The Forest Of Stories (Book 1) is the first in the series of books written by Ashok Banker on the great Indian epic, The Mahabharata.
Summary Of The Book
The story starts in forest of Naimisha, which is the setting for the narration of a part of the great epic, The Mahabharata, in this book. This book is the first in a series of around 18 books planned by the author in his bid to retell the Indian legend, and the story is carried forward by its subsequent sequels, The Seeds of War and The Children of Midnight.
The book begins when members of Kulapati Shaunaka's ashram are startled with the arrival of a weary traveller. He turns out to be Ugrasrava Lomarsana, a Suta Pauranika, a reciter of histories and epics. He is also called Sauti, and is a disciple of Sage Vyasa himself. He brings the sad news of the death of the great Vyasa.
The sages at the ashram greet him with affection and respect, offer some food to eat, and give him time to recover from his long journey. Eventually, they ask him to recite to them the great epic composed by Vyasa. Sauti obliges and begins the story. Just like in the great epic, the beginning of the story is entirely disconnected from the crux of the great epic and its central characters.
The main characters are summed up in a small introduction by Sauti. Then the story branches out. It starts with the story of creation and then goes on to trace the lineages and stories of the various races that have been created - Nagas, Yakshas, Asuras, Devas, and humans.
The story of Parashurama is told in detail in this book. It begins with the stealing of the holy cow, Kamadhenu, from Sage Jamadhagni's Ashram. It then goes on to narrate how the great Sage Jamadhagni is then killed by the king Arjuna Kartavirya's sons. Parashurama vows his terrible vengeance, and sets out to wipe the entire generation of Kshatriyas off the face of the earth.
This book also describes the great Sarpa Yaga conducted by Parikshit's son Janamejaya to avenge his father's death and destroy all the snakes in the world. As foretold, this Yagna does not really succeed in what it sets out to do. The other story shared in this book is the well-known one of Shakuntala and Dushyanta, the couple that started the Bharata clan.
Through its varied stories that cover a range of different races and times, The Forest Of Stories (Book 1) sets the tone for the vastness and splendour of The Mahabharata.
About Ashok K. Banker
Ashok Banker is an author, and he is best known for his Ramayana Series, a fantastic retelling of the ancient epic that combines the traditional story with sci-fi and fantasy elements. The series was a bestseller and even spawned a TV series.
He has also written other traditional Hindu stories in the same style, and some of his books include Bridge of Rama, Siege of Mithila, King of Ayodhya, Demons of Chitrakut, Prince of Ayodhya, The Valmiki Syndrome: Finding the Work-Life Balance, Gods of War, and Bollywood.
In his retelling of The Mahabharata, Ashok Banker has refrained from modifying the story to cover other genres. The Forest of Stories (Book 1) is just a straightforward retelling of the original story. The story is narrated in his dynamic style, and this book serves as an excellent introduction to the series for the younger generations.
Ashok Banker lives with his family in Mumbai.

I still remember the first time i read the "Prince of Ayodhya". I just couldnt put the book down!!! I finished it in a day and a half and the next day i went back to the library and borrowed "siege of mithila" I was not disappointed. In the same voracious manner i devoured the whole Ramayan series and instead of being satiated i craved for more and more (gluttony, in this case, is not a sin!!!). I bought three of the Krishna Series and I'm nearly done with them....
The MBA, on the other hand, was not what i expected....
To be fair to the author, he has warned us in the I... (Expand)
I first discovered Ashok Banker's Prince of Ayodhya in my school's library and since then I have eagerly read all of his works. His Ramayana, Krishna Coriolis and now the Mahabharata. The Mahabharata is his magnum opus as he deftly strings together one story after the other. I loved it. In fact, some of the stories mentioned here are completely new to me which enthralled me. Go and pick this up now!!
Pre-ordered this book from Flipkart, received it on the first day of it's release! wonderfully crafted stories taken from Mahabharata..flawless style of writing keeps the readers spellbound till the last page. This book is definitely worth reading. I am eagerly waiting for the part 2 of the MBA series...
This book is not the Ramayana. And it is not written in the same style in which Mr. Banker wrote the Ramayana. Whereas the Ramayana flows from one book to the other in seamless perfection, this epic endeavor is written like a collection (indeed, a forest) of stories. Do not be too disheartened by that though. There is enough in this book to make for an absorbing reading experience.
This is the author's telling of the great epic. This much he has stated in the introduction. And he has chosen to tell it via the narration of one of the characters in his tale. This has the effect of giving t... (Expand)
I was introduced to the Mahabharatha epic through the evergreen Amar Chitra Katha vignettes and C Rajagopalachari's Mahabharatha. As a kid, the stories were sugar coated for my tastes and I was happy to gobble what ever was served
However this book seems to be a different version, where all the "goody goody" heavenly characters are portrayed as normal beings with all the regular misgivings any human being can have.
Truly enjoyed the parts in the book that told us the story of Parashurama and the tale of Dushyantha and Shakuntala. It was also interesting to see a lot of research.... (Expand)
some parts are too much detailed. it is difficult to remember so many names. otherwise, it was interesting to know about various stories related to parasurama, Janmejaya, garuda, satyavati, shakuntala, parikshit, and many others. overall, it is a good book and keep you hooked if you are interest... (View complete review)
Really good read and for someone who would love real epic over modified stories will love it. The way it has been put forth is appreciable, waiting for the third part of the MBA series. (View complete review)
I've always enjoyed the Mahabharata as a more enthralling tale that the Ramayana. As a kid, I used to sift through my grandmother's tome and read in random bits. I followed Ashok Banker's Ramayana series, and quite appreciated its modern re-telling and rather racy narrative, so I was quite excite... (View complete review)
Even if you have watched, heard or read the Mahabharata many times in different forms, you will still have much more to learn and experience through this book by Ashok K. Banker.
The book elaborates many of the lesser discussed tales and mysteries of the Mahabharata in a descriptive and captivat... (View complete review)
This is an interesting retelling of one of India's greatest classics. It is faithful to the original, and complete in every sense. Its not a simple translation, but a recreation of the epic.
The Mahabharat is a story of human nature. And the unchanging nature of the subject makes it timeless. Th... (View complete review)

Jensen, Vikings defeat Grizzlies in arms race
Sep 20, 2013
News-Register wire services
Friday night's KGW Spotlight Game -- Forest Grove at McMinnville in Wortman Stadium -- featured an on-field fireworks display.
Vikings quarterback Taylor Jensen threw for 416 yards and four touchdowns, and running back Gio Tayetto rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries as Forest Grove defeated Mac, 43-34.
"I thought we were balanced," Vikings coach Dwight Jensen said. "The run game was working. The pass game was working. And I think our line did a great job."
Grizzlies quarterback Gage Gubrud completed 14 of 22 passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns. Cameron Fox scored three times for McMinnville (3-1 overall, 1-1 Pacific Conference), including a 51-yard touchdown run on Mac's first play from scrimmage.
However, the Grizzlies' offense went three-and-out four times in 10 possessions (including a goal-line stand) and also missed a 31-yard field goal in the third quarter. Forest Grove (3-1, 1-1 Pacific Conference) turned a 17-14 halftime lead into a 36-28 advantage after halftime; none of their three touchdown drives lasted more than two minutes.
"They just executed really well," McMinnville coach Robin Hill said. "The quarterback is really accurate and the receivers ran really sharp routes. We had trouble getting under them.
And we had trouble getting pressure on the quarterback. That's kind of a bad combination."

Colton 20, Sheridan 6
Plagued by penalties, Sheridan fell to Class 3A West Valley League opponent Colton, 20-6, on Friday night in Sheridan.
The Vikings had a 14-0 lead late in the first half when Colton was called for a facemask on a punt return that put the Spartans (0-3, 0-1 West Valley) in prime position to score. With 4.7 seconds remaining in the half, senior quarterback Matt Bushbaum threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to running back Jacob Hertel, bringing the score to 14-6.
Colton (2-1, 1-0 West Valley) scored another touchdown in the second half, but missed the extra point to bring about the eventual margin of victory. Sheridan threatened late in the fourth quarter, but a promising drive ended when Bushbaum was intercepted in the end zone with two seconds left.

Yamhill-Carlton 39, Estacada 28
Yamhill-Carlton notched its first win in its last 19 games Friday night, defeating Class 4A nonleague opponent Estacada, 39-28.
"It was a big win for us," Tigers coach Jerry Sutton said. "It's a good way to end preseason, going into league."
Down 28-14 with seven minutes left in the third quarter, Yamhill-Carlton (1-3 overall) turned the corner with a big defensive stop, followed by a touchdown pass from Zach Rhodes to Conner Weidner.
On the next series, the Tigers' defense forced a fumble and the subsequent possession produced another touchdown from Rhodes to Weidner.
Weidner finished the contest against Estacada (0-4 overall) with eight catches for 214 yards and five touchdowns. Defensively, senior Jacob Wood racked up 19 tackles and linebacker, and senior defensive lineman Jake McManus added 12.
Yamhill-Carlton's last victory in football was a 20-13 win over Tillamook on Oct. 28, 2011.
Willamina 26, Corbett 12
Willamina tallied its first win of the 2013 season on Friday night, defeating Class 3A nonleague opponent Corbett, 26-12.
The Bulldogs (1-2 overall) were led by quarterback Nathan Johnson, who completed four of five passes for 110 yards and a touchdown.
"He played a fabulous game," Willamina coach Tim France said. "After a tough game this week, he came out tonight and made some great throws and really good runs."
Corbett's record dipped to 1-3 overall.
Dayton 41, Gervais 14
Dayton improved to 4-0 overall as the Pirates defeated Class 3A West Valley League opponent Gervais, 41-14, on the road Friday night.
Gervais fell to 0-2 against Dayton.
Horizon Christian 32, Amity 12
Amity lost its Class 3A West Valley League opener Friday night against Horizon Christian, 32-12, in Tualatin.
The Bulldogs are now 1-2 overall.

Why This Chipmaker Deserves To Be Bought, Now!
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I've heard some bearish comments lately on my favorite tech play, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). These comments generally have to do with the declining demand for PC's and questions about whether or not Intel can adapt to the changing computing landscape, particularly the shift toward tablet computing and other mobile devices.
One of my general philosophies about investing is that uncertainty creates bargains. It is this philosophy that allowed savvy investors to buy shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters for under $20 when the market was uncertain of the effect of the K-cup patent expiration, and sell them for over $40 when the next earnings report confirmed the company is still strong. I believe that Intel is a similar situation, though it may take a little more waiting in this case.
Intel has traded relatively flat over the past decade or so. In fact, exactly 10 years ago from the time of this writing, Intel was trading at $19.56, meaning that the shares themselves have risen just 10% in a decade. There have been some pops and drops since then, and a year ago Intel was approaching $30 before pulling back. However, in the past decade Intel has incrementally raised its dividend from 8 cents per share to 90 cents per share. At a current yield of around 4.2%, Intel has become quite a nice income stock.
Despite its labeling as a value and income play, I think Intel may be ready to break out to the upside over the next several years. For a long time now, the microprocessor industry has been completely dominated by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD). AMD spend most of the early 2000's improving their products and cutting prices and Intel suffered as a result. Intel, however, began to regain its market share when it introduced the "core" line of processors, the i3, i5, and i7 that are so popular for PC's and laptops.
Intel has always been the clear leader, and it currently accounts for about 80% of microprocessors shipped worldwide. While thus far Intel has not been able to really break into the mobile segment, I believe it is just a matter of time.
As tablet computers and mobile devices such as smartphones add more features and capabilities, the need arises for more powerful and capable processors. Intel has the Atom processor, which is much faster than most mobile processors; however the challenge is power consumption, an area in which Intel has not been too competitive thus far.
What I think will be Intel's ace in the hole is the prospect of becoming Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) mobile processor supplier. According to a report by Reuters released last week, the two companies have been in talks over the past year on that issue, but are yet to reach an agreement. Apple is looking for alternatives to their current processors, which they design themselves but are manufactured by Samsung. Intel is the best in the business and I think Apple realizes this. Just because talks have been going on for so long doesn't mean much. Apple has historically taken its time in making large-scale business decisions.
I also think that this type of a deal will benefit Apple's shareholders, and I think the company knows this. There is no name more synonymous with quality in the chip-making business than Intel and the use of Intel processors in Apple devices like the iPad would be perceived as an upgrade from the current equipment, and may also lead to a bigger line of iPads, as they could conceivably be made with a variety of Intel processors, just like laptops.
In the microprocessor segment, Intel is the only viable investment. AMD's share price has absolutely collapsed over the past year, and is 69.3% below its 52-week high at a time when the market is booming. AMD lost 16 cents per share and is forecast to post negative earnings for the next few years as well. While the company may indeed turn around, it is a speculative play at best.
Whether or not the Apple deal happens anytime soon, I still think Intel is priced right for an investment now at just 10.1 times TTM earnings. The consensus calls for a forward growth rate of just 5%, but I think this is a ridiculously low estimate, even if their mobile business stays the same. With the improving economy, both individuals and enterprises will have more capital to spend on new computing equipment, and 80% of that equipment, as mentioned, features Intel processors.

Catholic Group to Leave Vanderbilt
Special Report - March 29, 2012
One of the largest Catholic student groups at Vanderbilt University will not register as an official student organization in the fall 2012 school year due to religious freedom conflicts with the university's nondiscrimination policy. "The discriminatory non-discrimination policy at Vanderbilt University has forced our hand," said Father John Sims Baker, Chaplain of the student group, Vanderbilt Catholic, in a press release. Vanderbilt University requires all officially recognized student organizations to open their leadership positions to any student, regardless of their adherence to the group's religious beliefs, as part of abiding by the university's nondiscrimination policy, which includes special protections for "sexual orientation," "gender identity" and "gender expression." To be recognized as a registered religious student organization, Vanderbilt requires groups to sign an affirmation statement that they are in compliance with the nondiscrimination policy.
"How could we sign such an agreement?" Father Baker asked in a statement. "Our purpose has always been to share the Gospel and proudly to proclaim our Catholic faith. What other reason could there be for a Catholic organization at Vanderbilt? How can we say it is not important that a Catholic lead a Catholic organization?"
The conflict over Vanderbilt's nondiscrimination policy began last year, when a homosexual student complained after losing his membership in a Christian fraternity. In response, Vanderbilt launched an investigation into the constitutions of registered religious student groups at the university to determine whether or not they were complying with the nondiscrimination policy, and found that several groups were not. On March 9, 2012, Vanderbilt published updated guidelines about the policy, which state that the policy "remains an 'all comers' policy, under which all students are presumed to be eligible for membership in registered student organizations (RSOs) and all members of RSOs in good standing are eligible to compete for leadership positions."
While Vanderbilt Catholic and many other religious groups had no problem accepting all students as members, they objected to the university requirement that the nondiscrimination policy also apply to leadership positions. A March 26 letter to Vanderbilt Catholic students and families from the group's student board states that "after much reflection, discussion, and prayer, we have decided that Vanderbilt Catholic cannot in good conscience affirm that we comply with this policy… We are a faith-based organization. A Catholic student organization led by someone who neither professes the Catholic faith nor strives to live it out would not be able to serve its members as an authentically Catholic organization. We cannot sign the affirmation form because to do so would be to lie to the university and to ourselves about who we are as an organization."
So far, Vanderbilt Catholic is the first student group to officially cut ties with Vanderbilt University over the nondiscrimination policy. The group plans to reorganize as an independent student organization that will continue to serve Vanderbilt, as well as other universities in Nashville.

Special Program: O Moody, Tearful Night!
Guest: James Swanson
By Newseum staff
James L. Swanson, Edgar Award-winning author of The New York Times best-seller "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer," presented a dramatic retelling April 14 at the Newseum of the events surrounding the April 14, 1865, assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It was a one-night event by Swanson, who has spent much of his adult life tracing the history surrounding this American tragedy.
Swanson collaborated with the Newseum on the museum's new "Manhunt" exhibit that features 40 artifacts and documents from Swanson's personal collection, many of which are being displayed publicly for the first time. The retelling was preceded by a performance by the Federal City Brass Band, an authentic Civil War uniformed band that played Lincoln's favorite songs.
The Newseum has a unique connection to Lincoln's assassination. The museum is located on the site of the National Hotel, a favorite of Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth. Booth stayed in Room 228 before he shot the president at Ford's Theatre. Investigators later found evidence in his room connecting him to the assassination.
"O Moody, Tearful Night!" is one of several programs presented by the Newseum as part of the nationwide commemoration of the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. The program is made possible through the generous support of Scholastic Inc. and Harper Perennial, an imprint of HarperCollins.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The nation's largest school system lurched to life Monday, when all but the most affected students still suffering from Superstorm Sandy made their way back to classes on foot, ferry and subway.
Students at Stuyvesant High School, the city's most selective school, swarmed out of Lower Manhattan's subway stations after electricity was restored to the devastated area by the weekend.
"Being cooped up in my house for nine days was not fun!" said sophomore Nathan Mannes. "I did my homework, and when I finished that I played some video games."
Less than 50 schools throughout the five boroughs remained closed because of structural damage and fewer than 20 were without power, Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters at midday. About 16 schools were being used to shelter people left homeless by Sandy, though most of the displaced will be moved out by the time those students return Wednesday, he said.
A handful of schools opened their doors with partial utility service.
"We have power but no heat -- so bundle up!" read a sign on the door of the Spruce Street School, which opened last year in a downtown high-rise designed by Frank Gehry.
About 73,000 of the city's 1.1 million public school students were told to stay home Monday while education officials scrambled to ready temporary space for them at functioning schools or to get at least partial power on at schools they usually attend. Bloomberg and his schools chancellor, Dennis Walcott, said the city will make good use of the school holiday on Election Day to ensure relocations go as smoothly as possible.
Morning attendance was about 86 percent, the mayor said, about the same as the day before the nonpresidential election last year. He said 94 percent of 1,700 schools were open.
"It was a relatively successful first day," Bloomberg said, noting some of the school buildings still closed took severe beatings and may take more time to reopen.
Fare cards for city buses and subways were handed out to an undetermined number of students living in shelters or with loved ones far from school.

Martha's Favorite
Sour-Cherry Pistachio Crisp
CRISP 'krisp\a baked concoction of sweetened fruit with a crumbly topping. Ours has more than a pound and a half of pitted sour cherries. Some debate whether the topping should include oats. Ours does, plus pistachios and the traditional brown sugar, butter, and flour. There's no disputing the results: tangy, sugary fruit and lots of crunch.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 3/4 pounds pitted fresh or frozen sour cherries
- 1/2 cup chopped unsalted pistachios
- 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Pinch of ground, cinnamon
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using frozen cherries, spread them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature until cherries have thawed almost completely but still hold their shape, about 30 minutes. Drain off any accumulated liquid.
Step 2
Whisk together the pistachios, flour, oats, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Put butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy.
Step 3
Stir pistachio mixture into butter mixture until just combined. Work mixture through your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs ranging in size from small peas to gum balls; set topping aside.
Step 4
Stir together cherries, remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Transfer cherry mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over cherry mixture. Bake until topping turns golden and juices are bubbling, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.

I made this and followed the directions. I used 1 quart of fresh sour cherries from the farmer's market. This was the best crisp I have ever made. The only issue with the recipe is that (it stated) when the topping was stirred will be anywhere from pea shaped to larger pieces. I found the pieces ended up larger, no pea shaped. I was worried about this, but distributed the topping in even pieces. It turned out very crispy. I will make this again.Reply

Stand By Your Band!On the day after I downloaded from iTunes their rendition of "Stand By Your Man," comes this headline from Media Matters for America:Stand by your band: O'Reilly falsely claimed Dixie Chicks "have not recovered" from controversial 2003 remarks
Never dreamed I would give the time of day to Bill O'Reilly.
Background & info on the controversy in 2003:
CBS News: "Dixie Chicks Slammed for Bush Gibe"
CNN.com: "Chicks defiant with interview, nude cover"
Below is my letter sent to Bill O'Reilly today:Dear Bill O'Reilly:
I've listened respectively to you speaking your opinions, and as a
First Amendment advocate, always supported your right to say what you
believe. I've even maintained that yours, regardless of how I may have
disagreed with you, was an important voice on the very large and
diverse spectrum of American opinion.When you speak out in
error about the Dixie Chicks, however, you have gone too far. I
personally do not care what you say, however right or wrong it may be,
about politicians and public officials. But what you have said this
time is about me and how I spend my dime.Thus, I find it
necessary to request that you apologize to the young women who comprise
this performing group and to the fans and followers who enjoy their
music, support their products and encourage them to speak their minds.The
Dixie Chicks' careers are thriving, in fact, and they have been, as a
group and as individuals, talking about Natalie Maines' comment on
George Bush at a London concert in 2003 almost since the day it
happened. To say otherwise is just plain wrong.Further, I ask
that you please inform your colleagues that, contrary to the recent
comment made on your show, the other two members of the band, Emily
Maguire and Martie Robinson, were never "mad" at Natalie and in
actuality, they supported her from the outset. Again, you are
simply wrong and uninformed about the Dixie Chicks' commercial and
artistic success, and in view of their youth and vitality, I suspect
you are going to have the opportunity to follow their artistry, their
humanitarianism and their careers for many years to come.Sincerely,Dr. Betty L. SullivanFounder & PresidentBetty's List / Sullivan Communications, IncSan Francisco

January 1, 2006 – New Year's Day
Today's a good day to take a look at that Earthcam.com news release web master John alerted me to during the height of holiday festivities . . . The release announces their picks for the 2005 edition (the 7th annual) of "25 Most Interesting Webcams" of the year.The
2005 ones comprise a diverse but uneven collection, some of them fun
and inspired, some déjà vu, some of them, ya jus gotta ask: "Why?" On my screen, Graceland Cam raises a smile and reminds me of a party I hosted there back in 1994. The British Antarctic Vessel Cam speaks to the ice adventure girl in me. Pyramid Cam evokes my true tourist self. The Tahiti Nui Travel Webcam
certainly made me salivate for another trip to those awesome French
Polynesian Islands. My newspaper industry business partner, Dr. Sherrye
D. Garrett, and I had a great time as guests of the Tahiti Office of Tourism and Radisson Seven Seas' Paul Gauguin. I'd go again in a minute.Among them all, I'll pick Live Piranha Web Cam,
not because of the Piranha Cam which never opened at all, but for the
"way cool" strategy behind it. From a promotion / marketing
perspective, this little cam is not doubt bringing a lot of attention
to Piranha Pictures, that "small but mighty" ad agency based in Nashville. Go there, you'll see a link to their Emmy-winning PSA "Booze It Enforcement: Kick a Bear." Worth the trip. Fascinating strategy, I think.@ If you missed the coverage of Times Square's New Year's Eve Party last night, you can take a look at the archived Times Square cam views and just about be there all over again. I'm glad Dick Clark was there as anchor of ABC's coverage.@
Two memorable moments from New Year's Day a year ago: (1) Visiting the
Blow Hole near Po'ipu on Kauai; and (2) Touring around singing my
favorite track on SFGMC's outstanding "Oh, Happy Day" CD entitled "We're Not Lost, We're Here." Sums it all up for me. Big cosmology.Kauai's
Blow Hole, or "Spouting Horn," is a natural wonder that blows spray
when waves push water rushing under a lava shelf bursting through a
small opening at the surface . . . some 50 feet into the air! At
sunset, the spray becomes an incandescent rainbow.Legend says
the coastline there is guarded by a large lizard (mo'o) who ate anyone
coming to fish or swim. A man named Liko entered the water one day, and
when the lizard went after him, he swam under the lava shelf and
escaped through a lava hole. When the mo'o followed him, it became
stuck. The groaning sound when the spray flies through the hole at
Spouting Horn is the lizard's cry of hunger and pain, still trapped
under the rocks never to escape. One report says there are really two
holes at the Blow Hole, one for water and the other for sound . . .Another
story says that Kukiula Seaplume was the name of an even larger
blowhole, once found near the Spouting Horn, sending water 200 feet
into the air with each wave. The larger one was destroyed in the 1920s
when the salt spray damaged the sugar cane growing in a nearby field.So much for blow holes . . . especially in my neighborhood . . . Yeah, that was a way-too-cute thing to say . . .

Phil Collen recently did an interview for Brotherhood of the Guitar a while back. Lots of questions Phil get asked over and over are answered here... Watch now on YouTube!
Down 'n' Outz, the project fronted by Joe Elliott, premieres "Rock and Roll Queen" video exclusively via Billboard.com. "Rock and Roll Queen" is the first single off of the new album The Further Adventures Of…, a collection of songs connected to Mott The Hopple available now. Shot at "The Corporation" in Sheffield on May 12th, 2014, the video was directed by Lee Ford.
"Shooting a video in a dark, dirty & seedy nightclub in Sheffield brought back some great memories of being at such a club watching bands as a teenager, says Joe. "The perfect setting for the Down 'n' Outz to blast through some fantastic retro rock!"
The project was born in 2009 when Mott The Hoople re-formed and asked long-time friend and fan Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) to get involved. Joe formed Down 'n' Outz with The Quireboys' Paul Guerin (Guitar), Guy Griffin (Guitar) and Keith Weir (keyboards), plus Phil Martin (drums). Together they looked to bring songs by Mott The Hoople and spin off projects of Mott, Ian Hunter and British Lions to a wider audience. The Further Adventures Of… was recorded at Joe Elliott's own studio Joe's Garage.

Overall review: I am the origiinal owner, since mile 17, and after 150,000 miles, this is the best car I have ever owned. It really has been a true road warrior and friend. I have had to shell out less than $2,000 in repairs over eight years (not including oil changes) and I consider that to be more than reasonable. I highly recommend it.

A challenge and a lesson
I think sometimes people are speaking to me right when I need to hear it. For a long time I haven't felt much of a challenge. What I mean by that is there hasn't been something professionally that has made me have those butterflies in quite awhile. And today I did; an interview with Cokie Roberts. I was nervous about it and it went well. I often avoid that which scares me, not liking to face things out of my comfort zone. Which may seem funny considering my job. But today I was reminded that I learn so much more, about myself and the world, when I do just that.

The sounds of chaos at the end of the Galveston Mardi Gras celebration were deafening as revelers refused to leave.
On a YouTube video, people can be seen tearing down metal police barricades, and throwing garbage barrels, beer cans and other objects into the air. Galveston Police were finally able to clear the streets. Seven people were arrested.
One of them, 20-year-old Ashton Hooper of Houston is charged with assault on a peace officer, evading arrest, and criminal mischief.
No serious injuries were reported and no downtown businesses were damaged. Police are using YouTube videos to try to identify others who took part in the disturbance.

It's always good to hear that companies who tout the "greenness" of their products practice what they preach. Parterre Flooring Systems, Brooklyn, NY, is one of those companies. The flooring manufacturer makes its headquarters in the, now converted, Brooklyn Navy Yard. The recent $250-million Navy Yard renovation project has the facility on track to receive LEED Gold certification.
The focal point of the project is the first use of roof-mounted wind turbines in Brooklyn. The six wind turbines, along with numerous rooftop solar panels, provide electricity for the building's lobby and other common areas. Other green aspects of the renovation include reflective roofing and pavement to reduce surface temperatures, recycled rain water for toilet flushing, recycled building materials, high-efficiency lighting fixtures, and natural ventilation.
"At Parterre, we take environmental responsibility seriously," said president T. Fred Roche. "So, of course, we are extremely enthusiastic about the Brooklyn Navy Yard's offices receiving power from the rooftop wind turbines and solar panels and being a part of this development's impressive sustainability initiatives."
The city also announced plans for other projects at the Navy Yard, including the Duggal Greenhouse, which involves turning a one-story 30,000-sq.-ft. building into "a 60,000-sq.-ft. LEED Platinum facility that will be used to manufacture eco-friendly products and will become a laboratory for new sustainable products." It is expected that the facility will also create 1,700 jobs.—Gary L. Parr

We proceeded to our stateroom and met our Room Steward Gerald. The first thing we noticed was an odor in our room that smelled like someone had been smoking in our room. We talked to Gerald about the odor and upon our return to the room the odor was gone. The ice we requested was in our room daily as was the extra pillows. I had brought a small fan to use at night and an extension cord just magically appeared without asking. Gerald was an awesome steward.
We went to the pool bar to meet some of our cruise critic friends, found them no problem, what an exceptional friendly group of people. We had an awesome week with amazing people. I'm so glad I found Cruise Critic and became a member.
Muster Drill was done at 5:30pm with no issues or problems. We proceeded to get dressed for our first meal in the Main Dining Room. We sat at dinner with Ginnie one of our Cruise Critic friends at a table for 4. Ronald was our waiter and our assistant waiter was Tommy, we thought both of them did a wonderful job of taking care of us. I am on a special medically supervised diet and Ronald went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed. My every need was seen to, special meals were made for me every night.
We ate breakfast every morning in the Main Dining Room. We found the Windjammer to be a little to hectic for us and again my dietary needs were met no problem. The few times we ate lunch in the Windjammer we thought the food was good. We didn't have lunch that often.
Sailing from San Juan there was a larger group of Hispanic cruisers and one very large group traveling together. Actually due to this large group there was only one show in The Lyric Theater each night. This was not really a big deal or even an in convince for us we just went with the flow.
An amazing show on this cruise was the Ice Show. Linda one of our Cruise Critic friends was kind enough to think of us and get us tickets for this show. It was the best entertainment on this ship a definite don't miss.
We had Dinner one night in Portofinos with a small group from Cruise Critic. The meal and service were excellent. Well worth the $20.00 charge. The company was even better.
Both my husband and I visited the Spa twice each. We both had Manicures done, Rebecca did an awesome job, then I had a Facial done Louise was amazing a very relaxing treatment and my Husband got a hot shave which he really enjoyed. We could both get use to this kind of treatment very easily.
Debarkation was a bit confusing and we were never given the declaration forms a head of time. It also was not easy for us to find our luggage but, once we did and had the paper work filled out everything went smoothly. We were in a taxi and on our way to the airport no problem.

Two teaching organisations, TESL Toronto and BELTA (Belgium) joined together for a free online conference on the topics of reading and writing on 8th-9th August 2014.
I was very happy to present on an area I've been experimenting with for a while, both as a teacher and a Russian learner, that of writing journals.
I'll update this post with a recording of the presentation when it's available. Until then, here are my slides. Please let me know if any of the links don't work.
All of the slides and recordings from the whole conference are available via the conference programme.

As of recently, I have found myself looking for my next radio job. Needless to say, I am remembering how unpleasant it is.
My first radio company I had ever worked for was Infinity Broadcasting back in 2000. I remember the more experienced radio folks telling me horror stories such as "DON'T EVER WORK FOR CLEAR CHANNEL!" That would normally be followed up with a (at least) 10 minute rant how they would sacrifice goats in the hallways and the sales department would snatch deadbeat clients first born children if they didn't pay up, etc.
Obviously I'm being sarcastic.
Basically they would exaggerate the "horror" of working for such a company. This was my first experience with this sort of thing. It never fails, every radio person finds themselves sitting one day listening through someone's DONT EVER WORK FOR (Insert Company) stories. Disgruntled ex employee, or truth?? That is the question.
Eventually I ended up working for Clear Channel. When I first started I remembered the horror stories of former employees. I saw no remnants of devil worshiping. I saw no one resorting to cannibalism due to weak sales or ratings.
Obviously I'm being sarcastic AGAIN.
In fact, Clear Channel was very good to me the three and half years I was employed there.
I guess my rant is this…
It has been my assessment that no matter what radio company (if at all) I will work for in the future, there will always be people who have these so called "horror stories" about them.
What exactly is the point of them? In my situation all those warnings were false.
To my fellow radio people… what were some of the horror stories you heard about? And did you work for that company you were warned about? Was it like they said? Or was it different?

Utah Highway Patrol troopers took a man into custody late Friday morning after a prolonged, wrong-way chase on Salt Lake Valley interstate freeways.
UHP Cpl. Todd Johnson said the drama began at 10:26 a.m. when the male suspect was spotted by a trooper driving straight at him, westbound in the eastbound lanes Interstate 80 near 700 East. The driver sped past the trooper, then merged onto I-15, going northbound in the southbound lanes.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
With troopers now in pursuit, the driver continued driving the wrong way on I-15, causing two crashes — a minor injury collision at 3100 South and a non-injury accident at 3300 South — as motorists swerved to avoid him.
Johnson said troopers twice attempted "pit maneuvers" — where a law officer purposely collides with the suspect vehicle to force it to a stop. It was the second attempt that succeeded in stopping the suspect near an I-15 on ramp, and pinning the vehicle against a utility pole near 5300 South.
The 52-year-old Taylorsville man was arrested without further incident and booked into Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of reckless driving and evading law officers.

The Kahala Harvesting Mushrooms and Montrachet in October
The Kahala Hotel & Resort will be harvesting Mushrooms and Montrachet in October. Don't miss this month-long food fest that elevates the humble fungi to gourmet culinary status paired with some of the most enticing Montrachet wines of France and wines made in the Montrachet fashion in America. Among the activities will be three cooking classes, Chef's Table Grand Experience on selected Thursdays and Sunday Brunch at Hoku's, and specialty menus at Plumeria Beach House's Bounty of the Seven Seas on selected Friday and Saturday nights. Call now to reserve your table or cooking class, (808) 739-8760, or E-mail email@example.com.
Mushrooms are seasonal favorites in the fall and our chef's gone bonkers for these fleshy edible fruit bodies of several species of fungi. Whether you toss them in a salad, sauté them with wine, or make them a hearty main course, mushrooms are fantastically nutritional and low-calorie food. The Mushrooms and Montrachet special menus at Hoku's and Plumeria Beach House will be featured throughout the month of October. And don't miss The Kahala's popular cooking demonstrations, Mushroom and Montrachet Cooking Class, with Executive Chef Wayne Hirabayashi and Hoku's Chef de Cuisine Jeremy Shigekane on October 13th, 20th and 27th. Three classes will be offered, on October 13th , 20th and 27th, from 9 a.m. until noon. Fee to participate is $85 per person per class plus 23% gratuity and state tax. In this culinary adventure, participants enjoy a demonstration by the Chefs followed by a hands-on cooking experience. Class participants will enjoy light refreshments after the class and receive recipes of the dishes they prepared to take home.
Edible mushrooms are nature's hidden treasures and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, textures, and tastes. From the peppery oyster mushrooms to smoky-flavored shiitake, to the giant portabella, The Kahala is giving the humble fungi a starring role in special dishes this fall. Come try the special mushroom menu and we'll make a believer out of you. Whether they have been harvested wild or cultivated, the act of consuming mushrooms, called Mycophagy, dates back to ancient times. Mushrooms have been found in association with 13,000 year old ruins in Chile and traced back to several hundred years BC in China.
Even the ancient Romans and Greeks used mushrooms for culinary purposes. (Roman Emperors often employed food tasters to ensure that the mushrooms were safe to eat!) In Egypt, mushrooms were decreed by the pharaohs to be the plant of immortality and no commoner was allowed to eat them. In mushroom rituals around the world, shrooms were thought to have properties that could produce super-human strength, help in finding lost objects, and could lead the soul to the realm of the gods. The magic of shroomery exists even now.
In the formal cultivation of mushrooms, the French led the way. Word in the history books says that Louis XIV was among the very first mushroom growers. Around his time, they grew them in special caves near Paris set aside for this unique form of agriculture. The practice spread to England and across the big pond to American by the late 19th century. American gardener William Falconer from Long Island published the first book on mushroom growing in 1891. American horticulturists soon created their own pure-culture virgin spawn in 1903 freeing Americans from depending on poor quality imported spawn from Europe. While Southeastern Pennsylvania remains the mushroom capital of America, the money making crop has spread to virtually every state in the union. Pennsylvania State University has spearheaded agricultural research on mushroom farming enabling American growers to produce more and better crops of the edible fungi. In 1955, the American Mushroom Institute was formed as a private, non-profit to promote consumption and cultivation. From the caves of Paris to the dinner tables of millions of Americans, fresh, wholesome mushrooms have come out of the dark and into the spotlight.
The Kahala will also be featuring a variety of spectacular Montrachet wines to accompany the mushroom dishes.
Often called "The King of Wines," Montrachet is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for white wine from Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy. The area is known for producing the greatest dry white wine in the world and is the spiritual home for Chardonnay, the world's most famous white grape. It is surrounded by four other Grand Cru vineyards which all have "Montrachet" as part of their names. Located in the south of the Côte de Beaune, which is the southern half of the Côte d'Or, which in turn is the most important of several wine producing sub-regions of Burgundy. The wines from Montrachet are composed almost entirely of Chardonnay and are among the most expensive dry white wines in the world and highly regarded as some of the world's most enticing wines.
Through history, Montrachet wines have attracted a famous following, among them Thomas Jefferson who, after tasting the 1782 vintage while an Ambassador to France, ordered an entire 130-gallon cask; and Grace Kelly who brought a bottle over to wheelchair-bound Jimmy Stewart's apartment in "Rear Window," along with a meal from the '21' club.
Please Don't Crowd the Mushrooms!
