McDonnell Claims Personal Best in 1,500-Meter Run
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—While the majority of the women's track and field team traveled to Princeton University to compete in the Sam Howell Invitational this Friday, five Bulldogs put their skills to the test at the Stanford Invitational in Stanford, California. The meet offers competitive opponents from all over the country.
The day's most striking performance came from Kira Garry. Though the junior already holds the Yale record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, she broke her own record on Friday. Her time of 10:21.01 was good for eighth in her heat, packed with participants from over 10 different states.
Junior Emily Stark claimed the day's second most notable performance. With her 23rd-place finish in the 10,000-meter run, Stark calimed the 4th-best time in Yale's record books. She earns an impressive personal-best finish of 34:51.61.
In the 1,500-meter run, sophomore Shannon McDonnell took second in her heat. She earned a time of 4:32.97, a personal best. Freshman Emily Waligurski was not far behind, posting a time of 4:35.48 and winning her heat.
In the 400-meter dash, junior Emily Cable placed 13th out of 46 people. Her time of 55.71 is just milliseconds off her personal best.

If my aim is not to persuade them but just to talk about fasting then I'm not likely to actually say much worthwhile.
Better to win even neo-pagan, or buddhist or Roman Catholic friends wiilling to have another conversation or remember us warmly than to have made a point and left someone hurt or confused or feeling violated in some way.

24-Hour Hotline: (305) 774-3616
Our adolescent programs are designed to the unique developmental stages and behavioral health risks faced by youth. We provide thorough developmental assessments, individual and group psychotherapy services, acute emotional and mental health crisis intervention, family therapy, parent support, and comprehensive case management services, including referrals for primary health and social services.
Banyan's caring professional teams address wide-ranging emotional and behavioral issues facing youth, providing a safe, nurturing clinical environment that cultivates resilience and builds the capacity of children and adolescents to:
- Regulate their emotions: manage anger, sadness, worry, acting out behaviors, grief, and loss;
- Improve self-esteem, social, interpersonal, and coping skills;
- Develop control of attention problems, hyperactivity, and improve ability to cope with learning disabilities;
- Resolve drug or alcohol use;
- Recover from domestic violence and physical or sexual abuse.
Our approach is strengths-based and motivational. Its designed to help youth to achieve emotional stability by helping them and their families to recognize and build upon their strengths.
We work with parents to foster the skills they require to raise emotionally health youth, and our children and family teams work closely with the schools, primary health clinics, child welfare, foster care, court and probation systems to ensure continuity in awareness and understanding of the nature of the needs of youth in our care.
Across the United States today, the behavioral and primary health needs of children and adolescents are increasing, while access to these services is decreasing. Its estimated that at least 13 million children are in need of mental health or substance abuse services, yet efforts to restrain health costs are resulting in decreased availability of these and other health services for youth.
This decrease in access to health services is occurring despite growing evidence of the effectiveness of mental health and substance abuse services, and of integrated behavioral and primary health services. In the general health care sector, primary care clinicians are being pressured to see more patients in less time, and they therefore have less time to address psychosocial issues.
Banyan Health Systems focuses on the design of programs that effectively integrate behavioral and physical services appropriate to the developmental needs and risks of youth. Our services include preventive interventions, risk reduction, early identification of behavioral and physical health disorders, assessment and diagnosis, case management, outpatient substance abuse programs, home-based treatment, comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment.
Children and adolescents who receive early intervention and care avoid costly treatment in the future, and even modest reductions in negative outcomes of youth more than compensate for what would otherwise be increased health care costs.
In economic terms, improvements in the mental health of children and adolescents are reflected in increased parent work productivity, lower rates of absenteeism in the workplace, and reductions in use of general medical services.
More important in the long-term, preventive efforts and early treatment of behavioral problems and mental disorders in childhood result not only in changes in behavior but also in changes in the brain. The impact of early intervention on instances of violence and the number of incarcerated juveniles and young adults is substantial.

Difference between revisions of "Goa"
Revision as of 10:04, 12 September 2013
Goa, [11] a state on India's West coast, is a former Portuguese colony with a rich history. Spread over 3,700 square kilometers with a population of approximately 1.4 million, Goa is small by Indian standards. It has a unique mix of Indian and Portuguese cultures and architecture that attracts an estimated 2.5 million visitors each year (including about 400,000 foreign tourists).
Since the 1960s, Goa has been attracting a steady flow of visitors -- first the hippies and returning expat Goans, then the charter tourists (starting with the Germans in 1987), pilgrims visiting Catholic and Hindu shrines, those opting to settle in Goa as their home, people going for medical treatment, and a growing number of those who attend seminars and conferences in Goa.
Goan culture has been shaped mainly by the Hindu and Catholic population. People are mostly easy going ('sossegado' in Portuguese). With better connectivity by Air and Rail, there has been an influx of people from neighbouring states that has led to different cultures. Many Indians from other states have now come and settled here.
Goan Catholics generally acknowledge their Hindu roots, and carry traces of a caste-system within their social beliefs. It is recorded that in many instances the Hindus left one son behind to convert and thus continue to own and manage the common properties while the rest of the family preferred to emigrate to neighboring areas along with the idols representing their Hindu deities.
Over the years large numbers of Catholics have emigrated to the major commercial cities of Bombay and Pune and from there onward to East Africa (to the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique), to Portugal itself, and towards the end of the 20th century to Canada and Australia. Many old Goan ancestral properties therefore lie either abandoned or mired in legal tangles brought about by disagreements within the widely dispersed inheritors of the property. In recent years, expat Goans have been returning to their home state, often purchasing holiday homes along the coast (which are then converted into 'rent back' apartments, hired out to short-staying tourists by realtors).
Travel Season
The best time of the year to visit Goa is mid-November to mid-February when the weather is comfortable, dry and pleasant.
Goa's links with Portugal
Apart from the consulates there are cultural organisations active in Goa, with the Portuguese again being most active.
Fundação Oriente has a large presence in Fontainhas, the Latin quarter of Panjim, and sponsors cultural events that add variety to Goa's cultural scene. However, it faced some major problems when it was first set up. Goa's uneasy parting of ways with its former Portuguese rulers, and lingering ultra-nationalism amidst a section of freedom fighters could be seen as some of the reasons. The Fundação has also been subsidising a book-publishing plan which has helped put out more Goa-related titles in what is otherwise a small but colourful market for books dealing with a tiny region of South Asia.
For a state which has a lot of people passing through, Goa has nearly two weeks of holidays each year. Government offices have a five-day week (closed Saturday-Sunday). Panjim closes early (around 8PM) each evening, and shops here could have a fairly longish siesta break (from around 1.30PM till up to 3.30PM). Goan shop owners take this siesta break seriously, and no business is conducted during this time. Bars, restaurants and other shopping centers are more buyer-friendly.
Major public or special holidays are around Christmas, Republic Day, Id-ul-zuha, Gudi Padva, Good Friday, Independence Day, Ganesh Chaturthi (both days), Gandhi Jayanthi, Dussehra, Diwali, Id-ul-fitr, Feast of St Francis Xavier, Goa Liberation Day, Mahashivratri, Holi and Id-e-milad. Banks may remain open during local religious celebrations.
Expect a huge influx of tourists and locals residing in other states during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and the Carnival, which is celebrated at the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar. It is advised to make bookings for trains, buses and flights well in advance if you intend on visiting the state during these times.
By Indian standards, Goa is a very small state with only two districts -North and South Goa. These districts are together further divided into 11 talukas. These divisions, however, don't make much sense for a traveller. North and South Goa are similar, and each has its own "coastal" and "interior" areas. The major division in Goa is actually between the central coastal areas where the beaches are located and the hinterland. The coastal areas were under colonial rule for longer, reflecting more of Portugal's influence, including having a relatively larger Christian population. The interior is more Hindu, and has more protected forest areas, mining zones and villages.
Contrary to popular perception, Goa is not an island, though parts of what was considered "Goa" in the past were cut-off from the mainland by the many rivers this region is known for.
Goa also has a number of other smaller, charming and sometimes crowded towns such as those along the beach belt (Calangute, Candolim), and in the interior (Chaudi in Canacona, Sanvordem-Quepem, Bicholim, Pernem town, etc). Some of these are gateways to the nearby touristic areas. In addition, Goa has some nearly 350 villages, often scenic and each having a character of its own.
Other destinations
Wild life sanctuaries and others
Goa's state language is Konkani. Most Goans speak Konkani, English, Hindi, and Marathi. Portuguese is also known by a small segment, especially the elite and earlier privileged class or the older generation which studied in pre-1961 Portuguese-ruled Goa.
Different languages tend to be used for different purposes in Goa. Konkani is the most widely spoken. English and Marathi tend to be most widely read (most newspapers are read in these two languages too).
Catholics largely use Konkani for their prayer services, while the language for religion is largely Marathi for Hindus. The administration is largely conducted in English, which is also the language of publication of the official gazette, and the language mainly used in the courts.
It can be rather difficult currently to learn Konkani, with options for learning rather restricted. The language is written in four to five scripts, in and beyond Goa -- Devanagari (the official script), Roman or Romi (widely used in Goa), Kannada-script, Malayalam-script and Perso-Arabic, reportedly used by some Muslim communities further south along the Indian west coast. Recently, books to learn Konkani in the Roman script have also been published, making it easier for those not knowing the Devanagari script (used to write Hindi, Marathi and other languages) that is the officially-recognized script for Konkani in Goa.
Get in
Goa can be reached by its lone airport (Dabolim), by train, and by the many buses connecting the state with cities in India (primarily Mumbai, Mangalore and Bangalore). If you are travelling from Mumbai or Pune, car travel will provide you a journey through breathtaking scenery of the Konkan area.
By plane
The Dabolim airport in Vasco da Gama is Goa's only airport. Some airlines fly directly to Goa, but most international flights arrive via Mumbai. Air India has international flights to Kuwait and UAE twice a week. Air Arabia has discount flights to Sharjah. Qatar Airways has flights to Doha, along with convenient connections to Western Europe, Africa and USA.
Flights can be chartered to the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Switzerland.
Many domestic airlines have daily flights to and from Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Kozhikode (Calicut).
On arrival, take pre-paid taxis from Dabolim Airport. A yellow pre-paid taxi booth can be found 30 metres on the left when you exit the main building. There is also a pre-paid taxi stand in the international arrival area.
Many resorts pick up guests from the airport for free, so make sure you ask your resort for free pick-up.
By bus
There are several bus routes from various cities, but most traffic is from mainly Mumbai and Pune. Due to increasing demand from the south, there has been an increase in buses and trains from Mangalore, Bangalore and New Delhi. Overnight buses from Mumbai to Goa are an alternative to trains and flying. Book in advance during the crowded seasons (particularly during the Christmas-New Year rush, for Carnival, or when other Indian regions have school holidays when families travel).
Kadamba Transport Corporation is the Goa state-run transport service. Its buses have seen better days, and more efficient times. There are also other state-run buses run by the governments of Karnataka (some services are efficient, specially the Volvo buses), Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh. Many private players also offer bus connections to other cities, with varying levels of discounts and efficiency, with the two usually being inversely related.
The main centre for booking train and bus tickets, in Panjim, is around the Kadamba inter-state bus terminus. Tickets for the Konkan Railway can also be booked here, though expect long queues during the holiday season (which in India, can also coincide with the timings when children have a school break).
By train
Indian Railways [12] connects Goa with direct train services from Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Mangalore, Kochi, Kolkata, Thiruvanantapuram, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. The destination station is usually Madgaon in South Goa, one can also choose to get down at Thivim in North Goa. Travelling to Goa by train is a real pleasure as the route passes through greenery and many tunnels. Goa is also connected to Pune via the Belgaum Miraj line. A railway station most tourists tend to miss is Thivim, which is served by most trains and is located very close to the popular beaches of North Goa. Incase one had already booked ahotel, it would be a good idea to consult them on which station to get down at.
For budget travellers, this is the cheapest option, along with being faster and much more comfortable than travelling by road. It is advisable for tourists to make reservations well in advance as the major trains (Konkan Kanya, Nethravati Express, etc.) are usually heavily booked.
Trains from Mumbai and most other places have a quota of seats set aside for tourists. Quota tickets must be purchased in person at the rail station by the tourist and cannot be booked via a travel agent. Note that quota tickets are only sold at the station of origin. Tickets can be booked online[13]
Unless traveling on a shoestring budget, it is advisable to travel in air conditioned sleeper coaches. These are quieter and much more comfortable. Each bunk is provided with two freshly laundered sheets, a blanket, and a pillow. You can also have a hand towel on request.
Most travel agents will book tickets for a small fee (₹200), but be aware that trains do get busy and you need to book in advance. Do not leave booking your ticket to the last moment as you may be disappointed.
Here are some useful trains to get into Goa:
Travelling by train can be quite an experience as you are more likely to interact with fellow Indian travellers visiting Goa from different parts of the country, under more relaxed conditions.
See also Rail travel in India
By car
Distance from Goa to various cities:
By ferry
Occasional cruise services used to sail from Mumbai to Goa. This was run in past years, but is currently discontinued.
Get around
First thing to bear in mind is that when you are visiting Goa, you are visiting a whole state, not a city. So there are several towns spread out with considerable distance between them and so it is essential to prepare, or at least have an idea of, what kind of local transportation you will be using while there.
High resolution maps are not available for Goa. For example, some popular isles are not shown in many maps.
Parts of Goa lack sign boards, so finding your way around could be challenging. When in doubt just ask - usually people are friendly and helpful- but don't expect precise answers(a so-called 'five minute drive' could take a good twenty minutes).
When driving, expect surprises like domestic animals and little children darting across the road and unmarked speed breakers / speed bumps.
By motorbike
Choice of geared and un-geared motorbikes and scooters can be rented (typically without helmets). Those planning to stay long may consider buying one instead. Rentals are around ₹300 a day (₹200 in non-peak season) for a Honda Activa scooter and a little more if one is looking for a geared motorcycle (you buy the gasoline as needed). Many small roadside shops sell gas at ₹75 a liter, while the going rate at a station (these are hard to locate in the coastal areas) is around ₹65 a liter.
For the motorbikes, always ask for a discount if renting long-term (one month or more). You should not have to pay more than ₹100 per day. Ensure that you have all the ownership documents of the bike. Also, avoid taking motorbikes with yellow plates out of Goa, as it is a punishable offense. Hiring a bike with white plates is ok for local travel in the immediate vicinity but if you want to travel further afield then always rent a bike with yellow plates. Wearing a crash helmet is compulsory when you go on any major roads (there is ₹100 fine for not wearing one). Foreigners will need an International Driving Permit (Convention 1949); this is the first thing police will ask you for if stopped. You should also carry your normal driving licence with you.
By bus
Fares: ₹8-10. Buses are an inexpensive and great way to travel and see the country. ₹10-15 will often get you a 30-40km ride.
By car
There is a lot of cars for hire all over Goa. The best place to start inquiring for the service is with your hotel. In general, you are required to book a daily package of 8 hours or 80km at around ₹1,000 - ₹1,500 depending on the vehicle's model and whether it is a/c or not. Extra charges are usually around ₹100 per extra hour, or ₹10 per extra km. This is usually the most effective option to explore the region, as there is no taxi you can hail off the street.
Mahindra, Willys or Maruti Gypsy makes are similar to the long wheel base version of the Suzuki Jimny. Some of these jeeps are open roof. Expect to pay around ₹1,000 - ₹1,200 a day.
There are many car rental companies available. Car rental agencies such as Clear Car Rental [14], Avis [15] and Hertz [ http://www.hertz.co.uk/rentacar/car-hire/india/mumbai]
Art & culture
Goa has a more than its fair share of museums, art galleries and libraries. You will find many government run museums in Panaji, including the Goa State museum, the Kala Academy, the Central Library and the Goa Science Centre. In Vasco da Gama, you can find the Naval Aviation Museum, a great place to see vintage aircraft.
Old Goa is a great place to see examples of Christian religious art, and sometimes, secular art. There you can find the Christian Art Museum and also a modern art gallery containing the works of surrealist Dom Martin. In Mormugao, you can find the Religious Museum of the Blessed Joseph Vaz. The Xavier Centre of Historical Research at Bardez also has a gallery on Christian Art.
Attracted by Goa's bohemian life, many artists, painters and architects have made their home here. They too have proceeded to set up art galleries and museums. An example of this is Subodh Kerkar's art gallery in Candolim. Benaulim also has the Goa Chitra Museum, containing the largest collection of ethnographic artifacts ever assembled in one place.
Other museums of note are Gerard da Cunha's architectural museum Houses of Goa in Benaulim, Big Foot(aka Ancestral Goa) at Loutolim, Salcette, an attempt to illustrate and recreate Goa's traditional past. There's even a vintage-cars collection of sorts -- Ashvek Vintage World, in Nuvem, Salcette
Goa is famous for its beaches, ancient temples and churches, and the Goan carnival.
Churches and Cathedrals
5 Churches You Just Cannot Miss in Goa
It is no exaggeration to call Goa, a city of churches which are a proof of the rich history of the beach city. During the initial stages of the Portuguese rule in the city, building of church building was a favored activity, mainly because they wanted to spread Christianity and convert as many people as was possible. These churches are world-renowned as they have kept intact the old-world charm and thus are famous as tourist attractions. They are an indispensable part of the culture and society of Goa that have helped in the spread of education also. Here is a list of 5 churches you just cannot miss in Goa:
Bom Jesus Basilica (1605)
Built in 1605, this Basilica has the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, one of the patron Saints of Goa. It is known for its distinctive baroque architecture that has a display of architectural pieces in wood, stone, gold and granite. Francis Xavier died while aboard a ship and his body was taken to Malacca but it was decided that he should be buried in Goa. After 2 years, it was noticed that his body had not decomposed, that was no less than a miracle. After every 10 years, his body is put for public display in a silver casket designed in the 17th century.
Se Cathedral
Built in 1619, one of the largest churches in Asia, which took around 80 years to get constructed, Se Cathedral is dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. It was built to remember the victory of the Portuguese over the Muslim rulers in the city. The building has a Golden bell that can be heard in the whole of Goa. Located in old Goa, one of the bell towers of the church[16] was destroyed during a lightening storm. The structure also consists of 14 alters inside, with each being beautifully carved.
Church of St Francis of Assisi
Built in 1661, located on the back of the Se Cathedral, this church is a beautiful piece of ancient workmanship. The structure has striking painted panels showcasing the life of St. Francis of Assisi on the walls. The adjoining seminary has been converted into an art museum, which preserves the painting that was previously kept at the Panaji Secretariat. The church also has an octagonal tabernacle decorated in an ornate style.
Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception
Built in 1541, a famous landmark of Goa, it is the oldest church situated in Panaji. The towers of the church have a statue of Mother Mary at the front. Around 450 years old, this church was built to welcome sailors home. This church is largely visited even today by Catholic devouts and has been beautifully preserved. The bell of the church is 2nd largest in the world.
Church of St. Catejan
Built in 1700, Church of St. Catejan has a striking resemblance St. Peters Basilica in Rome. It was built by a group of Greek and Italian priest to initiate a contrast to the other churches built during the Portuguese times. On the left, there three altars dedicated to the Holy Family, Our Lady Of Piety and St. Clare and the right-side altars are dedicated to St. Agnes, St. Cajetan and St. John. Though the building is 300 years old, but has been beautifully preserved.
[Shree Manguesh Shantadurgai Prasanna Temple]:- The temple is dedicated to the deity of Lord Shiva. Shree Manguesh temple is located at Mangeshi in Priol, Ponda Taluka,1 kilometer from Mardol close to Nagueshi, 22 km from Panaji the capital of Goa and 26 km from Margao. Sri Mangesh temple is famous for its pristine glory, which attracts thousands of visitors every year.In Maha Shivratri Festival here you can see a very big fair.In 1560, anticipating the onslaught of the Portuguese, the devotees had moved Shree Manguesh Shantadurgai Prasanna Shivalinga from Kutthal to a safer place under a Hindu prince. Surrounded by hillocks and covered by forests, the Shivalinga was kept at a place, which now is known as Mangeshi.
The Peshwas donated in 1739, the village of Mangeshi to the temple on the suggestion of their Sardar, Shri Ramchandra Malhar Sukhtankar, who was a life-long devotee of Shree Manguesh.
Since then this little village on the Panaji-Ponda road has become a place of pilgrimage for the followers of the Lord and an attraction for the tourists from rest of the country and outside.
Known for its natural beauty and pleasant surroundings, Mangeshi is still a hamlet with about 1,000 families. But it is a center of culture and the musicians from this place have earned countrywide reputation as master singers for several generations.
Old Forts
Global items come in amazing diversity specially at the night markets of North Goa. In Panjim, the 18th June Road is faster emerging as a lure for shoppers and tourists. Mapusa, while hosting a traditional market each Friday, attracts a number of tourists, specially foreigners. Goa's talented goldsmiths are neatly located in a line at Mapusa's market, and in parts of Margao and Panjim. Check out traditional Goan lacquer-ware toys (available at the Aparant emporia).
Every major hotel has its own bookshop, of varying quality. Books tend to be priced amazingly inexpensively in India, including in Goa. For the best collection of books related to 'alternative India' and the environment, visit the almost hidden Other India Bookstore. It sits atop the old Mapusa Clinic, at Mapusa's Feira Alta locality. Entrance from the behind.
Broadways Book Centre at 18th June Road (near Caculo Traffic Island); Confidant's Golden Heart Emproium in Margao (2732450); Mandovi Square near Cine Nacional (2234241); and Varsha Book Stall (2425832) near the Bank of India and Azad Maidan. The last two focus on newspapers and magazines coming in from the rest of the country and abroad.
Reading Habit, at Campal on the way to Miramar Beach, has a wide variety of books.
One Goan unique product is that of hand-painted ceramics.
Foreign tourists increasingly go "shopping" for medical services. There are a number of outlets that offer a form of 'health tourism'. These include centers like Dr Pimenta's Dental Practice [17] at Romano Chambers (near the Old Petrol Pump in Calangute) and Lake Plaza near Nehru Stadium in Margao.
Want to shop Goan? One good value-for-money place is the Aparant network of outlets managed by the State-run Goa Handicrafts network. In their ten outlets across Goa you could expect to find an interesting range of handicrafts from Goa. And reasonably priced too. Items range from shell-work to clay, bamboo, paper mache, coconut-items and fiber. "If visitors have a problem with carrying back some the (more fragile) handicrafts home, then fibre is a good option. These outlets are, besides four in Panjim, located at Vasco da Gama (on Swatantra Path, at the Vasco Residency) and at the local GTDC-run "residency" hotels in Margao, Mapusa, Calangute, the Bicholim Pottery Production Centre at the Industrial Estate, and at Loutolim's Big Foot.
In Panjim, the other outlets of Aparant are located at the Udyog Bhavan (opposite the Goa Police Headquarter, near the Ferry Jetty); at the main Kadamba bus-terminus; and at the Crafts Complex office of the Goa Handicrafts in Neugi Nagar (Rua de Ourem). The largest number of items are available at the last location, about 2.5 kms off the center of town.
Most of the Aparant outlets are open between 9:30 or 10AM to 6 or 7PM, depending on their location.
Products of dry coconuts and coconut-shells are carved and often designed to fit on a wooden base. Items produced here include table lamps, flower pots, table clocks, different religious statues and decorative items.
Cotton thread is transformed in an artistic way with the crochet steel hook, rendering it in beautiful designs and shapes. Likewise, sea-shells that were once discarded by the beach get transformed by artisans. Traditional clay art -- in the form of pots, ash-trays, flower pots, images of gods -- is a skill that has been built up across generations in Goa. Ditto for the case of bamboo products.
A few of these items are produced in-house at the Goa Handicrafts' center in Bicholim. Others come from artisans across the state. This network has done a fair job in highlighting the skills of geographically-scattered local artisans, and also finding them the market they so-badly need to sustain their rich talent.
The Goan staple diet consists of rice and fish curry along with pickles and fried fish. This can be found on many of the beach shacks. The Goan cuisine is a blend of Portuguese and local flavours. Many dishes such as prawn balchao and Kingfish in Garlic have distinct Portuguese flavour. The cuisine is mostly seafood based, the staple foods are rice and fish. Kingfish (Vison or Visvan) is the most common delicacy, others include pomfret, shark, tuna and mackerel. Among the shellfish are crabs, prawns, tiger prawns, lobster, squid and mussels.
Dishes such as Sorpotel, Vindaloo and Xacuti (pronounced Cha'cuti), Cafreal will be familiar from Indian restaurant menus, and are originally Goan dishes.
Most beaches have shacks that serve surprisingly delicious meals, specially sea-food and they'll usually consult you to see how you like your food. Don't miss the shack eating experience. You'll want to go back and do it again. Most fancy hotels and restaurants serve terrible food, it is best to eat at local places, ask a taxi driver where these would be and don't let him take you to any fancy restaurants as they receive commission.
Some really good restaurants not to be missed are 1. Souza Lobo Bar & Restaurant,Off Calangute, North Goa 2. O Coqueiro ,Porvorim, Goa 3. Florentine's
There are two local brews long made and drunk in Goa -- cashew feni and coconut feni. One comes from the cashew apple, and the other from the sap of the coconut tree. Goa's feni-making has been much focussed on.
Feni-brewing skills have been honed by Goa's former Portuguese rulers. Strange but true: the cashew was brought in by the Portuguese themselves, and today it seems like a closely integrated part of Goa. Cashew-apples go to waste in neighbouring states, and in the fruiting season, one could get a strong smell of semi-fermenting apples being transported specially from Maharashtra into Goa, at locales close to the border.
Feni has come to become synonymous with Goa. "Indigenous alcoholic drinks include coconut palm toddy from south and eastern India and the Goan liquor 'feni' based on coconut palm juice or cashew nut," explains the website of the Indian Embassy in Russia.
Needless to say, feni has its own strong taste. Some like it, some don't. At one of the liquor outlets in Panjim, you can run into bus-loads of tourists picking up their 'souvenir' of feni.
Of course, there are a range of other options too. Local wines are priced at between Rs 40 to Rs 150 per bottle (of 750 ml).
In recent years, Goa has been hosting what it calls the "Grape Escape", a festival of wines, around the start of each year (held in mid-February 2007 and May 2006, for instance).
In Panjim, new ventures are also bringing in new products. A Nau ("The Ship" in Portuguese, unfortunately since closed down, as of October 2008) brings in a range of wines and other commodities from Portugal.
Global Spirits and Foods, which operates out of the Pilerne Industrial Estate some 10 kms from Panjim, wholesales a wide range of products from across the globe -- champagne and cognac from France; wines from Argentina and Chile, Australia and New Zealand; vodka from Poland; single malt from Scotland; and even the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage of Brazil Cachaca. (Cachaça is the product of the distillation of fermented sugarcane juice, with its alcohol strength between 38% and 51% by volume. It is often said to differ from rum in that it is made from sugarcane juice while rum is made from molasses.)
In terms of local products, Madame Rosa has also been diversifying into coffee and other liqueur. Flavours include mango, anise, almond and chocolate mint. PVV (Pedro Vincent Vaz), another prominent brand, comes out with its cashew and palm products (in sizes of 750 ml, 180 ml and 60 ml). Other brands have names like Dom Pedro, Goan Treasure, Cashew Inside, Fruit Shape, among others.
Goa is one of the reasonable places to stay in as compared to rest of India. During the peak season, which lasts from November to late March, the prices are very high. Especially in December, 5-star hotel rates rates range from around ₹20,000 - ₹35,000 per night. All tourist spots charge more in the peak season.
Huts/Shacks are an economical and fun option to consider. These can be found in small/little Vagator which is up the road from Anjuna beach , prices range from 400-600 rupees and you get a whole hut with a double bed, lock , towels and an attached bathroom with toilet. These shacks are closed during the monsoon.
The last week of the year, between Christmas and New Year the place is usually completely packed. Try to avoid that overhyped week and you will get a better deal without the added pressures.
Goa has a large network of banks, some of which will change currency. In the tourist pockets and urban areas, one comes across such services easily. Reserve Bank of India's Foreign Exchange Department is at 3A/B Sesa Ghor, Patto in Panjim (Ph 2438656, 2438659, fax 2438657) though one need not go specifically here.
Leading hotels, shops and travel agents will also offer foreign currency exchanges.
At the time of writing, Goa's telephone directory hasn't been published for at least four years. In a state with among the highest teledensities (phones per hundred users) across India, this is a serious handicap. Old telephone directories have segregated phone subscribers on the basis of the many small phone exchanges in the State. (Previously, it needed a trunk-call to call from one exchange to the other, but at least this is not the case now.) So it can be very confusing to locate a particular phone number. However if you do have a phone number for the BSNL Co., then getting the address is easy by dialing 197.
Add to this the reality that the telephone network in Goa is frequently growing, and that telephone numbers have grown from four-digits to the current seven in not too many years, finding the right number you need can be tough.
Goa's main telecom ISP BSNL has this online telephone directory [18] which is partially useful.
The Government of Goa's Department of Information and Publicity (located at Udyog Bhavan, near Azad Maidan and the Goa Police Headquarters in the heart of Panjim) comes out fairly regularly with an under-priced -- but not easily available -- pocketbook of phone numbers. This focuses largely on politicians, government officials and media persons. Some useful fax numbers, email addresses and websites mentioned here. But don't expect officials to reply to your e-mail!
Yellow pages are also available. To inquire about local businesses contact Hello 2412121 (0832-2412121), The Talking Yellowpages Of Goa and Online Enquiry Hello Yellowpages Goa [19]. Both these services from Hello Group Goa [20] offer information on a range of businesses in Goa.
Mobile services have grown fast in Goa.
It is fairly easy to get a Prepaid mobile SIM card. It will cost around 100Rs, just take a copy of your passport (visa page, entry stamp and photo page) and two passport photos to a phone shop and away you go. It is worth thinking about cost and coverage if you are travelling around India as once you leave Goa and travel to anoher state you then pay roaming charges for all calls. It is still cheap though. A single text to the UK from Goa costs ₹10 and calls cost about ₹12 a minute.
Internet cafes can be found in Goa's urban areas, tourist spots and hotels. It is not difficult to find an internet centre in a state known for its large expat and tourist population. ID has to be presented and foreigners will need to present their passport before being allowed to use the internet.
Consulates and High Commissions
Stay safe
Goa is an ideal holiday destination for travelers, but tourists should bear in mind that India has its own set of safety issues.
Goa now has a number - 108 for medical emergencies. This service is run by the GVK EMRI (Emergency Management and Research Institute) and is based out of Goa Medical College (Bambolim) and has ambulances posted at various parts of Goa. These ambulances are fully equipped and have trained paramedics.
Fire service The number to Fire Service is 191.

War! *hungh* Good god, y'all!
Sabia brings La Junta up a notch in the ELO tiers with a powerful 2* DR card.
Throw in the already solid cards of Toliver, Bryan and Arnie, and this deck is showing lots of promise.
(Please don't say this deck loses to SoA. That's obvious, lots of decks lose to SoA.)
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Saturday 26/01/2013, 03:05
Theres a WAY to stop losing to SoAs..... something called victoria or nahemi. ok not a big fan of bryan, so bryan --> brianna. how is thormund not in friggin mono. tolliver to thormund. jane ramba cr does not do much (i like trish) so jane ramba cr to nahemi
KitsuneKatsumi Imperator XiongDang Saturday 26/01/2013, 05:56
Sabia is definitely a staple character, for mono strictly better than Jungo's Pegh, and can seal the deal for them against SOB clans. I really like Junta and their vast legions of 7 power 4 damage 3*s, for me that puts them way above FPC. The question when building La Junta is do you stick with mostly even damage (4+6) or mostly odd (5+3) to improve your chance of 2HKO or do you use a mix. Although odd damage has the SOA (Bryan and Wyre), pill manipulation (Brianna, Naginata) and some great fighters (Trish, Tolliver, Gatline, Thrumond), even has more consistent base stats with Ray, Isatis, Nahomi, Milena, Jane Ramba, Wardog, Victoria, Dean). Even should give you more consistent 2HKO chances than odd. I think the staples in Junta are Sabia, Milena, Nahomi and Isatis.
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Saturday 26/01/2013, 10:31
Odd damage cards are the REASON to play la junta since you raised up that point. staples are: naginata, isatis, bryan/wyre, thormund, sabia. cards you would DEFINITELY like to have are trish, tolliver, nahomi/ victoria, brianna. majority of those are odd. milena is definitely not staple, nor is nahomi if victoria is around. 3 stars for a stop: card is too much. i personally like wyre more, naginata, isatis, wyre, thormund, sabia so that leaves out 25- (5+4+3+2+2) = 9. then use brianna victoria trish (victoria for tolliver if SoA not that common) and look this is ELO mode we are talking about, 2hkos are not common.
Hihihilalala Hero Saturday 26/01/2013, 13:34
2HKO is not really for 3*s (except maybe Trish), so I'll say that as long as your 4* and 5* are either odd or even, it should be alright.
GWNGeneralZod Imperator Great White North Friday 01/02/2013, 17:54
Updated deck: deleted
Naginata and Brianna pair nicely, and Isatis and Thormund are too good to pass up.
The rest are personal choices. Dean was put in after I cut Trish. Might change him back to Toliver.
Fanta Pants Guru TRiNiTY Monday 04/02/2013, 01:08
I like ray as my 5* personal preference though
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Monday 04/02/2013, 09:24
There is like no synergy with jane ramba cr with the rest of clan..... milena is better in pretty much every way. i like wyre, and why not trish..... jane ramba to trish
of all the rest of the 2 stars you chose dean. definitely go with victoria
AGPrinz Titan The BeSharps Monday 04/02/2013, 09:31
ill just leave this here.
GWNGeneralZod Imperator Great White North Monday 04/02/2013, 16:57
There is great synergy with Jane Ramba Cr.
Isatis + Jane Ramba Cr & Brianna + Naginata are combos that make 14 damage.
Her and Sabia together can make a great wall and force your opponent to underpill when attacking, to avoid spending too much for too little damage. Also, on the offense, she's a solid 6 damage. Fits perfect with Isatis.
Trish went out due to her lack of Power, especially when facing SoA and +ATK clans. Dean came in as a test to replace her, and to free up a level to bring in Naginata. It was either him or Tolliver, and I liked that Dean worked on attack and defense.

Back from Fort Bragg
We're back from 5 days in Fort Bragg with family. I took along 7 breads and, because of menu compatibility and dining out, I only baked once while there. I made a couple loaves of Sourdough Italian Bread which went well with baked coho salmon and grilled veggies.
We did breakfast one day at the Fort Bragg Bakery. They make very good bread and pastries, as well as pizza. They do the pizza's in a gas fired oven built with bricks salvaged from the bakery that was on the same site a couple generations ago and eventually torn down.
On the drive home, Susan and I stopped for lunch at the Costeaux Bakery in Healdsburg. Along with our bill, the waiter left us a 2 lb sourdough epi to take with us. It was outstanding with a comfort food coming home dinner of scrambled eggs and tomatoes from our garden.
On a non-bread note I just have to share, I found myself taking all but a couple photos with my new iPhone 4. It's pretty amazing, especially the macro capability.

Lipid Profile Labs in Madison, Wisconsin
Your Satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed
your doctor.
tests used by doctors and hospitals.
your results.
Do you know your cholesterol numbers? If not, you should get in touch with a medical testing lab to get a lipid profile test near Madison, WI. Knowing your personal cholesterol/triglyceride numbers is very important to your health, since unhealthy levels of these lipids (fatty substances) in the blood puts you at risk for a number of very serious health problems.
An unhealthy lipid profile significantly increases your risk of cardiovascular diseases, including arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure, heart attack, heart disease and stroke. So what, exactly, is an unhealthy lipid profile? High numbers are a concern when it comes to total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, indicating increased cardiovascular disease risk. Low HDL cholesterol numbers also increase risk, since high levels of HDL, known as Ãgood cholesterol,Ã are protective against heart disease. For these reasons, you should be having a lipid profile test near Madison, WI at least once every 5 years to safeguard your health.
Getting a lipid profile test near Madison, WI will provide you with the information you and your healthcare provider need to assess cardiovascular risk, measuring your levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Your test results will tell you whether your numbers are good or bad, as compared to a reference range. If they are good, your doctor can advise you on ways of keeping them that way. If they are less than optimal, your doctor can help you improve them via lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and exercise, and, if necessary, cholesterol lowering medications.

Student shot on Widener University campus in Pa.
A gunman shot a college student sitting in the parking lot of Widener University's athletic center Monday, but officials said the campus was secure, even as they warned students to remain inside as police searched across the city for the shooter
Chester police said the student was shot once in the side by an unknown gunman around 8:45 p.m. Monday and he called 911 himself. The victim wasn't identified and his condition wasn't immediately known, but a nursing supervisor at Crozer Chester Medical Center said Monday night that he was in surgery.
Widener said in a statement on its website that Chester police had secured the campus and did not believe there was an "active shooter" on the campus, but asked students to remain inside until 6 a.m.
Chester police were reviewing surveillance footage and were using K-9 units to track the suspect, who they believe fled into a residential neighborhood adjacent to the athletic complex, on the edge of the campus.
Police told reporters that they found one shell casing on the scene and believe the shooter used a revolver.
Widener University is a private, co-ed university located in Chester, Delaware County, 14 miles south of Philadelphia. The university also has three other campuses in Harrisburg, Exton and Wilmington, Del.

It is with great pleasure that I present to you a new wave forecasting tool of the Atlantic Ocean. We use WaveWatch III model forced with meteorological data from GFS model (Global Forecast System) of surface winds, ice concentration and temperature anomaly. They are simulated four runs daily rounds every 6 hours, with automatic update of meteorological data, with forecast up to 8 days.
The objective of this project is focused to the Brazilian coast and adjacent countries, with points distributed along the coast in these countries. You can view maps of Hs, Tp, TM02, Peak Direction, Average direction and winds magnitude and direction to the Atlantic Ocean beyond the time series along the entire coast of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname in approximate depth of 200 meters.
We are developing a new tool to soon make available spectral and parametric data for each of the points distributed along the coast, via OPeNDAP server.

An Unlikely Place to hit the Beach
Russias Czar Alexander I visited
Alexanderplatz in Berlin in the early 19th
century and decided to call the former
Oxen Market after himself, he
could have never imagined that almost 200
years later, this busy inner city square
would be transformed into a beach - nor
that some upstart Australians would become
its rulers!
Thats what
happened in 2001 when World Tour Aussie
veterans Julien
Prosser and Lee Zahner, claimed their
first Tour victory at the German Open when
they surprised and delighted the
packed stadium by knocking out top-seeded
Brazilians Emanuel and Tande 3-1 in the
semifinal. Then, to snatch the US $
180,000 purse, the Aussies then smote a
stinging 2-1 blow to Swiss brothers Paul
and Martin Laciga in a nerve-racking (and often fiery) three-setter that ended
when Martin lost his alpine coolness,
wrenched down the net and incurred a red
card penalty. The Swiss team of Kober/Heuscher
then put up a good showing against the
Brazilian heavyweights, but Emanuel and
Tande went on to win in two straight sets.
But on of the real
stars of the German Open last year was the
city of Berlin, with more than 32,000
spectators crowding into the 8,000
capacity-stadium during the days of the
competition. This year, organizers will be
hoping for a repeat of the perfect
cloudless skies for the event (12-16 June)
when once more "Alex" as the
locals affectionately call the downtown
square, will be transformed into a
fantastic beach. This is the eighth time
that Berlin has hosted an FIVB tournament,
proving that it and the exciting side
events that come with it can transform
Berlin into a Beach Volleyball Mecca.

Man Crazy: A Novel
Dutton, 1997 - Fiction - 282 pages
"At five, Ingrid Boone loved her father with all the innocence and blind trust of childhood, believing him when he told her they would fly away in his favorite plane someday. But Ingrid's young life is shattered when this affectionate, violent man who learned to kill in Vietnam abandons her and her beautiful young mother in the wake of a violent crime. That is the day an essential truth vanishes from Ingrid's life." "Fleeing to a small mountain community, Ingrid grows up in isolation and learns not to ask questions when her mother takes up with a string of faceless men. Her only solace is the blissful daydream in which she and her father soar through the skies in his plane - an image that will continue to tantalize and torment her. Desperate to recapture this lost love, hungry for any kind of mercy at a man's hand, Ingrid allows boys and men to abuse her, searching for affection in the alcohol, drugs, and sex they offer." "But it is with Enoch Skaggs, the charismatic leader of a murderous satanic cult, that Ingrid reaches the depths of degradation - and witnesses something she shouldn't have seen. Yet it is in her blackest moment of despair - when she is marked for death - that Ingrid finds unexpected salvation ... and the will to reclaim her life and her heart again."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 9, 2005) - The East Tennessee State men's tennis team flew past the Georgia Southern Eagles in a 6-1 decision on Saturday afternoon at the ETSU Tennis Courts. The Bucs pick up their 14th straight win and are now 16-3 overall and 9-0 in SoCon play, while the Eagles drop to 3-15, 2-5.
ETSU started the match by capturing the doubles point. The team of Mois�s Serrano (Cartagena, Colombia) and Sebastian Serrano (Cartagena, Colombia) quickly defeated GSU's Charles-Henri Trottet and Tom Green 8-0 at the No. 3 slot. Oscar Posada (Valencia, Venezuela) and Fernando Fiuri (Villa Maria, Argentina) then brought in a win at No. 1 over Vincent Patry and Danie Van Den Heever at No. 1, 8-6. Felix Insaurralde (Asunci�n, Paraguay) and Lisandro Picardo (Mar del Plata, Argentina) then rounded off doubles action with a 9-8 (7-2) battle at the No. 2 slot over Lasha Janashia and Germano Knorr for the ETSU sweep.
In singles action, ETSU picked up five wins in straight sets after the Eagles' Patry picked up the lone point for GSU at No. 2. Wins for the Bucs came from S. Serrano at No. 6 (6-2, 6-0), M. Serrano at No. 4 (6-3, 6-1), Fiuri at No. 3 (7-6, 6-1), Posada at No. 1 (6-4, 6-3), and Picardo at No. 5 (6-1, 7-5).
"The guys played well today, but they were not as sharp as they usually are," stated Head Coach Yaser Zaatini. "I was a little uncomfortable during today's match. Hopefully, in our next match, which is the team's Senior Day, the guys can obtain the same results but come with better motivation and play better."
The Bucs now look to host their last regular season match Friday, April 15 against Wofford at 2:00 p.m. before heading to Charleston, S.C. for the SoCon Tournament.

text: A reader tipped us off to post on Fox Sports regarding media coverage of Danica Patrick. Ian O'Connor writes: "Danica Patrick will not change the world by winning the Indy 500. She will change it by becoming an agent of reform, by using her victory to convince men to start measuring a woman by her skill instead of her bra size." He posits that Patrick is part of the problem, since she agrees to do ads like the GoDaddy.com commercial in which she unzips her racing suit as wind blows in her hair. O'Connor continues: "She courts the kind of attention that inspires tabloid headlines the likes of, 'She'll Start Your Engine' and 'Va-Va-Vroom.' It's not necessary. It really isn't. Patrick can't do anything about her good looks, other than enjoy them. But that doesn't mean she has to devalue her breathless talent as a race car driver by playing along every time a publicity rep asks her to slip into something far more comfortable than her helmet and suit."

Another Trip Down Memory Lane... History and Old Stuff... And What I Think About It...
The following hair care tips are quoted from Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis's Cook Book, by Sidney Morse, which was published in 1913 by Success Company's Branch Offices.
Care of the Hair
The proper care of the hair under normal conditions is very simple. The objects to be kept in mind are to preserve its natural luster and texture by means of absolute cleanliness, and to massage the scalp sufficiently to remove any scurf or dandruff that may adhere to it, and thereby promote the active circulation of the blood. All this must be done without injury to the scalp or the hair by pulling, scratching, or tearing...
Professional hairdressers do not advocate shampooing the hair oftener than once a month. A thorough brushing once or twice a week is regarded by them as sufficient for cleanliness and as much more beneficial for the hair and scalp...
The general opinion is that it is feasible to brush the hair free from dust each night before retiring. Applications of tonics and restoratives should also be made at this time as they have the best opportunity of doing their work during sleep and especially while the blood is circulating freely as the result of brushing.
The care of the hair must be governed by common sense and general rules must be adapted to individual conditions. Some persons find it necessary to wash the hair as often as twice a month and with others once a month is sufficient. When the hair is oily it should not be brushed as freely or frequently as otherwise. When it is dry and harsh, the application of lanolin or other pomades may be necessary.
An analogy may be found in the grooming of horses. Every good groom knows by experience that plenty of combing and brushing not only produces a fine coat but promotes the health and vitality of the animal. Hence brushes with moderately stiff bristles should be chosen.
For men the so-called military or broad double brushes, one for each hand, are to be preferred.
To Dry-clean the Hair
To thoroughly cleanse the hair it should be brushed successively from partings made in all directions upon the scalp, the utmost care being taken that foreign matter accumulated on the brush is removed and not returned by the next stroke to the hair.
Professional hairdressers when giving the hair a dry cleaning run a comb through the brush each time the latter is drawn through the hair, and afterwards wipe the comb clean on a towel. The object of this process is to remove dirt and dandruff and bring about the additional softness resulting from perfect cleanliness. If this is not done, the natural oil of the hair mixing with foreign substances merely makes the hair sticky.
Sidney Morse, Household Discoveries and Mrs Curtis's Cookbook. (Petersburg, NY: Success Company's Branch Offices, 1913), pp. 584-585.
Later in the same chapter, the authors mention that dandruff is a widespread problem and give half a dozen home remedies. Some of the ingredients in the various treatments include sulfur, carbolic acid, quicklime, and borax.
Somehow it doesn't surprise me that dandruff was a problem!

While some of his other cast mates are making headlines in New York, T.R. Knight was keeping a low profile in Hollywood until we spotted him with a new, very bright, hair color. The Grey's Anatomy star took his natural brown locks to pink! The show is over for the season after last night's finale, so no chance of seeing a pink haired Dr. George on set. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time T.R. went outside of the box with his hair color– around the same time Grey's filming wrapped last year, the actor went blue! Maybe it's a summer look. Tell us: Do you like the pink or do you prefer T.R. as a natural brown?

Melbourne: Sachin Tendulkar`s much awaited ton-of-tons has not only left his fans world over in anticipation, but it has also made Cricket Australia to wait arduously, as it intended to present the Indian batsman with a memento on reaching the historic feat.
CA planned to present the batting legend a nice little memento after he scored his 100th international hundred during the just concluded tour Down Under, the `Australian` reported.
Cushioned in a metal box, the trophy, featuring a golden Kookaburra ball on a plinth, criss-crossed Australia and followed Tendulkar at every venue only to fail to find the intended recipient.
"Cricket Australia said the Sachin Trophy was en route from Brisbane, where India played their last tri-series league match, to Melbourne (the venue of first tri-series finals), perchance India made the finals," the newspaper said under the headline `Sachin gives us a Godot moment`.
Tendulkar, however, received a special presentation from the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) at the Adelaide and was also presented with a sculpted bust of Don Bradman in Sydney.
Interestingly, the plaque on the bust presented to Tendulkar read "in whom Sir Donald Bradman saw something of himself", the newspaper said.
While Tendulkar raised hopes of getting to the elusive feat during the Test series against Australia, with a fluent 73 in the series opener at Melbourne and another 80-run knock during the second Test at Sydney, he looked a distant shadow of his self in the ODI tri-series that followed.
Tendulkar scored 143 runs in seven outings in the tri-series at an average 20.42 with his highest being the 48 against Sri Lanka at Perth.


text: More than 50 area residents attended a public forum to discuss the proposed renovation plan for the Washington High School. Superintendent Mike Jorgensen opened the event by stating that the forum was the first of many steps, and the school district "wants this to be a project the community will support." An exact amount to turn the district's high school into a renovated middle school has not been calculated, but current estimates place the amount near $11.5 million. Project architect Randy Cram said while higher than the original ICAD projection, the proposed plan includes many additional items that were not calculated at that time. Wednesday's forum was broadcast live on KCII, and a complete podcast is available online at kciiradio.com under "Radio Plus."

While Ext4 was originally merged in 2.6.19, it was marked as a development filesystem. It has been a long time coming but as planned, Ext4dev has been renamed to Ext4 in 2.6.28 to indicate its level of maturity and paving the way for production level deployments. Ext4 filesystem developer Ted Tso also endorsed Btrfs as a multi-vendor, next generation filesystem and along with the interest from Andrew Morton, Btrfs is planned to be merged before 2.6.29 is released. It will follow a similar development process to Ext4 and be initially marked as development only.

RE[2]: Defragmentation
by adkilla on Sat 18th Oct 2008 17:01 UTC in reply to "RE: Defragmentation"
Doesn't ext3 already have an online defragmenter? I recall that the major drawback of it that it needs a significant amount of freespace to be effective.
From wikipedia:
"Ext4 will eventually also have an online defragmenter. Even with the various techniques used to avoid it, a long lived file system does tend to become fragmented over time. Ext4 will have a tool which can defragment individual files or entire file systems."

Syfy's new space Western "Defiance" premieres April 15, but you can see almost 15 minutes of the post apocalyptic series right here!
The show is set in a near-future Earth that has been destroyed by warring alien races, but then rebuilt and shared by those races and humans. The show stars Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Jaime Murray, Graham Greene, Tony Curran and Stephanie Leonidas as residents of the border town called Defiance, which has risen from the remnants of St. Louis.
The series is part of a two-fer entertainment package that also includes Trion Worlds upcoming online third-person shooter, Defiance,
From Syfy:
In the year 2046, it's a new Earth--with new rules. Over thirty years after various alien races arrived on Earth, the landscape is completely altered, terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance, on what used to be St. Louis, comes the mysterious Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his charge, Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into town--overseen by the mayor, Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz) and filled with residents like the powerful Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene), enterprising lounge owner Kenya (Mia Kirshner) and the ambitious, alien Tarrs (Tony Curran and Jaime Murray)--events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace this border town has fought for.

Giraffe-necktie meme goes viral
Giraffe-necktie meme goes viral
The giraffe-necktie debate is back.
The question is: If a giraffe wore a necktie, would it be placed at the top or bottom of its neck?
When giraffes go to work do you think they put the tie at the top or bottom of their necks?
Asking for a friend. pic.twitter.com/e3cFarF75P

People have taken sides. Families have been divided.
@jeremythunder Ask any giraffe and they will tell you that the one on the left is wearing a scarf and the right a necktie!
— Derek Sullivan (@dereksullivan_) November 30, 2016
@DallasZoo @foxandfriends neither. A giraffe would never wear a tie. Turtle necks are their style of course.
— zecchino (@zecchino) December 2, 2016
Where should a giraffe wear a tie? Top of the neck near the head, or bottom of the neck near the torso? From what I've heard, it's a tie
