Kids say the darndest things!
First and foremost - Avery! The twins are very .... complimentary. So when you get them from their room in the morning they'll say, example: Hi Mom, I like your jammies! Or if we're sitting on the couch in the evening and one of them is sitting in our lap, they'll be like I like your glasses mom, I'll say thanks Addie (example). She'll go on to say, I like your eyes, mom. Thanks Addie. I like your shirt, mom. Thanks Addie. I'll say to her, you're very pretty Addie., to which she'll reply ... thanks Mom, I AM pretty. Heeheee!! The other night, Avery was on Sam's lap doing the same thing and she was rubbing Sam's chest - he had a button up shirt on and it wasn't buttoned all the way - and Avery says "I like your feathers, dad!" It was more like "I wike your feathers, daddy!!" How cute is that, she thinks his chest hair is feathers!!??
She comes down from her nap today with this little person in her hand and brings it to Nana and says "this is you, Nana!" (Mind you - it's the "Grandpa" Little People, lol) and Nan asks her if it's because of the gray hair and Addie says "Yes, and the glasses!!!"
Zach's had a couple of funnies lately too - he and I were walking through the mall today and he said something and I laughed and he said was that funny or was it hysterical? He also says "Wallllll-E" just like the movie Wall-E - and that makes me laugh so hard, he totally changes his voice and he loves to play the Wall-E games on the PS3 - he's actually pretty good, which is funny to see, since he's only 4? It's just humorous watching this little 4 year old with this adult sized controller and he's actually pressing the right buttons and getting the things on the TV to do the moves he wants. Kids are smart these days! I can't believe he starts pre-school soon. (Wahhhh!!!) He's going to love it though, he LOVES learning activities - that and playing sports are his favorite things - so I think he's really going to enjoy it. He's going to be in for a rude awakening though, when it comes to things like taking turns, waiting for the other kids, etc. He shares pretty well, but he's not the most.....patient....of children.
Anyway, you have a great night. We're getting in gear here for Europe! WOOHOO....only three more days!!!! We've got our whole itinerary mapped out and the wonderful places we're going to visit ... I can't wait! Sam's taking me on the Zugspitze on Sunday, which should be really interesting - given the fact that it's 10000 feet up - in a cable car!! :) Keep checking our blog while we're gone, I'm hoping to keep my blog up to date so you can see what we've done!
Tour de Wellington
Note: His big boy bike even has a place for a water bottle, just like his dads!!! He was so good riding around on his new bike with training wheels, I don't think it will be long before he'll want them to come off!
(Note, he asked the girls to give him a push .... and they gladly obliged....he's such a flirt!!! Wonder where he gets THAT from??? Daddy?????)
He did have a few minor mishaps this weekend, though ... but he got right back up and didn't even cry....he's tough!
It was a great weekend - we went shopping for the bikes on Saturday then to the mall on Sunday .... trying to get ready for Europe this week. Going to miss our little ones sooooo much, though we do have a FABULOUS trip lined out!!! Some of the places we're staying are amazing and the things we have planned will be just fabulous (such as the zugspitze ...scary??) I can't wait to see the Swarovski crystal museum and of course Paris......hasn't been high on my "top ten places I've wanted to visit" but since I've been researching, I've been getting more exciting ... I'm looking forward to French crepes and pastries ... and drinking champagne at the top of the Eiffel tower!
Anyway, hope you all have great evening! Here's just some random shots of the girls from Saturday after they got their new "crikes!" They're so darn photogenic.....hard to pick and choose which ones to post.
Note: She was mad at mommy in these next two pictures (Addie). Mommy told her to stay out of the dirt otherwise she was going to have to come in. She folded her arms, and gave me "the look." Is that not hysterical???
Awww...........sisterly love!!!
Blankie...Blankie, who needs a blankie?
Here's the before/after!
Good job Kiersten .... and thanks to Kay for helping get rid of "OLD" blankie!!! :) (Smile!!!)

Who's on First?
We've been teasing my niece Sammy for the last few weeks with the whole "who's on first" routine (frankly, I don't even get the humor in it) because it took her forever to figure out "WHO" is on first....LOL. She just always has this look on her face that is so innocent. She always wakes up so happy and comes up in the morning saying "whatcha doinnnn".

Bad boys, bad boys....
He's such a ham, but the minute he sees the camera or video - he stops! arrgh, lol! Don't you love the hands in his pockets? Heeheee.....he cracks me up sometimes!
The girl of many suits....
Addie and Avery
Here's a couple pictures I took right before we left for our trip (the morning of). They are such goofballs - they are getting so big - almost 2 1/2 and they're talking so much now! For the first time this morning Addison said "Avery did it" - I walked in their room and it was a mess (that was her response to my question "what happened in here!") They're so much fun to be around...here's why:
Eating the chocolate only off the chocolate donught ...
Addie is pushing Avery around in the baby strollers that Nana bought them (of course, they weigh so much, they've all but pushed the "stroller" part to the ground!"
Don't know if you can tell, but Ave was using dishtowels to cover Addie up - like a baby!
Umm, sweetie, it works better if you use a ball.
Often, we'll go in their room in the morning and they're snuggling together or just talking - it's very cute. If one is hurt or crying, the other will come up and try to "rub" the other one (is it okay sis?) and they are always giving each other kisses and hugs!! I hope they'll grow up to be the best of friends!!
Beach Bums in the OBX
Other than the beach, we spent our days in the pool, the hot tub or just hanging around. There are wild horses that roam the beach which is a pretty amazing site to see as well ... they're Spanish Mustangs that made their way to the Outer Banks some way or another (Sam started to read the story in the paper - if you're interested in learning more, Google it, because I don't know the whole story and I'm really too tired to go back and read it and type it.....blah, blah, blah.) <-- smile. They not only come up on the beach but they come up into people's yards - check this out! We did give them one (or two) little baby carrots (even though you're not supposed to!!) but they came right up onto our deck and the screened in porch where we ate dinner most nights! They were shy and a little skittish and they seemed so skinny and me and (Nanny) Debbie kind of felt sorry for them.
So that I can share my photos sooner rather than later, I'm just adding a link to my photo gallery here (Kodak) - I've just basically dumped the pictures off my camera ... so I haven't done any editing or sorting (I'm just warning you in advance....sorry there is almost 350 pictures here, yikes!!) Unfortunately, I had to work the first couple days of our trip (YES, I know, and YES, I did believe it or not!) because with our trip to Germany and Paris coming up in a couple weeks I didn't have the vacation time (the Europe trip is partly a business trip for Sam so he doesn't have to take all vacation time like I do) so I just didn't get a chance to blog. Though I do have to say (again) we're so getting ready for 10 child free days..lol! I can't imagine what it will be like to be without the babies for TEN whole days. When we went to Antigua when Zach was 6 or 7 months old (you know, when we decided to start trying to have another baby...ONE...more baby) we SORT of missed Zach ...but we had such a fabulous time that the "time" flew by.... romantic resort, 100% sunny skies with amazing sunsets out of our bedroom windows ... incredible snorkeling, fancy dinners, drinking freshly made frozen drinks with little umbrellas ... can you blame us for not missing him THAT much?? But we've never really been away from all three of them for any real length of time. I'm sure it will go by fast ... but we'll miss the monsters. (Just kidding!! Heeheee!!!) Please note, however, we did NOT get pregnant at the most romantic Jumby Bay, it took us until the NEXT month during our white water rafting trip for Sam's birthday ...when my egg must have magically split during a class IV rapid. (That's my theory anyway, though I probably don't recall, since I was holding onto his life jacket for dear life while everyone else in the boat was paddling!!!)

And they're off....
We were a SIGHT to seen traveling down to the OBX in 2 huge SUV with luggage, coolers, boogie boards, skim boards, beach chairs....two hula hoops.....Sam's new kayak, and the piece de resistance strapped to the back of the truck...........
People were actually - literally (not joking)
- Pointing
- Pointing and laughing
- Pointing and laughing and taking pictures. (SERIOUSLY).
We looked like the Griswolds on vacation, all we needed was Aunt Edna on top. Sam had all the bigger kids in our Jeep, I had mom, Nanny Debbie and the twins in the Tahoe that we borrowed from a friend that Sam works with ... and there was so much stuff in my truck - Addison who was sitting ALL the way in the back looked like ET in the scene with all the stuffed animals. You knew she was there ---- but you could hardly see her ... though she thought it was great fun. In our defense, we WERE packing for 15 people. 10 kids, 5 adults. 12 of which were coming with US. WOW.
It took us about 2 hours to get there, and when we rounded the corner and got onto the beach ....OMG, it was worth every minute of the last 45 minutes of stop and go traffic. The beach is GORGEOUS. It had been pretty windy, so the waves were at least 8-10 feet high - it was amazing. We had to drive almost 8 miles down the beach (30 minute ride) to get to our house, and when we finally got there, it was great!!! The unpacking took forever but we got it all worked out and we finally ate dinner around 9:30 PM. (Smile!) Cute story: When we got there, Addie said "this is so so so great!"
We got up Sunday and went in the in ground pool and checked out the beach - everyone had a great time! We are so fortunate and lucky that everyone is happy and healthy and that we had the chance this year to do this. We also bought a kite - one of those huge ones made out of fabric with the spinning tail - it was so windy that it just stayed up tied onto the truck. Stay tuned for the first couple beach photos. I am going to warn you, though, I'm just going to do a Kodak Gallery - I have so many photos (400+) I know our families and friends want to see so I'm just going to basically dump them off my camera and get them out here on our blog --- rather than picking and choosing through them...or even photo-shopping them like I normally do to get the red eye out or center them (gasp!!) I'll probably go through and blog about a couple of them, otherwise, you know me - I love taking photos so I was (as usual) camera happy and of course in none of the pictures (though Sam did take a couple of me ---- in my bathing suit, so of course I won't post them here....ugh!! LOL!!!)
Enjoy the pictures and thanks for reading our blog! :)
Love to all ...
PS: I promised Sam I would give him special kudos on my blog ... (smile!!) He packed the car on the way out there so perfectly NOTHING fell or broke, even after driving for 8 miles on the bumpy sand! And if you see the pictures above, you can only imagine how much STUFF was packed in, strapped down, tied on......! Literally, he had everything packed so well that of the three dozen eggs we brought, we only broke one. Not dozen eggs...we broke one single egg. Amazing. We did lose the strap that was holding the Kayak and some luggage at the VERY end of the beach road and as Sam was turning into our sand "driveway" (our beach/mile marker) two suitcases stuffed with food slid off the top rack and onto the beach. But believe it or not, we didn't break anything. Not the 3 jars of pasta sauce, the jar of Goobers pb&j, or the jar of pickles that was in the suitcases. Great job hun!More posts to come shortly ........

Not a good day! :(
Not to mention, apparently tropical storm Bertha, has turned into what they're saying is a Cat 3 hurricane. Please pray for us that it changes paths or fizzles out or something, we rented a beach house on the NC shore this coming week (we leave Saturday). And we didn't get the trip insurance. Lovely day!!!
Hope tomorrow is better............ :)
I got it, I got it!
Waiting in line at Best Buy, Circuit City and T-R-U before they opened, after about (literally 20 phone calls a week to Target, Wal-Mart and Blockbuster) ......I finally got the WII FIT! WOO HOO!!!!!!!
Me and my neighbor Jen went to Toys R Us this Sunday morning at 9:15 because when I was there last week (waiting in line) they told me they were going to have them this weekend. So we got there at 9:15, even though they didn't open until 10:00. Apparently they had 16. We were 16 and 17. Of course, Jen is the one who called me to wake me up and we get there and I couldn't take the 16th one - I would have stil been sleeping if it wasn't for her! So I pick up my Blackberry to dial Target to see if they got a shipment and I got an e-mail from the people who bought our crib and changing table (the husband is the manager at Best Buy) and when I mentioned I was looking for the WII Fit they said they'd let me know when they came in. So I am about to dial Target when I see a message from this gal and it says they're going to have them at Best Buy on Sunday (same day we're at Toys R US). Best Buy didn't open for another hour and 1/2 so I called Sam, he rushed over, and was the first in line! And I GOT IT.
Although me and my new friend the WII FIT are NOT on speaking terms. Basically it told me I'm fat and have no balance so I probably fall down a lot, oh and that my WII age is a lot older than my actual age of 21. So we're not speaking. I mean, it's true, but it just met me it could ease into being so nasty, ya know???? (SMILE!)
I'm just happy I got one!
I'll let you know how it goes!

Last game of the year so these are the last pictures you'll see until next season! :(
This is the sign the kids made for Daddy ... but the kids couldn't come it was too hot so Kiersten brought it anyway! It was too sweet and Uncle Sam took Kiersten for ice cream afterward!
Jack and the giant weedstalk ...

Now you know that Kay's been dancing since she's been three, right? She's won different National Competitions - as a matter of fact, her group won the whole thing last year here in VA Beach. However ...for the first time ever, her SOLO dance won the overall best dance at a NATIONAL competition in St. Louis, MO! Yes, that means, the judges thought her dance was the best over all the other hundreds of dancers there! INCREDIBLE (not surprising, but incredible!!)
I couldn't find any online video of her solo dance, but I did find several links to some of her current dances, which I'm going to post here. She's with a new studio this year, Northern Force Dance Company and it must be working for her!! If you have seen Kay dance you can likely pick her out of the small group ones. The picture is small on the large group, so I'm not sure exactly where to tell you to look but the dance is beautiful.
This song is Storm by Lifehouse in case anyone is wondering (I LOVE IT!!!)
This dance is The Moment I said it (Kayla is the one that was in the chair)
This dance is Come here boy - Kay is the dancer that starts out on the left.
If you want to see some more dances, click on this link. There are three dances of hers you can watch, she's in: Summertime, Parachutes and our personal favorite (9 crimes)
Hope you enjoy the dances, she's truly a gifted dancer ... we're sure you will!

My mom, the drug smuggler??
Smile Mom, it wasn't that bad! Just make the bread when you get home (minus, of course, what they tested to be sure it wasn't cocaine) ....it will be worth it when you try it with the marijuana oops, I mean spinach and herb dip that I sent with you too. That is of course, if you get the whole thing past your second stop in Chicago. Heeheee!
Seriously (giggle giggle) I didn't think they'd REALLY stop you (giggle giggle) - it's in a cake mix bag for crying out loud (giggle giggle) and it's not even really WHITE, it's more yellowish (giggle giggle!!) So ... I really am sorry for your troubles (GIGGLE GIGGLE!!) Though you have to admit, nothing like that has ever happened to you before!!
xoxo love you and thanks for coming out - hope you enjoyed your visit out here, and we appreciate your help with the kids!

Unlike the other cities in India, which grew around sacred sites or trading routes, Mumbai is a colonial creation built by british to serve British mercantile interests. The long history of islands before they became the headquarters of the East India company, was merely a prologue to main drama that was to unfold.
7 islands of Bombay
Before its colonial incarnation, the seven islands of Bombay were home to Koli fisherfolk who migrated from Gujarat. Their shanties still occupy parts of the city's shoreline today. In the 2nd century BC the nearby island of Salsette was occupied by the Buddhist Satvahanas who began construction of Kanheri Caves. The seven islands-Mahim, Worli, Parel, Mazagaon, Old Woman's Island, Colaba and Bombay Island itself were known as Heptanesia to the Romans, and Pliny and Ptolemy recorded Roman and Persian trade with ports in the vicinity.
The Portuguese Era
Portuguese activity was concentrated in Bassein where they built an impressive settlement that administered the nearby islands of Bombay. The islands were divided between the Jesuit and Franciscan orders who fervently went about the business of converting the populace to Roman Catholicism by building churches, destroying temples and establishing schools. The targets of their attention were a few thousand Koli fisherfolk, Bhandari today tappers, Pathare Prabhu traders and Kunbi rice farmers.
East India Company
It's likely that Bombay would have languished as a swampy outpost if it hadn't been for the vision of Governor Gerald Aungier, who tried to persuade the East India Company to move its headquarters to Bombay. The advantages of Bombay over Surat lay in its sheltered harbour and the relative security of its island setting, which Aungier thought impregnable if properly secured. Failing to convince his directors he moved to Bombay himself in 1672 and set up a home in Bombay Castle, the fortified residence built partial out of Garcia da Orta's manor house. He then confidently went about laying the groundwork for 'the city, which by God's assistance is intended to be built'.
Precarious Years
Bombay's future looked precarious for several decades but things improved when Governor Boone finished construction of the Fort in 1716, lowered customs duties and abolished taxes on essential items in a bid to kick-start trade. He also improved the sea walls, protecting low-Iying land from flooding, and cleaned up the shifty business practices of many Company freeloaders. Boone proved that economic success was dependent on security, strength and effective government as much as on wheeling and dealing.
Growth the City
Throughout much of the 18th century bombay was divorced from the main events of imperial policy in India. Hemmed in by the Marathas, whose capital was just over the Western Ghats in Pune, Bombay operated as an isolated entrepot. Its vulnerability was underlined when the Marathas stormed Bassein in 1739, effectively ending Portuguese power plays in the region. Fearing attack, the Esplanade was cleared of all encumbrances in 1772 to provide a clear line of fire from the fort walls to the Arabian Sea.
20th Century Bombay
Despite the public health concerns and the Dickensian living conditions of many mill workers, the city remained buoyant. The Taj Mahal Hotel was built in 1903, the year plague finally disappeared. King George V visited Mumbai in 1911 amid much pomp and ceremony, and the first Indian feature film was released in 1913. The Back Bay reclamation scheme was announced in 1921, which would eventually reshape the city's ocean shoreline, and three years later the Gateway of India graced its harbour to commemorate King George's 1911 visit. The Gateway was an anachronistic gesture for the city had already experienced its first anti-British riots. Gandhi had become a frequent visitor to Bombay and calls for independence were increasing.
The City Divided
At Independence, Bombay became the capital of the bilingual Bombay State which encompassed a huge area of western India. Pressure to redraw the state boundaries on linguistic lines led to tension between Bombay's Marathi and Gujarati-speaking communities and violence in 1955 claimed 106 lives. There was some debate about Bombay becoming a separate Union Territory to preserve its cosmopolitan character until the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti (SMS), a multiparty alliance which aimed to create a Marathi-speaking state, won control of the Bombay Municipal Council (BMC) in 1957. It claimed Bombay as the capital of Maharashtra and tensions between Gujarati and Marathi speakers in the city rose and flared into violence.
The city of Bombay was officially renamed Mumbai in January 1996. Many locals are clearly in favour of the name change since it has been part of the democratically elected Shiv Sena's agenda for decades. They believe the new name reclaims the city's heritage and signifies its emergence from a colonial past. Others see the change as an assertion of Maratha identity (Mumbai is the Marathi name for the city) that is inappropriate in a city that is home to people from all over India.

I have the best job in the world!
My days were happier when I returned to my love of children and it helped pay the bills whilst building up my coaching practice. Later on I furthered my coaching skills and qualified as a Child Coach.
The best qualification is life experience
By the way, if you want to be a Child Coach, my advice would be to follow your heart. As cheesy as it sounds, every single challenge in my life has lead me to this. For those of you that are interested, I trained here and to be honest, that was just the very beginning of my journey to becoming the Smiley Coach. 10 years later, I've coached hundreds children to feel better about themselves. All my work how comes through referrals from happy families who have worked with me.
I eat and breathe this stuff
It is my life and I am very passionate about it. I constantly read, share and connect with like-minded people. In fact, here is a list of my recommended books which have helped me along the way. I go on self development courses and spiritual adventures. I have regular therapy / supervisory sessions so I can grow through my work. What I'm trying to say is: please don't get too hung up on pieces of paper. It's who you are and where you've been that will shape you into a fab Coach. I attract clients who have experienced the same as me growing up – anxiety, lack of self belief and self esteem, low self confidence, negative thinking, perfectionism, anger and a blurry sense of self. Blimey when you type it all out like that, it really doesn't sound like fun. Here are 20 important facts I wish I had known growing up.
There were lots of good times too
I was lucky enough to attend a top school in Surrey, travel to Disney and tap dance with Roy Castle for Children In Need. I played the cello and piano, was a good Brownie, a strong swimmer and loved to play make believe with my sisters (I am the eldest of 4). As a grown up, I love spending time with friends, blogging, watching murder mysteries and cooking. I am a true foodie. Sometimes only cheese and biscuits will do. I love to laugh and play. After all that is what life is about.
Amongst the craziness, there's always something to smile about
Thanks for dropping by. If you'd like to know more about the World of Smiley, you can connect with me on Facebook where we are building a strong community of parents who support, laugh and help each other with the trials and tribulations of every day life.

text: Autumn In The Clouds 11/17/2018 I have enjoyed being out and about with my cameras in the autumn sunshine recently. I love the way that the warm colours of the sun bring out the reds, golds and browns of the leaves on the trees and transforms the landscape into a patchwork of bright colours. However, as Keats wrote, autumn is also the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. I was reminded of this yesterday when Rachael and I took our dog Bailey for a walk in the woods. As we drove up Haldon Hill from Exeter, the fog got

Capacity Building to Strengthen the National QI in Zimbabwe
Posted on: February 13, 2014
Under the sponsorhip of the TBT Programme, a two-day workshop has been held in Harare on the 26th and 27th of March at the request of the Standard Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ).
The workshop provided an overview of the WTO TBT Agreement. The background, purpose and scope of the Agreement were presented as well as the main principles and disciplines. A particular attention was given to conformity assessment requirements and procedures. Furthermore participants from Government institutions, the public and private sector used the workshop as a forum to share information and experiences on TBT Agreement implementation aspects. The workshop included presentations from the host authorities on Zimbabwe´s experience with implementation of the TBT Agreement.
The importance of an adequate infrastructure has also been highlighted during the workshop. The WTO TBT Agreement requires members like Zimbabwe to have a minimum institutional infrastructure that includes a National Standards Body, an Enquiry Point and a Notification Authority. The challenges of the export sectors have also been debated highlighting the fact that Zimbabwean companies to export, products and services, producers must meet the demands of the target markets in terms of quality, safety, reliability, environmental compatibility and hygiene and provide credible proofs.
Thus, if the adequate infrastructure is not in place or if it is underdeveloped, the lack of acceptable proof can constitute a technical barrier to trade. Indeed, with the growing number of standards and technical rules imposed by the market and the ever-higher demands, technical barriers to trade are becoming an increasingly important issue. Today, they represent a major obstacle to poverty reduction through trade.
Finally the workshop presented the key objective of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade as a preventive instrument to ensure that national measures do not result in discrimination or arbitrary restrictions on international trade. The wokshop helped Zimbabwean stakeholders to clarify how to pursue their own policy objectives without creating unnecessary barriers to trade for other countries, whilst at the same time developing their competitiveness and expanding their exports in regional and international markets.

Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja : Life Sketch
"yo:nithya machyuatha pada:mbuja yugmarukma vya:mo:hatha sthaditharana trunayame:ne: |
asmadguro: rbhagavatho:sya dayaika sindho:h ra:ma:nujasya chararanou saranam prapaddye" ||
Lord Srimannarayana incarnated in many forms as 'Avatars' to uplift the downtrodden lives of all living beings. But, unfortunately, there were not many who could identify him as the Lord. Some of the living beings, considered him as a man and even some treated him as an enemy.
While reclining on 'a:dise:sha', The Lord was regretting and felt unhappy about the ignorance of people as his efforts were not benefitting them. 'a:dise:sha' noticed the Lord's predicament and wanted that he could be of service to in this regard. He then requested the Lord to give him an opportunity to serve him so as to help him to overcome his dissatisfaction. The Lord was pleased with his request and gave his consent for Adisesha to appear on earth and help him in the task. 'a:dise:sha' appeared himself in the form of none other than Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja.
Birth of Ramanuja:
In Sriperumbudur, a village near Chennai, a Vaishanva couple named Keshavacharyulu and Kantimathi Devi were residing and were descendants of Asuri Family. Kanthimathi was a pious and virtuous lady but the couple had no children. They performed a 'Putra ka:meshti ya:gam' . Prior to that, they had a holy dip in the sea on a lunar eclipse day and also prayed at the Lord Parthasarathi temple in Chennai. As a boon granted by the Yagam, the couple were blessed with a boy. The boy was born on an Arudra star in the Vaishaka month in the year 1017 AD that was exactly 4418 years after the beginning of Kaliyuga.
Childhood and Education:
Ramanuja's father Keshavacharyulu performed all Vedic Samskaras to him and also performed thread ceremony by the age of 8. He was taught Vedic knowledge and Sanskrit. By the age of 16, the boy got married to Tanjamamba . As time passed, Keshavacharyulu expired . To pursue his further learning in Sastras, he reached Kanchipuram and started tutelage under a scholar named 'Yadava Prakashakulu'.
Jealousy of Guru:
At that time, the king's daughter there was being tormented by a demon. Yadava Prakashakulu could not help the king to make his daughter well. He then took Ramanuja with him and with the touch of Ramanuja's holy feet there, the demon left the king's daughter and she was cured. The guru started becoming jealous after the incident. In another incident, Ramanuja gave a new and better pious interpretation to the meaning of "YADHA KA:PASYAM" in Chando:gya Upanishad. His guru used to explain it as the Lord's eyes resemble as lower part of a monkey, while Ramanuja cleverly interpreted as eyes compared to Lotus. Yadava Prakashakulu was afraid of his knowledge and wisdom. So he thought to eliminate him considering him as an enemy. He planned a method to kill him on the pretext of sending him on Kasi yatra. When Ramanuja started on this Yatra, his cousin came to know of the plan of his guru and saved him. Sri Varadaraja Perumal with his consort appeared in the forest as 'Boya' couple and took him to Kanchi. There, Ramanuja offered the Lord 'Teertha Kainkaryam' and "Chamara" Seva.
Efforts to have glimpse of Yamunacharya
A Great scholar by name Sri Yamuncaharya used to reside in Srirangam. He came to know about the greatness of Ramanuja and thought he would be his best successor. He deputed his disciple Periyanambi to Ramanuja. Ramanuja was impressed by the 'Slokam' "Swabhavikena- vadhikatisaya" from the 'Strotra Ratna Mala' written by Yamunacharya recited by his disciple. After knowing about the greatness of Yamunacharyulu , Ramanuja wanted to have a glimpse of him. By then, Yamunacharya had already trained five of his bright disciples with the inner and profound meaning of the Sashtras. Yamunacharya was unhappy as he could not finish three of his works during his life time. While he left for heavenly abode, his three fingers remained unusually closed. Ramanuja came to attend his last rituals and announced there that he would:
- to get himself "pancha Samskarams" and spread them among masses.
- to author 'Sri Bhahyam' on the basis of 'Brahma sutras'.
- to bring glory to the greatness of Parasara Maharshi author of Vishnupuranam and Vedavyas author of Braham sutras.
With this announcement, the closed fingers of Yamunacahrya miraculously got released. The scholars there, were surprised and praised him to be a true disciple of Sri Yamuncharya.
Ramanuja gets *"Pancha Samskaras":
As he was not able to get a glimpse of Yamuncharya during his life time and had only seen his 'partha Sariram ', Ramanuja felt unhappy with the grace of Sriranganadha, the presiding deity there. So, he returned to Kanchipuram without having the glimpse of Sriranganadha.
Kanchipurnulu during 'Vinjamara Seva' used to chat with the Lord. Ramanuja learnt from Kanchipurnulu about six important points as guidelines from God during his chats.
- Sri Maha Vishnu is the ultimate reality.
- Living beings and God are different.
- Saranagati attitude is the only way to Moksham
- After 'Pancha Samskara' , remembering and uttering the Lord's name at the last moments of life is not essential to attain salvation.
- 'Moksham' will definite after death.
- Mahapurnulu is the right guru to offer 'Pancha Samskaras'.
As per the above guidelines, he set on to meet Mahapurnulu to get Panachasamskarams*. At Madhuranthakam, both happened to cross each other on their ways. He then got 'Pancha Samskarams from him . He also learnt Sastras and Alwar Prabahandhalu from him.
Ramanuja Renouncing:
He took renunciation at Devaraja Sannidhi in Kanchipuuram. Vardaraja Swami himself addressed Ramanuja as "Yatiraja". His old guru Yadava Parakasakulu now came to know the greatness of Ramanuja through his mother . As per the Lords' instructions in his dreams, he took 'Pancha Samskaramas' from Ramanuja and became known as Govinddas. Lord Sriranganadha invited Ramanuja to lead the "Transient Manifestation "('Leela Vibhuthi') and " Permanent manifestation " (Nithya Vibhuti') . With that authority, Ramanuja was appropriately named as "Udayavar".
*Pancha Samskaras means undergoing five transformations Viz. 1. Thapa 2. Pundra 3. Nama 4. Mantra and 5. Yaga , from the right guru.
To spread the sacred essence of 'Mantra Rajam' far and wide
Ramanuja was eager to learn the hidden contexts of 'Thirumantram' and 'Charama slokamu' from Sri Goshtipurnulu. At last, he succeeded in the final attempt, only after making 18 trips patiently, with the grace of Lord Sriranganadha. Sri Goshtipurnaulu was pleased with him and happy with the affection of Ramanuja on his disciples Kurueshulu and Modaliyandan and piousness of his dandam.
It was so difficult even to Sri Bhagvad Ramanuja to learn about the grandeur of the 'Mantra' . He thought about this and was so concerned that how difficult it would be for the ordinary people . So one day, he preached the secret of the mantra to all those desirous among the
devotees who thronged for the festival of Nrisimha perumal. By doing so, he broke the promise given to his guru, but as he was not afraid to go to hell while so many people can reach heaven so easily with the power of this Mantra. This was the benevolence and courage shown by him. Sri Goshtipurnulu was impressed by it and gave the title 'Yembur Mannar' and embraced him. He ordered that spreading this mantra will be henceforth called "Ramanuja Siddhatnaatam" from that day. Thus his followers, are always being blessed by Yembur Mannar.
Authoring of Sri Bhashyam and other books :
Sri Bhagvad Ramanuja mastered Sanskrit literature and 'Thirumayimojhi' from his disciple Yamunaryulu, in no time. He also listened to 24 different interpretations of Sri Ramayanam with the perspective of 'Vishishtadwaita' under his guru Sri Sailapurnulu. He thought reading through "Bhodharayanavritti" would help him to author 'Sri Bhashyam' . For that purpose, he went to Sarada Peetham in Kashmir along with his disciple Sri Kuresulu. But the Jain monks there, were reluctant to part with the book, even for a while. Sri Kuresulu, with him being a wizard of memory and retention, could grasp the entire content overnight. The magnificent feat of authoring Sribhashyam was completed with the help of Sri Kuresulu. With this, the second wish of Sri Yamunacharyulu was fulfilled. He later authored "Vedanta Sangraham", 'Vedanta Deepam" 'Vedanta Saramu" and Gita Bhashyam". He authored three proses in the presence of Lord Sriranaganadha named "Sranagati Gadya" Sriranag Gadya" and Sri Vaikuntha Gadys". He entrusted the work writing commentary on 'Thiruvayimojhi" to a competent disciple named Thirukurugaippiran.
Successful Tours to spread Ramanuja Theology :
Ramanuja made reforms in some rituals at the Srirangam Temple. By doing this, he faced the wrath of some priests there and they even tried to eliminate him. In spite of that, he started to popularize the 'Vishsishtadvaita' philosophy with the blessings of Lord Sriranganadha. Many became his followers and disciples.
He then reached Tirumala Tirupathi and found that Sri Venkateswara by that time lent his 'Sankhu' and 'Chakra' to help the king Tondaman during his war. So, he brought back them to the Lord and decorated him. He reformed many procedures and stipulated rules and regulations for the temple management. He also prepared good procedures and plans to be followed during pujas and other rituals. Lord Jagannadh, wished Ramanuja to maintain the status quo for his rituals and practices there at Puri Jagannath. He reformed the temples of Srikurmam and Simhadri with the blessings of presiding lords at these temples. He reached Badari and prayed intensely to Nara Narayana, the presiding deity there. He established Srivaishnava order far and wide. There by, he offered salvation to millions.
When Kuranga Nagara perumal enquired about the root cause for his charisma, he preached 'Mantra Ratnam' in his right ear. He named Perumal as 'Sri Vaishnav Nambi' . Thus, he became acharya of even ' Sriyahpathi ' .
Sri Bhashyakarlu:
Ramanuja reached Saradapeetham in Kashmir while his disciples were chanting Sri Bhashyam enroute. Sarada Devi expressed her keen interest in listening to the interpretation of "Yadhyakapasyam" from Ramanuja. Sarada Devi, as sign of respect, put Sribhashyam on her head. She was also delighted with that some wrong interpretations were corrected by Ramanuja with pious meanings. As a mark of highest respect, she bestowed and addressed him as "Bhashyakara". She presented him with Sri Hayagriva idol, which she was personally worshipping, till then. Thus, Ramanuja was conferred with the title of "Sri Bhashaykara". Even now, the same idol of Hayagriva can be seen in Sriranagam at Udayvar (Ramanuja's) temple. Sri Kuruththalwar a beloved disciple of Ramanuja was blessed with two sons by the grace of SriRanganadah. Ramanuja named them after Sri Parasara Bhattar and Sri Vedavyasa, as was promised to Yamunacahryulu . Thus he could fulfill all the three promises made by him to Yamaunacharyulu at the time of his demise.
Facing Adversities:
There are always some evil forces obstructing the good work being done in the society. A Chola king named Krimikanthaka a staunch Shaivite was having deep hatred towards Srivaishnavites. He was burning with jealousy by knowing about the glory and the good work of Ramanuja. The king wanted to take him to custody and harass him. Sri Mahapurnulu and Sri Kuresulu came to know about it and volunteered themselves to be present in the court. Sri Kuresulu disguised himself as Ramanuja and mislead the king. As they were not succumbing to his pressure tactics he ordered torture and removal of the eyes. Sri Kuresulu without waiting for his soldiers to do the job, he himself removed his own eyes and gave them to the king. After that, while Kuresulu could reach Kancheepuram, Mahapurnulu succumbed to the torture and left for heavenly abode on the way.
Sri Bhagvad Ramanuja escaped to the Mysore kingdom wearing white robes . He then switched over back to saffron clothes and dandam . He reached Thirunarayana puram (Melkote) and restored the glory of Srirama Priya perumal. He came to know that idols which were used in regular rituals were taken away by the then Delhi nawab ruler, as his daughter took fancy to these idols. Ramanuja went to his court in Delhi and called to him the idols as "Samapathkumara" . Surprisingly, the idols came moving and sat in the lap of Ramanuja. After returning back, he arranged for a grand festival welcoming them back and consecrating
them again. Till then, Harijans were not permitted inside the temple. Ramanuja ,as a social reformer, took a bold step to make them enter the temples. While Ramanuja was away from Srirangam, he came to know about the death of Krimikanathaka. He returned to Srirangam along with his disciples. To sustain the activity of the Srivaishanav tradition even after his demise, Ramanuja appointed 74 'Peethadhipathis' and made a standing committee of 4 members . To assist them he chose 1200 personal staff to them.
Installing his personal idol:
The disciples were feeling lost in the absence of Ramanuja, there. With extreme benevolence, he agreed to make three statues to represent him in his absence . The statues were made to exactly resemble him and then he embraced each statue and transferred his divineness and aura in them. These 3 statues were consecrated at Sriranagm, Sri Perumbudur and Melkote. A statue of Ramanuja given by himself to Ananthaalwan was consecrated at Tirumala as directed by Lord Venakteswara himself. As an embodiment and avatar of Adisheshu, Ramanuja completed his earthly mission in 120 years. He assembled all the disciples and preached 82 'Divya shuktulu' to them.
At the end of his earthly journey, he kept his head on the lap of Govindabahattar and feet in the lap of Andhrapurnulu while his heart was filled with reverence to his guru Yamunacharyulu. While some disciples like Anandavalli, Bhruguvalli were reciting Thiruvaimojhi and celestial music was permeating .
That was in the month of Magha and thidhi sudhdha dasami , a Saturday afternoon Ramanuja liberated his body through his Brahama Nadi to reach 'paramapadam' and returned to the service of his Lord Srimannarayana. He is popular on the earth with different names and titles as 'SriBhagavad Ramanuja',' Illaya Perumal', ' Yatirajulu', ' Yember Mannar', ' Sri Bhashyakarlu', and 'Udayavarlu' . He popularized and propagated Ramanuja Theology as Srivaishnavism on the earth and thus offering ultimate liberation to all living beings.

The zombie film that started the heated (and sometimes downright rude) argument between genre fans over the "true" definition of a zombie - no seriously, people want to fight all the time about viral zombies vs Voodoo zombies and it's totally hilarious. Want to know the quickest way to piss off a zombie fan? Tell them that 28 Days Later is your favorite zombie film.
The success of the first two films is a solid foundation for a trilogy, and apparently there has been the potential for some combination of director Danny Boyle, screenwriter Alex Garland and producer Andrew Macdonald to return to the story they originated in 28 Days Later.
In an interview with IGN, Alex Garland (you might remember the Sci-Fi Honeys making noise about Garland's gorgeous sci-fi film Ex Machina) said that he and Boyle have started talking with Macdonald about the film, and that there's an idea of some sort in place.
We've just started talking about it seriously…We've got an idea. Danny [Boyle] and [producer] Andrew [Macdonald] and I have been having quite serious conversations about it so it is a possibility. It's complicated. There's a whole bunch of reasons why it's complicated, which are boring so I won't go into, but there's a possibility.
So, there's a nice rumor for the day. Maybe if we hashtag it enough, it'll happen. 28 Hours Later? 28 Years Later? 28 Months Later? 28 Days Before? The options aren't limitless, but they're all intriguing. Consider me interested.

ADSL Troubleshooting Guide
There are a number of factors which can affect the speed and stability of your ADSL connection. They can be broadly grouped into line quality, line length and the use of filters.
Line quality
Since the copper lines leading from the exchange to your house are often old and therefore deteriorating, you may have issues with your connection. Unfortunately there is not much that you can do about this, in some instances Telstra may install a new line for you, however this is quite expensive.
Line length
Line length plays a large factor in determining the maximum speed of your connection (and indeed if you can get a connection at all). Apart from living in a house close to your exchange, there is nothing you can do about the distance between your exchange and your house. That said, once the line is in your house, you should aim to have the shortest lead possible between your wall outlet and your ADSL modem. We recommend a maximum lead length of 3 metres. Anything over this can cause additional interference to be present. If it is necessary to have a longer lead, we recommend having a short lead between your telephone wall socket and ADSL modem, and extending the lead between your ADSL modem and your computer.
Please note that the ADSL phone line should be kept away from mains power lines where possible as these lines can induce interference into the ADSL connection.
An appropriate filter must be installed correctly on every phone device connected to your telephone line (minus the ADSL modem itself). The diagrams above show how to do this using our ADSL1 model, however the procedure is similar for our other models as well.
If you have more than 3-4 devices connected to your phone line (fax machines, telephones, back-to-base alarms etc), you should have a central filter (such as our ADSL6) installed by a licensed cabler.
If your connection is still slow or unstable, your first contact should be your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

4. Proposal for Senate-Sponsored Symposium on Shared Governance for Rutgers' 250th Anniversary -
Martha Cotter
Martha Cotter spoke about her concept and ideas for a Senate-sponsored symposium on shared governance for Rutgers' 250th anniversary year. Her proposed title was "Faculty Governance at Rutgers, Past, Present and Future." It would address shared governance in general, including faculty, student, staff and other issues, and would highlight some of what the University Senate has done in shared governance. It would also be used as a forum to present relevant issues identified by Senate committees in the interim, with consideration of how the Senate, faculty councils, student governing associations, and faculty and student advisory committees work together. Another aspect of the symposium would be an examination of benchmarks in shared governance, and an exploration of "Shared Governance in the Era of the Corporate University" along with a panel discussion. Afterward, the Senate would assemble something like a strategic plan for shared governance. It was decided that the Senate symposium would take place at the October 2016 Senate meeting, and that regular Senate business would be suspended for that meeting. The Shared Governance Symposium Committee will be chaired by Cotter, and will include Peter Gillett and Justin Schulberg. Natalie Borisovets volunteered to help research other institutions.
5. Standing Committees
Instruction, Curricula and Advising Committee (ICAC)
Response to Charge S-1413 on Selection Process for Software Packages or Services of Significant Instructional Impact
Natalie Borisovets, ICAC Chair
This report had been revised since first being discussed at the September EC meeting. The ICAC was charged as follows:
"Using the most recent Pearson contract as a case in point, review the process by which large contracts that have the potential to seriously affect curricular or academic areas of the University are awarded. How
are final bidders
selected, and by what criteria are choices made? How are specifications determined for components/needs? How do we ensure that faculty preferences and pedagogical priorities are included in the consideration of such packages?"
ICAC Chair Natalie Borisovetrs summarized the revised report, noting that most of the changes were in the recommendations, which were now more proscriptive, and that a resolution had been added. Peter Gillett made some suggestions for further revisions. Borisovets will make additional changes, and the report will be docketed for action at the upcoming Senate meeting.
University Structure and Governance Committee (USGC)
Response to Charge S-1403 on Process for Unit Mergers or Other Structural Changes
[Revised Draft] – Jon Oliver and Robert Puhak, USGC Co-chairs
This report was discussed at the previous EC meeting, and was sent back to committee for revision. The USGC was charged as follows:
"Consider whether the University Senate should establish a general procedure, timeline, template and process for merging, dissolution or making structural changes to any university unit. Consider how such a process could assist the university and units in working in a deliberate, consultative and rational way so that all issues, impacts, concerns and benefits can be properly considered on a timely basis. Make recommendations on time limits, and process." USGC Co-chairs Robert Puhak and Jon Oliver summarized the current status of the report, which was still being revised. It was decided that the USGC would first focus on responding to Charge S-1410 (see next item in these minutes). No action was taken on this report.
University Structure and Governance Committee
Response to Charge S-1410 on Honorary Degree and Commencement Speaker Selection Processes
[Currently previous draft. Revised draft expected.] – Jon Oliver and Robert Puhak, USGC Co-chairs
This report was also discussed at the previous EC meeting, and was sent back to committee for revision, but had also been docketed provisionally for Senate action at the October Senate meeting at that time. The USGC was charged as follows:
"Formulate details of processes to be used to facilitate the proposal submitted to President Barchi on Charge S-1405 on Procedures for Selecting Commencement Speakers and Honorary Degree Recipients.
" It was noted that President Barchi wants this charge to be completed as soon as possible, so the USGC will work with Ann Gould to complete the report and recommendations on this matter in time for docketing for the upcoming Senate meeting.
Issues/Proposed Charges:
Proposed Charge on Deregistration of Students for Nonpayment of Term Bills
Submitted by Rudy Bell
This proposed charge was discussed. It was noted that the Senate has looked at the issue of deregistration for nonpayment of term bills, but not for online courses, which is the focus of Bell's suggested charge. Swalagin will work with Student Affairs Committee (SAC) Co-chairs Robert Barraco and Samuel Rabinowitz to develop language for a charge to be issued to the SAC with a January 2016 deadline.
6. Agenda for
October 16, 2015 Senate Meeting
The agenda for the October 16, 2015 Senate meeting was discussed. In addition to the ICAC and USGC reports docketed above, the meeting will include the RBHS report by Chancellor Strom, and a 10-minute update on Title IX by
Judith Ryan, Enterprise Risk and Institutional Compliance Officer.
Old Business
Resolution to Call for External Review of Athletics Program
- Menahem Spiegel, Budget and Finance Committee (BFC) Chair - At the previous Executive Committee meeting, Peter Gillett had asked Menahem Spiegel how the BFC would respond to
President Barchi's response
to the Senate report and recommendations on Charge S-1408 on Athletics Program Deficits. Spiegel brought to this meeting a "Resolution Calling on the University Administration to Retain External Review Consultants to Conduct a Complete Review of the Athletics Program, Including Management, Finances, Personnel, and Recruiting." The Executive Committee discussed the resolution, but declined to advance it.
From Robert Boikess, as "a matter of interest for the Senate," on
flawed evaluations of faculty teaching
- This matter was discussed briefly at the previous EC meeting, but was tabled until ICAC Chair Natalie Borisovets could be present. It was discussed again at this meeting, and it was decided that the Instruction, Curricula and Advising Committee, as well as the Faculty and Personnel Affairs Committee, would discuss the matter and come back with a potential charge at a subsequent Executive Committee meeting.
From James
The items below were discussed at the September EC meeting, and acted upon as indicated in brackets. It was decided at this meeting that additional consultation was needed with Senator Oleske, and that Jane Otto and Jerome Langer would report back to the Executive Committee on this matter after speaking with Oleske.
1. I believe that the medical residents that our
faculty supervise
, teach and direct for three to seven year periods of residency training, should be considered graduate/post graduate students of Rutgers and after completion of their residency training programs considered Rutgers Alumni.
[Jane Otto to speak with Oleske and will bring further information to the EC regarding a potential committee charge.]
2. I would ask for the continued and strong support of the RGPEC in advocating for the continued support of library services in the maintenance for repository/collections that support literature searches and access for faculty, residents and students. In particular I am concerned about any support reduction of the Smith library servicing the Newark campus of NJMS/Rutgers.
[Jane Otto to speak with Oleske and will bring further information to the EC regarding a potential committee charge.]
3. There have been several negative consequences due to the separation of the university hospital in Newark NJ from Rutgers NJMS that threatens the education and clinical training goals for students, residents and faculty at Rutgers NJMS.
[Jerry Langer to speak with Oleske and will bring further information to the EC regarding a potential committee charge.]
Follow-Up on Law Schools Merger
- Submitted by Brandon Theiss, as follows: "
Dr. Barchi in his address to the Senate on several occasions stated that the combined law schools will generate administrative cost savings.
However, both Camden Law Campus acting Dean Oberdiek and Newark Law Campus
Dean Chen, when questioned were unaware of the administrative cost savings the President was referring to and did not know where such savings could be realized. In fact, Acting Dean Oberdiek suggested that there was an increase in administrative costs associated with the merger. Further, both Deans emphasized there was not a planned reduction in faculty or staff as a result of the merger. In addition, the cost of operating the physical buildings will increase over time and in fact the immersive classroom (aka the "holodeck")
will not be paid off for several years. If the campus Deans are unaware of the sources of the savings and are not labor and
facilities, where will the savings come from and how will we know if the savings actually occurs?" The matter was discussed briefly, but no action was taken, other than Ann Gould's indicating that status reports on Senate-approved mergers need to be scheduled.
8. New Business
Statement of Support for the Faculty Senate of the University of Iowa
- A statement calling for endorsement by representatives of faculty governance systems across the CIC of the University of Iowa Faculty Senate's statement of no confidence in their Board of Regents. The statement was discussed, but no Executive Committee member was in favor of endorsing the statement.
Proposal for Senate Co-Sponsorship of Symposium on Academic Freedom
in November - Submitted by David Hughes, President of Rutgers AAUP-AFT - The EC members were e-polled for input on this matter at the previous meeting, with mixed responses being returned. Discussion continued at this meeting, at which it was decided that the Senate would continue to make statements promoting academic freedom, but would not co-sponsor this symposium.
[Peter Gillett left the meeting at 4:23 p.m. Mary Mickelsen left the meeting at 4:28 p.m.]
Proposal on "Senate Transparency"
- Submitted by Justin Schulberg, New Brunswick Student Executive Committee Member - This matter was discussed briefly, then tabled until the next Executive Committee meeting.
Resolution of Support of PTL Negotiations
- Karen Thompson handed out a previously undistributed resolution in support of PTL contract negotiations. The item was tabled until the next meeting, but will be circulated to the Executive Committee members by email prior to that meeting.
9. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 4:42 p.m.
Minutes written and submitted by,
Ken Swalagin
Executive Secretary of the University Senate

Hey, so, you haven't blogged in awhile...
So, I've stepped back from blogging for the past, oh I don't know, almost 2 years?! It hasn't been laziness or lack of motivation (desire though, I'd say); it's been more of... identity or dislike of identity rather. I kinda loathe (ha, that's an oxymoron) the connotation of blogging. Everyone and their mom has a blog. And, now that I actually am a mom (life update! ha), now there's the mom-rant blogger connotation in addition to the try-hard fashion bloggers, the make-your-life-look-better-than-it-is bloggers, the anti-vaccine-do-everything-with-oils bloggers (don't even get me started people), the people-who-are-awful-writers-and-can't-spell bloggers (you make my skin crawl)... I just didn't want to be lumped in any category.
I blog(ged) because I want(ed) to share things that I love, products that have made my life easier, ramblings, creative things... whatever I feel like. I don't blog because I think I'm awesome or want the affirmation of others, or for some sort of status. I just wanna do what I want, when I want, without other people chiming in or judging from afar. But yes, ok, I realize that's impossible! Maybe I'm worried about that though because I do that to others......... BOOM I said it. I'm judging you, other blogger! Sorry! I'm not a meany, but I am human... We all do it, so don't even act like you don't. Hey young 20-something try-hard fashion blogger with the instagrid you OBSESS over... I'm judging you, but I'm also inspired by you and am secretly proud of you for just doing you. It's a weird line, guys, between the judging and admiring for me, and some days I land on one side, and other days I land on the other side.
So... that's where I'm at. It boils down to control - I want to control what other people perceive about me. I want people to know me before they assume what I'm like - being misunderstood is maybe the worst thing in the world to me. It kills my soul to feel like someone thinks something of me that isn't true. Sigh, adulting is hard, guys.
So that's where I'm at. Moving forward, if I feel inspired to write a post, I'm gonna write it! I'm going to stop obsessing over this crisis of the mind I've been having and start being more like the 20-something (who am I kidding, almost THIRTY-SOMETHING) mama who is just doing her thing, not caring about meanies like me judging her.
Let's do this, y'all.
xo, Cait

text: Disappointed by the limited success of the original 510's replacement, the fat and weird looking 610, Datsun redesigned the body and brought back the storied nameplate in hopes to drum up a few more sales. Yes, it had the quad headlights and the little design element on the C-Pillar. But the similarities with the first-gen ended there. It may have been ok for a cheap economy car, but 510 it was not. This second-gen, which, because of their unpopularity, are rarer than the first-gen cars, has managed to hang onto its original hubcaps.
