Dear Eric Boehlert... Thank You!

Thank you for all your hard work on Andrew Breitbart at Media Matters for America.  As a direct result of your diligent efforts at promoting this fine American, I went out this weekend and picked up a copy of Righteous Indignation at my local Bookstar.  The clerk seemed a little disurbed to be selling it, so I reassured him by telling him I was buying it at your recommendation.  Loudly. Everybody else in line seemed very interested.


Again, thank you for your hard work and I hope you can make another great contribution like this to the American conservative movement in the future.


Yours,


A Fan

Asin

With national brands like Mirinda, Fairever, Clinic All Clear, Spinz, Parachute and Tanishq in her bag, she is the undisputed Kollywood queen of ads at the moment. She is also a pioneer in terms of endorsements, taking up Big FM. She commands close to 1.25 crores for an annual contract which may include a maximum of a week's shooting, few functions etc. With Ghajini happening, national recognition is just round the corner and we may just see this figure shoot up.

Trisha

Her biggest brand is Fanta. Then there's Tata Indicom, Cadbury's Perk, the Fiama di wills range of cosmetics and Scooty Pep. Even if not through films, Trisha is now a pretty familiar face in many parts of India. Charges up to Rs 75 lakhs for an annual contract. When she was more into modeling she even had traditional brands like Horlicks to her credit.

Shriya

You get few better looking models and no wonder she has got plenty of endorsements starting from every model's dream – Lux and other popular brands like Fair and Lovely, Red Label Tea and Saravana Stores Jewellery. She gets around Rs 75 lakhs for an annual contract.

Tamanna

She's just in and is bagging quite a few big deals in the market. With the kind of looks that she's got, it's not surprising. BSA-e-scooters is the one leading name that she endorses. Before entering Kollywood she had Shakthi Masala and RmKV, now she also has Saravana stores. Not yet in the big league; gets paid Rs.20 lakhs a year.

Sneha

She has been around for quite a while now and must be Saravana Store's most prolific ambassador. You have come to associate her with the Saravana chain. Then, she is the regional face of Sunfeast Marie Light and Aashirvaad atta. Having been around for so long, it is to her credit that she is still in high demand. Falls in the Rs.20 lakhs bracket.

Priyamani

She started off as a print model and still enjoys quite a few endorsements. She has got the prestigious Chennai Silks and the regionally strong Aachi Masala. Is paid around Rs.10 lakhs for an annual contract.

The important verses about Krishna written in Bhagwat Gita.

http://www.freewebs.com/shaktiananda/The%20great%20central%20sun.jpg athama
I and you and others were present in earlier years also and shall be present in future years also. These bodies are parishable. Atman or Krishna can not be destroyed. Atman is not active, can not be cut, can not be vatted or dried. It is omnipresent and stationary. It can not be changed. All creations were without body before birth and without body after birth.

tatwa
Universe is part of Cosmos. Universe and cosmos can not be separated and so can not be destroyed. He , who knows meaning of Tatwa written in the Vedas or Books or Shashtra , knows Universe in reality. Brahma creates Devta, Human Being and Tiryak ( Birds, Animals, Reptiles , movable or non movable etc ). Since when it exists and till what period it may continue is not known. One should be free from desires ( Vasana ), attractions ( Mamta) and should try to find Param Ishwar or Param Atman. One should work hard. Area which can not receive light from Sun and Moon is where I live. ( This may be an indication that Atman is not part of skin. It may be heart or inside heart). Jeev Atman is part of my Atman. Jeev Atman attracts Tri Gun Maya. Mind and 5 Indriyan are attracted by Tri Gun Maya".Beautiful simlie is narrated here.

indriyan
As Air takes smell from one place to the other place, in the same way Jeev Atman takes mind and 5 indriyan to other body which it receives. ( Verse no 8 of Chapter 15 of bagavadgeeta). Knowledgeable persons know this theory of life. They know that Jeev Atman leaves one body and go to the other body fixed for Atman. Intelligent person tries and knows that Atman is situated in the heart of creation. Heat of Sun or Fire is part of my heat. My heat only enters in to earth and helps to grow vegetations or medicinal plants. With my heat in human body 4 types of different foods are digested. Body of human being is perishable and Jeev Atman is not perishable. Any person, who knows my theory of life, is intelligent person. Oh Arjun I have told you very secretive knowledge ."
keshava hindu gods lord krishna and radha satwik In chapter 16 of Gita-Krishna says " Now i shall explain you regarding Devic Wealth and Asuri Wealth. A person who is fearless, pure from inside, trying to know theory of life , Satwik donation, Control on desires, worshiping and performing good actions, not harming any one with words, body , or mind, truthful words, without anger or control on anger, feeling of no action done by me, Pardon, tolerance, no enmity all the said characteristics are of persons having Devic Wealth.

gita updesha wallpaper religious hindu gods lord krishna and radha desireOh Arjun Pride, Anger, Harsh words, are characteristics of persons of Asuri Wealth. Devi Wealth gives Moksha and Arjun you are having Devic wealth. Human being with Asuri nature person says that there is no God and world is created by combination of Men and women and human being should enjoy luxuries, fighting for wine, women and wealth and I have succeeded and I am the best . I shall do and I shall enjoy and attracted to wards desires and sex. These person get hell. Such type of persons get again and again Asuri Yoni. Sex, anger, greed takes a person to hell. So one should control desires and should achieve Param Gati."
wallpaper religious hindu gods lord krishna and radha kama artha There is connection between sex, anger and greed to instability of mind or brain. If one does not control sex, anger and greed then one may always get depressed. Sex , anger and greed are like fire. One can never be satisfied. There is no limit of wine drinking, women consuming, or wealth possessing. It all creates jealousy, hatred, anger and mind can never be stable. If mind is unstable or unsatisfied , it emits special type of electrons and all these electrons creates different amino acids and all this creates unhappiness. These are not the characteristics of scientist. Knowledge of Tatwa can not be gained by unstable mind. So to know theory of Tatwa or life one must work hard and should have control on desires and work hard and should be free from desires or craze to get more money or wealth. It does not mean that sex or wealth or wine is not good. One should work or act but should not be part of actions. All actions are part of destiny. So It is state of mind " doing actions but not involving in these actions" ( Involve means doing action without caring for results) bagavad gita

Playing it safe

 {source}

Sometimes I feel like I play it too safe. I may have the best intentions, but more often than not I find myself retreating to a place of comfort rather than a place of yes. Perhaps in my mind, the most perfect weekend would include exploring a new place, bringing a picnic lunch, and getting lost in our adventure. Instead though, it seems easier to sit on the couch and watch another episode of a favorite show, or cook the same meal we had last Sunday.

My best self ventures out, follows through with the dreams I have in my head, and always always tries new things. She says yes more than no, and isn't one to turn down an invitation. So why lately have I found myself getting stuck in a rut?  When I get like this, my spirit feels heavy and life doesn't appear to be as sweet as it really is. Luckily, spring is here, and with that gust of warmer air comes a renewed sense of self, inspiration to get outdoors, and more daylight to accomplish the most exciting of plans.

Now that I am the mama to a one day rambuntious boy, I need to start exercising my adventurous spirit. I want to be a good example to him, I want to be sure he grows up feeling wild and free, like I did.  And maybe with the right outlook, he'll manage to keep his adventurous spirit alive for all time. Mine's there, but just hidden under layers of comfort and routine. So -

Here's to taking impromptu day trips, with the windows down and the music up!
Here's to picnic lunches by the creek and long walks shaded by the springtime branches!
Here's to quick stops to check out roadside attractions!

Carnivals! Beaches! Farms and parks!
Parades, antique shops and fruit stands.

I'm looking forward to slowly but surely becoming more adventurous, and I hope you'll join me. I'm excited to reawaken some of my child-self, and live life a little more fully.

Jaguar XF facelift leaked


The Cat’s out of the bag! This image purporting to depict the facelifted Jaguar XF has been leaked onto the internet ahead of its planned debut at this month’s New York motor show.

Sporting a new front end similar to that of its larger XJ sibling, the updated XF bins the large wraparound headlamps of the current model in favour of the narrower units first seen on the C-XF concept. In so doing, the XF now appears closer to how we expected it to when it was launched in 2007.

Featuring in the new XF will be Jaguar’s new 188bhp 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, which we've driven here. The oil-burner offers a claimed combined economy of 52.3mpg, with CO2 emissions of 149g/km.

The facelifted XF is due to hit dealerships in September this year.

Wonderful Weekend (image heavy)

Oh, Sunday. Today is one of my most favorite days of the week and this one was definitely a good one. The entire weekend was actually pretty perfect, and I needed it, as I've been feeling a little off these past few days. My friend Adie always says that life has an ebb and a flow to it, and she's totally right- and a lot of the time my ebb and flow is a little too up and down for my taste, but I guess that's life. I've just felt a little down lately, a little sad, and a little "something" I can't quite put my finger on. I think this can be attributed to Henry's new wakeful period he's been going through, and rather than sleeping through the night like he has for months, he's been waking up a few times during the night. I'm thinking this is from teething, and I hope the poor little guy settles down soon, I feel terrible for him. And as for me, I'm tired, and that just kind of snowballs as each sleepless night goes by. Part of the problem was that I was going to bed at midnight or 1am, sleeping fitfully right along with Henry (waking to feed him), and then ultimately getting up around 6:30am. That is not conducive to a happy mama! So now, I'm forcing myself to go to bed at 10pm, and that way, at least I get a lot more sleep collectively. I already feel better so I think it's helping. I'm definitely going to continue the 10pm bedtime this week.

So other than my weird moods, things are really, really good. In my mind spring is short- summer is already on its way in and I can't wait. This weekend sure felt like summer up here in Prescott, and the weather was absolutely beautiful last night during our evening downtown. My parents were in town, so we did our normal dinner routine: Bill's pizza for salads and pizza, and a nice stroll around the square. The temperature was in the 70s and Henry was the happiest baby- he loves being outside. We also celebrated an early Easter, and my Mom made Henry the sweetest basket. Holidays are just so much fun with kiddos around!

This morning we woke up and went to brunch at the Dinner Bell, then came home and relaxed for awhile. Later in the day I went to the gym, and a combination of being outside and some hard cardio seemed to snap me out of the funk I've been in. I'm looking forward to having a really positive week and getting a lot accomplished. Some of the things I'm looking forward to: our new family room curtains arriving from Anthro, a hair appointment with Rhonda, and spending some time with some lovely ladies. So- here's to a great week!

Here are some photos from the past few days:

I mentioned before that Erin and her son Kyler came up Thursday. We had the best night hanging out, talking, and laughing. I've talked about Erin a lot on this blog, but we've been close friends since college where we met in our freshman dorm, and then ended up rushing the same sorority. We've had a lifetime of memories made together (11 years of friendship!), and when we got pregnant two months apart it was amazing to go through that experience together. She's the best!

cheers to 11 years of friendship!
