Question: Why isn't the neck stained like the rest of the instrument?
Answer:Necks are left unfinished, or very lightly finished (perhaps with linseed oil) on purpose. Any type of stain...
The viola is an integral part of the symphony orchestra with 4 strings that produce tones a fifth lower than the corresponding strings on the violin. Violas are slightly larger than violins and are commonly associated with classical music. Violas are found in orchestras and string quartets. However, a quick internet search will turn up many violas used in classic, indie and folk-rock music.
Violas are particularly child-friendly instruments because they're available in a variety of sizes. As a young viola student grows, their viola can be traded for a larger size. It's critical that a student has the proper size viola. One that is too large for the student can create a very uncomfortable situation. In extreme situations, this can lead to tendonitis. A viola with a body length of 15 inches or greater is considered to be 4/4 size or full size.
Florea Prodigy Viola Outfit
Student Violas:
Student violas are made for beginning students and are often produced by machine. Maple is sometimes used for high-friction parts (pegs, fingerboard) and dyed black to resemble ebony, which is found on most violas. Student violas are excellent for the early stages of development and are priced to easily fit into most budgets.
Intermediate Violas:
Intermediate violas are crafted with better quality wood and workmanship, most (if not all) of which is done by hand. The result is a viola that sounds better and accommodates players at more advanced levels. Intermediate viola pegs and fingerboards are usually made of ebony. Extensive hand graduation—the process of carving wood to different thicknesses—of the top and back of the viola produce a warmer and more refined sound. If the wood is good quality and the craftsman has paid attention to the necessary details, some intermediate violas may even approach professional performance levels.
Professional Violas:
Professional violas are made from only the finest woods, and built with near fanatical attention to every detail of the instrument's construction and appearance. Because of the relatively low number of craftsman skilled at this level, and the number of hours required to produce a viola of this caliber with a select piece of natural wood, the price of these professional instruments is considerably higher than intermediate violas.
Straight-grained spruce is the only material used for the top of a viola. Most of the sound is produced by the top, and straight-grained spruce is the only material strong enough to handle the heavy tension of the strings and ensure a resonant sound. Natural-aged, straight-grained spruce is preferred. The longer the natural aging, the better—five years is the minimum preference of viola makers.
Viola necks, sides and backs are generally constructed from maple, which strengthens stability and enhances beauty.
The fingerboard, pegs, tailpiece and chinrest of a viola are usually made from ebony. This dense, dark wood is strong, but light enough that it will not make the viola feel top-heavy.
Other Woods:
Rosewood, boxwood and a few other exotic woods are also used for viola pegs, tailpieces and chinrests. These woods are chosen as much for their beauty as for their individual sound characteristics.
Strings, rosin, and a good shoulder rest are accessories that will make playing a viola much easier. A practice mute and a sturdy case are also great accessories for viola players.
A decorative piece at the top of the viola.
Typically constructed from a very dense wood. Viola pegs are used to adjust string tension, resulting in tuning changes.
Peg Box:
A box between the scroll and nut that secure the viola's pegs. The holes on either side of the peg box are tapered to secure the pegs and allow for easy, stable tuning.
Typically constructed from quality hard maple. A lot of stress is placed on the viola's neck. With proper tuning, there can be 200 pounds of tension on the neck.
A long piece of wood glued on top of the neck. This stiff, dense wood adds strength to the viola's neck and prevents it from warping. Quality fingerboards are scooped inward towards the center and made from ebony.
The viola bridge is held in place only by tension—no glue is used. Quality viola bridges are hand-fitted against the body to ensure proper sound transmission. The bridge is higher where the lowest string crosses.
Two holes precisely cut in the top of a viola permit the top to respond more freely, and for sound to be projected from the viola's interior.
Tail piece:
Generally made of the same material as the chin rest and pegs, typically for cosmetic purposes. However, it can be made of any dense material.
Tail Gut (tail piece gut, tail piece adjuster):
Originally made from animal intestine, now constructed from nylon, this piece holds all the tension from the viola strings into the button, across the saddle.
Small button-like feature on the bottom of a string instrument that holds the tail gut.
Sound Post:
Located on the inside of the viola frame, the sound post provides structural support and transmits vibration from the top to the back.
Bass Bar:
On the inside of the viola frame, a long piece of wood that is glued under the lowest string. The bass bar strengthens the structural support of the top and distributes the sound over the entire length of the viola.
Chin Rest:
A misnomer because the jaw should actually rest against the chinrest and the chin should be near the tailpiece for a proper fit. Chinrests are available in a variety of shapes, heights and sizes for a personalized level of comfort. A viola chinrest can easily be adapted for viola by purchasing a set of longer barrels.
Hand Crafting:
Building a viola is as much art and as it is science. Manufacturers employ luthiers at different levels of experience. The least experienced crafters typically work on less-expensive, student violas. As the luthier's experience increases, so does the level of viola they make.
Manufacturer's employ set-up technicians to prepare the viola to play at its highest potential. Detailed shaping and shaving of components, fitting the bridge, precise fit and finish of pegs, adjusting proper depth and shape of the notches at the bridge and the nut, and fine tuning are all responsibilities of the set-up technicians.
Flaming is a popular technique to enhance a stringed-instrument's visual appeal. However, this technique does not necessarily enhance the quality of the sound produced.
Most viola backs are "book-matched," or constructed from two pieces of wood glued together. This process gives the viola a uniform appearance, but does not necessarily improve the sound quality.
The single most influential factor (after skill) of sound quality produced by a viola is the choice of strings used. There is not a correct type of string for all players under all circumstances. Each type of string has qualities that make it more appropriate for different situations (i.e. solo vs. orchestral performance; country vs. classical performance). Other factors such as cost, the viola players' individual preferences, and the way a particular string sounds on an individual viola also come into play. See The Woodwind & Brasswind string selection buyer's guide for more in-depth detail.
In choosing a viola, you need to consider your musician's age and skill level, and the kind of use (school band, orchestral, etc.). If for school, consulting with the band teacher is a good idea.
*All returned instruments priced over $3,000.00 are assessed a $20.00 fee. All bows are assessed a $4.00 return fee.

There was one woman who had a giant sign and on it, it just said, 'America Is Better Than Abortion.' I think she meant that America was too good a place for the horror of abortion. But instead, it sounded like she had weighed both -- the American spirit and getting an abortion and decided that American spirit better. I think it is a bad idea to have grammatically ambiguous protest signs.

Completion and Refurbishment: Airbus Corporate Jetliner Center Ramps Up
The Airbus Corporate Jetliner Center in Toulouse, France, which opened for business in July, has taken in its first two aircraft for cabin outfitting, both from the ACJ line and both to be furnished with executive interiors for private owners. The completion and refurbishment center, located at the former EADS Sogerma facilities, expects to build its annual capacity to three narrowbody ACJs (the A319-based Airbus Corporate Jetliner, the A318 Elite and A320 Prestige). Airbus expects to have invested $7 million in the facilities by the time improvements are completed early next year. The reason for opening the new center was evident in an Airbus representative's complaint recently that the first available slots at some independent completion centers specializing in narrowbody bizliner outfitting are in 2009.

This cover is a great value for the money. It fits well and should keep the weather off the boat. This is a 24ft boat so there is lots of material that needs to be spread out, should have 2 people to put this on. I like that the straps are sewn across across the entire width.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
But rape isn't an insult or foul language, and to ban the use of the word in a way diminishes the issues faced by rape victims by preventing it being discussed. Plus you'll end up with words like 'therapist' and 'physiotherapist' being censored as well, as they are in the official forums. Also, rape is not just a 'women's' issue. Men get raped too. Rape is a crime that can harm anyone.

MILWAUKEE (WSAU) Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee defended Tommy Thompson's conservative record during a visit to Milwaukee last night. Huckabee endorsed the Republican Thompson in next year's U-S Senate election. And he slammed the national conservative Club-for-Growth for saying Thompson is not a true conservative.
Huckabee, who ran for president four years ago, said Thompson's 14 years as Wisconsin governor was highlighted by conservative principles, tax cuts, and reforms of welfare and education. And Huckabee said the Club-for-Growth had no understanding of what it takes to govern. Club spokesman Barney Keller responded by asking quote, "Who is Mike Huckabee?"
Huckabee said Thompson does not need the Senate job – but rather, the job needs him. Former Congressman Mark Neumann is also seeking the G-O-P Senate nomination, along with state Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald and state Senate Republican Frank Lasee. It became an open seat after Democrat Herb Kohl said he would step down after next year. (End)

It was announced on Wednesday that we will see an unprecedented event in college football in 2016. The Tennessee Volunteers and the Virginia Tech Hokies will play their game inside of Bristol Motor Speedway, in a game that is expected to draw over 150,00 fans which will automatically be a record attendance number for the sport.
It's something that's long been whispered to happen eventually. Daytona has even previously contacted Florida and Florida State about having an edition of their storied rivalry played there.
But, Tennessee and Virginia Tech will be the first ones to take this on, and it should no doubt be exciting and obviously unique.
How unique? Well, let me give you an idea.
Neyland Stadium, home to the Volunteers, is considered one of the more stellar atmospheres to take in a collegiate football game. The venue in Knoxville currently holds over 102,000 in capacity. Now obviously, this number is a far cry from 150,000.
Thankfully, the official twitter account of Neyland was able to put together a portrait of Neyland and Bristol in comparison, and it's simply jaw-dropping. As you can see, Neyland literally fits inside of the race track.

That Latte Place
jkdrooling posted jkdrooling.blogspot.com 14 ReviewsSo so
You'd be amazed to be welcomed by open-air tables and chairs surrounded by lush greenery and a chilling atmosphere. It would probably be very humid and uncomfortable considering our country's tropical climate but with some the shades provided, we felt utterly cosy with a slight blanket of breeze. Priced reasonably with a satisfactory portion of scrambled eggs, sausages, diced potatoes, hash brown, toast and baked beans, this indeed hearty dish provides an all-round combo that you need to satisfy your hunger. But few items are not very well-executed - scrambled eggs are bland with a slight lack of butter and taste, diced potatoes aren't served warm (as if have been pre-cooked for some time without heating) and toast is just a plain piece of bread (not even toasted I guess). It would be more satisfying if these items are refined.

The name Boston is never new or foreign to Klang folks, even among several places beyond the Klang boundary. It has also become a universally known Chinese restaurant where you have to wait damn LONG for the food to be served. However, surprisingly, the crowd is always notable and amazingly, people are willing to sacrifice their time and energy waiting for it. Steamed Lala is one of the signature dishes in Boston, generally a must-order there. The average-sized clams are steamed along with abundant of ginger, pepper, cili padi (known also as bird's eye chili pepper) and some Chinese liquor. Then it is topped with fried garlic which provided an aromatic twist to it. The clams are cooked just right and the soup is truly divine! It has to be eaten while hot and be prepared to spice up your buds. I think Boston's chefs are really skillful as the clams cannot be overly cooked, otherwise they would shrink and harden.
Carnaval Churrascaria
Brazilian churrascaria captures the ideal spirit of a barbecue – wide choice of meat (no pork, no MSG) that is served freshly cooked and hot on your plate. There is a tangy tomato-and-onion sauce to go with it. Carnaval Churrascaria offers more than 10 cuts of meat –from beef, lamb, chicken, liver, gizzard, fish fillet, turkey ham and sausage – as well as whole grilled pineapple.

Hot Shots Coffee & Tea
relishbyrae posted relishbyrae.blogspot.com 15 ReviewsSuperb
Walking in the café, there are many espresso makers and grinder lining up on my right side. And there is an island in front of us that we can sit on, but we chose the little lounge sofa on the left side that looks much more comfortable. We were lucky to get the chance to explore the espresso makers, beans and tools in the café a little since there was barely any customer around. If you are looking for an espresso maker or grinder for your home or office, you may want to drop by HotShots as they carry several good one here. The hot fluffy raisin scone was good! It is served with premium jam, strawberries and thickened cream. I like the cranberries that are sprinkled on the plate. The scone was warm and soft, it smelled good, too. I have yet to try much from the menu, but I must say the Belgian waffles is really good and has become one of the reasons I will re-visit this café. It comes with either fresh strawberries or sweet pitted cherries. The warm Belgian chocolate is very rich, slightly bitter in a good way and it is definitely complement well with the waffles.

Dear Readers: Last week, "Curious Reader" asked if mass shootings are the price of society's insatiable appetite for media violence. A furious defense ensued from the male panelists (see our Jan. 19 column), who pointed to mentally disturbed individuals as the cause of mass shootings, not their games, movies and music, which they held sacrosanct.I agreed with the first part — and promised to talk this week about the inconvenient truth that massive childhood doses of virtual violence aren't innocent either — and that they are causing previously unforeseen neuro-cognitive maladaptions and breakdown. — Lauren
But first, some panelists less captivated by virtual violence:

Hockey Independent Summer Reads
Cris Cohen | Aug 01, 2012 | Comments 1
Until this past week, it's been a pretty dull off-season for hockey fans. The free agent frenzy was more of a fizzle. After Zach Parise and Ryan Suter opted for the Minnesota Wild, it took another three weeks for anything interesting to happen. The Philadelphia Flyers surprised the hockey world, extending a mega-offer sheet to Shea Weber that the Nashville Predators matched. Finally, the Rick Nash saga ended with an engagement on Broadway and Alexander Semin found a home in Raleigh, at least for one year. Shane Doan watch carries on, due to the continued uncertainty in Glendale.
The NHL Network may tide you over for awhile until you've had your fill of Oil Change episodes and Stanley Cup Playoff reruns that'll open old wounds if you're not an L.A. Kings fan. Then you'll be begging for September to come so training camp can open and pre-season can get under way. But if the NHL's initial CBA proposals are a harbinger of things to come, you'll have to wait a lot longer than that for the puck to drop. Then what?
Rather than hurl your remote at the television when you see NHL 36: Mike Richards is airing *sigh* again, why not pick up (or download) a hockey book? Some of the members of Hockey Independent staff have gotten together again and have shared some of their favorites.

"Searching For Bobby Orr" by Stephen Brunt
"Searching For Bobby Orr" by Stephen Brunt is near the top of the list among my favorite books. The book details the story of Bobby Orr, from his days in Parry Sound to his testimony against his former agent Alan Eagleson, who disgraced the sport by defrauding his clients during his time as an agent and executive director of the Players' Association. Orr turned down the request to take part in the book. However, Brunt got Orr's approval to do the story on one condition: that his family would be off limits.
Brunt did have the opportunity to interview former NHL defenseman Bucko McDonald, who was Orr's coach as a pre-teen, and Wren Blair, the Boston Bruins scout who first discovered the prodigy from Parry Sound. Orr's billets during his days with the Oshawa Generals, Jack and Cora Wild, were also interviewed for the book.
From reading the book, Orr's upbringing to his superstar status in the NHL, his story is self-made. Brunt relied on plenty of research from newspapers, magazine articles and those who knew Orr. From the first to last page, the title "Searching For Bobby Orr" fits the bill perfectly.In my opinion, Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player I've seen, but Robert Gordon Orr was one of those players that made me think "What could have been?" He was a great player, who retired so soon. Give me a hot tub time machine and I'll go back to the early 70s to see Orr play.

"The Code: The Unwritten Rules of Fighting and Retaliation in the NHL" by Ross Bernstein
The book takes an in-depth and insightful look at fighting and the so-called honor system in the NHL. "The Code: The Unwritten Rules of Fighting in the NHL" chronicles the history of fighting in the National Hockey League by interviewing over 50 players, coaches and media mavens who discuss why fighting is allowed and the tactics that are used surrounding the fight. Bernstein provides a balanced approach to this divisive issue and clearly explains the background of some of the most infamous fisticuffs that have taken place on NHL ice. The highlight of the book is the first-person accounts by many of the leagues enforcers such as Derek Boogaard, Todd Bertuzzi and Marty McSorley. It is an easy and captivating read.
Sports Illustrated calls "The Game" one of the ten best sports books of all-time. The book is an intelligently written work that lends unprecedented access and insight into being a member of an NHL team. Former Canadiens Hall of Fame goalie Ken Dryden pulls back the proverbial curtain and allows us to peek inside the workings of the 1970's Montreal Canadiens dynasty. Dryden takes us on the road, inside the locker room and on the ice in his last season (1978-79) in the NHL. This is a rare, thought provoking personal memoir written by a 30 year old Dryden without the use of a ghost writer. The book is presented well, chronicling the season, with Dryden inserting his opinions and comments about the players and the organization throughout. Dryden also discusses topics such as leadership, belonging to a team and NHL history in this sensitive portrayal of an NHL player's life. It is a very cerebral read and well worth your time.

"Full 60 To History" by Eric Tosi and John Bishop
A special thanks goes out to Eric Tosi, Matt Chmura and the rest of the Boston Bruins' communications department for providing all of us media folk with a copy of "Full 60 to History" on the final day of the 2011-12 regular season. It was a tremendously generous gesture – its retail value is $49.99 — from a staff that does remarkable work all season long.
The book tells the magical tale of the Bruins' run to Stanley Cup glory in the spring and summer of 2011 from a point-of-view unlike any other. As told by Mr. Tosi, Bruins' public relations guru and John Bishop, BostonBruins.com beat reporter and web content manager, who were present for the entire length of the season, this wonderful work of literature gets you as close to the Bruins' championship season as humanly possible.
From the chronicling of captain Zdeno Chara's lucky Slovakian horse shoe to the first-hand account of what led to a 1972 copper penny being frozen into the TD Garden ice prior to the season, "Full 60 To History" brings fans of the Black and Gold behind closed doors with many captivating anecdotes within the story.
The evolution of head coach Claude Julien and many of the players were expertly captured and give readers an inside look at all of the hard work and dedication that goes into winning the most coveted prize in all of sports, the Stanley Cup.
There is no doubt in the mind of this scribe; "Full 60 to History" is the best piece of Boston Bruins themed literature on the market today and should receive a perfect five-star rating in any publication that chooses to review it. The book will live on forever in the annals of Boston Bruins hockey, as it tells the story of one of the greatest teams in franchise history and their efforts to quench the thirst of a puck-crazed city in search of its sixth Stanley Cup championship.

"New York Rangers Seventy-Five Years" by John Halligan; Foreword by Wayne Gretzky
Almost twelve years later, I still laugh when I think of that Christmas my brother and I gave this book to each other, right down to the same edition. But that's not the only reason this coffee-table book is special to me.
"New York Rangers Seventy-Five Years" is an excellent written and visual history of the longest running show on Broadway. The late John Halligan, who served as the Rangers' Public Relations Director, takes the reader through over seven decades, from the team's birth in 1926 (noting Conn Smythe put the first team together at a cost of $32,000.00) to the overlooked 1933 Stanley Cup victory to the unbelievable spring and summer of 1994 and capped off with Wayne Gretzky's final bow in 1999.
The book also has contributions from other writers that enhance the story of the Original Six franchise. Dave Anderson spotlights the Mullen brothers, who grew up in Hell's Kitchen playing roller hockey; Stu Hackel focuses on the Russian Rangers, the first to have their names inscribed on the Stanley Cup. Former Rangers goaltender and broadcaster John Davidson selects the 75th Anniversary Team (somewhat of a misnomer, as the selection is one player at each position).
Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool old timer from the days when Madison Square Garden sat on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets or "New Blue," it's a must-have.

The best digital camera

$450 will get you a good digital. I do not think "best" is a valid concept when it comes to this type of technology. What is your experience level? To a beginner "best" is much different then "best" for an experienced amateur photographer. I have found a dramatic improvement in photo quality with a 5MP camera over my older 3MP. With $450 to spend, do not look at anything below 5MP, also I value optics, you should be able to get something with sizable glass optics. Remember it is the optics that deliver the light to the CCD, without good Optics the best you can do is marginal.
I am not convinced that brand makes a lot of difference. Look for the camera that YOU like the feel of, that has controls that YOU understand and can use. It is pointless to spend money on features that you have no use for.
I have gotten good use of my HP945, but some of its features require a bit o knowledge to fully utilize. This camera falls well inside your price range but may be more complex then you need, or want.
Tell us more about your experience level and your needs, we can provide better info.

Laura Story is having a kudos-filled month.
Slightly more than a week after nabbing her first Grammy Award for best contemporary Christian music song for "Blessings," Story, a worship leader at Perimeter Church in Johns Creek, scored five nominations for this year's Dove Awards – Christian music's most treasured acknowledgement.
The nominees for the 43rd annual ceremony, to be held for the second year in Atlanta on April 19 at the Fox Theatre, were revealed Wednesday morning across the street from the venue in the Georgian Terrace hotel.
A trio of Christian artists – quadruple nominee Jamie Grace, champion wrestler AJ Styles and hip-hopper-turned-minister Montell Jordan – announced the competitors in key categories in more than 40 categories.
Grace performed her nominated "Hold Me," with her sister Morgan playing guitar.
"I remember sitting at the kitchen table holding the antenna so I could watch the Doves and hear Natalie Grant sing," the 20-year-old singer-songwriter said, smiling in her pink cowboy boots.
The show returns to the Fox after a sold-out event last year that garnered more than 1.5 million viewers when it later aired on the Gospel Music Channel. Prior to its Atlanta debut, the Doves had always been held in Tennessee.
"It was such a great experience," said Jackie Patillo, executive director of the Gospel Music Association, which presents the Doves. "A lot of Christian artists are based here and we received a lot of support from the churches. We had to come back."
Story, meanwhile, is up for song of the year for "Blessings," as well as female vocalist of the year, pop/contemporary song and album and the coveted artist of the year, won last year by Canton-based Francesca Battistelli.
The sweet-voiced Battistelli is back this year, too, and will compete with Story for female vocalist honors (along with Kari Jobe, Mandisa and Natalie Grant) and pop/contemporary album with her "Hundred More Years" release.
Others in the running for artist of the year are McDonough-based Casting Crowns (which landed two other nominations); Atlanta's Lecrae; Jason Crabb, who leads the Dove nominations with eight; and The Isaacs.
Chris Tomlin, a worship leader at Atlanta's Passion City Church, is also following up his inaugural Grammy win with a trio of Dove nominations for male vocalist of the year, praise and worship album ("And if Our God is For Us…") and short form video ("I Lift My Hands").
Another local artist making a big sound is newcomer Grace, a student at Point University, a Christian college in East Point.
Grace, who was also just nominated for her first-ever Grammy, will try to score wins for song of the year and pop/contemporary song ("Hold Me"), new artist and pop/contemporary album ("One Song at a Time").
Other nominees in the massive song of the year category are Natalie Grant ("Alive," "Your Great Name"); the Perrys ("Celebrate Me Home"); Casting Crowns ("Glorious Day [Living He Loved Me]"); Kirk Franklin ("I Smile"); Ernie Haase & Signature Sound ("I've Been Here Before"); Gaither Vocal Band ("Please Forgive Me"); and Jason Crabb ("Who Am I").
Area singers popped up in a couple of other categories: Canton Jones will vie for urban recorded song of the year with "Windows" – also a recent Grammy nominee – while Karen Peck & New River, of Dahlonega, is up for country recorded song ("Good Things are Happening") and southern gospel album ("Reach Out") and Jeff and Sheri Easter are nominated for country recorded song of the year ("I Get To").
Here's a complete list of nominees.

Congrats to all the nominees and I hope the event this year at the Fox is as good as it was last year!

Love Laura Story!!!! I'm so grateful to be able to hear her at church when she sings. True talent. What a year for her! Grammys, Dove Nominations, new baby on the way… Doubt very seriously she would read this but, God bless you and Martin, Laura.

Congrats to all my music buddies!!!! Good Luck guys! Can't wait for the Doves
@southsidedawg – Melissa is right. A nice suit will be fine. When i first went to the dove's i had no clue what to wear. I had to fly to Nashville (when it was in Nashville) and several musicians/promoters took me "fashion" shopping cause I was born and raised in Georgia and fashion wasn't my thing. ha

Lyrics & Chords
Shabarimala and the devotees are a part of my life. Seeing the utmost devotion and sacrifices they are offering in order to get a glimpse their most beloved Lord is such a heart-filling sight!
Dedicating this song to All the Devotees and especially My Friends Nagaraj (Yahoo) and Sreeji (my other self), who had requested to do Harivarasanam but I couldn't due to my limited singing abilities.
I have seen our Muziboo friend LK has already sung this song's Malayalam version (With the maximum Bhakti-bhavam I must say) and hence I switched the language. Dasettan had rendered this Kannada Original version too.
If you think I could render the bhakti-bhavam at least to the minimum percent, my humble effort is fruitful!
God Bless All of you!
always a fan of your voice texture santosh… nalla ganam, very much suited for bhakti bhavam :-) every kanana vaasa felt divine
please sing more devotional numbers

Vallatha oru haunting song aanu idhu… This is a song I have grown up listening to… I have very special attachment to all songs in this volume of Ayyappa ganangal….
You did a fabulous job! Bhakthi bhaavam niranja oru rendition! Felt like I was listening to Madhu Balakrishnan at many places! Am a huge fan of his singing too! Fantastic bro!
Just like Adithichechi said, your bhakthi bhaavam in this song would make anybody overlook diction issues! Great job!
All the very best! Swami Sharanam!

Hi Santhosh……
I am completely agreeing with Biju….First of all , your voice…………That is non-comparable……It sounds just like Madhu chettan….I think that's what made Ajay to say that the original in kannada was sung by Madhu chettan himself….But i am so sorry to Ajay that it was done by our Gana gandharvan only……….
Your voice is exactly like Madhu chettan….I have commented it several times……"Bhavam" was very nice………You have brought all the feel & expressions as it required………I liked it a lot.
All the very best

Classic Kruger National Park Safari Camp Reviews
"Exceptional experience!"
14 August 2013
I highly recommend using Outlook as a great way of experiencing Kruger. You maximize your experience as you do not have to be concerned with details of eating and rooming let alone getting around the area to view animals. I stayed in a bungalow which was basic but very adequate. I found all Outlook staff to be excellent, excelling in everything including food and guides. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, eager to share information about the various animals we saw. Shared information added to the experience in a way I could have not appreciated if I were alone, trying to find my way around. The food was outstanding, my vegetarian diet not a problem for the chef. The drivers are prompt, efficient and patient. The passion the Outlook staff has for their work is very evident, making the overall experience exceptional. I wound not hesitate to use them again.

"Absolutely brilliant"
28 June 2013
We spent 3 nights in Skukuza Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park. Outlook arranged everything. It all worked like clockwork, from collecting us from our Jo'burg hotel to the amazing panoramic tour on the way back. Their chef prepared some excellent meals and we enjoyed the company of our fellow travellers. Our guide (Debbie) was exceptional. Not only was she very knowledgeable but she was very friendly and helpful too. We were glad that we didn't try to tour the park on our own. We would have missed so much.

The Sioux Falls Events Center won't get a multi-million dollar down payment.
At Monday's city council meeting, Mayor Mike Huether suggested the city put $4 million in capitol improvement reserves towards the Events Center.
That money came from a second penny sales tax.
But a majority of the council voted against that idea.
Council Member Vernon Brown told KSFY Monday night members said the new money should be used for old priorities, like improving city streets.

Broad shoulders + ripped jeans = cute engagement photos
Taking the best engagement pictures requires that all things to fall into place. While perfection isn't usually the goal, representing the couple perfectly with the photographs is.
Stay in Character
Creating perfect opportunities for amazing shots of the happy couple may require a bit of encouragement. If they seem stiff or reserved due to nervousness, help them to lighten up by adding laughter to the mix. In the event that they are quiet or shy to begin with, follow suit. Staying in the character of the bride and groom as much as possible yourself should foster a conducive mood for realistic and more natural photographs.
Look for Perfect Lighting
A place that is evenly lit will result in more attractive engagement pictures. Particularly for close-ups, shade on faces should be avoided. Ample light without brightness, such as a cloud cover in daylight, will allow for any type of shot. Don't rule out the evening as a perfect backdrop either. A romantic ensemble by candle or moon light will reveal soft and glowing tones. Find the perfect combination between what makes incredible photographs and what the couple is most comfortable with.
Complement with Color
The color of the bride and groom's clothing is very important to the finished product. Suggest that they wear something that highlights eyes and hair first, and coordinates with each other second. Although simple black and white outfits can be elegant, they are somewhat stoic and many couples find that their engagement pictures look generic or dated.
Strike Natural Poses
While the couple should engage in romantic and interactive poses, they shouldn't look like a pair of mannequins. It's best to capture them in the act of snuggling, laughing or poking at one another. Quite often, the best pictures to come out of any photo shoot are the ones that were not planned or staged. If the bride and groom don't believe that they are being photographed, they will seem more relaxed and natural in the photographs.
Have a Trendy Photographic Style
Unfortunately, one couple's engagement photographs don't usually differ from another's. However, a photographic style can make all the difference in creating something distinguished. Try angles that accentuate physical features or techniques that capture mood and emotion. The couple's personal ambiance, which should emerge from the event within a few minutes of starting the shoot, can be used to emphasize a certain style. All elements combine to add to the personality of the pictures, but the style of the photographer or certain techniques applied will produce a set of pictures that really say "Wow".
An engagement photo shoot should be lively and fun. If all technical elements are in place, the romantic rapport between the bride and groom will carry the event to picture-perfect results.
Cute engagement photo involving a mans favorite hobby - fishing, and the love of his life. Happy trolling :)
First of all thank you to everyone who has taken the time to submit their engagement photos. I've taken some time off and haven't had the time to keep up so I apologize to all of you who have submitted photos. I hope to continue monitoring and updating this site so please keep on sending your special photos. As of now I plan on uploading new photography at least once a week and with the Holidays around the corner I expect to see some awesome and inspiring engagement photos!
Lastly, I want to update everyone with the latest news of this site. Here are some of my goals within the next couple of months:
1. Highlight weddings: The idea behind this is to post a blurb about recent weddings. Whether it's your wedding day or a friends, I would love to hear about it. Tell me about the event, how you planned it, and everything that led up to that special day. In return I promise to promote it and give other wedding goers planning ideas and other insights into their big day. Feel fee to submit any interesting stories that may have happened during your wedding. We all have that drunk uncle or dad that makes the wedding that much more memorable :)
2. Social Media:I am trying to involve social media more to add additional exposure to your special engagement photos. If you have any ideas on how to do this let me know, but continue to share this site and in return I will do personal outreach to help share your special day.
Thanks everyone and looking forward to the holiday season!!

Cancer Health Center
Is There an Anticancer Diet?
Vegetables for Bladder Cancer Prevention
Raw cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, broccoli sprouts, cabbage, and
cauliflower seem to reduce bladder cancer risk by about 40%, researchers from
Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., reported at the meeting. That's
due to compounds they contain called isothiocyanates or ITCs, thought to be
protective against bladder cancer.
"Raw cruciferous vegetables are better than the cooked vegetables because cooking time reduces the amount of isothiocyanates by 60% to 90%," says Li Tang, MD, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Roswell Park who led one of the studies.
Her team surveyed the eating habits of 275 people with a diagnosis of bladder cancer and 825 healthy people. They asked them about pre-diagnosis intakes of raw and cooked vegetables, their cigarette smoking habits, and other risk factors.
Nonsmokers who ate at least three servings a month were about 73% less likely to develop bladder cancer than those who smoked and ate less than three servings a month.
Broccoli sprouts may be even better to ward off bladder cancer, says Yuesheng Zhang, MD, PhD, professor of oncology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, who studied the effect of broccoli sprouts in animals. His team studied four groups of animals. One group drank a solution known to cause bladder cancer and ate freeze-dried extracts of broccoli sprouts; other groups just ate the broccoli extract or just drank the carcinogen. Another group did nothing, serving as the comparison group.
"Of those who took the carcinogen [only], 96% had a tumor" after 10 months, he says. Of those who drank the carcinogen and also ate the broccoli extract, only 37 developed cancer.
Again, it's the ITCs that are thought to be protective. Broccoli sprouts seem to work, he says, by activating two enzymes important in detoxifying carcinogens.

Q: Why do men talk about other women to their wife? And is it insensitive for a guy to tell their wife that another woman is hot and sexy?--Alyson P.
A: Those are great questions. First of all, not all men do this; in fact, most don't. Men who do talk about other women with their wives are not being respectful or empathetic to their wives. So yes, it is insensitive to tell your wife another woman is hot and sexy.
What underlies your questions is the nearly universal habit of men noticing other women. This issue comes up regularly in my counseling for men and their partners. Men being visually attracted to other women, even in just the form of noticing them, can take several forms:
I'm a guy, so I know what a challenge this can be for men, especially because we are wired to be visually stimulated and live in such a sexually orientated world. I would ask for some empathy from women about how hard this can be for us. Nevertheless, we men need to control our behavior because the above actions are:
The bottom line is that if it makes you uncomfortable, your husband should respect and respond to that. And you should ask and expect him to.
Unfortunately, a lot of women struggle with having a healthy self-identity and don't value themselves enough to expect this from their partners. Don't be this kind of a wife, you deserve to be treated better. If your husband doesn't know how to change his behaviors, that's okay, he can learn how by going to marriage counseling for men.

As this tour departs at 0730 we recommend that you book pre-tour accommodation. Please request hotel details at the time of booking.
Day 1: San Francisco to Yosemite National Park
Before leaving San Francisco we drive enjoy a brief orientation tour around the city including a close-up view of the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge. Completed in 1937, this iconic suspension bridge stretches for 2.7 km (1.7 miles) and is probably the most photographed bridge in the world. After departing San Francisco we head east through California's historic gold country and set up camp at the scenic Yosemite National Park region - our 'home' for the next three nights.
Accommodation: Camping with lunch & dinner included
Day 2-3: Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park sits nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range of northern California. Here green forest meets granite walls measuring several thousand feet in height. Rock climbers come from all over the world to scale the rocks whilst hikers get to walk to the base of some of the largest waterfalls in the world. After a visit to see the amazing giant sequoia trees, Yosemite Valley beckons. Here we may bicycle, take a dip in the Merced River or wander the meadows. We will get to hike on the many trails that will enable us to leave the crowds behind. The famous sites situated along these trails include Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, Vernal Falls, Mirror Lake and Half Dome. The views are breathtaking from every vantage point - the granite formations of Half Dome, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks are sure to be forever etched on our minds.
Accommodation: Camping with all meals included
Day 4: Death Valley
Leaving Yosemite's towering sequoias behind, today's journey is one of incredible contrast as we make our way southwest through the State of California. After leaving the lush forest of the Sierra Nevada we overnight in one of the hottest, driest and lowest places on earth, Death Valley. This arid area has only 5cm of rainfall each year and offers some incredible vistas and natural formations. With temperatures regularly reaching above 40 degrees, you'll be glad your hotel has air conditioning!
Accommodation: Hotel included. Meals paid locally.
Day 5: Zion National Park
We make our way to Utah and our destination - Zion National Park. Zion Canyon was named by the early Mormon settlers of Utah who thought of it as their 'promised land'. Some of the best hiking in this desert terrain of southwest USA can be found here in and around the fertile Virgin River as it meanders below massive, cathedral-like, sandstone walls. With an early arrival today and two nights here, we will have plenty of time to explore after we set up camp for our two-night stay.
Accommodation: Camping with all meals included
Day 6: Zion National Park
We have a full day to further explore the delights of Zion National Park. There are various hikes to choose from, ranging from easy to strenuous ones. We warm up our legs by taking some of the short hikes from the valley floor to view the Lower Emerald pool and then continue on to the sparkling Upper Emerald pools, passing a waterfall along the way to discover Zion's "beach." We can also cool off from the summer sun by exploring the Riverside Walk section of the Virgin River.
If you are feeling ambitious, enjoy the park's more challenging option and ascend 760 metres (2500 feet) to experience unbeatable panoramic views from the top of Angels Landing. After a beautiful but strenuous hike along the knife-edge ridgeline you will be rewarded with one of the most breathtaking and powerful panoramas you will ever experience. If weather conditions permit, you may choose to hike deep into the Zion Narrows. Of course, horse riding is available if you'd prefer a seat with a view!
Accommodation: Camping with all meals included
Day 7: Bryce Canyon
Leaving Zion National Park we climb in elevation to almost 2438 metres (8000 feet) and traverse a high plateau to Bryce Canyon National Park. "Mysterious", "breathtaking" and "out of this world", are only a few of the descriptions offered by past visitors to describe this fascinating natural amphitheatre of pink, orange and white sandstone spires, known locally as 'hoodoos'. There are a variety of scenic overlooks and trails that range from easy to moderate in difficulty. The Navajo trail will enable us to hike right in amongst these unique rock formations. Some of us may prefer to hike on the Queen's Garden trail or remain on the rim and photograph the ever-changing shadows and hues as the sun makes its way across the wide-open sky. A short drive takes us to our lovely campsite at nearby Kodachrome Basin State Park
Accommodation: Camping with all meals included
Day 8: Lake Powell
Visit Horseshoe Bend for that classic Colorado River view, then enjoy a day of relaxation by beautiful Lake Powell. Located on the border of Utah and Arizona and created by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River, Lake Powell has a shoreline that stretches longer than the western coast of the USA! Many say that Glen Canyon was even more spectacular than the Grand Canyon before the 500-ft tall dam was built. Now the lake is a haven for water sports or just relaxing in one of the many sandstone coves. We enjoy our day of fun in the sun and spend an evening camped out under the desert stars.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included
Day 9: Monument Valley
In the heart of the Navajo Nation, Monument Valley is sacred land to those who call it home. The red sandstone monoliths and spectacular sunsets and sunrises have been the backdrop to countless 'westerns' featuring cowboys riding off into the desert. We explore the incredible array of rock formations on an included guided backroads tour and learn the magic and myth of the rich Native American culture. Our camp is also on the Navajo Tribal Lands of Monument Valley and is a true photographer's paradise. There is also ample time to relax and view the valley's surreal sunset.
Accommodation: Camping with all meals included
Day 10-11: Grand Canyon National Park
Leaving Monument Valley we drive towards Grand Canyon. Traversing the eastern entrance of the canyon, we catch our first glimpse of it at Desert View. This incredible spectacle is difficult to comprehend, even as you stand at the rim or hike down into the canyon. Carved over several millennia, this massive wonder of nature is 445 kilometres (277 miles) long, up to 29 kilometres (18 miles) wide and over 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) deep. Snaking through the canyon floor is the mighty Colorado River, which runs 2330 kilometres (1450 miles) through seven US states and two Mexican states.
In your free time, we highly recommend a scenic helicopter flight over the canyon, which offers perspectives that you cannot see by visiting on foot. Also recommended is the film show at the IMAX Theater, which will give you a good overview of the area and how it developed. Alternatively, stroll the easy meandering South Rim Trail, hike your way down the more challenging trail to Plateau Point, or simply relax at the canyon's edge and enjoy a spectacular sunset over one of the World's natural wonders. There is also time to shop for local souvenirs.
Accommodation: Camping with all meals included
Day 12: Las Vegas
Leaving nature behind, we visit the quirky Route 66 town of Seligman before arriving at the neon splendour of Las Vegas, where we say our farewells. If you are staying on in this city, you'll have time to relax by the pool before a big night of bright lights, casinos and world class shows!
