I really like that your blog is purple cause I LOVE PURPLE :)ReplyDelete
I am attracted by visuals, I like it when blogs have big clear pictures, and clear justified content, (i know im fussy ha) I would suggest maybe making you images bigger. when you upload a picture you your post, you can click it and it will highlight and a little tool bar will appear, you can select the size you want there, and the blogger with make it bigger or smaller whatever you prefer.ReplyDelete
I love the color scheme, very feminine and fun! I also think a banner would be a good idea and 'clean up' the the sidebar. Less is more. Definitely post more often :)ReplyDelete
Super excited for another edition of blog hop and a blog critique! I'll be visiting Antique Purple shortly :)ReplyDelete
I'd have to agree moving the followers above the fold is a must. The content is strong and picture quality is very nice as well. I'm a bit turned off by the keep calm badge on every post however instead I would put a signature picture or include a question for your readers that is related to the post.ReplyDelete
Beauty Flawed
I have always loved Antique Purple but I do agree you need to post more and get a banner. Keep Calm and Follow My Blog is a good idea (not for the banner lol) but a bit pushy in my opinion.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 7, 2012 at 7:57 PM
The color purple is my favorite.and me personally i love browsing through blogs that has a minimal layout (simple white or black) i think that your blog looks great but i can agree that a banner and maybe a white layout you can still show that you love purple by adding the color to your links or your post tittle.ReplyDelete
make your photos a little bigger not to big that will slow up your blog to load.i hate it when i stop by a blog and it take forever to load.
hope this help a bit.i'm a new blogger as well and i'm still working around my blog..good luck!
I agree with what everyone else has said, you definitely need a banner. I'm on the fence about the purple, because although I do love a clean white background, your purple background shows your personality. You have pretty good tutorials, I would just suggest making them larger, and of course, post more often.ReplyDelete
A little constructive comment is useful. thanks for the post it is very helpful - would you like to follow each other?ReplyDelete
I am a fan of minimal as well. When I link to a blog and the first thing that comes up is an overdose of color I have trouble getting into the content. I am a simple person though ;)ReplyDelete
Having a favorite color is nice, but maybe turn down the purple just a tad. I found you on Blogging Buddies, and now I'm a follower. And I added your blog button to my link page on my site.ReplyDelete
I agree- an eye-catching color is always smart. Mine is peach/coral with a simple 4 picture collage. I want to change it to a better and personalized banner, but I don't quite know how...ReplyDelete
i have grown to love the color purple. it is so luxe and regal... and i am really beginning to like blogs w more colors in them. i absolutely love the bubbles in the back. :)
hope you're well! :)
thank for this hun this was so helpful... i am trying to work on a banner and get in some tabs pretty soon. i will be getting rid of the keep calm and follow my blog. thanks everyone for your critique..ReplyDelete

Prayer is a way to connect to the Divine through the outpouring of Love from the heart. On our bhakti path, devotional prayers are offered through ritual ceremonies. Prayer in general is a very open and free way to worship the Divine. Singing and chanting the Divine Names or simply by thinking of God is common in most traditions. Ceremonial forms of worship take the form of puja, abhishekam and yagna. All lead one to the same goal, realising that which "is" - the Divine.
The word 'puja' consists of 'pa', which means parayana (or continuous repetition of the names of God) and 'a' meaning japa (continuous mental recitation of the Names of God). Puja is essentially a kind of worship in which both parayanam and japam are practised by the devotees.
According to another interpretation, Pu means pushpam or flower and ja means jal. In the puja ceremony both flowers and water are offered to the deity during the worship. The letter ja can also mean simultaneously japam. So if we take these twin meanings of ja into consideration, puja becomes that ceremony during which water and flowers are offered to God along with recitation of His names.
Regardless of the form of Hindu prayer that is conducted – all involve the invocation and the worshipping of the Deity that the pujari is praying to. We carry out a number of different pujas. The pujas that we carry out are Simple Puja, Abhishekam, Yagna and Kalash Puja.
Abhishekam is a ceremony that is conducted to a deity in the form of a statue (murti). This ceremony takes its current form from ancient India. Guests in that time were welcomed with high regard and would immediately be given a place to sit and the feet washed after walking to their destination. The guest was given food and drink and offered chandan to cool the body. Nowadays the abhishekam ritual based on this welcoming of the Divine has changed although the same intention of the prayer remains. Guests were considered to be equal to the Divine entering one's house. The deity in this instance would be akin to the guest in ancient times.
The deity is invocated by meditating upon and chanting Sanskrit mantras. Once present in the murti, the deity is then given a foot bath and its hands washed before being worshiped. Various substances are then poured over the deity. Five of these substances – milk, yoghurt, ghee, honey and sugar represent the five elements respectively – water, earth, fire, air and ether.
A mixture containing all of these five (called panchamrit) is also poured over the deity after the initial five have been offered. Whilst each of these substances are being offered, various Sanskrit mantras are chanted asking the deity to accept these items. By offering to the deity these five substances, we are also asking for the purification of the five elements – not just in the space where the ceremony is taking place but also within ourselves. The elements also correspond to the five senses: water – vision, earth – taste, fire – hearing, ether – smell and air – touch. In this way, when we offer these five elements, we also are asking for the purification of the five senses.
After the pouring of the substances we offer a bath of Ganges water. Ganges water comes from the holy river Ganges and is thought to wash and purify one's being of karma. We therefore are asking the deity that it is accepted as an offering. We then dress the deity and offer chandan, kumkum, flowers, perfume, incense, fruits (cooked Prasad) and water to drink.
Once all the items have been offered with Love and devotion to the deity, we then offer arati (a ghee or camphor lamp). Whilst the arati is offered we sing the praises of the deity and ring bells and blow the conch to show our Love and gratitude for the deity coming into our presence and accepting our prayers.
The term "Yagna" has several meanings:
- Literally translated means to selflessly sacrifice for noble purposes.
- Secondly, yagna also means to worship the Divine - either as an external or an internal ritual – done within one's own being.
- Thirdly, yagna is the name given to a fire ceremony that is conducted where one offers sacrifices into a holy fire – where the fire becomes an aspect of God.
Many yagna fire ceremonies are carried out in the company of a group of people. The aim of the yagnas are varied but in essence they are performed to bestow benefit to some or all people present, the surrounding environment and the world.
The deity to whom the yagna is being performed is invoked into the yagna through meditation and chanting of Sanskrit mantras. We begin to worship the deity by offering ghee and a rice mixture containing Havan Samagri. The rice mixture symbolically represents the 9 astrological planets, so by offering the rice mixture into the yagna, we are also offering all our negative astrological influences to the deity for purification.
Similar to abhishekam, we also offer into the sacred fire the elements milk, yoghurt, ghee, honey, sugar and panchamrit – asking the deity to purify the five elements within us, the surrounding environment and the five senses. Chanting and contemplating the Name of the deity helps us to connect and feel and/or see Her/His presence. The most important offering in the sacred fire is the Love that comes from within our hearts. This enables us to establish this connection of Love which is paramount in surrendering aspects of ego to the beloved deity. Yagna is a very powerful tool for transmuting the accumulated karmas that one builds up from one's lives.
At the end of the yagna, we offer arati to the deity and ask all the deities who have attended the yagna and offered their help and assistance to return to their dwelling place.
Kalash Puja
Kalash puja is the ceremony that is undertaken to purna-kumbha or Kalash as it is known. The kalash consists of a brass/copper pot filled with water and other auspicious articles on which mango leaves are placed in the open neck of the pot. Onto the mango leaves is placed a coconut. The kalash itself is the vessel into which the deity is invoked and worshipped.
Initially, purification of the pujari (the person(s) doing the puja) and the surrounding environment and puja items is undertaken. Following the purification, Guru puja is done so that the pujari may receive the Guru's blessing and guidance.
The space in which the ceremony is conducted is sealed energetically so that there is no interference with the ceremony from external sources. We then invoke Varun (God of water) into the water of the kalash to purify the water prior to invoking the main deity. The main deity is then invoked into the kalash as well as into ourselves through a series of invocations known as the praana pratishta. We then offer puja to the main deity now residing within the kalash.
At the end of the puja we light a camphor and offer the arati to the kalash. After arati, we light the yagna with the arati camphor and invoke the presence of Agni – God of fire. We then conduct the yagna to the main deity that was invoked into the kalash and end the yagna by offering a coconut into the fire. The coconut represents the heart of man – the outer shell being hard like the ego, whereas the inner part of the coconut is pure and clean, much like the inner sanctum of the heart of man.
If we have a murti of the deity, we then carry out abhishekam to the deity and finish the abhishekam by pouring over the deity the energised water from the kalash. Before the water is poured over the deity, we recite a mantra to thank the deity for the help and kindly ask the deity to leave the kalash and return to where it normally resides.
The ritual is powerful and very uplifting for the devotee; the ceremony helps to purify oneself and to connect with one's beloved deity. Many times after performing a kalash puja, we are blessed with rain. The rain is a very auspicious sign from Mother Earth and the deity that the ceremony was very beneficial for the environment, and that much purification took place for all people present and for the whole area.
Request a Personal Puja
A 'personal puja' is a puja which is conducted at Shree Peetha Nilaya by one of the pujaris or Swamis for your specific request.
The ceremony conducted can either be a kalash puja or yagna dedicated to Sri Lakshmi Narayana who are the ultimate principles of male and female, just like Shiva-Shakti. Both of these principles are within ourselves, and through their help and blessings they give balance, harmony and peace. During each of the ceremonies, offerings are made to Sri Lakshmi Narayan in the name given in order to receive their blessing. Examples of prayer request include, but are not limited to: Spiritual Growth, Health, New Job, or Blessing for a friend/family member.
After the Puja, you will receive the blessed petals, rice, a holy thread for protection and for the Kalash Puja ceremony, a vial containing blessed Kalash water to sprinkle around your property for purification and protection.Price: Yagna - 100 €. Kalash Puja - 150 €. The payment can be made either in person to Swami Vishwakeshavananda at Shree Peetha Nilaya, or via the Bhakti Marga online shop.

Chinese politician Jintao Hu stated, "Diversity in the world is a basic characteristic of human society, and also the key condition for a lively and dynamic world as we see today." There is nowhere that we see diversity reflected any more than in the healthcare field. In the article, In Healthcare, Diversity Matters, Crystal Laucel states that approximately 1/3 of the US population is comprised of racial and ethnic minorities. That percentage is growing, so much that it is expected to reach more than half of the population in the next three decades. Why is this important for someone who is considering a career in healthcare? There is a place for everyone in this field, regardless of your background. By understanding the diversity that exists, providers can improve the overall quality of care.
Passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has helped to ensure increased coverage, particularly for the largely minority populations that were not being previously served. Unfortunately, if healthcare professionals cannot effectively work with these patients, then those strides will be for nothing. Numerous studies have shown that patients are more likely to receive quality preventative care and treatment when they share race, ethnicity, language, and / or religious experience with their providers ("Looking to the Future: Improving the Diversity of the Healthcare Workforce"). Having a diverse background then is definitely an advantage in this career field. More importantly than that though is the ability and willingness to develop a sense of tolerance, respect, and understanding about the differences in others. Patricia Prelock, Ph.D., Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Vermont, states, "The patients we're serving now will look very different from those we're going to be serving in 20 years…if we don't have the cultural context of those people, we're not going to be effective as health care professionals." Cultural awareness means willingness to learn as much as possible about that patient to make their experience a positive one. You can do that regardless of your own background.
At Larock Healthcare Academy, we value the diversity that our students bring to us. They represent a variety of ages, religious beliefs, cultures, languages, educational experiences, sexual orientations, gender identities, ethnicities, races, and more. That only helps to foster a sense of respect for each other and for the healthcare field itself. Regardless of the specific program that you are interested in, you will find a caring, supportive environment in which you can grow into a professional who is ready to embrace the challenge and satisfaction of making a difference in the world.

Unemployment in Spain falls to pre-crisis levels
New labour contracts drawn up over the summer in Spain have reduced the number of unemployed in Spain to 3.13 million, the lowest level in nearly a decade and 2 million below peak levels reached during the financial crisis.
According to the National Institute of Statistics, 27,141 more people were offered employment in July, peak season for the tourism sector in Spain. 19.4 million workers across Spain are now paying into the Spanish social security fund.
As unemployment rates fall for the first time since before the crisis, the current account is also exhibiting a sustained surplus of close to 2% of the Gross Domestic Product, the highest level since the global financial crisis plunged Spain's property sector and economy into a recession in 2008.
Unemployment levels skyrocketed to 27% of the nations population in early 2013, over 5 million people unemployed throughout Spain, comparable to just 8% before the crisis began. Today's reports situate that number at 15.8%, a vast improvement though job creation and wages remain low.

Mr. Obama's immigration policy, which is to break US immigration law wherever possible, is allowing anti-American people to become residents and possibly citizens. He has no policy for assimilation. Perhaps that is his plan.
The United States must consider assimilation guidelines before openly welcoming people who come here illegally. People are coming here who don't sustain themselves, who are anti-American activists, drug dealers, sex offenders, and terrorists. They are all in the mix.
It was just announced that one county in California – Los Angeles County – is about to give $650 million in welfare benefits to illegals who have native born children. Meanwhile, California gets $40 million a month in 'loans' from the federal government – our taxes – to keep themselves afloat because they have unsustainable debt.
Last year, Senator Durbin stood before the Senate extolling the virtues of 'DREAMer' activist Alaa Mukahhal who is of Palestinian descent and was brought here illegally by her parents. She is an honor student with a degree in architecture. She needs a path to citizenship, he said, so she can fulfill her American dream. He featured her on his own official webpage.
He quoted Alaa as saying, "I'm an asset to this country, a resource, and I want to make good use of my degree."
Durbin said, "In the finest American tradition, Alaa has become an activist. She has stepped out to introduce herself to America, so we know who these Dream Act students are."
Photo of Dick Durbin holding up a poster with 'DREAMer' Alaa standing in front of her 'prop', the US flag, during a session of Congress. Alaa claimed at the time that she wanted to build housing for the poor and fulfill her dream. It's hard to understand why politicians like Durbin do not even vet the people they are using as examples – Alaa is not who she says she is. Alaa is only one of the DREAMers whose story has been debunked.
Breitbart took a look at her Facebook page which says something completely different. She is an anti-semite who hates the US, has a foul mouth, dislikes whites though her skin is obviously white, and she wants to community organize on radical issues.
On February 3, 2012 she describes her 'love' for the US flag:
'Did ya'll notice the flag in the background of the pic? That was no coincidence #messaging #lol'
In an open letter to her parents, Alaa discusses her passion for community organizing:
'Dear Mama and Baba, I can't stop organizing. Organizing is the reason I get up in the morning. I have to, need to organize because the alternative, doing nothing and staying silent is more oppressive than the immigration system itself.'
On November 16, 2012, she expresses her contempt for Jews:
'Let's just be friends and pretend the genocide in Palestine is not happening because, you know, we just want to make peace, we just want to talk, we just wanna do godmom and apple pie fun interfaith stuff, why are you bringing political baggage, we just want to talk, and have a civil conversation, this is happening over there, and this is here, let's just have a conversation.
NO. Deny Palestine, and you deny me, my past, my present and my future. Deny Palestine, and you are an accomplice to the murders. To hell with interfaith shit if you can't recognize the oppression of my people. Ever see King or Ghandi say let's ignore the holocaust of my people so we can talk? You are an accomplice. You are an accomplice. You are an accomplice.
I'm undocumented in America today because of the catastrophe (Nakba) in 1948.
On April 6, Alla shows her disdain for white people:
'Every damn time, without fail, there's news about Muslim women, everybody suddenly becomes an expert about Islam, Muslims, women in Islam, & Middle Eastern politics.
Here's a PSA: shut the fuck up.
Here's another PSA, esp to white ppl: stop trying to "liberate" or "save" us. Seriously, just quit. Everybody. You wanna help? Tell your damn governments and people to stop bombing our countries, end your imperialistic shit, and treat us as the human beings that we are who actually make decisions for ourselves. So sick of seeing all these people giving their irrelevant analysis every time a Muslim woman sneezes.
Just quit. I've run out of patience for ya'll.'
In November, she was in Illinois protesting to get illegal immigrants driver's licenses and she issued a warning to 'white people in suits'
We cannot keep allowing this president to just willy-nilly break the law and 'legalize' people we know nothing about. We need to screen them and we need to screen for more than criminal backgrounds (minus the three misdemeanors they are allowed to have).
No less guilty is the Supreme Court of the United States which found that illegal aliens cannot be held in detention for more than six months. We have a legal system that allows the cases to be tied up for longer than that and when their native country doesn't want them.
For example, we recently released just under 3,000 sex offenders who are here illegally because they were detained for longer than six months and there was no country to send them to.
The Department of Homeland Security, in their wisdom set these people free – let them loose on our streets. The US has made no effort to pull back financial aid to those countries who refuse to take back their own criminals.
Newsmax reported that these sex offenders are under some form of supervision with 5% not even registering as sex offenders. These people are anonymous. They disappear into society until they are re-arrested, putting our police, who already arrested them, in harm's way yet again.
The immigration bill made a stab at requiring assimilation by demanding illegal immigrants speak English, but there were loopholes, they spread out the pathway to citizenship over the course of 5 to 13 years, but there were loopholes, they did not deal with people who jumped visas except in a perfunctory way.
People who come to this country must be willing to adapt our values. There needs to be a strong work ethic, a firm commitment to our laws, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights.
When the signs to polling places have the word 'aqui' on them, it tells me that we are inviting people to vote who can't even communicate with us, much less value what we stand for. We make assumptions that they want what our country can afford but we don't differentiate the legitimate immigrants from those who come for entitlements or to start trouble.
New immigrants need to learn our history and subscribe to our beliefs and they need to prove it by being good citizens for a period of years. Alaa is not a good citizen. People who come here for entitlements or to destroy our values are not people we need – we are broke and our country has enough angry trouble makers.
Listen to Durbin's speech about his unvetted heroine, a symbol of DREAMers everywhere:

The Brazilian Ministry of Education has confirmed that progress has been made towards the goal of universal adult literacy. This is seen against the background of the recently-published UNESCO Report monitoring worldwide progress in this aspect. It measures progress of an international agreement which was made thre years ago when 164 countries committed themselves to achieve a range of targeted literacy and educational improvements by 2015.
The Brazilians admit for their part that not every goal of the multi-faceted deal might be met on time but strong progress, especially among teenagers, has been made. For example, 98.8 percent of 15 and 16 year olds are now acceptably literate.
On the other hand, 91.4% of everyone in Brazil between 15 and extreme age ejoys the same success.

Questions continue about writers and journals. Since it's a tool for your writing, it can be used in whatever manner helps you. Some writers simply keep a notebook to collect quotes, ideas, intriguing names, and record bits of dialog or scenes. I have one of those, too, which I take with me to the park, pool, and beach. Other writers think of a journal as a book with entries to collect thoughts and ideas or recollections.
Along with dwelling on the purpose and content of the journal, new writers ask me what kind of journal to use. Again, it's your personal preference. Whatever works for you.
Any notebook will do for your writer's journal. You can use a spiral notebook or composition book from the school supplies section at your favorite store or visit the bookstore for a selection of blank books. The variety is impressive, from lined or unlined sheets to various sizes (and
shapes). The important thing is that you feel comfortable with the book so you'll enjoy writing in it often.
You might even prefer to use your computer to journal. Many writing friends insist this is the best method because of the "search and find" features on most word processing programs. I prefer a portable, handwritten journal. If this is your choice, too, choose a writing instrument with as much care as the journal itself. Do you want to hear the scratching of a pencil or marker on the page or feel the glide of a gel-ink or fountain pen? I like the feel of smooth, thicker paper and the fast, flowing ink of a Roller Ball. But, I also prefer different colors to help me designate different days at a glance. The choice is yours.
Whichever method you choose, be sure to keep the first few pages blank. Record favorite writing exercises or prompts on those opening pages. You'll be able to quickly find writing prompts whenever you want to write during unexpected spare time. Each time you complete an exercise,
you'll gain something more from it. Draw from these completed exercises, just as you'll glean from experiences recorded in each journal entry in developing writing ideas.

The amazing depths the characters achieve along with the artistic story-telling make this a "perfect reality" and a dynamic experience. Everyone will relate to it.

I've decided after nearly three years that it's time to tweak my black and blue bruise of a blog. It's time to redecorate. So if you happen to pop in in the next hour or so and notice my color scheme in disarray, fret not. Since I know myself pretty well, I won't discount the idea that I may just say "screwitalltohell" and go back to the old colors, so if you pop back in tomorrow and everything is the same well, don't fret about that either.
We now return to your regularly scheduled afternoon, already in progress.
