Poprad is the gateway to the High Tatras. Whether you're coming here by road or rail you'll have to pass through this sizeable city to those tempting and frankly quite bizarre looking mountains just beyond. And of course the question is: why stop? Why indeed, when there's the beginnings of a mountain wilderness with amazing hiking, skiing and climbing just a half hour's drive or mountain rail ride away? The question seems more poignant yet when you see Poprad's centre which, somewhat spoiled by tasteless '60's and '70's development, is no Levoča – not, in other words, with a great deal of old-fashioned charm. But after a concentrated couple of days in Poprad this weekend gone, Englishmaninslovakia has come up with a list of Poprad's plus points – and the list is longer than many might think.
1: Get the Info
Before you rush off into the mountains, it's worth pausing to find out exactly what you can (and, sometimes, can't) do there – and Poprad is the fount of all Tatras outdoor activities knowledge. There are several key bases you might want to head to – Ždiar for culture, Tatranská Lomnica for the highest mountains, Starý Smokovec area for some of the main chairlifts up into the mountains proper (and the most abundant accommodation) or Štrbské Pleso for the biggest ski resort, great hiking and that cherry on the cake of Tatras Hotels, Grand Hotel Kempinski. Do you, for example, want to go husky sledding? Would you like to stay in fancy accommodation or huddle in a mountain house? Do you like hanging from a chain off a precipice or not?
The answers to all these and more will influence where you want to end up, and Poprad's perfect for providing answers. You can check out the pleasant little tourist information office or scout out the veritable mine of Tatras information that is Adventoura tours (actually Poprad's coolest tour agency and offering loads of different activities).
Yeah – so get all the info you need, which will take an hour or two, and then go off and do something like – well – one of the things right below!
2: Spišská Sobota
Spišská Sobota is one of the best-preserved clutches of medieval architecture anywhere in Slovakia. It doesn't grab the headlines like nearby Levoča does but it's almost as splendid. The Gothic Kostol Svätého Juraja (Church of St George) at the western end of the long tapered oval of the námestie dates from the 13th century originally and – get this – the enigmatic but highly regarded Master Pavol was responsible for the altar here. Just across the way is the church architect's old workshop.
But quality is kept high in the modern day too in Spišská Sobota. Poprad's best restaurants flank the square here (such as Vino & Tapas, where the owner cooked for the Queen when she visited Poprad, on the northern side – or Fortuna on the southern side). Then there's the atmospheric accommodation options in and around the square (again, in our opinion, Poprad's best (Penzión Sabato, Penzión Fortuna or, a block off the square, Penzión Plesnivec).
Oh, and how do you find Spišská Sobota? You take the main road Štefánikova and follow it (or the river running alongside it) east from the centre for about 1.5km, past Aqua City, then turning left at the sign for Penzión Plesnivec. Or follow the river along passing Aqua City until you hit the bridge by Hotel Sobota, turn left then take the first right up the hill to where you can already see the Spišská Sobota church tower.
3: Aqua City
On the surface of it this looks like we're already clutching at straws but no, Poprad's Aqua City is the perfect way to counteract and sooth any aches and pains from a strenuous few days' worth of hiking. A total of 13 indoor and outdoor geothermal pools, all with temperatures in the mid- to high thirties (and that's after being reduced from a natural 49 degrees): Aqua City might look starkly modern but its comforts are guaranteed. There's a hotel and wellness centre, of course, with a Thai massage centre & the like.
4: Kvetnica
Ten minutes' drive outside Poprad is a forest park which gives you better views of the High Tatras than you get in the High Tatras (if you want an overview of the whole range, that is). There's a farm here which may be your best chance to see the timid mouflon (large-horned mountain sheep) that have a large enclosure of several acres here. In Kvetnica there's also a network of hiking and mountain biking trails and a chateau. Kvetnica is also much more verdant than a lot of the Tatras are – it makes for a gentle and enjoyable afternoon's walk. Ask at the Poprad Tourist Information how to find it – it can be quite tricky.
5: Podtatranské Muzeum
This museum has a fascinating new exhibition on the ancient treasures of a 4th-century Germanic prince dug up recently during construction of an industrial park, as well as permanent exhibits on Poprad since, er, Neolithic times.
6: The Tatranská Galeria (Tatras Art Gallery)
This art gallery is well worth a visit – you don't expect to find culture in a mountain resort supply town but here it most definitely is. We keep meaning to write a separate post on Poprad's art scene but until we get round to it, know that the key venue is on Hviezdoslavová 12 inside the building known as the Elektráreň (Power Plant). It hosts some pretty damned good exhibitions!
7: Caffe Trieste – in a Bell Tower!
In one of the buildings that still retains its old-fashioned grace (the bell tower right behind the church in central Poprad), the mean espresso mini-chain Caffe Trieste has opened its doors. I mean "mean" in terms of the cafe's ability to produce a mean espresso, of course; not that its staff are mean (they're not!). There's also a wine bar here (upstairs up the spiral staircase) – making this the city centre's most atmospheric drinking spot by a country mile.
8: Pizzeria Utopia
In an old schoolhouse out in the paneláky, Poprad's coolest and liveliest pizzeria has been going ten years and is still every bit as popular as ever. Inside, it looks cosy too, with three dining areas and a great array of tasty pizzas. I've actually never seen a pizzeria even in Bratislava look as inviting as this one. It's just south of the hospital on the other side of Rte 18 from the centre – and perfectly walkable from there.
9: Bon Bon
Oh, what is that beautiful correlation between mountain town resorts and chocolatiers? I don't know, but I'm very happy with it. This is one of the best chocolatiers in eastern Slovakia, and it's right by the train station. I'd argue it's even worth missing your train for. Small (and quite inviting) area for actually sitting and sipping – but you can always take that hot chocolate "to go" (yeah, in Slovakia now they actually often use the English "to go" for takeaway food). Anyway, Bon Bon is on Dominika Tartarku – heading north from Štefánikova towards Poprad Tatry train station.
The final thing to remember is that Poprad is a far nicer mountain supply town than Zakopane on the Polish side of the Tatras and is certainly no worse than, say, Aviemore in Scotland or in fact many of those terrible big French ski resort towns. It's not as beautiful as what lies just beyond, true. But it does have plenty of hidden charms…
MAP LINK: (Kvetnica is indicated by the pinpoint at the bottom of the map)
GETTING THERE: Trains run every 1.5 to 2 hours from Bratislava's Hlavná Stanica station to Poprad, take 3.5 to four hours and cost 11 Euros for regional trains or 19 Euros for the flashy IC trains.
NEXT ON THE JOURNEY: From Poprad, the obvious choice is heading 32km north to Ždiar to hike some of the lovely Tatranská Magistrála, or – for those that don't like hiking – it's 72km south to Rožňava, nearby which are some of Slovakia's best caves

I know. It's only April, so what the hell am I doing watching a movie about Santa Claus?
Well… the short answer is I've wanted to see this Finnish film since I first heard about it.
And now I have.
I was simply delighted with this film. If you take equal parts Goonies, The Thing, Monster Squad and A Christmas Story and gave the kid an actual shotgun, not a pellet gun, you might get somewhere close to the fun that this movie entails.
You see, Santa Claus as we know him is a creation of the Coca-Cola company, sad but true, look it up. The idea of Santa, however, is an old one. And the jolly old fellow, in some versions of his history were not always nice, and naughty children were often punished brutally.
Which brings us to our young hero, Pietari (Onni Tommila). He and his friend are spying on an a dig atop a mountain, where they overhear that the excavators are looking for something, and are going to blast into the depths of the mountain to find it.
Soon, the herd of reindeer that were to supply Pietari and his hard-working, lonely, and trying to do right father Rauno (Jorma Tommila) turn up dead, there are bare footprints appearing across the roof of their home, and outside Pietari's window, there are creepy, old, bearded, naked men stalking through the snow, and children are vanishing.
Our young hero, who spends most of his time, armored up in his hockey gear, towing a stuffed toy on a leash behind him, and a shotgun strapped across his back, kicks into research mode, learning that the mountain was man-made, burying a malignant creature.
The beauty of the film, in addition to its locations, which looks cold, but lovely, is that everything is played straight, which makes it so much fun!
The creepy old guys are exactly that, and there are hundred of them, as we learn (also explaining how Santa can be everywhere in one night), but much like Santa, you don't want to be naughty. They're violent and liable to attack you at any moment, unless you're well-behaved.
I can see why this film has already achieved cult status in some circles. It's certainly found its way into my pantheon of favorite Christmas movies which includes films like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
If you're looking for something a little different, and a lot of fun, you should track this one down. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Travers sensation Arrogate joins Top Ten
Saratoga Springs, N.Y. (Monday, August 29, 2016) – California Chrome the leading Thoroughbred in North America with earnings over $13 million continues to remain in first-place in this week's NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll. The all-time leading money earner in the U.S., California Chrome has led the poll for all 26 weeks of 2016 voting, clinching this week's tally with 45 first-place votes and 459 points overall.
The NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll is the sport's most comprehensive survey of experts ranking active North American-based Thoroughbreds. Every week journalists and broadcasters cast votes for their top 10 horses, with points awarded on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. The NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll concludes Monday, November 7, following the Breeders' Cup World Championships, which will be held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
Whitney Stake's winner Frosted (1 first-place vote; 364 points) remains in second for Godolphin Racing and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. It is anticipated that the son of Tapit's next start will be the GI Woodward Stakes this Saturday at Saratoga. In third is Tepin with (339).
For the second year in a row, the GI Longines Sword Dancer "Win and You're In Breeders' Cup Turf Divisional" winner Flintshire (309) moves into fourth place for Juddmonte Farms and trainer Chad Brown after his sensational 1 ¾ length victory this past Saturday at Saratoga. The son of Dansili is being targeted for the G1, $600,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational on October 1 at Belmont Park.
The undefeated 3-year-old filly Songbird, (305) with a perfect total career of ten starts with ten wins moves into fifth place. The Eclipse Award champion could possibly make her next start in the G1 Cotillion Stakes at Parx Racing, September 24.
Joining the poll for the first time ever and in the top-ten is Travers Stakes winner Arrogate (189) who jumps into the ranks in sixth place. The Bob Baffert trainee made the history books Saturday, winning the Grade 1 event in a record time of 1:59.36 seconds at Saratoga Race Course, smashing General Assembly's 1 1/4-mile stakes and track mark of 2:00 flat set in 1979.
Ranked seventh is the three-time Eclipse Award champion Beholder (181). The Pacific Classic winner of 2015, Beholder came in second to California Chrome in this year's running.
The remaining top 10 is rounded out by: Melatonin (67); Cavorting (53) and Nyquist (45).

Who said being nerdy wasn't cool? Try telling that to San Francisco "nerdcore" rapper MC Lars. A co-originator of Nerdcore--also known as "post-punk laptop rap"--along with MC Chris and MC Frontalot, Lars caught wreck in 2007 for his Weird Al-like take on the Bay Area's then-dominant urban sound with the single "White Kids Ain't Hyphy."
In case you missed it, here's some sample lyrics:
Got kicked out of Slim's like a week ago
For crumping in the front row at the Anticon show
And everyone I know says I'm taking my chances
Cruising through Oakland bumping Sage Francis
San Jose rappers say they don't want to hear
Angry emo raps by Eyedea and Atmosphere
The hippies out in Berkeley tell me I should stop
Ghost riding my Volvo wearing Birkenstocks
Two years later, MC Lars is back with a new album, This Gigantic Robot Kills, which drops Feb. 24 on Crappy Records (not to be confused with I Just Crapped My Pants Records). The record promises to be even nerdier than you thought nerdcore could ever be--Weird Al himself graces "True Player For Real"--and features special guests Mike Kennedy of Vision of Disorder, Pierre Bouviere of Simple Plan, MC Bat Commander of The Aquabats, Suburban Legends, Gabriel Saporta of Cobra Starship, Brett Anderson of The Donnas, MC Frontalot, Jesse Dangerously, Linus Dotson of Size 14, and others. But the real news is that MC Lars does have some pimpin' skills, apparently--according to his publicist, he's dating a Suicide Girl. Maybe that old adage is true, after all: hot chicks make passes at dudes with Coke-bottle-thick glasses.

"KettleBell RX…"
Well, today's post is going to be a first for Old Country. Today I have the very distinct honor of writing a book review. I've spoken about the power of words here before.
"Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth." – V for Vendetta
Words are a huge part of my life. My passion for both the written and spoken word lines up surprising well with my career choice in the functional fitness industry. So, as you can imagine, I jumped at the chance to write a review for a book pertaining to my field.
But what was more important was the person who asked me to write it. I believe it was almost four and a half years ago when I first met Jeff Martone. Jeff is a legend in the kettlebell industry and is the creator and coach of the Crossfit Kettlebell Instructor Course. This course was a very significant developmental moment in my growth as both a trainer and a coach. I left the two-day course with a whole new outlook on kettlebells and an instructor's manual that I still have to this day.
In the years since I left that course, I have spent time with a handful of other internationally recognized kettlebell organizations, but the understanding of those fundamentals that Jeff originally instilled in me has not changed. What I took from that first course, and what I've taken from the ones of his that I've attended since, is what I re-instill in others. When athletes and trainers have, in turn, sought me out to be trained with kettlebells, this is where I start. The first thing I'd do when anyone seriously asked me what kettlebell certification they should attend was hand them my copy of Jeff's instructor's manual.
I have traveled overseas to study kettlebells at their source in Russia, taught at national-level kettlebell certifications, trained champion athletes with kettlebells and turned out Candidates for and Masters of Sport in the actual Sport of Kettlebell lifting. But with all of that, I still consider myself a student of Jeff Martone.
So you can imagine how surprised and flattered I was when I received an email from Jeff asking me to read a copy of his book and give my thoughts.
Mostly surprised really: "Jeff when have you had time to write a book?" This is the guy who is so busy that he taught a kettlebell certification one morning, then got in his car and drove directly over to the IKFF Kettlebell Sport National Championships — in time to set a new North American record in the Long Cycle.
So that bit of history aside, here is my honest review of Kettlebell RX, by Jeff Martone.
Anyone can watch movement patterns performed with a kettlebell. Anyone can swing one, and most can do something that resembles a clean or even a snatch. But the simple act of mimicking a movement will not always deliver the desired response or benefit to the body. For the athlete looking to take their training to the next level, or for the Coach or trainer who is truly looking to deliver the full advantage of kettlebells to their clientele, this book is a must. Jeff Martone takes an in-depth look at kettlebelling training, technique, and instruction, but at the same time simplifies his complex knowledge so that the reader can absorb it. You won't find fluff or useless information filling these pages. Jeff's attention to detail and true understanding of efficiency of movement comes out in every page.
This book should find its way onto the shelf of anyone in the functional fitness industry, and its pages should be well-worn from hours spent reviewing its contents.
A copy of Coach Jeff Martone's Book can be purchased by clicking on the following link: Tactical Athlete

I'm very interested.
Very well done, Zachary. I'm sure Coach Martone is very pleased with your review for his new book.

WASHINGTON — Pharmaceutical executives laid out plans Friday to prevent the misuse of prescription painkillers, under pressure from regulators trying to stop hundreds of fatal overdoses each year.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Johnson & Johnson, King Pharmaceuticals and other drugmakers want to use patient medication guides, letters to doctors and additional physician training to curb inappropriate use and prescribing of painkillers.
The Food and Drug Administration sent letters to 16 companies in February ordering them to design so-called risk management plans for their drugs. The drugmakers are presenting their joint proposal to the agency after several months of discussion.
The companies at Friday's meeting produce 24 opioid drugs — including morphine, oxycodone and methadone — which are often abused for their euphoric effect.
The FDA has required risk management plans for individual drugs before, but never for an entire class of drugs.
Industry consultant Sidney Schnoll said the requirement is "unprecedented in the history of pharmaceutical medicine and in the history of the FDA." Risk management plans can include: safety labeling, educational campaigns and even certification requirements for physicians.
Schnoll and others warned that mandatory certification standards could cause some physicians to stop prescribing the medications altogether, limiting access to patients.
"The bottom line here is that the 'risk management plans' should not impede important medication from reaching appropriate patients," said Schnoll, a paid consultant for the companies with Pinney Associates.
In place of mandatory certification, the drug industry said the federal Drug Enforcement Agency could offer voluntary training to prescribers. However, executives acknowledged that congressional action would be needed to allow the DEA to provide such training. Currently, the agency's mission is to enforce laws governing highly addictive medications.
The products targeted by the FDA, which come in both pill and patch forms, generally feature extended-release formulas designed to give long-lasting effects. But that potency carries serious risks when patients abuse them as stimulants.
The FDA has issued a number of warnings on prescription pain relievers in recent years but with little success. A federal survey conducted in 2007 found 5.2 million people in the U.S. reported using prescription pain drugs inappropriately.
Companies attending the meeting include makers of generic pills as well as brand-name products, like Johnson & Johnson's Duragesic patch, King Pharmaceuticals' extended-releases Avinza and Embeda pills, and Purdue Pharma's extended-release OxyContin.
There are other problems with opioids besides deliberate abuse.
The FDA has documented many cases of physicians prescribing the potent painkillers for patients with migraine headaches, an unapproved use. The FDA said patients also sometimes chew extended-release pills that are designed to be swallowed, causing an overdose of the drug.

Thank you Apartment Therapy for bringing this magical place to our attention. It is the Nisanyan Hotel, not far from the ancient ruins at Ephesus, in Turkey.
Nisanyan House is considered one of Turkey's finest hotels, yet it is a simple and friendly sort of place. It offers you beauty and peace, even a certain degree of elegance. The grounds are extensive, but they make you feel you own the place by yourself. No two units are quite alike. Each reflects the inspiration of the moment and the whimsy of experimentation.
It probably serves the best food within 100 miles, though you'd think it is mom and pop cooking. It has the most intricately detailed decor of any hotel in the country, yet it all feels perfectly spontaneous and casual.
Visitors often find themselves at a loss for words when describing the experience. They say things like "this is a place of spiritual awakening," or "please, please, can we stay here forever!"
This place is on my bucket list.

Our Story
The building we are located in used to smuggle in whiskey between 1926 and 1932, when they were busted by the prohibition agency of the federal government. The whiskey they brought in came from New Jersey on the train tracks just outside the warehouse. The O'neill brothers would then store the barrels inside and wait for the call from Capone. They would then load up their delivery trucks, drive to Joliet where they would meet one of Capone's guys, along with a police officer. They would deliver the "product" to Capone, get paid, and repeat the process over and over. The brothers did this for over six years before they got caught.

Provide full-cycle software and hardware solution for coworking center, including integration with payment processing platform and hardware access system.
Our mission was to provide a complete solution that would cover everyday needs of coworking center. Our platform had to include:
RFID terminal for Work.Life members to check-in on entering and leaving the space.
Work.life admin site to work with billing of members
To meet these requirements, we had to use pretty wide mix of technologies and approaches and overcome hardware issues. The team did lots of investigations in order to figure out how to handle undocumented behavior of the 3rd-party platforms and implement very flexible architecture that can stand on future challenges!

Free Groceries
for Seniors
Household Bill and Minor Home Repairs Assistance
Can you imagine living on less than $900 a month? New Mexico is the second highest ranked state in the nation for senior hunger. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, one out of every seven Bernalillo County seniors live below the poverty level. Too many of New Mexico's seniors are living in poverty, and the numbers of seniors in need continues to rise as Baby Boomers age.
Since 1979, Silver Horizons has been a reliable community resource for low-income seniors, their families and caregivers, who are looking for help with household bill assistance to help pay mounting bills, help with minor home repairs, and a source of free groceries for seniors, along with personal hygiene items, to help keep our loved ones healthy and fed.
As a caring advocate for our community's aging adults, Silver Horizons provides services to seniors from Santa Fe to Belen. In addition to providing much needed services and resources to low-income and at-risk seniors in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe and Valencia counties, Silver Horizons has built trusted relationships with numerous support agencies and businesses in New Mexico, and can help navigate seniors to resources to meet ever-growing and ever-changing needs.

A Gospel According to Yoda
Daniel Jones describes the new UK Church of the Jedi
Daniel Jones noticed, as did many other people, that more than 390,000 people across England and Wales had claimed "Jedi" as their religion on the U.K.'s 2001 census. An Internet campaign may have driven up those numbers, but the results held a deeper meaning for Daniel and his brother Barney. That census report became their impetus to start the U.K. Church of the Jedi.
Daniel took on the name Master Morda Hehol and opened the main chapter in Anglesey, Wales, where he lives. Another is open in Surrey, England, and they've had calls from would-be Jedis in Washington and Colorado, people hoping to open chapters stateside. It's no joke to Daniel, who was atheist before adopting Jediism.
"We don't have a deity, we have the Force," says Daniel. "It's more like self-belief. If you believe in yourself, and you manipulate the Force, you can achieve great things."
Services have been held in his backyard garden, with plans to move to a building soon.
"The first part of the sermons we do 'Theory of the Force.'" The group then moves on to classes. "It may be lightsaber training, one month. The next month it may be technology and mind control."
Yes, that includes Jedi Mind Tricks.
On our blog, a listener challenge: Write a gospel or 10 Commandments for Yoda.

A ruiny weekend
April 5, 2011 1 Comment
With a 3 day weekend round the corner, I was planning to cover a couple of places around hassan which I couldn't cover during my solo roadtrip last year. I proposed the places and a rough plan to srikanth who agreed to join.
Day 1:
We set out towards hassan on sat morning. A brief stop at kunigal and we were heading towards nuggehalli to see the lakshmi narasimha temple
How to reach Nuggehalli: Take the Hassan Highway and reach hiresave. A couple of meters from the hiresave junction, take left at the garage and proceed on the same road. Follow the milestones to reach nuggehalli
What to see in Nuggehalli: Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
The lakshmi Narasimha temple is a hoysala temple built by Bommanna Dandanayaka who was a commander in court of King Vira Someshwara. Like all other hoysala temple it is built on a star shaped pedestal
Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
The temple walls are beautifully sculpted with stories from bhagavatha.
Temple Architecture
One interesting fact about this temple is it predates the keshava temple in somanthpur by 20 years. We spent some time taking snaps before leaving the place.
We reached hassan for lunch and we were discussing where to go next. Since there was enough time left and as we were planning to reach shettihalli by sundown we decided to go to mosale which is a short distance from hassan
How to reach Mosale: At about 10km (6 miles) from Hassan towards Mysore you can spot a large board of the state tourism department on your right. Immediately after this billboard a small village road appears on the right. About a kilometer into this road , you reach a Y junction. Take the left fork. The road finally reaches Mosale village after about 5 -10 minutes of zigzagging through a couple of villages.
What to see in Mosale: Nageshwara and Channakeshava temples
The Nageshwara and Channakeshava temples are one of the finest examples of hoysala architecture
Nagaeshwara and Chennakeshava Temples
We reached mosale around 3 in the afternoon. We thought the gate would be locked, which luckily wasnt. We were busy exploring the temple, and taking snaps, when the priest who was a small boy came and asked us if he could perform pooja for which we agreed. He told us that this temple was built around 14th century.
A few photos of the twin temples
Having spent time at the temple, taking snaps and admiring the architecture, we then proceeded to shettihalli which contains the remains of a church also called the rosary church which was built by the french missionaries in late 1860
The government then built the gorur dam across the hemavathi river in 1960, to use the water for more constructive purposes. In order to build the dam, the villagers around the river were relocated to nearby villages, thus leaving the church.
The church has since stood there, though diplated, it has stood the test of time and nature's fury
Rosary Church
The reservior fills up every year during monsoon which submerges the church, and during summer when the water receeds, the church can be seen in all its glory. The location of the river just on the banks of the river makes the place even more serene
The church in all its glory
The church is medieval in architecture just like the other churches in europe. The alter is the only thing in the church which still remains intact
The alter
One can spend time at the lake enjoying the views n the church. With sundown approaching we left the place promising to come back again.
How to reach shettihalli: Head towards gorur road and u'll reach a junction. Take right and proceed straight till u spot a signboard pointing the direction to hoysala resort on the right and hoysala school (in Kananda). Take left at the kannada signboard and travel in the same road till we get another board showing directions and distance to nearby places. Take left again and keep on the same road till u see the church on the left side
Take the gorur road and procced to kattaya. One needs to ask for directions at kattaya to reach shettihalli. The road condition is not good as there are lot of big potholes if one takes the road from kattaya
After completing the visit to the church, we then proceeded to belur and halted for the day. Evening was spent watching the thrilling world cup final
Day 2:
We began the day with a ride to chikmagaluru. We had thought of covering ayyanekere lake and then proceed to bhadra dam before heading back to bangalore
It was a delayed start as we set out only by 7.30. We reached chikmagalur by 8.45 and stopped for breakfast. Having asked for directions to ayyankere lake and bhadra dam, we were told to go to bhadra dam as the route from ayyankere to tarikere is not in proper condition.
Ayyankere was scheduled for another visit and we decided to go to bhadra dam
We were cruising along the NH stopping briefly to snap a few pics of mullayanagiri and other mountains in the vincinity
Mountains on the way to bhadra dam
How to reach Bhadra Dam: Chikmagalur->Tarikere->BH road. Be on the same road, till u find a arch and directions to bhadra dam/bhadra wildlife sanctuary and JLR River tern lodge. The dam is 20kms from the arch
We reached the dam and parked the car and went towards the dam. As usual the dam was off limits and photography was strictly prohibited. However one can visit the backwaters and enjoy the calm and serene atmosphere
Bhadra Dam Backwaters
We spent some time roaming around and incidentally we met the caretaker with whom we had a chat. He happened to show us the place where Sri Sri Ravishankar got enlightenment. He went to later form the Art of Living.
Place where Sri Sri Ravishankar got enlightened
After spending some time we headed back to the car and to bangalore thus concluding an eventful trip
Snaps can be found here

"Manila Earthquake: Pre-Crisis Information Mapping Survey and Consultation."
The general objective of the pre-crisis information mapping survey and consultation is to better understand and validate information on the vulnerabilities, capacities, and preferences on the type of relief and humanitarian assistance that the community may need once a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hits Manila. Complementing the earthquake preparedness initiatives by the identified local government, at-risk communities, and other non-government organizations in Metro Manila, the mapping and consultation exercise analyzed the actual needs of the most vulnerable, marginalized, less visible, and less vocal members of the at-risk communities.

This new global report on early childhood development, shows that the period from conception to the start of school opens a critical and singular window of opportunity to shape the development of a child's brain. Unfortunately, many millions of children around the world are deprived of the ingredients that foster optimal brain development. But it is time to do more. It is time to pick up the pace of progress and transform our knowledge about early childhood development into investments and interventions that support families, communities and nations.

"Trade and Development Report 2017."
The Trade and Development Report 2017 argues that now is the ideal time to crowd in private investment with the help of a concerted fiscal push – a global new deal – to get the growth engines revving again, and at the same time help rebalance economies and societies that, after three decades of hyperglobalization, are seriously out of kilter. However, in today's world of mobile finance and liberalized economic policies, no country can do this on its own without risking capital flight, a currency collapse and the threat of a deflationary spiral. What is needed, therefore, is a globally coordinated strategy of expansion led by increased public expenditures, with all countries being offered the opportunity of benefiting from a simultaneous boost to their domestic and external markets.

"How to Make 'Cash Plus' Work: Linking Cash Transfers to Services and Sectors."
The broad-ranging benefits of cash transfers are now widely recognized. However, the evidence base highlights that they often fall short in achieving longer-term and second-order impacts related to nutrition, learning outcomes and morbidity. This paper aims to identify key factors for successful implementation of these increasingly popular'cash plus' programmes, based on (i) a review of the emerging evidence base of 'cash plus' interventions and (ii) an examination of three case studies, namely, Chile Solidario in Chile, IN-SCT in Ethiopia and LEAP in Ghana. The analysis was guided by a conceptual framework proposing a menu of 'cash plus' components. The assessment of three case studies indicated that effective implementation of 'cash plus' components has indeed contributed to greater impacts of the respective programmes.

"Journey to Extremism in Africa."
The expanding reach and destructive consequences of violent extremism are among the major challenges to peace faced in today's world. In Africa, 33,300 fatalities are estimated to have been caused by extremism between 2011 and 2016. This study has been a complex two-year intervention explicitly designed to respond to knowledge and evidence gaps – building on our earlier work exploring perceptions on radicalization, violence and insecurity in the Sahel. Specifically, it aims to generate improved understanding about the incentives and drivers of violent extremism, as expressed by recruits to the continent's deadliest groups themselves. It presents important findings about violent extremism in Africa with direct implications for policy and programming.

"Harmonizing the Legal Environment for Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. A review of 23 countries in East and Southern Africa."
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is an intrinsic part of an adolescent's development and a fundamental right for all. The study reviews the laws, policies and related frameworks in 23 countries in East and Southern Africa (ESA) that create either impediments to, or an enabling environment for, adolescent SRHR. The assessment resulted in the development of a harmonized regional legal framework, which translates international and regional legal provisions into useful strategies. It gives recommendations based on applicable core legal values and principles gleaned from a range of conventions, charters, political commitments, guidelines and declarations. This document provides a summary of findings from the comprehensive study and key recommendations for further legal reform to improve the SRH of adolescents and young people across the region.

Sunday 18th August saw another successful ITDev summer party. Employees were joined by friends and family for a day of fun, games and large quantities of homemade chilli. This year's party was held in Winchester at the home of ITDev's Engineering Director, Andy Culmer.
The weather was mixed, but we put our engineering skills to good use and constructed a surprisingly effective rain shelter from a very large groundsheet and some rope. The rain also didn't put a stop to the games, with both children and adults taking part in a treasure hunt quiz and games, including the highly popular "Corbelling Challenge", or the "Build the Biggest Overhang with Giant Jenga Blocks Challenge" as it was known before our vocabulary was expanded by Paul Nickson, our business coach, who also joined us for the afternoon!

A Queens, N.Y., CPA is suing Craigslist after two ads accused him of wrongdoing.
Accountant Leo Kehoe says it will take $4 million to even the balance sheet after he was anonymously smeared on Craigslist March 5, the New York Post reported. He is seeking $1 million in damages for each of the two counts against Craigslist and each of the two counts against whoever posted the ads, court documents say.
One ad on the site was headlined, "CPA FRAUD ALERT! (BEWARE OF CROOK)," and went on to say Kehoe "has been associated with TAX EVATION and falsifying records . . . Warn everyone you know."
The posts have since been removed; in their place are glowing reviews. According to the article, Kehoe has been licensed as a CPA in New York since 1991 and state records show has had no disciplinary action against him.

Set a Place for Your Globe-trotting Guests
More than 300 bird species found in North America during the summer make their way to Central and South America or the Caribbean, some covering distances of nearly 7,000 miles. Parks, backyards and nature refuges across the country will host these winged visitors as the birds make their way to their winter homes.
Migration is a fascinating part of bird behavior. Besides the amount of daylight, it appears that age, sex, weather and the availability of food, water and shelter are the major factors in migratory behavior.
While migration is still not completely understood, it appears that some birds orient themselves by the stars on clear nights while others seem to have a built-in magnetic compass. Some birds travel over large bodies of water, and birds commonly lose one-fourth to one-half of their body weight during such over-water migration.
In order to survive their grueling trip, birds accumulate fat prior to migration. This physiological change helps the birds maintain their energy reserves.
Not only can we enjoy migrating birds as they pass through our area, but we can also play a role in their survival by providing food, water, habitat and/or shelter to help them conserve and replenish their energy supply during their journey. Foods that are high in fat, such as suet, Bark Butter and a seed blend with lots of sunflower seeds, help birds refuel their energy supply.

In the days before the CNN/Rock the Vote Democratic Presidential Candidate Debate last week in Boston something gnawed at me: the whole event just seemed too contrived. Kerry, Lieberman, and Gephardt would be clearly out of their element, and with smarmy Anderson Cooper hyping the event it seemed that the news and entertainment divisions at TimeWarner were trying to out get the one up on MTV.
It turns out that it wasn't just a gut feeling; the "hipness" was scripted by a CNN producer.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A college student who asked the Democratic presidential candidates at a debate whether they preferred the PC or Mac format for their computers says the question was planted by CNN.
The news network on Tuesday acknowledged that a producer went "too far" in telling Brown University student Alexandra Trustman what to ask.
CNN televised the debate, co-sponsored by the nonprofit Rock the Vote organization, last week. It was billed as an event geared to the interests of young people.
In an editorial written for the Brown Daily Herald, Trustman said she was called the morning of the debate and given the topic of the question CNN producers wanted her to ask.
Trustman said she was "confused by the question's relevance," and constructed her own question "about how, if elected, the candidates would use technology in their administrations."
But when she arrived in Boston for the debate, Trustman wrote, "I was handed a note card with the Macs and PCs version of Clinton's boxers or briefs question" and told she couldn't ask her question "because it wasn't lighthearted enough and they wanted to modulate the event with various types of questions."
She referred to a 1992 student forum where Bill Clinton was asked what kind of underwear he preferred. Clearly they were hoping for a "boxer or briefs" moment. So much so that they manufactured it.
Infotainment strikes again!

We recently had new family pictures taken and I really love when this time comes around. When the kids were younger I had pictures taken every six months and now we are doing them once a year. It's easy to get lost in the day to day grind and the pictures give me a snapshot of our lives at that time. These days always seems to stick with me, even the hectic mornings as we get everyone ready for pictures. I love comparing the pictures from year to year and watching the kids grow. Plus it gets me in the picture with the kids!
We took these pictures at the beautiful Mellon Park in Pittsburgh. The kids were extremely uncooperative during the 45 minute photo shoot and I expected the pictures to be a total loss. 2 days after the photo shoot the photographer sent me a preview photo and I loved it. Since I wasn't expecting any good pictures I was thrilled with the preview and couldn't wait to receive the rest of the pictures. I was like a child on Christmas morning when the full set of pictures arrived. I looked through them a dozen times and showed the kids and forwarded them to our friends and family. Now I am printing them and hanging them around the house for me to enjoy looking at every day.

Houston, the nation's largest municipal buyer of renewable energy, plans to grow its green power use through an expanded agreement with a solar plant under construction near Alpine in West Texas.
City Council in late 2015 agreed to a 20-year, $80 million deal to buy 30 megawatts of power a year from the Solaire Holman plant, which originally was to come online last December.
City Council on Wednesday ramped up that purchase to accept all 50 megawatts the plant will produce, at $44.68 per megawatt-hour and at a maximum price of $125 million over 20 years.
That will be enough to cover 10.5 percent of the city's annual electricity needs, and is intended to replace an equivalent amount of coal-generated power.
Council members Mike Knox and Jack Christie voted against the agreement, with Knox questioning why the city would reward the company with an expanded contract when construction delays had caused it to miss the December deadline to begin delivering power.
He also noted the solar power was more costly than the city's current electricity rates.
"Today's contract sets a bad precedent for the city, what we do with a vendor who doesn't fulfill a contract - we reward the vendor with an even larger contract," Knox said.
Mayor Sylvester Turner said his review had suggested much of the delay was out of the company's hands and said the firm was paying the city $300,000 as a "signing bonus" under the new, expanded contract in recognition that the original contract envisioned penalties for delay.
"This is a 20-year deal, a locked-in, guaranteed rate," Turner said. "Green energy is better on so many different levels, and I think it's important for the city to diversify its energy supply."
The solar power is targeted to start flowing into city meters this April.

|Our Menu
Apart from our company Christmas party , each department would go out for team lunch as well :)
This year I thought we'll go somewhere different, somewhere casual with good food (and cakes) and most importantly not too far from the office.
Because there were 12 of us coming in , they suggested a reduced menu for us, to make it easier for the kitchen and to avoid long waiting time for the foods to be served.
Bill, the manager, rang me a day before to discuss the menu and we made the executive decision on what will be on LOL
|Christmas in Patisse
|Chairs & Tables
|Bubblies ^_^
It's the festive time of the year so of course a few bottles of bubblies were in order. There is a BYO corkage charge at Patisse which is very reasonable I think for $5.00 / bottle.
All the ladies at the table had the sweeter Riccadonna Asti while the gents had stronger stuffs.
Don't worry, that glass is not mine, borrowed from my friend who was sitting next to me :P
I had a few sips and they were delicious ! Not overly sweet and not too strong either (7.0% alc.), but that doesn't mean I didn't get tipsy by the end *hic*.
When the foods came out, it was a cue for me to go round the table and take shots of everyone's order :P
|Smoked Salmon & Caper Linguini $17.00
|Ocean Trout Nicoise $16.00
|Warm Kipfler Potato & Chorizo w/ Poached Egg $14.50
Knowing that I was going for some sweets afterwards, I opted for something light and I'm very pleased with my choice.
Love the perfectly cooked kipfler potato, the skin was crisp with creamy buttery flesh, the chorizo added some spice to the dish. The poached egg was done perfectly, look at the oozing yolk...yummm....
The portion was decent as well, may not look much on the plate but I was pretty full by the end of it and very satisfied.
I'd order this again if it's still on the menu next visit :)
|Grilled Fish of The Day, Fries, Salad Greens $21.00
The fish of the day was Atlantic Salmon, served with french fries, lightly dressed salad and aioli on the side.
|Gourmet Beef Ragout Pie, Salad Greens $13.50
When discussing the menu, Bill mentioned that their beef ragout pie is a popular item at the cafe so of course we have to put them on.
The pies were served with a side of homemade tomato sauce, those that ordered the pies commented that the fillings were tasty and the crust was done perfectly. So thumbs up for the pies !
|Pie Filling Shots
Gourmet Chicken, Celery & Leek (L) & Gourmet Beef Ragout Pie (R)
|Steak & Frites $23.00
After everyone finishes their meals, it's time to hit the sugar display \^o^/
|Patisserie Display
(which one which one....)
|Christmas Goodies @ Patisse
How cute is the gingerbread house, comes with macaron shells trimmed roof and a French Snowman - complete with a beret, moustache and a baguette in hand - CUTE !
There were also bags of panforte for sale as well, they looked so chocolatey and nutty good ^_^
|Bread & Butter Pudding ; Macaron Tower ;
Macaron Tower Up Close ; Truffles X'Mas Tree
|Chocolate Honeycomb taster plate by the register
|Skim Capp for moi
|Mini Croquembouche ; Pistachio, Rose and Olive Oil Cake ;
Orange & Blueberry Polenta Cake ; Lemon Créme Tart
I had the last mini croquembouche on display (score !!), the filling was tad too eggy for me but the choux pastry was nice and so was the crunchy toffee.
The pistachio, rose and olive oil cake is one of my favourite sweets here at Patisse - it was a moist cake with delicate pistachio & rose flavour.
Syrup drenched orange & blueberry polenta cake was lovely as well, not too sweet and the burst of juicy blueberry was a bonus.
Didn't get to try the lemon créme tart but it does looked pretty good :)
|Gingerbread Houses
So that's it !! The last festive themed post which is also the last post of 2010 \^o^/
It may only been 8 months and 6 days since I start this blog and I'm pretty impressed that I'm still doing it.
I tend to start something and doesn't follow through to the end - maybe I should make this as my new year resolution - keep blogging and eat more ? LOL
I've met so many new people since then and made some good friend with them too ^_^
Thank you for reading my posts and leaving comments on them too, it's nice to know that there are people reading my babbling and motivate me to keep writing and eating hehehe :P
I hope I'll get to meet all of you guys over the coming years ^_*
Have a great New Year everyone \^o^/

|This picture captures the weather and
mood I associate with Thanksgiving
|With her nephew
on his Wedding Day
|Katherine Ives Gallagher, nee Thankful!
|Grammy Eva and Grandpa John
Grammy Eva was my mother's mother and she and her second husband would arrive early Thanksgiving Day armed with boxes and boxes of goodies from her local New Jersey bakeries and delicatessens. Crumb Buns, coffee cake, Danish, doughnuts to die for and my favorite, cruellers! Then she would set to work helping my mother and we all scampered off, faces powdered with sugar, to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, hoping against hope we would not be asked to help set the table or some such! One year Gram made the yummiest stuffing ever when she mixed in a small amount of mashed potato with the bread crumbs, sage and onion. With the turkey we'd also have brussel sprouts (yuck), creamed onions, sweet potatoes with those sickly toasted marshmallows, green peas, cranberry sauce, cranberry relish and four pies: apple, apple crumb, mince with a lattice top, and pumpkin with whipped cream.
In 1979 I took The Man who was to become my husband home for his first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving dinner that year was at my brother and sister-in-law's house. Their home was also the house where I lived from the age of 10. So many a Thanksgiving memory there!
Here is The Man and my Mom -- one of the greatest mutual admiration societies to have ever lived! Honestly, the first time my mother met him she shocked me by flirting with him -- and he flirted right back! And her mother, my grandmother quickly decided to do her part to get him in the family by insisting we drop by her house in New Jersey for dinner. "I'll make a pot roast -- her speciality -- and for dessert I think I'll make a Blighty Tart". "Ho,Ho,
Ho," said my father, "that's what she fed me the first time! She's got you in her sights for her grand-daughter!" Blighty Tart, properly called Blitzen Torte is a double layer cake. Each layer made of yellow cake and topped with toasted meringue sprinkled with either almonds or toasted coconut and between the layers is whipped cream. It was !probably my father's all time favorite dessert
Here dinner is finished and the men are back at work -- even The Man seems to be taking orders from me! That didn't last long, but it was nice while it lasted!!! Actually I have no idea what I was going on about, just that it definitely looks as though I am going on ... This would turn out to be the last Thanksgiving Day in America for me for many years -- and it was a very happy one indeed ...
|Three Cousins, left to right, my nephew, niece, and son.
One particular event makes this particular year especially memorable: My parents' lived north western Connecticut, which is the most wooded area of the state. As wild turkeys had become a protected species they were now in abundance and it was not unusual to spot them in the countryside. However, I was yet to see any ...
Early in the morning on the day after Thanksgiving Day, my mother knocked softly on my bedroom door and said, "Kathie, if you want to see the turkeys come downstairs now! Immediately I grabbed my camera and flew downstairs -- followed by the entire household! Still in our pyjamas all seven of us crept up to the kitchen window and had a look: There they were, seven wild hungry turkeys, bold as they could be!

With Halloween right around the corner, what could be better than a few gemstone superstitions! Let's get started!
Ruby – Rubies are said to change color according to the health of the wearer. They can give an indication of health problems that the wearer is not aware of.
Opal – A opal should never be set into an engagement ring. Why? Supposedly, the new bride will become a widow. Opal is the designated gem for the 13th wedding anniversary and October's birthstone. However, if you are not born in October, it will only bring you bad luck.
Amethyst – This stone has the power to keep a person sober when wearing it.
Carnelian – When worn in a silver ring, you are sure to have many friends and be protected from loss and danger.
Turquoise – It is thought to arouse sexual passion and at one time, create unity between husband and wife.
Topaz – This gem is considered to be the luckiest stone. It is thought to bring the owner courage, wisdom and an amount of control over wild animals.
Coral – At one time, it was thought to ward off evil and nightmares. Coral also is to be worn by older children around their necks to protect them from witchcraft.
Agate – Agate is said to cure poisonous stings and bites, fevers and help fertility. It was also believed to give the owner the power of invisibility.
Diamond – This gem signifies love and affection, which makes it a great choice for engagement and wedding rings. It is also said to make men brave and women confident.
Emerald – Emeralds are thought to bring unity and sexual arousal between married couples. During childbirth, women who wear an emerald are said to have much less pain.
Pearls – Pearls are thought to be a bad omen to brides who wear them on their wedding day. Thus, they start their new lives with bad luck and sorrow. Giving pearls to a baby is good luck and guarantees a long, happy life.
Sapphires– Sapphires have the ability of inducing trances according to Buddhist tradition. They also facilitate telling the truth.
Jade– It is believed to promote rain. Also, it protects you. For instance, if you are sick, it absorbs the illness away from you.
Believe it or not!

J.K. Rowling(.com) trips...

I'm still waiting for my brother to finish his copy of Half Blood Prince, he won't let me near it till he's done. In the meantime I'll give some thoughts on Rowling's "personal" web site.
Zeldman has a lovely post about the flash side of JK Rowling's web site. They just put out a new accessibility add-on to help visitors get around the site. It's really top notch and I'm a fan of the flash portion of the site.
The text-only version of the site is not quite so polished. In fact it's pretty gruesome. It has a small amount of semantics, but no style. It needs a bit more structure. A while ago I started building a proof of concept but never got past the starting HTML. I planned on building a PHP app to grab the content and give it some more structure.
Of course I'm not interested in getting lawyers sicced on me right now so I'll just leave it be. At least till I get some inspiration to tackle it again.

Well as you can see I'm working on the new layout for the blog and so far I'm really liking how its coming out. Hopefully the background does not loop or tile around because I made it like 2000×1500 resolution, so hopefully no one has a REALLY HUGE monitor and it loops cause then it would look really weird lol. Also I have a concept, well actually several concepts for the new banner but I'm not sure what I will do exactly. Hopefully I will have it up by Wednesday, I'm not going to pull what I did with the Dexter layout cause I took forever on releasing that one.
Well other than the updates to the blog, Simon Curtis released another song! Well not really a complete song because its classified as a "demo" at the moment but whats been released is really good. The song is called "Detox" and it was written by Simon but (drum roll) produced by the AWESOME Bloodshy & Avant! These guys are really awesome producers and whats extra cool about this song is because it screams Britney Spears. Well not really scream Britney but the song intertwines lyrics and song titles of Britney Spears songs which is really creative. Whats also interesting about this is Bloodshy & Avant are producers for hit songs from Britney especially one of her biggest hit Toxic.
LOL Now that I look back on the blog, Last time I layout changed I introduced Simon Curtis here and now that I'm changing layouts again here comes another Simon Curtis post, Spoooky!!! anyways check out the song and the lyrics to it :3
Simon Curtis -Detox
You're up against the people
Trying to take back your music
It's like a reclamation;
You against the heat
You gotta get in the zone, You gotta get in the zone
Not that long ago I loved nobody more
"To make you happy" baby I thought you were born
I had to watch you play around with those boys
Anticipating when you'd make some more noise
I felt so lucky to have you in my life
I look the other way as you walk on by
But everytime I see you now I deplore
Please Mona Lisa baby hit me one more time
You just get so crazy
I thought you were stronger
Oh baby baby
Can't wait that much longer
Don't believe it, I just don't believe it
Said you beat it, but I don't believe
So what
Think you need it?
I don't think you need it
Don't repeat it
A detox, you need it
Don't deny it, you just don't deny it
Try to hide it but you can't deny
So what
Don't defy it
You can't justify it
Rectify it, and detoxify it
You're up against the people
Trying to take back your music
It's like a reclamation;
You against the heat
You gotta get in the zone,You gotta get in the zone
And if you really wanna fight it
Saddle up and hit your rhythm
Reignite it
Try to hit it
In a minute
I'm a' take you on, I'm a' take you on
Now I can see that just a girl you are not
Don't let me be the last to know when you've thought
Bout' where you're gonna go before the goodbye
I try and try but I can't get satisfied
Sometimes I feel the answer you give is poor
I'm bout to tell you don't go knockin' on my door

Coach Killers, Week 3: Antonio Cromartie
Denarius Moore got past Antonio Cromartie for a third-quarter touchdown Sunday. (ZUMAPRESS.com)
Every week, we'll take a look at a player or team whose bad performance did the most to raise the stress level of their coach.
Antonio Cromartie's Sunday in Oakland started with a 25-yard pass interference penalty, which helped spark a Raiders' TD drive, and it ended with Cromartie being checked out at a hospital after suffering bruised ribs and lungs.
Suffice it to say, it was not quite the day Cromartie, or the Jets, had in mind.
After being named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his two-interception performance in a Week 2 win over the Jaguars, Cromartie made some headlines by saying in an interview that he's "more of a playmaker" than Nnamdi Asomugha.
But teams don't shy away from throwing at Cromartie like they do Asomugha -- and in fact, quarterbacks have looked Cromartie's direction a lot over the past two seasons, with Darrelle Revis patrolling the opposite side of the field. Oakland went right after Cromartie Sunday, with QB Jason Campbell looking downfield for Denarius Moore on the third play from scrimmage.
The resulting flag against Cromartie was the first of four infractions called against the Jets cornerback. He was late-whistled for a second pass interference penalty and was also flagged twice for defensive holding. All told, Cromartie finished with 46 yards in penalties, just nine yards less than the entire Oakland team had Sunday.
And despite that, Cromartie's worst moment in Oakland came on special teams.
After the Raiders broke a 17-all stalemate with a touchdown drive late in the third quarter, Cromartie muffed the ensuing kickoff. Sebastian Janikowski's kick came down near the goal line and, while trying to run up to catch it, Cromartie managed to swat it forward about 15 yards. When he finally picked it up, the Raiders' coverage team hit him immediately, popping the ball loose.
Oakland recovered the fumble on the Jets 13 and scored a TD two plays later to take a 31-17 lead. The Jets would never get closer than a touchdown after that.
This has kind of been the M.O. for Cromartie throughout his NFL career: He'll make some plays, sure, but the chances he takes also result in some negative outcomes as well. Dallas' Tony Romo smoked Cromartie twice for touchdowns in Week 1, before the veteran corner enjoyed a bounce-back effort against the Jaguars.
There's a good chance we haven't seen the last of the Cromartie rollercoaster this season, either. The Jets play at Baltimore and New England over the next two weeks, both teams with multiple weapons in the pass game. Revis figures to match up with Anquan Boldin in that Ravens game and against either Chad Ochocinco or Deion Branch in New England.
Cromartie, then, will have his hands full with guys like Lee Evans, Torrey Smith (Baltimore's rookie WR, who's coming off a three-TD outburst), Ochocinco or Branch, and possibly even Wes Welker.
