2LT Michael R. Parros Bracelet (USMA '16)
2LT Michael R. Parros Bracelet (USMA '16)
2nd Lt. Michael R. Parros, 21, of Walnut Creek, Calif., was in his first day of U.S. Army Ranger School on July 25, when he fell ill and was transported for medical treatment.
"This is a tragic loss," said Lt. Col. Matthew Weber, Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment. "While 2nd Lt. Parros was only with us for a short time, he showed so much potential and was the epitome of the kind of Soldier you want to serve with. We are truly saddened to lose a member of our Army family." Parros, who reported to Fort Benning for training on June 27, graduated from the U.S. Army Military Academy in May, as an Infantry Officer. He was assigned to the 199th Infantry Brigade and planned to attend the Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course after completing Ranger School.Parros was an accomplished athlete, having played football, hockey and soccer while at West Point. He also was a member of the Cultural Affairs Club. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Parros family and friends during this exceptionally challenging time," Weber said.
Proceeds from the 2LT Michael R. Parros bracelet will be donated to the 2LT Michael Parros Memorial Fund.

Too Cool
So I bet you are wondering, "Wow, Corinne's got a post everyday for almost two weeks...her mojo went back with a BANG!"
Well, the mojo's been here alright but the truth is, I've been sick and had been off from work. I've been able to color and make cards in the comfort of my couch so I was making use of the time in between napping and and coughing out my lungs.
I think it may have been the flu, although I did get the flu shot. Preggie people's immune systems are just more susceptible. And the tater tot had been sick as well :(.
Now that I'm feeling better and will probably be back at work, I'm 'fraid I won't be able to make cards and post daily. My goal would be three times a week ... even if it's not about crafting.
Today's card is super simple. I think it took me all of five minutes to make it, not counting coloring Christian.
The PP are from October Afternoon, and I added some 'pearl ink' from a pearl pen. I'm so glad I got to make another 'boy' card.
Talk to ya later!

BEIJING, Oct 25 (Reuters) - China's banking and insurance regulator published a notice on Thursday allowing insurance asset management firms to launch dedicated products that provide liquidity support to listed firms, in a bid to reduce risks related to pledged shares.
The regulator said by launching such products, which can buy both stocks and bonds, insurers can provide long-term capital to quality listed companies and their shareholders, and support the development of private-run companies.
The regulator said it will continue to support insurers to increase financial and strategic investment in listed firms. (Reporting by Beijing Newsroom; Editing by Sam Holmes)

staying in my lane || week 14
"Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work."
— Adrienne Rich
the week is full of awakenings
both for myself and the world around me
every day something new is in bloom
every day something new has popped up out the ground
every day i grasp that life is so worth the hard work it requirers
"You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control."
— Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
i test boundaries, trying them on to see how they feel
a bit odd at first, but i ease into them, and feel good about the outcome
i exercise kindness and trust (to myself and others)
and try pausing before i speak
practicing leaving the storybook version
out of my head. . .
"Compassionate people ask for what they need. They say no when they need to, and when they say yes, they mean it. They're compassionate because their boundaries keep them out of resentment."
― Brené Brown, Rising Strong
three things ::
espresso with almond milk, over ice is so good
we ate the first rhubarb from the garden
today i planted sugar snap peas
i am still taking shots of Basil each week
but somehow the self portrait thing i was doing, the 52 of me
has become a chore and not a necessity, so i am letting it go
for now. . .
"Stay in your own lane. Comparison kills creativity and joy."
― Brené Brown, Rising Strong
how was your week?

Ta Pinu Shrine, Bacchus Marsh
a place of Wind and Meditation.
A multicultural pilgrimage place.
- Catherine Schieve / Christmas day, 2017
We've been driving the Western freeway from Melbourne to the Victorian highlands on almost a daily basis for some years. After sunset, snaking up the busy multi-lane road full of roaring trucks and evening commuters, we would frequently see an illuminated cross on a small grassy mound near the town of Bacchus Marsh. Sometimes the cross would be lit, and sometimes (to our disappointment) it would be quiet; dark for the night. We imagined that it would be a fairly large cross, given the scale of the volcanic hill that it appears on. We also wondered who installed it out there in the thinly settled grasslands. One day my husband Warren decided to go on a detour and find the cross; he reported back "hey, it's a Maltese shrine, we must visit!" So, on Christmas day (almost 6 months ago as of this writing) we took an exit from the freeway on our way home and went to see the Our Lady Ta' Pinu Shrine. What was initially a "go look-see" turned out, for me, to be an unexpectedly profound experience.
It had to do with the wind. The shrine is an array of modest buildings - or sheds, even - gathered on top of a barren hill, that is (in the summer) brown with dried grass, with an exposed slope that catches strong, whistling winds moving through the sweep of the landscape from lowland to highland. There is a larger sanctuary building that was closed on this visit, so we hiked up to the smaller Chapel of Mercy shrine that sits right on top of the hill. When I stepped inside I joined what appeared to be a multigenerational family group, people who looked to be of South Asian descent, all in deep prayer and meditation. It's a small space, just a simple rectangular building containing a few rows of chairs, facing from the glass-door entryway toward the back which essentially frames a centrally placed large blue orb that glows with reflected light. Over the orb is inscribed in large gold letters: JESUS KING OF THE UNIVERSE. The orb —or more accurately, a disc, suggesting almost a torus shape— is striking and appears to be suspended in space. It has the appearance of an eye, complete with an "iris" around the open "pupil," or central point. I was so taken with the sculptural orb and its blue glow, that I later googled "Malta, blue orb, Holy Spirit" - following my imagination, trying to find out it's significance. There is a complex symmetrical cross embossed in gold with equal-length arms. On the walls are paintings and bas-relief plaster sculptures; Mary crowned by angels; the birth of Jesus; biblical scenes in white and gold; loving, tender pastoral shepherd imagery roughly sculptured - all created in a contemporary, Europeanised, slightly sentimental design aesthetic. The faces protrude from the bas-relief to converse with you. It's all very clean and welcoming. And silent.
Except there is no silence; the space is filled with the presence of the wind. Soon the family (who had set a deep tone of prayer) stood up and moved on; I was left with the reflected light from the outdoors, the orb, the sculptures, and the wind. I shot a couple of minutes of video, to capture this meditative moment. The movement of the trees and grasses outside the shrine bring the feeling of the wind indoors. The sound of the wind permeates the shrine, too, giving the whole space movement and life. I imagine in the kinds of storms we get in the highlands, the wind must absolutely pummel this small, exposed worship space. I also imagine people coming to pray and think, sporadically, in all kinds of weathers, from pounding rains to cold fogs, bushfire smoke and fierce heat waves. Because of all the reflective surfaces, and the glass, I found that everywhere I look in this chapel, I see not only the sacred imagery, but also the movement of trees outdoors, enveloping and permeating everything. I also see myself, reflected as a part of the whole.
Below is a small piece of video I captured on Christmas 2017 in the Chapel of Mercy at Ta' Pinu Shrine. There are also photos, showing its location on the hill, and the other artistically created shrines, sculptures, and crosses scattered about the site. It is all very sensitively created and positioned to speak with the Australian landscape. Urban life in the form of the Western freeway is clearly present, yet it seems not to intrude. The whole Ta Pinu complex is designed as a pilgrimage walk. A walk down the hill through the extended site shows the shrine that I visited, the Chapel of Mercy, to be the uppermost of a whole series of tiny, exquisite chapels, each created by different multicultural Roman Catholic communities resident in Australia. These jewel-like chapels were mostly closed on the day I visited, and so I huddled on the doorstep outside the Slovenian chapel, fending off swarms of large Australian ants, telling myself to wear boots next time. It would be a delight to visit all the multicultural chapels one day when Ta Pinu is fully open for pilgrimage.

Summer engagement sessions have always been a T&K favorite for many reasons. We love the warm sun, the vibrant colors, the sweet smell of freshly mowed grass, days on the lake, and the way sunsets look AND feel! What is better than that?! Getting to spend one of those sunsets with your amazing clients!
Amanda and Justin came to us for a fun, go with the flow, summer engagement session! It was a beautiful evening and we surely did have a blast exploring all over! We stumbled upon a huge green field and ended up by the beautiful Meads Quarry! Jumping in the Quarry water was a perfect way to end Amanda & Justin's hot, humid, and sweaty session! Going with the flow always does our clients (and us) well!

A commemoration of the No Tears Suite from the Summer 2019 issue
I hadn't been to Little Rock until the performance, and to be able to go to the museum across the street, to be reminded with videos how horrific that moment was, to actually play in that school, that was deep. To know that this is something that's so heavy, something we're still going through, even. To be there in the same town, on the same block, in the exact same building and onstage, in that beautiful auditorium. It was an emotional time.
Zora Neale Hurston's lessons in writing a love story
At one point, sitting in the Beinecke Library, I closed my eyes and let my fingers fall on random sentences of Hurston's masterwork. Word for word, sentence for sentence, Their Eyes Were Watching God was damn near flawless.
Mike Frolich's artistic legacy in the Saturn Bar
One of my many justifications for keeping the devil was Frolich's claim that his paintings were created in part for the children of the Ninth Ward, more of whom run through our house than the Saturn Bar. Kids need a relationship with their devils as much as adults do. Instead of renouncing or banishing them, children should know their features and particular hues, their habitats and gestures. Keeping them in steady sight, they're easier to manage.
On the architecture of white supremacy
Let us look again, now, at this beautiful house, read it this time as a series of universally legible signs for white supremacy. You arrive on horseback and wait outside a gate—the first of several barriers, both physical and human, that must be passed through to reach the master—and enter onto a private road that takes you through a cathedral-like apse of oaks, arranged to express the planter's dominion over the natural world. From this road, you do not see the functional buildings—kitchen, smithy, stables—nor the quarters for the people the planter enslaves; those are small, unpainted, off to the side. The planter's house stands alone at the end of this archway of boughs, a telos and a temple. Great white columns rise two stories from their plinths, supporting a pediment that drags its tip against the sky. It looks for all the world like a Roman temple. And who lives in temples but the gods?
An Omnivore essay from the Spring 2019 issue.
Due to his health, Leon Redbone can no longer be interviewed. In a way, he's become a version of the old-time musicians he so admired, about whom little is known: You can only reach them through recordings, archival materials, and the accounts of other people. Longtime friends and band members tell me they knew never to ask about his past. Others say they were sworn to secrecy, and intend to keep the secrets. His own family members say they know little about his early life.
An installment of Chris Offutt's Omnivore column, Cooking with Chris.
Every prepper magazine carried an article on water, mainly because there are a lot of overpriced devices out there for gathering, purifying, and transporting it. This gave me a sense of ease because as a rural man, I have my own well and am not dependent on external sources! My mitigation was fleeting—the pump runs on electricity. Just like that, I became a selfish, uncaring, deficient man, dependent on the power grid. A section on "Clean Water Wares" gave me serious concern due to its opening line:
With very few exceptions, water is the most important element required to survive an extended emergency.
An installment of Chris Offutt's Omnivore column, Cooking with Chris.
Big Bad Breakfast's official slogan is "Lard have Mercy," and I own one of their souvenir t-shirts. Recently I began to consider the words more carefully. Could it be sacrilegious? How does the Lord feel about lard? Would God be annoyed that his power of mercy is used to peddle apparel? No, I concluded. The phrase is intended as funny, and one thing is certain: God has a sense of humor. Otherwise, where did ours come from?
Sarah Winchester and the legacy of living with gunsIt's difficult to understate how the repeating rifle revolutionized killing, of both animals and man, as it brought the world from the single-shot muzzle-loaded rifle to a gun that could hold multiple cartridges and fire two shots per second. It's the "gun that won the West."
Anne Spencer's ecosystem of art and activism
As I read, I fell in love with Anne Spencer's fierceness and wit. In some ways, she reminded me of my own grandmother—a voluble woman, gardener, and scrawler of notes on the back of lists. Finding Spencer's scraps, I felt the same sort of matriarchal literary presence amid the dailiness of domestic life: glimpses of how an ambitious, literary-minded woman might manage a house.
An installment in Chris Offutt's Omnivore column, Cooking with Chris.
Consumption of worms is widespread throughout the world among many disparate cultures, particularly in Canada. (The French confine themselves to eating snails.) This tradition extends to contemporary America, especially with children. My son ate worms. As a child I ate them when I felt left out or had my feelings hurt by other kids. Worms were an early comfort food. Eventually a folksong emerged from the hills based on my predeliction. Untold fortunes have been made from the song and I never saw a penny of royalties!

Astrology - a waste of time or once in a lifetime opportunity?
The stars strike all. Some feel them intensely and others fleeting by. That several of us would seek the answers to the mysterious maneuvering of planets and cosmic points is perhaps a divine arrangement. Astrologers delve deep and ponder the planets. Many of them have contributed a great deal to the demystification of cosmic phenomena. Rishis who created the astrological classics, the rajajyotishis in the durbars of Indian Kings, crystal gazers of the medieval times in Europe or the astrologers of China, all have charmed and drawn the masses to them.
History has that astrologers, firm in their conviction, faced bravely the attacks by the self-styled `rationalists' and `scientists' in every age. Many peaceful astrologers engaged in developing astrology scientifically have been persecuted in the name of witchcraft.
The interest in natural and holistic sciences and astrology was sustained in Russia in spite of a ban thanks to the repressive policies adopted by the officially atheistic Russian governments since 1917. It is said that an astrology enthusiast was even sent for treatment, during the period of his military service, when it was noticed that he was reading a photocopy of an astrological book. According to a story that circulates among Russian astrologers, in 1929, Stalin's government decided to rid the Soviet Union, once and for all, of all the remaining astrologers, who still operated behind the scenes. The secret police managed to organize an astrological conference, and with most of Soviet astrologers assembled in one place, they simply wiped them out. Participants were invited to a state- sponsored banquet, and once they boarded the bus, they were sent away to quite a different destination- a concentration camp. Hardly anybody survived. It is noteworthy that even at the height of communist repression in 1939; some people were experimenting with Kirlian photography of aura of man. We are familiar in our scriptures of the extra ordinary auras of avatars.
Mr.K.N.Rao says your study of astrology does not go waste as you could have brought an earlier lifetime of work built into you in the form of your samskaras (psycho-mental tendencies). Perhaps all the astrologers who were treated brutally in Russia in their previous birth are re-born with an opportunity to develop an advanced astrological sense. May be the astrologers of today are those who had dabbled in astrology in their earlier lives.
The spread of astrology is welcome as it affirms its popularity and gives hope of its revival. However, its wild misuse is a cause for concern. Astrology to me is a perfect science. It is a super science. How the planetary position in the sky unravels, up to the day, when an event is to take place, is as amazing as many of the myriad mysteries of our universe- how the human body works at the physical, mental and spiritual levels simultaneously through sensory perceptions; the nature that surrounds us with beauty and magically regenerates itself. That too fills us with awe and admiration for the Creator.
With interest in astrology developed since childhood and having learnt it and practiced it in an organized way under the guidance of Mr.K.N.Rao for the past 20 years, I can advocate with conviction that astrology is a science that works very well.
For every astrologer the paths may be numerous but the goal remains one-a correct prediction. I can say with confidence that many systems being practiced all across the globe can deliver the same correct prediction when perfected. Vedic astrology has a definite edge over other systems due to the numerous dashas developed by great rishis, perhaps through their yogic practice.
do predictions go wrong?
They have to, when self-styled astrologers with superficial ideas shoot predictions from the hip or when those with incomplete knowledge and the intention to extort money, predict with nefarious and commercial motives. Astrology is growing in popularity; the media reflects, magnifies this trend. Big money is to be had from telecast of hyped up programs of predictions. People are waylaid and made to believe what, in a true sense, is not astrology. Wrong predictions are being unleashed on the gullible. All you need to look like an astrologer is a kurta and a tilak.
Predictions also go wrong when even the serious astrologer, at best, reaches a sketchy picture of things in store. We can perhaps with sincere study, arrive at a range of eighty percent knowledge of the subject. The balance twenty percent needs to be achieved by an astrologers' intuition and insights acquired through spiritual practices. The dasha of the astrologers at the time he is predicting is also important. Wrong predictions could also result from incorrect birth data provided by the client. And even a well-meaning astrologer could go wrong through an inadvertent manipulation of facts or principles.
In view of this, before announcing predictions, it is the moral duty of the astrologer to make his client aware of these limitations. This advice may appear unviable for the commercially inclined astrologers, but it makes for sustainable and credible astrology, and is an essential statutory warning for our trade for, like nuclear buttons and surgical instruments, some astrological predictions too leave deep scars. Astrology should therefore be allowed to be practiced by only those who are conscientious and have the stamp of qualification from a recognized training school. The fact that so many seek astrological guidance should make the policy makers introduce astrology in the universities and devise ways to help institutions like Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, which imparts the best training in astrology.
of existence of Astrology
The evidence of it can be inferred from the great epic Ramayana where astrology is a continuing theme. Lord Rama some claim lived 900,000 years ago. We have historical evidence of mundane astrology learning dabbled in during the times of Varahamihira, sixteen hundred years ago and in the court of Mughal Emperors Akbar and Jehangir 450 years ago. The great treatise Brihat Samhita and Akbarnama exist as historical evidence that cannot be challenged and are available for anyone to examine.
Fortune is ensured by good Karmas
The Gyan (Knowledge)- truth can be had from religious literature spread all over the world and accessible on the net too. Additionally astrology with its capacity to predict correctly brings conviction that it is the karmas alone that make or mar a destiny. A person with both spiritual advancement and astrological insight can decipher the design of destiny better than a person with one of them.
of Paths
The course of destiny does not alter much. One can at best minimize or maximize the preordained by exercising free will. The agami (current) good karmas can minimize suffering and the bad ones maximize even the predestined. The jolts of sufferings of worldly life prompt many to switch paths. Some choose spiritual life when unable to cope with torments of the worldly life.
can make you responsible
By demonstrating correct horoscope readings astrology can make people realize that there is a destiny at work. When convinced that every act gets registered with the power that make the destiny, corrective steps can easily come and make people more responsible towards the society Wisdom is born from objectively assessed mistakes. History too makes a person wise. Astrology not only helps one to reflect on the past, present and future but also explains the cause of bliss and suffering.
- a grossly unutilized Brahma-Astra
Astrology can reform society. It alone has the potential to change the mindsets of people and make them more responsible. It can also help the government to deal with many of its problems.
In our newsletter series we shall take up issues that are confronting our society and offer astrological solutions. The first in the series is focused on that abiding social institution- marriage. This is being taken up in this letter.
The weakening of the Institution of marriage is a huge social problem being faced by most societies across the globe.
A hard-to-deny trend is the creation of heaven like comforts- secure and speedy travel , places of entertainment and leisure in developing countries at the cost of happiness in fragile homes.
Social researchers find this change responsible for the tug-of-war in homes that has been found breaking family ties on slight provocation and for frivolous reasons. The remarriages and re-remarriages that leave psychologically challenged children can be attached to changing social patterns and lifestyles.
On 2nd December, 2012 we had a workshop on 'Finer Points of Marriage' at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. It began with fundamental issue of understanding man, woman and marriage. It was highlighted that unless one can read the character of an individual correctly, these finer points cannot be drawn. Men from Mars try to learn more and more about women from Venus and women from Venus more about men. They together then try to understand marriage. At the fag end of life they are more confused. This is evident from the difference in views of even scholars and psychologists. Shakespeare said in Hamlet ' Woman thy name is frailty'
Astrology offers a scientific character analysis from
the horoscope. A reflection on the ascendants of seven varga charts of a
horoscope reveals it all. Psychologists cannot do that. Is Marriage Destiny or Chance?
From the perspective of astrology, it is the planets and their movements that decide whether a relationship will snap or last, whether there would be happiness from it or gloom, whether there would be gains in terms of children, property and the like, or losses. Astrology helps us to plan a marriage and even strategies for its survival.
Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna in Bhagavad Gita that all that is happening is predestined and we are mere puppets
Marriage is still central to the way we arrange relationships in modern society. Marriage is a dominant theme in movies, books, TV serials or life itself.
Astrologically, this dominating influence can be traced to six out of the twelve houses of a horoscope, clearly slotting fifty percent of life space. It dominates the 7th house of the horoscope that confronts the Ascendant eye to eye. This perhaps causes the lifelong clash with the partner who evokes passions of love and hate.
There is much talk of the threat to the institution of marriage as the norms which were holding it together are being mercilessly demolished. The divorce rate is going up in most societies. Separation even through a trivial mismatch of moods is the order of the day. It causes tension and looms heavy over the bond of marriage.
In the Indian context, marriage is sacred, as it is seen to be a connection of at least seven lives- in the past, present and future.
Dubai may be building a Taj Mahal four times the size of the Taj Mahal built by Shahjahan in Agra but we Indians build Taj Mahals on a daily basis. We take them with our soul for even the next birth and claim to have brought the Taj Mahals conceived in our earlier births with our soul. Therefore, divorce, separation, re-marriage, multiple-marriages, that are increasingly common in Western societies are never a comfortable proposition palatable for Indians.
Many Sevens
There are 7 pheras (rounds). There is the belief that connection with the spouse is of 7 lives. It all has to do with the 7th house. The 7th is the most distant house and represents the society. There is always a conflict between the self and society and the spouse is a part of the society. The other houses are allotted wealth-loss, brothers -elder and younger, mother and work, children and father; and enemy and longevity.
The 7th is the most challenging house in today's context. Here's why.
Our basic instincts and sensuality attract us to many opposites, including, most importantly, the opposite sex. This natural stirring of love and passion, brings joy, often changes lives in fundamental ways.
The 7th house not only attracts us to the opposite sex but to many more opposites
The most revered classical text, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra mentions wife, travel, trade, loss of sight, sex, death and the like as areas governed by the 7th house.
Phaldeepika another great classic recommends that all about desire, passion, sexual desire, a way, people, husband, road and wife should be read from the 7th house.
War- Death – The 7th represents all Three
In his presentation ` Glimmer of Hope in a strife torn World' during the Global conference on Mundane Astrology at Vishakhapatnam from 1-4 October, 2010, Mr. K.N. Rao convincingly demonstrated through the horoscopes of many heads of states, prime ministers and presidents that they were engaged in war in the dasha of the lord of the 7th house, the planets in the 7th house or planets aspecting the 7th house. Clearly the 7th represents, the spouse, the society, war and also death. The classical and the researched are on the same line.
Mundane astrology suggests that we see - war, foreign countries, disputes, international affairs from the 7th house.
It can be called the house of Dreams, Desire and Death. When swayed by desires, the discretion is lost.
In ashtanga yoga the 7th is the house of dhyana (concentration), Concentration amidst diversion.
Vows are kicked in Kaliyuga?
Why marriages in India last more than marriages all over the world? The reason is a ritualistic approach that reminds one of the commitments made in the presence of the sacred fire with almost everyone you know present. The 7 vows of marriage prevent easy break of marriage. The sacredness of a ritual called `phere' (going around fire (Agni)) 7 times is emphasized to prevent a break for frivolous reasons. These seven vows serve as anchor to keep the couple together amidst odds.
With each phera the couple makes a vow in presence of the holy fire and witnesses in form of the wedding guests.
does each pledge signify?
The relationships that begin with lust or love to have vows but if the bond is not protected from the fear of adverse repercussions from fire and planets, it breaks on slight provocation. The society too plays an important role in the survival of marriage. If remains a silent spectators to wrong doings, the divorce rate and separations will go up. In India the Judicial system has become conscientious. They do not allow the couple to separate easily. Rituals help cement the bond. In absence of a sacramental bonding, the relationship is likely to break easily. A sacramental marriage in any society is a vow in itself. It is absent live-in relationships.
is Lust
Lust or infatuation or attraction is ` just an intense desire'. It involves excitement and urgency, primarily related to sex. In present times it is found that this feeling invariably disappears on promises made in lust rage not fulfilled or the partner getting attracted to someone else or a mismatch of moods bringing change of attitude resulting in disputes.
is Love
Although this starts with the feeling of attraction, it goes beyond that and is a more longstanding. It develops as a sense of warmth in the heart for the partner. A marriage with love combined with vows should be a lasting one. However, this does not happen always as when a person is in love his/her reasoning ability is impaired for this reason you call love blind. A dis-balance is caused which takes time to normalize. After normalization it is the dashas that start to anchor his/her moods.
Partnering could mean sleeping with the Enemy
A marriage partner or a business partner could be an adversary we opt to live and work with. We invite them to our fold as they appear to be desirable companions. One for fulfilling our needs in our Grihastha ashram and other to amplify our energy for rapid growth to realize our dreams for acquisitions and success as 1 and 1 make 11 not 2.We hate and love them!
Often, inspite of disputes and knowing well that they have turned out to be our adversaries, we do not part, for we need them. One may part with the business partner swiftly, whenever the bond cracks severely but with the spouse one cannot part so easily even after a dispute, since the legal, societal, moral and karmic bindings are strong. Once a partner is chosen, it is a karmic binding for life. Our shastras have therefore rules defined for the commitments with the opposite sex what we now know as marriage. With common law marriage, live-in –relationships, gay marriages gaining acceptance and recognition from law, it's time we review the institution of the traditional marriage with cultural, social, moral and karmic bindings.
marriages made in a heaven or do we have a choice
The karma theory cites rinanubandhan ((debt of past lives) as a probable reason for choice of people who surround us. Does the divine power that plots our destiny decide our partner before our birth? This question can be best answered by astrologically inclined and the spiritually evolved.
Researches A Challenge
It is a challenge to produce new researches. The classics written in a male dominated society on could visualize death that could separate one in a marriage. We are in a different world today. We have to see classics only as hints.
love laid bare, can greed be far behind?
So in today's world a quick buck can be made from those runaway passions, the profiteers can profit from love. Why should not they leave a known human weakness unexploited -Viagra had to come for men and now for women. The market also includes those whose sex life is or has been rich.
Can we have a fairy tale love? A reality check. How do we characterize modern marriage Are two people satisfied in their relationship? Can we term earlier marriages in a male dominated society successful, since they lasted, in most cases till death did them part. Do we ignore the fact that there was no scope for a woman to assert her rights freely and dispute unjustified actions as she was economically dependent? Can we term those marriages also successful where a man married another woman inspite of a devoted wife because both marriages lasted lifelong? Can you have the concept of happy marriage of a literate to a semi-educated woman, who may have devoted herself to rearing children and attending household chores, blissfully unaware of her potential and devoid of aspirations? But, for understanding what is happiness and unhappiness is we have go back to our shastras. When you have expectations, you have unhappiness.
Horoscope Matching of today too requires innovative Methods
Matching of horoscopes by merely seeing the points out of 36 is woefully inadequate. These days the instant computer results leave many hearts broken for no reason as the self-styled astrologers and computer software's quickly churn out matching results that have no basis. We have a colleague in Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan whose marriage has crossed 50 years; it is a beautiful and blissful marriage still with only 13 points in matching.
The dosha samya matching by some astrologers does not answer the purpose of matching when we have highly educated women outpacing men in many fields. Shudh jatak matching, a part of bhava milaan is also to be viewed in modern context. An evaluation in totality with desh kaaland paatra is required. My half written book `Choosing a Partner' is gathering dust. I intend making it a comprehensive book for Horoscope Matching. I am also updating the Chapter Selection of Spouse of my book Indian Marriage in Modern Urban Educated Society with the 2ndedition.
The Seminar and Convocation of 14th October, 2012 began with the presentation of some case studies of people who faced challenges in their middle age by the research scholars of Junior Research group under the guidance of Mr.K.N.Rao. It was explained by Mr.Rao that the middle age is a transformation from teenage or early adulthood when one is dependent on parents.. In middle age he is on his own, has his own family, his profession, and his children whose problems of study, career and children worries him. What do the dashas and yogas indicate in middle age is a fascinating study.
The second half of the program had a well-attended Convocation. Hon'ble Justice Mr. Vipin Sanghi, Judge Delhi High Court who was the Chief Guest in his address said "I am not an Astrologer but I belong to family which believes in honoring Hindu traditions. We have been consulting astrologers. I came closer to astrology through Yogi Bhaskaranandji, whose disciple is Mr.K.N.Rao, the founder of this Institute. Sometime around 1984 Mr.K.N.Rao was invited to my house by my father Shri G.L.Sanghi. He was requested to call Mr.Rao to our house by Yogi Bhaskaranandji . I was student pursuing law at that time. The entire family became friendly with Mr. Rao
Hindu Jyotish is an integral part of Hindu traditions. Shodasamskaras muhuratas based on astrology can be seen practiced all around us though the bulk among them witnessed are the marriage and death samskaras The traditional values and way of life practiced by Lord Rama and Lord Krishna as mentioned in our puranas come to us in some form or the other therefore even today the 16 samskaras and astrology are an inseparable part of Hindus
Over a period of time priorities have changed. Whatever causes tension becomes the subject of consultation both for astrologers and the judiciary. These days it is marriage and property. Both of understand the changing pulse of society better than people from other professions
Like the western scientists, India's scientist oppose astrology blindly, without producing a single evidence, and not even bothering to learn astrology to refute many researches that have been done by astrologers. This is clearly injustice.

Vedic Astrology Program, 2012
The exhaustive seventeen day, nine nation program from 25th October to 10th November had many participants. Some stretched for the full seventeen days and others for shorter durations. The program was followed by visits to Varanasi, Karoi and Vrindavan. Twelve teachers of the Institute of astrology, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan displayed their knowledge and teaching skills to give the participants a taste of this divine science. Almost all commented that the standard was high and the arrangements excellent. Many said that they had not been to a better organized program anywhere in the world. The applause and feedback affirms the success of the program. Mr.K.N.Rao remarked that the program was a huge success. Professor N.N. Pillai, Principal Institute of Astrology, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan announced the launch of quarterly Global Journal of Astrology. The announcement was hailed by all.
My Take-Away from the program
i) There is enthusiasm for Vedic Astrology. We should not miss the opportunity to harness. The collaborative mails from US Russia and Japan reached us within hours of announcement from the Hotel rooms in Delhi itself
ii) Astrology has the potential to reform the world. The brilliance of thoughts that surfaced from both teachers and participants go to show that there is talent spread which can be utilized through collaboration. The participants were knowledgeable and their uptake good.
ii) There is urgent need to collaborate and add value to the ongoing research.
to Pandit Nathulal in Karoi
The readings from Pandit Nathulal last month were amazing. I would recommend a visit to him to all who are engaged in astrology. This was my second visit to Karoi. I have had numerous readings and have been to several Brighu, Nadi and Prashna astrologers. I would rate Pandit Nathulal the best. He answered the prashnas with his supernatural powers. I could sense divinity. The most astonishing part was that many of his predictions were the same as what I had got from other readings. We should undertake a research project on Brighu readings and combine it with our research.
Marma Science and Therapy program 18-22 November, 2012 Mrityunjay Mission
(Foundation for Vedic Medical Sciences Venue
Dr. Joshi as usual provided instant relief with his magical touch to many in the audience. When given an opportunity to speak, I said that I have been associated with Dr.Joshi's programs since 2010 and have witnessed many miracles in Delhi, Hardwar, Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe. We need to cooperate. All those who have benefited should come together more often. I had called it a simplified yoga in my earlier writings and in addition to that I would call Marma Therapy the Magical curative touch for incurable diseases. It can be done by anyone at no cost and no medicines.
We were expecting a major event when Rahu came in conjunction with the Sun in the western direction of India as Vishakha nakshatra represents the south west direction in the Koorma Chakra. The death of Bal Thakeray brought Mumbai to a halt on with 2000000 mourners in the funeral. He was a visionary with an unmatched political acumen. He could catch son-of-soil sentiments in people and through this swung them away to his party at a time one no could think of a replacement of Congress. He leaves a political legacy of pride and fear.
Assumed Birth Time : Date of Birth: 23rd January, 1926 7:00 Bombay
Sun Jupiter in the Ascendant. Lagna in shubha kartari .Ascendant lord in the 11th with the 11th lord and most planets around the Lagna show a towering personality.
and Economy
Fitch has again warned of downgrade. Both Fitch and Standard & Poor's earlier this year cut their ratings outlooks to negative. Astrologically also the Chaitra Shukla Pratipada horoscopes for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 do not promise a stable economy.
- a stormy revival
The super storm sandy brought with it winds of change favoring US and Obama. This was expected in the dasha of Mars with relatively strong chaitra shukla pratipada chart of the US.

Farewell to the Festive Season
The end of October brought to a close a month chock-full of holidays almost from beginning to end, giving us a chance to catch our breath, turn our clocks back an hour early Sunday, Nov. 6, face whatever Election Night brings us Tuesday, Nov. 8, and look ahead to the secular feast of Thanksgiving on Thursday, Nov. 24, by which time fall weather might arrive.
The unusually warm October meant that even though Sukkot was later than normal, it was still pleasant to spend time eating, drinking and even sleeping beneath the stars in the sukkah.
We thank those of you who sent us photos of your sukkahs to share with the community; we hope to do a better job soliciting submissions next year.
In addition to three home sukkahs, we have high school freshmen in the sukkah at the Weber School, the Marcus Jewish Community Center's family festival Oct. 23 and the fascinating, foodie-friendly, farm-to-table dinner held at Aluma Farm on Oct. 23.

Thanks! Maybe it would be better to describe it as smooth rather than creamy. Still learning this tasting thing. And hey! I got some things right! It was cherries! yeah, rocky would be a good way to put it, but it's underlying.Lemir wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 3:28 pm
I remember having that tea last year in their black tea sampler, so I've poked around for my notes Don't remember it being too creamy. I've definitely found sweetness both in aroma and taste, almost honey-like, but with more clean/rocky note, so rock sugar? Tartness got classified as cherry, it's a note I've found in most taiwanese blacks I had from TTC. From what recall it was most prominent in Red Jade cultivar. Definitely something that took some time for me to like, although this wild tea was the best one from the sampler.
Did you get the black tea sampler too? That's how I discovered this tea. And yes, this was by far the best of the sampler. Enough so that I promptly ordered more.

Retail industry sales for November (which exclude automobiles, gas stations, and restaurants) rose 7.4 percent unadjusted over last year and increased 0.5 percent seasonally adjusted from the previous month, according to the National Retail Federation. The increase is in line with NRF's holiday sales forecast of 6 percent growth.
"Consumers shook off concerns about higher energy costs and responded well to the seasonal promotions," said NRF Chief Economist Rosalind Wells. "If November is any indication of what consumers are capable of, retailers can expect a very happy holiday season."
November retail sales released today by the U.S. Commerce Department show that total retail sales (which include non-general merchandise categories such as autos, gasoline stations and restaurants) rose 0.3 percent seasonally adjusted from November, and increased 6.3 percent unadjusted year-over-year.
NRF says strong year-to-year growth was reported across nearly every retail industry category, including building material and garden equipment and supplies stores, which jumped a whopping 14.3 percent over last year, according to NRF. The main drivers for this holiday, apparel and electronics, also experienced solid growth. Sales at clothing and clothing accessories stores rose 7.6 percent year-over year and electronics and appliance stores jumped 7.4 percent from November 2004.
NRF says it expects retail industry sales to increase 5.6 percent this year over 2004. Holiday sales, which are defined as retail industry sales in the full months of November and December, are expected to rise 6 percent to $438.5 billion.Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

Pat Shurmur Expects Odell Beckham Jr. to Be Among Best WRs in Return from InjuryJune 6, 2018
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur placed lofty expectations on wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. when asked about the three-time Pro Bowler on Tuesday.
According to Eric Barrow of the Daily News, Shurmur spoke at a Giants town hall event and said: "We expect him to be one of the best receivers in the game. One thing I know about OBJ—this young man loves to play football, and he loves being a Giant."
Beckham missed all but four games last season due to a fractured ankle.
The 25-year-old appears to be recovering well from ankle surgery, as he has taken part in voluntary OTA practices and drills.
Because of his contract situation, the 2018 season is a big year for OBJ. Unless the Giants sign him to an extension, Beckham can become a free agent next offseason, and he will command a huge salary if he performs well and avoids injury.
When healthy, Beckham has consistently been among the NFL's elite receivers since entering the league as a first-round pick out of LSU in 2014. In each of his first three seasons, he finished with at least 90 catches, 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He finished with just 25 grabs for 302 yards and three touchdowns in four games last season, but he was on pace to hit most of his usual benchmarks.
The Giants will have a different offense in 2018 with Shurmur at the helm, and they figure to have more balance after selecting Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 pick in the draft.
With less pressure on Beckham and quarterback Eli Manning to carry the offense, there could be more big-play opportunities, which is where OBJ truly shines.

Manual Image Size
Hi. Is there a way to manually assign width and height to each single image?
Hello Joe,
you can change image sizes under "settings - media" and then choose large/medium/small for each gallery separately.
You can't change image size individually just for one image.
Keep in mind that image is downscaled only if it's larger than specified size - you can resize your image before uploading to Berta.
Good luck

Pre-Open stocks action
U.S. stocks looked set for a lift as a handful of semiconductor and satellite shares were bid higher in London. Brokers moved to support the typically volatile stocks; J.P. Morgan Securities and Lehman Brothers both raised their ratings for chip-sector shares.
See indications for full pre-open coverage.
Global Markets
Shares in Europe and London were steady, with drugmakers in focus on the Continent and as earnings lifted the FTSE. Japan's Nikkei got a boost from a surge in household spending.
See Global Markets page for Europe, U.K. and Asia markets.
Broker Action
J.P. Morgan Securities upgraded Intel Corp. INTC, -1.33% to "overweight" and Texas Instruments TXN, -0.23% to "neutral" and raised Fairchild Semiconductor FCS to "overweight" from "neutral." The broker also lifted Cypress Semiconductor CY, +0.09% to "overweight" and lifted National Semiconductor NSM, +0.00% to "neutral" from "underweight." The broker said the upgrades reflect its "more bullish view" on the industry.
UBS lifted its rating on Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. SIRI, -1.46% to "buy" from "neutral" and maintained its price target on the stock at $6.75 -- indicating an expectation for a 21 percent rise in the stock from the Monday close. "We believe the fears over first-quarter 2005 seasonality are reflected in the stock and continue to expect Sirius to achieve its full-year subscriber target of 2.5 million," the broker said. UBS also upgraded XM Satellite Radio Holdings XMSR to "buy" from "neutral" and lifted its price target $40.50 from $38.
Merrill Lynch upgraded consumer products maker Johnson & Johnson JNJ, -1.25% to "buy" from "neutral," saying it expects less earnings-per-share dilution tied to the Guidant acquisition in 2005.
Smith Barney Citigroup upgraded pharmaceuticals company Elan Corp. ELN, -4.07% to "hold" from "sell." The broker said though a link to progressive multifocal leukoenecphalopathy in Tysabri, the multiple sclerosis drug it manufactures with Biogen Idec, Inc. (BIIB: news, chart, profile) and whose marketing was suspended on Monday, can't be dismissed, any such link may not preclude Tysabri's ultimate return to the market.

- Marsh & McLennan MMC, -1.42% halved its fourth-quarter dividend to 17 cents a share and said it sees 2,500 more job cuts as the world's largest insurance broker tries to recover from New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's October bid-rigging lawsuit. The company said net losses in the period were $676 million, or $1.28 a share, including restructuring costs, regulatory settlements and other related expenses. An ongoing reorganization could affect about 2,500 staff worldwide and save $375 million a year. That's on top of the 3,000 layoffs announced in November.
- Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -0.60% is selling its entire stake in Sinopec for $1.4 billion, Dow Jones Newswires said, citing a person familiar with the situation. Exxon is selling the stake in the Chinese refiner for between HK$3.38 and HK$3.525 a share, the report said; Sinopec closed at HK$3.525 on Tuesday. Royal Dutch/Shell RD SC, -1.21% sold its Sinopec stake in March last year.
- Archstone-Smith ASN, +0.85% said it will pay about $1.4 billion to acquire 30 apartment communities, adding to the company's presence in California and in the Washington, Boston, Chicago and Seattle markets. The deal encompasses more than 10,000 apartment units. Archstone-Smith said the acquisition will add 1.5 cents per share to its 2005 funds from operations and will contribute 3 cents on an annualized basis.
- SAP AG SAP, -1.43%, the Walldorf, Germany, producer of software-based business solutions, realigned its executive board to focus each member on a specific area of the company's operations. Confirming a report in The Wall Street Journal, SAP said the move would speed delivery of solutions to customers. The Journal said the move reflects SAP's rivalry with Oracle Corp. ORCL, -1.65%, which recently closed the $10.3 billion acquisition of PeopleSoft Inc., to provide business software.
- Gannett Co. GCI, +1.28% said it dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its auditor on Feb. 25 but said there wasn't any disagreements over accounting practices. "During the years ended Dec. 26, 2004 and Dec. 28, 2003, and through Feb. 25, 2005, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years," it said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Gannett replaced PwC with Ernst & Young, it said.
- Payless ShoeSource Inc. PSS said it's restating its accounting for leases and lease-related items "like numerous other retailers and many restaurant chains," and has found that it understated by $4.5 million deferred tax assets. Restated to account for these accounting differences, its loss in the fourth quarter ending Jan. 29 widened to $26.5 million, or 39 cents a share, amid $23.9 million pre-tax in restructuring charges, from a loss of $17.2 million, or 25 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Its 22 cent loss from continuing operations was wider than the broker forecast of 16 cents a share, according to Thomson First Call.
- Ikon Office Solutions IKN said that, as part of a cost reduction drive, it will exit its business document services unit and reduce the number of its sites offering off-site document management solutions for the legal industry from 82 to 65. The company also said it has substantially sold all of its operations in Mexico and is streamlining its field structure in North America. The actions will result in the elimination of about 1,500 positions in North America.
- Toys R Us TOY, +0.05% is pressing four buyout firms to better their offers in the final bidding round for its toy-retailing operation; the four have made offers from $3 billion to $3.5 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources. Toys R Us could name a winning bidder as soon as next year. The four firms are: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.; a partnership of Apollo Advisors LP and Permira Advisors Ltd.; an alliance between Bain Capital LLC and Vornado Realty Trust; and a group that includes Cerebus Capital Management LP, Kimco Realty Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the report said.
- British American Tobacco BTI, -1.23% said 2004 pretax profits rose 20 percent to 1.89 billion pounds on disposals, with revenue rising 34 percent to 34.26 billion pounds. Its operating profit excluding goodwill amortization and exceptional items was 2 percent higher at 2.83 billion pounds, in line with broker forecasts, as the strength of the British pound against the dollar and other currencies weighed.
- French pharmaceuticals group Sanofi-Aventis SNY, -0.30%, a result of a merger last year, said it expects earnings per share in 2005 to grow 18 percent -- or at the pace of growth in 2004. The drugmaker, the world's third largest, said it expects net sales to outpace the global market this year.

Acid stimulation of horizontal wellbores in high temperature and/or low permeability formations is complicated due to the need to balance acid reaction rates with the rate of formation penetration. At high bottom hole temperatures, uncontrolled acid spending rates result in inefficient or even damaging treatments. It is advantageous to add materials which slow the reaction of HCl or use alternative acids which are useful as alternative stimulation fluids, such as organic acids and chelants due to their inherently lower reaction rates. The slower reaction rate with carbonate minerals allows for optimal wormhole growth at the limited rates available in long horizontals. This study investigates the complementary use of acid or chelant systems together with a microemulsion delivery system to achieve the desired performance. These delivery systems can significantly increase the efficiency of HCl and chelant stimulation treatments of low-permeability carbonates by optimizing diffusivity and minimizing pressure to cleanup.
Horizontal core flow experiments were conducted by injecting solutions of 15 wt% HCl and 10–20 wt% alternative acids through low permeability (< 10 md) limestone cores. High permeability cores were also investigated by injecting 15 wt% HCl through high permeability (150–200 md) Indiana limestone cores. These experiments were conducted with and without the addition of a microemulsion additive and at core injection rates from 0.2 – 20 cm3/min corresponding to 0.25 to 5 BPM per 100 ft of a horizontal wellbore.
Significant performance advantages were found with the addition of the microemulsion delivery system. The treatment volume required for wormholes to propagate the length of the test core was reduced at all flow rates at or above the optimum rate. Core penetration was more efficient when using the microemulsion, without an increase in pumping pressure. Initiation and extension of wormholes was improved, as compared to the experiments without the microemulsion, in which more conical wormholes tended to form at the inlet face. The reduction in treatment volume necessary to reach breakthrough with the microemulsion present also suggested a more efficient treatment.
The complementary use of a microemulsion delivery system with acids and chelants has been shown to enhance acid stimulation treatment potential in long horizontal wellbores with high temperature or low permeability formations. This system can be used to optimize wormhole penetration while maintaining an optimum injection rate across long horizontal intervals where the maximum achievable injection rate is relatively low.

The AC power electromagnetics problems are found when studying motors, transformers, and conductors carrying alternating currents. The Helmholtz's equation
describes the propagation of plane electromagnetic waves in imperfect dielectrics and good conductors (σ » ωε). Here, ω is the angular frequency, ε is the coefficient of dielectricity, µ is the magnetic permeability, and σ is the conductivity. Complex permittivity εc is εc = ε-jσ/ω. The conditions at material interfaces with abrupt changes of ε and µ are typical for the variational formulation and do not require special attention.
The boundary conditions associated with AC power electromagnetics are a Dirichlet boundary condition, specifying the value of the electric field Ec on the boundary, and a Neumann condition, specifying the normal derivative of Ec. This is equivalent to specifying the tangential component of the magnetic field .
For details, see AC Power Electromagnetics Equations.

Last Friday, the Ohio eSchool Families & Friends Coalition awarded our annual Golden Apple Award to Senator John Eklund. In a small ceremony held in Middlefield, a very appreciative public eSchool family presented Sen. Eklund with his award.
The Mangan family has a high school-aged son enrolled in an Ohio eSchool. "Our son was born with a myriad of health problems that have affected his behavior and social skills," said Mrs. Mangan of Geauga County. "Although he excelled in his schoolwork, he would often get in trouble and bullied in the traditional public school he was enrolled in. We have seven children in our family - our son being the youngest - all of our other children were successful in our local school district, but we knew our son NEEDED an alternative option. We are so grateful for the opportunity to choose his educational path. Our eSchool has changed his life and we are so thankful to Senator Eklund for his consistent support of public eSchools and charter schools."
"Each year our Coalition is proud to recognize legislators who have stood up for a parent's right to choose the best learning environment for their child. All public schools will benefit when we trust parents," said Sara Donlon, Ohio eSchool Families & Friends Coalition President.
Congratulations, Senator Eklund on this award. Thank you for being a champion to eSchools and for trusting parents.

Clarification of new topics for Year 2
Do students have to draw indifference curves?
What diagram is expected to explain public/private partnerships?
- 696 views
- 1 reply
Hi and thank you for your questions.
Indifference curves are not included in the AS or A Level specifications, so students won't need to be able to draw or explain them. Regarding public/private partnerships, a standard market failure/ government intervention diagram, i.e. with MSB, MSC, MPB, MPC, effect on demand, costs etc. will suffice as long as it illustrates the answer and reflects what the question is asking.
I hope this answers your questions. Please do get in touch again if you have any further questions, via this Social Community, emailing at email@example.com or by calling 0122305530998.
Best wishes

Ok, I have a confession… I'm a little tipsy as I write this, and totally could use some McDonalds or a donair. A donair sounds really good. I wonder who delivers… I mean. This week was another great week for ERTC! Surprisingly very little rain other than Tuesday, where the women's ride saw torrential downpour after their ride on the way back in. Everyone got out of that alright, and the rest of the rides, incluing Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday saw great attendance!
Our BBQ on Saturday was a stunning success, a huge THANK YOU to James and his wife Jessica (and their adorable daughter Audrey) for hosting. Please take the time to thank him if you can. He did all the booze and food shopping and James manned the grill and took care of the cleanup afterwards, going above and beyond what we asked of him.
So for this week there are a couple things on horizon in terms of events, but the most important thing is that next week Tuesday intervals are now over – There will be a cross ride instead as the official ride. If you wish to continue with intervals, please speak up on Facebook. The rest will be in the announcements.
Cross is coming! The ERTC schedule has been fully updated to reflect the multitude of races we have coming up for cross – please take a look if you haven't already. Tuesdays will be switching from intervals to Cross rides soon.
Saturday, August 20th: A fun little event we are doing, the Merckx – 2 up TT – I'll let the Facebook event do the talking here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1110198669027033/ It's a private event, please e-mail me / FB message if you want an invite (if you haven't gotten one already) Basically you grab a partner, your road bike and road helmet and you pedal for 20km as hard as you can! The point is to have fun and get a little bit of race experience so it doesn't matter if your partner is fast or slow.
Monday September 5th, UCI/WTC Velothon: Billed as "Feel like a Pro" for a day, it's a 60/100KM "Gran Fondo" through closed Edmonton streets, using the same course the Pros will go through. It's the first event of it's kind in North America, and is sure to get spicy. We currently have 5 members of our race team confirmed for this. As a bonus afterwards, we can watch the pros do the very same course afterwards, and have a few brews doing it on a holiday Monday! http://tourofalberta.ca/velothonedmonton/
Sunday, September 10th, DV100 – The race/ride is definitely one of the biggest in Alberta with a bunch of racers showing up even though there are no points – it interferes with cross a little so it's a tough choice, but definitely a great event! We have several racers confirmed for this already, and with a trip to Belize and $14000 on the line in prizing, it is sure to get real rowdy! http://dv100.ca/
Ride Changes:
Tuesday Intervals will be meeting at 6PM at Wild Earth, for research park intervals. depending on attendance this may be changed to Hawrelak. If you want to ride your cross bike, please message Brandon Langille on Facebook or post something on the Facebook page as he will be doing a cross ride on Tuesday.
Saturday's main ride will be changed to the TT. There will be a group leaving Wild Earth to ride out, however the regular ride will still go if you don't want to do the TT, however we recommend you try the TT as a test of how fit you are.
All other rides will go as planned.

Phew I certainly had myself a busy little weekend. Saturday was filled with pin up beauties, greasers, hot rods, rockabilly bands and more cupcakes then I should admit to! I had a little stall at the Retro Vixens 2 event as well which was fun. Unfortunately I didn't get many photos and the ones I did have were from before people really started arriving, but you get the idea...
Then in the evening we headed to a bar called The Thirsty Dog listen to some bands play. My favourite New Zealand rockabilly band Dick Dynamite and the Doppelgangers played, as did this awesome band I had never heard of before called Slow Water Forty. I hadn't been out to see bands play in a really long time so although I was tired and my feet were killing me from wearing heels all day I still had a great time.
Then on Sunday we got up early and went to our regular cafe for breakfast before rushing home to get ready for a wedding. This wasn't quite your regular wedding because although it was held in a big old church and the ceremony itself wasn't anything unusual... the guests were! The theme for this wedding was Gothic Royalty. Everybody who attended dressed the part and it sure made for an amazing contrast to have this big old church filled with guests who looked they were dressed for a spectacular funeral but were in fact there to cheer the bride and groom on.
We ended up having such a fantastic afternoon and I met some really great people. Oh and they had the clever idea of installing a photo booth in the actual church so that all the guests could go and have their picture taken and then write a note to the bride and groom on the back... and we got to keep a copy too (yeah we were being a little bit silly, we'll blame the champagne!).
Well other than that life just seems to keep getting more exciting at the moment. I have so many things planned that I hardly know where to begin! I will keep you posted though because I think they are things that might just interest you.
Hope you all had a good week.

The bride was a goth ha ha ha excellent idea !ReplyDelete
That's a really great idea! And you look great in those pics.ReplyDelete
And you, btw, always seem to have so many great events over there...
Well the bride was actually the only one not wearing black... she had a beautiful rose coloured dress on.ReplyDelete
Ina - Really? I always feel like there is nothing ever going on here at the end of the world! We just seem to make our own fun most of the time.
looks so much fun - you should have taken more pics!ReplyDelete
We had hoped to come up to retro vixens but well the weekend disapeared in us. Looks great though and prob best on my purse that we did miss it :p.ReplyDelete
What a great theme for a wedding, a nice change from the traditional.
