Akilam two

Akilam Two is the second among the seventeen parts of Akilathirattu Ammanai, the holy scripture of Ayyavazhi. This parts includes the whole of the Thretha Yukam and a few events of the Dwapara Yukam, such as creation of bodies of the god-heads and subjects of the yukam.

Creating Thretha Yukam
After the destruction of the asuras of the previous Kretha Yukam, Nathan stayed in the sea-shore of Thiruchendur as Kantha. At that time, Sivan and Vethan meet Nathan for discussing the further events to be done. At that time Sivan remembered to Nathan that, "The ancient Kroni had been sliced and all but three more fragments are remaining to be given birth in the world." Hearing this all of them discussed about and decided to give birth to the next fragment and thereby create the next Yuga.

During the creation Nathan told Sivan that, at his previous manifestation during his death, he insulted me by saying, "Only with your ten nails which were made of ten mountains you were able to kill me and otherwise not." So in this yuga, he should be created as a mighty being with ten heads, twenty eyes, twenty ears and with appropriate body parts and Tatvas etc. As per the instructions Ravana was created. Then from the  'blood of Kroni'  which is taken from the pit where it was gathered during the destruction of Kroni, the Asura race was created. When these people are created, Nathan assembled some sweat from his golden body and created a person with the name Vibhishana and made him the brother of Ravana. And Afterwards ordered him that, "Besides all the activities of Ravana you should remain polite."

Ravana Claiming boons
Ravana for claiming boons, stood humbly in front of Sivan. Seeing this Sivan asked him to ask what ever needed. Ravana replied that Sivan should promise on Ganapathi that he will give what ever asked by Ravana. Then on the promise of Sivan, Ravana started claiming.

 * I should be mighty enough that the Devas, Rishis and the weapons of the three Logas must not defeat me.
 * The Sun, Moon and all celestial objects should revolve around my forts.
 * Yourself Sivan should give ten million boons
 * The God of Creation, - Brahma should give ten million boons
 * The Umaiyaal should give me ten million boons
 * Indra should give half a crore of boons.

Ravana claimed all these boons and Sivan prepared himself to offer the boons. At that time Lekhsmi arrived there and seated near Parvati. On seeing the beauty of Lekhsmi, Ravana in lust stood passionate. At that very moment, Sivan understood the stunned mind-situation of Ravana and offered the boons claimed by him immediately. So Ravana while possing the boons was not much deliberated.

On the way of Ravana, returning from Kayilai, Nathan deliberately snatched away thirty million boons from him and minimised the number to five million boons. So soon, Ravana got such a large quantity of boons, had to loose almost all.

Brutal reign of Ravana
Ravana ordered the Trimurthis and Devas around like slaves. He demanded Vayu to clean his bell-towers or he will be murdered. Ravana ordered the Sun and Moon to bow their heads when they approach his nation or otherwise be destroyed by his arrows. The  'Deva-Kannis'  (Virgin Angels) were instructed to stand beside him and fan him or they will be bound in a tree. All four Vedas and six Shastras were to carry milk-pot and stand respectfully before him or they would be murdered too. The Devas were to praise him with strewing flowers. He even stated for all the kings in the world to obey him and pay him tributes.

Invocation of Devas
While Ravana ruled cruelly, the time for karma arrived. The Devas and the human beings of the Bhoologa, being unable to withstand the cruelty of Ravana, invocated to Thirumal. Thirumal on hearing the plea, calmed them and went to Kayilai to visit Siva.

Thirumal meeting Sivan
There in Kayilai, Thirumal met Sivan and told, "Since you offered several crores of boons to Ravana he, as setting the Devas, Indra and other divine beings as shielders on all directions of his fort was ruling as an un-counterable king. His cruel activities towards his subjects are innumerable. I can't ignore their plea and sleep peacefully in Vaikundam. There is nobody there to save them other than us. So for destroying him, what is to be done to kill him? What kind of avatar should I need to come with? Please tell, the incomparable supreme." Sivan replied, "I can't snatch away the boons which I granted him once." Hearing this, Thirumal was disappointed and thought deeply in search of any other ways. Then he said, "King Dasarata is performing austrity that I must born as a son to him and on the other hand Dinakaran is on austrity that Lekshmi should born as a daughter for him.

Dvapara Yukam
This section also includes descriptions about the events in Dvapara Yukam and the Krishna avataram.

Bad (economics)

In economics, a bad is the opposite of an economic good. A 'bad' is anything with a negative value to the consumer, or a negative price in the marketplace. Refuse is an example of a bad. Similarly, a disservice is the opposite of a service.

A bad is a physical object that lowers a consumer's level of happiness, or stated alternately, a bad is an object whose consumption or presence lowers the utility of the consumer.

With normal goods, a two-party transaction results in the exchange of money for some object, as when money is exchanged for a car. With a bad, however, both money and the object in question go the same direction, as when a household gives up both money and garbage to a waste collector being compensated to take the garbage. In this way, garbage has a negative price; the waste collector is receiving both garbage and money and thus is paying a negative amount for the garbage.

Old Town, Bratislava

The Old Town of Bratislava (Staré Mesto, Óváros, Altstadt) is the historic center and one of the boroughs of Bratislava, in the Bratislava Region of Slovakia. It is coextensive with the smallest Slovak administrative district by area, Bratislava I. It contains the small, but preserved medieval city center, Bratislava Castle and other important landmarks. Bratislava's Old Town is known for its many churches, the Bratislava Riverfront and cultural institutions, it is also the location of most of the foreign states embassies and important Slovak institutions including the National Council of the Slovak Republic; the Summer Archbishop's Palace, seat of the Government of Slovakia; and Grassalkovich Palace, seat of the President of Slovakia.

Location
The Old Town is bordered by the river Danube to the west, Karlova Ves to the north, the New Town to the north and east, and Ružinov to the east and south.

Division
The Old Town is divided into several local parts: the historical center, Vydrica, Zukermandel, Blumentál, and others. Some of the local parts were demolished by the Communist government after World War II, including Vydrica and Zukermandel.

Characteristics
As its name suggests, the district houses many historic monuments and Bratislava's central institutions. It also contains many Slovak governmental offices and institutions, such as the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Justice.

The western part of the district is a hilly area (technically part of the Small Carpathians mountain range) featuring Bratislava Castle, the Slavín monument, Horský park (literally Mountain(ous) Park), many detached houses, and most of the foreign embassies in Slovakia. The hilly area ends in the south at the Danube with the Chatam Sofer Memorial and the Bratislava Castle hill, and in the west at the D2 Motorway. This part of Bratislava is more quiet than the other parts of the city's Old Town and, apart from the castle, it is seldom visited by tourists.

The eastern section is the historical and administrative center. Notable buildings and spaces include the Grassalkovich Palace, Trinity Church, Bratislava's Town Hall, St. Martin's Cathedral, Michael's Gate, the Primate's Palace, Comenius University, the main railway station (Hlavná stanica), the Slovak National Theatre (both the old and new sites), SNP Square, the Main Square (Hlavné námestie), Hviezdoslav Square (Hviezdoslavovo námestie), Kamenné námestie ('Stone Square'), Obchodná ulica ('Shop Street' equivalent to High Street), Pharmacy Salvator, Zochova Street from the 14th century and many other old churches and palaces. There are still some remnants of the medieval Bratislava city walls, although not open to the public for the time being.

Demographics
According to the 2021 census, 80% of inhabitants of the Old Town were Slovaks, 2% Hungarians, 1% Czechs and remaining 17% belonged to other nationalities, including those, who did not indicate their nationality. 33% of inhabitants indicated belonging to the Roman Catholic Church, 5% to Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Slovakia, 1% to the Slovak Greek Catholic Church. The plurality 43% indicated not belonging to any religion.

Current Talk Page

national pastime
Hi. Your syntax for redirect at national sport was correct. But link was wrong. You had written national pastimes, it should have been national pastime. I have corrected it. By the way, you need not blank your talk page (see Talk page), your discussions with over users can be stored here. When the page becomes too large, you can create archives. utcursch 08:47, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

George W. Bush
Thanks for your appreciation. I'm not sure I'd consider the "BUSHISANIDIOT" type editors to be on my side, or indeed on anyone's side. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that, during the campaign, there were times when the same nitwit vandalized both the Bush and Kerry articles, just for the sport of it. The thing that does surprise me is that the level of vandalism has stayed as high as it has since the election. I'm glad you're on board -- the more real editors we have, the better we can fight off the vandals. JamesMLane 03:52, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The supposed "warning" to you from an admin was, as you state, not how admins actually act, and this one was from some anon IP pretending to be an admin. That's why Hadal reverted it. (Comments on user talk pages aren't usually deleted but a gross impropriety like that is an exception.) Just ignore it. As for MONGO, we can't stop him from editing the page unless his conduct gets so bad as to support an arbitration proceeding against him. So far, I'd say he's nowhere near that point. We just have to keep editing the article to make sure that his censorship attempts don't succeed. If he gives up on trying to delete anything unflattering to Bush and concentrates instead on adding legitimate pro-Bush material, he might even help to improve the article.

Bill Belichick
Hi! I noticed that in the April 4 edit to Bill Belichick you added the following text:

"Known for being one of the most reserved coaches in NFL history, especially to the press, his focus on the game of football have begun rumors that Belichick may have Asperger's Syndrome."

I've searched for confirmation of association between Belichick and Asperger's and could not find anything. Additionally, even if it exists, I don't think rumor should be included in articles unless the rumor itself is central to the topic.

I didn't want to remove it before checking with you first since I realize there may be more behind the inclusion than I'm aware of. What do you think? Tobycat 04:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Association of Anarchist Wikipedians
I think what you misunderstand is that anarchism is not at all about chaos, but quite on the contrary, it is about spontaneous order. As I already said in the same text block, I would agree "elections" are fundamentally in conflict with the concept, since they reduce people's expressions to a vote (which can be easily controlled anyway) and result in a hierarchy of power. As for organizing though, you seem to be confusing anarchism with either one of its subsets, individualist anarchism, or with nihilism. In general though anarchists realize that only by organizing can you have any power, in the same way you won't see individual war or civil rights protestors walking about calling for change. As you can see, a number of groups work in this direction, and the only real complication I can see in relation to the tenets of anarchism is just the bureaucratic element, although I think when you don't have an internal hierarchy that is somewhat minimalized. I hope that sufficiently answers your question; if not feel free to message me back. Sarge Baldy June 28, 2005 03:28 (UTC)
 * Well, you shouldn't confuse it with anarcho-capitalism either, which is the more pronounced version of libertarianism. Anarchism isn't simply about eliminating the state, but also about reconstructing society in general so as to attain a more egalitarian power structure. This ideas range in extent from having a democratic self-managed society run by the working class, to one with no actual monetary economy or with no permanent settlements. So it's a fairly utopian movement, and generally hostile to capitalism. Sarge Baldy June 28, 2005 19:48 (UTC)

Typical troll
Most of the bio, which was not written by me, is about the various martial arts I have encountered, never said I was a master of all of them. One paragraph at the top mentions three of my thirty books, I figure that's pretty humble, LOL Only two references to getting some publicity overseas, nothing here. But YOU read that as "boasting?" Take some reading comprehension courses. Obviously, you are a fool, LOL

Barn
Thanks for the barn! As for barnstars, here's the deal: They are all listed at Barnstars on Wikipedia, which also has an explaination. The short story is this: any user can award one to any other user for anything. Typically, they have "criteria" for awarding them listed on the barnstar page, but there isn't a barnstar police. We typically don't award barnstars for everyday things, but feel free to create your own award (like the barn) to reward people for things that aren't barnstar-worthy. (I use Indulgences). If you have other questions, let me know! -- Essjay ·  Talk 22:26, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * I meant to include this in my above note: Thanks for your support with regard to Denelson83. As I said on the page and on his RfA, I don't have a problem with his disability, unless it interferes with his ability to be an administrator. He claims that his Aspergers is responsible for the actions that are being cited as reasons he shouldn't be an admin, and that suggests to me that his disability is interfering with his ability to be an admin. Anywho, I just wanted to say, thanks for backing me up; for that, you get a barn too! -- Essjay ·  Talk 22:33, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your vote of support on my recent RfA. I was quite surprised by the amount of support I received, and wish to extend my thanks to you for taking the time to support my nomination for adminship. -- Longhair | Talk 12:21, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment removal
I took the liberty of removing our conversation on Requests for comment/Stevertigo, since we figured out that it was a misunderstanding. I think it will be easier for people looking the page over not to be distracted by it, and I expect hardly anyone noticed the mistake, so I figure it's better this way. If you would rather have the conversation preserved, let me know. --Michael Snow 04:22, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello Karmafist. I've blocked User:Spirit of Grand Cru indefinitely as a sockpuppet account as per your request. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Furthermore, you'll see I'm now proudly displaying my new barn for all to see on my user page. Thanks. It's just what I needed. -- Longhair | Talk 02:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm happy to just ignore him. The edits are worthwhile. Nobody has to speak here I guess, and the less they say, the less that can be held against them really. It's no crime to observe a right to silence I guess, if that's what they want. And politics eh? I get more than enough politics here ;) -- Longhair | Talk 03:05, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Note to self, I Nowikied Longhair's addition since it was showing on the category. Karmafist 00:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Oops! - I forgot about that happening. I think we need a new template. This user is forgetful at times :) Good work with resolving the mini-issue on the VfD debates. Your target was one inclusionist of many who is a reasonable editor otherwise. I try to keep well out of the school debate and judge each article on it's own merit. Things didn't get out of hand which is a good result. -- Longhair | Talk 00:29, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Just a suggestion: instead of creating what is essentially a one-person template, which means that it will eventually be nominated for deletion at Templates for deletion, you should go ahead and substitute it onto your user page (add "subst:" in the template like this: so it doesn't need the template. If you want to see examples of more Babble-style boxes added to a User page without creating a template, take a look at the code for my user page.  Blank Verse  ∅  05:29, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The Babel templates are for denoting language skills so they do not even separate out the mutually-intelligible dialects such as British English and American English. Also, since the Babel project is primarily about the written language, there is no reason at all for the "official" Babel project to create additional templates for the innumerable accents that can be found around the world.

 * As for categories, there are categories under category:Wikipedians for the various US states (see Category:Wikipedians in Massachusetts for example), but there is no need for one for the Boston accent. If you create such a category, I have no doubt that it will get eventually deleted through the Categories for deletion process.

 * For now, you will have to be satisfied with your one-person template, and don't be surprised if it is eventually nominated for deletion at Templates for deletion. Blank Verse  ∅  22:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Just go ahead and put at the top of the template. db is the template for "delete because", and "user test" is one of the criteria for speedy deletion.  Blank Verse  ∅  04:30, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi - Thanks for the rfa support. I was actually sort of looking forward to Boothy's vote (either way). Contrary to popular opinion he doesn't always vote against. He's voted for so infrequently that it might be possible to figure out what his criteria is. Perhaps 10,000 edits over a year and a half is his minimum standard? Anyway - thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:13, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Nashua
Greetings, fellow Nashua-area resident. (I live in Mont Vernon, and lived in a Merrimack condo for the first couple of years after moving up here in 1987.) As far as making Nashua a featured article, anything is possible - my guess would be that we would have to expand its history section; heft seems to impress the voters. - DavidWBrooks 11:14, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Energy Policy Act questions
Hey there, I'm really sorry it's taken a bit to get back to you, other unpleasantries have distracted me from a few talk page issues. Anyway, to answer your question about Wikiquote, I haven't really dealt with it all that much myself. But in my limited experience, it really is what it seems -- a clearinghouse for quotes from certain people. For the most part, I think articles are created on people, and therein things they've said are deposited. But I've also seen pages of quotes from movies and television shows. Were I you, I would probably either create a page for the individual politicians whose quotes you want to include there, and put them there with an explanation of in what context the thing was said, OR, maybe create a page of quotes related to this bill. I'm not sure if there is any precedent there for doing such a thing, but like any wiki, you can start any article you like. Wicked. · Katefan0(scribble) 16:04, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

You part-time for the Cabinet? I just moved into that building - the Telegraph's parent company bought the Cabinet in the spring. Say hello next time you're here.

Creating a Radio Station
Ah, right...just like a forum. Replies on bottom. Don't know why I thought top.

Anyway, I've been doing internet radio personally since 1997. I started with a Live365 account, and that served me OK for a while. Then they started implementing bad policies like requiring listeners to register to listen, and making them watch VIDEO ads before the stream started. Not good stuff.

It's not that it's really "hard" to do, but it does take money. You need some kind of playlist automation machine to run the playlist for your station if it's going to be a 24/7 station. If it's going to be on the Internet, then you would need to get stream server hosting from somewhere (either SHOUTcast or Icecast most likely). That can go from $0.80 (32kbps) to $5.00 (192kbps) per listener slot in mp3 format depending on quality if you get it slot by slot from a company (such as Mediacast1). There are also other internet radio broadcast codecs such as Ogg Vorbis that allows for high quality sounding audio at lower bitrates, therefore saving you money. There's even some new codecs like aac+ that can deliver CD quality in 32kbps or something, but those are not free/open source and cost a minimum of $100 to get going.

Then there is a whole other aspect called licensing. Depending on where you live, you have to pay for the music you play. In the USA, you'd have to go through the various organizations such as ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SoundExchange. There are some smaller companies that pay those agencies on your behalf, which tends to be cheaper. They take advantage of a "joint" or "blanket" license and you pay them accordingly. Services like this are SWCast or LoudCity. I'd go for LoudCity if you are a new broadcaster, SWCast has let me down in the past.

As for FM or LPFM, if you are in the US it will be a lot harder to legally do that than an internet broadcast. You have to get a license from the FCC to do that, and I am still looking in to all that myself, although I do have a small FM transmitter here (just a couple of Ramsey kits).

I've probably left a few things out since I was just told to shorten one of my first Wikipedia posts when I included all the complete info, so if you have any more questions about this, feel free to ask or email me :)

Ta for the welcome.
I've actually been here for a little while (having come over from everything2.com about a year ago) but I'm afraid my days of writing articles are largely over - my edits have mostly been confined to random cleanups (spelling, grammar etc).

Akilam four

Akilam four is the fourth section of Akilathirattu Ammanai, the primary scripture of Ayyavazhi. This section narrates the prosperous life of Santror after their marriage with the daughters of King Nirupathi. It also describes the birth of Kaliyan, his cruel activities and its impact in the world.

This section describes the genesis of modern human civilization and the universal transformation which is initiated by the beginning of Kali Yuga, thereby causing a rapid decline of the divine powers which exist until then. It also profess that all the ruling powers were surrendered to Vishnu from Sivan and other god-heads at the start of the Kali Yuga.

The life of Santror
After their marriage, the Santror lived a divine life as per the Neetham in the palaces which was offered by Kali to them. Before the advent of Kali the Santror beget children. This dynasty gradually learned the various life arts including, trade, deep-sea navigation, etc. But on the other hand, they didn't fail to respect Palmyra and treated the juice of it as celestial nectar. The then Chola wondered about the talents of Santror and ordered his troops to fulfill all the wants and needs of them. He also craved the efficiency of Santror in his Palace. The Santror served as the protective agents of the ancient Chozha Kingdom. Thus Santror lived in harmony with the Chozha dynasty.

Creation of Kaliyan
After a long period, a saint named Kuru visited Kailash. He reminded Sivan that as previously planned, only five fragments of Kroni have been given birth and the final fragment is yet to take birth. It is the right time to give birth to the sixth fragment of Kroni in the world. Sivan told that, Vishnu is yet to come by finishing the sixth Yuga and on his return, he would inform about it to him.

The Kuru saint replied that Vishnu, by ending his previous Avatar and was on a divine sleep to take birth again. To get the opinion about this from the Devas, Siva assembled the devas of all logas and ask for their feedback. Devas unanimously accepted to give birth to the final fragment. And Siva decided to create the next fragment as Kaliyan. The moment he made the decision, the fragment took birth inverted (head-down and legs-up) in the world. On hearing heard this, Sivan asked qualities of the Kaliyan to Chithrabuthira. Chithrabuthira detailed the qualities, the physical body, the mind-set of Kaliyan. Then Sivan ordered devas to bring Kaliyan in front of him.

Boons to Kaliyan
As per the order Kaliyan was brought before Sivan. And the devas told Kaliyan that Sivan was the one who created you and he will offer you whatever you need. First refused to accept that, but when a beautiful women named Kalicchi was created for him, he believed the words of Devas. He was then asked to claim what ever he wants. So Kaliyan started demanding the terrible boons that he wanted. On hearing this everyone was shocked.

For offering the boons claimed by Kaliyan, Sivan created Agatheesar from his mind and ordered him to give whatever Kaliyan needs, and Agatheesar did so. Then Kaliyan, along with Kalicchi enters the world.

The rule of Kaliyan
On his way, Vishnu met Kaliyan and made him to promise that, if he disturbs any Pantaram (Sanyasins) in the world, he himself will go to hell. Then he cursed the Chakra as Money and offered to Kaliyan. When Kaliyan entered the world, all good or white beings left the world. Then Kaliyan with his cruel and powerful boons started ruling the world, breaking the rule of Neetham. So Devas, unable to tolerate the cruelty of Kaliyan requested Sivan to find solution in the matter of Kaliyan. Sivan discussed with the devas to call Vishnu for their rescue. Devas accepted for that and so Sivan performs Tavam towards Vishnu. Hearing about the Tavam of Sivan, Vishnu went to Kailash. Sivan told about the cruelty of Kaliyan and asked the method of destroying him. Vishnu gave some solution for Sivan for the destruction of Kaliyan.

Akilam five

Akilam Five is the fifth section of Akilam, which is the primary scripture of Ayyavazhi. It narrates the cruel reign of Kaliyan, the death of two Santror and the subsequent curse given to Kali. It also hints about the start of the Kalineesan dynasty that tortured Vaikundar.

The final passages confess that Narayana as Anantha Padmanabha Swamy deserted Thiruvananthapuram and challenged him that he will come one day to destroy Kali.

Break down of Vaigai
Because of the serious and cruel nature of Kali, all beings caught hold of the evil spirit of Kali. The caste system which was until than a social organisation changed its color as a matter of social dignity with respects to their works. People lost their divine mindset and everyone longed to create an individuality which results in cold-tensions between them. The concept that "all are one" was completely driven out from the society by Kali.

Meanwhile, heavy rainfall caused the Vaigai Dam to break off and much of the lands in the Chola country was sunk in waters. People requested the king for their rescue. For rectifying the damage, the King ordered that one person from each house should go for the work of the dam. Though everyone worked hard, they were not able to rebuild the dam and stop the floods. They admitted this to the King and told that only the Mighty Santror of Puttapuram can accomplish this. The King immediately ordered his minister to bring Santror to his court.

They were brought in front of the king, and he ordered the Santror to repair the damage. But Santror refused to accept his order, saying that carrying mud on their head will affect their social dignity. Since they refused the order of the King one of them was killed but cutting down the head by an elephant. And told to the other Santror that they will also be killed if they refused. They too disagreed and another man was also killed.

Thirumal at Vaigai
All the Seven Logas were stunned by this incident. By now, two of the Santror were killed, and Mother Kaali(Durga) was sent to jail, since she had earlier promised that if she allows any damage to the Santror, she herself will go to jail. By the time, Saint Vidhyadara pleaded for the rescue of the remaining Santror. So Thirumal, in the state of Para brahmam went to Vaigai as the representative of Vanthi (a steamcake seller in Chozha country) and filled the Dam and it got repaired. He then return to Srirangam.

Kaali being struck by the activities of Chola king, cursed him and his nation. The wives of the died Santror too cursed the Chola King and they started performing austerity towards Thirumal for rescuing the Santror from this disaster. Meanwhile, the curse of them began to react in the Chola country. It began from the palace of divinity, Srirangam itself. The priests lost their divine thought and started misbehaving even in the temple. They even started stealing things there in temple which was donated for divine rituals.

The Velvi of a Priest
Observing the happenings in the Chola country, a genuine Poojari(Priest) there in the temple guessed that something bad is going to happen to the country. He advised the other priests to be genuine, but they did not listen. So he started performing Velvi (ritual) towards Thirumal. Since he didn't appear before him he ought to destroy himself jumping into the fire of Velvi. So for his rescue, Thirumal appeared before him and the priest told about the unusual activities of the other priests. Thirumal advised them to go to Thiruvananthapuram. He added that it is no more good time for Chola Kingdom and so we have to go to Thiruvananathapuram. So he advised the priest to be prepared for that.

Meanwhile, Sethira Balakan (a temple boy) and some other priests learned of this and they went to Kailash and pleaded in front of Sivan. So all the devas of Siva Loga along with the Sethira Balakan, pleaded Thirumal that "Why he should go to Thiruvananthapuram?"

Journey to Thiruvananthapuram
Thirumal told that the Neetham can no more be preserved in the Chola Kingdom, and so he has to leave the place. The Devas said that the land of Thiruvananthapuram is already ruled by Kalineesan and that the cruelty of Kali is intolerable. Thirumal told that he knew it very well but He had to go there since, once a saint called Sugu Muni had cursed Him that he must be in Thiruvananthapuram for some time.

Saying this Thirumal started his journey to Thiruvananthapuram. He took Sethira Balakan, Aruna Mamuni and some other devas with him. On the way they come across 55 statues grouped at one place, which were all devas of Brahma Loga once cursed to be as statues and so they were there. Thirumal touched them with his hands, instantly they all got life. They all demanded life in the Bhoologa (world) and so they were granted boons to be so in across 55 nations. Afterwards Thirumal continued his journey and when close to Ananthapuram, they come across a rock which was Ekkala Durga who was once cursed for disobeying the words of Sivan. She was also told that when Thirumal touch you, your cursed will be finished. So now being touched by Thirumal she stood up.

Thirumal asked for the reason of her curse. She told that, '' "I was then a beautiful woman, the wife of Senthi Rishi. Once Yama saw me and he wanted to take me with him and for that he killed my husband. So I performed austerity towards Sivan to kill Yama. But Sivan appeared before me and told that this is not the time to do so. I didn't agree with, so he cursed me." '' Hearing this Thirumal told that by the advent of Dharma Yukam, your Tavam will be fulfilled and till then you continue to perform Tavam. Hearing this, Thirumal proceeded to Ananthapuram.

On the way they found devas of four Logas performing austerity there. Thirumal asked the reason and they replied that as per the fate and the words of Vethan they all should be born in the world in the Kali Yuga. They also pleaded to Thirumal that in Kali Yuga they need to be born in the gene of Santror. Thirumal accepted their demand and wished them for their Tavam and continued his journey.

After some time they again come across a case where a Cow and a woman performing austerity. Thirumal asked the cow for the reason for the Tavam. The cow said that this woman is under Tavam for killing my son. So even if my son died, I want him again to resurrect as my son. Then Thirumal asked the reason for the Tavam with the woman. She told that, the lady who was performing Tavam as a cow over there had a son who was in love with me. As I refused, he killed my 14-year-old boy. So I want his boy also to be killed. Hearing this, Thirumal told the lady that you will achieve the aim of the Tavam and told the cow that even if your son would be killed, he will take birth as your son in your next birth (reincarnation) and will be made to perform the Panividai for Vaikundar. Saying this they again proceeded to Thiruvananthapuram.

Thirumal in Thiruvananthapuram
Thirumal reached Thiruvananthapuram and slept (Palli Kolluthal) over there as Anantha Padmanabha Swamy. A Pulayar woman identified the presence of God over there and informed the King about it. So the king built a Temple for him there. Then the Kalineesan who was ruling the land of Thiruvananthapuram had no children. As per the advice of Anantha Padmanabha Swamy, he went to Kasi and performed Tavam for the begetting a child. There his Tavam met with failure but through a crane he had a son named Venneesan.

Then he returned to Ananthapuram and from then onwards the son-in-law rule was adopted in the Travancore kingdom. The reign of Kalineesan was cruel as he tortured the Santror very much and treated them as slaves. Thirumal advised the king (Kalineesan) to stop torturing them. On his refusal Thirumal deserted Thiruvananthapuram and came to Tiruchendur and slept over there.

Rémy Belleau

Remy (or Rémi) Belleau (1528 – 6 March 1577) was a poet of the French Renaissance. He is most known for his paradoxical poems of praise for simple things and his poems about precious stones.

Life
Remy was born in Nogent-le-Rotrou. A nobleman (under the tutelage of the Lorraine family), he did his studies under Marc Antoine Muret and George Buchanan. As a student, he became friends with the young poets Jean de La Péruse, Étienne Jodelle, Jean de La Taille and Pierre de Ronsard and the latter incorporated Remy into the "La Pléiade", a group of revolutionary young poets. Belleau's first published poems were odes, les Petites Inventions (1556), inspired by the ancient lyric Greek collection attributed to Anacreon and featuring poems of praise for such things as butterflies, oysters, cherries, coral, shadows, turtles. In the 1560s, Belleau tried his hand at a mixed verse and prose form modeled on the Italian pastoral Arcadia by Jacopo Sannazaro (French translation, 1544): this became La Bergerie (1565-1572), in which narration (in prose) is interspersed with poems on love and the countryside. His last work, les Amours et nouveaux Eschanges des Pierres precieuses (1576), is a poetic description of gems and their properties inspired by medieval and renaissance lapidary catalogues. He died in Paris on 6 March 1577, and was buried in Grands Augustins.

Remy Belleau was greatly admired by poets in the twentieth century, such as Francis Ponge.

Jean Louis Petitot

Jean Louis Petitot (2 January 1653 – 29 October 1702), French enamel painter, was the eldest son of Jean Petitot, and was instructed in enameling by his father. Some of his works so closely resemble those of the elder Petitot that it is difficult to distinguish between them, and he was really the only serious rival his father ever had. He settled for a while in London, where he stayed until 1682, and painted many enamel portraits of Charles II. In 1682 he removed to Paris, but in 1695 was back again in London, where he remained until his death.

His portrait by Mignard is in the museum at Geneva, and another in enamel by himself in the collection of the earl of Dartrey, who also owns two of his wife, Madeleine Bordier, whom he married in 1683. Another portrait believed to represent him was in the collection of John Pierpont Morgan.

Okey Patteson

Okey Leonidas Patteson (September 14, 1898 –July 3, 1989) was the 23rd Governor of West Virginia from 1949 to 1953. He was a member of the United States Democratic Party and of the "machine" that totally controlled politics in that era in the state.

Biography
Okey Patteson was son of L.C. and Lola (Groves) Patteson. He was born at Dingess, West Virginia and raised at Mount Hope, Fayette County. He married Lee Hawse in 1923 and they had two daughters, Fanny Lee and Anna Hughes. His religious affiliation was Methodist. In 1932, a hunting accident left him disabled, as both of his legs had to be amputated below the knees.

Patteson graduated with a bachelor's degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College and did post-graduate work at Carnegie Institute of Technology. He was awarded honorary degrees of L.L.D. from West Virginia University in 1949 and from West Virginia Wesleyan College.

Patteson worked as an automobile dealer and with real estate in Mount Hope. He served as President of Fayette County Court 1935–41 and as sheriff of Fayette County 1941–44. In the 1944 elections, he was Campaign manager for the Democratic Party and became a Presidential elector. The new governor, Clarence W. Meadows, appointed him his personal assistant, a position he held for three years, until he resigned to run for governor, January 1, 1948. He won the nomination with a margin of 62 000 over the nearest opponent and was elected by majority of 110 000 in the general election. He served as governor for one term.

Patteson was a member of the Board of Trustees of West Virginia Wesleyan, and of a number of societies: Free masons, Knights Templar, Moose International, Lions, Chamber of Commerce, American Legion, Sons of the American Revolution and Elks. He was a member of the National Guard for three years.

After his term Patteson served as general manager of the Turnpike, returned to real estate business, and became president of the Raleigh County Bank. In 1969, Governor Arch A. Moore, Jr. named Patteson to the newly created Board of Regents.

Governorship
He is best known for his decision to place the state's first medical school at West Virginia University in Morgantown, in the northern part of the state, rather than in the more centrally located Charleston. A section of West Virginia Route 705 leading to West Virginia University Hospitals is named Patteson Drive in his honor.

He also is known for the initial construction of the West Virginia Turnpike, which was to be a 4-lane road system throughout the state, although, after his term, it was superseded by the interstate highway system, with only a 2-lane section between Charleston and Princeton ever completed.

During his governorship, Patteson, in a now-infamous decision, closed the state investigation into the disappearance of the Sodder children, calling the children's parents' pursuit of the case "hopeless".

During his term, the legislature created the position of state Tax Commissioner and authorized cities to levy sales taxes.

He was praised by crime writer Erle Stanley Gardner for his careful re-investigation of the case of convicted murderer Robert Ballard Bailey when doubts were raised about the validity of the conviction. Gardner dedicated his detective novel Top of the Heap to Patteson.

a quick question...
why does your article say "An average growth rate is 0.13 mm (0.005 inches) a year. The quickest growing stalactites are those formed by fast-flowing water rich in calcium carbonate and carbon dioxide, these can grow at 3 mm (0.12 inches) per year.[2]" when science proves that to be a lie?

the Lincoln memorial was made in 1922, but 50 inch stalactites grow on it. this mine was only about 50 years old... so the concrete fallacy will not work on this one. http://www.answersingenesis.org/Home/Area/Magazines/images/202Cave.jpg

so why post lies? Iceveela (talk) 07:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Growth rates
"An average growth rate is 0.13 mm (0.0051 inches) a year. The quickest growing stalactites are those formed by fast-flowing water rich in calcium carbonate and carbon dioxide, these can grow at 3 mm (0.12 inches) per year" - I assume the picture next to it wasn't taken over years, so growth rates are possibly much faster then that. --196.2.126.173 (talk) 14:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The picture next to it is not calcite. It is some mineral which crystalizes at a much faster rate for purposes of the demonstration. WTucker (talk) 01:08, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Limestone bias
It appears that this article only specifically states that stalactites are limestone formations only which is strictly false. While there already is a lavacicle article, it notes the lavacicle term is generic. I have sources that could add to the lavacicle article, even noting the origination of the term, as well as broadening the stalactite/stalagmite articles to be inclusive of non-limestone formations.

I may recommend that the lavacicle article be migrated to inclusions in both the stalactite/stalagmite articles on lava formations, since lavacicles are both stalactites and stalagmites and obviously generic in description. Perhaps this article should differentiate between primary formations (those in lava) and secondary formations (those in limestone, etc.) Leitmotiv (talk) 02:52, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm not at all sure about these recent changes. I have been unable to find a definition for stalactite that matches what we now have. I have waded through about a dozen dictionaries and glossaries and virtually all refer to them as a type of speleothem, related to precipitation from groundwater. The mechanism of formation of stalactites and lavacicles is fundamentally different, even if the forms are similar. Mikenorton (talk) 20:49, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I added the reference for you. I have more if you want. It strictly says that "a stalactite is not necessarily a speleothem." And it gives examples of others (not in the wiki article, yet) including: "amberat, lava, minerals, mud, peat, pitch, sand, and sinter." The source of this reference comes from Bulletin 87 of the Western Speleological Survey. Highly scientific in nature and reputable as are the rest of Larson's work. Right now we have authoritative sources for lava stalactites, and I could get some for ice stalactites (see Crystal Ice Cave in Lava Beds National Monument). Plenty of literature on other kinds of stalactites too. So let's be inclusive, not exclusive.

 * "Forms are similar", therefore they are both stalactites. What this means is that there is no one way in which they form. There should not be limestone bias in this article. Primary methods for formation are equally as valid as secondary methods.

 * The term "lavacicle" is pedestrian in nature, not scientific, and does not differentiate between stalagmites or stalactites, let alone anything else it may be describing. It's an archaic term from 50 years ago, coined by Phil Brogan for Lavacicle Cave. Now it is noted in the article as a passing reference. I recommend not using it any further if you wish to sound professional.

 * Additionally, since a stalactite can be made out of "minerals" (meaning plural) this means that limestone should not be the narrow focus of this article. Stalactites composed of other minerals besides limestone exist, including ice. Which I added in the original edit I made recently. Leitmotiv (talk) 21:11, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Small addendum - Looks like I am wrong about Phil Brogan being the coiner of the term lavacicle. It is unknown who coined it, but the first written usage appears in 1923 as "lava-cicle" in The Lava River Tunnel, by Williams. MacArthur credited Phil Brogan in 1959 when describing "lava 'icicles'." Larson notes: "'Lavacicle' is a general term that has been applied to nearly anything of a primary nature that protrudes into a lava tube. It is ambiguous unless qualified."

 * Since those early days, the term stalactite has taken favor because of its accuracy and the plethora of different kinds of stalactites found in lava tubes, as well as to differentiate from stalagmites as Larson has noted. Hundreds of sources are available for lava stalactites and stalagmites. Like I said, lavacicle is an archaic and generic term and has been phased out. Leitmotiv (talk) 19:08, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
