see if any of the patient's vertebrae have slipped out of place, or are cracked or fractured. An MRI or CT scan may also be ordered to better view the spine and see the extent of the damage.
What Are The Treatments For Spondylolisthesis?
The treatment for spondylolisthesis is based on the actual damage identified by the doctor, the pain and mobility problems that the patient is experiencing, and the overall severity of the condition. Rest is the first course of treatment as well as ceasing the physical activities that may have caused the damage in the first place.
Pain may be managed by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen. Acetaminophen may also be administered for pain.
Other treatments for spondylolisthesis include:
- Bracing
- Weight loss (if the person is obese or overweight)
- Physical therapy to strengthen the core
- Epidural steroid injections
- Surgery (in severe cases such as damage to the spinal cord or nerve root)
There are several types of surgery that may be used to treat spondylolisthesis. The surgeon may remove tissue or bone in order to relieve pressure on the nerves or spinal cord. Sometimes the doctor may opt for fusing the damaged bones into place so they can no longer slip. In some cases, both procedures are done. This type of treatment is usually a last resort because recovery can be lengthy and the patient will have to wear a back brace or cast while their back is healing.
Is Chiropractic Effective For Treating Spondylolisthesis?
Chiropractic is a drug-free, noninvasive treatment for spondylolisthesis. It is often a preferred treatment because the patient does not have to undergo painful surgery or take medication that could have undesirable side effects. There are three primary spinal manipulation techniques that may be used by the chiropractor:
- Spinal manipulation specific to the restricted or impaired joints
- Flexion-distraction technique which is a slow, gentle pumping action
- Instrument assisted manipulation uses an instrument to apply gentle force to the spine
Chiropractic care has been found to be very effective in treating this condition, but prevention is always the best course of action. Regular exercise, healthy weight management, and regular chiropractic visits can help ward off many spine related conditions including spondylolisthesis.

Holy Moses, you guys. The amount of laundry I got done today was ridiculous.
That's just what is on my bed. I had approximately 12 piles in the middle of being folded on my bedroom floor, too. The piles?
-Maria's jammies
-Alice's jammies
-Charlotte's jammies
-Jamie's Jammies
-(4) piles of undies
-Jamie's shirts
-(3) piles of shorts/pants
-pile of hanging up clothes
Oops, that's 13. 13 piles. Blech.
But after I dumped it all in my room, I had to make the kids breakfast.
After I went to get my Starbucks, of course. If Mama's not happy, nobody's happy. Fact.
I only serve healthy options in my home.
Check out my pantry and count how many organic things you find:
answer: very few. Does it look like we eat chili on a 3-times-a-week basis? I can't even tell you the last time we had chili. I think that must be part of Dan's camping stash.
I'm instantly regretting showing you that photo.
I made the kids their lunch…
…braided a few heads…
…and dropped the kids off at school.
Then Charlotte, Olive and I had a very formal playdate at the Pioneer Park fountain. I mean, I guess it's formal if you're wearing a FREAKING TUX SWIM SUIT!!!
I die. They are hysterically adorable.
They ate their lunch like good little monsters do.
It might look like they are eating fast food, but that's organic food that we prepared at home and put in fast food takeaway boxes. Because we don't throw things away that could be used again. Fast food for our little angels? Psh.
I was feeling extra lazy, so I put them in charge of the baby.
Oh, look…teamwork. Nice.
Charlotte's done. She's a nice friend.
Worst. Babysitters. Ever.
But they're pretty cute friends.
What's on tap for tomorrow?
Charlotte's going to Dawn's house and I'm quite excited. This mama needs some alone time…maybe by the pool…

NEW YORK--Oil futures fell Thursday for a second straight day on concerns that record-high U.S. supplies would overwhelm the capacity of refineries to process oil.
Light, sweet crude for June delivery settled down 32 cents, or 0.3%, at $99.42 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement price since March 25. Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange fell 31 cents, or 0.3%, to $107.76 a barrel, the lowest settlement since April 11.
Continue Reading Below
U.S. crude-oil supplies stood at 399.4 million barrels as of April 25, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
That was the highest since the EIA began keeping track of weekly storage levels in 1982. According to monthly data going back to 1920, supplies are at their highest since 1931.
Stockpiles have grown amid booming oil production and reduced demand while refineries undergo seasonal maintenance.
"There's plenty of oil around," said Jeffrey Grossman, president of BRG Brokerage in New York. "This market is working its way lower. It's on its way to $95 by mid-year, probably."
Prices fell as low as $98.74 a barrel in early trading before bouncing higher as traders who had bet on lower prices locked in their profits.
Some market watchers, still concerned that ongoing tensions between Russia and the West could lead to sanctions that crimp Russian oil exports, expected that prices couldn't fall much lower and decided to cash out their gains, said Gene McGillian, analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Conn.
Front-month June reformulated gasoline blendstock, or RBOB, settled down 2.56 cents, or 0.9%, to $2.9388 a gallon, the lowest settlement since April 7. June diesel fell 1.41 cents, or 0.5%, to $2.9140 a gallon, the lowest settlement since April 7.

The sun rolled out from behind the clouds for a mid-morning (10:30am!) start time out in Maryland at the Package-Handler-That-Supports-The-NRA Field, home of the Washington They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named Professional Football Team. Murat, Nick, Steven, and Geordie gave a reprise of their bachelor party 5K performance and joined me for the race!
Still dealing with my foot injuries, I wasn't sure what to expect for this race. My fitness doesn't feel great, but I hoped I could surprise myself run around a 6:15/mile pace.
The race was a small part of a much larger event to celebrate the NFL Draft. Why that is an event worth celebrating is beyond me.
That meant that there would be a lot of non-runners there and given last year's slow finish times, a 6:15/mile pace could make for a Top 5 Overall finish. Last year's winning time was peculiarly slow for a 5K….. I wonder why…..
Race Goals:
1) Don't reaggravate injury ✓/X
2) Run a 6:15/mile pace X/?
3) Finish top 5 X
Nick, Murat, and I arrived with plenty of time to check in. We knew that the course was an odd one, featuring a handful of switchbacks through the stadium parking lot before entering the stadium itself and finishing on the field:
What we didn't expect? The hilliest parking lot ever. Apparently, this part of Maryland borders the Eastern Himalayas because there was not a single part of the race that was not on some sort of incline and sideways slope.
Murat would be be going for the win… this threw him off.
We were soon joined by Geordie and Steven and had a good chunk of time to warm up. Nick enjoyed a carb-laden waffle and Steven pounded some Run Gum while we got on our gear and stretched.
We headed to the start… where we met our first obstacle. The start of the race funneled everyone through a giant inflatable football helmet. The 20-foot-wide starting line widdled down to about five feet wide. Great.
Couple that with a handful of overly-ambitious youngsters who jumped to the very front of the start line and it was a bit of a mess…. but wait! There's more!
Just before the start, the wife of the Washington They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named Professional Football Team's terrific owner, Dan Snyder, and a few of her friends (?) were placed in the very front to create a photo opportunity. It was decided that they would start the race too before trying to jet off to the side. Awesome.
The Race:
The gun fired, everyone crashed through the helmet and almost into a photographer who decided it would be a useful/safe idea to camp out in the very middle of the road just beyond the helmet-funnel, and finally we were off.
Murat jumped out with a pack at the front while I did my best not to trample any children and also not go out too fast. After a few too-tight turns, I saw about 12 folks ahead of me. I knew I could take a chunk of them who had definitely gone out too quickly.
It was clear that this course was going to be a mess. Several runners almost took a wrong turn early. It was unclear whether or not we were supposed to run inside or outside a set of cones. (Usually, you run outside).
At about a half-mile, a few runners faded.
I kept cruising. My GPS watched beeped one-mile a good deal ahead of where the 1-mile marker was placed: 5:58.
Much quicker than I had wanted… but I didn't feel too bad. Maybe I could chase a six-minute pace?
Mile two was hilly and I focused on using the uphill zigzags to pass runners who were fading. I tried to maintain a similar pace and did pretty well… at least, I thought I did. My watched beeped again: Mile two was 6:14. Okay, so there was a good deal of uphill there, not too bad.
….but the second mile marker was positioned a solid 30 seconds later. Maybe my GPS is just being screwy because of all the zigzagging?
One nice thing about the course was that I could see the entire field of runners. Murat was trading the lead with another runner and then left him behind a little ways into mile three. That fired me up.
I was feeling tired but reasonably strong. My foot was a bit uncomfortable but the pain was manageable at that pace.
I passed a few more runners, now knowing I was comfortably in the top 10. I felt like I could chase a sub-19min 5K (about 6:07/mile pace) as we approached the entrance to the stadium.
I look at my watch: 18:24. Hmm. That's slow.
Nobody is within 40m of me and I'm a good 30m behind the nearest runner. I have some energy and can pick it up for a final kick, perhaps enough to catch that runner if he begins to show sign of fatigue. We must be near the finish line, right?
We navigate through the stadium and I assume we'll soon turn onto the turf for a final sprint. We keep going. This isn't what it said on the course map…
Instead, we have to loop down and around several long walking-ramps underneath the stadium. My watch says I've passed the 19min barrier and there is definitely quite a bit left to run. Suddenly dawns on me: This course has been measured wrong.
Knowing that I can't break 19 minutes, I focus on not getting passed and I cruise through the last bit of the race. We finally emerge through the tunnel and onto the field. The finish line is just ahead and the clock ticks past 20 minutes.
I'm tried, clearly. But not exhausted.
I see Murat ahead: he won!
He is pleased with the win but understandably frustrated. "That course was definitely long."
I look at my watch: it confirms our suspicions. We calculate that the course was potentially as much as one-fifth of a mile too long.
Well, that sucks.
Still – I'm pretty pleased with how I ran and insanely psyched that Murat was finally the Overall First Male! He ran a tactically perfect race – not letting the leader get ahead, not letting the hills get to him, and taking off when the time was right before shutting it down with plenty of room to spare.
My finish was good for 6th/1742! Steven and Geordie ran strong, tough races and finished within striking distance of one another at 28th/29th in the men's category (out of 843 men, 34/36 overall out of 1742). Nick started out too fast but still managed to hang on for a solid 28:50 (equivalent to a 13:21 for an actual 5K distance…).
We stuck around for a bit to watch Murat collect his award and snap some photos.
Overall, we were quite annoyed with the course (even if it had been the correct distance, the course was miserable). Still, the event was a decent sign for my fitness and goal of running next week's 10K in sub-40 and it was all worth it to see Murat crash the tape.
Very pleased that Nick, Geordie, Steven, and Murat were able to join me… but I probably won't be running this race again.

Delhi Bunts – Ladies Wing
Ladies Club of the Delhi Bunts
The ladies club of the Delhi Bunts started about Aug-Sept 1980 with close to 15 members. The wives of the committee members were meeting for the various Bunt Association get together and they decided to meet during the day along with the children sans husbands.
The thought was that as they were away from their native land this would help keep the culture and language alive for their children and self.
Thus began the club wherein several activities were undertaken to raise funds for the betterment of the Bunt community. For 18 years the enterprising Bunt ladies of Delhi did Annual Cultural Events with cultural show and food-the commendable part is that not only did the ladies put up the show with their children participating in it but they cooked the food for the event too. The funds collected from these events have been gainfully used for the Delhi Bunts Cultural Associations acquisition of the Surya Vihar Flat and for other philanthropic interests.
In the 10th year of it's existence the socially responsible Bunt ladies of Delhi started with their scholarship programme-the recipient of this are 3 deserving and needy students from Mangalore. The programme is open to students of middle school up to College. There have been at least 3 weddings for which the ladies have helped monetarily.
Several of the picnics, Diwali & Ugaadi celebrations have been handled by the ladies wing-right from organizing and working it out successfully. Many a pilgrimages have been organized to Vaishno Devi and Ajmer by the club.
Some of the best features of the ladies club are:
- No hierarchy
- Children have benefitted immensely
- Close knit group-the feeling of family-always there to support each other
- Tulu language encouraged always
- Wives of Bank employees have benefitted as they found a family away from home.
Some of the present day members in the ladies club are the ones who were part of the inception, that is proof of how they feel about this 32 years long association. When quipped they said, "we look forward to the monthly meeting as we did 32 years ago!"
