Hanspun Friday - Gurthrie
I made it into a 2-ply yarn with 405yds.
Fall is here, and it's beautiful!
The leaves of the Weigelia bushes turned beautiful colors, just before they'll fall off. Looking at those colors, makes me want to have them on fiber too.
Out front, the strong wind yesterday, helped our huge Maple tree to let go of its leaves. Around here it smells earthy, something only Fall can do. Each season has its own smell, and I can't wait for the air to bring first snow smell with it.
We have huge yew bushes in our garden, and I'm thinkingn of removing them, seeing how toxic they are. It's amazing, that only the bright red jellowy pulp around the seed is not poisonous, when everything else on this bush is deadly. From the wood, to the green leaves. Mostly the dogs ignor them, but I find Denny pulling on branches sometimes, and Happy pushes his toys into the bush, and God knows why, plays in there. They are not interested in the berries though.
There are A LOT this year! That's only from one bush, next to the stairs!
And while I was out, yesterday, taking pictures, Denny was surveying his kingdom.
It's my birthday today too! 11/11/11 - isn't that a wonderful birthday date? I wish I was just 11 years old too. :o)
Oh, one more thing. I finished another pair of Andrea's mitts for Hannah per her request.
Since they fit in with the color scheme today, here they are. Second pair went really fast. She choose the colors. Pattern is from Kirsten Kapur.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Happy birthday to you! :) Have a wonderful day! :) I love the colors in the yarn you have spun there. Here in Iceland all leaves have fallen of the trees now and it has already started to snow in the mountains. I cant say I wait for the snow but my daughter is waiting.

Based on science and technology of advanced materials, the quantum mechanical nature of photons can be utilized for expanding the available spectral window and strengthening the security of our social systems. Towards such frontier photonics, we started to study some basic elements from physical and technological aspects. We succeeded in growing β'-(BEDT-TTF)2ICl2 single crystals, detecting THz signal by our superconducting tunneling junction device. An in-situ ellipsometry enabled us to monitor thermal oxidation process of SiC surface, and a spectroscopic detection of non-radiative centers in a InAs/GaAs quantum dot structure became possible. The combination of quantum-mechanical design, nano-scale fabrication and detailed characterization is considered to be essential for proceeding the research frontier of brilliant photonics world.

So.....is anyone else completely sick of these bloody 3D movies? It seems like if any film has the tiniest bit of action in it or it will appeal to anyone under the age of 20, there'll be 3D galore.
What really pissed me off was this brilliant Thor trailer which is spoilt by that pesky "in 3D" thing at the end:
Let me explain.
Y'see, I already see in 3D. I think we all do. Unless you have some serious depth-perception issues, you're capable of knowing that the smaller car behind the bigger one is not in fact miniature. It's further away! We've been knowing this for a while now.
The other thing is that it completely fecks up the picture quality. Filming in 3D or adding that post-production layering thing makes the picture darker. Then, you're forced to wear dark glasses. The picture you're looking at on the big screen isn't what was intended. So the cinematographer might as well have not turned up at all.
Oh, and you have to wear crappy glasses. Well, at least they're not made of cardboard.
And it costs more. Considerably more when you consider you're paying for the aforementioned dorky glasses. Which you already own from your last trip.
All this just so you can be absolutely, 100% positively certain that the smaller car is, in fact, further away.
Ok, rant over. I now return you to your previously scheduled Thursday.

The measure, House Congressional Resolution 285, says that foreign currency manipulations are a clear violation of Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and should be stopped. The resolution calls for corrective action by the Bush administration.
According to the sponsors, who include members from Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, China and other Asian countries gain a 25 to 40 percent advantage over U.S.-manufactured and agricultural products by pegging their currencies at a level 25 to 40 percent below the value of the dollar.
U.S. textile manufacturers claim the practice has result in a flood of Chinese and Vietnamese textile imports and the loss of 2 million jobs in their sector alone over the last three years.
The resolution calls for the president to continue negotiations with the East Asian countries – China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea – while pursuing other actions, including:
1) Enforcement of U.S. laws that provide remedies to counteract currency manipulation; 2) encouraging international harmonization of exchange rates based on market forces; and 3) instructing the US Trade Representative to take action under section 301 should negotiations fail to produce results.
"This resolution is bipartisan and calls for the United States to utilize every tool available to counteract the damage being done to U.S. farmers, manufacturers and their employees," said Stenholm.
Other congressmen from Cotton Belt states have filed legislative proposals requiring the imposition of tariffs on imported products in an amount equivalent to the advantage gained by manipulated currency values.
Cotton producer leaders from the Southeast, meanwhile, have been visiting congressional delegations from their region to urge them to support Resolution 285 and other legislation on trade and farm policy issues.
Members of the Southern Cotton Grower Association and Southeastern Cotton Ginner Association, led by Scotland Neck, N.C. producer Ronnie Fleming, held discussions with Congressional delegations from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
Fleming, president of Southern Cotton Growers, said producers urged House and Senate members to co-sign a letter to the President that urges the Administration to initiate the special safeguard provisions for certain textile and apparel products as provided in the 2001 China World Trade Organization accession agreement.
The letter expresses opposition to the inclusion of any provision in a Central America Free Trade Agreement that would grant preferential access to textile and apparel products containing components produced in any countries other than the United States and the five Central America countries in the case of the CAFTA.
The letter expresses opposition to agreeing to cut tariffs on textile products as part of the WTO agreement until and unless other countries first reduce their tariffs to U.S. levels.
As a result of these efforts and those of the other members of a textile-fiber coalition there are 43 co-signers in the House and 11 in the Senate, with the numbers increasing daily.
The producer delegation also urged continued opposition to any changes in the farm bill during consideration of the 2004 agricultural appropriations bill, which could come to the floor of the Senate as early as this week. e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

This tyre is made from a compound with a higher silica content to a summer tyre to keep the tyre flexible at lower temperatures. It's tread boasts 3-D sipes – these are key to the performance of an asymmetric tyre in any weather weather.
A directional tyre is higher performance in wet conditions as water is more effectively dispersed from between the tyre and the road but this asymmetric tyre is an excellent choice for snowy conditions as each central groove allows five different types of tread block to be used. It also means these tread blocks can stand out further from the tyre and therefore cut into the surface more effectively.
The closely-knit tread blocks help ensure the tyre retains its shape and stability and prevents fast wear despite the more malleable properties of the rubber compound. The inner shoulder of the tyre reflects the outer shoulder but is slightly more perpendicular than the outer shoulder blocks. This ensures the good and even grip of the tyre. Everything about this tread pattern shouts grip and stability.

Petraeus mistress won't face cyberstalking charge
WASHINGTON — No federal cyberstalking charges will be brought against the biographer of former CIA director David Petraeus after her affair with him prompted his abrupt resignation last month from the agency, according to a Justice Department statement.
Prosecutors had been weighing whether to file criminal charges against Paula Broadwell, whose series of e-mails to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley set in motion an FBI investigation that exposed Broadwell's relationship with Petraeus, a celebrated Army general before heading the CIA.
"As the target of our investigation, we believe that it is appropriate to advise your client that our office has determined that no federal charges will be brought … relating to alleged acts of cyberstalking,'' Assistant U.S. Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow said in a letter to Broadwell's attorney, Robert Muse, dated Dec. 14.
In a brief statement, Muse said he and his client were "pleased with the decision.''
It was unclear whether Muldrow's letter marked an end to an inquiry in which investigators also were reviewing Broadwell's handling of sensitive government documents.
"The decision on whether to bring a prosecution is always a serious matter and one that should never be undertaken without the most thoughtful deliberation,'' Muldrow's office said in a separate statement. "As federal prosecutors, we are guided in the discharge of our responsibilities by considerations of fairness and justice.
"The prosecution of a case is undertaken only after the most careful review and analysis of the evidence and applicable law. After applying relevant case law to the particular facts of this case, the United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida has decided not to pursue a federal case regarding the alleged acts of 'cyberstalking' involving Paula Broadwell.''
Muldrow's office declined further comment.
Kelley's representatives did not respond to requests for comment. The Tampa woman and her family had developed a close friendship with Petraeus and other high-ranking military officers. The family hosted receptions and other events at their home where Petraeus and the other officers were guests.
Petraeus, who submitted his resignation to President Obama last month, was not a target in the criminal investigation.
He told federal investigators that he did not share classified information with Broadwell. He has been the subject of an internal CIA review to determine whether he used government resources to further his relationship with Broadwell.

On Wednesday, May 30, Troop 7 Buttonwoods gathered at the grave of Private Thomas C. Matterson for its annual tribute to the Civil War veteran. Pvt. Matterson was a Scituate native who answered President Lincoln's call for volunteers to join the Union forces.
At the age of 43, Pvt. Matterson, a farm laborer, marched off with the 12th Rhode Island Volunteers to defend Washington, D.C. Pvt. Matterson contracted Small Pox and returned to Rhode Island, settling in Warwick. On March 26, 1863, he died from the disease. He was one of thousands of soldiers who safely made it through the Civil War without a scratch but succumbed to an infectious disease.
The Troop gathered at Pvt. Matterson's grave on Inman Avenue at 6:30 p.m. The ceremony started with the laying of a wreath on the gravestone by Troop Quartermaster Randy Summers. Then a short prayer was invoked by Assistant Chaplin's Aide Joshua Summers for Pvt. Matterson and all other U.S. veterans. The ceremony was closed by Theodore Gomm playing "Taps" on his harmonica. The Troop then proceeded to St. Clement's Church hall for their regular meeting.
If your son would like to join Scouting, he only needs to be 11 years old or have completed the 5th grade. Troop 7 Buttonwoods is always accepting new Scouts. For further information, visit the Troop website at www.troop7buttonwoods.com, or contact Scoutmaster Richard Nathan at 738-9153.

Veteran driver David Brickell turned in a stellar effort during Day One of harness racing at the 150th Wayne County Fair. The Smicksburg native won four heats and chatted with TWI Sports in the barn afterward...
David Brickell was all smiles in the barn Tuesday afternoon...and he had every reason to be.
At 64-years-old, Brickell has dedicated his life to harness racing and that passion paid off in a big way during Day One of action at the 150th Wayne County Fair.
He opened the festivities with a victory in the Judge Hames Rutherford Memorial Trot, just the first of what would be an eye-popping four wins on the 10-heat card.
"I had a good day, but winning that many times is mostly luck," the affable Brickell told TWI Sports. "We definitely have a couple of good horses, but winning four times in eight or nine tries is just plain lucky."
Dame Fortune continued to smile on Brickell during this particular day as he turned in one stellar driving performance after another.
In the day's first race, Brickell piloted "Erin Kirsten" to the winners circle. This three-year-old bay filly covered the mile in a time of 2:06.4, outdistancing "Bloomfield Cantifly" (Wayne Long) and "Quantum Natasha" (Drew Chellis).
Brickell's second victory of the afternoon came in the George Martin Memorial, a race reserved for three-year-old trotters. In this one, he drove "Radical Ridge" to the win in 2:04.
There wasn't much turnaround time between the fourth and fifth races and Brickell was quickly back in the bike behind "Caribe" for the Al Perkins Memorial Pace. The man from Smicksburg bested a field that included "McRiddler" (Steven Gastelu) and "Laundress Hanover (Wayne Long), stopping the clock at 2:06.2.
Brickell's final win of Day One came in the eighth race. He drove "Kaitlin Kir" to a snappy time of 2:04 in Heat One of the Bill Rossbach Memorial, an event open only to three-year-old filly pacers.
Lifelong Passion
David Brickell started racing competitively when he was 18 under the tutelage of his Dad, Thurmond and his younger brother, Dean.
Dean Brickell was a schoolteacher who lived for the "big three" (June, July, August) and all the county fair racing that goes with those golden months.
While he worked for more than a quarter century at 84 Lumber, Brickell's heart has always been in harness racing. By the time he was 30, David decided it was time to take the plunge and buy his own horse.
That first pacer/trotter was named "Lee's Spitfire" and the Brickells purchased him for $800 at a sale in Brandywine. From there, the stable simply began to grow. David quips that Dean "does all the hard work" while he gets the fun of driving.
The brothers have been competing at the venerable Dyberry Oval since the late 1960s and early 1970s. Despite the long drive (Smicksburg is more than 250 miles or five hours away), David and Dean eagerly anticipate their annual pilgrimage.
"We love coming to the Wayne County Fair," David said. "The people here are wonderful. They treat us great every time we're here. This is just about the farthest we travel, but we always look forward to it."
Brickell's wife, Ronna, was also a big fan of the Wayne County Fair. Sadly, she succombed to a long battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) five years ago.
"We came here together and kind of fell in love with the place," David said. "We just kept coming back as long as we could. They treated her great, too."
David and Dean promised that they'd celebrate their big day for a little bit, but then tomorrow morning it's right back to work. Wayne County is just one stop on the 2012 Fair Circuit, which runs deep into September.
The Brickells have two young horses that are already generating a buzz in the barns.
"DVC Jaded Attitude" is a precocious pacer and "BS Maximum Moondream" is a terrific trotter. The brothers affectionately refer to the latter as "Max," a bay gelding that's generated six wins in nine starts.
From Dyberry, the next stops on the PA Fair Circuit will be Washington and then Dayton.
"Dayton Fairgrounds are home for us," David said. "We love traveling around and racing, but it will be nice to get back home, too."

These fights are hands-down the most entertaining fights in recent UFC history, and they're all available on UFC.TV. If you really want to see what the Ultimate Fighting Championship is about (and if you want to be able to keep up with what everyone else is talking about), you have got to check out these memorable bouts. Entertaining from beginning to end, these fights are impressive.
Diego Sanchez and his rampant fighting style are set to take on the calculated kickboxing of Martin Kampmann. As the headlining bout, both fighters are in a position to enhance their status in the crowded welterweight division.
Undefeated, Brazilian fighter Edson Barboza was an accomplished Muay Thai fighter before making the transition to MMA. Tonight, Barboza takes on another fearsome knockout artist- former WEC star Anthony Njokuani.
Never before were there two men with such massive size, strength, and athleticism in the same Octagon. UFC 116 featured a colossal heavyweight title matchup between two gigantic gladiators: Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin.
This fight, between Sean Sherk and Evan Dunham, ended with a controversial decision, but both fighters put on incredible performances. Be your own judge as you watch the fight and see if you agree with the outcome.
In an unusual turn of events, Chris Leben fights for the second time in just two weeks. Leben's task just gets harder form there as he is paired against Japanese MMA sensation, Yoshihiro Akiyama in a Fight of the Night bout.
Middleweight contender Chael Sonnen's mouth did not stop moving for weeks before this fight voicing his criticisms of the champion. However, how will Chael back up his words when he enters the Octagon with Anderson Silva?
The UFC Lightweight belt is on the line as Frankie Edgar defends his title in a rematch against undefeated No. 1 contender Gray Maynard. Maynard already holds a win over Edgar, but will he be able to repeat his performance when the title is at stake.
Former WEC featherweight champion, Mike Brown will be looking to get back into title contention with a win tonight. Standing in his way will be Diego Nunes, an excellent kickboxer who has only been defeated once in his MMA career.

We live in a world where it's nearly impossible to please everybody, especially in the automotive industry. There's always going to be somebody who hates a car that took years of planning and engineering. With BMW's release of the 2014 M3, M4, and M235i it's safe to safe all of the luxury performance junkies are pleased. But what about consumers who are more concerned with gas efficiency?
BMW just announced a new big body diesel option. The 2014 740Ld xDrive Sedan will be joining the brand's lineup of cars for the US market. The long-wheelbase 7 Series body will benefit from BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system and efficient diesel technology. It carries an MSRP of $83425 plus $925 destination and handling.
On paper the 740Ld doesn't sound boring at all. Powering the 740Ld will be a 3.0-liter in-line six diesel engine with BMW's TwinPower Turbo technology good for a claimed 255 horsepower and 413 lb-ft. of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. To save weight BMW uses an aluminum block and head. Additionally it has an all-aluminum crankcase and hollow camshafts for further weight and noise reduction. Its timing chain is placed at the flywheel instead of the front engine to further reduce rotational vibrations.
While it's called TwinPower the 740Ld features a single turbocharger featuring variable vane turbine technology, which improves low-end torque with precise control of the boost pressure without the use of a wastegate. It only takes 6.1sec for BMW's flagship sedan to accelerate from 0-60mph. BMW says it will have 25-30% better fuel efficiency over its direct gasoline-powered counterparts. However US EPA fuel economy estimates are still not available.
The 2014 BMW 740Ld will have premium standard features such as Driving Dynamics Control with Eco Pro mode and Auto Start/Stop to help the driver reduce fuel consumption in real-world driving situations. It comes equipped with an exhaust gas treatment system that is designed to comply with ULEV II emission standards. The system integrates a Nox Storage Catalyst, Diesel Particulate Filter, and the Selective Catalytic Reduction system with approximately nine sensors that keep exhaust emissions to a minimum.
See the first BMW Advanced Diesel 7 Series in the US debut at the Chicago Auto Show in February this year and expect to see it in showrooms in the spring.

hey I just wanted to post a airsoft video that a guy I play with did and you can see me in all my geared up glory.
you can get a pretty good view of me in this one at 1:30 and 6:08. im the guy with the backwards hat and black under shirt.
im not fighting much because in this one im the medic and i am the only one able to "heal" other players. this is the only game I didnt win.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXgiCRP9 ... 36&lf=plcp
and as you can see this one was a little boring, the rules we used to have for this game kind of made you camp, so nothing would happen, but I changed the rules so it will flow better.
and in this one for the first few minutes you see me explaining the game and then getting ready to rescue the pilot, I won this game for us.

Wrestlemania 23 may still be 12 days away, but the location for next year's event was announced this morning at a press conference in Orlando, Florida. For the first time in history, Wrestlemania will be in the sunshine state at the Citrus Bowl.
The home of the University of Central Florida football team and site of the annual New Years Day football classic, Capital One Bowl, Champs Sports Bowl and Florida Classic holds 70,000 people. More than 60,000 fans from around the world are expected to attend the 24th edition of Wrestlemania on March 30, 2008.
"The advantage of aligning our community with one of the world's most famous and exciting brands is immeasurable," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer in a press release. "Tens of thousands of visitors from around the world will visit our city next March for WrestleMania 24. Additionally, for the next 12 months, Orlando will be recognized as the home of the Super Bowl of sports entertainment to millions of WWE fans around the world, creating invaluable exposure. We are tremendously honoured to welcome this great event to the City of Orlando for the first time."
The press conference was attended by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Batista, John Cena, Melina, Ashley Massaro and Bobby Lashley. The media turnout was very large.
McMahon credited Dyer for being the first mayor to ever come courting about his city hosting the WWE's premiere event. Dyer actually flew up to WWE's Connecticut headquarters to discuss the idea.
"It's about time Florida hosted a WrestleMania," said McMahon in the release. "We could not be more excited about bringing WrestleMania, the world's No. 1 sports entertainment event, to Orlando, the No.1 tourist destination in the world."
Brian Fritz, host of the Between the Ropes radio show on 740 The Team in Orlando, was at the press conference today. He told SLAM! Wrestling that the highlights were two fans dressed almost exactly like MNM that got a reaction from McMahon, and a memorable exchange between Batista and a fan.
Batista, who lives in nearby Tampa, joked that maybe he'd walk to the event. Or hitchhike. A fan cried out that he'd give Batista a ride. The champ from Smackdown said, "You're a good-looking dude, but I don't swing that way."
The event will also be the first Wrestlemania held outdoors since Wrestlemania 9 in Las Vegas. Wrestlemania XIX was held in baseball stadium Safeco Field in Seattle however the stadium roof was closed for that event.
Orlando is one of the top tourist destinations in North America with DisneyWorld, Universal Studios and many other attractions that will be sure to draw interest from many who may not have attended a Wrestlemania before. (No word yet if TNA plans to run any shows at Universal Studios to capitalize on the influx of wrestling fans.)
According to figures generated by the Central Florida Sports Commission, WrestleMania 24 is expected to pump an estimated $25 million into the local economy, while also creating jobs.
Fritz acknowledged that there will be a lot of international fans at WrestleMania 24, but felt it was a reward for loyal followers in Florida. "It's a really big deal. It shows Orlando's really on the map," Fritz said. "For the great fans here in this city, they're going to love the event."
Though not confirmed, Monday Night Raw is expected to be in Tampa the night after 'Mania, and Smackdown taped on Tuesday in Jacksonville or Miami.

A reader sent in a link to this New York Times story about Muslims adopting yoga with the note:
Did I miss something or did the Times do a credible job in this story? If so, what is different about this story?
Here's the top of the piece:
As a community activist in Queens, Muhammad Rashid has fought for the rights of immigrants held in detention, sought the preservation of local movie theaters and held a street fair to promote diversity.
But few of those causes brought him anywhere near as much grief and controversy as his stance on yoga.
Mr. Rashid, a Muslim, said he had long believed that practicing yoga was tantamount to "denouncing my religion."
"Yoga is not for Muslims," he said. "It was forbidden."
But after moving to New York in 1997 from Bahrain, he slowly began to rethink his stance. Now Mr. Rashid, 56, has come full circle: not only has he adopted yoga into his daily routine, but he has also encouraged other Muslims to do so — putting himself squarely against those who consider yoga a sin against Islam.
In New York City, where yoga has become as secular an activity as spinning or step aerobics, the potential sins of yoga are not typically debated by those clad in Lululemon leggings. But in some predominantly Muslim pockets like Jackson Heights, Queens, yoga has been slow to catch on, especially among first-generation immigrants, newly arrived from cultures where yoga is considered Hindu worship.
I love journalistic discussions of yoga, Hinduism and other religions. I used to do a bit of yoga, although now I'm into Crossfit. I would say it's the opposite of yoga except that we actually use quite a few yoga stretches at the end of each workout. But when I first began doing yoga, and read what Hindu practitioners said about the practice of yoga, I took their words seriously enough to talk to my pastor about it.
This article does a good job of showing how some Muslims have overcome their initial objections to yoga. But I do think it failed in not discussing enough about the Hindu history and nature of yoga. I'm not sure dismissing it as secular even flies when describing the typical New Yorker's approach to it. At least, not among my New York friends who are totally into at least a portion of the religious or spiritual aspect of the practice. Indeed, it's much of the selling point for them. And that doesn't even touch on how Hindus themselves feel about yoga, particularly some of the more traditional Hindus.
The article only talks about Christian and Muslim opposition to using yoga, but not to Hindu opposition to the way yoga is treated by some outside the faith. For instance:
The religious opposition to yoga also extends to some Christian sects. One widely publicized clash came in 2010, when R. Albert Mohler Jr., an evangelical leader and the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, declared the practice of yoga blasphemous because of what he said were its pantheistic roots.
In India, near-annual pushes by members of Parliament to make yoga compulsory in schools have riled Muslim parents who feel it bridges on indoctrination. When a member of Parliament proposed to insert yoga into most curriculums in 2010, wording was included to exempt things like madrasas, or Islamic schools.
Viewed solely from the perspective of how some Muslims integrated yoga into their religious lives, however, this is a great article. Just really well done.
Almost as if in answer to my main complaint about the piece, however, comes this NPR article headlined "To Some Hindus, Modern Yoga Has Lost Its Way."
The article does a good job of recognizing that there is not one Hindu approach to how yoga should be practiced throughout the world or treated by outsiders, much less consent about its origins. Still, it talks to people associated with the Hindu American Foundation to get their objections to the secularization of yoga:
But some Hindus are taken aback by how so much of the yoga practiced in the United States emphasizes only the physical.
One group, the Hindu American Foundation, has launched a "Take Back Yoga" campaign to address what they see as a fundamental disconnect between yoga and Hinduism.
Sheetal Shah, senior director at the foundation, says the group started the campaign when it noticed that while "Vedic," "tantric" and many other words appeared regularly in yoga magazines, the word "Hindu" was never mentioned.
So, the foundation called up one of the country's most popular magazines to ask why.
"They said the word 'Hinduism' has a lot of baggage," Shah says. "And we were like, 'Excuse me?' "
Shah says she understands why some people have a problem with linking yoga and Hinduism. Many American practitioners associate the practice with something pure and serene, she says. But when they think of Hinduism, she says, they think of "multiple gods, with multiple heads and multiple arms. Colorful [and] ritualistic."
It may be difficult for people to see how these things fit together, Shah says.
With the Take Back Yoga campaign, the Hindu American Foundation is hoping for broader acknowledgment that yoga has Hindu philosophical roots — while also emphasizing that it is universal and appropriate for everyone.
"What we're trying to say is that the holistic practice of yoga goes beyond just a couple of asanas [postures] on a mat. It is a lifestyle, and it's a philosophy," Shah says.
It wouldn't be Hindu without that universal aspect, eh? But while the Hindu American Foundation is somewhat controversial
The article probably should have mentioned a bit more about how controversial the campaign and the foundation are. The Times reported a couple years ago that "Deepak Chopra, the New Age writer, has dismissed the campaign as a jumble of faulty history and Hindu nationalism."
It's a challenging topic. There aren't easy answers for whether, much less how, to integrate yoga in a religious life.

Looks just as good as Village Park's! Hooray for nasi lemak in the desert!
It has been a while I never hop over your blog...But this post attracted to me: NASI LEMAK! my all time fav. I have to admit that I'm trul Msian...
Julian u have a nice day.
Do Meena (Awhiffoflemongrass.com) officiate this restaurant? lol
Hello hello :-) Thanks for the nice feedback everyone. Sorry been out of action for some weeks / oops .. month!
1) Village Park? Hmm ... cannot compare lar. But we can't be too choosey. Very grateful for this NL!
2) Its been a while since I blogged too! Enjoy enjoy!!
3) Meena ... Haha, she has been here with Miss KCL I think!!!
Named after Meena must be delish la;)
Meena always delicious :-)
hi, can you give me exact directions on how to get to this cafe? seeing the photos make me very hungry!!! thanks,
The GPS coordinates should lead you to a sandy car-park area, next to the Iran-souk where they sell ceramic pots.
(2) Located:
Its actually located very close to the Irani souk / market which sells flowers and pots. And, not far from the Co-op at Port Zayed.
Meena Cafe is actually INSIDE the construction site beside the carpark, you have to walk in through the Zelan Sdn Bhd security entrance, go along the pathway to the left and its a little canteen there!
(3) Review:
dear jules
my name is saiful.
i check out your blog and i find a lot of great info.i live in uae for almost 3 years already.
and i find it really rare to find a really authentic malaysian food around uae.(i tried the reem cafe and the noodle bowl before.some dish is good and some is just ok)
so my question is,what is actually missing about malaysian food here?is it the authenticity or if they want to bring more malaysian/other expart to try the food,is there anything they should focus on?
Hi Saiful, nice to hear from you and thanks for the feedback.
I guess it is not easy to find or import certain ingredients, and perhaps the skill is lacking .. or simply the passion. Who knows ;-)
Food here in general isn't so bad - Besides Malaysian, there's good Korean, Japanese, Italian and a couple of good steak houses too. The local Lebanese and Saudi food scene is pretty lively too, and not to forget the Indian food here in Abu Dhabi.
Guess we will have to wait till our annual or bi-annual trips home to enjoy more "real" Malaysian food!!

Low Dose Chemotherapy with External Radiation
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I recently received surgery to remove a 6" tumor, which appeared 3 years after surgery for a stage 1 endometrial cancer. Following this surgery, I received 3 chemotherapy treatments using taxol and carboplatin. I am now preparing to undergo external radiation, and my radiologist is recommending that I do a course of low-dose cisplatin at the same time.
After receiving several different opinions about the side effects as well as benefits of cisplatin, I would like to know what difference low-dose makes in the risks of this chemo treatment. Does the low-dose make a significant difference in the side effects, particularly neuropathy and renal/kidney effects? Does this chemo make enough of a difference in the effectiveness of the radiation to be worth the risks associated with these side effects?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
The treatment of advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer is very controversial. A large, randomized phase III study conducted by the
Gynecologic Oncology Group compared whole abdominal radiation to treatment with multiagent chemotherapy, and showed better outcome for those patients receiving chemotherapy. Retrospective studies show that patients with advanced endometrial cancer treated with combination chemotherapy and radiation do better than those treated with either chemotherapy or radiation alone. That being said, there is no standard way to administer a combination of chemotherapy and radiation to patients with advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer.
Patients may receive combination chemotherapy first and then radiation afterwards; radiation therapy first and then chemotherapy; chemo/radiation/chemo (in a "sandwich" technique); or receive chemotherapy at the same time as radiation (concurrently, as was suggested for the patient writing the question).
The regimen suggested to the patient is commonly used to treat cervical cancer, and is generally tolerated well. The biggest side effects are nausea and lowering of the blood counts. Patients tend not to have significant long-lasting neuropathy. For patients with cervical cancer, the addition of low-dose cisplatin has significant advantages in response and cure rates. For recurrent endometrial cancer, not all lesions are amenable to radiation therapy. If radiation is an option, most would agree that combination chemotherapy and radiation is promising, but it remains unclear what the best regimen is.

the Muscle and Ken's Johnson of Battley Harley Davidson missed their start time for the team time trial during stage two of Tour of Ephrata this past weekend. Their whereabouts were unknown but team management almost put this hot couple into those awful new Harley kits for the uphill painfest. Maybe the Muscle will bless us with a cartoon of the conversation him and Johnson had while warming up before the stage. (i do ghost writing if you need help muscle).
Photo Linc Brooke.
By the way...if anybody has photos of the Harley pair prior to the TTT, inquiring minds would like to see. email@example.com

Preston board sends $8M in borrowing to vote without recommendation
Preston - A split Board of Finance decision to forward only the request that the town borrow $8 million to continue the cleanup of the former Norwich Hospital to a town meeting and referendum left legal questions late Thursday on whether the action would be legal.
Preston Redevelopment Agency attorney Bruce Chudwick had advised the Board of Finance that it would have to recommend approval of the loan in order to send it to a town meeting and referendum.
But the board voted down the approval, and voted 4-2 only to pass along the request, with members Norman Gauthier and Andy Bilodeau voting against the resolution.
The controversy arose during a lengthy joint meeting of the boards of finance and selectmen to hear a presentation by the PRA on progress to date in cleaning up the property in the hopes of finding a future developer and the current and future town costs for the cleanup.
Selectman Timothy Bowles acknowledged the lingering four-year controversy over whether the town should have taken ownership of the property from the state. He said he felt that way at first, but commended the PRA for its work and the current state administration for assisting the town.
Selectmen hesitated on the legal wording before approving the town meeting for Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Preston Veterans' Memorial School and the referendum for Nov. 27. First Selectman Robert Congdon said he would obtain a legal opinion from the town's law firm, Halloran & Sage, on the issue.
In the worst-case scenario, Chudwick said, the town meeting could be ruled invalid.
"Right now, we have a town meeting and a referendum scheduled," Congdon said. "The Supreme Court might have to decide it."
The town has been approved for a $4 million state low-cost loan and an additional $964,000 federal Economic Development Administration grant that require equal amounts in town matching funds. But the town can use the same money to match both the state loan and the federal grant. The $8 million question going to voters would cover both the state loan and the required $4 million town match.
The town faces a decision deadline of Dec. 1 on both the state loan and the federal grant.
The PRA has received more than $4 million in federal and state grants to date and has contributed $300,000 in local matching shares. With that money, the PRA over the past four years has demolished 22 of the 58 structures on the property, including old oil tanks and portions of the extensive underground network of tunnels that traverse the property.
The state loan is at 1.5 percent interest, but interest and principal payments will be deferred. For every 100 permanent jobs created by future development, $1 million of the state loan would be forgiven outright. The loan also requires that the town obtain at least $4 million in private investment over the next 10 years.
"I do not think that is a hard hurdle," Congdon said, answering finance board member Norman Gauthier's concern about the provision.
Finance board member Gail Whitney said she has been trying to figure out exactly how much the former hospital property is costing the town now and in the future, including the nearly $1 million past legal bill still owed, matching funds paid to date, the new $8 million in loans and the loss of state payment in lieu of taxes on the property.
Officials estimated the town's total cost could be as much as $14 million, including the new loans.
PRA Chairman Sean Nugent offered if the town shut down all work at the site after the current grants are exhausted, as owners of the property, Preston still would have to pay for insurance, security, maintenance and legal costs totaling $165,000 per year.
If the $8 million is approved, and the town bonds another $4 million for other capital projects, the combined debt would add about 2.3 mills to the town's tax rate by 2019-20 - the most expensive year of the 20-year life of the bond, Congdon said.

According to multiple reports (and as first reported by Coaching Search's Pete Roussel), Florida coach Will Muschamp is meeting with Duke offensive coordinator Kurt Roper on Monday morning.
Florida is in desperate need of a quality offensive coordinator after its attack languished under Brent Pease in 2013's 4-8 debacle. Roper, a Broyles Award finalist this year, has a reputation of developing quarterbacks — which, it would seem, is exactly what Florida needs going forward.
Roper has served as David Cutcliffe's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach/assistant head coach at Duke since 2008. He's coached with Cutcliffe for quite some time, going back to the pair's days at Ole Miss when Roper nurtured the growth of Eli Manning in Oxford. Roper also spent time at Kentucky (quarterbacks, 2005) and Tennessee (running backs, 2006-2007) before heading to Duke.
Correction: The article originally stated Florida had interviewed Kerwin Bell, when that interview took place in 2011. The author apologizes for the error.

Controversy erupted Wednesday after Detroit's Niklas Kronwall levelled Ryan Kesler with one of his signature body checks, causing Kesler to skate after Kronwall despite the presence of two referees between the two players. The radio shows have had lots to talk about this week.

The Secret Contagious Mojo That Makes People Value Stuff Connected To Famous People
from the celebrity-cooties? dept
Frankly, some of this sounds pretty ridiculous -- a sort of inflated market version of cargo cult science -- but if you're looking to understand the psychology behind people who go to great lengths to feel some sort of connection to celebrities, it seems like worthwhile reading just to understand the underpinnings. Indeed, over the years, we've seen artists incorporate this kind of thinking in their own business models. They can often sell off things that they're closely connected to, for a premium, and the buyers are quite happy. We sometimes hear from our usual critics that these business models involve finding "suckers." But the buyers don't seem to feel like suckers, and some of this research seems to explain why.

Kavin's 4th Birthday
Hope all of you are doing very well. I'm sorry that I'm unable to keep up my word of resuming blogging soon. Meanwhile " THANKS" to all my dear blogger friends and readers who continue to visit my blog and leave encouraging comments. I really feel so bad that I'm unable to respond to all of your comments. But I hope you will understand.
Lots have been going on in the past month. Kavin's Birthday, my b'day, My in-laws arrival and getting adjusted to all the changes. Phew... I'm glad that it's all over now. Anyway, I just wanted to share some pictures of our special days with you.
Ok guys. I can hear you saying ... enough of talking. Where's food? Well, I have many posts in my draft but I choose Egg Curry to post today.
This is a simple and flavourful gravy. If you wish you can use replace eggs with chicken. It tastes great with dosa, pulav rice, biryani or rotis. Pardon me for the bad presentation. No time to garnish or clean the sides of the plate
Eggs- 5
Onion- 1 (medium)
garlic- 3 pods
ginger- 1"
green chilli - 1
corriander leaves- small fistful
curry leaves- few
mint leaves- 5 or 6
Tomato- 1 (big)
turmeric- 1/4 tsp
sambar powder- 1/4 tsp
Some curry powder- 1/2 tsp (I used sakthi chicken masala for an added flavour)
cloves- 2
pattai (cinnamon stick) - 1"
jeera seeds- 1 tsp
fennel seeds - 1 tsp
salt- as required
Boil eggs and peel off the shell. Cut them in halves and set aside. Heat 2 tsp of oil in a kadai and fry the onions, ginger, garlic, chilli, corrinader leaves, curry leaves and mint until the onion turns into a pale brown color and becomes soft. Finally add the tomatoes and saute until completely mashed. Switch off the gas and allow it to cool. Grind it all to a smooth paste.
Heat one tbsp of oil in a kadai and fry cloves and cinnamon stick. Next add the ground paste , turmeric , sambhar powder and curry powder. Add required salt. After 5 mins add the cumin-fennel powder and a cup or more of water. Bring to a nice boil.
Slip in the eggs slowly and carefully mix well . Test for seasonings and switch off the gas until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Finally add some corriander leaves and mix.
I'm signing off with this. Will be back with my next post soon. Once again I'm sorry for not replying to all your comments. From my next post onwards I'll be responding back only to queries. But I gladly welcome your suggestions. Thanks again for understanding. Take care and have a great Day!!!!

Dear Kribha...
thanks for the lovely response to my post. i am not approving for submission only coz you have stated ur weight there..was not sure if you want it out...if you think it is okay..will publish it..thought i should let you know.
Coming to the 'friend' who tends to bug you..it is simple as daylight she is jealous. i have noticed thru my weight-loss journey there are two types of ppl. who tend to react in that fashion..one is a person who is overweight herself..this person is unhappy about herself and wants and seeks company. When you want to better urself..gets jealous..insecure and tries to hold you back so that she has an excuse to do nothing about her weight. Another person who holds u back are the ppl. who are thin but view you as competetion and would rather like you being chubby and unhappy with urself than be confident and doing what you set ur mind too..again..they are insecure.
My take on this is.. it is nobody's business on how you lose the weight. You do not have to justify your weight-loss approach to anyone or prove to them how you are getting such amazing results. People who love you know what you are doing..you are happy with what you are doing..so i suggest you basically ignore what the jealous lady preaches...stick to your diet and look hot and reach the goal you have set for urself.
Meanwhile..if you want to vent..feel free to email me...
hugs..and take care..u sweet girl :)

Former Ike Star Gets Promotion At Central
Former Eisenhower and Central Washington University basketball standout Drew Harris has been named the new top assistant to Central head coach Greg Sparling.
"Drew has always wanted to be a college coach and this is a great opportunity for him," Sparling said. "His experience as a successful point guard and coach in the GNAC [Great Northwest Athletic Conference] should pay immediate dividends for our program."
Harris, 24, played for Central during its illustrious 2010-11 campaign, in which the Wildcats posted a 26-4 overall record, won the GNAC regular-season and tournament titles, and earned the number one seed for the NCAA Division II West Region Tournament. Individually, Harris, who started all 30 games, averaged 9.0 points and 4.2 assists per game. He received second-team all-GNAC recognition and was also an academic all-conference honoree.
This will be the second season on the Central bench for Harris. Last season, he worked with the guards, conducted individual work with team members and scouted opponents. Sparling indicated Harris will now also assume more recruiting responsibilities.
"It's also nice to have a former [CWU] student-athlete with ties to the Yakima Valley [on staff]," Sparling added. Harris played his prep basketball at Eisenhower High School in Yakima, where he starred for the Cadets.
Harris said, "It's an honor to be able to coach at Central with its rich history in basketball and athletics. Ellensburg is a great and supportive community, and to be able to coach somewhere where you've played is an added bonus.
"I hope to be able to lend my experience as a successful student-athlete to our players here in the future. I feel that I will have opportunities to be able to help the guys both on and off the court as they balance their athletics and academics."
CWU has qualified for the GNAC Tournament each of the past three years, winning the inaugural conference tournament title during Harris' senior season in the Crimson and Black.
Harris replaces former CWU associate head coach GE Coleman, who was hired last month as head coach at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo.

Can Crowdsourcing Complete The Job Aaron Swartz Started In Freeing PACER?
from the would-be-nice dept
For the uninitiated, despite being public domain, court filings are locked up in an incredibly antiquated electronic document system that the federal courts all use called PACER. Anyone can get access to PACER (though using the system, which has never been an example of modernity, takes some figuring out), but it costs $0.10 per page to download any documents. That's what Aaron was trying to "free."
While his initial effort, making use of a "trial" at certain libraries allowing free access to PACER was shut down, his downloads did become the crux of the RECAP project, a browser plugin built a few years ago by some Princeton students, which would automatically upload any document you accessed via PACER to the Internet Archive where they could be viewed for free going forward.
Unfortunately, RECAP itself more or less stagnated after many of those behind it left Princeton. However, following Aaron's death, there have been a couple of interesting developments, driven in large part by a different Aaron, Aaron Greenspan. First, he set up three grants of $5,000 each to update the RECAP extension. It's currently only available in Firefox, but there are grants for expanding it to Chrome and to IE, while also updating the Firefox browser to cover appeals court documents. This would be huge. I tend to use PACER via Chrome, so I've been unable to contribute much to RECAP lately.
But the second part of the plan, also put in place by Greenspan, is what he's calling Operation Asymptote, to try to get lots of people to help out in freeing PACER documents. He's using the one slight exception to the $0.10 per page rule: PACER does not charge you if your total charges add up to less than $15 per calendar quarter. In other words, you can basically download 150 "pages" during a quarter for free. Now, that's not really 150 pages of court documents, since PACER also charges for searches. And, since some court documents can be pretty long, 150 pages can actually go pretty fast. But Greenspan is suggesting that if we can get a lot of people to sign up for PACER (and RECAP) and download a small amount, keeping under the $15 line, then effectively, a large group of people might free large parts of the public domain material in PACER for free (you need to have a valid credit card to sign up, but if you keep under the $15, then you don't get charged).
This is being done in association with Greenspan's PlainSite, a site which tries to make legal information as public as possible (we've linked to them in the past for their research into Intellectual Ventures' shell companies). Part of the goal is to actually pull together the details of cases worked on by "every US Attorney or Assistant US Attorney" during their career. For example, you could look at cases involving Stephen Heymann or those involving Carmen Ortiz. On the Operation Asymptote page, they even have a link that will automatically point you to cases where they're missing documents, so it's one click easy.
I have no idea if enough people will actually participate to make a difference, but after the slight hassle of signing up for a PACER account (and then a chance to witness just how poorly designed PACER is) anyone can help out for free. It seems like a worthwhile goal.

The articles in The Sun regarding Baltimore's speed cameras are highly commendable. The Sun and reporters Luke Broadwater and Scott Calvert deserve kudos for the great investigative work ("Goal is 'zero' speed errors," Nov. 20).
Now for the $64,000 question: How many tickets were given out when schools were closed for summer, holidays, weekends, and at night. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the $19 million would drop by 75 percent if these cameras were only operated during school hours.
The same can be said for the cameras operating in Maryland work zones that are issuing tickets at night, rainy weather, holidays, etc. Yes, I know, in the name of safety! Ha.

Final Vote win would send Morneau 'home' to Minnesota
DENVER -- Justin Morneau has been an All-Star four times.
Morneau even won the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium in 2008. And in the Midsummer Classic the next night, he scored the winning run for the American League in the 15th inning.
DENVER -- Justin Morneau has been an All-Star four times.
Morneau even won the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium in 2008. And in the Midsummer Classic the next night, he scored the winning run for the American League in the 15th inning.
As nice as the memories of the past are, going to the All-Star Game again this year, Morneau admits, would be special.
Morneau is behind Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo in the 2014 All-Star Game Final Vote Sponsored by Experian for the last spot on the National League team. If he winds up overtaking Rizzo and beating the other three other candidates, it means Morneau would get to return to Minnesota, where he spent his entire big league career until he was traded to Pittsburgh last August.
And it would give Morneau a chance to say goodbye to fans who were so special to him, but who have not had a chance to see him since he was dealt on Aug. 30 last year while the Twins were on a road trip in Texas.
Morneau, who played 1,278 games over 11 seasons with the Twins, did buy a full-page add in both the Minneapolis Star Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press to thank the fans. But that's not the same as saying it in person. It's not the same as seeing the fans who were supportive of him.
"It would be a big thing to stand along the third-base line, tip my cap and thank the Twins fans," Morneau said. "It would mean a lot."
Maybe it is fitting that if Morneau does get that chance to say thanks, it will be because of the vote of fans from not only Minnesota, but also those in Colorado and Cleveland. The Rockies and Indians have created a joint effort to promote Morneau and Tribe pitcher Corey Kluber.
Morneau also has found a groundswell of support from fans in his native Canada, who put on such a strong push a year ago they led the way for Blue Jays pitcher Steve Delabar to win the AL Final Vote. There are also the fans in Pittsburgh, where catcher and fellow Canadian Russell Martin has been pushing teammates to take to Twitter in support of Morneau.
Morneau has even found support in the NHL from the likes of Ryan Kesler, Willie Mitchell, James Wisniewski and Dwayne Roloson.
"I asked Wayne Gretzky and he said he didn't Tweet," said Morneau, "but he said he'd ask his daughter [Paulina]. He said she had [299,000] followers."
As nice as the support from fans would be, and as exciting as a return to Minnesota would feel, the best part about Morneau's situation is that after three seasons that left many feeling his career was nearing the end, Morneau is again one of the most productive players in the game.
It is a welcomed revival for the 2006 AL MVP Award winner, who made the All-Star team the next four seasons. Morneau suffered a concussion in 2010, then had a second concussion the next year, along with surgeries on his left wrist, left knee, right foot and neck.
"They were all different," Morneau said of the surgeries. "The wrist was a ligament. It was the most serious. They drilled out a bone. I had to restablize it."
So Morneau went on the free-agent market last winter having combined to hit only .256 with 40 home runs the previous three seasons. There were whispers that Morneau, given his surgeries and concussions, was much older than his 33 years of age would indicate.
The Rockies, however, were willing to give him a two-year deal with $12.5 million guaranteed. And at the urging of close friend and former Twins teammate Michael Cuddyer -- as well as boyhood baseball idol Larry Walker -- Morneau decided to sign with Colorado.
It's been a struggle on the field for the Rockies, who have been beset by a series of bizarre injuries. Morneau, however, has been a bright point. He went into Wednesday's game against San Diego with 13 home runs and ranked among the NL leaders with a .313 average (sixth), 59 RBIs (tied with Paul Goldschmidt for second) and a .509 slugging percentage (ninth).
"It's been nice," Morneau said. "I feel I can produce again."
It is a much nicer feeling than Morneau had nearly 10 months ago, when he was told he was no longer a member of the Twins.
"There were a lot of emotions," Morneau admitted. "The last year and a half in Minnesota, I wasn't sure if I was leaving or staying. When the trade was made, it was the best thing. It put an end to the uncertainty, but it was tough."
A chance to return next week as a part of the NL All-Star team would help close that chapter in Morneau's career.

Our range of purpose-designed handling aids reduces, and often removes, the risks of heavy lifting and handling and ensures that employee injuries are kept to a minimum. Explore our full range here.
In short, an investment in lifting and handling equipment is a cost effective way to minimise risk, increase productivity and ensure compliance with statutory regulations.
BiGDUG's philosophy of offering customers 'Great Products, Great Prices and Great Customer Service' has made it the UK's biggest independent supplier of industrial shelving, racking and storage products and this customer-driven philosophy extends into our vast range of workplace trucks and trolleys.
We have a wide range of job-specific Forklift Attachments, for example, that are all manufactured in the UK, tested and certified to ISO9001 standard and utilise the manoeuvrability and lifting capacity of the forklift truck.
Supporting our claim to be able to reduce operator strain in any working environment, we also offer a range of industry-certified Pallet Trucks that will meet the demands of almost any pallet handling requirement. With our range including Rough Terrain, Galvanised, Semi-Electric, Electric, Scissor Lift, Heavy Duty, Mini, Narrow, Extra Long and the very versatile Adjustable Fork models, BiGDUG is confident that it can match a pallet truck to any commercial use.
Lower, single product weights and order picking in the factory, warehouse or retail outlet are addressed with our platform trucks, pallet cages, roll containers and shelf trolleys.
For single person handling and simple practicality, there is little to match the cost effective value of the sack truck. Our entry level Standard Sack Truck features pneumatic tyres, a strong tubular steel construction and a load capacity of 150kgs. This hugely popular sack truck is nevertheless available at a market-beating price and used in factories, warehouses, office buildings and courier van deliveries. But whether you want a standard sack truck, a sack truck with pneumatic or puncture-proof tyres, a lightweight aluminium sack truck or even a sack truck designed for a specific purpose – such as a Stairclimber or Chair-Shifter - BiGDUG will always have it available from stock.
Whereas the kind of truck or trolley you choose for the workplace will need to be for a job-specific use, the trolley used in the home is often for more general use. Our light tray trolleys are therefore available in stainless steel, chrome or plastic but are still suitable for the either the home or the office. Our wheelbarrows and garden trolleys are similarly suitable for commercial or domestic use.
