As the center of Myanmar's first civilization, Bagan was founded in AD 1044 on the banks of the Ayeyarwaddy River, and is located about 683 km north of Yangon. Bagan is also the first capital of unified Myanmar under King Anawratha, and the extent of the Bagan Empire roughly represents the political boundaries of present day Myanmar. King Anawratha is also said to be the founder of Theravada Buddhism in Myanmar, and he constructed thousands of stupas and pagodas during his time, many of which were built in Mon architecture.
The reason being that, just one year after King Anawratha's conversion to Theravada Buddhism in AD 1056, he went to war against the Mon town of Thaton in order to gain possession of holy Buddhist scripts called the Tripitaka (The Three Baskets of Buddhism). The holy Buddhist scripts were not the only trophies that were seized from the war; the Burmese army also took approximately 30,000 Mons as prisoners. Among the prisoners were numerous craftsmen and artisans who in following decades not only enriched but even went as far to determine Bagan's culture and style of architecture.
In AD 1287, the 250 year long Bagan dynasty came to an end in the hands of the Mongols sent by Kublia Khan. Today, as one of the richest archaeological sites in Southeast Asia, once hosting over 13,000 structures, there are some 2200 monuments along with other ruins that can be still found. Over the years, both man and nature, particularly earthquakes (such as the one that occurred in 1975), have degraded several pagodas, stupas and shrines; however, the most important monuments have been restored to their original grandeur. Bagan is currently placed in the tentative list to qualify as a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
There are daily flights to Bagan from Yangon, Mandalay or Heho (Taunggyi). Flight duration from Yangon to Bagan would be around 1 hour and 20 minutes, and flights from Heho and Mandalay would take less than 30 minutes. Driving 8 hours from Yangon to Bagan, enjoying a serene view of semi-developed Burmese countryside, is also a possibility. Distance from other destinations such as Mandalay and Taunggyi is around 320 km and would take approximately 7 hours to drive. There are also regular trains between Bagan and Mandalay; this route to Bagan was unveiled in September 1996. Another railway route would be the express trains from Yangon to Mandalay which stops at a station in Thazi, and from Thazi it is only a 3 hour drive to Bagan. Apart from land, air and train, there are also means to get to Bagan by water. A double-decker steamer service between Mandalay and Bagan is available, and there are also other cruises such The Road to Mandalay, RV Pandaw, and Irrawaddy Princess that go to Bagan.
Although, Bagan is part of the dry zone, and is considered as one of Myanmar's most arid region for insignificant annual rainfall, the soil in the Bagan is fertile enough for rice and other crops to flourish due to irrigation systems that were set in place since the First Burmese Empire. It is common to witness villagers travelling along the road with loads of goods either carried by small motorcycles, tractors (locally called taw-lah-gyi) or by oxen cart. Along the way there are several groves of toddy palm trees, and locals climb these trees to harvest toddy fruits for its alcohol-like liquid called 'tan-ye' which is found in the fruit. Compared to the past, Toddy groves are now a permanent fixture beside the road. Several Toddy shacks can be found amongst the groves, and they act as temporary shelter for people who climb toddy plants to harvest the fruits upon request. Visitors are often encouraged to try some of this tropical booze-like juice. Apart from toddy juice, cooking Jaggery is a major cottage industry in the region. Several Neem trees can also be found, but they are primarily used by people as shade from the scorching sun.
Typical dry zone crops like maize, chilies, pulses, sesame, onions and groundnuts replace much of the paddy plants in this region. Roads are often engulfed by clouds of dust that arise from bullock carts travelling in the dirt beside the main road. It is common for visitors to see groups of women siting under a huge shade, away from their village engaged in spinning cotton using traditional spinning wheels.
10 km northeast from a place called Kyaukpadaung lies Mt. Popa which is an extinct volcano and also the highest landmark in the central dry zone, rising up to 1,518 m. Established as a National Park, the Popa Mountain Park is home to various species of exquisite flora, especially plants with medicinal purposes. It is a prime location for Nat(Angle) worship and pilgrims annualy flood into the region for the Festival of Spirits held in during the months of Nayon (May / June). The road then stretch northwest towards Nyaung Oo for about 50 Kilometers, running through sandy streambeds, low hills, and denuded vegetation until finally, the many stupas and shrines of Bagan are visible.
The main gate of the eastern wall, only left out of the twelve gates of the wall of the city which king Pyinbya established in 849 AD. The Tharaba Gate stands as a replica of the once prosperous civilization at the heart of Myanmar.
The Ananda Temple was completed in AD 1091 by King Kyanzittha, and its name means 'endless wisdom', symbolizing the wisdom of Buddha. The entire temple is designed as a square with four protruding antechambers acting as an entrance to the temple from each direction. Inside the temple stands four 31 feet tall Buddha statue representing the four previous Buddhas, and each statue is positioned facing one of the four cardinal compass points. On the western porch two of Buddha's footprints can be found mounted on a pedestal stand. In Bagan, the Ananda Temple is known to be the mother of all temples, containing works that represent the arts, architecture, glazed plaques, woodcarvings, stuccos, terra cotta and stone sculptures found in all temples around Myanmar.
Lying at over 66 meters high, this white stucco temple built by King Alaungsithu in the middle of the 12th century, and it is by far the highest pagoda found on the Bagan plain.
Standing on a high brick plinth, this temple was built by King Alaungsithu in AD 1131. The arch pediments, pilasters, plinth and cornice mouldings are decorated with fine stucco carvings which act as a representation of 12th Century Myanmar architecture.
This temple was built by King Narapatisithu during the 12th century and lies about 60 meters high. This temple provides an iconic view over the ruins of the Bagan as well as the ancient Ayeyarwaddy River.
This temple was built in the 13th century and carries a spire resembling the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya, India. This temple is well known for its wall paintings that depict scenes from the Jatakas (life stories of the Buddha).
This temple was named 'Payathonzu' because there are three pagodas of the same size, appearance and height built on the same plinth. It is adorned with paintings of the 550 Jataka (life stories of Buddha) stories and ten other depictions plus small Thambuddhay figures. The frescoes and the architecture are roughly guessed to be from late 13th century.
The Mahabohdi temple was erected during the reign of Nadaungmya from 1211 AD to 1234 AD. It is modelled after the original Mahabodhi temple which can be found in Bodh Gaya, India. The structure is 140 feet high, made with brick and whitewashed stucco. The temple is characterized by a large square pyramidal tower that is topped by a conical spire and a ritual umbrella.
Built in 1211 AD by King Nadaungmya, the Htilominlo is one of the largest temples in Bagan. It is a two-level structure that is about 50 meters high. This temple is mainly noted for its fine plaster carvings on the arch pediments, frieze and pilaster.
Construction for The Shwezigon Pagoda was started by King Anawrahta but completed by his son King Kyansittha, and acted as a prototype for all pagoda that were later built in Myanmar. Shwezigon is Bagan's biggest and one of the most significant pagodas in all of Myanmar. It also is one of the most respected pagodas in Myanmar as it contains Buddha's tooth, collarbone and frontlet bone. The golden-bell shaped stupa arises from five surrounding terraces, and night the lights are reflected off the stupa providing an alluring spectacle. There are also other smaller stupas that .can be observed at the corners for the terraces There are also small square temples located on all four sides of the stupa, all of which houses a standing bronze image of Buddha. Green glazed plaques depicting scenes from the Jatakas can also be found within the confines of the stupa. The pagoda annually hosts a traditional festival which is held from late October till early November.
At first glance, this pagoda looks extremely similar to the Shwezigon pagoda; however, it is unusual for its pentagonal terraces instead of the usual square ones. At the top of the receding terraces lies a massive bell-shaped dome lined with ornate Jataka images. There are five small temples laid out on all five sides of the pagoda that were built with their own distinctive architectural characteristics, complete with their own entrance porch, terraces and curvilinear spires.
Standing on the brink of the Ayeyarwaddy River, the Bupaya Pagoda is a conspicuous landmark for visitors travelling along the river. This pagoda sporting a bulbous dome resembling the ''Bu'' or a gourd is a favourite spot for visitors wanting to enjoy witnessing a spectacular sunset.
The museum, run by Archaeological Department of Myanmar, is situated near the Gawdawpalin Temple. It has a collection of more than 2,000 items including Buddha statues, stucco pieces, terra-cotta and other ancient artefact. The museum is open daily except on Mondays and public holidays.
Mingalazedi was the last pagoda that was built during the Bagan dynasty. It was built by King Narathihapatae (1256-1287 AD). The construction started in 1268 AD, but before its completion a prophecy arose that "once the pagoda is finished, the Kingdom would be destroyed". King Narathihapatae therefore stopped the construction for 6 years. However he decided to complete the pagoda in 1274 AD. Merely ten years later, King Narathihapatae had to flee from Bagan in order to escape from the invading Mongols.
This graceful pagoda was built by King Anawratha after his conquest of Thanton in AD 1057. The pagoda sports an octagonal base and a set of stairs that rise to the top, cutting through each of the five terraces. The highest terrace of Shwesandaw Pagoda has become a popular view point for sunsets over the years.
One Bagan's biggest temples, built in AD 1163 by king Narathu, Dhammanyangyi temple is noted for its fine brickwork. the bricks are fitted so closely together that there is hardly any space in between the cinder blocks for light to pass through.
The Sulamani (occasionally Sulamuni) Guphaya, or Pahto, is one of Bagan's premier attractions. The name itself means Crowning Jewel or Small Ruby. It was the first and most important temple that was built towards the end of the late Bagan dynasty (1170-1300 AD) by King Narapatisithu. Architecturally, this temple is similar to Htilominlo and the Gawdawpalin, but Sulamani was designed for exceptional interior lighting through various skylights and large open archways. Other important features of the Sulamani include its fine brickwork and use of stone in both load-bearing areas as well as in external corner elements. The interior was once painted with fine frescoes but only dim traces from the past can be seen today.
In 1057 AD, King Anawrahta returned victorious from his conquest in Mon and brought the captive King Manuha to live in Myinkaba. By 1059 AD, King Manuha had built himself a two storey tall white temple to convey a subtle melancholic message. The three Buddhas built within the confines are extremely large compared to their enclosure and act as a metaphor to illustrate his captivity and mental stress. The facial expressions of the two seated Buddha images are grim, and that of the one reclining, on the other hand, is smiling and serene. The Buddha faces north and acts as a symbolism of Nirvana and release from the transitory World.
Located slightly south of Myinkaba, this elegant and well-preserved temple was built by King Kyanzittha during the 12th century. Within the temple itself, the central shrine contains a huge standing image of the Buddha with two smaller images flanking the main one. A corridor paved with green glazed stones runs around the central shrine and can prove to be a relaxing walk. Dim light comes into the temple through the perforated windows of the outer walls, and the walls itself depict stone sculptures of previous Buddhas before Gautama Buddha. Like paintings that are found in several temples and monuments scenes from the Jatakas can also be observed on the walls of the Nagayon Temple.
Salay is a town in Magwe Division lying on the east bank of the Ayeyaerwaddy River. This town is famous for three things: firstly it is the birthplace of a reputed Myanmar playwright U Ponnya of the late Konbaung Period, secondly the plums of Salay are seedless and incredibly delicious, and thirdly Salay is home to the largest lacquered wickerwork image of Buddha standing 18 feet high. The image today is entirely engulfed with gilt (thin gold layer) and its headband is adorned with glass mosaic. Although, it bears the appearance of solid metal, two or three people can lift it up with ease.
Mt. Popa is said to be the core of an extinct volcano with an altitude of about 1500 meters above sea level. It is also known as the oasis of the central Myanmar since central Myanmar is essentially a dry zone. The mountain is to be home to the most powerful Nats ( spirits/angles) and considered to be the prime pilgrimage destinations for Nat worship. Mt. Popa hosts two major Nangletpwe (spirit festival), one in the May/June and other in November / December where spirit possession and overall drunken ecstasy are parts of the celebration.
Although, Buddhism has been the established as the religion of Myanmar, spirit/angle worship or animism is also practiced. In the Burmese spirit world there are thirty-seven Nats, many of whom are supposedly the spirits of ancient heroes that have been killed. There are several different kinds of Nats such as: Nats of the house, the river, the air and the jungle. Ritual dancing assisted by drinking local alcohol that puts the person into a trance-like state is believed to bring the individual in contact with these supernatural beings. Offerings to the Nats usually include fruits (typically an arrangement of a fresh green coconut and some bananas) and flowers. Although, people today are more sceptical about such beliefs, there are several people in Myanmar who still acknowledge various Nats for blessing them with luck in business, good health and so forth.
Pakkokku lies on the western bank of the Ayeyarwady River across Bagan. This port city is an agriculturally rich hinterland situated between the two great rivers; Ayeyarwady and Chindwin. The city is well known for its quality tobacco production. From Bagan, Pakokku is about a 45 minute ferry ride. Travelling by a local bus to Pakokku is also a fun and culturally enriching experience since the scenery includes the daily lives of locals and a little known archaeological site called Pakhangyi. Some of the town's local attractions include the walls of Pakokku, the Pakokku museum and a spectacular 19th century wooden monastery. Pakkoku is also a gate way to the scenic Mt. Victoria and into the realms of the Southern Chin State.
Sameikkon is a delightful village isolated from the world to be reached only by water. In British colonial times Sameikkon used to be a wealthy trading post. However, today all that is left of its legacy are a number of splendid mansions that once used to belong to merchants. The local monastery is connected with a wonderful network of teak footbridges and is one of the main attractions of the village.
Yandabo is a small village that is rarely visited since there are no land roads that lead to the area. The survival of the village solely depends on the revere economy that it gains from the production of terracotta pottery that is created using mud from nearby river banks. Various stages and types of pottery making can be observed there. Yandabo is also a historical place since it is where the Treaty of Yandabo was signed in 1855 between the Burmese king and the British colonists. Yandabo today acts as a center of pottery production.
I'd like to tell you that we had a wonderful time in Myanmar and all travel arrangements were perfect...

The Ladies of Hades Picture
If there's one thing I always liked about Hades and Persephone, it's that Hades was actually pretty faithful to her. While there is the story of Minthe, that is often seen as "almost" affair instead of an actual affair as Persephone took action quite early and turned her into a plant before Hades actually did anything. And like many stories, whether anything really happened depends on which version you go with. But anyway, onto who these lovely ladies are.Continue Reading: Figures
The first is Leuke, who in my story dealing with the Titanomachy in which the original six Olympians are warring with their father Cronos for pretty much control of the world, is Hades's first love. Unlike his brothers, who move from one sexual conquest to the next, Hades is more discerning with who he chooses to love and trust. His relationship with Leuke is rather sweet and loving and does go on for quite a while during the story. Like him, she is rather reserved, but also more open and willing to be around other people. She is compassionate and understanding, and knows when it is words or comforting silence that is needed. Hades would sacrifice much to protect her and even has plans to make her his wife when the war is over. However, those dreams are crushed when she is killed. And thus, Hades has an even stronger reason to fight than before. Her memory continues to linger with him for many years afterward.
You know those relationships that we look back on and wonder "Wait, I'm a fairly smart person. Why the hell did I go out with him/her? What was I thinking?". Okay, maybe I've never asked myself that as I've never dated, but still, those sorts of relationships definitely happen. That is Minthe to Hades. She's that relationship Hades most often tries to forget ever happened. She appears in my story Spring and Shadow, which is my spin on the Hades and Persephone myth. In my version, she's sort of an ex-girlfriend of Hades, one of the few times he allowed himself to have a relationship. However, she turned out to be a bit of a manipulative nightmare. Hades admits it was one of the few times he thought with his cock instead of his head. He still questions what he ever saw in her sometimes, especially since she still shows up in his life from time to time until Persephone turns her into a plant (still figuring out how to play that out in the story).
And finally, the girl that finally got the God of the Underworld, Persephone/Kore. Given the name Persephone at birth by the Fates, but called Kore by her mother, Demeter, Persephone has lived her entire life under her mother's overbearingly watchful eye. Wanting to become more independent (and also to prove she's more than a child to a certain god of the underworld who she had the misfortune to try and strike up a conversation with), Persephone leaves home to establish a following amongst mortals. A few years later, she returns, much to her mother's relief. And it is then that she catches the eye of Hades, who sees her now as a woman and falls for her. And thus their story of him kidnapping her and making her his queen of the Underworld begins.

Since its inception in 2002 HostGator has been a leader in the world of web hosting, offering a wide array of products, services and packages to meet the needs of anyone wanting a website. From the first customer, HostGator has added almost half a million customers with five million domains that range from the smallest family site to the largest Fortune 500 company. With the variety of services and option that HostGator offers, the pricing covers a wide range. Despite this, businesses and individuals alike will find that the invaluable services are amazingly affordable. To make their web hosting services even more attractive, the company offers promotions and coupon codes to allow new customers even easier access to high-quality web hosting. A website can be a powerful resource for anyone trying to expand the reach of their company or gain exposure for an upcoming event or fundraiser. With millions plugging in to the internet every day, a website gives unparalleled opportunity for growth and success.
HostGator promotions take the already competitively-priced customizable plans offered and make them even less expensive as an incentive for new users to try out HostGator services and see what huge benefits can come from having a well-designed, well-maintained website. While the company offers packages customized to various programs such as Linux and Windows, the basic services are divided into three core plans. These plans are separated by degree of features so that each user can be assured his plan is the perfect one for his needs and situation. The first plan is the Hatchling. This plan is intended for individuals or small organizations and businesses. It includes one domain along with the unlimited bandwidth and disk space available standard on all hosting plans. This plan can be purchased for less than $4 per month using the current promotion that offers 20% off the first invoice of new customers. The next plan is directed toward larger organizations. Called the Baby plan, it offers unlimited domains. The price ranges from slightly more than $6 to just under $8 per month using the promotional price. The Business plan, the most comprehensive of the plans, features a dedicated SSL and IP as well as a toll-free number along with the other unlimited resources. With a price tag as low as just over $10, this plan is an incredible value.
The 20% discount is only one of several promotions HostGator offers its new customers. Another popular money-saving move, especially if you are interested in trying out having a website before making a bigger commitment, is to take advantage of the one cent coupon code. This coupon allows you to try the Baby plan for a month for only a penny. These promotions are a great way to try out HostGator web hosting services at a dramatically reduced cost. Taking advantage of these promotions, and the special ones that are sometimes found through coupon affiliate programs, gives new users access to the full range of useful features offered by HostGator, including the web building software and templates that help you create a professional-looking site, at a price so low even the smallest organization can afford to utilize the exposure and opportunities of the internet.

What's your Misery Score? You know, from the Winter Misery Index. If you live somewhere that hasn't been pummeled by cold, ice, wind and snow…then I hope you're happy. (And please, eat some ice cream for the rest of us.)
As of today, my Misery Score is 188. That's also roughly the number of bowls of soup I've eaten in my attempt to survive this winter. Brothy Mushroom Soup with Greens has been my go-to recipe. It's my vegetarian version of chicken soup. It's full of good things like ginger and chili that taste great and keep me going.
(P.S. This weather may be making me slightly overdramatic. Just slightly.)
Vegetarian Mushroom Soup with Greens Recipe
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 package (10 ounces) fresh crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cups water
1 pound sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchstick pieces
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 to 2 tablespoons tamari (soy sauce)
2 to 3 handfuls baby hearty greens (such as Power Greens with kale, spinach and chard)
Sambal oelek chili sauce
In a large (5-quart) pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 3 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms, jalapeno and garlic; cook and stir 5 to 8 minutes until mushrooms have cooked down and released their juices.
Add water, sweet potatoes, ginger and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Stir in tamari. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Add the greens to the pot. Give the soup a quick stir to wilt the greens.
Serve each bowl of soup with a small spoonful of sambal oelek chili sauce (or another chile sauce). I don't consider this ingredient optional…I consider it the finishing touch that makes this soup work. Don't skip it!
Makes about 6 cups soup

About Fiscal Sponsorship

Project Review Criteria
Processing Donations
Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement
About Fiscal Sponsorship
Fiscal Sponsorship is used primarily when a non-profit film or film-related project or event wants to secure funding from individual, foundation, government or corporate sources that give only to nonprofit organizations with IRS tax-exempt status. To be considered exempt, an organization must hold a current 501(c)(3) certificate from the IRS.
Rather than attempt to secure tax-exempt status, individual filmmakers may contract with a fiscal sponsor to extend tax-exempt status to that specific project. As a Fiscal Sponsor, The Film Collaborative serves as a conduit for financial resources, and provides some support and oversight for independently produced film projects.
TFC's Fiscal Sponsorship program provides financial services, competitive administrative fees, and the dependability of working with an established filmmaker support organization.
As the Fiscal Sponsor for your project, TFC does not take any ownership of your project. We do not interfere on your creative vision or control, copyright, or prevent you from future sales or profit from your project. Our primary role is to assure that the money you raise is being properly dispersed and used for the project as intended.
TFC charges an administrative fee for funds granted through our Fiscal Sponsorship program. This 5% fee covers the cost of running the program, managing donations to your project, including bookkeeping, check distribution, reporting to funders, website, etc. The admin fee will be higher for some government grants.

Spotlight on Ryan Smyth: The former Av might be nearing the end of the line. He has only eight points (two goals) in 24 games. That said, he remains a fierce competitor and very smart player at age 37.
Smyth played from 2007-09 with the Avs, posting 96 points in 132 games.
Avalanche: The team did not practice Monday. … The Avs have won five consecutive games at home and are 8-2-1 overall at home. … Semyon Varlamov, expected to start in goal, has started all 11 games at home for the Avs. … P.A. Parenteau has a six-game point streak (two goals, eight assists). … Winger Chuck Kobasew needs one assist for 100 in his career. … Colorado's 440 blocked shots lead the NHL. Greg Zanon leads the team with 70, ranking third in the league.
Oilers: Edmonton, after losing 6-0 on Friday to Nashville, went into Chicago on Saturday and beat the Blackhawks 6-5 to pin a second loss in a row on the former streaking team. … Oilers regular goalie Devan Dubnyk had to leave the Chicago game early with an injury. His status for Tuesday is unknown.

Rep. Chris Stewart (UT-02), issued the following statement after President Obama gave his 2013 State of the Union address:
"Tonight, President Obama addressed our country with an aggressive speech, laying out his liberal agenda. While I may not have agreed with much of his speech, he is right about one thing--we need to work together to cut spending and spur our economy. He encouraged the nation to work together to find solutions to decrease the deficit and find fiscal sanity. It's critical that we find bi-partisan solutions. Unfortunately, President Obama didn't offer a concrete plan to an economic recovery, and his past approaches have not been effective."
"There are still 22.7 million Americans that are unemployed or underemployed. $5.9 trillion has been added to the national debt since the President took office. The sequestration, which may cause devastating budgets cuts at the end of the month, was in fact proposed by the President himself as part of the 2011 debt deal. House Republicans are committed to get spending under control. And we have long said there's a better way to cut spending than the proposed sequestration."
"My hope for this year is that we grow the economy, expand opportunity and prosperity, and ensure that America maintains its leading role in the world with a strong national defense. To do that, we need to budget and spend responsibly. I hope President Obama follows through with his promises of bi-partisanship. We need him to show leadership. We've all heard the flowery speeches in the past, but at the end of the day we need more than just speeches to turn our nation around. We need the President to demonstrate an understanding of the nation's need to balance our budget and get us on a path to fiscal sanity."

Michael Snow did just about everything one needs to do to survive in the wild — he ate bugs, slept in puddles and got over his fear of snakes.
But he never became a good liar, which, as any viewer will tell you, is the true key to survival on the CBS show "Survivor."
The Maine native was seen being voted off the latest edition of the reality show on Wednesday night, ending his quest to beat out 19 other "Survivor" castaways for the show's $1 million prize.
Snow, who grew up in Cumberland, lasted 25 days on the beaches of the Caramoan Islands in the Philippines, longer than nine other players.
Wearing a bandana and a scraggly beard, Snow was seen in Wednesday's episode trying to sway other players to his side by preaching male solidarity.
"Wouldn't it be cool if the men could dominate this?" he said, while talking to other players beneath a waterfall.
But in the end, what did Snow in was that he was a fan of the show.
This season's edition of "Survivor" started out with "fans" competing against "favorites," people who had been on "Survivor" before.
The favorites, having been on the show before, knew the importance of lying, and to the right people, in trying to influence votes.
So by Wednesday's episode there were only four fans left, against seven favorites.
And while other players were seen on camera lying to each other and pretending to remain loyal to everyone, Snow didn't concoct stories about other players or act like he was allied with people he wasn't loyal to.
Near the beginning of the episode, the leaders of the fans and the favorites groups were seen trying to finagle enough votes to vote off the other group's leader. But when those efforts failed, players were seen talking about making a "safe" vote by voting off Snow.
They knew he didn't have enough votes on his side to protect him.
It didn't help Snow that he didn't do well in the various immunity challenges, where players could win the right to be safe during a vote.
The immunity challenge on Wednesday's episode involved players staying in the water for more than an hour as the tide rose and eventually submerged them.
Snow was seen struggling to keep his mouth and nose out of the water. He outlasted about half the competitors.
Snow, 44, is a graduate of Greely High School and the University of Maine now living in New York.
He tried out for the show several times before landing a spot on "Survivor: Caramoan," which was filmed on beaches of tropical islands in the Philippines last year.
The shows he appeared on began airing in February.
He wasn't available for comment Wednesday night, but Snow said in an interview earlier this year he enjoyed all aspects of his time on the show and the challenges it presented.
"The game, the challenges, sleeping on a beach, going out in the canoe, being afraid of seeing snakes — all the time," wrote Snow, in an email approved by CBS publicists. "Rats jumping on me at night, that was freaky, but a part of the experience. It was everything I'd hoped. I was looking for a challenge and an adventure, boy did I find them."
In each episode of "Survivor," teams of castaways come together to compete in challenges, hoping to win immunity before the next tribal council so they won't be voted off and sent home.
Snow is an event planner who has lived in Atlanta, Chicago and New York, and comes to Maine often to visit his parents, brother and two sisters and their families.
As a native Mainer, he was hoping to follow in the footsteps of Bob Crowley, a high school physics teacher, now retired, from South Portland, who won the show's top prize in 2008.
Crowley was 57 at the time, and won by using a combination of typical Maine skills — he remained fairly quiet, and he took his time to figure out problems instead of always rushing to act.

I make butter regularly using instructions found on page 12 of the Australian Thermomix Cookbook: Everyday Cooking… for Every Family. (I recommend asking your Thermomix consultant to order this very useful book.) But — many readers of this blog don't yet own a Thermomix and are researching the machine's potential before purchasing one. For this reason I'm including the book's recipe here — and also for those who simply do not have access to this book.
If you haven't already tried it, making your own butter with Thermomix is ridiculously easy and fast. And this home-made butter recipe allows for you to make healthier unsalted butter for your family. Once the basic butter is made you can blend it with healthier oils and flavours to suit your family's needs and tastes. Try it — you'll love it!
Thermomix (Unsalted) Butter — Easy and fast!
500 – 600 g. (17.6 – 21.2 oz) chilled fresh cream (I use 'whipping cream' with 33% fat content)
500 g. (17.6 oz) cold water
- Place butterfly into Thermomix.
- Add cream and blend for 1-3 minutes on speed 4 to separate (You will know when it has separated because the Thermomix will start to 'thump' a bit as the milk solids slap around inside.)
- Once separated, strain the buttermilk and remove the butterfly. (see below for a tip about using buttermilk)
- Add the cold water to bowl and mix for 5-10 seconds on speed 4.
- Strain liquid again through the basket and you are left with butter!
- At this point, further blending with additional healthy Omega-rich oils will add a golden colour and will keep it softer in the fridge — not to mention the nutritional advantages.
- Keeps for about two weeks in the fridge because home-made butter contains to additives or preservatives.
about using buttermilk: Don't discard your buttermilk! There are many ways to use it. Thermomix consultant Mara from Chile uses buttermilk for baking, but there are even more interesting ideas for how to use leftover buttermilk.

MEADOW LAKE, N.M. (KRQE) – A 15-year-old Meadow Lake boy accused of killing his 12-year-old friend has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
Brandon Villalobos is accused of killing Alex Madrid and leaving his body under a mattress in a Meadow Lake field.
On Friday, prosecutors announced Villalobos would be charged as an adult, even though his attorney and mother say he is developmentally delayed and doesn't understand what is going on.
Villalobos was with 12-year-old Alex Madrid the night Madrid went missing in February. Investigators said he admitted to hitting the boy once during an argument when Madrid said something about Villalobos' 4-month-old baby.

All That We Share: A Field Guide to the Commons is a wake-up call that will inspire you to see the world in a new way. As soon as you realize that some things belong to everyone—water, for instance, or the Internet or human knowledge— you become a commoner, part of a movement that's reshaping how we will solve the problems facing us in the twenty-first century.
The commons movement is emerging as people from all walks of life—web savvy young people, urban organizers, communities throughout the global South, advocates and concerned citizens everywhere—find the commons a powerful tool for making a better world. It represents a shift from "me" to "we" that will transform modern society.
Award winning author and OntheCommons.org editor Jay Walljasper with others from On The Commons have created an indispensable introduction to the commons today. In his Foreword to All That We Share, author and activist Bill McKibben states "The commons is a crucial part of the human story that must be recovered if we are to deal with the problems now crowding in on us."
Download a sample chapter of the book. >>click here!
All That We Share covers the full spectrum of the commons around the world from water and Wikipedia to streets and public spaces. It delves into the serious threats to our commons and but also highlights new, hopeful strategies being developed to reclaim what is rightly ours and documents success stories from communities around the globe.
What others are saying:
"I have been studying the commons for several decades now; to my surprise and delight this wonderful book taught me many things I didn't know. Jay Walljasper has done us all a great favor." –Lewis Hyde, author, The Gift and Common as Air
"Bubbling with ideas and inspiration for creating neighborhoods and nations where everyone, not just a wealthy few, can enjoy the resources—and opportunities—that by right and reason truly belong to us all." – Sam Pizzigati, editor, Too Much
"An important book that is coming at just the right time. This is a book that makes you think. And then it will show you how the commons can be saved, both locally and nationally." – Moshe Adler, author, Economics for the Rest of Us
All That We Share chapters include: What is the Commons, Why the Commons Matters Today, Politics and Social Justice, What We Can Do to Restore the Commons and more.

WIth the first week behind us now, it definitely feels "business as usual" running the gym. We are all looking forward to what the future has in store for us, and where the gym goes. We have many ideas, and are receiving new ones everyday! As long as we are the baddest mofo gym in the west valley I'm cool with it…
After a long night and a late morning, I forgot to grab the camera battery off of the charger, so needless to say we will be short a few pictures today. We had some great efforts around the gym, the hard gainers class threw some weight around, the 3, 5 and 6pm classes all ran and squatted their hearts away.
I do have one picture from my phone which seems fitting after this three day cycle,

Dont forget, tomorrow at 9am is our free Intro to CrossFit class, bring your friends and family!

Jean Pearmain Endowment Fund
Purpose: The purpose of this fund is to purchase equipment for ALS patients.
Donors: North Central Island Chapter of the ALS Society of BC and friends.
Prior to retirement, Jean Pearmain was a neurological nurse. She worked with neurologists that specialize in ALS including Dr. Andrew Eisen. Since that time, she served as director on the ALS Society board of directors and volunteered with her husband Gord tirelessly for over 9 years.
At any given time Jean provided support to up to 30 ALS patients living in the North Central Vancouver Island region. She maintained an equipment storage locker and in many cases she and her husband Gord delivered the equipment themselves. Jean conducted home visits and coordinated the Nanaimo monthly ALS support group.
The Pearmains participated in the Walk for ALS and Jean has acted as an escort for the On a Roll for ALS. Gord drove the support vehicle and Jean rode her bike next to the ALS roller.
The Executive of the North Central Island Chapter have worked to achieve a significant revenue surplus and decided to honour the dedication of the Pearmains by establishing an Endowment Fund in their name.

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. is committed to working closely with librarians to create collections of content that fulfill the informational needs of institutions while providing excellent value.
New Rochelle, NY, September 24, 2013—Highly deformable materials are now being engineered to create soft robots that can interact safely with humans and other living systems. But this rapidly advancing field requires more than high-tech materials. Innovation and breakthroughs in a variety of scientific disciplines will be essential, and experts representing these diverse fields participated in a lively and provocative Roundtable Discussion on the future promise and current challenges of soft robots, published in Soft Robotics (SoRo), a new peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available on the Soft Robotics website.
The insightful Roundtable Discussion, entitled "At the Crossroads: Interdisciplinary Paths to Soft Robots," brings together leading researchers in various fields necessary for the successful development, integration, and application of this complex technology. The participants describe the state of the field and predict what are likely to be among the first and highly successful applications of soft robot technology: health care and biomedical engineering (for example, to treat patients with heart failure or paralysis, or to improve prosthetic limbs); gaming and entertainment; human-machine interfaces; and shape-changing structures (such as advanced airplane wing designs).
Leading the discussion was Moderator Barry A. Trimmer, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Soft Robotics. Participants in the Roundtable included Randy H.

The Green Moms Get Dirty with Coal. It's the Next Carnival!
So what's up with the Green Moms? Recovered from doing our very best to celebrate the holidays with Greener Traditions and ring in the New Year with Green Resolutions, we're setting our sights on coal. Sure, we've blogged about climate change before. We kicked off the carnival back in August '08 with this carnival about climate change, before tackling it again and yet again.
But this time we're getting down and dirty – we'll be talking about coal in our next carnival on February 8th. Oh, maybe some of us will cover the promise of "clean coal," but it's still dirty.
For most of us, coal is an abstraction. Many of the @GreenMoms live in or near big cities like San Francisco, Minneapolis, New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Portland, and elsewhere. But for some of us, coal is a real life, every day presence, like it is for Lisa of Retro Housewife Goes Green, who hails from Oklahoma and who proposed the topic of this month's carnival. She'll be hosting the carnival on February 8th.
As Lisa explains, "Coal is a big issue to me in part because a year or so ago I learned we have a lot of coal ming a few hours east of me that is killing a lot of people, also even closer to me I have heard they are mining coal now but I can't get my hands on all the info. But if they keep at it one of the most beautiful parts of this state will be gone and it is also where we have herds of wild bison that will be harmed and my town and other towns around here will have water shortages. That is why this is such an important topic for me, but I know this is kind of a big topic and can be hard for some bloggers so don't feel like you have to do it."
Well, let's show Lisa we stand with her and we can take it on! If you'd like to contribute to the carnival, please send your post on coal to email@example.com. We can't promise all the submissions will be included, but we'll try! Please remember to include in your post a link back to Lisa's blog, Retro Housewife Goes Green and to the Green Moms Carnival home page.

Companies are mining data to solve real world challenges
Five things you need to know about big data.
Big data has been making big news in fields ranging from astronomy to online advertising.
The term big data can be difficult to pin down because it shows up in so many places. Facebook crunches through big data on your user profile and friend network to deliver micro-targeted ads. Google does the same thing with Gmail messages, Search requests and YouTube browsing.
Companies including IBM are sifting through big data from satellites, the Global Positioning System and computer networks to cut down on traffic jams and reduce carbon emissions in cities. And researchers are parsing big data produced by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Large Hadron Collider and numerous other sources to learn more about the nature and origins of the universe.
These processes all involve large amounts of information that were once too vast and messy for even computers to analyze. Now data can be mined for patterns and insights, some of which could spawn major advances in everything from theoretical physics to basic government services. In other words, big data is a chance to take all the things we don't know we know and finally know them.

Looking for paid mentor
I am in Reno, NV. I travel to Sac area every few months. Looking for a mentor to work with to bring my skills to the level I am after. Just past a beginner at this point for Drupal.

A/N: This is my first posting ever! I wrote this a looooooooooooong time ago back in high school (well, maybe not that long ago). We were to write a parody in English, and I decided to do 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' from The Wizard of Oz. My dad had these old comic books that he gave me, and several of them were from Wizard of Id, so I decided to work that in. My teacher loved it so much she gave me a 100! Unfortunately, I was too shy to read it to the rest of the class. I thought that this would make a good start for me, so tell me what you think! ~NB~
Disclaimer: I don't own the Wizard of Id comic strip or the movie Wizard of Oz or any of its songs, but I do have it on tape! ^_^
Fall Over the Rocky Road
Fall over the rocky road,
Fall over the rocky road.
Crash! Bang! Oooh! Smack!
Fall over the rocky road.
Fall over the rainbow into the stream,
Fall over the fellow now hot with steam.
Slam! Bam! Ouch! Whack!
Fall over the rocky road.
Off to sew the Wizard,
The terrible Wizard of Id.
We hear he is a wimp of a Wiz,
And never a good Wiz he was.
If ever or ever a Wiz there was
The Wizard of Id is none because,
Boing! Clunk! Whoa! Plunk! becauuussee,
Because of the horrible things he does.
Off to sew the Wizard,
The terrible Wizard of Iiiiiiiiiiiid.

Model exhibit at the Seattle Architecture Foundation and joint fundraiser with Urban Sketchers
Architects and sketchers share a similar interest in drawing and design, so it's only fitting that two organizations like the Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF) and UrbanSketchers.org would want to collaborate. This year, the Urban Sketchers chapter in Seattle is partnering with SAF to raise funds.
A silent auction during the opening of SAF's Annual Model Exhibit will feature original sketches by members of our group, including Logan Bingle, Kate Buike, David Chamness, Tina Koyama, Mark Selander, Kay Tyllia, Gail Wong, Jane Wingfield, and yours truly.
The opening night reception takes place Thursday, Sept. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Foundation's headquarters (407 Union, Rainier Square.) I've been invited to say a few words at the event and hope to see you there! If you miss it, consider stopping by on another day to see the exhibit and sketches. They will be on display through Oct. 3.

Every woman should be encouraged to fly high: Prajakta Shukre
Safety is every woman's right and singer Prajakta Shukre's song highlights this need
Artistes have always tended to project what's happening in society through their work. Disturbed by the current state of affairswhen it comes to women and their safety in the city, singer Prajakta Shukre, who was among the top five finalists of Indian Idol Season One, has also lent her voice to a single Apni Azaadi. Inspired by the song Apni Azaadi from the movie Leader, Shukre's version is about women empowerment. Excerpts from an interview:
What message do you want to convey through this song?
The song sends a strong message to women to stand up for themselves and be courageous. As this is a retro song from the movie Leader which is remembered till date, I had immense responsibility to live up to the calibre. The original song is a bit fast-paced but our version is slightly slow as I wanted to put more emphasis on the emotions. The music has been re-arranged by Abhas Joshi and Shreyas Joshi. Rajesh Sonawane has directed the video and has beautifully shot the current scenario when it comes to rise in crimes against women.
How important is it for an artiste to raise current issues through their work?
All artistes are human beings first. Every artiste uses his or her medium of art to voice their opinion. Just as a painter sketches his thoughts on the canvas, I, as a singer, have voiced my opinion through this song.
What is your opinion about the rise in crimes against women?
I get moved when such incidents happen. I feel Mumbai is a good city where a working woman can step out of her house to fulfill her dreams, but safety is the need of the hour. Every woman should be encouraged to fly high rather than be caged with fear.
Apart from this song, what other projects are you working on?
I hope Bollywood comes my way soon (laughs). I love to sing romantic and melodious songs. But at present the music scene in Bollywood is very different. Music composers want different voices for different songs. So, even established singers have their own share of struggle.
You have recently lent your voice to regional films. Tell us something about those.
Yes, I have sung the title track of the Marathi movie No Entry and also a song for the film Kuni Ghar Deta Ka Ghar.

I've loved spending a few days at the Spanish River Church Plant Retreat #srcpr!
This incredible gospel-centred church gives 20% of their budget away each year towards church planting! In the last 12 months they have been part of planting 77 churches in 25 different nations!! Generosity like this will keep changing the world and echo into eternity.
Guy Mason was inspiring as he shared stories in church this morning of how the message of Christ is changing people's lives through City on a Hill in #Australia.

Perhaps the greatest cornerback combination in college football history could be found at LSU during the 2010 season.
Patrick Peterson and Morris Claiborne were a terrific twosome who exasperated quarterbacks and frustrated receivers while becoming shutdown corners.
Peterson was the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft, and he made the Pro Bowl as a rookie.
Claiborne is expected to be one of the first six players selected in next week's draft.
Claiborne wouldn't have been playing cornerback if not for Peterson.
"Growing up, I was an offensive guy," Claiborne said. "I was recruited as a wide receiver.
"(Peterson) was my host on my visit. He was always like, 'You've got to come play corner.' And like every day at practice, that's what he was telling me. 'You've got to at least come try it. You're a corner! You're a corner!'
"So I took his advice, and the coaches' (advice) as well. I ended up liking it, and it turned out well for me."
Claiborne experienced some growing pains at his new position.
"It took me a while, but the coaches and the older players on the team, they stuck with me," he said. "They didn't give up on me."
Peterson started at cornerback as a rookie for the St. Louis Cardinals. He returned three punts for touchdowns.
"Unbelievable," Claiborne said about Peterson's rookie year. "He's doing the same things he did in college."
Technician at corner
Claiborne (5-11, 188) is rated as a legitimate shutdown corner, just as Peterson was.
The Minnesota Vikings will be tempted to take him with the third overall pick, but he probably will last until the Tampa Bay Buccaneers make the sixth selection – one spot behind Peterson a year ago.
Claiborne draws obvious comparisons to the larger Peterson (6-0, 219).
"We've got two different types of games, but I feel like we're both strong corners," Claiborne said.
Claiborne isn't bashful about his strengths.
"I think I'm more of a man corner," he said when asked if he's better at man or zone coverage. "I can play outside, but I also have experience in nickel (inside).
"I think I'm more of a technician. I try to funnel (receivers) instead of getting real physical with them at the line all the time."
Accredited at 'DB U'
When he has talked to coaches and scouts, Claiborne likes what he's hearing.
"Most teams are telling me that I had a great season and I'm a great player," he said. "I know the NFL is a whole different level than college. I'll have to come in and pick up on that. I believe I can."
Claiborne takes a lot of pride coming from "DB U," as the Tigers' defensive backs call it.
"Patrick actually gave us the name, and we just kept going with it," he said. "The DBs were just playing unbelievable, from the young guys to the older ones.
"If I'm lucky enough to get picked, my job is to come in and try to make the team better. That's what I'm going to do."
And Claiborne knows what he's going to do when he becomes a multimillionaire.
"I'll just try to do the right thing and try to raise my son (Morris Jr.) right, try to take care of my family," he said.
