Andrew Eagle
People get nervous when they have to give a presentation. Some like to write the whole script beforehand and meticulously memorise what it is they're going to say. Others prefer the safety of palm cards, with the major points jotted down lest they forget to include everything. Once I heard that if you put deliberate weight into your feet, pushing against the carpet, it can act as a kind of extra stability that stops the nerves from getting the upper hand and I've found that works. But for the more radically minded, if those techniques are not enough, there's always the strategy of enlisting a little assistance from beyond the grave.
There's nothing better than a good prop to garnish a presentation. In an English assessment for example, a visual aid can divert attention from grammar imperfections, stumbling vocabulary and a lack of planning beforehand. Fernando knows this. That's why, when I asked him to give his presentation to the class, he promptly unzipped his backpack and pulled out a genuine, bona fide human skull.
It's not that the unexpected is exactly out of place in the Bolivian capital of Nuestra Señora de La Paz. With regularity the streets are blocked by marching bands and dancers twirling and weaving their way in syncopation for several kilometres at a time, for festivals and in rehearsals for festivals. With regularity the streets are blocked by protests, by villagers airing their grievances or students chanting slogans with banners unfurled to be met with tear gas and water cannons. And when the miners come they've been known to light sticks of dynamite and call out a warning to stand clear before hurling it to a spot where no one is likely to be injured.
Indeed La Paz is a city where the bulk of the mountains to the east cut from the sky a jagged horizon, and the shadow of crevice, crevasse and cliff provide a foreboding backdrop as the denizens go about their days.
Neither was the unexpected exactly out of place at the language institute. It was housed in a former mansion and there were rumours that a ghost used to wander between the upstairs classrooms. Some of the Spanish teachers claimed to have encountered it.
There were odd stories of various happenings like the day Sergio mentioned that he'd been unable to attend the previous class due to his uncle's funeral. His family had been very upset, he said, until his uncle came back to life! He was asked to clarify. As the coffin was being lowered into the grave, Sergio said, the family had heard a strange knocking sound from inside. The coffin was opened and it was discovered his uncle had not, in fact, died. Sergio's family was overjoyed after that, he said. 'Okay, well try not to miss class again…'
And on the second of August when fires burn across the city the language institute is no exception. It's an auspicious day on the Aymaran calendar when businesses seek the patronage of the benevolent Pachamama, the mother-spirit of the world by performing the challa ritual. At the institute a traditional priest, a yatiri, was called to perform the ancient ritual that would bring blessings to the business for the coming year.
Yatiri means 'someone who knows,' what distinguishes them from others in the community, and by tradition they have been struck by lightning, which is understood as a calling to undergo the initiation as a yatiri; indeed it is believed that with the lightning strike the person has died and passed through death onto rebirth.
He was an old man, small and wrinkled, sporting a dusty jacket and a felt hat; and he set about laying newspaper on the floor of the reception area, followed by butcher paper, as a bird starts to build its nest. From black polythene bags he produced various other items, white llama wool, multicoloured cotton wool and sacred coca leaves. To the spectators he offered a few coca leaves to chew, a custom not dissimilar to betel chewing in Bangladesh, before busying himself adding a variety of what look like large lollies or mothballs: round ones, flat ones, brightly striped and pink ones, to his arrangement on the floor. He called each of the spectators in turn, placing in their hands a few of these ornaments to add to the offerings, before reciting prayers to the mountain spirits, to the water and the sky. Some shreds of llama fat were added before further prayers and then lastly, from another black polythene bag he brought forth the hard, black, dried llama foetus which he subsequently started to wrap in more cotton wool. 'He's dressing it,' the institute director told me. The foetus symbolises life-force.
A fire was stoked in the room's hearth, for the reception area was once a drawing room, and the yatiri poured local alcohol called chicha into a glass. In accordance with Aymara ritual he walked around the room tipping a little onto the floor in each corner in tribute, before throwing the rest onto the fire. Each of the spectators repeats the custom in turn. He then does the same once again only substituting alcohol for kerosene, interrupted only by a call on his mobile. Lastly the offering he's constructed on the floor is placed above each person's head, with a blessing said, before being transferred to the fire. The ashes will be buried on the following day in the garden, the year's blessing completed.
Such ceremonies are common across Bolivia, on the second of August and at other times, including at government occasions and functions. In new buildings in La Paz, a sacrifice to Pachamama is a pre-requisite, with a llama foetus buried in the foundations. For larger premises an adult llama is sometimes used to infuse life force, and there were other, more disturbing rumours…
'I will talk about anatomy,' Fernando said of his presentation, and as one of his medical specialisations it was a subject close to him. He used to lecture in anatomy at the university as well as working in a hospital. It's the reason he had access to bones.
For the next ten minutes he pointed from eye-socket to jaw bone, successfully diverting attention from confusion between the present simple and simple past. The nose cavity disguised various pronunciation foibles and the hole for the spinal column captivated as he searched for the English version of the Spanish skull-related vocabulary that he knew so well. It was a female skull he explained.
There were questions. 'What was the possible cause of death?' asked Karen. 'When you are working with dead bodies in the lab, did you ever see one move?' asked Bernarda. 'Don't you feel a bit horrible working with dead bodies?' asked Katherine.
Then it was Marcio's turn. He was the seventeen year old whose life ambition at the time was to become wealthy before retiring to a cave to live as a hermit, so he once said. His question: 'Can you get me one of those to use as a lamp in my bedroom?'
From there the conversation turned to body-snatching and the possibility that skeletons might indeed be available at the city's cemeteries. 'You get used to dealing with dead bodies,' Fernando explained, 'We need them for training. I always have a few bones in my backpack.' Fernando: there's no doubt he's an accomplished medical practitioner, but he's not great at completing his English homework, just quietly.

Do I really need to do another KotOR II post, you ask? I've written about it, I've made videos about it, I've tweeted about it. Surely by now I've said everything I need to say about it?
No, I still haven't. Something about it always eludes me when I try to write about it. The game is special to me, in a way that I find difficult to fully articulate. You'll notice the title says 15 years, even though KotOR II was released 17 years ago. That's because I first played it on Christmas Eve 2006, which still feels like yesterday, and it is slightly terrifying to realize it is almost half my life ago.
No other game, no other work of fiction, echoes in my head the way this one does, especially on dark winter evenings when I feel like a 16-year-old kid again, pondering the meaning of the Jedi Exile's story.
There's no perfect way to play the game. Every playthrough will involve some sacrifice. I'd argue the least satisfying way to play it as a bloodthirsty, unrepentantly dark side Exile, but even that makes a degree of sense. The horrors the Exile has witnessed could easily render them a twisted monster.
My preferred style is to play the Exile early as a cynical and bitter ex-Jedi, who over the course of the game gradually comes to understand the quest to find the lost Jedi as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for redemption. The tremendous spiritual gulf between the person who coldly ordered the use of the Mass Shadow Generator at Malachor V and the person who is capable of fighting to save Telos from Darth Nihilus, to redeem Visas Marr and Colonel Tobin, is a fascinating character study, and it's this spiritual journey that I think makes for the most compelling interpretation of the story.
Does this say something about me? I don't know; maybe so, although I think in this instance it's just my preference for a narrative where the protagonist changes compared to one where they don't.
Besides, despite the fact that it's a role-playing game, and the character whose role I am playing is the Exile, the Exile is not the character with whom I most empathize. No, that would be Atris; the historian who delves into realms of esoteric lore because she is incapable of letting go of the past. Like everyone in KotOR II, Atris is haunted by the events of the war; not by what she did, but what she did not do, and the nagging thought that the Exile was willing to take a risk that she never would.
That burning resentment, which she masks as loyalty to the Jedi code, fuels her, and ultimately leads her astray from the Jedi teachings. And Kreia observes that Atris views the Exile as her "champion," saying to the Exile "you were all that she could not be." Note that this is exactly the relationship of the player to the player character in a video game. The avatar represents the person we wish we were.
If you play KotOR II "right," you are forced to ask some questions about yourself. Like the Exile in the cave on Koribann, you "revisit the dark moments of your past." Everything in KotOR II is about redemption and regret, about reliving moments of failure, of weakness. To paraphrase Kreia, "you find yourself… or you find yourself lacking."
So many lines in KotOR II echo in my mind: "It is all that is unsaid upon which tragedies are built," or the Exile's line to Darth Sion, that Kreia chose them because they "could turn away from it." ("It" being the Force. Among other things, KotOR II is about turning away from power.)
Anyway, back to Atris. Atris who, despite her flaws, is not an irredeemable monster, and for me, one of the most powerful scenes in the game is when the Exile acknowledges their own role in making Atris what she is.
Atris replies with three sentences that are very important. The first is "save Telos," which is just a comment on the immediate threat: Telos is under attack by the Sith.
The second is "save the galaxy," which is Atris's recognition of the fact that unless the Sith are defeated at Telos, they will scour the galaxy. In other words, this battle is also the key moment in the entire shadow war of Sith vs. Jedi.
And then she says the most important thing of all:
"Save yourself."
I take this to mean that Atris realizes, possibly even before the Exile has, that they can be redeemed in this moment. That the battle of Telos, a planet ravaged by war, and struggling since the Exile's destruction of Peragus, is the moment when the Exile can finally atone for Malachor V. Like Kreia says early on, the Exile is the battlefield. The terrible galaxy-shattering religious war has been waged in the Exile's soul, culminating in this fateful hour.
Like all the really great epics, the secret of KotOR II is that, for all its vast scale, it is a very personal story. Everyone, I think, has something in their life that they regret, or that they would like a chance to do over again. That's what KotOR II is about, and that's the subtle beauty of its choice and consequence system: play it as a dark-sider, and it feels hollow and meaningless. Play it as a light-sider, and it's a hopeful story of redemption.
I've gone on enough, I suppose. My words alone can't convince you of what this game means to me, and maybe it truly is a case of "right place, right time." Maybe it wouldn't have struck me quite the same way if I'd played it earlier in my life, or later. But I hope I can least convince you of this much: that Art, supreme, powerful, meaningful Art, capable of moving someone on a very deep level, can come in all sorts of forms.
I guess it's easy for people to read all this and wonder how I can care about a game so much, and to point to everything it inherits from the silly traditions of pulp sci-fi, like laser battles and speeder races and women in metal bikinis dancing for space slugs. (Though these last two elements, it must be noted, are optional.) "It's just a game," they might say, shaking their heads. Well, yes; it is, after all, just a game. But art is always "just" art.
There is a school of thought in criticism which seems to implicitly believe that History is over, that all the truly great art has already been made, that the canons of world art and literature are complete, and anything new must be inferior.
Needless to say, I don't believe that. Like KotOR II itself when it was released, the artistic canons of the world are in a highly glitchy, unpolished state; fascinating but still in need of work, and creators of today still have as much capacity to make things that speak to the human soul as their predecessors did. There are great works yet to be made, just as the Exile is a "veteran of a war yet to come." To see them needs an expansion of our minds, and a willingness to look in unlikely places. Like the lost Jedi, Art may not be found where you expect, but in those humble, unassuming places no one even bothers to look.
Which brings me to the last point I want to make: KotOR II's overarching plot is about finding the lost Jedi. But what's under-appreciated is that "the lost Jedi" are not who you think they are. The lost Jedi are not Masters Vrook, Zez-Kai Ell, Kavar and Vash, the old leadership of the collapsing order that splintered during the Mandalorian wars, and that failed to understand the teachings of Kreia.
Along the journey to find these old Jedi, the Exile meets people scarred by the wars, fighting as best they can to survive in a galaxy decaying into chaos: Mira, Atton, Bao-Dur, Brianna, and Mical, all of whom the Exile can instruct in the ways of the Force. And Kreia reveals at the end of the game:
They were the lost Jedi, you know. The true Jedi, upon which the future will be built. They simply needed a leader, and a teacher.
The light side ending of KotOR II captures it all: the symbolic passing of the torch from Kreia to her greatest pupil, the Jedi who learned to survive without the Force, and atoned for the horrific violence of the Mandalorian wars, and planted the seeds that will eventually heal the galaxy.
Viewed this way, the ending is an optimistic, if bittersweet, story of renewal. From the bleak ruins of a war-torn galaxy, something new can come, once the old order has finally collapsed. Kreia's death at Malachor ("Rest now, Kreia. Your time in this place is over.") symbolizes the end of one era and the birth of another. It is fundamentally a story about taking responsibility for the past and creating "something that will carry your people's memory into the future," as Kreia tells Mandalore. It is the cyclical cosmic epic of birth, growth, decay, death, and rebirth.

Please click here for kosher food options.
Some Rabbinical authorities hold that you must keep 2 days of Shabbos in Hawaii (Thursday night - Saturday night) as the exact location of the Halachic international dateline is a matter of debate. Be sure to discuss this with your local orthodox Rabbi before traveling to Hawaii. If you will keep 2 days remember to discuss all potential ramifications regarding candle-lighting, warming up food, etc.
The local communities on each Island keep Shabbos from Friday night to Saturday night.
There is no daily Minyan on the Big Island, we only have once in a while when we have a busy tourist season, for a Yartzeit or Shiva L"A.
On Shabbat we have Davening together every Friday night and Shabbat morning but we don't always get a Minyan, please let us know when you plan on coming.
You can join communal meals on Holidays, Friday night and Shabbat day. Reservations should be made beforehand.

Since its launch last year just in time for the holiday shopping season, Sony's PlayStation 5 remains in short supply globally. In fact, scalpers are apparently making a killing with day-one bundles on the resale market. Despite bumping up production, the overwhelming demand for the game system is still selling out retailer inventories. If you are one many desperate enough for, SUP3R5 might have something even more awesome albeit in extremely limited quantities.
Sony normally manufactures special versions either to commemorate certain milestones or as a tie-in with a AAA game release. So far, there PS4 enjoyed several unique limited-edition units, but the PS5 has yet to officially get one. Among the items, the PlayStation 4 20th Anniversary Edition stood out the most as it honors the first-generation model in a unique matte gray colorway.
This time, SUP3R5 is paying tribute to the second-generation entry with this exclusive system. The attention to detail is remarkable as the they carefully recreate the look of the PS2. From what we can see, even the controller gets the same treatment.
From the original two-tone colorway of the PS5, SUP3R5 gives it's a stealthy black coat. We like how the PlayStation emblem inserts are painted to match the original red, yellow, green, and blue scheme. You can spot this on the console and on the DualSense as well.
SUP3R5 is only making 304 of these and will be available in the standard or digital-only configuration. Meanwhile, they will also be selling 500 examples of the retro-inspired DualSense controller. We are eager to see how Sony approaches limited-Edition PS5 units in the future. Perhaps the removable faceplates are a hint of upcoming customization options.Order yours now: here

Beauty & Hairstyle, Hair extensions
6 Simple Ways To Get Beach Waves
If you don't have ideas for summer hairstyles, try "beachy waves" to have the best moment on the beach! There's no denying the fact that this effortless hairstyle is good for all seasons because it's chic, pretty, and totally easy to create at home–no trip to a hairstylist necessary.
As you know, when it comes to creating your beach waves, there isn't just one right way to get to styling. We can say that there are a variety of ways to get beachy waves, and we're here to give you all the options so you can choose the best (and easiest) way for your hair. One thing you have to do is to continue reading below for six simple methods to get beach waves at home!
1. Using a curling wand
Firstly, you have to prep your strands with a heat-protectant spray because this tutorial requires using a curling wand. This trick will help your curls hold longer.
The second, brush all your hair and start curling your hair in the back and work your way forward. One thing you have to remember is to wrap a one-inch section of hair around the wand away from your face and leave the ends out to curl the hair.
Next, when you're finished curling your whole head, find about five pieces of hair that need touch-ups and re-curl them-but this time, wrap the strands in the opposite direction (toward your face) to alternate the curl pattern. Finally, finish with a blast of sea-salt spray and a texturizing spray to add some beachy texture.
2. Using a flat iron
If you don't have a curling wand, you can actually get excellent results with a hair straightener. First of all, you should start with a few generous sprays of heat protectant and then roughly straighten your hair.
You should know that the point here is to just make your hair a bit easier to work with for when you start curling, so don't worry about getting it perfectly sleek and straight.
Then, grab your hair from the root, flip your hair straightener away from your face, and gently glide all the way down the strand. Afterward, you'll have a decently bouncy curl. Besides, you can break apart with your fingers until you've got a loose beach wave.
3. Overnight braid
This is one of the simplest ways to get beach waves because you don't have to consumes much time to get a new look in the morning. Moreover, this method doesn't do harm for hair because we don't need the heat to curl hair. In the evening, after washing hair, you can blow-drying until it's about 90 percent dry. However, if you're prone to frizz and flyaways, a hairdryer will help you smooth things out a bit.
In the next step, flip your hair upside down, gather it at your crown, and create a basic three-strand ponytail braid. Afterward, when you flip your hair back over, the braid might look a little droopy in the back, but it's all a part of the process.
In the end, you just go to sleep, and when you wake up, gently unravel your braid, shake out your waves, and blast them with texturizing spray to keep them intact all day.
4. Sea salt spray
If you want to find a quick way to get beach waves, a texture spray may be just the answer. If you have long hair, you can create two or three buns, or braid your hair. Due to being made with sea salt, these texturizing sprays bring the ocean water to you–literally.
In the next step, you can make your hair wet and just spray from roots to ends and let it work its magic. On the other hand, you can spray it on dry hair to refresh and add an extra dose of texture.
5. Hairdryer with headband
We can say that this is the beauty hack that doesn't require spray or curling wand,… Just only a hairdryer and a cotton headband, you can get the marvelous hair right now.
Firstly, you can twist and wrap your hair around the base of the band to achieve that undone, straight-off-the-sand look.
Secondly, spray a little of the water into your hair. Then use your hairdryer until the hair is dry. Finally, simply take out your headband, tousle your hair with your fingers, and you get a beautiful look.
6. Using loose wavy hair extensions
If your hair is short or damaged, you can use clips in hair or other hair extensions such as weave hair, tape hair, lace closure, lace frontal, wig,… with the wavy texture.
However, nowadays, many companies provide hair extensions with bad quality. If you buy hair extensions that are made of synthetic, you can't style your hair with hot treatment. Therefore choosing a reputable hair extensions company to limit the risks of damaging your real hair is not an easy problem. And MACSARA is exactly a potential supplier of hair extensions that customers can trust.
7. How to protect hair from heat styling?
Unfortunately, using heat on your hair to get beach waves will do harm to your hair. Because blow-drying, flat ironing and curling can all wreak havoc on your hair unless you take some steps to do it right. You should know that by heat styling your hair correctly and taking some additional steps to keep your hair healthy, you can achieve the style you want with minimal damage to your hair.
First of all, you have to choose high-quality straightening or curling iron. You should select a higher-quality straightening or curling iron made from one of the following materials such as Ceramic, Tourmaline, and Titanium.
The second, selecting the right size iron for your hair to help minimize damage is one of the most important methods.
The third, apply a heat protection product prior to using heat tools because it can lock in moisture and insulate your hair from heat.
Moreover, adjusting the temperature based on the thickness of your hair can avoid damaging hair. You should choose an iron that has digital temperature control, as opposed to just low, medium, and high settings.
Besides, heating your hair in small sections to minimize damage is one of the things you should remember. Also, don't leave a heat tool against your hair for longer than 3-5 seconds.
Finally, remember to deep condition your hair once a week.
Taking pride in being one of the most prestigious companies in exporting hair extensions in Vietnam, we can supply for you the best products. No matter how the quality and quantity customers want are, MACSARA can also make you satisfied.
We also offer virgin hair which has never experienced any hair processing before. Besides, our products are cheap and easy to use. There is a lot of hair extensions with various textures, colors, and lengths for you to choose from.

4 Signs it's Time to Replace your Boiler
Is it time to replace your new boiler? Winnipeg Supply Service Experts is here with a couple signs to look for when choosing whether it's time to purchase a new boiler.
If your condensing boiler receives annual maintenance, you can expect it to operate about 15 years or so. Cast iron boilers can last a lot longer, even up to 50 years with proper maintenance. If your condensing boiler is close to 15 years or your cast iron boiler is almost 50 years, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
If your energy bills are increasing or you're having to call an expert about your boiler more repeatedly, it could be because it's time to invest in a new, more efficient boiler.
If you discover yellow flames on the gas burners and black soot on oil burners it could be a sign that the fuel is not burning properly and could be producing carbon monoxide. If you notice these issues or have any concerns surrounding carbon monoxide in your home, you should call Winnipeg Supply or your gas company as soon as possible.
If some of the sections in your home are too cool or too warm and you can't seem to control them correctly or get them comfortable, it could be that your boiler is not effective anymore and you could need to look into upgrade choices.
Think it's time to replace your boiler? Give Winnipeg Supply Service Experts a call and we'll come out and give you a free in-home estimate!

Series on Namadwaar E-Satsang YouTube Channel
'Madhuram Aho Madhuram' is a unique YouTube series based on the divine Madhurageetham compositions of HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji. In this series, Sri Swamiji's disciple Sri Ramanujamji delves into the heart of Sri Swamiji to bring out the sweet, deep, and beautiful meanings of his Madhurageetham compositions.

This 'Madhuram Aho Madhuram' series shows the depth and sweetness of various Madhurageethams, of which a very treasured one is "Kuppayil Vizhundha Oru Malar."
Purandara Dasa has given us a day planner on how to lead our lives with Bhagavan Nama in his 'narajanma bandAgE' kirtan. During the the Covid pandemic in 2020, Sri Ramanujamji's daily discourses nourished the days with the Master's Divine words strung into beautiful, colorful, fragrant garlands of Intelligent Living, Mahamantra series, Kalidharma Undhiyar, Vibeeshana Sharanagathi, Gajendra Moksham, Maduram Aho Madhuram and much more. And thanks to these being available on YouTube, devotees can listen and cherish these for years to come.
One may try to sing the divyavAni of our beloved Master knowing neither it's origin nor meaning nor the bhava or rasa behind it. Still it feels sweet and divine. Yet, when we try to understand the true intent and deep rasa behind the seemingly simple words, it gives immense joy while rendering the kirtans. Madhuram Aho Madhura series enables us exactly this.
Growing up in India, words that we commonly hear from elders are punniyam, karma, vidhi and so on. Temple visits are often made only to merely fulfill materialistic desires or to perform rituals. Words like "Guru" or "Guru's krupA" are indeed rare to hear. The exposition of this Madhurageetham – Kuppaiyil Vizhundha Oru Malar – shows how Sri Swamiji brushed aside all these three and showed that only Guru's grace alone is needed. Sri Ramanujamji emphasizes on the word 'aruLE' (nothing but only grace).
In the exposition of this Madhurageetham Sri Ramanujamji beautifully compares and draws a connection showing the story of AnanthAzhwar and how Guru's Grace can transform any individual soul and make one realize the purpose of this birth. Sri Ramanujacharya hearing Nammazhwar's pasuram "sindhu pU magizh thiruvEnkatam" realised his Guru's bhava and how he yearned for every flower that bloomed in Tirumala Hills to adorn the Lotus Feet of Lord Srinivasa. Ramanujacharya with tears in his eyes eagerly looked for the earnest disciple who would render this service. AnanthAzhwar deemed this to be his highest purpose, and dedicated his entire life towards fulfilling his Master's wish.
The shedding purpose of any flower is to attain Lord's Lotus Feet. The Guru is the one who can bridge this gap and He is the one who can help the flower attain its destiny.
The exposition of this Madhurageetham made us understand how Sri Swamiji in this kirtan conveys that the Guru's grace (Guru aruL) does not mind going even to a filthy garbage (samsArA) and pick a flower (us) that is lying there. A passer-by can only pity looking at the flower but can never save it. This is something we all can relate to, because, when we are struggling, caught in this mundane world we tend to lament to our friends or relatives and in turn all they can do is to show only pity on us. Whereas it is the Guru's Grace alone which can truly elevate us from this ocean of samsArA.
This reminds me of an incident that happened during one of Sri Swamiji's annual Kalpatharu Day (Jan 1) Mass Prayers.
There was a devotee who had shared her Nama Anubhava with the local coordinators in the area.
She had told them, "My husband and I are old, we earn our daily wages from working in a construction site. We only have each other and if we don't work we won't have food. Few months back my husband fell down during his construction work and had a spine fracture. The hospital needed money which we didn't have. I had heard Sri Swamiji say, "no money or effort is needed, just chant and your wish will come true." So I chanted the Mahamantra without even having full faith. I have nothing to lose so I chanted. Within a few days a person came and gave Rs. 50000/- We never knew they owed us this money and we were pleasantly shocked." Hearing her experience, the coordinators were delighted and encouraged her to share her Nama Anubhava.
The next day many well educated people were surrounding Sri Swamiji to have darshan of him. Sri Swamiji looked at this old lady who was standing far away from all these people and called her to come near him. Everybody was looking at her. She was not sure if Sri Swamiji was calling her. Sri Swamiji asked, "Oh, you live here nearby? " and the old lady replied, "Yes, there is a slum nearby and that is where I live." Sri Swamiji asked, "Shall we go there?" Before they all realized Sri Swamiji started walking towards the slum. Nobody even dared to keep their feet in that area but Sri Swamiji didn't mind that at all and He went straight to her hut. Her husband was there. There was a Mahamantra sticker that she got from the mass prayer. Sri Swamiji chanted Nama for a few minutes and the old lady also chanted with him. She was awestruck and couldn't believe this was real.
The next day when she again met with the coordinators during the mass prayer she said, "I am not going to share the story which I told you yesterday but instead I am going to share something very unique and divine." She started off by saying, "Money may come and go but Bhagavan Nama brought Sri Swamiji himself to my home. Will this even happen? I was scared and hesitant to go near him, there were many well-educated people around him, in spite of all of them being around, he looked at me, he called and talked to me and above all, he himself came to my home. So what wouldn't this Nama do?" That was her statement!
The old lady was filled with such overwhelming gratitude seeing this loving gesture of Sri Swamiji. Here, it was the wind – the Guru's Grace which elevated the flower – the old lady.
After doing such a great deed, neither did the wind wait for the flower to show its gratitude nor showed the slightest acknowledgment, personifying absolute humility.
When I look at the lyrics of this Madhurageetham we may be able to initially comprehend only the literal meaning, but in the series when the upamanam (simile) process and the upameyam (to which it is compared to) is hidden, we are able to see who Sri Swamiji refers to when he mentions the flower in this kirtan. It is us!
As Sri Swamiji sometimes says, even while doing small household chores we would like to claim the name for it. The 'I' plays in my mind when we cook or care for our families, etc. but does it stop there? No, the 'I' plays even to the extent during chanting Bhagavan Nama or doing kainkaryA (service).
Sri Swamiji in his Aksharamanamalai series of lectures quotes this verse of Sri Ramana Maharishi,
Jnamaliyir kedaa naan yendru urudhi yaay
nAdi nin uruvE Arunachala
In this verse, "Jnamali" refers to a dog. Sri Ramana Bhagavan here says, "The nature of the dog is to shower its owner with love, affection, and gratitude. Even the dog shows its gratitude to the owner even though the owner hardly has time for his dog. However, here I am, being a human, I have forgotten my Lord, the One who resides in me – my antaryAmi! I am worse than a dog!"
Out of compassion, Mahans do such a great deed to each and every soul yet they remain totally unassuming and calm like clear water in the pond. Bestowed with this priceless gift, how shall we show our gratitude?
We can be grateful only by constantly listening to His words, not just once, but again and again (muhur muhuhu), thus gearing our lives towards the final destiny – like how rivers flow without a break towards the ocean.
These wonderful words of wisdom of Sri Swamiji's, abundant they are, yet the most precious of gems – 'vAri iraithAlum rathinam rathinamE'!
Sincere prayers at the Lotus Feet of Our Guru Maharaj that we constantly listen to them and enrich our lives through this 'Shravanam and Mananam'.

The 2020 Ulster Grand Prix is at a 'critical juncture' over a decision whether to run the event or not after small crowds in 2019 created a funding shortfall.
Dubbed the 'World's Fastest Road Race' after Peter Hickman set a new lap record speed of 136.415mph at the Dundrod circuit, it was nonetheless achieved against the backdrop of thin crowds after severe weather warnings for Saturday's main race day – it says – prompted fans to stay home.
Resulting in 'perhaps the smallest crowd the event has ever witnessed', the 'huge loss of income' has resulted in a financial crisis that could see the 2020 Ulster Grand Prix cancelled altogether to recover costs.
"Over the past few months the Club has been trying to manage this difficult situation," read a post on its Facebook page. "A critical juncture has now been reached and a decision must be made as to whether or not the race will take place in 2020.
"Professional advice has been sought and an urgent review is being carried out in respect of the viability of the event for 2020, together with the options available for dealing with the existing financial liabilities. Race organisers will consider the outcome of this review and a decision will be taken in the coming weeks as to the future of the Club and the Ulster Grand Prix.
"The Ulster Grand Prix celebrated its 97th birthday in 2019." Robert Graham, Chairman of the Dundrod ad District Motorcycle Club, said.
"The race organisers have met with local MP, Jeffrey Donaldson, alongside representatives of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council as we continue to seek a solution to the financial problems that would enable Northern Ireland's most prestigious and historic motorcycle race to continue towards its 100th anniversary."
"It is clear though, that in the absence of significant financial support, the Ulster Grand Prix is in real and imminent danger of disappearing from the road racing calendar, an outcome that would be a major blow for motorcycle sport in Northern Ireland."
The statement from the Dundrod District Motorcycle Club comes after a damning revelation that a £255,000 investment from the government to improve safety standards and facilities was weighted more heavily in the latter. The BBC report alleged that only £25,000 of the money was spent on safety bales, with the rest going a new club house and facilities, such as a toilet block and showers.

Thursday afternoon, CJ Hawkins announced via his Twitter that he will be stepping away from his commitment to the Florida Gators. Instead, he'll be pursuing an opportunity with the Stanford Cardinals. A member of the class of 2022, Hawkins is a three-star recruit who had agreed to play in Gainesville early in the recruiting cycle but ultimately was persuaded to flip.
"After a long and personal search, I have decided to step away from my pledge to my childhood dream school University of Florida," wrote Hawkins in his statement. "Making a decision has undoubtedly been extremely difficult given the university's track record on the gridiron and in the classroom. With that said, I'd be ignoring my heart if I did not embark on this life altering opportunity."
"At this time, and with great excitement, I would like to announce my intention of committing with Coach David shower and signing with the Stanford University Football program this December."
Hawkins is a totally blank slate in ways both good and bad. He has only one season of football under his belt and his sports background is rooted in basketball. That being the case, his 6-foot-7-inch frame is cut, but not bulky enough to play the tight end position at the college level yet.
He's a functional athlete, but his blocking technique, routes, footwork, and hands all needed an overhaul to be an SEC-level player. On the flip side of that coin, he hasn't had time to learn bad habits and he has the physical foundation to become a vicious blocker and a matchup nightmare.
Here's the full-season receiving highlights from Gators commit TE CJ Hawkins (@IHOOPCJ), via @Hudl pic.twitter.com/SyNVOTCgmy
— Jay Markle ? (@thebettermarkle) May 20, 2021
The idea of building him from the ground up was intriguing enough to draw offers from a whole bevy of SEC, Pac-12, and Big Ten teams. However, the fundamentals come first and they're nearly nonexistent in his game.
There was never much of a chance that Hawkins would find the field early in his college career, a fact he likely understood when he committed to UF. It's a good bet he saw the opportunity to get playing time sooner with the Cardinals and decided it was best for him and his career.
We wish Hawkins all the best in his career with Stanford, but this is a disappointing loss despite the fact that he was a long term project.
Tight ends coach Tim Brewster has a great reputation but his inability to parlay the development and eventual record-setting draft position of Kyle Pitts into a powerful recruiting tool is both frustrating and befuddling. Hawkins' departure leaves the Gators without a tight end in the class of '22.
The pickings are slim to add a replacement, as most SEC-level players in the class are spoken for and the top tight ends have either ignored Florida's advances or outright stated disinterest in playing in Gainesville.

No. 9 Texas baseball opens season with 8-3 loss to No. 7 Mississippi State
ARLINGTON, Texas — Six different pitchers took the mound for Texas, but none had an answer for Mississippi State's offense, as the No. 9 Longhorns fell to the No. 7 Bulldogs, 8-3, in the State Farm College Baseball Showdown on Saturday at Globe Life Field.
Entering the matchup, the season opener for each team, the storyline to watch surrounded the pitching duel between UT's Ty Madden and Mississippi State's Christian MacLeod. Each team's ace is a junior and a 2021 Major League Baseball draft candidate and was named Thursday to USA Baseball's Preseason Golden Spikes Award Watch List. The award is given annually by the MLB Players Association to the top amateur player in the country.
After Madden opened the game with a scoreless inning of work, the Bulldog offense soon began to click, putting two runs on the board behind back-to-back singles that scored runners from second. With MacLeod holding the Horns to a mere two hits over the first four innings, Mississippi State again put up a two-run inning in the top of the fourth. After Madden (0-1) struck out Logan Tanner to begin the inning, Luke Hancock, who had scored the Bulldogs' first run of the ballgame, sent a 1-0 pitch well over the right field wall to make the score 3-0. From that point on, Madden, looking a bit rattled, had trouble finding the strike zone and walked the next two batters, leading to another run.
That spelled the end of Madden's day on the mound, as head coach David Pierce called righty Pete Hansen in from the bullpen to pitch the fifth. Hansen did not fare much better than his predecessor, facing just seven batters, allowing three hits and an earned run.
"He probably tried to do too much," Pierce said of Madden. "I know he's always going to be ready to go and be prepared. But if he had established his slider it would have made a difference. We didn't want to keep pushing that after the fourth and push his pitch count up. Later in the year, maybe he pitches through that and we utilize the bullpen a little different as well. We are still working through how to utilize some of these guys and we'll be a work in progress in the pen."
The fifth was a bright spot for the Horns, as MacLeod (1-0) was forced out of the game before he could even get an out. With the Longhorns trailing, 5-0, junior college transfer designated hitter Ivan Melendez swatting a solo homer past the left field wall to begin the inning. Third baseman Cam Williams followed that up one pitch later with a double into the cavernous center field gap. Two more singles followed and soon righty Landon Sims was on the hill for Mississippi State. But as quickly as the Longhorns had gotten hot earlier in the inning, their offense went cold with (reliever Landon) Sims on the mound. The next three batters struck out swinging as the bases were left loaded.
Mississippi State tacked on a run in the sixth before adding two in the eighth, all the while limiting Texas to just six hits over the first eight innings.
Facing an 8-1 deficit, the Horns put four runners on base in the ninth inning and scored twice, but right fielder Austin Todd popped up with runners on first and second and two outs, ending the game.
"They were better than us today and Ty (Madden) wasn't sharp," Pierce said. "I think they did a nice job eliminating his slider. I think in the fifth, when we had bases loaded and nobody out, Sims came in and did a nice job."
There is little time to dwell on the loss, as Texas gets another crack at a top-10 team tomorrow, facing No. 8 Arkansas at 7 p.m.
"I'm really proud of the way we finished out in the back end, still having quality at-bats," Pierce said. "Game One is over and we'll move on to the next one."

Various Artists
Big Bonky Tones
Tone Bonk
Toronto, ON
RIYL: radical covers; CanCon nostalgia; watching MuchMusic when they used to play videos
To sarcastically celebrate the 25th anniversary of MuchMusic's best-selling Big Shiny Tunes compilation, Tone Bonk Records add fresh flavours to the pop hits forced down our throats. Throughout 26 songs spanning selections from the first five BST comps, members of Toronto's backing band and their extended musical family travel back to the era when Rick the Temp reigned supreme.
Though the songs chosen by each artist are largely approached from a place of sincerity, it's easy to hear just how much fun was had. Vibrant Matter rewires the Chemical Brothers' "Block Rockin' Beats" into pointillist glitch, while Ko T.C. transforms Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" into pitch-shifted hyperpop. Omeed Goodarzi's cover of Rob Zombie's "Dragula" is freak-folk at its wooziest, as multiple voices collide like a five-Munster pile-up. Bram Gielen's take on Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" is the compilation's joyful peak, capturing the communal spirit of its original video with a gentle chorus of voices drifting through mellow waves of synthesized boogie funk.
Elsewhere, the most impressive moments on Big Bonky Tones transcend ironic appreciation to create something entirely new. Thom Gill's "Sour Girl" turns Stone Temple Pilots' alt-rock weeper into lush electronic pop. Robin Gill renders "My Hero" into something much more closely resembling her band Bernice than the Foo Fighters' bro-rock anthem. Ben Gunning reboots Big Wreck with a sputtering videogame jazz fusion approach to "That Song." Yet nothing here is as glorious as Christine Bougie's "Tahitian Moon" guitar instrumental—it might be the first time the word "tasteful" has been used in connection to Porno For Pyros.

Old Waialae Bowl building to be demolished to make way for new complex
KAHALA, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Another Kamehameha Schools property in Kahala is set for demolition starting next month.
Nine years after Waialae Bowl shut down, the 59-year-old building next to Kahala Mall will be razed to make way for a new complex.
The McDonald's corporation is leading the development. The fast-food restaurant is expanding and will be joined by 10 other eateries and shops.
Stephany Sofos, a real estate consultant, calls it a welcome addition.
"Kahala really needs more restaurants," she said. "There's not enough interesting places to go, and after a while, you've been two or three times, you don't want to go out. You start to venture out to other places."
The Kahala McDonald's will close on Friday.
The redevelopment is expected to be finished by late September.

There's no hiding Man United fans' love and admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo. He has without a shadow of doubt been Man United's best right midfielder since the days of David Beckham, and they have both become iconic number 7s, alongside, of course, George Best.
But since Cristiano Ronaldo left Man United ten years ago, the five players to fill the number seven shirt have scored just 15 Premier League goals between them.
Those five consist of: Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia, Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay and at present Alexis Sanchez.
Even more staggering, Ronaldo has scored 330 goals in the same period.
The vast majority of these goals came for Real Madrid, where the Portuguese attacker bagged an incredible 311 goals in just 292 appearances. It's safe to say Real Madrid struggled in their first season without their superstar, failing to challenge for La Liga and not being able to retain the Champions League.
"Cristiano Ronaldo Quotes" (Public Domain) by Awaken The Greatness Within
La Liga betting suggests this may not be the case next season. Real Madrid have splashed the cash already this summer, with their most impressive signing being Eden Hazard from Chelsea in a deal worth more than £100m.
The most expensive of the five signings since Ronaldo was Angel Di Maria, who was brought in for no less than £57 million. However, working under Louis van Gaal did not work out, with the free-flowing winger being limited to game time and restricted on the pitch. The former Real Madrid player was shipped out after just one season with Man United, before going on to sign for PSG.
The next winger to pull on the number seven jersey was Memphis Depay, but his attitude and ability to adapt to the Premier League made his time at Man United a failed one to say the least. The Dutchman featured 33 times for Man United, contributing two goals before being sold to Lyon, where, he has got his career back on track, scoring 34 goals in 88 appearances.
The latest player to wear (for now, at least) the famous number seven shirt is Alexis Sanchez, who was brought in from Arsenal seeing Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way. The Chilean striker is rumoured to be on almost £500,000 a week, which is frightening considering his poor record the Red Devils.
The 30-year-old has scored just three goals in 32 appearances for Manchester United (20% of the 15 goals contributed since Ronaldo's departure).
It appears as though Sanchez's time is up at Old Trafford, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to give young talent a chance, reflected in his sole summer signing to date, Daniel James from Swansea.
To get Sanchez off the wage bill will be huge for the club and Ole and co will be hoping he lights up the Copa America for Chile, in order to help push through a move away from the club this summer.
Probably the most memorable moment in a number seven shirt since Ronaldo's departure has to come from Michael Owen. Back in 2009, United were drawing 2-2 with arch-rivals Man City, and up steps former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker, Michael Owen, to score a famous winner in the 96th minute at Old Trafford.
However glorious that moment was for Man United and their fans, they would have expected plenty more of those types of occasions from their number sevens over the years. It will be interesting to see if the next player can finally lift the curse and make themselves a United legend.


text: klassy Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't really talk about this, so this is pretty hard for me. I'm 36 years old and have pretty well dealt with everything but sometimes just want to talk to someone. I was molested when I was about 8 years old by a neighbor, a female teenager. Started slowly then escalated over a couple of years. I've always known what happened and have firm memories of the time but never told anyone. And to this day I never plan on telling anyone in my family - I don't want them to feel any guilt. The older I get the more I realize that there are some issues that I haven't worked out and I think (hope) talking about it here may help with some of that. Link to post

Nottinghamshire have awarded a testimonial year for the 2019 season to Stuart Broad in recognition of his decade-long commitment to Notts and England.
Broad, who has amassed 433 Test wickets, will host a series of events throughout the year and will make a donation to charitable causes including those fighting Motor Neurone Disease, and the Trent Bridge Community Trust.
Having joined Nottinghamshire from Leicestershire ahead of the 2008 season, Broad has left an indelible mark at Trent Bridge where he took 8-15 in the 2015 Ashes Test and enjoyed a Test hat-trick against India in 2011.
"I've enjoyed the support of the Nottinghamshire members and the Trent Bridge crowd over the past ten seasons and I hope to welcome a fair few to my testimonial year events," said Broad, who's testimonial year committee will be chaired by former Nottinghamshire off-spinner Stephen Randall.
"I've always enjoyed giving my full commitment when in an England or Nottinghamshire shirt and it's an honour to have been recognised in this manner.
"2019 is going to be an exciting year; a home Ashes series, the Cricket World Cup and a strong Nottinghamshire squad that has the ability to challenge for trophies in all three formats.
"I'm already looking forward to it, as there's still so much I want to achieve in the game and being able to support numerous charities during my benefit year will make it extra special."
Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell has praised Broad's contribution to the game, which shows no sign of abating.
"We knew when we signed Stuart that there was every chance that he would play a lot of international cricket and it's a credit to his talent and work ethic that he got to the top so quickly and has managed to stay there for so long," he said.
"He has made important contributions on the field for Notts, most memorably in the Lord's finals against Glamorgan in 2013 and Surrey in 2017, but he's also been a great ambassador for Trent Bridge.
"We look forward to supporting his events and will continue to welcome him into the dressing room and the Nottinghamshire team whenever he's made available to us."

Best gift ever: Son uses Photoshop to "fix" a photo his dad hates, makes it even worse
Printed and framed photos are among the best Christmas gifts in my book. For this holiday season, motivational speaker Kyle Scheele made one such gift for his dad, but with a twist. He took a family portrait his dad hates, used his Photoshop skills to "fix" it, and the result made his parents laugh to tears.
YouTuber pranks her followers with "photos from Bali" taken at her local IKEA
That social media is full of fakery is old news. But what fascinates me is just how easy it is to fake your life on Instagram. YouTuber Natalia Taylor recently decided to test it out herself. She "traveled" to the nearest IKEA store and took some photos, even purposely leaving some IKEA price tags in them. She shared them on Instagram, and she managed to prank her followers to believe that she was on a vacation in Bali. Natalia shares more details in her recent video, and it's a useful reminder that social media isn't real.
3 tips to fit photography into a family vacation
As a landscape photographer, I travel a fair amount. As a human being, I travel quite a bit. Travel is a passion in my family. Whenever we get the opportunity, we love to visit new places or revisit old ones. Family vacations aren't photo trips though. Sure, photos are taken – lots of them. However, these photos are mainly to capture the memories of our travels. And rightfully so. Family trips are first and foremost to spend time together, relax, and experience new places together.
I have to keep my inner photographer in check. Many times we are visiting beautiful places with iconic shots.
Over many trips and travels, I've found a pretty good balance that allows me to capture photos without annoying the heck out of the non-photographers in my family (which is pretty much everyone else!).
Tourists waste too much time trying to get the perfect holiday snap. Try these tips and get back to enjoying your break.
I do love these 'research findings' that drop into my inbox periodically. I get all sorts, from 'Brits value their digital photos more than their cars' to 'Customers more likely to have nude pictures printed on canvas rather than cars.' (The syntax is dreadful there. They didn't mean that canvas was a more likely medium for a nude print than a car; rather that people were more inclined to print nudes as opposed to photos of cars.) But the latest one suggests that tourists are getting frustrated trying to take photos of tourist hotspots because of tourist overcrowding. When you've recovered from the irony overload there, I'll continue.
Is Travel Photography the latest victim in the Photoshop manipulation saga?
We've covered the "evils of Photoshop" as it pertains to human subjects a number of times, but the use of some photography and Photoshop techniques in travel photography are starting to cause concerns to grow that tourists will become disappointed upon arriving at their destination.
Social Media's constant pressure for "Shares" and "Likes" is only fuelling this trend towards making destinations appear more attractive by intentionally warping our vision of the world.

Monopoly Man photobombs Equifax Senate hearing to protest proposed forced arbitration changes
Thursday, October 05, 2017
Everyone knows the Monopoly Man, even if we don't know his name. His classy duds, compete with top hat, and bushy mustache make him immediately recognizable.
For many of us, he and his board game were our introduction to high finance.
Now, however, he's branched out. He made a real-life appearance this week at a Congressional hearing.
Equifax visual protest: OK, it was someone dressed up like Rich Uncle Pennybags, which is the Monopoly Man's name.
And the impersonator stole the show from former Equifax CEO Richard Smith, who continued to make the Washington, D.C, rounds to take heat for the credit reporting bureau's data hack.
The fictional character photobombed Smith's Oct. 4 testimony before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Pennybags' antics, from exaggerated shocked expressions to stroking of the fake handlebar 'stache to periodically peering through a monocle, came when Smith did, or more so when he didn't, answer Senators' questions.
It was just what a pair of consumer rights and financial reform advocacy groups wanted.
Americans for Financial Reform and Public Citizen sent the Monopoly-styled imitator to the Senate twice this week to protest forced arbitration clauses. These provisions are commonly used in the financial industry and limit consumers' ability to take disputes to court.
Consumer advocacy groups are fighting Republican efforts to weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule adopted this year that weakens a company's ability to make arbitration mandatory.
Doubling down on forced arbitration: First, on Tuesday, Oct. 3, the faux wealthy relative uncle delivered Monopoly-inspired "Get out of jail" cards to all 100 Senate offices.
That's how consumer advocacy groups view efforts that restrict customers' options in holding banks and financial firms accountable.
Then on Wednesday, the Monopoly Man, who actually was portrayed by a woman, sat through Smith's Senate testimony and provided nonverbal background commentary.
Smith's Senate appearance basically echoed an earlier one before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He apologized for the company's security failure that allowed 145 million customer accounts to be hacked by identity thieves.
The Monopoly-inspired activism at the Upper Chamber's hearing, however, was a reminder that in its immediate response to the cyber breach, Equifax offered affected individuals the option to enroll in the company's free credit file monitoring and identity theft protection program, but only if they waived the right to take future legal action against the company.
After a public outcry, Equifax walked back its arbitration-only requirement.
Comical guise for serious message: Amanda Werner, a campaign manager for Americans for Financial Reform and Public Citizen, told The Washington Post that based on her viewing of "a lot of these hearings" she was able to determine which seat behind the witness table would be most visible.
"Once I got it, I went full in and just did as many visual gags as I could," Werner said.
It's not clear how many Senators noticed Werner or will take her groups' arguments into account when considering any changes to the current financial arbitration rules.
But for a while on Wednesday, some much-needed levity made an all-too-infrequent appearance on Capitol Hill.

Created by Stephen J. Cannell
"I reckon a diamond is just a hunk of coal that stuck to the job."
Did someone say Texas?
Just in case anyone missed the point, TV's cornpone-spouting J.J. (JEROME JEREMIAH) STARBUCK (played by Dale Robertson) wears ten-gallon hats, cowboy boots and fancy western shirts, drives a flashy limo with steer horns on the hood and a horn that plays "The Eyes of Texas," and spouts a steady stream of folksy homilies.
Good thing he's loaded or someone might point out what a dang annoying fool he is.
Although maybe we should cut him a little slack. He was just a workaholic businessman turned Texas billionaire jackass who made his fortune in oil and a slew of slick investments, when his wife and son were killed when their plane. That was the turning point for J.J.–after that, he handed over the reins to his company to his second-in-command, Charlie Bullets, and hit the road in his 1961 Lincoln Convertible, figuring it was his duty to help out "good folks" in trouble using his considerable influence and contacts.
About halfway through its first (and only) season, Robertson broke his leg, and they wrote it into the show, bringing on the character of E.L. "Tenspeed" Turner, the fast-talking black con artist refugee from an earlier Cannell show, Tenspeed and Brownshoe, to lend ol' J.J. a hand and do the driving. The clash between straight shooter J.J. and Tenspeed, who never met a corner he didn't want to cut, should have been a hoot.
But it didn't work. The show was scrapped after one season.

I am once again at a loss of stuff to talk about. Yesterday came and went without me even noticing it. I've been busy with my e-commerce assignment all week. That is now done, but I've got my operating system assignment to work on now. Its due tuesday, so I'm going to be busy the next few days.
Other than that all I've got to say is HUET! Cristobal Huet has been INCREDIBLE in net for the Habs recently. First taking over for Theodore because he was sucking horribly, and now because Theodore fell down the stairs and fractured his heel. Thank GOD Gainey now has a legitimate excuse to play Huet fulltime. If Theo didn't hurt himself he'd be playing, and losing, and the Habs would never have made the playoffs this year. Now with Huet in net we've finally got a shot… just as long as everything keeps clicking like it has been since the Olympic break.
