Playing pretend and make believe: do children still do it?
My friend came across an interesting group of children the other day. She was babysitting them and asked if they wanted to play pretend. The answer dumbfounded her. They didn't know what playing pretend was.
This got me thinking. On the one hand, there are some parents who say that college starts in kindergarden, and will put money and effort into making sure their children go to pre-schools that teach skills that could possibly put them above their peers come kindergarden.
On the other hand, we live in one of the most interesting times in human history. Most children, from the moment they are born, have access to television, and apps on smartphones that are easy enough for them to operate.
I never grew up with a smartphone in my life like my little cousin who is 8. He plays Angry birds on his dad's iphone whenever we get together at holiday parties and whatnot. My first game system was a N64 when I was about 10, and the internet (dial up) when I was about 12. I didn't get a computer until I was in the seventh grade.
I grew up playing the backyard with a plastic sword and a cap rifle from disneyland, or in the living room with a wooden train set. With young children being exposed to all this constantly, it makes me wonder if imagination is dead, or if it just has become something else. I'm not sure. What are your thoughts on it?

Apr 28 2013: I probably should not be responding while being distracted by my four-year-old granddaughter who is being a baby cheetah prowling around on all fours purring, squealing with delight and pawing at my shins, for attention I imagine. Now, what was the question?

Apr 28 2013: All right you win this round sir. The basic question is, do parents (not all clearly) push childhood creativity out of the way in favor of early education that's not napping and finger-painting?
edward long
Apr 28 2013: I did not intend to derail the debate sir. My personal experience is that little ones today are as well-traveled in imaginary far away places as any of us were. I do believe that certain innovations in technology have presented very attractive alternatives to simple, unencumbered playtime. It seems reasonable that if parents become too devoted to filling every waking moment of the child's day with techno-tools that little imaginations could atrophy. What a shame to think of a young one feeling guilty for pretending to be a pirate or a princess.
- +1
Apr 29 2013: The reason I bring it up is because I see it in my family. Granted my siblings and I are older than the ones in the preface, but my parents pushed very early on to find something that we enjoyed, but could also be marketable. I attended an arts high school and really developed a love writing, acting and filmmaking, all things highly creative, and by my parents standards highly unemployable.
Now I'm not saying that things like math and science aren't creative. It's just hard for a lot of people to wrap their heads around topics like that. What I am saying is, say a child early on loves telling stories, later, he realizes he can write them and pass on the joy he has to others through writing. But then someone tells him that being a writer isn't practical, and he should choose something else. It's saddens me to think about lost opportunities like that.
edward long
Apr 29 2013: RE: "The reason I bring it up, , , " That is a sad scenario. I have never experienced personally or by observation such ambition in parents. To cast aside the freedom of childhood in favor of enhanced employability is a poor choice. Kids will be kids it is said. Maybe it should say kids should be kids.
- +1
Apr 29 2013: I am also not personally familiar with parents focusing on employability for the very young.
By secondary school that often changes, I know.

May 3 2013: How would you answer a child's question of why the sky is blue and why the night is black?

I need imaginary answers, not scientific phenomonaMay 1 2013: Yes. Children still pretend and play make believe. It's just not always in the same forms that older generations are used to. Take, for example, just to bring up the game(s) and computers angle of your post. Yes, at the surface level, it might seem simplistic or not at all imaginative or creative. But if you look online at some of the things that people are doing with game narratives (fan fiction, fan art, live-action or animated fan films, machinima, mods, clones, spin offs, etc) there is a wealth of creativity that is being used - often utilizing at least some form of pretending or playing make believe.Apr 30 2013: From a developmental stand point, all children "pretend" or engage in fantasy play
"In Vivian Gussin Paley's book, A Child's Work: The Importance of Fantasy Play, she cites the landmark work of Sara Smilansky which found that children who lacked the skills necessary for fantasy play also struggled in other areas of classroom learning. High quality play, she found, could be taught by children, to children, and appeared to be the "necessary precursor for every other kind of learning in a classroom." (pg 71)

Apr 29 2013: I wonder how many adults do?

The U.S. discourages such as crazy or undesirable at the very least in need of medication.
Yet I would contend that the founders used this very skill to imagine a country filled with imaginers, imagine that today?
Apr 29 2013: You bring up a larger issue as well sir about the stagnation of technology due in part to a lack of imagination and creativity.
I will cite these two talks as evidence.
Though I do disagree with the whole country discouraging people as crazy or undesirable. I would say maybe that the US sees people with artistic creativity as not useful to the capitalist system we use because it's well not useful to the system. The thing is, if you put an artistically creative person in the right environment, then you will see some spectacular innovation.
Apr 29 2013: My comment is in reference to the current culture that does not encourage imaginative thinking.
Compared to the past, undeniably the most imaginative in the history of the world.

Apr 28 2013: I love to fly kites and being that the field, where I fly, is very close to 2 schools my kites get lots of attention.
- +1
I have no idea if the kids are more amazed at the kites or the greyed haired old broad who is flying them.
But! It didn't take long for several kids to twist a parent's arm to get their own kite & fly next to me.
Now Delta kites are great for dives etc. so can see where I am now going with this.
Dive bombings & all sorts of aerial displays now have sound effects and kites are now have pilot names.
These kids used their imagination to create a whole world of fun on a breezy day.
You might say: The old is blending with the new.Apr 28 2013: I also pay attention to nowaday children,they are quite different from us anymore:less and less them play wildly like us in countryside:played with all kinds of plants,animals...now those children,more and more of them just stay at home playing games with all kinds of electronic products...i have no idea it is good or bad,or any differences bewteen them and us.But it really deserves to observe and have more researching in detail.
Apr 28 2013: I don't think television and video games are bad mind you. True they should probably get outside more, but I've seen that video games in particular inspire creative and imaginative ideas as much as they consume time. My younger brother (he's 13) for example is enamored with any flying vehicle in a game and always tries to think of ways that a design like he's seen would function in real life. It wouldn't surprise me if he became an engineer just to make his favorite aircraft a reality.Apr 28 2013: This is a very interesting topic. I've noticed that in this current era, with technology all over, children aren't left alone with their own thoughts anymore. Creativity and imagination only come alive when the physical world ceases to entertain us, so we make up things in our head to make reality more enjoyable. Children don't "play" anymore, simple as that. Kids these days want Ipads and technology, not toys.
Apr 28 2013: I'm not saying it's dead necessarily. I'm sure children watching a tv show will daydream and think about going on an adventure with their heros. What I'm saying is they take those ideas and use them as a base for their adventures instead of making up their own if that makes sense. Because they're exposed to all this media so young, again not saying it's bad, but because of it, their creative process to me is stunted because they don't come up with original ideas necessarily.
Now on that note there's a big difference between how children use imagination when they are alone and how they use it with others.
Fritzie -
Apr 28 2013: I think children always have been influenced in their character play by characters with which they are acquainted. In the early days of television and thereafter, it might have been television characters. In the days prior, they might have been influenced by comic book heroes and the types from fairy tales- princesses, knights, witches, elves, cowboys... in addition to imaginary friends and creatures that live in closets, toys that come alive... Purely by way of anecdote, the characters that have animated the play in my house over these many years are not media connected. There are two, shall we say, whole civilizations populated by characters clearly not drawn from media that have become the stuff of songs, poetry, drama, visual art, and legend. There is an additional community I might call "retired" that was based on an easily constructed origami geometric shape.

Apr 28 2013: You know I didn't think of it that way, that's quite the brilliant insight.Apr 29 2013: RE: "I am also not personally. . . " Agreed. By the age of 16 the pretending playtime should have been replaced with more focused, factual thought patterns and habits. That does NOT mean imagination should be laid to rest.May 4 2013: Oh this is a good question. In some ways all this technology can give kids more ways to expand their imagination however I guess it doesn't give them the chance to get bored enough to think lets make a fort like I used to when I was younger and bored...and would still do today if I had the chance. The whole thing about educating kids from an early age can also help their imagination more as they will know more about the world around them however if your hard on kids from a earlier age they don't really have time to just be kids and do things like play pretend.
I really hope that kids do still play pretend as I think it has a endless amount of benefits such as helping with their critical thinking skills. Some of my best memories as a kid was playing pretend....and I still indulge in playing pretend now as an adult however now sadly I either do it though online role play or in secret as seeing a grown woman sitting in a fort is a bit worrying...wish it wasn't.May 4 2013: It's an interesting question you pose here, Case, and is something I was just thinking about the other day. With all this technology kids seem to use their imagination much less. They also seem to get bored more easily. Why is this? Perhaps they are becoming too used to a busy world with technology to keep them occupied. I wonder what future technology may bring.
When I was growing up I spend a lot of time playing outside, and it saddens me somewhat to see my sister whiling away hours on my Dad's iPhone. But it's a different world out there now.
I guess where children live has a bearing on how much time they spend using their imagination or spending time outdoors. Children living in rural areas might have less activities to keep them occupied and so might be more inclined to play pretend.
Overall, I think children do still use their imaginations and play pretend, but they just don't have to do it as much in this day and age.

May 3 2013: Chris, I loved reading this, and how you emphasize the importance of allowing kids 'their alone time'. I love being involved in my kids' development and joining in their play, but it also means I sometimes need to step back and let them discover things for themselves.May 4 2013: Chris, I love this example as it is so bang on correct.
I would add only one piece to it, that you and Lizanne have alluded to. That is not just "alone time" but down time where children do not have a requirement to do something. The students I work with have alone time but it is most often spent focusing on work and studies. The down time, where they have no requirements to do anything, allows the students mind to wander and become creative. Or to pursue something that they are passionate about. These down times allow us to free ourselves from the bounds of "what we have to do" and "daydream" which is a powerful piece of our psyche.
May 4 2013: Hi Everett - what a good observation, and one that makes me think. I agree, as soon as you give a child an assignment or require them to do something, their imaginations will be more hindered.
My kids (whom I learn from on a daily basis!) are just beginning to develop a relationship with one another, rather than playing 'parallel' to each other (they are 5 and 6 years old). Being together produces conflict as well as creativity and pretending (they are siblings, after all!) I observe they often come up with more pretend play when they are together.
They tend to determine by themselves when they are ready for 'down time', their individual time to reflect, to daydream, to space out, things that are best one alone.
I understand what you mean about older kids needing 'alone time' to study. Heck, as a Mom, I need 'alone time' too (which I only get when I go to the bathroom!!)
Would you agree that for younger kids, who don't yet require time alone to study or contemplate big issues, 'alone time' and 'down time' is the same thing?
May 4 2013: I do agree with you for younger children. I would even go so far as to say that this play time is much more important than maybe other times during the day to explore and just be creative. Alone time and down time is often the same thing but not always.
I would only qualify this with the nature of the family dynamic. Some family dynamics, that are not well, "good" alone time and down time would be radically different. However, for most families, with young children, they could be considered the same for sake of this discussion.'May 3 2013: In short, yes, children still play pretend and make-believe.
I watch groups of children racing around the complex I live in playing all sorts of games from "war" to "house". The run and chase and have fun all the while they are creating their own world. On the other hand, I work in a school where play is suppressed in favor of education. Not by the school mind you but by those who wish to see their children succeed.
Even those students who are pushed to succeed and play is suppressed, those children still find time to make believe and pretend. Though in shorter bursts and bits, but it still exists. And yes, play is a survival skill.May 2 2013: Hi Case!
I was actually a bit concerned about my 5-year-old son, who, when invited by his 6-year-old sister to play a game of make-believe involving talking teddy bears, answered defiantly: "But he can't talk!"
I feared he was a natural-born realist.
Thankfully, that same afternoon, I saw them playing pirates and princesses in the yard.
I just stumbled upon an article on babble.com (on which I got hitched after watching a candid TED presentation by Babble publishers, Rufus Griscom and Alisa Volkman) called The Case for Make Believe:
It says, among other things, that "The capacity to play is a survival skill." and "...each child's pretend play is unique". Pretending is like music or arts and crafts, it is a form of expression, which helps kids deal with situations, emotions, encouraging communication and respect for one another.
Besides all the wonderful, creative benefits of 'free play', it is, according to an article in Scientific American, even seriously important:
Psychiatrist Stuart Brown suggests "...a lack of opportunities for unstructured, imaginative play can keep children from growing into happy, well-adjusted adults", and explains in his research how Charles Whitman, along with a few dozen other convicted killers, "were from abusive families, and they never played as kids".
If this is true, I pledge to never stop pretending!May 1 2013: "On the one hand, there are some parents who say that college starts in kindergarden, and will put money and effort into making sure their children go to pre-schools that teach skills that could possibly put them above their peers come kindergarden."
It's not about being above your peers.
http://www.ted.com/talks/kirk_citron_and_now_the_real_news.htmlMay 1 2013: yeah, my younger sisters do it all the time.May 1 2013: I don't think imagination and pretending ever stop, although maybe they do get a bit more subtle as you get older. For example, amongst the drivers out there, who hasn't found themselves driving along on a quiet country road imagining they were a racing driver, or who has never found themselves singing in the shower imagining they are on stage at a big venue....................or is that just me?

Praxair's Brazilian subsidiary White Martins has started up a new air separation plant at Alagoas, Brazil. Praxair will supply nitrogen and oxygen to Braskem as a part of the long-term contract.

text: Notre Dame receives accepting schools award Created: 24 June 2015 Print Email Congratulations to Notre Dame High School for being one of the recipients of the 2014-15 Premier's Award for Accepting Schools! The award recognizes school teams that have done exceptional and innovative work in promoting a safe, inclusive and accepting school environment. A number of programs have helped Notre Dame accomplish this goal. The Helping Hand Team developed educational awareness programs that taught students about mental health and well-being. They also organized a number of student-led activities to help students manage anxiety such as relaxation classes, administering student stress quizzes and providing a program on mental health conditions. The Healthy Transitions Program, facilitated by local public health staff, helped ease the transition into high school for Grade 7 and 8 students. An annual multicultural event included an evening of traditional ethnic cuisines, a talent show and a parent panel discussion on challenges faced by newcomers and how to improve their school experience. Congratulations to Notre Dame on this prestigious and well-deserved award!

Lunar Orbiter 5 was the last in a series of highly successful missions to map the Moon for potential landing sites and conduct general observational surveys. Two days after a midcourse correction on 3 August, it entered lunar orbit at 16:48 UT. Initial orbital parameters were 196 x 6,040 kilometers at 85.0° inclination.
The spacecraft photographed 36 different areas on the near side and mapped most of the far side via a set of 212 frames during its first month in orbit. These included five potential Apollo landing sites as well as possible targets for Surveyor missions. Controllers also extensively used the spacecraft to map the Moon's gravitational field in order to predict orbital perturbations on future lunar orbital missions.
The probe also obtained spectacular high-quality photos of Earth showing Africa and the Middle East. Lunar Orbiter 5 was commanded to land on the lunar surface and did so at 0° north latitude and 70° west longitude on 31 January 1968. In total, the five Lunar Orbiters photographed 99 percent of the lunar surface.

A scar is skin that forms over a wound as the skin heals. There are five main types of abnormal scars:
A scar is part of the normal healing process. The scar is made of the same material as the surrounding skin but it is made a little differently. As a result, the scar tissue appears different than the surrounding skin.
Factors that may increase your chance of having a scar include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A scar may first look red and thick. It may may feel numb, itchy, painful, or sensitive. Some scars may also cause physical difficulties. For example a scar on the face may affect movement of the eyelids, or restrict motion, especially at a joint.
Over time, the scar will change. It may become raised/thick, flat, depressed, dark, or light in color. The type of the wound will affect how noticeable the scar is.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a skin specialist.
Most scars will fade over time, although they rarely go away completely. Some types of scars do not fade at all. Some people may feel self-conscious about their scars. This can affect their quality-of-life.
There are many treatments that can improve the appearance of a scar. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you:
Over-the-counter and prescription products can be used for scars caused by surgery or injury. Some examples include:
uses a special tool to remove a layer of the scar tissue. It can make the skin appear smoother.
This treatment may be used for minor problems on the skin's surface. This may include acne scars or surgical scars.
A chemical peel uses specific chemicals to remove the top layer of skin. It can create a smoother appearance and even color.
This treatment is best for treating scars that are not deep or small acne scars.
Cryotherapy is freezes the scar tissue with liquid nitrogen. The scar tissue will then blister and fall off.
Cryotherapy may be used to treat protruding scars, like keloids.
Steroid injections into the scar may shrink scar tissue. It may be used for scars that stick out, like keloid and hypertrophic scars.
The appearance of soft, indented scars, may be reduced by injecting fillers. The filler may make them appear more even. Fillers used include:
This effect is not permanent. Filler injections often need to be repeated.
Pressure bandages may be applied around the scar. The pressure may help to flatten the scar.
Surgery can improve the appearance of some scars. It may help to change the scar's size, location, color, or depth. However, surgery may not be able to erase the scar completely.
Some surgical options include:
The scar is cut out. The area is then closed in a way that leaves a new, less noticeable scar.
skin graft
surgery is removes healthy skin from one part of the body and moves it to another area. A skin graft may be taken from the inner thigh, buttocks, near the collar bone, in front of or behind the ear, and the upper arm.
A depressed scar is punched out from the skin, much like a cookie cutter. The punched out tissue is then placed back but is lifted up to match the surrounding skin.
In a punch excision, the tissue is not placed back in. Once the scar is removed, the wound is closed with stitches. This treatment works best for deep or pitted acne scars.
There are several different types of lasers that may be used. They type of laser will depend on your scar. Lasers may help to lighten pinkish-purple scars and/or flatten red scars.
If you have a wound, follow your doctor's wound care instructions. Proper care may reduce the appearance of a scar.
To minimize scarring from acne:
To minimize contracture scarring (after injuries like burns):
If you are prone to keloid scars, pressure treatment and silicone gel sheeting may help prevent them.

SMArts Combines Art and Academics
Saturday Morning Arts (SMArts) helps Northern early and middle education majors make a direct connection with local elementary students.
On selected Saturdays throughout the fall, early and middle childhood teacher candidates provide classes for community students. The program has involved kindergarten through eighth grade students from the area schools of Ada, Bath, Bluffton and Perry. Held on the ONU campus in the Wilson Art Center, activities focus on art history, aesthetics, art production, art criticism, and connecting the arts to other disciplines.
The program was created by education professor Linda Lehman, who provides guidance and direction to the teacher candidates. Teacher candidates prepare lessons that not only teach the processes of creating and critiquing art but also how art reflects the culture and social context it is created in. Students engage in activities where they learn how art connects to the disciplines of math, science, social studies and to the language arts. They also explore aesthetic questions regarding the value of art and why some art pieces are regarded more highly than others. Teacher candidates engage in critical thinking to develop activities that challenge their young students to think creatively and apply higher level thinking skills. Lehman also points out that, "Our economy is constantly changing, and we need to be able to put learners into that economy, who can analyze information that hasn't even been created yet. Art helps children develop the creative problem solving skills that employers will be looking for."
An early childhood education major Kelli Powell, who participated in SMArts as a teacher candidate, commented, "The first time I heard about the SMArts program, I was really excited. I thought it was a great opportunity to implement what we were learning within our art class while also practicing being in front of students. The more experience we have with instructing students, the better teachers we become. I hope to someday be able to use some of the media we explored during SMArts in my own classroom."
But SMArts is not just about clinical experience for teacher candidates. SMArts also acts as a good way to expose public school students to media that they normally do not have a chance to experience. School budgets typically do not allow for photography, paper pulp painting and pulp casting. "Since we are dealing with smaller student numbers and additional teaching staff, SMArts can offer these enrichment opportunities to the local students" Lehman noted. The program builds on the art experiences the students have had in their local schools and is a valuable part of the their education. Powell affirmed, "Art is an essential part of any curriculum. It encourages student creativity, problem solving, and self-discovery. It also provides a means of communication for students who may struggle with putting their thoughts into words. SMArts allowed the students to thrive because it gave them time. They had plenty of time to experiment and produce beautiful, unique works of art. Our students also learned social skills such as acceptance and tolerance. They learned that it is all right for someone to feel differently about a work of art or to create their piece of art differently."
Parents show overwhelming support for the SMArts program through positive comments and survey results. Each year the Education Department receives inquiries as to when the program will be offered and if it can be expanded.
This first program was funded in 2006 by the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. It has been continued each year since supported by the ONU Education Department.

Interpretive Handbook
83302 :
Serotonin Transporter Genotype, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter. The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) modulates neurotransmission by facilitating removal of serotonin from the synapse of serotonergic neurons, resulting in serotonin reuptake into the presynaptic terminus. Other designations for 5-HTT are SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 [neurotransmitter transporter, serotonin], member 4), hSERT, OCD1, SERT, sodium-dependent serotonin transporter, and 5-HT transporter.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) block the action of the serotonin transporter and are used to treat depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Examples of SSRIs are fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), escitalopram oxalate (Lexapro), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), and paroxetine (Paxil, Paxil CR).
The 5-HTT gene is located at 17q11.1-q12 and is composed of 14 exons spanning 31 kb. A 44-base pair promoter insertion/deletion polymorphism called LPR, or linked polymorphic region, produces alleles described as long or short. The short allele is dominant and results in decreased concentration of the transporter protein and a poorer response to stressful events. While individuals homozygous for the long allele (l/l) may demonstrate response to SSRI therapy in 3 to 4 weeks, individuals with the short allele (l/s or s/s) may respond to SSRI therapy more slowly, taking up to 12 weeks.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients who have failed therapy with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Evaluating patients with treatment-resistant depression
Predicting response time to improvement with SSRIs
Identifying patients who might respond favorably to a class of antidepressants other than SSRI.
Identifying patients who have diminished amounts of the serotonin transporter and, hence, an altered response to SSRI therapeutics
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The normal (wildtype) allele yields a long product (l/l). The variant is short/short (s/s). Heterozygotes have a l/s genotype.
Individuals homozygous for the long allele (l/l) may respond more rapidly to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) therapy.
Individuals homozygous for the short allele (s/s) may respond more slowly to SSRI therapy and may benefit from a longer trial before considering switching to another antidepressant. Even 1 copy of the short allele (heterozygous) decreases the amount of the transporter protein present, increasing the time to response.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
The test measures only the 5-HTT (LPR) polymorphism and will not indicate the presence of any other polymorphism. A mutation occurring at the site of PCR primer annealing could lead to a heterozygote being incorrectly labeled as a homozygote.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Nearly identical to its predecessor, the Apollo 16 Particle and Fields Subsatellite was ejected from the Apollo 16 Command and Service Module (CSM) about 4 hours prior to the crew's trans-Earth injection burn, which sent them home from the Moon.
Because of problems with the Apollo CSM main engine, the crew was forced to release the subsatellite in a low lunar orbit of 100 x 100 kilometers at 10° inclination. The orbit was rapidly altered by gravitational perturbations, and the probe crashed onto the lunar surface after 34 days in orbit rather than the planned one year. Impact point was at 10.2° north latitude and 112° east longitude at 21:00 UT on 29 May 1972. However, because of its low orbit, the spacecraft did return some valuable low-altitude data.

This is a jaggery-based, low-fat sweet made from chana dal / kadalai paruppu, does not require much ghee - perfect for health conscious folks.
1 cup chana dal
1 cup jaggery
5-6 cardamoms
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
2 tbsp gingelly oil / you can use ghee if you dont have this oil
1-2 tbsp ghee for frying cashews
10-12 cashews, halved
2-3 tbsp of raisins
Chana Dal
Dry roast the chana dal till golden brown and aromatic. This will take 7-8 minutes on medium heat. Soak this roasted dal in lots of water for 3 hours or so.
Dry roast the coconut flakes till golden and aromatic. This will take around 5 minutes on low flame. Keep aside.
Remove the skin, grind the seeds along with a tsp of coarsely granulated sugar in mortar-pestle till you get a fairly fine powder. Keep aside.
Cashews and raisins
Heat 1-2 tbsp ghee and fry them till cashews are golden. Keep aside.
- Grind the soaked chana dal to a fine paste, adding as little water as possible, to get a fairly thick doughy paste.
- Place 3 cups of water in a big pressure cooker (5L+) / steamer. Make loose dumplings of the ground dal and place in a deep, big vessel that fits in the cooker.
- Close the lid of the cooker MINUS the weight- so you use it as a steamer.
- Steam the ground dal for 20-25 minutes on medium flame. Open the cooker after a few minutes and let these steamed dumplings cool.
- Now, you can either grate these cooled dumplings or crumble them with your fingers. The former gives a more uniform look to the sweet.
- In a large wok, hear 2-3 tbsp of gingelly oil (Nalla yennai) and fry the crumbled / grated dal mix on a low flame for 5-7 minutes. Keep aside.
- Instructions for the Vella-paagu (Jaggery-pak)
Add 1 cup of crushed jaggery to this and let it melt on a high flame, with constant stirring.
Once the jaggery has melted thoroughly, lower flame and keep stirring.
In 7-8 minutes the mixture will get a deep colour and start thickening.
Keep a small plate handy, and pour a drop or so of this onto it, every 2-3 minutes.
Try rolling this drop between your thumb and index finger. If it turns into a ball and makes a sound when you drop it on the plate, your jaggery-pak (vella-paagu) is ready for the okkarai.
- As soon as your paagu reaches this stage, turn off the flame. Remove the wok from the stove and start adding the ready dal crumble in batches, giving it a good mix to coat evenly. Once the crumble is all evenly mixed with the jaggery paagu - it will be soft, sweet and not sticky, but like perfectly cooked basmati rice - fluffy, dry and separate.
- To this, add the roasted coconut, cardamom powder and fried cashews and raisins and mix gently.
Your Okkarai is ready for Diwali. If you like a richer taste, you can use more ghee to fry the cashews, but 1 tbsp is more than enough.
It is a labourious recipe, but with just two main ingredients - to get such a flavoursome and healthy festival sweet, it is totally worth it.
The recipe has been given to me by my maternal grandmother, who has been making this for every Diwali as far as I can remember.
I am so glad I made it this year and it is going to part of my Diwali cooking every year, now on.
Hope you find this recipe useful to recreate your family tradition :)

Last Monday June 11 Apple introduced iPhone OS 6. The new release of its mobile operating system has many improvements (over 200 according to the company) as integration with Facebook, the new application passbook, share images with Photos Streaming Siri or the arrival of Spanish. The final version of iPhone OS 6 will be available in autumn and meanwhile Apple has released the first test version for developers, which indeed have already managed to apply the Tethered Jailbreak, although it is not fully functional and now Cydia does not work -. Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone 4s/4/3gs The most prominent of the presentation was the new mapping application that Apple has developed together with C3 Technologies and TomTom, bypassing Google Maps.Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone 4s/4/3gs Among the functions most attention is the new navigation service with voice prompts, a feature that was necessary-and Flyover, a system for displaying three-dimensional city that offers extremely realistic result. Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone 4s/4/3gs However, not all users of an Apple device can enjoy all the benefits of IOS 6 and the map application in particular. Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone 4s/4/3gs The owners of an iPhone 4, iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 4G may not have voice guidance or Flyover, a real shame. Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone 4s/4/3gs According to Apple these features do not work properly if there is a more powerful processor, ie a chip Apple A5 or higher as fitted to the iPhone 2, iPhone and new iPhone 4S.

True, not everything goes smooth it could work in, for example, the new iPhone has a much more powerful processor, but in any case it is impossible to make work properly Flyover on the iPhone 4.Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone 4s/4/3gs Another reason why Apple will not include Flyover in older models is to make consumers buy a newer terminal that can have all the functions of IOS 6.

The voice wizard was released as an exclusive iPhone 4S but hackers managed to successfully remove older models, though Apple has now officially taken the new iPad.

text: News from the Heights If you need more information, call Le Moyne's Office of Communications at 315-445-4555 or contact via email Joe Della Posta or Molly McCarthy. Read past issues of the magazine Harvard Professor to Deliver Annual Loyola Lecture at Le Moyne CollegeSYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … Francis X. Clooney, S.J., Parkman Professor of Divinity and Professor of Comparative Theology at Harvard Divinity School, will deliver the annual Loyola Lecture at Le Moyne College on Wednesday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. His talk takes place in Grewen Auditorium and is titled "Neither Here Nor There: Learning from Other Religions 50 Years after Vatican II." Father Clooney's primary areas of scholarship include theological commentarial writings in the Sanskrit and Tamil traditions of Hindu India, and the developing field of comparative theology, a discipline distinguished by attentiveness to the dynamics of theological learning deepened through the study of traditions other than one's own. He has also written on the Jesuit missionary tradition, particularly in India, and the dynamics of dialogue in the contemporary world. Professor Clooney is the author of numerous articles and books, including most recently "Beyond Compare: St. Francis de Sales and Sri Vedanta Desika on Loving Surrender to God" (Georgetown University Press, 2008), "The Truth, the Way, the Life: Christian Commentary on the Three Holy Mantras of the Srivaisnava Hindus" (Peeters Publishing, 2008), and "Comparative Theology: Deep Learning across Religious Borders" (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010). He is currently completing a book, titled "He Has Made Darkness His Hiding Place," an exercise in dramatic theology, exploring the absence of God in accord with the biblical Song of Songs and the Hindu Holy Word of Mouth (Tiruvaymoli). In July 2010, Father Clooney was elected a Fellow of the British Academy and, since 2010, he also has served as the director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School. He holds a doctorate in South Asian languages and civilizations from the University of Chicago. The lecture is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Jesuit community at Le Moyne College. For more information, call (315) 445-6110. #####posted on: 2/16/2012

Hi guys, new here
I have a miller 252 mig welder.
a buddy of mine that owns a mill write company have me a prince
alum spool gun.
the spool gun does not hook right up to my welder.
the gun came with a unit wired in line called the "torpedo"
after a inquiry to mk products, the said the torpedo was an "interface" module that allowed the gun to work on miller welder a using the 14 pin connector.
the connector is just slightly to big to fit the receptacle on my welder.
of course they wanted to sell me a stand alone module to control the gun for 500$
I will only use the gun a handful times around the garage a year.
if anyone knows how to adapt this to my welder than would be great.
i think I have the correct wire diagram for my miller welder.
if I have to buy the right connector for the welder and put it on the gun wiring harness that is fine.
I would just need to know what wires go were.

It's a 14 pin connector. Of the torpedo interface module.
i was able to get more info out of the mk products.
Theres only 3 wires on the 14 pin connector going into the miller.
