The Bhagavadgita  Chapter XVII: The Yoga of the Division of the Threefold Faith.

1                    Arjuna said:  Those who, endowed with faith, worship the Devas, casting aside scriptural injunctions, where do they stand, Krsna, - in Sattva, Rajas, or Tamas?

2                    Sri Bhagavan said: That innate faith of men is of three kinds – Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic.  Hear about it from Me.

3                    Arjuna, the faith of each is shaped to his own mental constitution.  Faith constitutes the very being of man; therefore, whatever the nature of his faith, that verily he is.

4                    Men of a Sattvic disposition worship the gods; those of a Rajasic disposition worship Yaksas and Raksasas (demons); while others of a Tamasic disposition worship spirits and ghosts.

5                    Men who perform austere penance not enjoined by the scriptures, and are full of hypocrisy and egoism, and possessed of attachment, desire and pride of power,

6                    And who torment the aggregate of elements that constitute the body, and Me, who dwell in the inner body, known those ignorant people to be of demoniacal resolve.

7                    The food also, which is dear to all, (according to their respective nature) is of three kinds, even so sacrifice, penance and charity are of three kinds; hear their distinction as follows.

8                    Foods which promote longevity, intelligence, strength, health, happiness and delight, which are sweet, bland, nourishing and agreeable, are dear to the Sattvic type of men.

9                    Foods which are bitter, acid, salted, very hot, pungent, dry, burning and giving rise to pain, grief and illness are dear to the Rajasic type of men.

10               Food which is half-cooked, insipid, putrid, stale and polluted and also impure is dear to the Tamasic type of men.

11               The sacrifice, which is offered as enjoined by scriptural ordinance, by men having no desire for fruit, under the firm belief that it is a duty which must be performed, is the Sattvic type of sacrifice.

12               That sacrifice, however, which is offered with a view to fruit and also for the sake of ostentation, know it to be Rajasic, Arjuna.

13               That sacrifice is said to be Tamasic, which is without sanction of the scriptures, in which no food is distributed, no sacred formula is chanted, and no fees are paid (to the officiating priests), and which is devoid of faith.

14               The worship of gods, Brahmans, elders, and the wise, purity, straightness, continence and non-violence – these are called austerity of the body.

15               Unoffensive, truthful, agreeable and wholesome speech, and practice of study of the sacred texts and Japa of Divine Name – these are called austerity of speech.

16               Cheerfulness of mind, serenity, habit of meditation on God, self-control, and purity of heart – these are called austerity of the mind.

17               This threefold penance performed, with supreme faith, by Yogis having no desire for fruit is said to be Sattvic.

18               The penance which is performed with the object of winning respect, honour and worship, and for ostentation, which is unstable and transitory in effect, is said to be Rajasic.

19               The penance done under a deluded understanding with torture to the mind, senses and body, or with the object of causing injury to another, is said to be Tamasic.

20               The gift which is made to one who does nothing in return, with the idea that it is one’s duty to give, and with due regard to the place, time and recipient of the gift, is said to be Sattvic.

21               The gift, however, which is made in a grudging mood, with the object of getting some service in return, or with a view to gain, is said to be Rajasic.

22               The gift which is made at an improper place and time and in a disrespectful and insulting manner to undeserving persons is said to be Tamasic.

23               Om, Tat, Sat – this is declared to be the threefold designation of the Absolute.  At the beginning of creation, the Brahmans and the Vedas and sacrifices were created by it.

24               Therefore, acts of sacrifice, gift and penance as enjoined by the scriptures are always commenced with the utterance of the word ‘Om’ by those who are entitled to chant the Vedas.

25               With the idea that everything belongs to Him (Tat) the various acts of sacrifice, penance and gift are performed by the seekers of liberation without desiring any fruit in return.

26               The Divine Name “Sat” is employed in the sense of truth and goodness; even so, Arjuna, the term “Sat” is used in the sense of a praiseworthy act.

27               Steadfastness in sacrifice, penance and gift is also designated as “Sat”; and verily action for the sake of Him (the Supreme Being) is termed as “Sat”.

28               Arjuna, sacrifice, gift and penance, and any other action, done without faith, is declared as “Asat” (non-existent).  It is nought here or hereafter.

Thus, in the Upanisad sung by the Lord, the science of Brahma, the scripture on Yoga, the dialogue between Sri Krsna and Arjuna, ends the seventeenth chapter entitled “The Yoga of the Division of the Threefold Faith.”

Christmas Gift Guide 2013: *Part Four* For Avocado Lovers

Say avocado, avocado, avocado three times - are you smiling? Yup, they somehow magically make everything better. Like chocolate or pickles, they are incredibly addictive but much healthier. A few weeks ago I read that statistics show that every single person in today’s world probably knows someone who is utterly smitten with avocados. If that is true those 10 nifty little avocado gadgets will make Christmas shopping easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy for us all. Right?

So without further ado, here are 10 gift ideas for those moms who make avocado hair-masks from scratch; husbands who eat avocado toasts like it's their job; sisters who will take 2 different subways just to pick up the freshest avocados in town for dinner - and yourself, the nut who can't get enough of this pear-shaped green goodness. Le sigh! Here we go:

1. Fresh pod avocado keeper, ($7.39) - because sometimes a whole avocado it too much for one little person:) This way she can store it for later.

2. Beeswaxed organic muslin food wrap, ($17.95) - for the mom or sister who loves all things organic, reusable and anti-bacterial. Plus it will keep your avocado wonderfully fresh till dinner.

3. Avocado hand therapy cream, ($8 - $20) -  for the best friend who loves the smell of avocados and always complains that her hands are way too dry. This baby will do the trick!

4. Absolutely Avocados cookbook, ($15.39) - this gem will make any avocado fan freak out. It's that amazing! Plus, you can always be sure that an avocado dish will be served on the next dinner party:)

5. 3 in 1 avocado slicer tool, ($9.95) - it's magical and super nifty. What else would he want?

6. Avocado and olive oil triple milled soap, ($15) - to make her feel special during those early morning showers. The scent is incredibly stunning!

7. Avocado salt & pepper shakers, ($45) - because salt always tastes better from avocado-shaped shaker:)

8. Avocado apron, ($37.95) - to show the love.

9. Guacamole recipe print, ($30) - A stunning watercolour that will brighten her kitchen. Plus, guacamole is her favourite dip anyway:)

10. Fresh California avocado basket ($27.95 - $124.95) - so you can make him his favourite avocado toast with salt and olive oil every single day from now on.

Lovelies, what caught your eye? Do you like avocados? xo

Sleeping on Strangers on the Subway

Back in the day when Balazs and I used to be in a long distance relationship, I spent countless hours on planes and cabs. We used to fly to each other or meet somewhere half way just for a bit, a little time to have a dinner or a chat that didn’t involve holding a phone :)

Anyway, during that time I had a routine of catching up on my sleep during the flights and on countless occasions I might have snuggled unknowingly to a passenger or few next to me. Most of them didn’t mind or weren’t bothered I guess, since they never said anything. So when I spotted this video my heart melted. On October 21st this year a photo of a guy named Isaac went viral after he allowed a stranger to sleep on his shoulder for over half an hour. After spotting it, Charidy decided to see how many people would let a random person sleep on them. Here are the results, and the valuable lesson they learned. So if you have 2 minutes and 18 seconds to spare this morning, watch it! It will make you smile.

Psst: Would you let a stranger to sleep on you on the subway? Has anything like that ever happened to you?

P.S: On love.
P.P.S: Also, do you remember this sweet lesson on patience?

(Thanks Thelma)

exPress-o Film Club: Admission

Tuesday, November 26, 2013

Lovelies, have you seen Admission? What did you think? It’s a heart-warming comedy/drama with the ever amazing Tina Fey. It’s a story of second chances, change, hope, realization and happy ever after. It’s funny because I wasn’t sure if Tina can pull off a more serious role of a prestigious University admission officer who looks very put together on the surface but she’s incredibly vulnerable underneath - but despite my initial doubts, she nailed it! Also, the chemistry between her and Paul Rudd is full of fireworks. It’s one of those films I will surely re-watch over and over again. So if you are in the mood for some easy yet sweet watch that will make you rethink what’s really important in life, this film is totally for you:)

Bits and bobs:
- Paul Weitz directed this film and he also directed In Good Company and About a Boy.
- Yikey, awkward kissing - so hilarious:)
- Tina and Paul dish on Admission - so funny!
- Tina's newest hobby.
- Tina and Paul unscripted - oh yes!
- Here are 30 things you didn't know about Tina Fey.
- Paul Rudd prepping for Anchorman and some sexy talk:)
- Paul on Tina.
- A very sweet and so funny little video of Amy Poehler honoring Tina.
- Tina and the 2013 Golden Globes - genius!
- One of my favourite films with Paul was Anchorman and I can't wait for the new one. You?
- Do you remember him in Clueless?
- There is also Wallace Shawn, Michael Sheen and Lily Tomlin.
- A few of my favourite films with Tina are Baby Mama and Date Night (I've seen that one over 5 times already).
- Fancy knowing what Tina was doing at 25?
- Giggle!
- Paul on who and what makes him laugh + tons more.

P.S: And a few other films that rock my world right now.

Festive Fun With Bobby Pins

Last Wednesday I treated myself to a haircut and a scalp massage after months of growing out my bangs. It’s officially gone for now but I am positive, I will change my mind by next spring. Anyway, my hair is a lot shorter, but still considerably long, so I can play with different hairdos. I usually like unfussy solutions, so when I spotted this little triangle ‘do’ made totally out of simple bobby pins, I was sold and I wore it like it’s my job for most of last week. I even got a few compliments while out and about from total strangers. I also tried the 2 x-s' and tomorrow I am planning to ask my friend Sofia to help me make the chevron pattern for my low French bun as we are going for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner party to Balazs' work-friend. Ah, bobby pins, you are so darn awesome:) Would you try any of the bobby pins dos above?

P.S: Here are a few others you might like (the star tickles my fancy).
P.P.S: And more hair goodness including this messy French twist that I am planning to wear on Thursday:)

Are You Afraid To Fail?

The thing about us adults is that we are scared of failure. Kids just go for things with no fear whatsoever. If they don’t succeed, it’s really not a big deal to them. They just keep on trying. Remember those times? But when the teenage years hit, we get self-conscious, afraid to look unsure or uncool. And that’s when we stop trying as much, become more careful and more set in our ways. By the time we’re full-fledged adults, the word “new” can sound as scary as “defeat,” so we play it safe and stick to what we know instead of just breaking free like kids do. You know what they say, right? Kids truly hold the essence of life.

Well, this video will not only make your Monday morning wonderfully smiley but it will also prove that the statement above is true. Unstuck asked a bunch of kiddos a few questions about failing, like if they were afraid of it, what it means to fail and how to just go for it. It’s incredible how smart, factual and truthful they were. What are we so afraid of? I have no clue but I know one thing, next time I am faced even with the smallest challenge, I will take in on like the little boy in the grey tee and shake off that excessive worry and go for it like back in the day on that playground swing:)

P.S: I forgot my phone.
P.P.S: A sassy GIVEAWAY is coming up!

VC Blog Hop: Chock Full of Advice

What is the best advice you've ever received from a Trainer or another rider? What is the worse advice you've received from a Trainer or another rider?

The first time I rode Hobbs my trainer at the time told me not to try and change him.  She said he goes the way he goes, he knows his job and does it well.  I would need to adjust my riding style to him.  Very few people were able to ride him successfully due to this.  I listened to her and Hobbs and I had a successful career.  I learned to apply this to other horses though.  Why do we have to change them to fit the way we want to ride?  We should be adjusting our style to what makes them happy and brings out the best in our horse.

I have been thinking about this and nothing in particular stands out.  I have things I don't agree with that my trainer has said such as a horse's breeding doesn't matter. Or we may disagree on a horse ie she told me not to buy Poppy.  But I can't really think of worst advice. I can think way way back to my days of boarding and disagreed with BO's on horse care.  Advice is just part of this industry.  You ask 5 people the same question you get 5 answers.  You educate yourself and you make the best decision you can.  If it doesn't have the best outcome you learn from it for next time.

  1. Loving this blog hop question, hope to get my answers up tomorrow

  2. Really like your answer for 'worst'. I completely agree.

  3. I really like your worst answer about 5 ppl will give you 5 answers- so true!

Obtaining Justice

In a recent Article on, Jamilah Lemieux wrote a well thought out article on the miscarriage of justice to the detriment of black women, citing as evidence the recent much featured and talked about cases of the Gambian hotel maid against Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the case against Casey Anthony for the death of her daughter Caylee.

image credit: Dan4th
I cannot personally speak to the innocence or guilt of any of the two accused. In general, we hope that the jury that decides has made an informed decision, putting their prejudices aside and done what is best for their community.

In response to the article, I wrote:
This is not anyone's fault but our own. We allow ourselves to get side tracked by fast talking politicians with deep pocketed benefactors and loose morals. They in turn enforce the policies that make the treatment of black people and women in the US completely unfair - but guess what? Next election comes around, they're going to be harvesting votes like Monsanto on steriods and we will just have "more of the same".
If for once, just once in one small area of the US a politician who had no ties to some rich person trying to get richer was elected soley because he was interested in the needs of his community. Not just those who can fund his campaign, then this would wrap itself up very quickly. It would mean that the general public cannot be scared by words like "abortion", "homosexuality", "black man" (which literally translates to BIG black c**k - no I'm serious) and "lazy hispanics".
I don't see that day coming. Do you?
which I have been told has nothing to do with the article.

My response, I believe, has everything to do with the article. It is important to remember that the laws by which ALL of us are judged are a product of politics. Politics is the game of politicians. WE are responsible for choosing the politicians.

Even though we are all judged using the same laws, the carriage or miscarriage of justice by all involved parties, lawyers, jury and judge, varies greatly by skin tone. There is much evidence to support this.

The current situation of black people in America and the manner in which justice is carried out with relation to them is the direct responsibility of black America. Politics and justice are intricately linked which is why, to date, only one banker has been charged for the economic meltdown that has plunged America into a recession. The relationship between the two are the reason why Dominique Strauss-Kahn is going free. He is a prominent French politician, and whether you choose to believe it or not, this played a big part in carrying out justice.

So, if indeed politics and justice cannot be pried apart, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider that our vote would determine how justice is carried out with regard to ourselves? If we allow politicians to yell WOLF every time they wanted our vote and capitulate hoping that the big bad wolf will not get us, and yet in our heart of hearts we know that he will not take a second look at the injustice carried out towards black people, then we deserve everything we get.

We must realize that justice is in our hands every time we go to the polls to vote. That we cannot choose to be passive in politics, hoping that the general public will be outraged with us and rally around us. They voted in their favor, put the strong arm of $$ behind those they knew would further their cause and we MUST do the same if we expect things to change.

Ecological Monitoring and Biodiversity Assessment (EFB202) is the one of the keystone courses in the Environmental and Forest Biology curriculum. Students enrolled in this immersive course live at the Cranberry Lake Biological Station for three weeks. During the first two weeks of the course, students study a wide variety of taxonomic groups of organisms, and are introduced to a broad range of field, laboratory and analytical methods. Students then complete a group research project during the third and final week of the course. The research projects require proficiency in field sampling methods, basic experimental design and statistical analysis, and the ability to cooperatively solve problems.

The course culminates in a research symposium during which groups present their findings to their peers and a panel of judges. The top three research projects are recognized with the Shields Research Award, named after Dr. Bill Shields, a retired EFB faculty member who conducted many years of research at Cranberry Lake Biological Station.

First Place Shields Research Award: Camila Ferguson, Chloe Blaisdell, Sarah Lundy, and Michaela Tersmette

"Polyphemus pediculus survivorship in insect repellent treated water"

Second Place Shields Research Award: Ben Kosalek and Zach Davis

"The capacity for minnows to habituate to a chemical alarm signal without a predator"

Tasty, Traditional Italian Treats

Columns Foodie Fare

December 30, 2012

Story By: Christina O Connor | Photos by: Nathalie Walker

Romano’s Macaroni Grill has been wowing customers with its classic Italian dishes since opening in 2005 in Hookipa Terrace at Ala Moana Center. And it’s not just locals the restaurant has been impressing. If anything can speak to the quality of Macaroni Grill’s cuisine, it is the fact that Italians visiting the Islands have been known to frequent the restaurant.

“I had a family come in visiting from Italy for a week, and they came in four days out of that week to eat here,” recalls longtime staff member Sheldon Obra.

The restaurant’s cuisine, after all, is inspired by various regions in Italy. The menu features a wide range of appetizers, pizzas and flatbreads, pastas, and meat and fish entrees — all served in generous portions that are perfect for sharing.

As general manager Kunani Blake puts it, the restaurant constantly tries to stay on the cutting edge, often introducing new dishes.

“We like to try new and exciting things for our guests,” he says.

If you haven’t been to visit Macaroni Grill lately, you might be in for a surprise. The restaurant unveiled a set of new dishes last year, including Pasta di Mare ($22), a flavorful blend of scallops, mussels and shrimp flavored with white wine, pomodoro and garlic — all served over delectable fresh pasta.

Dishes made with fresh pasta have been one recent addition.

“The difference with fresh pasta is that it is a little more al dente,” Blake explains, “and it holds flavor well.”

One customer favorite has been Steak and Frites ($27), flavored with arugula pesto and Parmesan fries.

Macaroni Grill also offers a wide selection of salads, including Market Chop Salad ($15), which features roasted turkey, pepperoni, provolone, artichoke, balsamic vinaigrette and pumpkin seeds.

If you find all of these options a little overwhelming, then Mama’s Trio ($21) provides a perfect solution. The dish features three different items — chicken Parmesan, lasagna Bolognese and chicken cannelloni.

“It’s a hearty dish,” Blake says.

Macaroni Grill also is known to frequently offer a number of great deals. Ongoing promotions include Vino Thursday, where customers receive 25 percent off any bottle of wine all day. Happy hour runs every day from 3 to 6 p.m. and includes food deals such as pizzas for $7 and house wine and draft beers for $4. On Monday-Thursday, stop in from 4 to 6 p.m. for an unparalleled deal: The Primo Menu offers a three-course meal for just $25.

For diners who would like to enjoy their Italian treats at home or for parties, pick-up for family-style dishes that serve eight to 10 people is available.

On the Side

When Romano’s Macaroni Grill first opened in Ala Moana Center several years ago, there was a great deal of buzz surrounding it.

“It wasn’t uncommon for us to have a three-and-a-half hour wait at that time,” recalls Sheldon Obra, a staff member who has been at the restaurant since it opened. “It was insane.”

That might sound a little extreme, but the buzz certainly was understandable given Macaroni Grill’s successful track record.

The first Macaroni Grill restaurant opened in Texas, and has since expanded to include about 240 locations worldwide, including Germany, Puerto Rico, Dubai and Okinawa.

Not to mention the fact that excellence certainly seems to run in its genes, as its sister restaurant is the ever-popular Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

While customers luckily won’t encounter such long waits these days, excitement about the restaurant certainly hasn’t waned.

“I definitely like to think that our staff — and our food — bring our guests back again and again,” general manager Kunani Blake says.

Blake also attributes the restaurant’s success to its ability to continually evolve and improve.

“Macaroni Grill tries to keep moving and not be a stagnant company as far as redoing the menu and making other changes,” he says.

Just a year ago, in fact, the restaurant went through an overhaul — changing everything from its uniforms and plate wear to the menu, adding a number of fresh, light dishes.

“Corporate Macaroni Grill has a team of chefs that is constantly creating new dishes,” Obra adds, explaining that these chefs have travelled to Italy to search for inspiration and new flavors.

But much of Macaroni Grill’s charm can be found closer to home in its welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff.

“I think the restaurant has a nice, cozy, warm feeling,” Blake says. And while that warm feeling certainly is immediately apparent in the restaurant’s decor, it also extends to the welcoming attitude of the staff.

“We pride ourselves on great food and great service,” Blake says. “Those go hand in hand.”

At The End Of My Rainbow

At The End Of My Rainbow

Top post on, the community of Indian Bloggers

I have been running for ages and miles now. I am gasping, struggling to respire. They are clenching me hard by my arm. Not letting me move ahead. It’s dark and cold out here. I am in the middle of nowhere now. I see light at the end of the bay, stare hard, with eyes shut, crafting my options in my head.
My feet are cold, my head hurts a great deal. I am unable to move forward. I have to reach to the light. Stop impairing me, my heart is bleeding. “This is your only chance”, my brain yells at me. Pushing me hard to move ahead. I fall down again. Try to slither away.
Why don’t you go away? Why can’t you leave me alone? I ask the shadows, barring my course. I am drowning with them. In the deep hollow. It is dark and cold out here. I am in the middle of nowhere now. There is no water to swim, no air to imbue within. I break out of their grasp. Sprint, pound, whizz in double time.
I am at the end of the bay, touching the light. The brightness blinds my sight. I was unable to see then, I am unable to see now. The contrast creating ripples in my arteries. My heart racing vigorously, wanting to bounce out of my chest. I listen to the murmur but refuse to open my eyes.
I seem to have strayed too far to retrieve you. I search for you in my every breath. You are now at the end of the rainbow. You are smiling at me, waiting for me, spreading your arms. I rush towards you. I wish I had wings. I could glide my way then. I am yet to open my eyes though.
I am in your embrace. I feel your warmth. Sheltered and guarded, I open my eyes. You are smiling at me. “Good morning sweetheart!” You greet me, kissing my eyes. I smile back. I see the sun high in the sky. I close my eyes, yet again. “Let’s sleep for some more time” I say.
My soul lost in ecstasy. Serenades

Goblet of Fire Chapters 3-6

The Long Story

Sorry it's been so long since the last post. I have been doing my reading though. However, I haven't found much to comment on. During these 4 chapters, we get a lot of the author setting up the story. Since this book is such a long one, it would make sense that it takes longer to set up the story. In these chapters, Harry gets the invitation, goes to the Burrow, and takes a portkey to the Quidditch world cup. That's pretty well it.

Ok, I'm having a major ADD moment. As I'm sitting here thinking about what to say about this book, all that's going through my head is the awesome new clip from Deathly Hallows that I just saw:

I gotta say, I'm really really excited to see this movie. To answer your question, of course I'm going opening weekend. From what I've seen in interviews and such, this movie looks to be much different from the others. Nearly everything in part I takes place outside Hogwarts. I'm really glad they broke it into two parts. They'll be able to give the time and attention the finale deserves.

Back to the book. One thing I've been thinking about when I read this book is one memorable thing that happens at the end. I would talk about that when we get there, but by that time, I will probably forget what I was going to say about it, so I'm going to talk about it now. It's my blog... I can do what I want :) Recall that I talked about how the first death we experience in the series is that of Buckbeak. Well, we come to find out that Buckbeak didn't really die. At the end of Goblet of Fire, we get our first real death. This is the death that I think had the biggest shock factor up to this point. I really couldn't believe what I was reading. (Sorry to those who haven't read this book if I've spoiled anything.) Up to this point, it was really good story aimed at a young audience. Suddenly, the book is twice as thick and someone actually dies! My mind was blown. PEOPLE DON'T DIE IN KIDS BOOKS! This is why Old Yeller was so crappy. What is interesting about my reaction to this book is that it follows a lot of what Harry goes through. Harry's expectations about his world are turned upside down in this book. He's thrust into situations he's not ready for. It's like he knows that at some point he'd have to face difficult times, but he didn't expect to have to face them so soon. I felt the same way. I knew at some point, someone in the series was going to die, I just didn't think it would happen this soon and in this way.

Anyway, I'll try not to spoil any more of the book. Happy reading!

Discovery Dome Systems

Can a Discovery Dome system be used outdoors?

It is not recommended to set up a dome outdoors. There are no anchor points to secure the dome in place and wind gusts can cause the dome to move. Also, rain could potential cause water stains to develop on the interior surface. However, that being said, our Discovery Dome has been used with great success at many outdoor events in good weather, including on the White House lawn.

Can I play any DVD on the system?

Yes, however a standard 2D video was not produced to be shown in a fulldome theater so the image will be distorted when projected 360° in a dome. But by reducing the size of the playback window on the system computer, a very large image can be shown on the front –center portion of the dome without distortion. This also works for real time internet connections such as NASA broadcasts.

Do you offer an astronomy curriculum with your system?

YES! a 102-page manual comes with Stellarium with many activities.  Most of our shows come with educator guides.  And each dome system comes with a free copy of Space Update, our excellent museum display kiosk software that also has activities.  In addition, we have created FREE animations on the upcoming solar eclipse (link).  OPTIONAL with each system are educational clips on the phases of the moon, the tides, the seasons, created by Starlight productions ($600 for 3, $1050 for 6).

Do you help write grants to get funding for a system?

We can and will provide supporting data to include in your grant proposals but we do not actually provide assistance or have a template to follow.

Do you offer a payment plan?

No, however we do have contacts at a major national bank that could provide a loan.

Where can I see a dome system in operation?

We exhibit at numerous educational and industry trade conferences throughout the year and we can make arrangements to have you visit us at these shows. We occasionally conduct on-site demonstrations if there is a high likelihood of a system sale. It is best to contact our sales staff to explore the options.

Discovery Domes

Are Discovery Domes fireproof?

Our portable, inflatable Go-Domes™ conform to the highest U.S. standards possible for fire retardancy. The flame resistance certificate is available to read and download.

How many people are required to setup or break down a Discovery Dome?

Our portable, inflatable Go-Domes™ can be setup and taken down by a single person. Weights vary according to size and cloth type.

How long does it take to setup or break down a Discovery Domes system?

Set up time for a portable planetarium system is ~30-45 minutes. It takes ~20-30 minutes to take it down.

How tall are Discovery Domes?

Dome height depends on the diameter and the number of rings. See our product pages for Standard Go-Domes™, 2-Tube Go-Domes™, 5-Tube Go-Domes

How many people can fit in a dome?

Body size determines the audience capacity. In a 5 meter dome 35 second-grade students can comfortable fit inside; 45 in a 6 meter dome.

How much does the dome weigh?

We believe the Discovery Dome can easily be set up by one person, however the dome is the heaviest component. To avoid back injuries when loading and unloading the dome from a vehicle, it is recommended that the operator ask for assistance. The various sizes and weights of our domes are listed on the dome specification page.

Does MediaShow require a dual-screen or mirroring setup?

Either - your choice! MediaShow runs on either as a dual-screen setup with computer and projector or a single-screen computer setup mirroring to a projector.

Can MediaShow run on a touchscreen?

Yes, MediaShow can be used with a touchscreen.

Can MediaShow be used for normal (non-warped) content?

Yes. Non-warped content can be shown on the dome if you use the bump and zoom features of MediaShow to center your content on the front-lower portion of the dome to bounce off the flat part of the mirror. You can leave the background as black or use MediaShow to add a custom background image to display behind your media file. Examples are included in the installation sample buttonset.

Does MediaShow warp fisheye content in real-time?

No, MediaShow doesn't but FishTank does. Both are included in all full ePlanetarium systems

Philips Sells 24M Shares of LG Display

On March 12, Royal Philips Electronics NV announced that it had sold 6.7% or 24M shares of LG Display for net proceeds of around E680M. The company now holds just 13.2% stake at LGD, formerly known as LG.Philips LCD (LPL).

It is fitting that LG.Philips LCD changed its name to LG Display. Philips is no longer a meaningful player at LGD.
