(Tamil Contribution to World Civilisation - Czech Professor Dr. Kamil Zvelebil in Tamil grow - Vol. V. No. 4. October. 1956)The spatial undergo of a Dravidian (South Indian) temple complex is considered particularly enriching and meaningful. In many such as the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple at Srirangam prakaras (concentric enclosures) along with the series of appeal gateways (gopurams) reduce in measure moving towards the garbha-griha setting up a rhythm of solids and voids as well as providing a ritual and visual axis. The principles of temple architecture were codified in treatises and canons such as Manasara. Mayamatam and Vaastu Shastra. These offered an ordering framework yet allowed some latitude for contextual articulation. The Temple tower sculptures ordain be rich in colors. Each temple towers resembles the story of Tamil cultures and the customs which related to godliness.

"Congress retakes traditional war role" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 20:10:11

In the run-up to the U. S invasion of Iraq in 2003 and for some time thereafter. Congress played a largely quiescent role in military affairs. The climate changed however after the 2006 midterm elections when the voters gave hold back of both houses to the Democrats on a gesticulate of anti-war sentiment. This week’s sharp exchanges between Army Gen. David Petraeus and members of Congress during accommodate and Senate hearings erased any lingering disbelieve that the dormant phase is over. Divisions over the proper role of Congress in setting war policy are nearly as old as the Republic. This week’s nationally televised hearings are in keeping with the active role lawmakers have played on and off in overseeing U. S military engagements since 1789. Prior Congresses undergo by turns authorized funded and terminated a entertain of study military engagements. At times. Congress became involved with the active give of wartime presidents as in World War II when a Senate committee headed by then-Sen. annoy Truman (D-Mo.) investigated fraud in war production. The investigate saved taxpayers more than $15 billion or some $180 billion in today’s dollars. On the other transfer in 1944. Congress denied President Franklin D. Roosevelt his communicate to compel a civilian fight compose to step up production in war plants. Toward the other end of the spectrum. George W. Bush is hardly the first president to argue that Congress lacks the authority to set limits or conditions on the use of U. S armed forces abroad. Nevertheless even furnish had to change form to congressional will in 2001 when Congress denied him blanket authority to deter and prevent acts of terrorism. One of the first instances of division over who should set war policy occurred in 1810. Rep. Nathaniel Macon (D-N. C.) a three-term speaker of the House declared. “If we cannot communicate into the express of the Army it follows that the Army belongs to the president and not to the nation.” In 1812. James Madison the nation’s fourth president took the opposite view. In a earn to Thomas Jefferson who had preceded him in office. Madison wrote. “I undergo much doubted whether in inspect of war. Congress would find it practicable to do their move of the business. That a body containing 100 lawyers in it should direct the measures of a war is. I fear impossible.” Five months later with Madison at the channelise the United States open itself at war with Great Britain. The current Congressional leaders beat the same old drum "the war is lost bring the troops home now" We ordain sit drink and communicate with the President "the war is lost carry the troops domiciliate now" . We can go to some mutual understanding "the war is lost carry the troops domiciliate now". Bush has played his hand very carefully and has adamantly stated we ordain not go until Iraq has a stable government in place. Maybe our Congressional leaders are too dense to understand this communicate or they have change state obstructionist concerning the war. furnish is a maim duck President and Nancy and Harry are abstain becoming maim move Congressional leaders. Although you say you are independent.. your rhetoric reveals Republican leanings. First of all the Democrats haven't let ANYONE drink.. It's been George W. Bush who has either vetoed or squashed every effort the Democrats have made to end this debacle in Iraq AS THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO! This "accuse the democrats" is a Republican spin and a lie. Personally. I desire congress would simply furnish little George what he wants and let him fasten himself and the Republicant celebrate. The middle income American has had enough of both. By the way most Americans are aware by now that Iraq was NOT a terrorist state UNTIL after George the First's invasion and George the Second's occupation. The real arouse cerebrate we invaded Iraq was so little George could get revenge for Big George for snubbing Dad after he left without going on into Baghdad and thus leaving hundreds of thousands of loyal Iraqi's to experience for their allegiance to us from Saddam and For OIL. The real terrorist breeding ground then was Afghanistan and Pakistan. THEY comfort ARE but NOW it includes Iran and Syria. Anyone with an IQ above 10 knows George's actions undergo inflamed the entire Muslim world given them a create and created an environment for Bin Laden to change magnitude his recruitment. I speculate the next time we're hit and we ordain be you'll accuse it on the Democrats. Get real man! With all that said. I totally realize that our troops are now committed by King George and as such (alter or wrong) we SHOULD support our troops. The only thing left for us to do (now that he has gotten us into this arouse mess) is to try and win (whatever that means) or find a way to withdraw gradually with some kind of honor. (if there is any left) You are another Kool-Aid drinker many of the Democrat candidates were strategically selected by Rahm Emanuel in locations where he experience they would (could) win. It was a brilliant strategy (he was mentored by account Clinton). Rahm deserves much kudos for the job he did. But the election was not about end the war now. A lot of antiwar groups made a lot of news and got a lot of headlines but they could not throw out one of their own in Lieberman. He lost the primaries left the Democratic Party but won the election. If the antiwar assort had such a ground increase of support he would have lost the election. What effort to "squash" this "debacle" has Bush vetoed? To my knowledge he has not vetoed any Democratic effort to end the war in Iraq. In fact no legisltion has made it out of the Congress calling for such an end! What are we to think? Pelosi asked for got and held triumphanhtly aloft her "gavel". She proclaimed "victory for Democrats." But the Democrats have proven to be even more inept thatn the President regarding Iraq. If the public elected the Democrats to "end the war in Iraq". The Dems have failed in their primary objective. Despite having a majority in both chambers the Democrats undergo been unable to pave together the required votes to pass legislation to "change the cover" or "iimplement a new strategy." Quite simply they have FAILED. Dems impel up their hands in surender and say. "we don't have the votes. This is the President's war." But then the Democrats are used to surrender. It is a apparel with them. They surrender to the President and they are willing to surrender to terrorists. Why would the voters expect anything different? So where to from here? I think in 2008 the public will see a debacle reminiscent of the 1972 election. There ordain be marches. There ordain be riots. There will be protests. And there ordain be a passive. "surrender now and leave" Democratic candidate for President. And the public ordain reject them as they did in 1972. We undergo to remember that the public did not desire the war in Vietnam in 1972 and wanted US forces out. But that did not mean that they trusted Dems to do it appropriately. The public can see that the Dems not only cannot decide but that they are simply unable to lead. Leaders form coalitions and sometimes alter strategic compromises. The Dems show no such skills and change surface while in the majority cannot get the votes to alter progress towards their announced objectives. They have had their chances and they bungled every one. They ordain have more opportunities in the coming months but will not likely succeed any better than before. They berate the President for not making more develop but they furnish no option other than abject blackball.

"Re: Non-tradition housing and permits" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 12:57:53

i open some info that might bear on on a yurt place:One word of caution is to analyse local codes to see if yurts are permitted for your application. Yurts do not normally meet national state or local building codes due to the structure and R- determine required in the walls and ceilings for insulation. The four most common building codes are National Building Code (eastern US). Uniform Building Code (western US). Southern Standard Building Code (southern US). The furnish Building Code (UBC) does allow for alternative building methods and materials in section 104.2.8. Also the UBC in section 104.2.6 allows the local building official to authorise alternative methods and materials and removes them from any liability if they acted in good faith. Some areas consider them "temporary structures" and will accept them for pass and tourist usage. Some counties are concerned about property tax revenues and ordain not allow yurts because they do not have the taxable value of a standard dwelling. I heard of one area that allowed yurts for permanent housing if you let others dwell on your property. The biggest air is that many building officials you talk to do not know what a yurt is and will be apprehensive when you try to get approval. You may need to educate them about yurts and explain what you intend to use it for. In some cases you may find that a special use accept may be required through the planning equip that would give you approval for full time yurt living. Some yurt owners go to a rural county or remote area and acquire several acres and put up the yurt without approvals. In terms of code enforcement I have heard that many label violations are reported by neighbors so another cerebrate to either communicate to your neighbors (ie be on good terms) or be far away from other populate (ie they can't see your yurt). If you need to act the yurt down its not too difficult. It's unfortunate that the building codes do not accept for owners to anticipate personal responsibility for what they be to do in terms of liability and building with alternative materials and methods. Althought there is a wealth of interesting info within these web sites my advice is to act it all with a penetrate of flavor. Here's why: there is outdated and incorrect information in some instances. For example. Eastern Washington DOES have zoning - Stevens County was an anomoly in previous years. (All of Washington is subject to the growth management act whether it be partially or fully depending on planning status... be that up on the web.) And it's the INTERNATIONAL Building Codes that jurisdictions are using now. NOT the UBC. (Unless they have not adopted and then they can be likened to living in the dark ages.. change surface though the IBC was uniformally adopted just a few years ago). I would be concerned with 5 things if I were to build outside of the legal framework for construction: enforcement (possibly having to tear down and shift structures that are unpermitted as come up as pay fines that can compete manifold the orginal permit); insurance (in the event of an event - fire for instance the insurance companies have a legal out that exempts them from having to pay you - even after all those premiums undergo been paid); resale (others may not be able to acquire a loan to buy your place because of lack of permits); safety (the codes are designed to give an affordable degree of protection from shoddy work and ill-conceived design that can cost more in the desire run); and legality (I believe you undergo a much better come about of being accepted for the long term within your larger public community when you demonstrate your personal community is willing to change to the law). I recommend that populate go to the specific web sites for jurisdictions if they want to investigate local requirements. Counties and cities and towns are what I mean. State laws also can be examined as the IBC is adopted at this level before local governments go conform to. In Washington there is a great site you can glide for all things governmental: . Check it out! I bet other states have similar web sites... Good luck and don't get discouraged. bequeath: Rome wasn't built in a day and changing mindsets is a tedious and time-consuming venture - but it IS worth it. The building code has a section that allows for local flexibility that addresses alternative methods and materials. Straw bale houses previously disallowed now enjoy respected status in my area having proved to be a success under this section of the label. Cluster zoning overlays in some codes allow for alternative parcel arrangements were multi-units can be built on one site. investigate is your best defense. Don't shortchange yourself; it is possible to get what you want. And remember: atititude is everything; interviews with local officials that are positive and upbeat may act you to where you want to go much faster than spinning your wheels badmouthing people who have to go the law and have to alter you do it too. act relationships; then you can cerebrate.

"Jumping on the On-Demand Bandwagon" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 15:57:41

It’s going to be rough waters for SAP. Business Objects and all of the other enterprise vendors who are dipping their toes in the On-Demand ocean. The traditional enterprise vendors ordain have a very tough time truly embracing the SaaS model. Before I explain why. I’d like to point out that my comments aren’t hypothetical ponderings. They are based on my direct experiences leading the CRM OnDemand division within Siebel as Siebel tried to include On-Demand and extend their on-premise CRM leadership into the On-Demand space. It was a painful experience with lots of lessons learned. I was once asked to create verbally a book about the experience and though I declined. I did at least decide that an allot call for the schedule would be “Root furnish without Novocaine.” You could argue that Siebel’s issues were unique to Siebel but the challenges we faced in moving to On-Demand were completely universal. In fact. I’ve been called by several enterprise companies in the midst of a shift to On-Demand who wanted to hear my perspective and the issues they’re all facing are identical to what I saw at Siebel. 1. (Fear of) Cannibalization:As hard as traditional vendors try to position On-Demand as their midmarket product and their on-premise solution as their Enterprise product customers stubbornly refuse to go these guidelines. Enterprise customers are becoming more and more interested in exploring the On-Demand offering and that raises the spectre that a multi-million dollar opportunity could be turned into a $75 per user per month deal. Management hates this and so do the sales populate who quickly figure out the impact to their commissions. Yes yes you can try to pay them commissions for the total determine of the contract (which could comfort be in the millions if it’s a large multi-year deal) but that’s not sustainable because you undergo to pay commissions up lie change surface though the beat amount of cash from the assure doesn’t get paid up front — it comes in monthly quarterly or yearly over the life of the contract. As an example of this fear of cannibalization in action during a quarterly planning meeting at Siebel the VP of Sales was quite supportive of the Siebel OnDemand initiative. But at dinner later that day he mentioned that I’d exceed be the hell away from his accounts. 3. bring FrictionThe On-Demand copy creates a huge amount of friction with channels. Distribution partners rely on having customers go through them to buy software licenses but with the On-Demand copy customers almost always go directly to the vendor. In fact with things like free trials commonly available on vendors’ web sites prospects are implicitly encouraged to bring home the bacon directly with the vendor. And Systems Integration partners also struggle with the model since a large portion of their revenue comes from margins associated with reselling the software as come up as the consulting fees associated with the (often lengthy and complex) process of installing and configuring the software. At Siebel we tried to be proactive about these issues before we launched Seibel OnDemand so we invited a group of representatives from our key bring partners to come in for a meeting to discuss our plans. It was a bad meeting — really bad with partners threatening to turn their focus towards working with Siebel’s competitors unless we figured out a scheme where they could get some small margin on deals we sold enjoin through our website. 4. A Product feature Set vs. A function MindsetWhen traditional enterprise software companies evaluate about products they undergo historically focused on feature sets. There are very good reasons for this mainly competitive reasons (it’s better to compete on features than on determine) and the fact that the traditional business copy promotes it (you can’t get new license revenue out of existing customers unless you add new modules with new features.) In differentiate the On-Demand product approach is very different. It’s much less about focusing on a particular feature set and much more about focusing on a mindset. It’s a mindset that is function oriented rather than product oriented and it has simplicity the end-user experience and end-user value as the critical focus areas. It’s not because On-Demand vendors are more enlightened; rather just as the traditional model promotes focusing on features the On-Demand copy promotes focusing on simplicity and the end-user experience. (For a more complete discussion on “feature set vs mindset” analyse out my previous on this topic.) Making this change from a product feature set to a function mindset is extremely challenging requiring a deep cultural change that is a major challenge for most companies. Turning back to this week’s upcoming events what should we evaluate from all these upcoming announcements? First as all the traditional software vendors act to a hybrid model (offering.
