The channel has a new non-profit initiative to feed the hungry called Hunt.Fish.Feed., and the basic idea is that hunters bring their kill (and fishers bring their catch) to impoverished people in Los Angeles, including those in shelters. The thought of a burly hunter slamming a dead deer carcass onto a soup kitchen table make us snicker, but it’s hard to criticize a program whose goal is to feed the hungry. We do wonder if the organization could have used the money spent on bullets, transportation, permits, and butchering to get a lot of fruits and vegetables for L.A.’s hungry, though. As Care2 also points o...

A comment in reply did point out that some people actually feel empowered by them. This is a reminder that every one is different and every cancer is different. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. And what works for me doesn't work for others. Well, doh! Otherwise, I am doing okay.

A March 8 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates that people who’ve benefited from the charitable acts of others are more likely to emulate the kind acts, a la Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey in “Pay It Forward.” Researchers modeled these findings in the drawing below from Wired.com.

The truth is: I can count on one finger how many times I’ve been laid since I don’t know when, probably more than six months. That was until last week. The correlation of increased testosterone levels and the recent change in events probably have a lot to do with it. Ultimately I’d like one out of two things to happen. Either I get to know some guys who I can get together on a regular basis, as I hate cruising these internet sites, or I get into some sort of relationship. One guy I reconnected with online.

From all walks of working life, including professionals. Nadine Dorries has been roundly criticised for suggesting the MPs are now under so much pressure that there could be a suicide. They have brought it upon themselves, you may say, and so they have. But the atmosphere that has been whipped up over three weeks by the Daily Telegraph is resembling the Salem witch hunts. The public are baying for blood. Some MPs are more culpable than others. There may be an underlying political agenda.

Notice the random arrangement of shoes and the various sizes.  The smaller ones are those nearest the stair steps while the bigger ones are those on the periphery.  What actually happened was that, during a family gathering, the little kids went upstairs to the playroom, only to be fighting among themselves after a while.  So the adults have to go up and see what’s happening.  Hehe.

I’m a bit sad, though, that I’ve to give her away today to a close friend.  I can only keep a certain number of hamsters at home and Dad chose to keep the other one, Maws.  But then, I’m sure my friend will take good care of her.  And maybe I’ll be able to see her again when I get to visit my friend.

QUASH is a scavenger hunt where getting from Point A to Point B is only half the challenge. Traveling by foot or public transport, you have two and a half hours to get complete the route, solving clues and completeing challenges along the way. Some challenges need brawn, others brain and all will require teamwork. Sure sounds like fun not to mention a great way to support the cause and raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. Only catch is you have to be in Philadelphia (June 7th), San Diego (June 14th), or Indianapolis (June 21st), to participate.

But I had a great set of photos for the theme so I decided to go ahead and post them today. I took a short break this weekend to go to Yercaud for a day with my family and some friends. We went to a new resort for an open air dinner on Saturday. The resort is built on a hill slope with a spectacular view of Salem city.  They had a walkway partly paved in glass called the ’skywalk’ which was great and it fits this week’s theme perfectly.

Congratulations. It is a CT scanogram of a Mac Mini. Suresh and I did this within a few days of him acquiring a Mac Mini in March 2005. We were (and still are) amazed at the size of the thing. It’s only a bit bigger than my daughter’s lunch box! We wanted to know how they put all the things that go into a computer into something so small. But we were not crazy like these guys, who show how to take apart a new Mac Mini. Suresh has for many years been radiographing new circuit boards. So doing a CT for a compact computer was the next obvious evolutionary step. The CT techs thought we were crazy but cooperated with us. The Mac Mini in the CT gantry. A close-up of our tiffin box.

But in the context of a theme for Photo Hunt, the phrase has a voyeuristic connotation for me. If that sounds like too strong or inappropriate an interpretation, it could be taken to mean the detection of something unanticipated in a prosaic setting. Here is something that I spied in one of the gopurams (temple towers) on one of the outer rings of the concentric compound walls* of the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam. Babes in bikinis and couples being awfully libidinous amongst the usual decorative motifs and sundry gods and goddesses. * For those who crave details, it is the eastern gopuram on the second perimeter wall - the one after the white eastern gopuram.

This photo was taken while doing so at the Starbucks coffee shop located on the top level of TriNoma Mall.

An accidental shot. A highly blurred picture of a doorway. I did not trash it because it looked so symmetrical…like an abstract work of art. The bright orange LED signifying a monitor in hibernation. The smaller blinking white light of a hibernating Mac mini can be seen just beyond the right upper edge of the keyboard. There is something soothing about a dark room with sleeping computers.

This is one of the small lunch boxes that she takes to school. I think this one combines functionality with great looks. The lunch box has two levels separated by the white plate on the left and a two-level lid, a white opaque one with holders for the cute spoon & fork and a transparent curved one with cartoon figures. All held together by the blue elastic band. My daughter’s lunch for the day consisted of a bunch of mini idlis, some kothamalli (coriander) chutney and a few pieces of peeled saththukudi (mausambi / sweet lime).

I thought these were cool red leaf-like flowers with early morning dew. Thanks to JMB, I now know that they are a variety of Poinsettia, very like the ones that she was used to in her native Australia. She says she doesn’t see any of these big ones in Canada. I found another blogger connection for this flower too through Wikipedia. Enrico will be thrilled (?) to know that they are named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States ambassador to Mexico, who introduced the plant in the U.S. in 1825. Alternative names for the poinsettia are Mexican flame leaf, Christmas star & Winter rose.

And I think the above photo of a Ferris wheel is a classic. It’s a Ferris wheel at the Enchanted Kingdom (a local theme park) and is called “Wheel of Fate”. It’s bigger compared to the regular ferris wheels found in other local parks here in the Philippines (or so I think). I remember that the first time I rode in a ferris wheel was when I was about in grade school during school fairs. The school would rent some rides like the “caterpillar” (a sort of mini-rollercoaster for kids), the “octopus” (I don’t know how else to describe it, it looks like an octopus. Period), and etcetera. Of course, the Ferris wheel was always there. A bit of trivia about Ferris wheels: The Fe...

Note: A short explanation (from Wikipedia) is in order before I post the pictures. [Skip the explanation - in block quotes - if you already know what a Rangoli is] Rangoli is one of the most popular art forms in India. It is a form of sandpainting decoration that uses finely ground white powder and colours, and is used commonly outside homes in India. Rangoli can be wall art as well as floor art. The term rangoli is derived from words rang (colour) and aavalli (’coloured creepers’ or ‘row of colours’).

But the most beautiful tiny thing that I see routinely in my practice is this… The transvaginal scan image shows a 6-week-old embryo which measures about 6 mm (about 2 eighths of an inch). By the sixth week an embryo is usually more than 5 mm in length (which is described as CRL, standing for Crown-to-Rump Length) and shows definite cardiac pulsations, proving that it is a viable pregnancy. This 6 mm blob of greyness will grow over the ensuing weeks to emerge as someone’s darling child. Note: I’ll be out of town for the weekend.

I decided on this photo for this week’s theme ‘Fake’ two weeks ago when I saw the theme list. This was taken one night at home about 6 months ago. My daughter wanted to know how she would look if she had a moustache like mine. So her mother’s eyebrow pencil (hey, I didn’t know ipanema was a colour!!) was borrowed and my make-up talents were utilized to get fairly good results (in my opinion).

This may qualify…. This is a photo† of an interesting table lamp that is in my parents’ house in Coimbatore. This is what it looks like when it is lit in a dark room. I don’t have a photo of the piece in its unlit state. It’s made of some kind of translucent plastic with a porcelain-ish finish and it looks good unlit. The basket is pale green with darker green shading and the dogs look very natural with a light tan to dark brown colouring. † - Shot in 2004 with a Nikon CoolPix E4500.

For this week’s theme, I’ve picked four pictures… HAIR My daughter dressed up for a party. My niece getting her head shaved at 11 months of age. A tradition followed in most Hindu families. The head-shaving will be followed by a ritual ear-piercing ceremony in a temple. The kid - it happens to boys and girls - ends up with a clean shaven pate and brand new ear rings. My daughter fresh after her tryst with the barber’s knife, hiding among the dahlias. Following JMB’s lead, here is what time and testosterone have done to my head. Powered by ScribeFire.
