There are certain cloths which signal the arrival of summer; a crisp seersucker or a breezy linen on a sunny day herald the height of the season.
Our Design team have hand selected a range of beautiful lightweight Italian cotton seersucker and linen cloths for our Spring/Summer 2017 collections, and our Bespoke team have been busy working on commissions utilising these summer cloths too.
Whether you're visiting us for a Bespoke or Made-to-Measure appointment, or visiting us in-store or online to browse our Ready-to-Wear collections, we know that sometimes it can be a bit daunting when you see all these different fabric options. So, we wanted to help guide you through some of the most iconic tailoring cloths; below is our guide to two you will see in our Spring/Summer 2017 tailoring collections.
If you are interested in our Bespoke and Made-to-Measure services, we hold appointments at our Redchurch Street and Bruton Place stores in London. In addition to this, Lee and Fred will be heading over to New York again from 8th – 10th May, followed by a pit-stop in Toronto from 11th – 12th May. If you would like to book a consultation, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call +44(0)20 3802 7005.
Now, the first installment in our series on demystifying iconic tailoring cloths.
A summer classic here at Timothy Everest; the origins of this cloth are rooted in 17th century India, with the name seersucker deriving from the Persian word shirushakar, meaning 'milk and sugar'. It is thought it was given this name due to the combination of a smooth and rough texture of the fabric, much like the combination of silky milk with bumpy sugar. Over time the word was anglicised to seersucker, and was first imported to Europe in the 18th century.
Seersucker rose to popularity in the United States at the turn of the 20th century when a gentleman named Joseph Haspel mass-produced the cloth in his New Orleans factory. Legend has it that Mr Haspel performed a publicity stunt to prove the effectiveness of the cloth by swimming in the ocean wearing his seersucker suit, emerging from the water, hanging it up to dry and then proceededing to wear it to an official banquet dinner that evening, looking as smart as ever. if that doesn't sell it to you, we don't know what will.
Technically speaking, seersucker is most commonly woven from cotton, however you can now also find silk, linen and synthetic variations of the cloth too. At our Bespoke house we most frequently use the cotton varieties, and there are some examples below of commissions where clients have selected beautiful seersucker cloths from the Italian mill, Solbiati.
The iconic 'puckered' effect of the fabric is achieved by a slack-tension weave, pulling individual warp yarns (the are the ones that run vertically through a cloth) tighter than others. This results in the 'rough' and 'smooth' stripes, which are normally contrast colours. However, you can now find other pattern variations; for SS17 we have included a beautiful Navy Prince of Wales check seersucker, available in an unstructured single breased and double breasted jacket option.
Seersucker is lightweight and breathable, which makes it perfect for warmer climes. An added benefit is that it doesn't crease, which makes it ideal for travel.

If you can't wear a linen suit in summer, when can you? Linen is perhaps the earliest known constructed textile; it will take an entire book to explore the history of the cloth so we'll keep it as short and sweet as possible. To put it into some perpective, archaeologists in Georgia discovered 34,000 year old flax fibers that had been dyed bright colours by our forefathers.
Linen comes from the flax plant, which is a tall, reed-like plant with long fibers which make it easy to spin into thread. The fibers are extracted in a process called 'retting the flax', whereby the plants are picked and left to soak in a tub of water or stream until the hard outside of the stem rots away, revealing the long, soft fibers underneath. The flax plant is native to many places around the world, from Western Europe to Northern Africa, and therefore it is a cloth deep rooted in many cultures.
Today, linen is frequently used for summer tailoring, as it offers exceptional coolness and freshness in hot and humid conditions.
There are some perceived drawbacks of linen, most notably how it creases; with casual shirtings this can be part of the appeal, but for a beautifully tailored suit it can effect the line of the silhouette. We often used a linen/cotton blend cloth, which provides the comfort and appearance of linen, with the cotton adding a bit more body to the cloth (ideal for tailoring) and reduces the creasing.

This invention relates generally to graphics controllers, and more particularly to compressing frames within a graphics controller.
A graphics controller converts image data and instructions into pixels and stores the pixels in graphics or system memory until time to refresh the image on the display device, at which point the pixels are retrieved from memory and sent to the display device. When the application that is generating the image is idle, the image being displayed does not change from one refresh cycle to the next. However, the graphics controller continues to fetch the corresponding pixels in the memory for every refresh cycle. As a result, the amount of power consumed by fetching the pixels from memory is the same whether the pixels are for an idle or an active image since the power consumption is proportional to memory fetch bandwidth.

In the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that logical, mechanical, electrical, functional and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims.
The operations of a computer system display adapter 100 that compresses and decompresses idle frames according to one embodiment of the present invention are described with reference to FIG. 1. The compression operations are described in further detail in conjunction with FIGS. 2 and 3. As is common with add-in display adapters, display adapter 100 includes a graphics controller 101, such as a microprocessor, and graphics memory 103. In other embodiments, the graphics controller 101 may be embedded in the motherboard that holds the central processing unit and system memory may used as graphics memory 103.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the graphics controller 101 is notified by a display driver 105 that the display driver is idle, i.e., the image on a display device 113 is not changing. When the graphics controller 101 receives the idle notification, all frames it subsequently receives from the display driver 105 are idle frames 107 until it is notified that the display driver 105 is no longer idle. Generally, a few pixel values will be predominate in an idle frame. The graphics controller 101 determines the pixel values that represent a pre-determined percentage of the total idle frame and compresses those values. The resulting compressed idle frames are stored in the graphics memory 103 (illustrated by arrow 109), resulting in lower power consumption by the graphics memory 103. When it is necessary to refresh the image on a display device 113, the graphics controller 101 reads the compressed idle frame from the graphics memory 103 and decompresses it into the full frame 111, which is displayed by the display device 113.
In an alternate embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the graphics controller 101 may also compress non-idle frames 115 when it receives an override indicator from the display driver 105. The override indicator is set in the display driver 105 at the application level when an application program is aware that the changes between frames is minimal, for example, only if the cursor blinks or the clock is updated. Although the following details of the operation of the graphic controller 101 are described in terms of idle frames, the graphics control 101 handles non-idle frames in the same manner when the override indicator has been received.
The greater the color depth of an image, the more bits required to represent the color of a pixel. The invention is described herein with reference to "true color," in which each pixel is defined by three bytes, with each byte representing the value for each of the red, blue and green color components that define the color of a single pixel. Therefore, each pixel byte can have a value of 0-255. One of skill in the art will immediately understand the application of the invention to color depths requiring fewer or greater number of bits and the invention is not limited by its description in terms of true color. It also will be appreciated that the invention is independent of the display resolution.
The graphics controller 101 evaluates two idle frames to determine which pixel byte values predominate the values in the idle frame and creates an encoding look-up table from the results as illustrated in FIG. 2. Upon notification that the display driver 105 is idle, the graphic controller 101 initializes a first series of counters 200 (counter 1-1 201, 1-2 203 . . . 1-N 205), where N is dependent on the current color depth for the display adapter. Each counter 200 is associated with a subset of the possible byte values, with the values in a set usually in numerical sequence although the invention is not so limited. So, for example, assuming a range of values from 0-255, if N is thirty-two, each counter will count eight different byte values, such as 0-7, 8-5, etc.
When an idle frame is received from the display driver 105, the graphics controller 101 evaluates each pixel byte to determine with which counter its value is associated and updates the appropriate counter by one. Once all the pixel bytes within the frame have been evaluated, the graphics controller 101 selects X counters having the highest counts i.e., associated with the byte values that occurred the most frequently in the frame (illustrated by arrow 207).
The graphics controller 101 initializes a second series of counters 210 (counter 2-1 211, 2-2 213 . . . 2-M 215) to determine which byte values within the top X counters occur the most frequently. Each counter 210 is associated with only one byte value. Continuing with the example, assuming X equals four, M equals thirty-two, i.e., four counters times eight values per counter. It will be appreciated that the graphics controller 101 can utilize the same structures for counters 200 and the counters 210.
Upon receiving another idle frame, the graphics controller 101 evaluates the pixel bytes, updates the counters 210 as appropriate, and determines if the top Z counters 210 satisfy a threshold Y. If so, the graphics controller 101 assigns a code 227 to each of the Z byte values and creates an entry 221, 223, 225 in an encoding look-up table 220 containing the code 227 and the associated byte value 229 (illustrated by arrow 217). Thus, for example, the graphics controller 101 would only compress an idle frame if the top four (Z) values represented at least 75% (Y) of the total different values present in the idle frame. It will be appreciated that the parameters N, M, X and Z are pre-determined for each available color depth of the display adapter 100, while Y is a pre-determined percentage of the total byte values or other measurement of the predominance of certain byte values. The various values for the parameters N, M, X, Y, and Z may be determined through experiments.
The graphics controller 101 uses the look-up table 220 to compress subsequent idle frames. In an embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, four different compression modes are used to compress a true color idle frame given a graphics memory 103 read/write block size of 128 bits. Each compressed pixel byte is represented by a two-bit code. One of skill in the art will immediately conceive of alternate embodiments that use other code lengths and various algorithms to assign the code values and these alternate embodiments are considered within the scope of the invention.
Each block of 128 bits is encoded with a two-bit mode field 301, a variable length encoding key 303, and a variable length data field 305. The pixel bytes, compressed and/or uncompressed, are stored in the data field 305. Each bit in the encoding key 303 represents one of the stored pixel bytes. A zero-bit indicates that the corresponding pixel byte is uncompressed and a one-bit indicates that the corresponding pixel byte is compressed. It will be appreciated that the exemplary block encodings shown in FIG. 3 are not intended to limit the invention and one of skill in the art will readily conceive of other encodings that are equally applicable and are considered within the scope of the invention.
Each compression mode is designed to encode a different range of compressed pixel bytes within a sequence. If fewer than four pixel bytes in a sequence of fifteen can be compressed, mode 0 (00) is used and none of the fifteen pixel bytes in data field 305 are compressed, resulting in all zeros in the encoding field 303 of block 300. Table 1 specifies the various combinations (patterns) of compressed and uncompressed pixel bytes that can be stored in a 128-bit block for each of the compression modes 1 through 3.
Mode 1 (01)
Mode 2 (10)
Mode 3 (11)
(data 104 bits; max bytes 22)
(data 96 bits; max bytes 30)
(data 99 bits; max bytes 38)
It will be appreciated that for some combinations, not all the encoding bits in the encoding field 303 will be used since fewer pixel bytes will be stored in data field 305 than there are encoding bits. Because the mode field 301 indicates the length of the data field 305, during decompression the graphics controller 101 will recognize that it has parsed all the pixel bytes from the data field 305 even though some encoding bits have not been processed. Similarly, for some combinations the last one to seven bits of the data field 305 may be unused and the corresponding encoding bit set to zero, but the graphics controller 101 will recognize that the unused bits do not represent an uncompressed pixel byte, which requires eight bits.
Next, the particular methods performed by a graphics controller to perform the operations for the embodiments of the invention described above are described with reference to flowcharts in FIGS. 4A-C, in which executable instructions are represented by blocks 401 until 431, blocks 441 until 471, and block 481 until 499, respectively. Describing the methods by reference to a flowchart enables one skilled in the art to develop such instructions to carry out the methods within suitably configured processors, such as graphics controller 101. The executable instructions may be written in a computer programming language or may be embodied in firmware logic. Furthermore, it is common in the art to speak of executable instructions as taking an action or causing a result. Such expressions are merely a shorthand way of saying that execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform an action or a produce a result.
Referring first to FIG. 4A, the acts to be performed by a graphics controller executing a two-pass setup method 400 that creates the encoding look-up table 220 are described. The setup method 400 is invoked when the graphics controller receives the idle or override notification from the display driver. The setup method 400 initializes the pixel value counters (block 401) and waits to receive the first idle frame (block 403). For each pixel byte in the idle frame, the method 400 performs pass-one by determining (block 407) and incrementing (block 409) the appropriate pass-one counter. Once all of the pixel bytes within the idle frame have been evaluated in pass-one, the setup method 400 selects the top X pass-one counters (block 413) and initializes the pass-two counters (block 415). When the method 400 receives another idle frame (block 417), the method performs pass-two by determining which, if any counter, is associated with each pixel byte (block 421) and incrementing the appropriate pass-two counter if the byte value is to be counted (block 423).
Once the second idle frame has been evaluated in pass-two, the setup method 400 determines the top Z pass-two counters (block 427) and determines if the percentage of the top Z pixel values is greater than the threshold Y (block 429). If so, the lookup table is created at block 431. Otherwise, the idle frames will not be compressed.
FIG. 4B illustrates an compression method 440 that uses the look-up table created by method 400 to compress incoming idle frames before they are stored in graphics memory. Each pixel byte in the frame is examined at block 441 to determine if its value appears in the look-up table (block 443). If so, the corresponding code in the table is stored in the data field of the encoded block (block 445), the corresponding encoding bit is set to one (block 447), and a compressed counter is incremented (block 449). If the pixel byte is not to be compressed, the byte value is stored in the data field (block 451), the corresponding encoding bit is set to zero if not already zero (block 453, shown in phantom), and an uncompressed counter is incremented (block 455).
At block 457, the compression method 440 determines if the current combination of uncompressed and compressed pixel bytes matches a mode pattern. If it does, the mode, encoding and data fields of the block are completed (block 459) and the resulting encoded block is written to memory (block 461). If more pixel bytes remain to be evaluated (block 463), the compression method 440 returns to block 441. When all pixels in the idle frame have been stored in the graphics memory, the compression method 440 terminates.
Assuming the current combination does not fit a mode pattern at block 457, the compression method 440 determines if more pixel bytes remain to be evaluated (block 465). If not, the encoded block will be stored as uncompressed mode 0 so any existing codes in the data field are replaced by their values to uncompress the pixel bytes (block 467), the mode and encoding fields are set to zeros (block 469), and the resulting encoded block is written to memory (block 471).
FIG. 4C illustrates a decompression method 480 that corresponds to the compression method 480 of FIG. 4B. When the graphics controller receives a command to refresh the display screen, it reads the idle screen from memory as a sequence of encoded blocks (block 481). The mode field of the encoded block is examined to determine the compression mode of the block. If the mode is zero (block 483), the pixel bytes in the data field of the encoded block are uncompressed and output at block 485. If the mode is not zero, the method 480 determines the length of the encoding key based on the mode (block 489) and begins a decode block process represented by blocks 491 through 499. Each bit in the encoding key is read to determine if the corresponding pixel byte is compressed (block 493). If it is, the two-bit code is read from the data field and the corresponding value in the look-up table is stored in a buffer (block 495). Otherwise, the value is read directly from the data field and stored in the buffer (block 497). When all the data has been parsed from the data field, the buffer is output at block 485. If all the encoded blocks for the frame have been processed (block 487), then the decompression method 480 terminates.
FIGS. 5A and 5B are examples of logic that perform the operations of the invention. The logic embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5A generates a idle notification 515 to the graphics controller 102 if at least one of several system components is idle, as indicated by a corresponding idle signal of zero. The logic 500 receives a command stream (CS) idle signal 501, a memory interface (MI) idle signal 503, a pixel pipeline (Pix) idle signal 505, and a text pipe line (Tex) idle signal 507. The logic 500 can choose to use only a subset of the idle signals in generating the idle notification 515 by outputting a one from a corresponding mask 509. The output of the mask 509 and the inverted idle signal is input into a set of NAND gates 511. The output from all the NAND gates 511 are input to an AND gate 513. When the idle notification 515 is zero, the graphics controller 101 knows that at least of the chosen system components is idle and proceeds with the idle frame compression as described above.
In one embodiment, the byte values to be compressed are determined using the logic embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5B. Each pixel 521 in a incoming frame is separated into its RGB bytes 523 and the value of each byte is input into a set of N comparators 527, where it is compared with a set of byte value ranges 525 to determine which of a set of N accumulators 529 is associated with its value. The counts from the accumulators 529 are fed into a statistics register 531. Once all the pixel bytes in the current frame have been counted by accumulators 529, the statistics register 531 determines the top X accumulators 529 and causes identifiers for the top X accumulators to be held in X comparators 529. If the current frame is the first idle frame, the byte values associated with the top X accumulators are used as the ranges 525 for the second idle frame. If the current frame is the second idle frame, the identifiers held in comparators 529 correspond to the top X byte values, which are subsequently stored in a set of X registers 535 and output 537 to build the encoding look-up table.
The following descriptions of FIGS. 6 and 7 are intended to provide an overview of computer hardware configurations in which embodiments of the invention can be implemented, but is not intended to limit the applicable environments.
FIG. 6 shows a embedded graphics and memory chipset 601 containing a graphics controller 603 and a memory interface 605. The chipset 601 is coupled to a processor 607 through a system bus 609. The memory interface 605 couples to system memory 611 to provide memory access to both the graphics controller 603 and the processor 607. The graphics chipset 601 incorporates the idle frame compression of the present invention to compress and store idle frames in the system memory and to retrieve and decompress the idle frames for display upon a device display 613.
FIG. 7 shows one example of a conventional computer system containing a processor 701 and memory 709 that is coupled to the processor 705 by a system bus 723. Memory 709 can be dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and can also include static RAM (SRAM). A bridge 725 couples the system bus 723 to an input/output (I/O) bus 707, which further couples a non-embedded display controller 711 that incorporates the present invention, non-volatile storage 715, and an I/O controller 717 to the processing unit 705. A modem or other network interface 703 may also be coupled to the I/O bus 707 to connect the computer system 701 to a network 721. The display controller 711 controls in the conventional manner a display on a display device 713 which can be a cathode ray tube (CRT) or liquid crystal display. The input/output devices 719 can include a keyboard, disk drives, printers, a scanner, and other input and output devices, including a mouse or other pointing device. The display controller 711 and the I/O controller 717 can be implemented with conventional well known technology. The input/output device 719 may also include a digital image input device, such as a digital camera, which is coupled to an I/O controller 717 in order to allow images from the digital image input device to be input into the computer system 701. The non-volatile storage 715 is often a magnetic hard disk, an optical disk, or another form of storage for large amounts of data. Some of this data is often written, by a direct memory access process, into memory 709 during execution of software in the computer system 701. One of skill in the art will immediately recognize that the term "computer-readable medium" includes any type of storage device that is accessible by the processor 705 and also encompasses a carrier wave that comprises a data signal.
It will be appreciated that the computer system 701 is one example of many possible computer systems which have different architectures. A typical computer system for the present invention will usually include, in addition to the graphics controller, at least a processor, memory, and a bus coupling the memory to the processor.
Compression of idle frames within a graphics controller has been described. Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement which is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention.

I do not own Ella Enchanted. It belongs to Gail Carson Levine.
A/N: I'm on an AU-ish kick right now, so expect a lot of those, and then canon-fics. Sometimes, I just need to switch it up.
Another thrust of her hips; another moan, punctuated with screams, yes yes yesyes y e s.
It was all she could say, all she could do besides claw at the sheets beneath her and scream and cry out to the gods in the sky. Gods. How terribly comical. Olga chuckled, nails digging into her hips and dragging downward, ooh break skin break skin brea break my sk in. of course she wanted it to hurt. Of course she wanted pain, pain like what Olga felt .day. you're a princess, you're a princess and here you are, on your back in my bed taking it like a tavern whore. Who knew big girls still played with toys. A gasp tore through her throat, the toy between Olga's hips was suddenly the only thing the princess beneath her could care about, and in a striking instant, she was cumming, back arching, sweat dripping off unhealthily pale skin. She was sick. They were sick. Sick sick sick sick sick. But there was no stopping, no cease and desist. I could get death for this. Oh well maybe I don't care, dear.
"Don't you have a castle to get back to?"
Sardonic as always, Olga pulled the filthy sheets over her, watching with sick fascination as Hattie tried desperately to fix her sex hair. Honey blonde curls flew every which way, damp with sweat and somewhat sticky from where cum-stained fingers had gripped it and pulled.
"I do, and don't you have a shattered life to get back to?"
The smirk was evident in her voice, and Olga wanted to tear her to pieces for it. Of course, she did a good job of reducing her to a pathetic mass of moans and groans, but that was a different story.
"As a matter of fact, I do, little girl."
Hattie scoffed, "Not so little when I slip my head between your legs, hmm?"
Olga smirked, no, not so little. The bitch was next in line to be queen. Her bastard of a brother had taken to finding love in all the wrong places, and Hattie was slated to marry a littleshitprince that made Olga's skin crawl.
"He's not good enough for you," Olga declared, pulling the sheets over her head and turning over onto her side. She was hiding. Hiding like she hid herself from the world after losing her husband and her fortune. She was a mess. At least Hattie thought she was a hot one.
"I knew you would say that," Hattie finally turned around, grimacing when she touched the hickies Olga had unceremoniously left on her neck.
"It's because it's true, I'm right and I'll always be right."
"You're not my mother, you can't decide who's good for me and who isn't."
"Some would say I'm not good for you."
"Everyone would say that."
Hattie slid back into bed, "Remember when we first met? At the ball? How desperate and charming you were." She slid beside Olga, pulling the sheet off her, and placing a kiss on her lips.
"I just wanted to do bad things to you." Olga gasped against the kiss, and Hattie couldn't help but smirk.
"My mother has her concerns about you."
Olga pulled Hattie on top of her, hands gripping her hips, teeth finding their way into the kiss. She bit Hattie's bottom lip, and the blonde princess groaned from pain.
"I wonder if she knows," Olga let her head fall back, offering Hattie the chance to claim her neck. Hattie took it, devouring the pale flesh eagerly, licking sucking biting; g.
"I know she does."
Blood dripped from Olga's neck, and Hattie bit down, claiming her fucked up Dame as hers, and hers alone.
"My dirty little princess," Olga gasped, as Hattie kissed lower, teasing her flesh with her tongue.
"Your dirty little whore."

The Cinder Cone is a treehouse that is unabashedly focused on helping you have an excellent and fun time. This is a multi-platform treehouse that is equipped with its very own suspension bridge. As if that weren't cool enough, this treehouse even has its own full-sized skate bowl and a wood-fired hot tub.
This indulgent and playful treehouse was developed by writer and photographer Foster Huntington, who started working on it a year ago and completed the project within a year with the help of friends. The treehouse consists of two primary structures attached to Douglas Fir trees using a Garnier limb and a steel bolt -- a setup that ensures minimal damage to the tree.
The lower structure is a work space, while the upper structure functions as private sleeping quarters. However the skate bowl has to be the highlight of this fun and modern treehouse.

I've seen some speedy 25's and they look a little small, so perhaps a 30 then? I remember seeing Heidi on the hills with a speedy which looked to be the perfect size - anyone know which it was?

Hi!I am a new runner and have signed up for a bunch of upcoming events. I live in San Jose and was wondering if you have any training sessions out in this area? What does your group entail as far as commitment? I am not sure if driving up the peninsula would be beneficial to me but I also feel this would be great to train and learn. Also do you do triathlon training?
Thanks for your interest in the WOW Team. At present we are meeting at Sawyer Camp every other Saturday, trying to involve committed women who want to train for at least an hour at a good clip. If this seems to fit, we are there tomorrow and you are welcome to try us out for free.
Hi, I run 15 minutes only. My running is not so fast, I am just trying to keep moving. Is there a program that I can attend or do you recommend me to work on my running till I can join a meetup exercise?
Oh please come try the WOW Team! You will do great! We only ask that you can be on your feet for 60 minutes. You could walk the whole thing or, as many women do, walk 1 minute, run one minute, then walk again. When they get tired they just walk to complete the 60 minutes. You can do this!
I am interested in attending the track meet-up this Wednesday.
It would essentially be my first run and I just wanted to check-in if you think this Wednesday's meet would be fitting for me. Additionally, I notice it says that members participate for free. Would I be considered a member if I am part of this meet up group? Thanks! Alejandra
Thanks for saying hello! You are welcome to join us for track on Wed. morning. Women work at different levels and newcomers get a bit more attention since they are new!
Meetup is not our official website. It is a means to let people know about our club and our workouts and for women to RSVP. So, you are not a member unless you pay to become a member. To join, take a look at the tabs on the top of the website for details and subscription choices.
That said, your first visit is free so, just come and try us out! Please do RSVP on meetup. You don't have to pay anything, just confirm that you are joining us. To Fitness and Friends, Coach Stephanie
I'm interested in joining your See Jane Run Half Marathon & 5K Training Program and have a few questions: What is the cost? What is included in the cost? + I live in Burlingame …Will there be training in my area for this program? Advanced thanks, Maricel
Hi Maricel and thank you for contacting me about the WOW Team. Please take a look at our website for a few different ways you can join us. I think the best way would be the No frills weekend package since you live in Burlingame. However, read the details and then make an educated decision.
WOW trains in San Mateo every other weekend (on Saturday). You would have that to keep you going. You can also join us for other workouts listed on the calendar, on our website.
If you haven't taken our survey, please do that so that we can talk for free for the 15 minute consult. All of this information is on the Go WOW Team website at different tabs. Check out those tabs! – Coach Stephanie
Hi Coach Stephanie – I'm trying to figure out what I get if I purchase the Neighborhood Membership. Do I have to pay extra for each workout or is it all included or what? BTW I'm in Contra Costa County. What do you offer out here? Thanks, Linda
Thanks for contacting me! When you pay, your membership starts at that time and there are no extra fees for regular workouts. For a breakdown of exactly what you get, please look at our chart to compare memberships. Here's the link.
After the first month however, you will be automatically charged a monthly credit card fee of $27.95 to continue your membership. So, in order for your membership to continue, you would need to continue paying your subscription. Your rollover fee is good for as long as you remain a member and will never go up in price. You remain a member forever but if you drop your subscription you may be charged a higher monthly fee in the future.
As for the training runs in Contra Costa County, yes, we alternate areas and use Lafayette Reservoir, Walden Park, Arbolado Park, all in your area, as well as the Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda area. Take a look on our meetup site at http://meetup.com/gowowteam to view our current workouts and how they alternate. I hope this answers your questions and look forward to meeting you soon!
I see there is a charge for an individual walk, and then free to members. However, I don't see how much it costs to become a member? Thanks, Rita
There are several options for joining the WOW Team and the details are listed on the website tab drop-down menu under Contact or Join Us. Here is the link
I am interested in signing up for the Oakland Run Fest 1/2 Marathon Success Clinic on January 7.
Another question: Does this price include the training and support that I had last year, when I signed up to run with WOW for the Oakland Half Marathon?
I am excited to join this WOW training program because I haven't been running consistently, and need some extra support to train for the Oakland Half Marathon in March. Let me know what I should do and expect. Thanks! –Lily
Welcome back Lily! The clinic at Chabot is additional to the 12 week training program and is $99 for that day. If you want to include the training program and attend the clinic you can choose from several options from a discount to totally free for the clinic based on your membership in WOW. Here are the details
Hi, Not sure if this is the right way to ask a question but thought I would give it a shot! I would like to participate in some of your weekend runs for the Oakland Marathon training and am wondering if the drop in rates posted are the same regardless of time of year based on the posting copied here from your website. Am I off base with this or is this only for members? Thank you for your time, Nicolette
Membership in WOW has several tiers. With the basic tier you can drop in and participate at random. We have several women who use the drop-in method. In 2012, weekday workouts for drop-ins will cost $10 and drop-in weekend workouts will be $7. WOW requests that you pre-pay and RSVP for these workouts at our meetup site.
Nicolette, I would recommend the weekend package that also includes a fabulous WOW T-shirt (or cap) and online learning module 1 From Dream to Reality. It's a better deal, overall, and simplifies the process of having to pay each time you run with us. Here is the link.
Hi there, – I'm curious whether the weekend runs for this training program will be on Saturdays or Sundays. Also, where will the runs start? Many thanks,
Thank you for your interest Miriam. Here are your answers. WOW runs on Saturday in San Mateo and Sunday in the greater East Bay (including Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Alameda, and Walnut Creek. Our East Bay Workouts are in different locations every weekend. You may look on our calendar on this website to view the weekend locations through the end of January. I'm still working on the rest of the year but will have the weekday and weekend schedule finalized in the next few weeks.
We also do a practice run on the ORF course. The runs start at different locations and most of those are also listed on our website. Check it out! Go WOW Team!
I don't understand why you charge a fee. Can you explain why I have to pay to run? Is this a business?
– Kathy
I appreciate your comments and, yes I am trying to run my
meetups in a business format. I am willing to put in the
time to organize meetups and keep them happening.
may also be aware that my paying members are covered under the RRCA Insurance Policy and I am a certified coach and personal
And finally, it costs money to post these meetups.
If I can reach the goal of coordinating workout opportunities
for women in the Bay Area, 365 days a year, it will not be
without costs. In my vision of the WOW Team, we will have
quality workouts, reliable information, basic liability for
leaders and injury coverage for members, and a common site for
all the workouts. Additionally, the group members will have a
sense of belonging and of commitment to each other.
This will take work and I am willing to put in the time.
However, I need the support from my members as well. This will
come from their time and/or their fees. If you are interested
in being involved you are always welcome to contact me and talk
over the details. The drop-in fee is as much a way to get a
commitment as it is to cover the insurance liability incurred
with each person.
When and if you are interested in reconsidering The WOW Team,
just contact me through the app to the right or through facebook. You're always welcome. – Best, Coach Stephanie
I am looking for a walking group for my 78 age year old mother, who is in good shape. She can walk several hours at an easy pace.
Do you know any appropriate groups? She is not looking for an kind of competitive group. She has a personal trainer, so doesn't need a focus on fitness, just some friendly people to get together during the day and enjoy the East Bay hills with. – thanks, Barbara
Hi Barbara, Sorry I can't help you beyond saying that, depending on your mother's fitness level, she might want to walk with us.
We don't always walk in the hills and some of us run pretty fast. That said, we have Saturday Morning Walks at Lake Merritt with Christy, every Saturday, 5:30 Walks on Wed night that are co-ed, at Lake Merritt, and some of our weekend workouts include walkers, too, depending on who shows up.
Our group's ages range from 25 – 70 and the focus is definitely fitness. My 70 year old woman finished her first half marathon this spring and was mighty proud of herself!
The issue I see with your mother is that she is older so will not be comfortable walking/hiking with many younger, faster groups. And, if she wants some kind of regularity, most groups aren't as organized as we are at the WOW Team.
A first visit to our group is free. She may want to try us out. You may want to come with her.
I wish you luck and would also welcome your mother becoming a "walking leader" with us, to accommodate older (or less speedy women) who might want to join her. My dream is that the WOW Team could accommodate all kinds of women but I find that very few women step up to volunteer as leaders. – Good luck! Coach Stephanie Atwood
I'm looking for a training group for Nike Marathon and I was certainly interested in your program. I love to run, but I'm not very fast. I need a group to work with to keep me focused.
But I was concerned about the fee—is it $199 for 12 weeks? And then how much is it after the 12 weeks is over.
One time fee of $199 for 12 weeks, start any time. Subscription rolls over into $24.95/month for as long as you remain a WOW Member. You have access to all workouts, everywhere.
Please read the details below as that question is very similar to yours. Thanks! – Coach Stephanie (6-19-2011)
Hello Stephanie – I learned about the WOW team through Weight Watchers and I'm interested in joining. I run 3x a week and walk as part of my commute each day. I also work out at my gym a few days a week and of course, attend Weight Watchers each week! (Lifetime member following the points plus program) Can you tell me how I can join? I did sign up for Road Runners Club of America – so am I a member yet?
You are not a member of WOW yet. When you join our club, you also become a member of RRCA but it doesn't work the other way! To become a member of the WOW Team, you need to go to our website at http://gowowteam.com/join-us
The initial membership is for 12 weeks and includes as many regular workouts as you can attend. WOW currently offers 9 workouts a week, throughout the Bay Area.
Your membership also includes a one-on-one consult with me to help determine where you are in your fitness at this time and establish realistic goals for the future. I am certified as a personal trainer and running coach and find this early orientation invaluable in creating success for new members.
You will get a very cool WOW fuchsia t-shirt and BPA Free water bottle, the Weekly Pep Talk newsletter, discounts on races, daily training programs for races from a 5K to a marathon and more!
The reason for the 12 week, initial investment is that WOW wants you to look at the importance and value of fitness. We want you to make a commitment and get all the pieces together for the greatest possibility of success. Are you worth it? You bet!
The other option you have to participate is to join our meetup site at http://meetup.com/gowowteam and drop-in. This way you pay as you go. Prices are on the website.
We also invite you to try a free workout of your choice, before you determine if you want to join or not. Just RSVP by filling out the form to your right. (4-17-2011)
I'm interested in joining in for the Emeryville Walk-it challenge. I understand that members can participate in the walk-it day on May 22nd for $15. How can I qualify for that? Thanks!
If you are a "member" of WOW you are eligible for the discount price to register for the Walk-It 5k on May 22. You must have signed up for the 12 week program to qualify. Otherwise you are considered a drop-in. Members must fill out a paper form, rather than apply online. I've included the attachment for you. Just bring it with you to a workout or mail to the address on the form.
Is there a safe place to put my stuff while we run? Nicole
Hi Nicole, we are talking about early morning track in SF at Kezar. Generally, we can leave stuff out (on a bench on the track) and not worry about it. I bring a duffel so you can put keys, etc. in it. It is probably best to lock things in your car but, if you are taking a bus, or carrying clothes, etc. to change in to, let's talk. Fortunately, there aren't many people around at that time of the morning!
Can't find where to pay on the WOW website. Can you guide me where to go? Thanks Lesley
Hi Lesley – On the WOW Website there is a tab at the top with JOIN US. Check that tab and the menu attached or, just follow this Join us. Thanks for asking!(3-7-2011).
Hello! I think you provide a valuable service, but I was wondering: do you guys do regular (i.e. strength training, etc.) boot camps too? I did the Oakland half-marathon last year, and had a great time, but did some damage to my knee in the process, so I'm looking for a good alternative. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you! Jill
Hi Jilll, It is becoming more and more clear that strength training and endurance need to come before speed. Your question is very appropriate and, yes, we have added a boot camp component to our weeknight workouts. We focus on strength, core, and flexibility in addition to running on weeknights. Please check our main calendar at gowowteam.com/calendar or go to the calendar tab on this website for the different levels available and their locations. (3-6-2011)
I've been meaning to join one of your workout groups for ever but admit I'm nervous. I walk somewhat regularly (3-4x week for an hour) but am really heavy and have an achy back. I need to get stronger to overcome the effects of age and weight on my body.
You have hit the nail on the head! It appears that larger, heavier women are afraid to join a walk/run club because they are not sure they can be successful. And, when they don't join, the prophecy is fulfilled! Please give us a try.
We now have our walk-only group on Tuesday morning and 15 minute Boot Camp on Wednesday specifically geared to women who are larger or out of shape. Our Sunday workouts, too, include walkers. Your first visit is free. Why not give us a try! We will only get the number of walkers joining us when women, like you, are brave enough to come out and give it a go. My dream for the WOW Team is fitness forever, for ALL WOMEN. Thanks! (posted 3-5-2011)
Is the Tuesday morning also $1 to try? I would like to try but
and see if is something that i would like to do. Also would the
price be cheaper if i only wanted to do the Tuesday morning
walks and not the bootcamp?
Thank you for your interest in walking with Christy. You are welcome to show up on Tuesday morning and just walk, for the first try. No money is necessary. See what you think. Please RSVP so she knows to look for you.
What I have found is that, when people have no money involved in their commitment, many of them stop participating.
My goal is to get you thinking lifetime fitness and good health. Your monetary commitment will help to get you out there, getting fit, and using calories.
Therefore, I will return your money $1 each workout, up to 24 times (a full 12 weeks) if you complete it with us. You are also welcome to join our Sunday walks through the WOW Team. Christy can tell you more about these when you walk together.
Finally, we offer scholarships and financial aid based on helping out in other ways. If you have more time than money, tell me what you can offer us in a trade and, we can go that way, too.
I hope this helps and hope to meet you one of these days. – Regarding Oakland Women's Walking and Weight Loss for Large Gals (posted 2-26-2011)
Was wondering what else you'll be doing besides walking around the Lake; or it that it?
On the early morning workout, it is only walking, brisk walking. On the 15 Minute Boot Camp in the evening, it is a combination of strength, core, flexibility during the boot camp and cardio through walking. We'll finish with some stretching. – Regarding Oakland Women's Walking and Weight Loss for Large Gals (posted 2-25-2011)
Are you still having your groups on Sunday @ 9:00? Last weekend I went to Camp Sawyer @ 9:00 and no one was there.
Oh dear! I'm sorry we missed you! We meet at Sawyer Camp every other Saturday! We meet in the East Bay on Sunday. Weekend workouts starting in February will happen at 8:00.
The WOW Team is growing and has workouts in several locations at the same time. In March we will be starting up Saturday workouts in Contra Costa County.
I'm sending you some information about our group. Also, please feel free to call, after filling out the survey. Let's talk about your goals or any other fitness questions you have.
Be sure also, to check our website and facebook. Also join us on our main meetup site, please (posted 2-2-2011)
I am very interested in joining the Wow team; just wanted to find out if the there is a fee each time you meet?
Thank you for your interest in the WOW Team. We are an ongoing club that meets year round. There are different ways to join and one of them is to drop-in, paying as you go. The other way is to join our 12 week program that rolls over, after that, into a monthly subscription. You can then attend any of the workouts at any of the locations throughout the Bay Area.
The purpose of the 12 week program is to meet with each woman, through a clinic or an individual personal training session, to assess her fitness level now and set a realistic fitness goal to accomplish within that 12 week period – Something for her that is realistic and doable within 12 weeks. All of the resources of the WOW Team are available to help her reach her individual goal.
I'm sending some attachments your way so you can understand us better. Please fill out our free survey and let's talk.
We encourage all women to join us and offer expertise, friendship, and organization to make your fitness expectations a reality. (posted 2-2-2011)
I'm looking for a walking group in the Piedmont Avenue area. Can you direct me? I am not a competitive runner, but want to walk for exercise.
You've come to the right place! The WOW Team definitely wants and encourages walkers. That said, we want fitness walkers, women who will push themselves for an hour. If you are ready to walk for fitness, get your heart pumping, build up a sweat, and breathe hard, WOW will take you right now! Your pace doesn't matter but your attitude is what it's all about. Your first visit is free so, what do you have to lose?
Does the WOW Team offer aid stations for the long runs?
The WOW Team provides aid for workouts over 60 minutes (water and sports drink) and for long runs/workouts over 2 hours or 10 miles we offer snacks, sports drink, and water. We also recommend you bring your own drink and snack to be prepared and in case our "stuff" doesn't sit well in your stomach.
I am a new member to your WOW team! Well I signed up nearly a month ago, but have not yet made it
to an event. Could you explain how this works? I gather there is a monthly membership fee? or an event fee? or drop-in fee?
Membership in WOW has several tiers. With the basic tier you can drop in and participate at random. We have several women who use the drop-in method. In 2011, track workouts for drop-ins will cost $10 and drop-in weekend workouts will be $7. WOW requests that you pre-pay and RSVP for these workouts at http://meetup.com/gowowteam
Tier 2 brings you into training mode. WOW has chosen specific events to train for. These will include:
The Oakland Running Festival Half Marathon and 5K in March
- h
The See Jane Run Half Marathon and 5K in June
The San Francisco Half Marathon and Progressive Marathon/5K in July
The San Jose Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon in October
The Nike Women's Half Marathon in October
The CIM Marathon and Relay in December
Additionally, the WOW Team sponsors certain events throughout the year including:
The UN Peace Race 5K/10K Walk and Run in September
Celebrate the 60's All Comers Track Meet in January (2012)
What is the difference between members and non-members? Just signing up on line?
WOW Members have joined us through a subscription and have access to all WOW benefits including a t-shirt, water bottle, weekday and weekend workouts, live member-only calls, race discounts, and more. To join WOW go to the tab on this site or click here.
Non-members receive the Weekly Pep Talk, are able to attend our free live call once a month, and may pay as they go to join WOW workouts.
I am also interested to hear about your Oakland marathon training. Has that started? I would love to hop aboard and start working out with you.
Yup, it's happening! Join us soon. Register here for the training.
Also, how does the weekly pep talk work? It is like a webcast call/ talk?
Answer coming soon…
… I'm looking to join a running group. I live in Tracy and there aren't many groups out here. I am very interested in your group, but had a few questions. First, I was wondering if your group participates in marathons together, even 10k and half marathons. I am new to the group running but I love to run!! Second I was wondering how much it is to be a part of your group. Please let me know. Thank You
I'm confused about this training schedule (as usual). But why are the 1/2 marathoners running 14 miles for a 13.1 mile race? Or am I reading the program wrong?
Good question. Yes, we are doing over-distance on purpose. It is a common training technique these days with overdistance being a part of the process. Doing 14 miles for a half marathon training workout makes everyone know that 13.1 is possible – a huge morale booster!
Where can I find the training schedule and meeting places for the Oakland Marathon Training?
WOW meeting places and the schedule are posted at http://gowowteam.com/calendar or go to the tabs at the top of our home page. For training programs and other information about the WOW Team please request the free programs through our information box and tell us your interests.
Where do training runs take place?
Sunday workouts are in various locations in the East Bay including Alameda, Berkeley, Lake Merritt, and Emeryville. During training for the Oakland Running Festival we will also run on the actual course and have 3 of our weekend workouts in Walnut Creek on the Iron Horse Trail and others. Take a look at our calendar to get a sense of the locations.
Saturday runs are in the South Bay at Sawyer Camp, San Mateo every other Saturday. If you are training for the marathon, this is where WOW does all its longer runs.http://gowowteam.com/calendar
I was wondering where your east bay trainings are usually held and when you start training for the Oakland Marathon. Thanks!
Thank you for contacting WOW! about training for the Oakland Running Festival – the full, half or 5K races. You can start training with us at any time but no later than January 8, 2011! Please take a look at the details on our website and, if you still have questions get back in touch with us.
Try to come to our Weekly Pep Talk Live call every other Tuesday night at 8:00pm. It's open to your questions and it's free! Details on facebook at http://facebook.com/gowowteam under the EVENTS Tab. You MUST RSVP to be invited to this call. Fill out our information request form and tell us of your interest. WOW offers free calls to EVERYONE, every other week. In-between the calls are for members only. – Coach Stephanie

A federal jury has ordered rapper The Game to pay $7.1 million in a sexual battery lawsuit brought by a former cast member of his reality dating show.
The woman was a contestant on VH1's "She's Got Game." She said in the lawsuit that The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, conspired with show's producers to force her to go on what she thought was a mandatory date to an Illinois sports bar during the time the show was being filmed in May 2015. She said Taylor inappropriately touched her buttocks and genital area several times at the bar.
The lawsuit was filed in Chicago federal court in Aug. 2015.

Reading Maxim Leo's Red Love: The Story of an East German Family9 July, 2014 at 15:50 | Posted in books, Culture, Society | 3 Comments
Tags: books, Culture, Society
Interesting review about people living in a communist country…
I just finished reading Red Love: The Story of an East German Family by Maxim Leo. What a compelling, intense and poignant journey this has been.
The moment I started reading Red Love, I was drawn into the inner dynamics, turbulent emotions and revealing stories of Leo's family. The latter included his grandfathers' experiences during the Second World War and the effects which lingered throughout the three generations.
Red Love examines the relationships between Leo's family members as well as each individual's connection to the German Democratic Republic (GDR). This is more than just a family memoir; it is also a journey through the history of the short-lived sovereign state, seen through the eyes of someone who was born into it, grew up in its shadow and saw it vanish overnight.
Leo brings the reader back in time by piecing together the narrative of his family through intimate interviews, old photographs and letters, diaries as well as surveillance files…

I've been focusing on editing my manuscript lately. I've been loosing myself in the lush rainforests of Costa Rica, dreaming my toes are sinking into the black sand beaches where much of the story takes place. I look back on the photographs of my journey through that wonderland daily, coaxing memories of the sound of howler monkeys in the treetops, the scent of orchid blooms mixed with gallo pinto, the feel of the pregnant air, heavy with with imminent rain.
Since I
wasted spent an afternoon playing with my photos on Picnik, I lessened my guilt by using images that would inspire my writing, and words to go along with my characters and story.

Korea's car makers - Hyundai, Kia and Daewoo - removed the wrapping from a welter of new 4WDs at the Seoul Motor Show this week.
Soon the Korean brands will be ready to invade the territory of the Japanese, attacking them where it really hurts.
Between them, the Korean trio will have viable competitors for everything from the Suzuki Jimny to the Toyota LandCruiser Prado.
The popularity of lightweight lifestyle 4WDs has not gone unnoticed in Korea. Hyundai's Tirol owes a debt of inspiration to the Subaru Forester. The similarities are startling.
In addition to imitating the Forester's boxy silhouette, the Tirol's headlights, grille, front bumper, nudge bar, roof rails and wheel arch flares bear a remarkable resemblance to the Subaru's.
Even minor details such as the door handles and indicator repeater lamps look familiar. The Tirol's interior, like the Forester's, is also square and utilitarian and loaded with storage compartments.
According to Hyundai, the Tirol handles very much like a car and has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine driving all four wheels. Just like, you guessed it, a Forester.
The Forester philosophy is followed on paper, too. According to the show literature, the Tirol should appeal to car buyers "in their 20s or 30s who lead active lives both in business and leisure".
So far, so good. But then, says Hyundai's fractured haiku, "In the Tirol, the appeal of urbanity can be sensed".
By that time, Hyundai's Santa Fe, a Jeep Cherokee competitor, should already be on the road here. This one will be familiar - it made its debut at January's Detroit show, but this time it has a new nose and a different set of wheels to make it look fresh for its home country car show.
Disregard the large wheelarch flares and the iron-bar grille, because Hyundai is saving the Santa Fe's true face until it goes on sale in mid-2000.
Based on the same mechanical package as the current Sonata sedan, the Santa Fe will have 2.7-litre V6 and 2.4-litre four-cylinder engines. Though slightly smaller externally than the Jeep Cherokee, it has similar interior space. Prices should start from about $30,000.
Hyundai also created an answer to the Toyota LandCruiser Prado - with a little help from Mitsubishi.
There have been technical links between the Japanese and Korean companies for decades, and Hyundai has long been building Pajeros and badging them as Gallopers.
But unlike Hyundai's previous Pajero make-overs, the body is completely new. The Highland should be priced from about $35,000 - roughly 10 per cent cheaper than an equivalent Pajero - when it is released in 2001.

About Temple:
Karuvalarcheri is near Kumbakonam. It is 1 km from Marudanallur which is 12 km from Kumbakonam on the Kumbakonam – Valangaiman – Mannargudi route.
Karuvalarcheri is home to one of the most important temples of the Agasthiar Siddha Lineage – the Agasthiar Guru Padhuka Shakti Temple of Mother Sri Akilandeswari and Lord Agastheesvara Shiva.
Adjacent to this temple is the temple of Lord Sri Lakshmi Narayana, making Karuvalarcheri a wonderful Siva-Vishnu sacred spot.
Mother Sri Akilandeswari here is known as Karu Valarkkum Nayagi – the Goddess who blesses the foetus with growth. In other words, the Universal Mother in this temple gives the blessing of development to the foetus.
Thus this temple complements the famous temple of Garbha Rakshambika which is some miles from here. Mother GarbhaRakshambika is Karu Kaakkum Nayaki – the Goddess who protects the foetus. The Universal Mother in that temple gives the blessing of protection to the foetus. Thus pregnant women get the blessing of growth at one sacred spot and the blessing of protection at the other.
Meditate on these two specific blessings that these two sacred spots give to expectant mothers. Just thinking about this, one should bow down in gratitude to the Universal Mother's compassion for us and Her meticulous attention to our varied needs.
Things To Buy:
1) ghee
2) beetlenut and leaves(vetrilai paaku)
3) turmeric
4) kumkum
5) 7 turmeric pods
6) agarbatti
7) camphor
8 )flowers.
Procedure :
It is suyambhu i.e formed by its own.and it is in the form of puttu, so is very powerful.Those who want children go to this temple and clean the steps with ghee and put a kolam and she helps them to form the baby.There is no abhishekam for amman only oil bath.Also this amman only face will be shown to the devotees.We can have the darshan of the full amman only on Sivarathri and Navarathri 9 days.All archana is done only to the moola sri chakra maha meru and sri chakram.
Steps To Follow in Karuvalarcheri Temple:
You need to bring 7 Vangala Manjal(Bengali Manjal) and a lemon.They will ask you to the padi pooja.The only difference is you need to apply a pinch of turmeric and kumkumam on the kolam and they will give seven manjal with the lemon.The lemon should be squeezed and made it to a juice level and can be mixed with salt/sugar and should be kept in a single glass and the couple should only consume it without fail.Remember to drink it in the smae glass.Same glass should be shared by husband and wife.
How To Use Manjal Given From Karuvalarcheri Temple:
As far as the manjal is concerned,One manjal will come for 3 weeks or so.Better buy a pumice stone or any other stone to just rub the manjal to get the turmeric substance out of it.This turmeric should be applied on the whole body except legs.You wash your body with a body wash/soap and apply the turmeric before your last rinse…The main condition is the turmeric should be used by that girl only.Nobody should use it on behalf of her.Turmeric should not be applied during the 5 days of the menstrual cycle.Turmeric should not be taken anywhere out of the house
How To Reach :
Karuvalarcheri is near Kumbakonam. It is 1 km from Marudanallur which is 12 km from Kumbakonam on the Kumbakonam – Valangaiman – Mannargudi route.

Radio NZ reports that "Sales at off-licences and supermarkets are being reduced to 12 hours a day - between 9am and 9pm [currently 7am-11pm].
Opening hours for bars and on-licences in the city will remain until 4am while, outside of the city centre, the closing time will be 3am.
The policy also introduces a two-year ban on new off-licences in areas deemed most at risk of alcohol harm."
The Council's original proposal, prior to public consultations and submissions (2,600 of them) last October, was for 3am closing for inner city and Ponsonby, and 1am closing for suburban bars with off-licences limited to sell alcohol to between 9am and 10pm, including supermarkets.
The next step will be for the Council to hear any appeals (expect the supermarkets to weigh in), before this comes into effect.

15 Awesome Quotes From St. Ignatius of Loyola
Happy Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola!
In honor of the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), I've compiled a list of his pithy sayings.
"All for the greater glory of God!"
"The man who sets about making others better is wasting his time, unless he begins with himself."
"Charity and kindness unwedded to truth are not charity and kindness, but deceit and vanity."
"Never say or do anything until you have asked yourself whether it will be pleasing to God, good for yourself, and edifying to your neighbor."
"When you say anything in secret, speak as if you were speaking to the whole world."
"There is no better wood for feeding the fire of God's love than the wood of the Cross."
"When the devil wants to attack anyone, he first of all looks to see on what side his defenses are weakest or in worst order; then he moves up his artillery to make a breach at that spot."
"Speak little, listen much."
"He who carries God in his heart bears heaven with him wherever he goes."
"When taking the first steps on the road of virtue the old man must be mortified, but in such a way as not to slay the new man."
"If you promise anything for tomorrow, do it today rather than put it off."
"If you want to make progress in love, speak about love; for holy conversation, like a breeze, fans the flame of charity."
"Go and set the whole world on fire."
"Since the object of our love is infinite, we can always love more and more perfectly."
"As often as we manifest others' failings we show up our own."

The Powerful Input Palette – Lyrics & Texts (Part 2)
All set and ready to go for a second round?
Where's…? How can I enter…? Where do I find…?
Here we are again. Ready to present to you the second part of our great cheat sheet. This post is all about the text that surrounds your music. You like singing? Here's everything you need to know about notes and their lyrics.
You don't like singing at all? Really? Come on… you've got to be kidding me! There'll still be some helpful clues for your music in here for you, too 🙂
Text / Chords
Here's a full package! All elements around the musical text are here. Let's look at it step by step. The button "Title Text" at the far left allows you to complement or edit the score's information. FORTE 8 comes with an updated dialogue. This is what it looks like:
To keep your print outs in order, add header or footer information to your score. This nice & comfortable feature also comes with FORTE 8. The button "Text" allows you to – guess what – enter text into your score. The next button, "Marker", is bound to a certain time of your score. You could, for example, label performance directions or units of your score using "Marker". Markers are also helpful for playback options (Check the "Go to" dialogue: you can select markers, rehearsal letters etc. as the starting point).
While we're at it: Rehearsal letters and numbers are also in this tab, right between "Lyric" and the chord symbol. These elements are always set at the beginning of a measure. If you'd like to change that, mark the element and move it by pressing ctrl while using the arrow keys to navigate.
One really important and frequently asked subject: LYRICS!
Pick the type of your lyric (verse, chorus, block) right here and now. You can also decide the general location of the lyric (above, below, between the staves). Select & click the first note of your score that should be sung. Now you can type your text: A blank divides the syllables and assigns the syllable to the next note. If you type a hyphen (-) or an underscore (_), the syllable will continue for several notes.
If you want to add another verse, open the properties window of the lyric. Go to the tab "Text" and select the correct verse number.
If you right-click on the lyric, you can display the verse number or hide it again.
If you're writing a lot of music for choirs or ensemble, you already know how to work with several voices. You also know that it's important to adjust the spacing in the layout options accordingly for all parts and all lyrics. But did you know that you can assign different lyrics to each part? If you select the voice level in the main menu "Home", you can add yet another lyric as a first verse. We've prepared a short video for you on lyrics:
Now about those chords…
If you click the chord symbol, another window will open. You can configure your chords here. The most common chords are under "Fast input", for, well, faster input. Every other chord you want to write… you have all the components at hand.
You can also select the style of the chord you want displayed: Whether it's just the name, just the chart or both. Look at the lower left corner: you can check those style boxes here.
We explained to you how to change the chord's language here. This setting cannot be edited in the input palette. If you select Italian as the chords' language, you can make use of the note name recognition for your shape notes. Please note: At the moment it's not possible to set up chord charts of your own. If you prefer to write tablature, we've prepared a tutorial for you here.
The tab's last symbol is most interesting for pianists:
Select the use of pedal for your score. You can also select several style for the pedal notation. Whatever you prefer. Wow! It's really packed, this one, isn't it?
So much for this big tab of the input palette.
In the next & last part, we'll cover the last tabs, from "Key" to "Repeats". How did you like this article?
We're looking forward to your comments!

Everything about version 8 is great! While there are more features, I am bothered by having to look around a lot to find how to do the things efficiently that I am used to doing smoothly and quickly as in way back in version 2! I write most of the time away from my instruments, and I write mostly on my laptop, I believe I asked this question before: In version, it is easy to move between note values on the notes palette by simply using the ARROW keys, I. e. , to move from a quarter not to a half note, use the LEFT ARROW key; to make the note sharp or flat, use the DOWN ARROW key; to change the value of the note use the UP ARROW key. This hasn't been available (at least I haven't seen a demonstration how to do) since version 2. So, this is my question: Is this no longer available or, what are the keystrokes to do this?
Sincerely, FORTE is a great product, however, changing menus and keystrokes is counterproductive to me. May I suggest, please send a comparison chart for how things used to be done -to- how they are done with new versions. (Unless I missed it, my apology) Thanks
Opps…sure is par for the course but thanks for trying to get it right.
I am enjoying the program.. I wish I could go back and delete notes when needed. With the mouse. I guess I have to delete or add by the measure..
Please could you help me consolidate the music which I saved under Forte 5, Forte 6 and Forte 7? They are all in separate files although I was under the impression that they would resort under the update as it has downloaded.
Also, I acquired Forte 8 last year, two days into the announcement, but when I want to open Forte 8, a message comes up to say that the offer has expired.
I have been having trouble with the system locking up on me and I have to shut it down. I try to save quite often so I don't lose too much. Very dissapointing.
As I have the free version I can only input 1 verse directly under the score, I have, therefore entered the 2nd and following verses in block mode. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to separate the verses with a blank line. Am I missing something?
Does Forte 8 support diacritics in foreign languages yet? I have a great need for diacritics in Romanian.
Thanks for the explanation on the lyrics feature here. Its really easy and thanks for the video.

What to do now:If you do not know FORTE yet: Just give it a try and download the free trial.
If you already know FORTE: Maybe it is time to buy FORTE now.

Innerspace Marketing is a game-changer for anyone looking to build, develop, or optimize their online business, sales funnels, or membership sites. Julia's professionalism, results-oriented, and design-minded approach are a breath of fresh air.
She was able to take me from having a heap of websites cobbled together with duct-tape and barely-functioning sales funnels to a professional (enviable!) online presence with streamlined funnels that WORK, are beautifully designed and branded, and filled with insider tricks of the trade. I always trust Julia to lead me in the right direction, and hiring her has undoubtedly proven to be the best investment I have ever made in my business.Alanna Kaivalya, Ph.D.
I consider Julia my angel from heaven who literally saved my sanity, and my business. She is my go-to person on everything I do – I consider her my most trusted partner in my business. She is smart, thorough, and never misses a step – both Ontraport and Julia are the nucleus of my business and I couldn't do it without them! Since I hired her, she's helped me earn over $100k in sales from my first course, and we've already developed and a launched a second course, which earns wonderful revenue.

Do it before you're ready – you'll save yourself thousands of dollars in the long run and emotional distress! Hire Julia (but just don't take her away from me!)Lindsey Ellison
Julia McPherson and Innerspace Marketing is absolutely incredible (and now something that I can't imagine living without). From our very first meeting, she took the reigns of a project that needed to be tackled. And fast! She took such a weight off my shoulders. I swear Julia has added years to my life span as she's always willing to roll up her sleeves and tackle the backend. I would enthusiastically recommend Innerspace Marketing to anyone looking for a pro.Bianca Gignac
I was new to ONTRAPORT and nervous about building our site and integrating it with the ONTRAPORT platform. Also, we use the integration with ONTRAPORT in a highly unusual, unique way. Because of this, I had real reservations about anyone really understanding what we were looking to accomplish, far less being able to pull it off!
We were introduced to Innerspace Marketing by ONTRAPORT. As a certified ONTRAPORT partner, Innerspace Marketing were suggested as highly qualified in integrating our membership website build with the Ontraport platform.
Julia's responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile is a huge reason that we are so happy with the results. She has been willing to take the time to understand what we need and equally willing to find ways to implement that even if that is not "by the book". She has made easy to follow tutorials to help us at our admin end which is also huge for us.
We were able to launch our site integrated with ONTRAPORT ahead of our partner company's launch event. This was incredible. The site and platform have been incredibly well received! The sales pages are beautiful and work flawlessly as do all the desired aspects of the system.
We are extremely grateful for that referral suggestion from ONTRAPORT, as Innerspace Marketing proved to me more than capable of that integration, including our non-standard demands on that system. The willingness to understand, resolve and implement those demands in such an elegant, functional system was superb. The timely manner in which that was accomplished was incredible.
I would highly recommend Innerspace Marketing for any of your website needs, especially if you are integrating with ONTRAPORT.Andrew Smith

Ok, I know I missed yesterday but the day got away from me with home work and then an unfortunate reaction to what I had for dinner last night!! Moving on from that and focusing on a good thing from yesterday and that is a good book!
I love to read but have a hard time reading a physical book because my eyes have become more sensitive than they were before chemo. They tire so much faster than ever before. I have always had a visual impairment but I could muscle through and just read while squinting and holding the book a few inches from my face. During chemo I couldn't do that at all. My eyes would get so tired so fast and I physically couldn't hold up the book I was reading as it was rather thick and heavy! So I broke down and got the Kindle app on my tablet and bought the book I was reading on Kindle and then made the print nice and large. I could prop the tablet up so I didn't have to hold it and read when I was awake enough:).
This was a HUGE help to me during chemo as I have always been able to loose myself in a good story. To this day that hasn't changed and that is what I did last night as I was eating dinner. I had gotten a book that was a pre-qual to the series I read during chemo and greatly enjoyed loosing myself in the story and remembering all the events that would come next and wishing they had gone further back and written books on the characters that weren't physically in the series but mentioned many times as the past of the world written about. Any Robert Jordan fans out there? Am I alone in wishing that some books will be written about the Age of Legends and how it came to an end?? Anyway, I am getting a little side tracked:). I guess my point is that books are an amazing thing for anyone dealing with difficult times and amazing for people who aren't. To find yourself in the world of characters you love and travel with them and be pulled into their lives is a pretty wonderful feeling!
In closing I am going to give a plug for my friend Nick Mason who is a fellow author and has managed to publish before me! His first book, The Subversion Complex, can be ordered on Kindle and Amazon and is well worth checking out! It is the first of a trilogy he is writing and is the kind of book that pulls you in to the characters and gives you a break from whatever you are doing. I know I am looking forward to book two and book three:). So check it out!

It's a race against the clock to create as many words as possible with the given letters - tap away at the letter tiles to create any word 3 - 12 letters in length. Letter tiles used in valid words will disappear, and the tiles will drop. Once a colored tile reaches the bottom, it will activate a blue light. Each round requires a certain amount of active blue lights before progressing to the next round. Strategy will be required in order to get the colored tiles to reach the bottom, so be aware of your remaining letters.
Swipe in any direction, or tap the clear (x) button to clear the word. Tap the back arrow button, or the letter tile itself, to delete a single letter. You can also shuffle the tiles once per game by tapping the shuffle button.
Stats will be saved during gameplay including: high scores, total words, best word, longest word, and more! You can also test your wordsmith abilities with the unique word count that keeps track of all unique words you have spelled throughout the game.
