Amongst other remarkable personalities of India, the name of Guru Goraksh Nath can be easily recognized, being surrounded by many legends about his wonderful deeds. Those stories are so much strange, that they appearing more as fairy tales to the modern materialistically oriented minds, and it is very much difficult to believe in them presently. He described as flying in the air, turning a mountain into gold, creating alive people by his yogic powers and as doing many more supernatural miracles contradicting all laws of the modern science.
In the modern Hindi language even exist term, connected with his name: 'Goraksh dhanda', which translated literally means 'as bewildering as the deeds of Goraksh', and used to define events, which happening in intricate and mysterious circumstances.
Literally translated, the name Go-rakṣa means 'to defend cows'. In one of devotional couplets of Näthas, senses compared with indiscriminately wondering cows, which he protects as cowherd. Gorakh is the another variation of spelling of his name, having the same meaning.As historical personage, Goraksh Nath was widely famous all over India, as distinguished saint, who achieved remarkable heights in the practice of Yoga and acquired the supernatural powers. He traveled wide, in India and neighbor countries, and even today, many places there surrounded with the legends about his miracles. His powerful personality and achievements in yoga became the reason of creating huge fellowship, and many of kings contemporary to him become his disciples. It seems that at the time of formation of the Nätha order, he was unanimously accepted as an incarnation of Shiva, and in such way, many others ascetic sects were persuaded to be included in the newly created order. There exist many books attributed to the authorship of Goraksh Nath, some of which became milestones for further development of Yoga tradition. Amongst them, few are in Sanskrit and few are in the mediveal form of the different local dialects of India.
Not too much known about the place of his birth, and there exist lot of different opinions on this question by different scholars. The areas of the Bengal, Nepal, Assam, Punjab, Gujarat, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Maharashtra are usually mentioned in the legends about him.
In accordance with the opinions expressed by different researchers, he lived no earlier than 7th century and not later than 12th century A.D.… Earliest date based on the accepting as fact that he lived at the same time with the king of Nepal Narendra Deva, who ascended to the throne in about 640 A.D. and ruled till his death in 683 A.D.… The latest date based on the biography of the Saint Jñāneśvar, in accordance with which Goraksh Nath lived not long time before him.
The Natha Yogis believe that Goraksh Nath was more then human Guru, and insist on his miraculous non-human birth and immortality. It is told that he lived even before the creation has taken place, and through all four Yugas, and presented here even now, being invisible. Various accounts are showing him as meeting with the different people, who lived at the periods so far remote from each other that makes it impossible for the ordinary human being. He is described as unseen background and inspiriting power behind the manifestation of many saints at the different periods of history. Kabir, Guru Nanak, Guga Pir, Raja Bhartrihari and many others are traditionally connected with his personality. In accordance with some legends about him, he was not bound to one physical body, and was able easily leave own body and enter into other bodies, or to create one or few of them by his will and as such, he is an immortal. The Näthas believe that he is still alive and appears at different places, at the time when it is most relevant to protect Dharma. One of his latest manifestations regarded by Näthas, has happened about three hundreds years ago, when he walked in India as the Siddh Baba Masta Nath.
He always remained away from creating two many theoretical conceptions, and even his most philosophical book Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, counted by modern researchers as being only semi-philosophical work. This is not matter of big wonder, because he himself stating in the beginning of this book , that it is impossibly to express Absolute truth by written words, yet with purpose to bring ideas of Enlightened Siddha Yogis in front of the masses he attempting to express them. In such way, he stepping away from all possible future disputes, by accepting that from point of Absolute truth, all what he going to narrate, is only relative truth and only one of many points of view. He always insisted that Higher Spiritual reality can be realised and experienced only individualy in proccess of Yogic practises and can't be defined by debates.
Instead indulgence in different discussions and attempting prove superiority his doctrine over doctrines others, by argumentation, he practically realized essence of his teaching, and became alive example of Great yogi. Teaching, which he presented, very simple and strightforward oriented, it based on correct knowledge of subtle structures existing in body of each individual and laws existing in univerce. It so much logically connected, that even today it seems as very much wonderful. Life as Yoga and real example what yogi should to be like, such he was, and such is his teaching.
Conceptions are always only conceptions, and however refined and well argument they can be, at last point they felt they lead us to nowhere. More ever, while yoga advising restrain mind from all possible kinds of sensual activities, submersing mind in philosophy appearing as nothing else, but as one of the forms of the intellectual indulgence. Conforming ourselves by the well-balanced arguments will not save us from the inevitably coming death, and can be comparing with ostrich, who when he sees approaching danger puts his head deep into sand in hope to avoid it. "I am not see danger, it means it not existing, his logic sound good, but in reality, this is not the actual state of things, but only one of the ideas, which will not save him from the coming death.
Teaching of Guru Goraksh Nath is remarkable part of the Indian spiritual heritage, and can't be separated from it. As most of Indian Religions, it based on disappointment in materialistically aproachig of life, and highly emphasizing spiritual ideals as alternative to it. Be it Vedic, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh tradition, idea of impermanence and fickleness of life, very deeply rooted in all Indian spiritual culture. Why we came to this world? Is there some guiding invisible power behind frame of this material world, or we are only most highly developed form of animals? What real meaning of our lives? To get answer on these questions is crucial for deciding course of our lives.Where the last point to reach? Did we come here only to eat and make merry? Is this real means of our lives? Then why all these sorrows around?
All possible enjoyments prove themselves to be no more then sweet dreams when time to live this world comes. How much sorrow we filling when those whom we love so much and can't live without, leave us forever. And we cant't cange such situation or to stop it.
Day by day our own body, which we love so much, goes older and older, beyond of point of repair, and at last stage it inevitably going to be destroyed. Life spent in the attempts to get enjoyments by accepting body for Self, and not seeing any higher ideals, at last point leads as to nowhere. Actually, the idea of accepting body for Self by itself is fatal, becouse body definetly going to be destroed one day, but not the soul. We are coming in this world with empty hands and alone, and going from here with empty hands and alone. Even our body we have to live here, what to say about all kind of the material wealth we are collected, and this appearing as most total bankruptcy ever possible through which everybody have to pass at last. People are shameful to go through the bankruptcy in their lives, but no body feel shameful to die. Death is one of the realities of life, which no one can ignore, in front of which nothing of known remains true. Death makes no difference between reach and poor, strong and weak, neither it waits even for a moment, when its time has come.
Question "is there any Supreme force beyond of the frame of this material world, or all we are just eventual produce of evolution", was always in people's minds from the very beginning of the human civilization. All world religions agree that this life is full of sorrows, and impermanent, than is there something better than this, or any escape from it? Yogis tradition estabilished by Guru Goraksh Nath saying yes, there is a way. Material frame is going to die and be destroyed, but our souls are immortal and indestructible. By turning attention from the external material life, inside self, towards this Divine soul, we are stapping on the way to become spiritual.
It is difficult to get human birth (in accordance with Hindu believes our soul passes through different endless transmigrations, taking different kind of bodies each time), and it is only as humane beings we can reach emancipation from the cycle of births and deaths, 'chorasi lakhs yonis' (eighty four lakhs species of potential bodies to take birth). The soul of each individual has in itself the potential to reach higher realities, and it is our sacred duty to realize it.
The birth of Goraksh Nath
This is the traditional story of the appearance of the Guru Goraksh Nath in this world, in the form as it is popular amongst the Natha Yogis. This story is continuation from the story of Amar Katha, from Adi Nath page of this website.
After being initiated by the Lord Śiva, Yogi Matsyendra-Nath became absorbed in his yogic practices. He was practicing yoga in accordance with the guidances he got from Śiva, and he was performing worship of both: Śiva and Śakti. After twelve ears of practice he achieved great yogic powers and all possible siddhis. He traveled a lot, and became famous all over India and Nepal for his performing miracles, and propagating yoga.
Once in course his wondering he has reached the village Chandragiri, situated somewhere on the bank of the river Godavri. In this village, there were living the family of the householder Suraj and his wife Saraswati. While Matsyendra Nath was passing near their place, Saraswati greeted him respectefully and invited him to stay and to have food, and he accepted her offer. After Matsyendra Nath spent some time at their place, and when the time to live has come, he being pleased with her services told her to ask some favor from him.
Saraswati with folded hands and with tears in her eyes, told him that everything they were having in abundance, but there was no no child in their family. After learning this, the yogi has told her that this was not big problem for him to solve, and he can bless her with a boy. Then he taken some ash from his bag, spelled mantra over it and then given it to her. "What to do with it?"-She asked him in misunderstanding.
"Just eat it and you will get your child," the yogi answered. After saying this he left. When he disappeared from view, Saraswati still was standing on the road in misunderstanding. She was feeling that yogi has made a bad joke with her; even more she felt being cheated. She has asked him for a son, and instead he had given her this useless ash. In disappointment she has thrown the pouch given by him at the place where dry cow dung was kept (in some versions of the legend she was advised to do so by other woman). After some time, she forgot about the incident, and remind childless as before.
After twelve ears have passed, again it happened that Matsyendra Nath was passing by the same way. When he reached the place where Saraswati with her husband were living, after exchanging greetings, the first thing which he asked was: "I hope that your son is well, show me him right now?"
She look at him in misunderstanding in her eyes and answered:" I have no any child, about whom you are asking?
Matsyendra Nath was possessing yogic power duty which his words never were becoming untrue, so now his time to wonder has came, "Didn't I has blessed you with son twelve ears ago?"
On what Saraswati answered: "About which son you are talking, why do you make jokes with a poor women? Didn't you had given me only some ash which I have in abundance without you?"
Matsyendra Nath became astonished to listen what she was saying and at the same time greatly annoyed: "What, what did you done with ash I had given to you, did you eaten it?" he asked.
"No, not I did't eat it, but thrown it at the place where we keep cow dung."-She answered.
"Show me immediately that place!" has exclimbed Matsyendra Nath. .
Saraswati has showed him the place where twelve ears ago she had thrown the ash.
He reached there and called: "Where are you my child? Come out."
After some time from the midst of cow dung answer has come: "Here I am."
When the heaps of cow dung were removed, they found that under it there was seating a beautiful boy of twelve years old. All the people around became greatly astonished to see this wonder: "How it is possible, that boy was born from cow dung?" They was asking each other.
Matsyendra Nath has taken child away from the place he was sitting and told him: "You are a child born from the ash I had given to that women long time ago. Because she misused it she has no more right on you. So you will now become a yogi as I am, and from now your name will be Gorakh Nath. After some, both of them left the village and continued their pilgrimage together.
The Life story of Guru Gorakṣa-pa
In the Eastern India raja Devapal was ruling, who has one son. When the boy became twelve ears old, his mother queen, became very seek, and was about to die. Last words she spoke to her son were, that happiness and unhappiness of living beings are caused by good or bad deeds they (themselves) are performed (karma). (In accordance with Hindu believes our present lives are caused by our Karma- record of deeds we done in our previous lives. If we behave well, we are getting good consequences, and if we did bad to some one, we getting suffering as punishment. In such way man writing his own future fate by his own actions.) So she told him, that better to die, than to do evil to others. After saying this she breathed her last breath.
After some time people asked the king, who was still young, to marry other queen from another state and he did accordingly. After spending together with his new wife few days, raja went in jungle for hunting. When the new queen came on the roof of the palace, she saw there king's son. She became extremely fond of him, so that she sent messenger to him, inviting him to come near her. When he got her message, his answer was that he doesn't want to do so. After listening this, the queen felt herself greatly ashamed, and she thought: 'He showed me disrespect, (in front of the people), and what may be more painful for me! By any means he should be destroyed!' In anger she ordered servants immediately to kill him, but she was answered, that he is the only son of the king, and duty this reason it is impossible for them, to kill him.
(But enraged queen not became pacified on it), so she decided to destroy prince, by any cost and means, by applying her craftiness. The queen went to her room and made bloody injuries and scratches all over her body. She torn her closes to pieces and lay down on her bad in such state. When the king returned to the palace, he after seeing her state, asked her: 'Who did this with you?'
On what queen has told: 'This was done by your son'.
After listening her, the king became inflamed with anger and he told: 'Who ever did this misbehavior with you, we should be put to death immediately.' Then he called two of his executioners and ordered them to take prince to the jungle, and cut away his legs and hands. The both executioners thought, that it is not proper for them to kill the son of the king, so they decided instead, to kill they own sons and spare his life. They told to the prince that kill him is impossible for them, and duty this reason they would kill they own sons instead of him.
But the prince answered that doing so would be wrong, and that they should obey the order they got from the king, and kill him only. He told them the last words his mother was saying: 'Even to safe your life, don't do wrong things. So to fulfill the order given by the father, you should kill me'. They put him under a tree, and after cutting away his hands and legs, went away.
In such condition he was found there by yogi Achintya (Matsyendra Nath) who happen to pass by. Acharya accepted him as a disciple and initiated him into Yoga. After walking little distance from there, he saw few herdsman. When he came into their midst he has addressed to them, 'Do you see those vultures collected over there? At that place under a tree, one limbless man is laying. Who of you can go to him and take care of him?' One of cowherds, the boy who was from the caste of incense sellers, has agreed to go and to have a look. He told to the yogi: 'But I have one condition. I will accomplish your job, and you will have to make complete mine.
He went to the place in jungle as he was told by the yogi, towards the place where vultures were circling. After seeing the limbless prince, he returned back and told to the yogi: 'Yes, what you was saying is true.'
The yogi asked from cowherd boy: 'What you have for your daily food?'
The boy answered: "I am getting some food from our main cowherd. I will share half of it with him daily.' On listening his answer Achintya has told: 'Very kind of you, my child. Please take care of that limb-cut (Chor-ang) man properly.' After saying this he left.
Cowherd boy has built some hut over the helpless prince, and started daily provide him with food and what ever else was required. He also was cleaning away urine and excrement of helpless Chorangi, with his own hands. In such way twelve ears have passed. Once when he came to the hut as usually, he saw that prince was standing on his own legs. In amazing he asked him; 'How this became possible?'
The prince answered:'
"As result of the way given by the able Param Guru,
By explaining oneness of the mind and elements,
All natural laws merged into the one Supernatural law.
Going beyond of happiness and sadness,
Has made my legs and hands restored.'
While saying this he flew up from the ground, and remained seated in the air. He asked from cowherd:' (You are sincerely served me in course of twelve ears, and shared your food with me. You became more then brother for me. How I can pay for all you did for me?) Should I teach you yoga?'
On what he was answered:' (No I don't want anything in return for my services.) I did it because I was told to do so, by my Guru. Now you are no more helpless as before, so I think my work is up.' After saying this cowherd (leave him and) went back, to continue taking care of the cattle as before.
One day Mahayogi Achintya came again. The cowherd boy narrated him what has happening in course of the twelve ears, and yogi became pleased to know it. He accepted the boy as his disciple and initiated him in Yoga. Then he has left somewhere else.
The cowherd was doing worship in accordance with the guidance obtained from the guru, and at last he has achieved the realization of Maha-mudra (the Great seal, stage of Bodhisattva realization in Tantric Buddhism, or the State of the Great Union). One day Achintya came again and ordered him, that till then he will not initiate ten million people, he should not take mukti (the final liberation from the circles of birth and death) for himself. So to fulfill the order given by the guru, he started initiate all people to whom ever he happen to met. Then one day he was approached by Mahadeva (Siva) himself, who told him that he should not initiate each and every body indiscriminately, but should give initiation only to those who deserve it and who ask for it with proper respect. Those whose hearts are impure, and those who have no faith, must not be initiated at all.
After liberating uncountable number of people, and because he was cowherd, he became famous under name 'Goraksha'.
Even nowadays those who earnestly seek liberation, can get their initiation from him. Sincere and true in heart, get sight of him and can listen his Damru (kind of a drum) inside themselves. But he does not reveal his presence to those, who are selfish and who are in lack of faith and purity. Invisible he remains on the Earth even today.
On this story of Guru Goraksha is completed.

Base Coats / Primers - PRM
PRM is used as a base coat, leveling and reinforcement for the Waterway Drainable Stucco assembly, EIFS and direct-applied systems, as well as an adhesive for some foam system applications.
PRM is usually applied with stainless steel masonry trowels at a nominal 1/16 -1/8 inch. It can also be spray applied with proper equipment onto the substrate, then troweled to smooth out the surface. Over approved foam substrates and the Waterway Drainable Stucco Assembly, PRM should be used in conjunction with fiberglass reinforcing mesh.
Adhesive Applications
Apply to the backside of approved insulation board with a 3/8 inch notched trowel. Apply ribbons over the entire surface running parallel to the short dimension of the insulation. Immediately adhere insulation to properly prepared substrate using firm pressure across the entire surface making positive contact. Place the board on the substrate about 2-3 inches from desired finished location and slide into place to ensure positive contact. Stagger all seams and joints, avoid gaps in foam surface.
Base Coat Applications

Kachan expects to see more innovative funding opportunities like Mosaic in 2014. "You will also see new systems, new
initiatives targeted at the space, many of which for the frst
time offer investors the chance to make money at making small
investments in projects or innovation," he said. Kachan cautions that he has some reservations about the long-term viability of equity-based crowdfunding — he worries what will happen when investors lose money, which undoubtedly will occur
at some point. "I think it's not going to take too many of those
squeezes, those so-called down-rounds, and the requirements
for pro rata investment. These things are going to potentially bite investors and it might turn off people from equity-based
crowdfunding," he explained. But nonetheless, he's certain that
we will see lots more in the fnancial innovation space in 2014.
"Some people will make some money in doing this [equity-basedcrowdfunding] and that willencourage others."Konrad agrees that fnan-cial innovation in renewableenergy is probably going tobe THE story of 2014. Everthe mathematician, Kon-rad guesses that about 60-75percent of renewable ener-gy investment will be drivenby fnancial innovation, withthe remainder being drivenby policy, which he also feelswill be favorable, at least onthe state level, in 2014.

Apache Creek Golf Club – Apache Junction, Arizona
I learned more about the golf swing in the 2 1/2 days I spent at the "Secrets Of The Golfing Machine" workshop with Chuck and Lynn than I have in almost 70 years of golf.
-Peggy Kirk Bell, World Golf Hall of Fame Member
My handicap index went from 8.4 to 4.1 after spending 2 days with Chuck Evans. I also received the "Most Improved Player" award from the Georgia Golf Association. I'm coming back to see Chuck and cut it in half again!
-Lee Griffin, GA
Junior Golf Academy
Chuck Evans, whose peers refer to as the "Teacher of the Teachers", has personally designed the Chuck Evans Golf Performance Junior Program as an advanced, comprehensive coaching program for young golfers who are playing competitive golf and want to compete at the High School, collegiate level and beyond.
We also offer beginner or less experienced players to learn the basic fundamentals of golf. Students do NOT have to have any prior golf experience to be on this team, but they must be an attentive student and want to learn.
Why Chuck Evans Golf Performance Coaching
Since 1970, Chuck Evans Golf Performance has provided the best golf lessons in Apache Junction, Arizona offering world-class golf instruction to golfers of all ages and abilities. These players have lowered their handicaps, improved their driving, iron play, and putting. They have learned how to hit pitch shots like the Pros and they have NO fear of bunker play!
Our base philosophy starts with what is the ball doing? What are the hands doing to affect the ball? What is the body doing to affect the hands?
Is the player hitting it solid? Are they controlling the path and clubface, and are they generating enough power to play from the tees they have chosen.
Our rule of thumb for choosing what tees to play from is based on a simple equation.
Take your average 5 iron distance and multiply it by 37… that's the length we recommend you play from… and have more FUN! For example, if your average 5 iron distance is 175 yards then your course distance will be 6475 yards.
Best golf lessons in Apache Junction Arizona
Chuck Evans has helped players from rank beginners to the game's top touring professionals. Extraordinary knowledge combined with his ability to explain the 4 Simple Tenets in a clear and concise manner is why he is a GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher.
All told, Chuck has helped players from the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, LPGA Tour, European Tour, Nationwide Tour and various mini-tours with their games. But his heart is in helping junior golfers and players that are not already great players!

A formal approach to data management is often underestimated and frequently undervalued. Data is the lifeblood of an oil and gas company and having good data management practices can play a major role in helping companies be competitive.
Effective data management is not simply a case of having enough storage capacity and a making sure you have a back-up procedure. Sound data management includes:
- Data governance strategy
- Integration across systems
- Stewardship
- Tiered storage approaches
- Quality processes and version control
- Policies to oversee data and avoid duplication
Consequently, achieving these objectives is the result of both systems and process. With regulatory pressures brought to bear data management strategy must be clearly defined, repeatable and auditable, allowing risks to be quantified and ultimately mitigated.
With 15 years' experience deploying IT solutions for oil and gas companies we know how to develop robust data management strategies, processes and tools for your business whilst delivering all the technology you need to support them.
If you need to turn the spotlight on your data management practices or are considering a review of your strategy please talk to us for impartial domain specific advice.

Photographer's Note
Cusco is one of those cities where i wish i could go back to. We left the city only because we had already pre-booked time in Lima - BIG Mistake.
Cusco was by far our favorite of the two, and when we look back at it now we wish we could trade our 3 days in Lima, live and learn i suppose. I'm sure you have experienced similar situations along in your travels too.
This little girl on the bike and the boy were fascinated by me, and i have the say the feeling was 100% mutual :)
They kept coming up to me and seemingly wanting to play. Of course i took full advantage and snapped off a few photos to forever re-live and capture the moment.
thanks for looking

Hi Craig,
Simple life on high altitude location where the entire landscape seems to be reddish brown below blue sky. Fun to see a head on PoV of this little cyclist coming at you. Thinking about the wide angle, I need to ask: How did you avoid the collision?
krzychu30 (15512) 2014-04-05 6:36
Hi Craig,
maybe sometimes is even better to not have enough of some places as it push us even stronger to visit it again.
This for sure is great capture from Cusco and very inviting one.Smiling and welcoming children,dog running around give the scene very nice feel.
But I love also the whole scenery-this russet ground and strong color contrast to the blue sky.
Have a nice weekend
Romano46 (18472) 2014-04-05 6:48
Ciao Craig
nonostante i disturbi dell'altitudine te e il tuo grandangolo non avete perso l'occasione per una bella fotografia nella quale il POV e il particolare obiettivo assolvono egregiamente il compito di proporre una inquadratura diversa dalle altre.
Di particolare nota i colori sui toni caldi del rosso che interpretano molto bene il paesaggio circostante.
Eccellente la nitidezza e piacevole il soggetto inserito in una composizione molto efficace.
Ciao e buon fine settimana
holmertz (83464) 2014-04-05 7:11
Hello Craig,
A nice and unassuming picture of the kind I like. You know how much I prefer human conditions to pompous cathedrals. Did you actually play with these kids or just snap pictures? Or maybe that was enough to satisfy them. I like the background too, showing us some of the environment they're living in. In rural places like this I would rather keep a very safe distance to dogs running loose, but it's nice to watch.
Take care,
batalay (41261) 2014-04-05 7:51
Hello Craig,
Fantastic shot of the children in Cuzco, as well as for your note. I have elevated Cuzco over Lima for places to see, based on your comment. There appears to be a great deal of clay, or at least iron in the soil. A fill flash here might have been useful to illuminate the faces of the children.
Warm regards,
dta (95628) 2014-04-05 7:53
Hello Craig ,
That is both a fine double portrait and a superb composition showing us where the children live . I like their friendly smiles , too .
snunney (130965) 2014-04-05 7:56
Hello Craig,
A vibrant daily life image featuring these two kids and a dog. Well composed with superb saturated colours and excellent sharpness. A fine souvenir.
tyro (29026) 2014-04-05 8:07
Hi Craig,
I love your note - how much better it might have been had you known beforehand that Cusco would have been more enjoyable than Lima - but, then, others might have different views on the matter and you were probably best to have the chance to make up your own mind.
And I love these kids too - they look great fun and, once again, your wide "city" lens has exaggerated the perspective, this time making the little girl appear almost dwarfed behind the huge front wheel of her bicycle.
A delightful photograph with lovely composition, the two children interacting well with each other and also with the photographer, lovely light, fine vibrant colours and your usual exquisite detail and sharpness.
Kind Regards,
P.S. I suppose there's no chance that you had any contact details for these children? How fantastic it would be to be able to send them or their family this picture!
ricardomattos (12139) 2014-04-05 8:34
Hi Craig,
A very nice scene of these children. Good moments of happyness.
rogerl (1632) 2014-04-05 10:41
Craig, the kids in this photo look very happy and, as you say, very interested in you and your camera. Nice composition as well - all browns below, all blues above. Wonderful sharpness. Thanks.
mesutilgim (115572) 2014-04-05 11:25
Hello Craig,
How nice to be a child !
Nice capture with an even nicer title. The cloudy saky creates a perfect background to this joyfull scenery.
TFS and have a nice weekend
nikkitta (17070) 2014-04-05 11:44
Hola Craig
Quite agree with you, Cuzco and Sacred Valley are the best way to enjoy, know, about people and their habits
I have touching memories of the natives kindness
Nice scene of the girl coming towards you and the crossing dog at the back
Colors of earth and houses are in great contrast with the blue sjy
Well done
jjcordier (79299) 2014-04-05 23:21
Tes petits "modèles" locaux semblent avoir apprécié la séance de prise de vue! Très belle et intéressante composition.
Royaldevon (64478) 2014-04-06 0:49
Hello Craig,
Utterly charming!
This is how kids should be, curious, outdoors, laughing, moor intent on the excitement of the moment than having their hair neatly in place!
It is quite an experience having them move straight towards the screen!
The light is glorious and the details giving us a clear appreciation of the context.
Have a great Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hi Craig
a magical shot this. Love your POV and of course the amazing clarity, but it is these two irresistible characters that makes it so special. I love the rawness of this image it captures the moment superbly.
Enjoy a peaceful Sunday - B.
mirosu (16313) 2014-04-06 3:59
Hello Craig,
Excellent daily life snapshot in superb light, nice colors. I like the straight viewpoint, and also the smiling faces enjoying your photo action. The overall composition with the white house and nice cloudy sky s perfect.
Very well done.
Wish you a nice Sunday.
SnapRJW (31631) 2014-04-06 5:37
Hello Craig - This is special. I do like the way the little girl seems to be riding right at you and your lens makes the front tyre look enormous compared to the child! I guess these two are sister and brother, they look happy and contented and more than a bit interested in you and your camera.
A shot with charm and good location details.
Warm regards
A really playful shot here, Craig - you can really sense their excitement, and the position of the bike itself - straight at you - creates a nice sense of interaction for the viewer, I think. And of course, behind them, a stray dog - I'm amazed by the sheer number of stray dogs in South America! They were everywhere in Chile, Uruguay and Argentina during my visit there.
Thanks for the colorful and fun shot!
dale54 (16154) 2014-04-06 11:46
craig hello..amazing capture..color contrast of earth and sky does it for me..plus you got the kid's to smile! love it..tfs. dale
willperrett (13428) 2014-04-06 13:34
Hello Craig
Like it! The wide angle gives a sense of space, and shows plenty of the immediate environment, which isn't "pretty", but I'm sure characteristic. Indeed you've managed to present Cusco as almost empty: two kids and a stray dog. Yet the smiles clearly suggest that they're happy in this large playground.
npecanhuk (79319) 2014-04-06 13:40
Hi Craig!
Lovely daily life photograph!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, horizontal format, slim black borders and, above all, chosen pov and composition are all excellent!
They seem to be enjoying both moments (playing together and having their picture taken)!
TFS - congrats,
ChrisJ (152610) 2014-04-06 15:27
Hi Craig,
Love the warm vs cold color contrasts here and the superb sharpness in this nice daily life shot of kids being kids. The dog top right adds a fine secondary focal point. Excellent density levels that have given punchy light contrasts and saturated colors. A good exposure on the highlights. Tfs!
jcpix (14030) 2014-04-06 19:35
Hi Craig,
Haha, the first thing that comes to mind now when I see your pictures featuring people is "Gert's influence." :) He must be starting to feel like a proud mentor, right?
I must admit, this kind of shot does hold more of an emotional connection...especially when it involves kids. You almost can't help but smile...which is saying a lot, because I generally don't like them! lol
It may be a still image, but it feels as if it's in motion...the wide angle works great to get that up close appeal. More than anything though, it really is those smiles that welcome any viewer to this picture. And as a "dog guy" myself, a nice bonus to have that one in the background. A great memory to have, just a day in the life! Cool shot. Enjoy the rest of the evening. Take it easy.
Cheers from the desert,
I'm sure you all worked up a thirst after playing around for a bit, hope you had a Fanta or two. :)
rychem (68111) 2014-04-06 22:21
Excellent reportage photo, i think it is an emotional photo and i can understand you thet you wont to go again to Cus o
ikeharel (98934) 2014-04-08 7:54
Hello Craig,
The stray dog made a nice added element on this scene, besides the kids in this (god-forsaken) town.
And I can explain: Cusco known among SA travellers as the most dangerous town in Peru, not advisable to be alone there, and especially lady-tourists.
Anyway, smiling kids are nice everywhere in our little planet, and you managed superb photo showing them.
Best regards,
delpeoples (60326) 2014-04-08 14:11
Gidday Craig
What a great title and that feeling is echoed so well in the photo. These two are such cuties, how could you resist? As you said, this trip was where your people shots have really come to the fore, and I'm sure you will remember these lively kids far longer than you will remember the impressive land and cityscapes you saw. After all, at the end of the day, it's the people that make your trip, don't you think? I really like the effect the wide angle lens has had here, slightly distorting the little fella's bicycle wheel. The desolation of the BG tells a story too. Despite such simplicity (and perhaps poverty - I hope not) in their lives, these kids openly greet you with all the joy and innocence that kids all around the world used to be able to show. That beauty has unfortunately been lost in the western world of Kids being told not to talk to strangers and burying their heads in Nintendo games instead of engaging with real people. A good or bad thing, I don't know for sure.
What you mentioned in your note about booking places and then wanting to stay longer in others, is so much part and parcel of travelling. It's why we rarely book. The plus side is that if we love a place, we stay longer. The negative is that sometime (and this had happened only once or twice) we haven't found accommodation in the place we want. But usually it works for us.
Well, thanks for sharing this beautiful photo, have a great day, night, whatever it is on your side of the Orb
subhendu_bagchi (26091) 2014-04-09 2:41
hello, this is really a nice capture from urban street. I like your chosen POV. Great colour tone and nice light. I like the smile of her, in cycle. Excellent d/l shot. Tfs.
ourania (51103) 2014-04-12 7:28
Hello Craig,
this is a very special picture, you are presenting a remote and little known place and have captured the eager and friendly expressions of the children and their interaction with you superbly. I like very much the dynamism you have created in this solid and simple setting, which is remarkably deep and sharp. The colours are natural and most appealing. I also like the sky and the sense of vastness beyond the buildings. The energy of the moment is conveyed most effectively. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
boa (8039) 2014-04-13 12:40
Hi Craig,
you´re lucky to have been visiting Cusco/Peru. A very interesting country that i also want to visit in the forthcoming years. Beautiful photograph of these two kids, the lights and colors are both excellent. The surrounding environments are fabulous, well done mate.
Best regards/
Gigidusud (21669) 2014-04-13 13:38
Hi Craig,
Beautiful daily life scene well captured. I like the laughter of children and the shadow of the little girl and the bike on the red earth. Well done!
Best regards.
Angshu (56760) 2014-04-15 1:15
Hi Craig
The wide angle view is surely why this shot is so attractive in the first place...The tyre of the cycle seems to be wide indeed. The smiling faces of the children brighten up the scene. Its also interesting and nice how the red soil contrasts with the blue sky. Fine work!
adores (46979) 2014-04-29 16:39
Hi Craig!
Seems the big bike is not a problem for the girl:)! One of those places I'm sure I would enjoy a lot and one of those moments that stay forever. I like the scene very much, with the houses and dog in background and the children so happy with your presence!
Miguel82 (36132) 2014-06-26 11:51
This is a fantastic shot Craig, bravo, moreover I really like your title, easy to obtain, there are rules and no surprises. Great front face pov, smiling children with a touch of shyness, regards

Today's Scripture: But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk… 1 Corinthians 7:17a
Once there was a poor, lowly stone cutter. As he was working, he saw people gathering together and knew it must be the king. The stone cutter joined the crowd and gazed longingly at the king. As he was admiring the king's power and majesty, he thought to himself, "I wish I had the power and majesty of a king."
Suddenly, he was transformed from a stone cutter to a king. He felt wonderful about the power he had until he was traveling to another place. The sun was scorching him and his entire entourage. All the people with him were being overcome by the great heat of the sun, so he thought, "I wish I was as powerful and radiant as the sun."
Immediately, he became the sun. He enjoyed being so powerful and radiant. He could see the great kings of the earth withering in the heat. He felt very powerful until a cloud moved right in his path.
He then wished that he was a cloud; suddenly, he became a cloud! He loved being a cloud. Not only was he able to stop the power of the sun, but he also was developing into a storm cloud. He drenched the earth with rain. There were now rivers where there were never rivers before.
He was excited about the power he had as a cloud until he noticed that the water could move everything in its path except the stones. He wished that he was as unmovable as the stones, and immediately he became a stone.
As a stone, no flood of the earth could move him. He felt unmovable and strong until he heard a lowly stone cutter coming his way. He quickly realized that he was not as powerful as he thought when the humble stone cutter started chipping away at this great immovable rock.
People seek glory and power and will never find it. We must be content with the place God wants us and where He has put us. That is the only place we can find true fulfillment.
Devotional by Jim Scudder Jr.

Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
jjjjjmarking. The anal glands/sacs are located on either side of the anus, just under the skin, at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions. The glands are embedded in the muscle of the anal sphincter and are not readily visible. Sometimes when you clean that butt in the tub, you get a lot of brown on your cloth. That's the glands emptying, and it stinks. It is usually a dark brown and should have the consistency of water. Here's where I am leaving science behind and just going on my own observation. I strongly believe that where there is supposed to be hair on a hairless animals, systems don't work correctly. We all have a protective film on our skins at all times, called the "Acid Mantle." It's made up of sebaceous secretions (that's body oil) and sweat. Not gross, it actuall keeps bacteria out of the body. You know how bald guys get shiny heads? That explains the oily cats. And the ear wax. When you dip a piece of cloth in water, the water creeps up the cloth. That's how it works with body hair (or fur) an

Delivering All Things Music From the UK. Introducing The Sovereign Sound 'London Project'
Hello music lovers. Sorry for the absence of posts, news, tweets, and sweets, but C Note and I have been trying to settle into our respective homes for the next four months – in London, England.

Lili Cheng: Designing Experiences for Social Computing
March is Women in Technology Month. We kick off the festivities on Channel 9 with a great conversation with an industry thought leader in interactive user experience design and architecture.
Meet Lili Cheng, general manager of Microsoft's Future Social Experiences (FUSE) Labs, which focuses on software and services that are centered on social connectivity, real-time experiences, and rich media. Lili's a big fan of and active participant in social communication and the interactive design of social computing on the web.
Lili talks to @ritzy and @Carmine007 about her tenure at Microsoft which started in 1995. Lili is another shining example of a successful woman in technology, but more importantly her full time job consists of both pushing the envelope of social interaction and the inventing new experiences for social computing. Push on, Lili and team!

The Discussion
Lili's a great interview!I thought her comparisons of architecting buildings and operating systems were interesting.
Indeed. In some sense, they are different manifestations of the same basic thing (conceptually, from a complexity perspective; each with a large number of interacting pieces that together express the design in the concrete (literally, in the building case)).
I agree that her being a woman in tech is irrelevant, she's a really awesome "Social Architect" that conveys herself as a really cool person and Microsoft employee.
Charles, too bad you can't get interviews with gals without your flame-haired friend
Jennifer does a great job and adds the right perspective to this series and the conversations therein (not to mention being a co-creator of WM_IN).

Here is proof! The DOR had the camera ready and Shandi gave me her "Jack's a tard" face. She shakes her head and sometimes curls her lip when she does this. I got the tard face last night because she had gobbled her treats and I wouldn't share mine. Well I think she is being bratty! I did give her a nip on her little smarty rear...that will teach her. If she doesn't learn from getting nipped I may have to give her an appy hoof on her butt. Any advice from the mares out there would be appreciated.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!

Hey, how are you doing. Looking at your horses reminds me of my child hood days on the farm with all the horses. Every now and then I think, I should get a horse and board it at my Mom's, then I snap out of it. I can barely work with all the animals I have now! I liked your quote of the week.

I love the inlet lid it makes milking much easier.
Posted by Lauren on 28th May 2015
I have used this milker with different goats & even a few ewes. IT ALWAYS WORKS WELL!!!! I am grateful to have it - it saves my hands - and with "wilder" sheep, other body parts as well (if you have ever tried to milk a ewe that has never been handled, you know what I mean)
Posted by Unknown on 16th May 2015
I love the concept of the inlet lid . I have been using them for years. The only thing I don't like is I feel like the weakest point of the lid is where the inlets are I've had several inlets snap off the lid. If improvement can be made that's where I would make it.
Posted by TammyMc on 1st Apr 2015
Ordered the product since my "homemade" version was not keeping a seal...best decision ever! Would recommend to anyone with a Henry Milker or any hand device.
Posted by Weze on 27th May 2012
This lid is wonderful. Easy to clean, easy to use. The whole system works well, and is tolerated well by my goats. keeps the hay, hair ,etc out of the milk. Just take jar back to kitchen and cool the milk.

(Frightfest Day 3)
This should have been 'A Serbian Film' but some finger wagging moron in a suit stopped that from happening.
So instead we got this.
It takes an audacious verve to try and set an entire film in one location. It takes balls of cast iron to make that location a rudimentary coffin underground with a cast of one. And it takes pure talent to make it into an efficient thriller that holds you for every minute of its running time. So it was quite fortunate to discover that the people involved in making this appear to have more than a touch of all three.

We Are What We Are [Somos lo que hay]
(Frightfest Day 3)
A slow examination of the hysterical fallout a family suffers on their relationships when the father passes away, pushed into excellence by concurrently examining the impact this event has on the family's cannibalistic blood rituals.

(Frightfest Day 2)
Not the crazy FX laden madness I was expecting, more a magnificently understated road movie built around the fragile relationship that forms between the two leads.
Furthermore when the creatures do make their fleeting appearances it's like a Lovecraft rendition of Jurassic Park that effortlessly assuages any disappointment that may have formed.

I Spit On Your Grave [2010 Remake]
(Frightfest Day 2)
A two part affair, the first being a meditation on the harrowing nature of gang rape at the hands of drooling rednecks. The second, a study in how well-planned steely vindication can make the sight of a man getting his own cock stuffed in his mouth elicit a rousing cheer from an audience.

The Expendables
Turgid dialogue, that allows aged men to liberally piss testosterone over each other, links impressive explosions to form a story that resembles a mangled abortion shat out of the bloated corpse of the eighties with an excellent all-out scrap at the end.

There's just not enough space here to describe everything that is wrong with this film. In fact I could probably dedicate a whole second blog solely to describing why this film is so fucking bollocks and I would still run out of space.

An all time favourite that glows a little brighter with every new viewing.
Casually demonstrates the beauty that can be locked in stillness and the resplendence to be found in decay all of which is thrown onto the screen with a staggering level of restraint.

I set out to hate but by the end it had won me round, damn it.

Toy Story 3 [IMAX 3D]
An exceptional slice of cinema that excels in every way.
"But it's a kids movie", yes and it excels at it. I was immediately informed that this has 'smashed' into Charlotte's 'Top 3'.
"But it's an animation", yes and it excels at it. In the start sequence alone there are two explosions (one involving a shitload of simians) that are simply orgasms for the eyeball.
"Ah, but is it really cinema?", yes. And it excels at it. To give an example there is an incinerator moment toward the end of the film which moved me more than a shocking majority of grown-up cinema. I forgot I was watching toys.

A 23-year-old man has been charged with the shooting of a man at a Leesburg, Virginia, hotel on New Year's Day.
Officers were called to the Clarion Inn on East Market Street just after 5:30 a.m. for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found a 33-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds to the torso.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is listed in stable condition.
The Leesburg Police Department later identified 23-year-old Justin Robin as the suspect, and Robin turned himself in to police Monday night.
He has been charged with aggravated malicious wounding.
The motive for the shooting is unclear, but police say it does not appear to be gang related.

Vinyasa Yoga, Dynamic Yoga
Emily graduated from Arizona State University with her Bachelor's degree in History and Geography in 2010, in addition to having degrees in culinary arts and management. Emily felt driven to share the beauty that yoga brought into her life with others. Inspired by one of her own instructors, Vivienne Sio Tarquinio, Emily completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training in June 2011 in Scottsdale, Arizona at Life Power. She is certified through Yoga Alliance and is an active member in the organization. Emily studied under renowned yoga instructors, Jenn Chiarelli and John Salisbury, nationally recognized in the United States and abroad.
"Yoga is a part of my everyday life, my practice is always evolving. I love sharing my life experience with others in hopes that my teaching resonates and inspires. I am driven to help others seek sustainable wellness. A concept of being aware of your life and surroundings, people, places, things and managing all these components in a healthy, forward moving way that is natural and easy to maintain, not just another diet, trend, or fad."
'There are many pieces that change based upon the season, but I like that Wellicious' designs keep in line with more traditional yoga apparel. '
Jeanne Fregil
Dublin, Ireland
Bikram & Baptiste Yoga, Barkan Method
After dabbling into various physical activities, I discovered yoga in 2006 in Manila, my hometown. From my first day of practice, yoga had a deep impact in the way I perceive myself and the world around me. Initially, I did the yoga for its physical benefits but now, I do it for the mental clarity and that sense of inner peace I get after a good practice. It has taught me to be fearless in the face of challenges.
My calling is to share with the world the gift of yoga. In 2008, I completed Bikram Yoga 9-week teacher training with Bikram Choudhury in Acapulco. I have also trained with Jimmy Barkan (levels 1, 2 &3), and Baron Baptiste (Power Vinyasa Yoga).
In 2011, my life dream came true when I opened my own yoga studio in Dublin where I help my students change their life one pose at a time.
'I have a few Wellicious pieces and I love the leggings and the cool top the most. The cool top is very flattering and the look can be used in and out of the studio!'
Blanche de MarionChamonix, FrancePower, Hatha & Vinyasa FlowBlanche began practicing yoga very young and was trained for many years across different countries in the world. She debuted in the Ashtanga and Jivamukti Yoga with Tina James in Canada in 2004. She then spent several months in India where she followed the teaching of Ashtanga by Rolf & Marcy in Goa and then graduated by Yoga Alliance with Vijay Amar in Daramshalla where she also had the chance to follow the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. A few years after she turned to the practice of Flow yoga and completed the first module of Prana Flow with Simon Park which inspired her extremely in her teaching. Blanche teaches a fluid and dynamic yoga that is accessible to all levels. She is a certified Yoga Alliance yoga teacher and her courses are in French and English. She lived for several years in the beautiful valley of Chamonix Mont Blanc in France where she organizes many events around yoga as the "Chamonix Yoga Festival", hiking yoga retreats, yoga standup paddle as well as a Yoga & Surf camp in France.
'I like them because the clothes are Organic and well designed. I feel really good teaching when wearing Wellicious.'
Jeanette FuchsSalzburg, AustriaFor Jeanette Yoga is more than a means to express her creativity and aesthetics, but her Yoga practice also became an essential tool to combine physical wellbeing with mental peace. She pays attention to powerful and dynamic flow sequences that are fun and awake the joy of life. Jeanette has discovered the regenerative effect of Yin Yoga and cleansing Detox Yoga sessions not only in her own practice but also through her students. In addition to Yoga, traveling is another one of her passions. Her travels to Yoga workshops get her to meet international personalities on a regular basis. Jeanette prefers practicing Yoga at inspiring places around the world - whether in California, Mexico or India, whether in Bali or in the Algarve. She has a yearly Yoga travel event called "Yoga with friends" which goes on to with Jeanette, Yoga teacher Antje and event planner Maryam every year since 2012. The Yoga Experience – 2012 in Mallorca and 2013 in Tuscany – gives the opportunity for enthusiasts to relax quickly and become friends in a Mediterranean atmosphere. More Yoga travel events will take place in cooperation with Yoga Place Salzburg in 2014.

|Cooking time:
|15 mins
1. Season the steaks with black pepper and a little oil and set them aside while you heat a grill or griddle pan.
2. Halve the COOKS&CO chillis, scrape out and discard the seeds. Shred the flesh finely then put it into a mixing bowl with the juice of the lime, the sugar, fish sauce and the sweet chilli sauce. Mix thoroughly.
3. Remove the stem and central vein from the lime leaves then roll up the leaves and shred them very, very finely. Put them in a serving dish. Roughly chop the coriander leaves and the mint. Cut the cucumber and carrot into matchstick-size pieces, peeling it first if you wish, then add them to the lime leaves with the chopped herbs.
4. Wash the watercress and remove the stems. Slice the tomatoes into thin segments and add with the watercress to the rest of the salad. Grill the steaks briefly, salting them as they cook. They should be nicely singed on the outside and deep rosy pink within. Slice them into finger-thick strips, then toss with the salad and dressing. Serve while the steak is still hot.
5. Finally finish with a liberal scattering of crushed peanuts.

The prosecution said Saddam Hussein and two of his seven co-defendants should be put to death for war crimes.
The trial has now adjourned and judges will consider their verdict after final defence arguments on 10 July.
The defendants deny being responsible for the deaths of 148 Shia Muslim villagers in the 1980s.
The men are accused of launching a crackdown in the village of Dujail after a failed assassination attempt on Saddam Hussein.
In other developments:
In the trial of Saddam Hussein and seven former aides, all defendants were in court as proceedings resumed on Monday.
Chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Mussawi said: "We demand the maximum punishment for Saddam, [his half-brother] Barzan al-Tikriti and [former vice-president] Taha Yassin Ramadan."
"They were spreading corruption on Earth... and even the trees were not saved from their oppression," Mr Mussawi said.
Saddam Hussein, dressed in a black suit, muttered sarcastically from the dock: "Well done."
Mr Mussawi asked for charges against one defendant, Baath party official Mohammed Azawi Ali, to be dropped and for him to be freed.
The prosecutor also asked for three other defendants - Baath officials Abdullah Kadhem Ruaid, Ali Daeem Ali and Mizher Abdullah Ruaid - to be treated leniently.
Mr Mussawi made no specific calls on the fate of Awad Hamad al-Bandar, former chief judge of Saddam Hussein's revolutionary court.
Another prosecution lawyer, whose name has not been released for security purposes, had opened Monday's proceedings by saying defendants had "carried out a systematic, wide-scale attack" in Dujail.
"They carried out broad imprisonments of men, women and children, who were exposed to physical and mental torture, including the use of electrical shocks," he said.
The lawyer argued that the assassination attempt had been "fabricated" for "political aims".
The defence has argued the crackdown was necessary in the wake of an attempt to kill Saddam Hussein.
It has also claimed that some of the 148 people the prosecution says were killed are still alive.
The trial has so far lasted eight months and has been criticised by some international legal experts.
Some said the defence had been given a disproportionately short period to present its witnesses.
The trial has also been marred by the killing of two defence lawyers and the resignation of the first chief judge in January.
