Especially for feorag, who is celebrating a numerically important birthday, there is this delightful item from Portland, courtesy coffeeinhell. We non-Stumptowners cannot vote, but there is schwag.
Still monitoring Hurricane Ike. It's odd for me to have had NOAA on my bookmarks (I have my work laptop at the moment so personal bookmarks are at a minimum) before USGS "Did you feel that?". Part of my sleepnessness this week was, I am sure, excerbated by the fact that since Ike looked like it might be headed for Miami at one point, I googled up Hurricane Andrew, and got sucked into the details of the epic '04 and '05 seasons. Scary.

Forward, comrades, we need to go backward!
The personal struggle threatened to hijack the Socialist president’s efforts to woo business leaders with a promise to slash payroll charges by 30 billion euros ($40 billion) and trim another 50 billion euros from government spending by 2017. An economy that has barely grown in the past two years has contributed to Hollande’s popularity sliding to record lows.
As I said, it’s a sign of the haplessness of the European center-left. For four years, Europe has been in the grip of austerity fever, with mostly disastrous results; it’s telling that the current slight upturn is being hailed as if it were a policy triumph. Given the hardship these policies have inflicted, you might have expected left-of-center politicians to argue strenuously for a change in course. Yet everywhere in Europe, the center-left has at best (for example, in Britain) offered weak, halfhearted criticism, and often simply cringed in submission.
Meanwhile, the German president – who has no political power – asks why neoliberalism has such a bad reputation and recommends that we should embrace it. As if reality – real estate bubbles financed by mostly non-/under-regulated (shadow) banks in the US, Ireland and Spain – never happened. As if bankers were not bailed out while workers were. As if inequality has not been rising for the last thirty years. As if lower wages for workers are creating more jobs.
The magnitude of the intellectual failure of European so-called elites is breathtaking. Both on the left and the right. We are in 2014, with the sub-prime crisis dating from 2008, and still most of their minds have not moved an inch closer to reality. There are exceptions, and I will continue to try to mention the good politicians as much as I can.
The magnitude of the Intellectual failure of the European Elites has reached a point where even Martin Wolf this week wrote a whole column about it, in those terms: Faiing Elites Threaten Our Future.

Constitution Day – 17 Sep 2014: A Lesson from History. Is Being Born a Citizen (Citizen at/by Birth) of the United States of Sufficient Citizenship Status to be President of the United States and Commander in Chief of Our Military? The Founders and Framers Emphatically Decided … No, It Was Not!
During the process of developing a new U.S. Constitution Alexander Hamilton submitted a suggested draft for a Constitution on June 18, 1787. At some point, he also suggested to the framers a proposal for the qualification requirements in Article II as to the necessary Citizenship status for the office of President and Commander in Chief of the Military.
Many of the founders and framers had a fear of foreign influence on the person who would in the future be President of the United States since this particular office was singularly and uniquely powerful under the proposed new Constitution. The President was also to be the Commander in Chief of the military. This fear of foreign influence on a future President and Commander in Chief was particularly strongly felt by John Jay, who later became the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. He felt so strongly about the issue of potential foreign influence that he took it upon himself to draft a letter to General George Washington, the presiding officer of the Constitutional Convention, recommending/hinting that the framers should strengthen the Citizenship requirements. John Jay was an avid reader and proponent of natural law and particularly Vattel’s treatise on Natural Law and the Law of Nations. In his letter to Washington he said that the Citizenship requirement for the office of the commander of our armies should contain a “strong check” against foreign influence and he recommended to Washington that the command of the military be open only to a “natural born Citizen”. Thus Jay did not agree that simply being a “born Citizen” or “born a Citizen” was sufficient enough protection from foreign influence in the singular most powerful office in the new form of government. He wanted another adjective added to the eligibility clause, i.e., ‘natural’. And that word natural goes to the Citizenship status of one’s parents, both of them, when their child is born, as per natural law.
Hamilton’s proposed principles for a Constitution and a presidential citizenship eligibility requirement therein requiring that a Citizen simply had to be ‘born a Citizen’ of the USA, i.e., a Citizen by Birth. See Madison’s comment in his journal of the convention re this fact in which it reports as follows ” … Copy of a paper Communicated to J. M. by Col. Hamilton, about the close of the Convention in Philada. 1787, which he said delineated the Constitution which he would have wished to be proposed by the Convention: He had stated the principles of it in the course of the deliberations. …” — 3 Max Farrand, The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, at 619-630 (1911). But that citizenship status for who could be President was rejected by the framers as insufficient. Instead of allowing any person “born a citizen” to be President and Commander of the military, the framers chose to adopt the more stringent requirement recommended by John Jay via George Washington, i.e., requiring the Citizen to be a “natural born Citizen“, to block any chance of the person with foreign influence or allegiances or claims on their allegiance at birth from becoming President and Commander of the Military. No person having any foreign influence or claim of allegiance on them at birth could serve as a future President. The person must be a “natural born citizen” with unity of citizenship and sole allegiance to the United States at birth.

For the love of all things good; there is two things I don’t like: (1) unnecessary convoluted setups and (2) redoing work I’ve done earlier. SSL Certificates seem to combine both into one beautifully painful mess.
Create a folder (e.g. ./certs) and place the below config file (named config.cfg) into it.
That’s it. It will drop a `private.key` and `certificate.crt` into the previously created folder. It will also print the properties of the certificate into console so you can make sure the SANs are actually added.

One of the last visits to Brother Jean showed that he had such a hearty appetite and so we were all so grateful to our good Lord. Here you see him attempting to eat some food, and the papayas in the plastic container awaited his consumption too.
Notice the cranes of peace made by the students who showed appreciation to their teacher. Praise the Lord!
As the Feast of the Assumption draws near, it is apt to pay a little tribute to one of Mother Mary’s most faithful servants. Imagine how he wanted to get more and more people to pray the rosary – just one decade a day per person. He recruited more than seven thousand persons through the years. Praise God!
Would you believe that the Lord spoke loudly and clearly through the Gospel of St Matthew to me? And His words are true and worthy of praise! I just celebrated twenty years of service to our Lord!
I have been pondering over the matter of divine providence and our need to trust in God’s goodness all the time. A church friend I got to know on a casual basis owing to my being newly baptised then had just gone home to the Lord. She was summoned to eternal life at the age of 55, the age she retired from a job she had faithfully laboured at for some thirty years. In our short acquaintance I had the chance to know more about her. She was a cheerful gentle person and she was always helpful. I recalled asking her questions when I was so new to the practices in the Church and she was so kind to me. Later, we had made a short trip to Malaysia in a bus with many other parishioners. It so happened that we shared a room with another good friend of mine. The three of us got along well and we enjoyed our short trip visiting churches.
Then there was another pilgrimage being organised and this friend had planned to join in. It was a trip to Europe – a longer trip, certainly. But she never made it. The other pilgrims went and came back with stories to share, souvenirs to give away. . .
For reasons best known to our Lord, this friend of mine apparently had a severe headache, suffered a stroke and never came back to the Church again. She landed up in a Catholic home where she remained for the next nine years. In that time I paid her two visits but we never talked. I prayed and wished her well. Yes, my friend was in a coma, never to wake up to this world again. It seemed like she just fell into a deep sleep. She went in with a head full of black hair and when I saw her again the second time in the home, I must say that I had difficulty looking for her. My eyes searched the beds and finally I saw her. She was now much smaller in size and her hair had all turned white. Still she was at peace. I learnt that her communication was limited to tears and smiles. She was in the good hands of our God.
Last Friday I learnt that she had been summoned to go home to spend eternity in the room the Lord had prepared for her. This faithful servant is now at peace and I do believe that she smiles at us all. At her funeral today, the priest talked ahout her dignified and simple way. Yes, she remains in our minds a devoted child of God, caring and loving. A relative gave a eulogy and revealed further the kind of person she was to her loved ones. My name sake is now at peace, for dead or alive we belong to the Lord.
I would say that I was led to think more about the whole issue of divine providence. Can we ever outdo God in generosity? Never! Can we not trust His word that we are not to seek material things first but that His Kingdom must be top priority? Certainly!Here was a lady who went into a coma. She did not expect it at all. Did anyone know she was ever going to wake up from her coma? Did her colleagues or any of us in the Church know that it would be another nine years before she finally returned to her eternal reward? No. So, who has been taking care of her all these years? Who has seen to all her needs? She had no idea. She was just lying on her bed while nurses, care givers and family members took care of all her needs. She could not worry at all. She could not make known her requests. In her silence, she was just a great witness to all of us who are alive. She has shown us how deeply God has loved her and given her all that she needed. She was taken care of – material and spiritual needs.
Dead or alive, we belong to the Lord. What a consolation! When I reflected on this matter, I experienced an upsurge of faith. I was consoled with the affirmation received. I pray that many more people take heart and believe that God Who loved us so and sent His Son to save us is aware of all our needs. He knows what is best for each one. Can we begin to grow in trust? Can we begin to heed his words and live as children dependent on a loving Father Who will always provide for us? Yes, let us seek first His Kingdom and all else will be added unto us! May we persevere with hope. Yes, hope springs eternal in the human heart! This is so when the heart has God as Lord and King.

“Yes, I nailed it!” as a mum.
Most days I crawl into bed wondering how I could do better, counsel better, be more present, be more this or that.
I realised something about myself that took some of the guilt away.
I am not one for small talk.
In fact, my personality (INFJ) says that I yearn for solitude.
Small talk is one of my pet hates.
By thinking deeply and by working through complex and abstract thoughts.
Which is a large part of what matters to my son right now in this phase of his life.
Doesn’t make me a bad mum.
Do I try to act interested?
Do I make eye contact and nod and answer his questions?
But am I truly making a heart to heart connnection?
No, not in that moment.
Or enthralled at every word my child speaks to me.
It’s ok not to be ‘connected’ or present some of the times.
The point is, I am there.
I love them deeply and care for and show them in many ways.
They have a clean house to come home to.
They have a mother who is able to work at the same school and who gets to see them when other mums don’t have that chance.
They have a mum who is paving a way for their heritage, by leaving a legacy of song and word and strong demonstration.
And they always have somewhere they can run when life gets crazy or scary or too much.
But they also have a mum who is good at scratching their heads and wiping away their tears with tenderness.
My personality type makes up 1% of the population.
Yes, I know, I am a rare species.
And why my husband looks at me strangely sometimes.
Why don’t you see who you are.
The Advocate, Confidant and Protector.
I am a man and have white facial hair.
The personality test is attached below.
I’d love to hear who you are and what makes you tick as a mum.
I asked myself that question.
It was a few years ago.
And exquisitely change your life.
The first thing I realised was that there was only one me.
Be the best version of you?
I don’t know people think about this much.
We would be a whole lot more purposeful with how we spent this one life we’ve been entrusted with.
We would live lives of greatness and fullness and ascribe the value to them they deserve.
Which brings me to another truth I learned.
I learned how to value me.
This caused an unprecedented revelation of the worth and the value of the life I’d been given to live.
Which in turn gave me the permission and scope for the vision I needed to start dreaming big dreams and then put legs on those dreams.
I realised that my dreamer had been shut down many years ago.
I had let the moss and the overgrown thorny hedge grow over it like it no longer existed.
And I didn’t see myself as having dreams worthy of significance in the scheme of God’s world.
Causing a harvest in a circle much broader than merely my own tiny one.
Which is where I learned how to partner with God and His dreams for humanity.
Another thing I learned was to truly love myself.
I had always found this hard.
My history… Because I know that loving me for me is critical to a life well lived.
Or in comparing my life to anothers.
I realised that what I had been given was a gift and I took it with increasing gratitude.
Every day, every moment, every hour which turned into a week and a month and years.
And I noticed a beautiful thing begin to happen.
And I began giving and contributing and looking outward for opportunities to influence and give and share.
We encounter ‘intervals of possibility’.
Intervals of possibility are moments that bring dramatic change into our otherwise unsuspecting lives.
What legacy do we want to leave?
Am I being a faithful steward of every tiny little thing that God has put in my hands, including this once in a lifetime life of mine?
Or things I don’t place a value on.
Cultivating the gifts I have been given that God has called me to give voice to while I’m here.
Everything else crystallises in its wake.
You know without a doubt they will.
You know you were born for such a time as this.
And you start living the life you were always destined to live.

Stephen Robert co-founded Source of Hope to promote educational, occupational, and health initiatives to those in need of aid. With a global outreach, the organization works directly or in partnership with other charities to foster opportunities in the United States and abroad. With a mission statement of helping those in “desperate need,” Source of Hope provides necessary funds and develops programs such as the construction of aquifers, clinics, and educational facilities. The organization was established by Stephen Robert and his wife Pilar Crespi Robert and focuses on projects that advance the future of the communities it serves. A graduate of Brown University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Stephen Robert continues to work on behalf of the school. In recognition of his history of service, the Corporation of Brown University in 1988 elected him to the position of Chancellor. The position, which he held for nearly a decade, required him to oversee many of the university’s planning and development plans. He remains active in its activities as a member of the Board of Overseers of the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University. A former Director of Xerox and the NAC Reinsurance Corporation, Stephen Robert currently serves on the Board of Directors of the NEXAR Capital Group. Prior to his retirement in 2008, he held the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Renaissance Institutional Management LLC, an investment firm that advises high net-worth and institutional investment clients. For nearly 30 years, Stephen Robert worked at Oppenheimer and Company. He rose through the firm’s ranks from the position of Portfolio Manager of the Oppenheimer Fund to that of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In 1986, he participated in a management buyout that made him the principal owner of the 105-year-old Oppenheimer & Company. He stepped down from the post of Chairman and CEO in 1997 after selling the firm to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
Currently, Mr. Robert focuses much of his attention on Source of Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization he founded with his wife to provide aid to individuals in need around the world.
Stephen Robert’s career in finance has provided him the background necessary to report on the financial sector for a variety of leading publications. In 2010, Mr. Robert wrote a piece for Forbes Magazine entitled The Fed’s Japanese Mistake Kicks Working People in the Teeth. In the article, he offered his opinion about the Federal Reserve’s decision to drive down long-term interest rates while increasing inflationary expectations. Mr. Robert warned of the dangers such a policy could portend, and openly wondered how the nation’s top bank learned nothing from a similar circumstance involving Japan’s economy during the mid-1990s.
A political as well as a financial journalist, Stephen Robert wrote a piece for The Nation in 2011 that examined the political strife between Israel and Palestine. Having taken several pilgrimages to Israel, Mr. Robert discussed his uneasiness at witnessing the Israeli government’s treatment of the Palestinian people. He concluded his article by recommending a two-state solution, and by stating his hope that President Obama will lead an effort to unite the two warring groups. He again addressed this issue in an article he wrote for Israel’s oldest newspaper, Haaretz, called Can Moral Nations Abandon Palestine?
A member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Board of Overseers for the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University, Stephen Robert works to bring social issues to light and to find solutions for some of the most important problems facing America and the world. As a member of the Investment Committee of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, Stephen Robert helps raise awareness about public policy issues, including the United States’ response to the financial crisis and the massive growth of both national and personal debt.
Major media outlets such as Forbes.com, The Nation, The Periscope Post, and The Daily Beast frequently publish Mr. Robert’s views on various issues relating to domestic and foreign policy. He often compares the downturn of the U.S. economy to that of Japan in the 1990s, urging America not to repeat Japan’s mistakes. Stephen Robert’s article “Apartheid on Steroids,” describing his concerns about human rights abuses stemming from the continuous conflict between Israel and Palestine, appeared in The Nation in August 2011.
The founder of Source of Hope Foundation with his wife, Pilar Crespi Robert, Stephen Robert promotes a holistic approach to supplying sustainable resources, including micro-lending, better health care, nutritious food, clean water, and a basic education, to poverty-stricken areas of the world. Reaching out to the world’s desperately poor populations, Source of Hope provides aid in Ethiopia, Malawi, Uganda, Palestine, Haiti, and other people in need, including underserved residents of New York City. In New York, Stephen Robert and Source of Hope support Henry Street Settlement, a social service agency that provides a broad range of programs to more than 60,000 residents of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Joining Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. in 1968 as a Portfolio Manager, Stephen Robert worked his way up through the company, becoming President in 1979, Chairman and CEO in 1983, and the principal owner by 1986. After selling the firm in 1997, Mr. Robert spent three years as Chairman and CEO of Renaissance Institutional Management LLC. The Brown University graduate has also served as Chancellor, Fellow, or Trustee of the university since 1984.
Journalist, business executive, and philanthropist Stephen Robert’s distinguished career has included a number of prominent positions with leading financial and academic institutions. Mr. Robert joined Oppenheimer & Co., one of the world’s leading investment banks, in 1968 as a Portfolio Manager, and quickly rose to become the company’s President by 1979. In 1983, he took over the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and, through a management buyout, Mr. Robert became the bank’s principal owner in 1986.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has put out for consultation a ban on junk food adverts on tubes, buses and Overground trains run by TFL. This is because 40% of 10 to 11 year olds are overweight. It is to target foods that are high in fats, salt and sugar. The are the foods responsible for childhood obesity and it predisposes in later life to diseases such as heart attacks, high blood pressure and Type II Diabetes. Jamie Oliver was happy at the news because he has been campaigning for better nutrition in school meals and Take-away shops.

“On Friday, as new unemployment figures painted a newly troubling portrait of the American economy, (the president) was vacationing in aNew England paradise.
This is a paraphrased version of what was printed in The New York Times about the president’s visit to Martha’s Vineyard. Here is the original version.
“On Friday, as new unemployment figures painted a newly troubling portrait of the American economy, Mr. Bush placed himself in the same scenes–golfing and fishing in a New England paradise–that once caused his father electoral grief.
Funny… a little bit disrespectful… but funny!
Between Chris Matthews’ tingling leg and anything Keith Olbermann says, it has become obvious that MSNBC is not as much a news outlet as it is a purveyor of a political agenda. I wonder if they’re getting paid with TARP funds?
This recent episode shows they are willing to deceive and fabricate racial discord from whole cloth.
Watch this “news item” about guns at an Obama appearance.
Gosh, they sure crop that image of the man with the gun really close, don’t they. Wonder why they don’t show the “white racist” who would bring a semi-automatic to a presidential townhall? They show other men’s faces. I mean, this guy must be one mean dude to carry such a powerful gun, so you would think they would want to show him off to prove their point, right?
Now look at the picture of the man carrying the gun.
If you think the good folks at MSNBC were unaware of the man’s race, you are much more gullible altruistic than I am.
So, who are the racists here? MSNBC for fomenting racial hatred with false facts, or people who legally carry guns?
I wonder why everyone else in the photo is in t-shirts and shorts, but this man is in a long sleeved shirt and long pants?
I’m sure it wasn’t a setup so someone could get a picture of him carrying that gun at a presidential appearance. But if it was, those long sleeves sure would help with the cropping.
I was listening to a guest host on the radio yesterday, Mark Steyn. He made an interesting point about the left and choice. They are all in favor of it when it comes to abortion, reproductive rights, privacy, fallopial rights and uteri.
But, when it comes to purchasing health care insurance for yourself – no choice.
When it comes to purchasing health care insurance for your employees – no choice!
When it comes to driving a “green” car – no choice.
When it comes to using trans-fats – no choice.
When it comes to speaking your mind in a townhall meeting – no choice (some times).
When it comes to apologizing for the nature of our country – no choice!
There are some things you should never mention. Comparing the inefficient postal service to profitable private enterprise would probably be one of them if you are trying to convince Americans to turn their healthcare over to the government.
How could anyone better encapsulate the concerns Americans have about government run health care?
He should have taken his TelePrompTers with him.
Now they mock him. While not direct criticism, it is more devastating.
When the Community Organizer in Chief and his supporters complain because the other side is better organized, you know the winds of change are in the air.
DISSENT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF PATRIOTI- . . . No, wait, that bumper sticker expired January 20. Under the stimulus bill, there’s a new $1.3 trillion bills-for-bumpers program whereby, if you peel off old slogans now recognized as environmentally harmful (“QUESTION AUTHORITY”), you can trade them in for a new “CELEBRATE CONFORMITY” sticker, complete with a holographic image of President Obama that never takes his eyes off you.
“The right-wing extremist Republican base is back!” warns the Democratic National Committee. These right-wing extremists have been given their marching orders by their masters: They’ve been directed to show up at “thousands of events,” told to “organize,” “knock on doors” . . .
No, wait. My mistake. That’s the email I got from Mitch Stewart, Director of “Organizing for America” at BarackObama.com. But that’s the good kind of “organizing.” Obama’s a community organizer. We’re the community. He organizes us. What part of that don’t you get?
When the community starts organizing against the organizer, the whole rigmarole goes to hell. Not that these extremists showing up at town-hall meetings are real members of the “community.” Have you noticed how tailored they are?… Sen. Barbara Boxer has denounced dissenters from Obama’s health-care proposals as too “well-dressed” to be genuine. Only the emperor has new clothes. Everyone knows that.
While the above videos are about health care reform (or health insurance reform, or just plain health reform (the White House keeps changing its terminology du jour) (and what in the heck is “health reform” anyway? gonna make me sick if I’m not already?) ) this post is really to call your attention to the new governmental request that you rat out your neighbor, comrade.
Seriously, I’d rather have not included it just because SIX MINUTES LONG! But really, about the first two minutes are banter between a member of the press corps and Dumbo (hey, HE is the one who thinks his ears are big, it’s in the video), so you can skip forward to the 2 minute mark if you want (but you may miss the ear insecurity). Anyway, if you watch the whole video, listen carefully to what he is saying. And remember this very important word: SUBTEXT.
So, watch the first two videos and listen to what he has been saying for years, and then watch the White House video and listen to what he is saying now, and really? They aren’t all that inconsistent (how many times does he use the word “if” when speaking about private health insurance?). The White House just thinks we’re too stupid to see it.
But, we’re not. At least, I’m not.
So, there you go. I’ve blogged negatively on the web about President Obama and his ideas on health care reform. Lucky for you, the White House has set up its official snitch line. Go ahead. Be a stooge. Report me.
Then, if Obama makes it into a second term, sit back, relax, and watch history begin repeating itself (speaking of long, you’ll want to scroll down and start with the quote about Moshe the Beadle).

Future Trails, our community engagement process, began in the fall of 2017 and continued through the fall of 2018. Community members were invited through a variety of means, including postcards mailed to all residents and personal invitations from committee members knocking on doors.
Unlike traditional, one-way communication efforts, the cornerstone of Future Trails is the value it places on people through participatory, grassroots involvement and community-based planning. Everyone who was interested had a voice in the process. By taking an active role, all residents helped create solutions to the challenges ahead and assisted in crafting a plan to address the District’s facility challenges.
Below you can follow our community journey in reverse chronological order.
Future Trails will continue in the 2018-2019 school year by hosting Options Forums to provide River Trails School District’s residents the opportunity to learn more about the District’s facility challenges, potential options, and to provide feedback regarding those options. Everyone in the community is encouraged to participate in this special public engagement initiative.

Below is information from our prior Community Engagement events. Feel free to review in order to gain a historical knowledge of all the information shared.
Starting with our first two meetings on November 6th and December 4th, all community members are invited to participate in our community engagement workshop meetings. Each meeting will take place in the River Trails Middle School cafeteria from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. While informational presentations will be made at each meeting, the key focus will be providing all participants with the opportunity to roll up sleeves and work collaboratively with neighbors on reaching consensus on decisions that will improve our schools.
The focus is to help guide the direction of the District for the next several years and to insure our District continues to fully meet the needs of all students.
Please view the informational flyers below from our Community Engagement Meetings and see what went on during those meetings.
Our April 30th meeting went Facebook Live at: https://www.facebook.com/RTSD26/ and after the presentation an online google survey was made available. The survey will be open till May 7th.. Let your voice be heard!
During Dr. Silverman's presentation at the January 30th meeting, he shared this informative video with interesting facts about the digital world our kids are experiencing more and more each day.

more hair than his father.
(perhaps best not to mention its name) but the food is good.
reflected in a shop window.
open-toed sandals with black socks.
of women above a certain age.
all the buses, all the posters, all the signs.
tells me to look after myself.
of a bomb factory in the vicinity.
a brown, bedraggled, teddy bear.
except where you saw blue I saw green.
Little by little, as practice made me more accustomed to visiting the cave, to finding the stepping stones and to conversing with the beautiful fairy, I became more able to find, and to operate out of, a particular space.
A space where I am just in the moment, a space where time stands still, a space where the past and the future have vanished and there is only the now. A space where I am in touch with the core of my being, where I respond without troubling my conscious mind. A space where I have complete trust that whatever I say or do is okay.
When I am operating out of that space the voices of my inner critics are silent because they do not exist in that space. There is no concept of success or failure there because whatever is in the now is whatever is and therefore cannot be right or wrong.
In particular the voice which would have me not try is silent. That voice would persuade me not to try for fear that I would fail or be rejected. The logic of that voice is impeccable yet flawed. It is not failure I am afraid of; rather it is success.
I have failed many times before and therefore it is not to be feared. However success will often result in a step into the unknown which is, in itself, frightening. Success too raises expectation levels – I have succeeded once, I can succeed again.
These doubting voices do not exist in the now. But I must be wary of their desire to re-visit those occasions when I have been there and cast their critical eye over them. They seek to delude and undermine. They use phrases like “not perfect” and “could have done better” which I do well not to listen to. The reality is that, if I have operated out of the now, I will have performed to the best of my ability at that point in time and I must learn to trust that is so.
Oh, I can study and I can learn and I can fine-tune. And, for sure, the more I learn about the core of who is me the more likely it is that coming from the now will result in behaviour in line with who I am.
We must study, in particular, how we can reach that space. We will have been there many times. Sometimes we will have arrived there without appearing to try and only realise we have been there after we have come back. Sometimes we will have got there apparently by accident, catching ourselves by surprise.
We must be prepared to reflect on these occasions, to teach ourselves how we can do that. The effort will be worthwhile because operating out of that space will always leave us feeling at peace with ourselves.
I must give the time and energy to the innermost circle. Its position, at the centre of the rings, demands that.
I must take the time to get to know me, to understand me, to nurture and look after me and to take the risk of loving me.
That process has revealed that within the innermost circle reside large numbers of disparate parts of me. At times these parts can appear to be in conflict. For example, my desire to help others and my need to look after myself can often find themselves at variance.
I am prepared to accept as a premise that each of these parts has my best interests at heart, even though at times it may appear that they are out to destroy me.
There are other hypotheses, but I am adopting this one because, over time, it has proven the most useful.
What has become clear is that it is lack of communication between parts which leads to confusion, bewilderment and uncertainty. And one part operating on its own, convinced it is right, and refusing to listen to input from other parts will inevitably cause disaster.
I must open up lines of communication.
Parts which are running rampant must be assured that I do appreciate they have good intentions, but I must ask them to take the time to consider other options, other information, to be prepared to consider the fuller picture. I must reassure parts which feel neglected, undervalued, under appreciated that I do heed their words, that I do consider their opinion important and that I am willing to listen to them.
I must invite all parts into the kitchen where there is a range glowing warmly on one side of the room, where there is a bottomless teapot on its top, where there is the smell of freshly baking bread and where there is a large, solid wooden table, seemingly marked by generations of use, in the centre of the room.
I must invite them all to sit round the table, to partake in bread and tea and conversation.
Gradually, as the warmth and camaraderie of the kitchen table works its magic we begin to find a harmony and discuss an interdependent, mutually satisfactory wholeness. Gradually there emerges openness, trust and honesty. Each part is encouraged to discuss its intentions, its reasons, its approach and by co-operating we create unity.
The strength of one part becomes available for use by others. Parts with enormous energy, drive, enthusiasm and determination, when persuaded to use those attributes for the benefit of us all, become useful members of the community. The more gentle, reflective parts, when confident they will be listened to, provide a balance, a solace, a comfort and a direction.
And, as long as the kitchen remains an attractive place, other parts, of whose existence I was unaware, will emerge, blinking in the light. Sometimes we have to work quite hard to merge them with the whole, but we must do that because their contribution will be valuable.
I must work to maintain the atmosphere, the ambience of the kitchen. If the fire in the range does not get stoked, if the bread does not get baked, if the butter does not get churned it will become a cold and uninviting place.
I must do the work because it is only in the environs of the kitchen and around its table that the sense of wholeness, of completeness and of unity can be maintained.

Fall is a great time of year to get outside and play. The summer heat has subsided and you can revel in the crisp autumn air. One advantage of outdoor fall activities is that they can be so fun and exhilarating you’ll barely notice that you’re getting exercise. And they’re a great way to model an active lifestyle to your kids or grandkids while spending some quality time together.
Here are five ideas for activities that will get the whole family moving.
Why it’s good: Bending your legs, moving your arms, and scooping up leaves is a great way to get your heart pumping. It also builds strength in your legs, core, shoulders, and arms.
Keep it safe: Practice proper raking posture to prevent injury, especially to the low back: Keep one foot slightly forward and bend at the knees, keeping your back flat. This way your leg muscles will take the brunt of the weight, not your back. To avoid overuse on one side of the body, switch arms every 10 minutes or so.
Make it kid friendly: Create a little competition. See who can make the biggest pile of leaves; the winner gets a prize. After you’ve got a few piles set up, let the kids jump in!
Why it’s good: The park is full of swings, jungle gyms, walking paths, and open fields so you’re sure to get a good workout no matter what you want to do.
Keep it safe: Pack a healthy lunch, some energy-boosting snacks (such as apple slices with nut butter or hummus with carrots and whole-grain crackers), and plenty of water. Even though the weather is cooler, you still need to keep well hydrated.
Make it kid-friendly: Play follow the leader: Take turns being the “coach” and order each other through activities like marches, forward lunges, side steps, and jumping jacks. Or set up an obstacle course with cones, using the jungle gym as the main event.
Why it’s good: Participating in a charity race shows your children or grandchildren the value of keeping fit and giving back to society. Local 5Ks (short for 5 kilometers, or about 3.3 miles) tend to be abundant in fall, including around Thanksgiving, when many communities host “Turkey Trots” and similar events.
Keep it safe: Dress in layers. The first should be made of moisture-wicking fabric to wick sweat away from your skin. The next layer should focus on insulation, to help you retain heat by trapping air close to your body. If the day is gray and wet, add a windbreaker or lightweight rain shell on top to protect you from the elements.
Make it kid-friendly: If your family isn’t active already, start building endurance a few weeks before. Begin leisurely walking a few blocks, adding a little more distance each time you hit the road. Post your progress on a chart on the refrigerator so everyone can countdown to the big event.
Why it’s good. Spending time walking in natural settings can benefit both your mental state and your physical health, research shows. And fresh apples are a rich, portable source of nutrients and fiber, plus a delicious addition to many fall dishes.
Keep it safe: Slather sunscreen on exposed skin. Even on a cloudy autumn day, the sun can still do damage. And be sure to rinse apples before eating them, to prevent exposure to bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.
Make it kid-friendly: Have kids separate apples by color. And make a game out of finding apples with no wormholes.
Why it’s good: New models arrive in the stores as the summer riding season wraps up. You’re more likely to get a good deal when stores are trying to get rid of old inventory. Biking as a family is a great way to connect with nature and each other.
Keep it safe: Make sure everyone wears a helmet, whatever their age. The helmet should sit level on the head and about 1 to 2 finger-widths above the eyebrow. It should fit snugly and not rock or slide in any direction. The side straps should form a V under and slightly in front of each ear. Chin straps should be buckled and allow room for no more than 1 to 2 fingers between the chin and strap.
Make it kid-friendly: Make fun the goal—not speed, distance, or perfect technique. That might mean frequent stops for a snack, water break, sight-seeing, or even just some time to rest your bottom.

PURPOSE: To enable outputting present position data even when only two dimensional measurement is possible, by calculating according to the GPS measurement data output for two dimensional position measurement based on this and a relative elevation data.
CONSTITUTION: A GPS receiver 11 receives a wave from the GPS satellite and outputs a GPS measurement data DG including latitude, longitude and height. A barometric height meter 13 outputs a relative height data Z2 corresponding to the height difference between the present position and a standard position. A controller 14 having a present position data output part 15 outputs the present position data based on the data DG when the receiver 11 can do three dimensional measurement. If only two dimensional measurement is possible, the present position data DPOS is outputted by obtaining the absolute height data based on that data and data Z2. The controller 14 matches this a map data M read out of a CD-ROM drive 16, and indicates the self-car position on a display 17.

The Dodgers should know, since they haven’t been there for 29 years. That’s the biggest gap in the franchise’s history, even more than the 26 years from 1890-1916 when they went from being nicknamed the Bridegrooms to the Grooms back to the Bridgerooms to the Superbas to the Dodgers back to the Superbas to the Robins.
Following that, being nicknamed the Dodgers for the ability to avoid streetcars, of which there are none in Los Angeles, doesn’t seem as bad as being called the Jazz in Utah, where there isn’t much.
The just-ended drought was longer than the Dodgers’ Series absence from 1921-1940, when Roger Kahn, who later authored The Boys of Summer about Dodgers teams that regularly did go to the Series, came of age. At least in 1933, after 40-some years of vacillation, the team changed its name from Robins to Dodgers and never changed again, even as it moved 3,000 miles away from Brooklyn.
Since the Dodgers were last in a World Series, they’re had four Cy Young winners, an MVP, six Rookies of the Year, nine managers, five owners or ownership groups, eight GMs and 11 playoff appearances.
But no pennants (maybe it didn’t help that three of the Cy Youngs and the MVP were won by Clayton Kershaw).
That’s quite a truancy for a team with so much money to spend and so many fans interested in their well-being. Watching the Dodgers try to get back to the World Series over the last 29 years has been like watching a bound man try to escape. It seemed the more they struggled, the more they became entangled in their own mess.
In the Dodgers’ 10 failed postseason attempts to return to the World Series, teams which played to a .560 percentage in the regular season played to a .373 percentage (22-37) in the postseason and were swept three times. Eight of those teams won division titles, seven won more than 90 games, all were graced with talent.
The Dodgers, like a patient going to the doctor because of an ailment for which there’s no apparent cause, couldn’t identify what was wrong.
None of the common remedies — get a new manager, get a new GM, spend more money, spend less money, trade the star, get more stars — seemed to work, though the Dodgers tried them all.
It’s one of the beautiful vagaries of baseball that it took Enrique Hernandez, a lifetime .236 hitter with 28 homers in four seasons, to hit three in Game 5 and slug the Dodgers back to the Series when Mike Piazza, Shawn Green, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Kent, Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez and Manny Ramirez couldn’t.
It’s also fitting. The Dodgers hired Andrew Friedman away from the Rays after the 2014 season, and he merged a big-market mentality with a small-market common sense.
Yes, the Dodgers have the highest-paid starting pitcher in baseball in Clayton Kershaw ($35.6 million this year) and the second-highest-paid reliever in Kenley Jansen (five years, $80 million). And, yes, they’re paying $40 million to two players (Adrian Gonzalez and Scott Kazmir) unable to perform this postseason because of injury, and another $21 million to Carl Crawford, who they released last year.
That’s nearly three-quarters of what the Brewers, who nearly made the playoffs, paid their entire roster for 2017.
But the Dodgers also acquired Chris Taylor, who hit 21 homers and played five positions, last year from the Mariners for a player the latter has already cut; they signed Justin Turner, who hit .322 and slugged .530, when the Mets, who have needed a third baseman for most of their existence, let him go as a free agent; they signed Brandon Morrow (2.06 ERA, .454 OPS against), who had pitched 82.1 innings the previous three seasons, as a free agent when most teams thought he couldn’t keep healthy for a season, let alone remain effective for one.
Those are the kind of astute moves you don’t need a lot of financing to pull off.
And two months after Friedman was hired the Dodgers acquired Hernandez from the Marlins. Hernandez has batted .205 in 513 at-bats over the last two years but the Dodgers, like a good boss assessing a problem employee, focus on what he can do and emphasize that. Against lefties in his career, Hernandez is batting .270 and slugging .518 with an .883 OPS, and like Taylor, he plays multiple positions, seven of them this year.
Hernandez batted cleanup in Game 2 against Lester, a lefty, and it wasn’t by lottery. He was sixth in the lineup Thursday against Jose Quintana, another lefty, and he drove in seven runs — one fewer than the Cubs scored in five games.
It wasn’t Hernandez’s three homers Thursday that were surprising; it was the one off righty Hector Rondon (then again, Rondon faced 12 batters this postseason and gave up five hits and two homers. Maybe it wasn’t that shocking). Whenever CC Sabathia or Dallas Keuchel pitch in the World Series, Hernandez will be in the Dodgers’ lineup.
That’s the lesson of this Dodgers team. In Game 2 Hernandez walked and flied out. When his spot in the lineup was due a third time, the bases were loaded and Lester had thrown 103 pitches. Cubs manager Joe Maddon felt compelled to replace him with his second-best reliever — damning with faint praise as it is — Carl Edwards, a righty.
With Lester gone, Hernandez, batting cleanup, was, too. The Dodgers will arrive at the World Series Tuesday because they’ve generally identified what their players can do, and not asked them to do what they’re not good at.
ALCS: Which trend do you believe? The last time the Yankees lost the first two games of a playoff series and won three straight at home was the 2001 World Series. The Diamondbacks, a team like the Astros with a history of little postseason success, returned home and won in seven. Score one for the Astros. But after every pennant the Indians have won (1920, when they beat the Brooklyn Robins in the Series; 1948, 1954, 1995, 1997 and 2016) the Yankees won the pennant the next year. Score one for the Yankees. The Astros are fortunate there is a Game 6. They’ve been outscored in the series, 21-9, outhomered, 5-1, and their bullpen has a 6.17 ERA, which is a 9.38 ERA if you take out Colin McHugh’s four mopup innings of an 8-1 Game 3. The Astros led MLB in runs scored and were second in homers in the regular season, but that hasn’t been in evidence this series. They’re batting .147, slugging .213 and their three veteran offseason acquisitions — Carlos Beltran, Brian McCann and Josh Reddick — are a combined 1-for-39. All that leadership isn’t worth much when you’re not hitting.

George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is the 43rd and current President of the United States of America, inaugurated on January 20, 2001, and the eldest son of former United States President George H. W. Bush. George W. Bush was elected president in the 2000 general election and re-elected in 2004. Previously, he had served as the 47th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000.
Bush worked in his family’s oil businesses following college. In 1978, he made an unsuccessful run for the U.S. House of Representatives. He later co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team before returning to politics in a campaign for Governor of Texas. He defeated Ann Richards and was elected Governor of Texas in 1994.
Bush won the presidency in 2000 as the Republican candidate in a close and controversial contest. Bush narrowly lost the nationwide popular vote. The Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore stopped a recount in Florida, preserved Bush’s 537-vote margin in the state, giving him the winning number of electoral votes.
As President, Bush pushed through a $1.3 trillion tax cut program and the No Child Left Behind Act and has also pushed for socially conservative efforts such as the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and faith-based welfare initiatives.
After the attacks on September 11, 2001, Bush declared a global War on Terrorism and ordered an invasion of Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban, destroy Al-Qaeda and to capture Osama bin Laden in October 2001. In March 2003, Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq, asserting that Iraq was in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1441 and that the war was necessary for the protection of the United States.
Running as a self-described “war president” in the midst of the Iraq War, Bush won re-election in 2004; his presidential campaign against Senator John Kerry was successful despite controversy over Bush’s prosecution of the Iraq War and his handling of the economy. After his re-election, Bush received increasingly heated criticism, even from former allies. His domestic popularity has decreased since the 2004 election.
Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Bush was the first child of George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush. Bush was raised in Midland and Houston, Texas, with his four siblings, Jeb, Neil, Marvin, and Dorothy. Another younger sister, Robin, died in 1953 at the age of three from leukemia. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a U.S. Senator from Connecticut, and his father served as U.S. President from 1989 to 1993.
Bush is sometimes referred to informally as George Bush Jr. in order to distinguish him from his father. However, because the son’s full name is not exactly the same as his father’s (the younger is George Walker Bush as opposed to the elder George Herbert Walker Bush), the “Jr.” is incorrect.
Bush attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts where he played baseball, but made a more significant mark as an effective head cheerleader at the all-boys school during his senior year. Following in his father’s footsteps, Bush attended Yale University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1968. As a college senior, Bush became a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society. By his own characterization, Bush was an average student.
In May of 1968, at the height of the ongoing Vietnam War, Bush was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard despite there being a national waiting list of over 100,000 for the N.G. and only scoring 25 percent on the pilot’s aptitude test, which was the lowest acceptable passing grade . After training, he was assigned to duty in Houston, flying Convair F-102s out of Ellington Air Force Base. Critics have alleged that Bush was favorably treated during his time of service due to his father’s political standing and that he was irregular in attendance. Bush took a transfer to the Alabama Air National Guard in 1972 to work on a Republican senate campaign, and in 1974 he obtained permission to end his six-year service obligation six months early to attend Harvard Business School.
There are a number of accounts of substance abuse and otherwise disorderly conduct by Bush from this time. Bush has admitted to drinking “too much” in those years and described this period of his life as his “nomadic” period of “irresponsible youth”. On September 4, 1976, at the age of 30, Bush was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his family’s summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. He pleaded guilty, was fined $150, and had his driver’s license suspended until 1978 in Maine.
After obtaining an MBA from Harvard University, Bush entered the oil industry in Texas. In 1977, he was introduced by friends to Laura Welch, a schoolteacher and librarian. They married and settled in Midland, Texas. Bush left his family’s Episcopal Church to join his wife’s United Methodist Church.
In 1978, Bush ran for the U.S. House of Representatives from the 19th Congressional District of Texas. His opponent Kent Hance portrayed Bush as being out of touch with rural Texans; Bush lost by 6,000 votes. Bush returned to the oil industry, becoming a senior partner or chief executive officer of several ventures, such as Arbusto Energy, Spectrum 7, and, later, Harken Energy. These ventures suffered from the general decline of oil prices in the 1980s that had affected the industry and the regional economy. Additionally, questions of possible insider trading involving Harken have arisen, though the SEC’s investigation of Bush concluded that he did not have enough insider information before his stock sale to warrant a case.
Bush moved with his family to Washington, D.C. in 1988, to work on his father’s campaign for the U.S. presidency.
Returning to Texas, Bush purchased a share in the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in April 1989, where he served as managing general partner for five years. Bush presided over the trading away of Sammy Sosa, who would go on to be a popular and prodigious home run hitter for the Chicago Cubs. Bush actively led the team’s projects and regularly attended its games, often choosing to sit in the open stands with fans. The sale of Bush’s share in the Rangers brought him over $15 million from his initial $800,000 investment.
Bush declared his candidacy for the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election as his brother, Jeb, sought the governorship of Florida. Winning the Republican primary easily, Bush faced incumbent Governor Ann Richards, a popular Democrat who was considered the favorite.
Bush was aided by several political advisors, including Karen Hughes, John Allbaugh, and Karl Rove. The Bush campaign was criticized for allegedly using controversial methods to disparage Richards. Following an impressive performance in the debates, however, Bush’s popularity grew. He won with 52 percent against Richards’ 47 percent.
As governor, Bush successfully sponsored legislation for tort reform, increased education funding, set higher standards for schools, and reformed the criminal justice system. Under his leadership, Texas executed a record 152 prisoners. Bush used a budget surplus to push through a $2 billion tax-cut plan, the largest in Texas history, which cemented Bush’s credentials as a pro-business fiscal conservative.
In 1998, Bush won re-election in a landslide victory with nearly 69 percent of the vote. Within a year, he had decided to seek the Republican nomination for the presidency.

So amazingly, it’s been about a year and a half since I moved into my apartment in the city, and for the most part, it’s been great! Aside from a few blips on the radar–the drug addict neighbor next door, my alcoholic neighbor downstairs, and the general vibe that I’m living in a half-way house/an AA meeting site– there are a lot of things I love about my apartment and the surrounding neighborhood. Of course, number one is still the proximity to the subway, followed in close second by my non-working fireplace and crown moldings. Aesthetics are important to me!
My lease was running out at the beginning of the month, so a few weeks ago I sent my landlord an email asking him about the possibility of renewing. I’ve heard horror stories of rents being raised through the roof and was dreading the possibility that I’d be hunting for another apartment. I finally finished decorating this place…I was loathe to think about packing up all my throw pillows and decorative pottery for a new one! So when my landlord got back to me and asked me to call him later that night, I spent the rest of the day coming up with a list of reasons why he shouldn’t be asking for more rent. Two reasons, “Everyone that lives here is an alcoholic and nobody ever takes the trash out!” may have been near the top….
But not even 30 seconds into our conversation, my landlord said he’d be happy to have me renew and would only be raising the rent a mere $25! I was so relieved that it wasn’t $500, I said yes immediately and was off the phone in less than five minutes! So another year in the city it is! To celebrate, I think I’ll pour myself a drink! I’m fitting in here after all!

We immediately notice two unusual things about this icon. First, George is holding a sword instead of the usual lance. Second, his lance is shown broken in the dragon’s mouth, and the dragon has been decapitated by the sword. All the other elements are common — the rearing horse, the rescued princess in the background, the angel presenting him with the leafy crown of victory, and the hand of God blessing out of heaven.
This icon is locally known as Ἁγιος Γεοργιος ὁ Τραγοπιαστες /Hagios Georgios ho Tragopiastes, meaning loosely “Holy George the Goat-getter.” The story is that a man became ill, and promised St. George a good goat if the saint would cure him. The man recovered, and a small kid from the herd was selected to be given to George when grown. Unfortunately, that particular kid gradually grew to be the best of the herd, and when the time came to give it to George, the man thought another goat would do as well, so he picked a different (and less striking) goat as the donation to the saint. But when he got to the church with it, he found the “best” goat already there with the priest, so St. George had gotten his goat, and the man lost the best of his herd to the saint.
The spelling is a bit off — he uses o for ω, but such things are common in Greek inscriptions, which are often phonetic. Note the Greek letters used as numbers in the date.
Swords — in Greek-speaking-region icons — are generally found in icons of military saints fighting other men, and those icons appear to have influenced the painting of this George variant, though the victim here is a dragon, not a man.

Amen! Moderates are hoping for the best but heading for the hills during the next three months or join you under the rock. Got room?
Yes, The Light that shows us everything that is visible (and invisible). The Light that guides us safely away from peril (seen and unseen).
I need to stand in This Light, too, Emily – to cleanse me from all that you cite here that I have been exposed to for the past weeks – and even longer before that, when the present evil was in the making.
What we have been witnessing via our ever-present media is a giant mirror reflecting what we have become as individuals and as the nation, the ‘grand experiment’ that was once the envy of the world. What is happening to us? I fear that I already know the answer to that.
But there IS hope, there is always hope if we but seek The Light of the World to penetrate our souls, cleanse us from the evil that has overcome us, give us new eyes to see what is right and just, and set us on the straight path again.

The Gateway Motorway (M2 to Eight Mile Plains and M1 to Pine River) is a major tolled motorway in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia which includes the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges (former Gateway Bridge). The motorway is operated by toll road operator Transurban.
It bypasses Brisbane in order to provide easier access between the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. It runs from the M2 Logan Motorway in Drewvale (near Browns Plains) to the Gympie Arterial Road in Bald Hills. At the interchange with the Pacific Motorway at Eight Mile Plains (Pacific Motorway exit 16), its original terminus pre-1997, the route number changes from M2 (Logan Motorway - Pacific Motorway) to M1 (Pacific Motorway - Bruce Highway (Gympie Arterial Road)). The Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges are part of the Gateway Motorway and the Motorway provides access to the Port of Brisbane, Brisbane Airport and Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
The motorway was constructed to connect the then-recently opened Gateway Bridge to the Bruce Highway in the north and the Pacific Motorway in the south. Construction on the road commenced in March 1985 and it was opened to traffic in four stages between August and December 1986.
Originally, the route was called the Gateway Arterial Road because the road was not at motorway status, the road passing through three large roundabouts north of the Brisbane River. Therefore, to cope with the heavy traffic, the government began upgrading the road in 1987. Duplication to four lanes and grade-separation was completed in several stages between 1989 and 1996.
In 1995, construction began on a southern extension to the Logan Motorway, creating the Southern Brisbane Bypass. The road was opened to traffic by Vaughan Johnson, then-Minister for Transport and Main Roads, on 13 May 1997. Following this work, the road was renamed Gateway Motorway.
In 2007, construction began on the Gateway Upgrade Project, which duplicated the Gateway Bridge, added a deviation between Eagle Farm and Nudgee and upgraded the motorway south of the river. The duplicate Gateway Bridge was opened on 24 May 2010 and both bridges were renamed the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges. The original bridge was refurbished to match the new structure and was finished on 28 November 2010. The northern deviation was routed east from its old alignment (the old alignment is now named Southern Cross Way) and added a second access road, Moreton Drive, to Brisbane Airport. The deviation opened on 19 July 2009 whilst Moreton Drive opened on 3 December 2009. South of the bridges, the motorway was expanded to 9 lanes up to the Wynnum Road interchange, and 8 lanes to the Old Cleveland Road interchange. From that point the motorway is six lanes up to the Pacific Motorway Merge. The upgrades between Lytton Road and Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road were completed on 28 January 2010, while the final stage between Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road and Pacific Motorway (also the final stage of the entire Gateway Motorway Upgrade) was opened to traffic on 30 July 2011.
Upon its original opening, the road did not have a route number. However it gained the Metroad 1 shield in March 1994, before being replaced with M1 in 2005. Manual toll booths were removed and replaced with electronic toll gates (which require vehicles to have a transponder attached to the windscreen) in 2010.
1986 - Gateway Bridge and associated approach roads (Lytton Road to Airport Drive) officially opened by QLD Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen on 11 January 1986.
1986 - Stage 1 Gateway Arterial Road (Airport Drive to Toombul Road). Two-lane arterial road and extension of Toombul Road officially opened by Federal Minister for Transport Peter Morris on 8 August 1986.
1986 - Stage 2 Gateway Arterial Road (Depot Road to Bruce Highway). Two-lane arterial road and connections to Deagon Deviation officially opened by Minister for Main Roads and Racing Russ Hinze on 17 October 1986.
1986 - Stage 3 Gateway Arterial Road (South-East Freeway to Lytton Road). Two-lane arterial road officially opened by Minister for Main Roads and Racing Russ Hinze on 17 November 1986.
1986 - Stage 4 Gateway Arterial Road (Toombul Road to Depot Road). Two-lane arterial road and extension of Bicentennial Road officially opened by Minister for Main Roads and Racing Russ Hinze on 11 December 1986.
1989 - Airport Drive to Cannery Drain duplication. Duplication to four lanes officially commissioned by Deputy Premier and Minister for Main Roads Bill Gunn on 26 July 1989.
1991 - Cannery Drain to Bicentennial Road duplication and Bulimba Viaduct duplication. Duplication of two sections to four lanes and Nudgee Road interchange concurrently commissioned by Federal Minister for Transport Bob Brown on 19 September 1991.
1992 - Old Cleveland Road interchange. Overpass bridges officially opened by Federal Minister for Transport Bob Brown on 4 February 1992.
1992 - Bicentennial Road to Depot Road duplication. Duplication to four lanes commissioned by Federal Minister for Transport Bob Brown on 3 December 1992.
1993 - Bicentennial Road interchange. Overpass bridges officially opened by Federal Minister for Transport Bob Brown on 12 February 1993.
1993 - Toombul Road interchange. Four-lane overpass bridge officially opened by MP Wayne Swan on 25 October 1993.
1993 - Miles Platting Road to Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road duplication. Duplication to four lanes completed in November 1993.
1995 - Miles Platting Road interchange. Completed January 1995.
1996 - Depot Road to Bruce Highway duplication. Duplication to four lanes and southbound Deagon Deviation overpass completed April 1996.
1997 - Southern Brisbane Bypass (South-East Freeway-Logan Motorway). Southerly extension of Gateway Motorway officially opened by Minister for Main Roads Vaughan Johnson on 13 May 1997.
The kilometres shown below are subject to change as upgrades to the road are implemented. The entire motorway is in the City of Brisbane local government area.
Southern Cross Way is a 7 kilometres (4.3 mi), 4 lane motorway which branches from the Gateway Motorway at Eagle Farm before merging back with it at Nudgee. Prior to 2010, Southern Cross Way formed part of the Gateway Motorway before the Gateway Upgrade Project constructed a shorter route (and additional Brisbane Airport access road, Moreton Drive), between those two suburbs. The old, longer motorway section was preserved, connected to the deviation and renamed Southern Cross Way, after the aircraft flown by aviator Charles Kingford Smith, to allow motorists to distinguish between the routes. Southern Cross Way (also colloquially called the 'Old Gateway Motorway') thus follows the previous alignment of the Gateway Motorway between Eagle Farm and Nudgee and has three exits.
The entire motorway is in the City of Brisbane local government area.

Earlier this year I was invited to contribute to an anthology of horror drabbles Kevin Kennedy was putting together. A drabble is a 100-word story. No more, no less. You can find my contribution elsewhere on this blog. The antho was a huge success, and I thoroughly enjoyed branching out into another form of writing. I enjoyed it so much I’ve knocked out a few more drabbles (and even a few dribbles). My Tormentor was included in The Horror Tree’s Trembling With Fear, and here’s a new and exclusive one. Just for you.
Derek was nervous. As he settled into the chair he flicked on the desktop monitor and scanned the office. People were looking at him and whispering. Or was he just being paranoid?
Maybe that would satisfy their curiosity.

L.A.'s historic South Broadway theater district in the 1940s.
The Orpheum was a particularly apropos choice for “The Artist” to re-create silent movie premieres. The theater opened its doors in 1926, and was a showcase for not only silent films – for another year or so, until talkies revolutionized the movie business – but also live musical and vaudeville acts. Many performers saw their careers launched at the Orpheum, including a pre-Wizard of Oz Judy Garland (still known as Francis Gumm back then).
The Los Angeles Theater grand opening in 1931 for "City Lights"
The Los Angeles Theater was used for the premiere of George Valentin’s final flop. Maybe it is an apropos choice too, as its grand opening in 1931 hosted the premiere of Charlie Chaplin’s “City Lights”. Chaplin and his films were cited by “The Artist” director Michel Hazanavicius as inspirations.
The Orpheum and the Los Angeles (as well as the nearby Palace) were saved from the wrecking ball in recent times, and gloriously restored. The historic Wilshire Ebell Theater also doubled as an auction house in the movie.
What about those palatial homes shown in the film? Real houses – with real historical significance! Two residences on Franklin Place in L.A. were used – Peppy’s house was really actress Mary Pickford’s house during the late teens (1917-1919, give or take a year) when she was secretly dating actor Douglas Fairbanks – to whom she was later married.
Busby Berkeley bought Villa Guasti in 1937.
Also shown was Hollywood musical maestro Busby Berkeley’s mansion on 3500 W. Adams Blvd. in Los Angeles. Some may know it also as Villa Guasti – the name of the family who commissioned its construction in 1909-1913.
The lavish Bradbury Building (circa 1893) – another restored masterpiece in downtown L.A. – was the site of the movie’s “Kinograph Studios”. The building has been used as a movie set before – notably in “Chinatown”.
Exterior shots were mostly filmed in the Greater Wilshire/Hancock Park area, west of downtown Los Angeles. Want some specific addresses? Try Oakwood Ave. between Beverly Blvd. and Melrose Ave.; Hudson Ave., near the Wilshire Country Club, between 3rd St. and Beverly.
The restaurant scene? Shot inside Cicada’s, on Olive St., in downtown L.A.
Various exterior shots using monolithic, non-descript buildings were actually shot at a Southern California Edison (the local power company) Art Deco-era building near downtown L.A.
And what about that scene of the famous “Hollywoodland” sign? “CGI,” answers Mr. Hazanavicius.
The “land” part of the iconic sign, erected in 1923 for an intended 18-month period, was removed in 1949.
Got more questions about locations in “The Artist”? Let me know; I’ll try to answer them.
I recognized Cicada right away – what a great location. And I’ve always wanted to go into the Bradbury Building, but they rope off the entrance and you can’t enter unless you work there.
Patrick, if you go on the weekends you can enter the building, but they just don’t allow you to go upstairs or in the elevators. I have been in there several times.
Thanks for the list.I was so sure I’d seen some Pasadena locations..but maybe not.
I saw some of what I thought was Glendale, because of the street lights. But apparently Hancock Park had the same street light supplier!
am looking for an exterior shot of the the home of george valentin in the artist. can anyone help? thank you.
The home is located at 104 Fremont Place West, in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles. It’s a gated community of very exclusive homes. #104 is “a chateau style residence built in 1930 by Charles J. Wild, owner of a metal casting company. The home cost over $300,000 to construct. Elmer Gray was the architect. Paul J. Howard designed the grounds and gardens with interior decorations and furnishings by John B. Hortzclaw,” according to a historical society’s accounting of Fremont Place homes. It was also used as a location in “The Kid” (2000).
Jerry, great information. Do you know the location of the restaurant where Peppy was giving the interview which George overheard?
The restaurant scenes were all supposedly shot in Cicada’s in downtown LA. Check out http://www.cicadarestaurant.com/ to see their photo gallery. It certainly “looks the part”.
The Bradbury Building also got a part in Wolf (Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer), playing the publishing company where Nicholson works, He walks into a door in Manhattan and miraculously winds up in LA.
I been inside (at, coincidentally, a book biz party). It’s FAABulous.
loved the movie and love and recognized several of the scenes. There are some though that i was almost certain were shot in the universal backlot area. The street layout, the buildings and background matched to a few of the sets in the lower tram route. Am i mistaken?
You are correct, but I could not cite specific locations.
I’m interested in the gate at Kinograph studios. It reminded me of the old Paramount gate on Bronson. Was that intended – or am I remembering another gate?
Your memory serves you well!
The one brief interior scene of an elaborate theater staircase looked so much like the interior of the Stanley Theater in Utica, NY that I must ask where that scene was actually shot.
All the theaters used were reportedly in downtown Los Angeles. One of the premiere scenes, however, looked like a set to me.
The Bradbury building was also used in the final scene of Blade Runner..once you recognize the metal grills, youll see the interior in many many more movie sets..they have a website, i recommend checking it out, it will tell you alot of the movies it was used as a backdrop..
The Bradbury Building was also used in many tv series shots, more particularly Banyon starring Robert Forster, the actor that played the bail bondsmen in Jackie Browne..you will also see it in the Janet Jackson video, Rhythm Nation..the guy that built the building was a mining mogul, had a mine in Mexico, and it was a real labor of love for him..and, for a smallish building, he spared no expense on the interior, a so called Italian Renaissance style architecture..
When did production/filming of The Artist actually begin ?
I will have to double-check that, but I thought it was the fall of 2010.
Paramount and Warner Bros were definitely used, as well as other locations that have not been specifically mentioned. I think you are correct, however, about the white bungalows.
Dear Jerry …. first of all – A huge THANK YOU for assembling this – I just saw the film – Day after the Oscars .. and I recognized so many of the locations .. and full of questions .. many of which have been answered. (Very grateful for that.) I lived in the Beachwood Canyon section of the Hollywood Hills for years … and in the scene in which you say … they used CGI to make up the “Hollywoodland” sign … Question: Is the entire hill, with the whole sign all CGI? And picked a street that resembled a Hollywood Hills street? Or did they pick a street that did have the Hollywood sign in the background … and just CGIed the “land” bit in? I’m curious if they used Beachwood Road, or Ledgewood Drive, or Durand Drive. There are actually so many sections and pieces of road, with the hill in the background …. That even after 11 years living in the area … I can’t spot the section of road they may have filmed.
Thanks for your kind words. I’m traveling now, and don’t have access to the book I am thinking about, but I think it is called L.A. Then & Now, where they show locations around L.A. from the ’20s, ’30s, ’40s and ’50s. And then they take a picture in the same area today (or when the book was written – which must be 10 years or so ago, by now). There is a shot in there of someone coming down that winding road Peppy’s bus came down, with the Hollywoodland sign in the background. I could swear they have re-created that scene. Or something very close to it. But I would say most all of the mountain has been CGI’d into that shot. Sorry I can’t confirm the street, but believe it was in the old Beachwood Village area.
I just saw the movie The Artist. Where was the film location of the entrance to the hospital? It looked familiar, like my old high school in Monrovia, Calif, where many movies are made.
Virtually all the scenes were shot on L.A.’s westside.
Not sure is this info has been posted here yet, but the building used as the hospital was the Warner Bros Building on the American Film Institute campus in Los Feliz. The address is 2021 North Western Avenue.
I visited the Bradbury building when I was in LA … the security man was happy for me to take pictures, with the proviso that I only went to the top of the first flight of stairs. Outside there is a small info plaque on the street light post that gives some info on the movies shot there.
That’s good to know. Thanks! I’d like to see that.
This site was wonderful thank you very much for all the information. We went to see the movie today and it was great. With seeing the movie and then viewing your information we saw a lots of places we saw in the movie.
Thanks! It is surprising – and wonderful – how much of “old Hollywood” still exists! The film makers were brilliant in finding and using the historic places.
A lot was On the Paramount New York backlot as well.
Thank you! Although I loved “The Descendants”, I thought “The Artist” was a landmark film and more deserving of all the Oscars. I wish more people would have seen it. But I guess the people who understand cinema, and care passionately about it, did!
Do you know anything about the interior shots of peppys house. Thanks jerry.
I was told the interiors of Peppy’s house were the actual Mary Pickford house (exterior shots in the movie were the same house). Miss Bejo said the bed shown in the movie was Miss Pickford’s actual bed. The DVD is now out, however, and there is supposed to be a detailed segment on filming locations. Maybe they will have better info.
Not sure if this info has made it to this post: George Valentin’s Duplex, the one that caught fire, can be found at 4056 West 21st Street in Los Angeles.

Athens, Ohio, home to Jackie O’s Pub and Brewery and this is a look at their Chomolungma Honey Nut Brown. Say what? This is an American Brown Ale that comes in at 6.5% ABV and 33 IBU and happened to catch my eye on one of my recent beer runs. For those that know Jackie O’s, they know they make some good beers and I am looking forward to see if this one follows suit.
It is often fun to check out some of the things being done with stouts and the Back Home Gingerbread Stout from Golden Road Brewing wasn’t much different. This stout comes in at an 8.5% ABV and pretty much packs the Christmas holiday in a glass. Notes open up nicely featuring cinnamon, nutmeg, and other flavors along with the chocolate coming from the malt. It is one that can also easily be cellared for a bit. Two hops and come together with 5 malts for this one and despite the 45 IBU, bitterness is not much of an issue especially if you let it warm a little. Not too bad from this Los Angeles Brewer, and check out the video to gather my other thoughts.
Most of you know my fondness for IPA beers, and this Imperial IPA from Lagunitas Brewing is just another reason why. Hop Stoopid is an Imperial IPA that comes in at 8% ABV and 102, yes 102 IBU. But despite the high IBU level, it is matched very well with the malts to create a fantastic and wonderful balance. This is one to be enjoyed for sure and check out the video to see and hear my other thoughts on this, what I would call fantastic beer.
Wild Hunt from Christian Moerlein Brewing is a limited Black IPA that seems to have been released in limited availability and finding it proved to be a nice surprise. Although I had a couple of issues with the labeling of it, the beer itself was a pleasant surprise for sure. This 6% ABV Black IPA had a nice balance of the malts and the hops which pulled the beer together nicely. Check out my video here to see and hear my other thoughts on this Cascadian ale.
From time to time I like to enjoy a sour ale, and for this review I decided to look at the Tell-Tale Tart from Boulevard Brewing which is located in the “Show Me” state of Missouri. This 6.2% ABV and 10 IBU ale does bring some nice flavor and tartness which of course is to be expected, but it also adds a nice mellowing effect on the palate that provides a nicer finish than expected.

Fifteen-year-old computer whiz-kid Rod "Blue" VanBluer is scared stiff -- the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Division suspects him of causing an airliner crash.
Blue and his pal Jason stole into Denver's abandoned airport control tower to play with the Air Traffic Control computers. Both figured there’s nothing like a real control tower to play Air Force fighter pilots. After succeeding in hooking up a favorite combat flight game to real flight simulators close by, things go terribly wrong when a commercial airliner is drawn off course in the early morning hours. As they walk home after playing all night, the boys hear the explosion of the crash, but have no idea their playtime may have caused the plane to go down in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, the very place the US Government stores deadly Sarin nerve gasses.
Watching the coverage of the accident on the evening news, Blue fears the simple computer game he programmed is the reason. But the bigger worry is the two men he saw in the concourse days earlier, cold hard cash had exchanged hands. Could they be to blame for the crash?
The FBI finds Blue’s computer, suspects his game is responsible and contacts his parents. Blue wants desperately to clear his name but neither he, nor his Father, believe the crash was caused by a simple computer game – Blue wants to know the real reason the airliner went down on the wrong runway at the wrong airport. Problem is, Blue fears for his life because at least one of the men he saw in the concourse has figured out where he lives.

Oh my. I just went through the business of looking at how many books I’ve read that none of you have heard about. I repeat: oh my.
This will prove to be a challenge. So, dear readers, I’m going to tackle this in the most nonsensical way I can: without a plan.
Wish me luck. My ramblings will soon be open to the public, so to speak.

Web hosting. Two words that absolutely confused me until two days ago when I started registering the Grand Stag Studios’ website. At first, I considered using Weebly.com before changing over to Godaddy.com. However, domains are a totally different monster. I was fortunate enough to be the first person to register grandstagstudios.com but not everyone might be so lucky. Think of website domains as real estate.
If you keep the idea of real estate in mind, think of https://whois.net/ as the zillow.com of web domains/URL’s.
I also cannot encourage you enough to just flat out purchase your website domain. I think I managed to net my professional website domain for under $30. I also got an SEO plan, hosting, and e-commerce feature for under $20 a month on Godaddy.com. A similar plan with Weebly would run me $30 a month with a 3% fee for every transaction using the website’s e-commerce feature. Obviously, you have to do some “shopping around” to find the most cost-efficient and best fit for you.

There is a saying that the Elliot Institute uses which I find to be so true, it says that many women are "socially aborted" before they ever step foot into a clinic. Threats of rejection by boyfriends, spouses, family members, and friends are often the motivating factors in making the decision to abort.
Thoughts and fear of abandonment and alienation by loved ones, often too painful to bear, make it seem easier to choose between those familiar and an unborn child never seen, or it may cause the belief that the child does not even exist yet. But, the reality of abortion often sets in, with birthdays never celebrated, hugs never were given or received, anniversary dates, and an ever-present void filled with guilt, shame, and grief.
Social abortion, however, does not end with the death of the unborn child. As “OK” as abortion is supposed to be, it carries a stigma. No one likes to speak of it unless it is in broad terms. Objection to abortion itself and the personal pain of abortion is avoided like the plague. People are just not comfortable with it. Everyone knows inside their hearts that the life of an innocent has been taken.
I have gotten into “discussions” with well-meaning prolifers who feel the need to remind those of us who are post abortive of the severity of our sin. I have seen the use of saying such as “abortion is homicide," and “abortion is murder” do more harm than good. Many find it condemning and judgmental. I have been chided for speaking out against it, being told to be careful, I will “turn some pro lifers off." Little regard is given to the souls those words are killing.
The prevalent message seems to be “we know better than you… let us do this.” I have come to find that is not true. The aborting of women by both sides is just as lethal, perhaps even more so, because it kills the soul, the life source to living in heaven.
A 15-year-old who called herself “Freaky Ally” wrote to me once. She was distraught over an abortion her mother made her have. I kept thinking of Ally seeing the shirt “abortion is homicide." I think it would be enough to send her over the edge. No one needs to remind her she killed her child. She lives with it each day. It is her baby that she will never hold in this life.
I have also been told that it is not the responsibility of pro lifers to guard speech for post-abortive people and that they need to proclaim the evil of abortion. Perhaps they need to be reminded of the sheer magnitude of people abortion effects. Everyone knows someone, everyone is touched, the post abortive are everywhere. While the evil of abortion always needs to be proclaimed, the way in which it is needs to be reevaluated.
The killing of life can come in all forms. Although abortion can never be justified and is always wrong, the killing of hope or the life of a soul is also offensive to God. Perhaps before passing judgment on others, we need to look at who we are aborting in our hearts.
If you or someone you know is hurting from a past abortion, there is hope. There is healing.

Wow. I was all ready to post these pictures last night but I fell asleep while I was uploading them and woke up at 3 AM. Woops.
I have had a weird week and didn’t shoot any photos at all. Fortunately Inked Magazine got me out of the house and had me shoot the benefit party for Matty No Times from Three Kings Tattoo who had a liver transplant recently. The party was only a few blocks from me at Union Pool in Brooklyn and it was completely packed despite the bitter cold. It was so packed in fact that it was extremely hard to take any pictures. I shot over 100 photos and ended up with about 25 usable ones which is well below my normal average. Still, it was awesome to see so many people come out an support especially with a $10 cover. You seriously could not move a muscle. Gospel, Drunk Driver and Tournament played the show and had their merch sales go to Matty as well. It was a pretty impressive show of support.
I hope Matty is doing well and hopefully the money raised will go a long way. Click here to see the outtakes from the party. Some of the best photos will be in an upcoming issue of Inked.

Murmers of a Wandering Soul | …50 something wondering wanderer of this amazing experience….
…50 something wondering wanderer of this amazing experience….
It has certainly been a while, life seems to get in the way of many things as earth is spinning faster and faster around her axle. Business has become the new buzz and go to word and we seem to all get trapped in the cycle, work, survive, create, laugh, eat, play, sleep and the week is gone.
A new hobby, more of a way to de-stress and balance my daily life with numbers and papers, has provided unforeseen opportunities for, not only personal growth and learning new abilities that have been hidden for many, many years, but a way to extend a hand and form a circle of like minded souls. I started playing around with clay, moulding and shaping miniature houses, flowers, and this all as a result of starting to fill my space with fairy gardens. Well, the clay has remained, adding wood, pebbles, driftwood, feathers and basically anything that catches my eye.
I am so grateful for the blessings received through this new hobby and the unexpected opportunities brought as gifts along the way.
May we all find our little thing that sets our souls on fire, balances the books and energies and still let us carry on with our crazy busy day and life and being.
This year came along with challenges beyond what we expected from a new year… I hear the same refrain from people from all walks of life. Challenges both emotionally and spiritually, seems to be the theme for 2018. Shaking our foundations and leaving us gasping for breath and balance whilst trying to just make it through another day.
I took a few days from life in general and found peace, quiet, energy and synergy nestled in a small town called McGregor at the Temenos Retreat. Settling into my cottage, trying to adjust my hurry time to Temenos time, I wandered through the garden, sitting quietly next to bubbling waters, listening to the bird life and just breathing and breathing to still my mind and let go and be at peace.
My first visitors came soon after to welcome me and check whether I was settled in and maybe had something to share.
Loved the callling of the peacocks throughout the day…watching mom and her little ones scratching around and the males doing what males do, strutting their stuff and showing off in splendid colours.
Temenos is built around a garden…a garden like no other garden, small pleasures and hidden treasures and beloved faces surprising you around every bend and corner. Wandering through the flowers and scrubs and trees and deities you sense a symmetry, a inner road leading to your soul and heart, forcing you to breath and be.
Walking the labyrinth….listening to the peacocks and birds…visiting all the little shrines and sanctuaries…learning to be still and open and just being flooded with the loving, peaceful and healing energy that is Temenos leads to discovering the basic truth of life…we are soul, we are love, we are energy and we do not need to get caught up in the dramas and hype of living the means of surviving. Just be, see the bigger picture and remember to not get attached to the small stuff.
Learn to love the journey and forget about the racing through life and experiences. Take time to laugh, breath and be. Take time to be present and take time to be kind to yourself. Venture into unknown worlds, both spiritually and physically. Wake up and smell the flowers, the wind and listen to the birds. Be patient, be loving and be kind.
Be brave, step out of your comfort zone and discover your inner voice and calm again.
Go on, be brave, take a break from hectic life, find your own Temenos and breath again and remember that we came here to learn, to love, to laugh, to share and to be kind. Find your roots and values again and most of all, find your mind opening up to the multitude of miracles surrounding us everywhere.
Enter the bewitching and bewildering world of High Court in the 1490’s. A world where duty comes before your heart, your desires and your future. A world where the wrong look and following your desires can cost you your future.
Nicole serves in the court of Anne of Brittany, Queen of France. The Court is a sheltered world that revolves around the Queen and King, the intrigues of the ladies in waiting and discovering womanhood and love. Nicole meets Philippe de Bois and their love for horses and healing pulls them closer and closer together. Duty separates them until a chance presents itself to prove that love and duty can be the same person.
An exquisite read with characters that are as real as the feelings, pain and laughter that they share.
I love coffee shops…the background humming of interaction and communication….the smell of great coffee and the interwoven sound of soothing music.
A little gem is The Daily Coffee Café in Vredenburg. An oasis of unique flavours, smells, tastes and smiles sitting in the middle of the local mall.
Try one of their coffees, or tea if so inclined, they are delicious. For me, the favourite part of the eclectic menu is the “Egg Benedict”. An absolute delight and only surpassed by the Egg Benedict prepared by a friend.
The perfect spot to fill your soul and senses. Notebook on the side, writing little snippets that spring to mind, sipping your coffee, returning a warm smile, savouring the taste of your food, letting the murmur of words and conversation flow like water over the pebbles of your mind, soothing and relaxing. Leaving will all your senses invigorated.
My first children’s book in my home language Afrikaans is in the process of being finalised for publishing…just love the illustrations by talented Valerie Brock that brought the tale to life….
Single mom Eden Saunders has learned that tragedy is simply a part of life. Her mother died during childbirth, and her husband was killed just three years after they married. On a journey to discover where she comes from, Eden inherits the key to unlocking new worlds from her deceased mother—including the world that should have been her home. The only thing stopping her from exploring them is the fear of leaving her daughter behind. Caught up in the circle of legacy, Eden discovers the mother-daughter bond that even death cannot break.
Enter a world within a world within a world. Eden is thrown into an unknown alternate world on her quest to find her roots and family. A chance encounter with a friend of her mother leaves her in possession of an old key and she ends up as Door Keeper, explaining not only her origins but her knowledge of many things never seen by normal mortal eyes.
Caught between her life, art and devotion to her young daughter and the ever expanding involvement in exploring the alternate realities through the door, Eden is forced to embrace who she is and who she wants to be moving forward.
An entertaining read that will pull you right into the different worlds and peoples. Eden, different from a young age without realizing why, James, who is pulling doors closed after the death of her husband open and Gabby, her precious daughter and bright soul carrying the remnants of Eden’s heritage.

We are bombarded with articles on bullying: from “How to spot a bully” to “How to treat a Bully”. The subject is age old and the bullying as damaging today as it was 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. Many of us bear the scars of bullying in our homes, school and workplace. The power that bullying generates will always produces the next line of bullies. That is life…or is it?
What is a bully or more correctly, who is a bully? Is it the angry boy or girl at school that takes their powerlessness out on smaller, younger and more vulnerable kids? Is it the overly ambitious or desperate to please co-worker that puts you on the spot or in a bad light each and every time management is around? Is it the drunkard father that finds himself unable to cope, not only with life, but especially the daily responsibilities of raising a family, of being aware every day of his failings as the anchor, the protector and the provider for those that he is supposed to love and protect?
I’ll tell you what a bully really looks like. A bully is a father that molested his child in his care and shrugs it off. A bully is that same father that ignores his child because his wife had the guts to leave him and get away. A bully is that same father that breaks into his child’s house where she sits unprotected with a crying 8 year old, busy breastfeeding a 5 day old baby. A bully is that same father that serves an eviction notice on his child and her children because she dared expose him for the bully he is. A bully is that same father that sues her for sullying his good name because she grew tired of being bullied.
A bully is that same father that was given a second chance to be a father and who is busy creating a bully to get away from the bullying at home. A bully is that same father who bullies his grandchildren because he can.
This is a bully. No reason for being a bully, no sad childhood to fall back on and blame for being a bully. Just a mean man who was supposed to love and protect and decided bullying is much more fun. No rewiring to be done, no therapy needed, his choice, his way of life, he is the bully because that is his power.
Musings of a wordy, nerdy, wordnerdy bird.
A collection of short stories , photographs and, of course a few opinionated articles.

Yeah, I am talking about planets of another star. It is one of those complicated things which I have read from the book “Origins” by Neil deGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith. I would have explained it here but then it would become too technical too soon and I doubt if I would be able to explain in totality.

August | 2014 | ?! &/or !?
I steal her angles, while I give dilemmas of an elderly method to institutions, and I remotely fit desire onto this authorial humanistic need, though I prosecute our joint mirage by switching television channels, yet I abide to her lust, as I recycle previously sought after toxicity, but I emulated algebraic guidelines, and I feel religious made shame, as I notice her beginning to drift off, and I color a mood with bursts of intensity to undo neutralizing rest, though I decorate with tragic flair.
I naturalize mechanic atrocities, but I trashed her circumstantial pleasure, and I haven’t been fantasizing about easels lately, yet I wrap omens in refugee garments, and I can’t get my tongue to assist me in a simple verbalization, as she darts everywhere with cartoonish flair, and I layer statistical mantras on top of defecated empiricism, to guard against faux notions, as they pose a threat of replacing diligent strives for new mediums.
I tumble sideways, and I garner healthful points, but I cannot align with enough ostracized styles of becoming, and I drop the prophecy, but I commandeer human tendencies resulting from saturated media frenzies, and I growl to myself, while I take up orthodox printmaking to explain away her magic, yet I undervalued such a force that can oppress neutrality, and I redress our wound, as a feathered chirping anthem is divinely executed in gradual transmission, that covers nameless forestry with appropriate shock, but I participate in caloric utility to move these joints, and I wipe smudges of this biblical antidote.

FRAN SOOSE is very versatile person as he talks about many things, communications systems, investigations, scuba diving training, Community College and his prison ministry.
He believes that people should accept where they are now and decide where they are going with their life from there.
Everybody has a complaint or gripe, but if it consumes you and you dwell on it, it eats away at you and turns into more frustration. it is not healthy and creates a negative atmosphere being around others. It is better to take positive action and do something about the problem. Most people don’t like to be around a negative complainer.

GENEVA (Reuters) - The death toll in the Ebola epidemic has risen to 5,459 out of 15,351 cases identified in eight countries by the end of Nov. 18, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.
The figures showed an increase of 39 recorded deaths and 106 new cases since those issued on Wednesday.
"Transmission remains intense in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone," the WHO said, referring to the hardest-hit countries.
All six known Ebola cases in Mali have now died and 327 contacts exposed to the virus are being monitored in the capital Bamako, it said.

It’s 2:45 in the morning and I’m sitting here, cracking up, watching The Jeffersons on channel 11. It’s the one where Billy Dee Williams stops by and Florence doesn’t believe that the man in the apartment is really Billy Dee. Helen Willis can barely get a word out of her mouth. And she and Louise both have blue flowers in their hair, a la the gardenia that Diana wore as Lady Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues. I’m sitting here waiting for Florence to realize it really is Billy Dee—she reminds me, in her rush of fanatic excitement, of Wilma Flintstone when she met Tony, er, Stony Curtis.
Been reading some. Loving a book called California Girl, by T. Jefferson Parker. It’s an expansive family saga wrapped up in a mystery surrounding the death of a young woman in 60s Orange County. Fascinating stuff, expertly written, thought-provoking and real. I’d been looking forward to this book, mainly because Parker’s the author of what might be one of my most favorite novels of the last 10 years, a smart, beautiful, sad, page-turning thriller named Silent Joe. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the mystery field and good solid writing in general. On the stack to follow the Parker are Michael Connelly’s The Closers and Daniel Silva’s Prince of Fire.

Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese champion of democracy and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is now on trial and faces up to 5 years in prison on charges by Myanmar’s military junta that she violated the terms of her house arrest after an uninvited American man swam to her lakeside house in May.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s opposition party is the National League for Democracy (NLD). The NLD’s overseas branch, the National League for Democracy – Liberated Areas (NLD-LA) and the Democratic Progressive Party are both members of the Liberal International, an international federation of liberal democratic parties.
The NLD won a landside victory in the 1990 parliamentary elections, but the military junta refused to recognize the results and instead reacted with force, jailing and killing dissidents. Aung San Suu Kyi has been severely monitored for the past 19 years by the junta and has been under house arrest for 13 of these years. Her house arrest was due to expire on 27 May 2009, but the military junta extended her term for another year.
Throughout our decades of democratic development, Taiwan received support and assistance from the international community. If Taiwan wants to be a member of the international community, we must play a more active role as world citizens promoting universal human rights and democratic values, synchronizing our efforts in solidarity with the international community to help Myanmar and other countries lagging in democratic development.
The DPP, a political party whose key ideals and values are democracy, freedom and human rights, passed this resolution on Burma at its Central Standing Committee meeting of 20th May in Taipei.
1. We urge the immediate and unconditional release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners in Burma. We demand that Burma’s government provide for Aung San Suu Kyi’s urgent medical needs and allow her to receive immediate medical care from doctors.
2. We urge the Burmese government to push democratic reforms in Burma and respect people’s desire for democracy and freedom. The 2010 parliamentary elections should be held with freedom, fairness and transparency.
3. We demand that the Ma Ying-jeou administration keep its promise of making human rights a priority and make every effort to promote the universal values of democracy and freedom. Taiwan should play a role as the vanguard of Asian democracy and stand in solidarity with Aung San Suu Kyi and the people who desire and advocate for democracy in Burma.
4. We urge the Taiwan government to address the issue of human rights violations in Burma and join the international appeal for support for the democracy movement in Burma. We urge our government to impose necessary sanctions against Burma until such time as the military regime improves its human rights record and works on democratic reforms.
5. We condemn China’s support for the Burmese military regime, support which results in negative consequences for democracy and stability in the East Asia region. Beijing’s act of consolidating its power and hegemony over the region, while disregarding universal values, contradicts its claim of a ‘peaceful rise.’ We urge all countries engaging with China, including the Taiwan government, to recognize this.

So we open the final ‘window’ in our social history book advent calendar. Given that this time of year is stuffed full of ritual and tradition, it seemed fitting to save Ronald Hutton’s The Rise and Fall of Merry England: the ritual year 1400-1700 for today. Professor Hutton looks at a range of customs and traditions, both religious and secular in origin. Highdays and Holydays (sic) marked the seasons for our ancestors, providing injections of excitement into routine lives. Some of these were national rituals, others more localised and Hutton has sought out references in contemporary documents that shed light on what was going on in particular towns. There is an appendix listing the churchwardens’ accounts that Hutton used in his research; the coverage is prodigious. In the pages of this book we find out about Maypoles and mummers, Candlemas and church ales and everything else in between. Hutton admits that, at times, the evidence is fragmentary but he has produced a comprehensive account of the celebrations of the early modern period. The time span covered by this book saw more than one major event that served to dislocate our ideas of celebration. The tumult of both the Reformation and the Civil War meant that our rituals in 1700 were very different from those of 1400.
As I come to the end of this year’s ‘calendar’, I would like to encourage you to review books that you read. It is the season of giving and it is the greatest gift you can give an author, well apart from buying their books in the first place. Obviously it is lovely if they are 4 or 5 star reviews but they do need to be genuine reactions. I personally don’t review at all unless I can award a ‘good’ rating. Reviews do not have to be lengthy. If you feel you can write something more than ‘great book’, it is helpful but all the authors I know would be grateful for two word reviews. I know I don’t write enough reviews and I really should. There’s a New Year’s Resolution in there somewhere! Can you commit to writing one a week, one a month or one for every book you finish in 2018? Use whatever medium suits you, Amazon, Goodreads, Twitter or a blog but make an author happy.
It just leaves me to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a new year in which we celebrate friendship and are tolerant of difference.
We are moving closer to the present day with Tom Harrisson’s Living through the Blitz. This book is based on the contemporary diaries and returns that formed part of the Mass Observation Survey and goes behind the ‘stiff upper lip’ media propaganda. Here you will find unvarnished, hard-hitting stories of fear and panic; accounts that are very different from nostalgic reminiscences, written long after the time. Inevitably, a significant proportion of the book concentrates on London but there are also chapters on the Southern ports and the industrial north. I particularly like the individual, personal experiences that shine out from the pages of this book. If the Blitz is history for you, rather than memory, you may well find that your preconceived ideas of keeping calm and carrying on are overturned by reading Harrisson’s work. More information about the Mass Observation can be found here. The original records are held by the University of Sussex.
I am still suffering from post-shed moving related injuries. Aided by adrenalin, yesterday I managed to steady sides of a shed as my companion devised a method of rolling the panels along on random bits of pipe. At least it is now ‘job done’ and I have a perfect excuse for not scrubbing floors (or indeed moving) for the next few days. I also have confirmation that the job I must not mention will see me take on a different role next year. I have a sparkly new job title and am now, in theory, less unimportant. As a result, I will be immersing myself in the world of Restoration Britain, slightly later in the seventeenth century than my usual stomping ground but I am relishing the challenge. Did someone mention ‘slowing down’?
I’ll be honest, today’s offering has just arrived on my book shelf, so I have only had time to skim through it but it looks like a gem. Accused: British witches throughout history, by the prosaically names Willow Winsham, is a little more ‘niche’ than some of my advent book choices. It is not the comprehensive study that the title might suggest but don’t let that put you off. Here we have eleven case studies from across the British Isles. Although most are seventeenth century accusations, the date span is 1324-1944. Through the stories of these women and these examples are all female, the author helps us to understand how individuals came to be the accuser or the accused and tells us of their lives before and in some cases, after, the indictment. At first, I felt that the very brief introduction was inadequate but Winsham’s aim was not to write yet another general study; there are a number of excellent ones already. If you regard this as a companion volume, that tackles the topic rather differently, then it can be viewed as an excellent book. Yes, we learn a great deal about the context through the stories if these eleven women but serious students of the historical witchcraft will need other books to get a fuller understanding of the background and the psychology behind this phenomenon. This is not a criticism of Accused, whose fresh approach adds a new dimension to our understanding. The author has used broadsheets, court reports and other contemporary sources to help us understand how human beings could revile their fellow men, or in this case women, in such an impassioned manner. The book includes extensive end notes, clear black and white illustrations and a bibliography.
Sadly, human nature does not change and although we might be unlikely to accuse our neighbours of witchcraft in twenty first century Britain, other forms of bullying and succumbing to peer pressure haunt our everyday lives. I am fascinated by people’s behaviour and what makes them act in a certain way. I am also keen on women’s history and the seventeenth century. With this combination, how could I not be interested in witchcraft history? I researched the topic carefully when I was writing Coffers, Clysters, Comfrey and Coifs: the lives of our seventeenth century ancestors, which contains a chapter on witchcraft. The topic also forms one of our Swords and Spindles presentations and my own The Burning Time talk about historic witchcraft is one of my favourites to deliver. Living as I do within a few miles of the home of the last (probably) three witches to be hanged in England how can I not be fascinated? And yes, I will come clean, there is a tenacious nagging idea for a second novel in here somewhere. I really need to suppress this until Barefoot is finished but I suspect that it won’t go away!
No writing accomplished yesterday sadly. I was diverted just as I was about to put fingers to keyboard, a process which is usually preceded by re-reading, for the umpteenth time, part of what I have already written. I always read aloud as this slows me down to an acceptable level and I was just declaiming my flowery phrases to an audience that consisted of a Christmas tree, when I was called upon to assist the fisherman of my acquaintance. He is currently moonlighting as the gardener of my acquaintance. Pressures of time mean that we are giving up the allotment. I say ‘we’; it is officially my allotment but all the hard work has been delegated to said gardener/fisherman. The incoming tenant did not want the shed so this week’s task is to relocate a eight foot by ten foot shed to my garden. In a method that does not bear imagining, the shed assumed flat pack mode and single-handedly the gardener, now in his eighth decade, managed to get this on to a trailer and up my drive. Then it was my turn to help bring the panels in to the garden. I promise I was lifting when instructed so to do but I have to say there was not much sign of my end of the structure leaving the ground. Somehow we struggled down the path and negotiated over hanging trees and the washing line in order to bring three panels into the garden before my back clicked in protest. I have no idea how we are going to get the remaining four panels in today. Again this is the royal we, my protesting back means that I can barely put my socks on let alone attempt shed lifting. These occasions make you realise that you lack fit, healthy, dare I say younger, friends.
If anyone is still reading these, congratulations and I refuse to be responsible if you have succumbed to my suggestions and blown your book buying budget. Today I would like to introduce you to Pamela Horn’s Labouring Life in the Victorian Countryside. I have had the pleasure of hearing Pamela Horn speak. In fact, on one memorable and somewhat embarrassing occasion, her 35mm slides slowly melted in the projector we had provided (you can tell this was some time ago!). Her social history books are all valuable reading for anyone trying to understand life in the Victorian era. The clue to the content of this particular volume is in the title and this is an excellent general introduction. The book covers many aspects of rural life in the nineteenth century. Here we can learn about home life, education, religion, leisure and cottage industries. There is a chapter covering the impact of trade unionism and another about crime and punishment. Other chapters look at poverty and at medical care. I particularly like the author’s habit of using named individuals as examples. The fruits of her extensive research in contemporary sources are shared with her readers.
My paperback edition has a few, rather dark, black and white photographs by way of illustrations, which don’t really add anything to the text. The appendices include details of labouring budgets and wages and a contemporary accounts of labouring life. There is also a useful bibliography, as well as end notes. It is another very useful book for those looking for context for the lives of their ancestors.
There was not much progress on Barefoot on the Cobbles yesterday. I am still bogged down with the tricky inquest scene. I took time out to write the next in my series of articles for the In-depth Genealogist Magazine (IDG). My column is about the lives of our female ancestors and this contribution was to be about suffragettes. I rashly included this when I was working on the suffragette chapter of Barefoot but suddenly this seemed like a less than good idea. IDG has an international readership and I needed to take that in to account and actually, once I got started, I really enjoyed researching it and I am now wishing I had time to take this further. I don’t have time. I really don’t. Please keep reminding me of this. I will pass on one gem that I gleaned. There is an online list of suffragists who signed a petition to parliament in 1866. I don’t want to give too much of the article away but there are similar lists of signatories to later petitions in Australia and New Zealand that a whiz of your preferred search engine should lead you to. Was great great granny a suffragette? I am wondering how much of my newly found knowledge I can impart to students of my forthcoming online Discovering Your British Family and Local Community in the early 20th Century course. You know the course, I believe I have mentioned it before and I expect, if there are still spaces, I will mention it again. It would be a great boost to your research as 2018 dawns.
I could not compile a list of social history books and omit the ‘Farm’ series. They have already warranted a couple of passing references in other posts but today’s belongs solely to them. Many people, especially in Britain, are family with BBC TV’s living history series Victorian Farm/Edwardian Farm/Tudor Monastery Farm/Wartime Farm. All of these are now available on DVD and are a wonderful insight into rural life in the period specified. What is less well known is that each series also has an accompanying book; I have them all. These are ‘coffee table’ books: beautifully produced hardbacks with lavish coloured illustrations. There are contemporary illustrations as well as scenes from the programme. I have no idea how well this translates to the e-reader editions. The books are nonetheless well researched and the insight into the experimental archaeology carried out by the authors, Peter Ginn, Ruth Goodman and Alex Langlands, is invaluable. For those who are unfamiliar with the series, three historians/archaeologists spent a year recreating life in a farm of a particular period. The books describe the highs and lows of their experiences.
I have decided to focus on Wartime Farm. The war referred to in the title is the Second World War, so this volume features the struggle to increase production during the conflict and the on-going tussles with officialdom, in the shape of the ‘War-Ag’. The book goes beyond the difficulties of the small-scale mixed farmer to describe the role of the farmer’s wife, giving and added female perspective. There are sections devoted to rationing, machinery, evacuees, home defence, labour, digging for victory and making do and mending, along with many others. The book does talk about the making of the series and this aspect may be less relevant to some. There are however ‘how to’ sections; so between the pages you will find a recipe for plum duff, instructions for making a mop, details of how to dance the foxtrot and how to make shampoo. In summary then, a good, general introduction to life on the wartime farm, well written and beautifully produced. Insider tip – there was a low-key, forerunner to these programmes, Tales from the Green Valley, focusing on the seventeenth century. I think this is the best of the lot. There is no book for this one but you can still get it on DVD, either as a stand alone or, at very little extra cost, as a companion with Victorian Farm and yes, I have that too.
Another favourite pops out from behind today’s advent window, Ian Mortimer’s Time Traveller’s Guide to Elizabethan England. In a similar vein to Ruth Goodman’s How to be a Tudor, this guide takes you back, to explore ordinary life in the sixteenth century. Here are the sights and smells of Elizabethan England in all their raw glory. We learn what to wear, what to eat and how to keep healthy. There are hints on avoiding committing a faux pas in this religiously turbulent age, along with valuable advice on manners and travelling by road. We are regaled with likely punishments should we, the visitor, transgress in some way. Being a country bumpkin, I might have wished for a slightly greater emphasis on rural life but this is a very minor point.
There are coloured plates in the book but I did feel a bibliography would have been useful, even though there are many sources mentioned in the detailed notes. As an inveterate note reader I do find endnotes irritating and I am assuming that this would be even more tricky on an e-reader. To me, readers either look at notes or they don’t and if they do, flicking back and forth is a pain, even though it does allow me to utilise two book marks! Footnotes rule – ban endnotes!
This is yet another volume that demonstrates the fact that well researched history does not have to be boring. I enjoyed the time-traveller format. I do of course actually travel to the sixteenth century on a not infrequent basis. Next time I will take this as a guide. I once had to do a seventeenth century presentation in front of Ian Mortimer – that was daunting, all I can say is that he didn’t walk out!
I have chosen this particular book but there are similar volumes on Medieval England and Restoration Britain by the same author. His books, along with many others, feature on our website’s list of books about the sixteenth and seventeenth century.

I’m a writer. I’m also a wife and mom, and the adopted person of a varying number of high-maintenance cats. I live in Northern Nevada where the Sierra meets the desert. That means I roast in the summer and freeze in the winter, and in between enjoy the variety of the sometimes finicky seasons.
I’ve been telling stories since I was a little kid and made up my own adventures for the folks stranded on Gilligan’s Island. I’ve been lucky enough to write stories in the world of Star Trek, another childhood favorite, and Battletech, as well as in worlds of my own creation. I happily admit that I’m afflicted with what some people call “butterfly brain” or “bright, shiny object syndrome,” which, in writer terms, means I write in a whole bunch of different genres–mystery, science fiction, urban and contemporary fantasy, suspense, romance, mainstream–whatever catches my attention at the time. There are even some zombie stories lurking around here somewhere!
Whatever kind of stories you like to read, I hope you’ll find something here to your liking. And check back often for new things on my New Releases page.
This blog is a work in progress. Expect it to change as my team and I learn more about what the heck we’re doing. And no, I’m not asking my daughter for help, and why is the time still flashing on my VCR? Okay, I’m not that bad. Yet.
However this site turns out, I’m having fun with it. I hope you have fun, too, while you’re here!

This guide is designed to equip professionals who are familiar with data centers and colocation facilities with the key concepts required to get started with Google Cloud Platform. The guide compares Cloud Platform with the software, hardware, and best practices used in those facilities, and highlights the similarities and differences between the two. In addition, the guide provides quick-reference mappings of traditional data center products, concepts, and terminology to the corresponding products, concepts, and terminology on Cloud Platform.
Capacity: enough resources to scale as needed, and efficient use of those resources.
Security: physical security to protect assets, as well as network- and OS-level security.
Network infrastructure: components such as wiring, switches, routers, firewalls, and load balancers.
Support: skilled employees to perform installation and maintenance and to address issues.
Bandwidth: suitable bandwidth for peak load.
Facilities: physical infrastructure, including equipment and power.
Google has one of the largest and most advanced computer networks. Google’s backbone network has thousands of miles of fiber optic cable, uses advanced software-defined networking, and has edge-caching services to deliver fast, consistent and scalable performance.
Multiple data-center regions and zones across the globe help ensure strong redundancy and availability.
Cloud Platform is designed to scale like Google’s own products, even when you experience a huge traffic spike. Managed services such as Google App Engine, Google Compute Engine's autoscaler, and Google Cloud Datastore give you automatic scaling that helps your application to grow and shrink its capacity as needed.
The following sections discuss the major benefits of using Cloud Platform over a traditional data center environment.
In addition, this pre-provisioning of resources means that you have a hard ceiling on resources. If you need to scale beyond that, you're out of luck.
Cloud Platform helps resolve many of these utilization issues and scalability thresholds. You can scale up and scale down your VM instances as needed. Because you pay for what you use on a per-second basis, you can optimize your costs without having to pay for excess capacity you don't need all the time, or need only at peak traffic times.
The Google security model is an end-to-end process, built on over 18 years of experience focused on keeping customers safe on Google applications like Gmail and Google Apps. In addition, Google’s site reliability engineering teams oversee operations of the platform systems to help ensure high availability, and prevent abuse of platform resources.
In a traditional data center, you manage a complex network setup, including racks of servers, storage, multiple layers of switches, load balancers, routers, and firewall devices. You must set up, maintain, and monitor software and detailed device configurations. In addition, you have to worry about the security and availability of your network, and you have to add and upgrade equipment as your networking needs grow.
In contrast, Cloud Platform uses a software-defined networking (SDN) model, allowing you to configure your networking entirely through Cloud Platform's service APIs and user interfaces. You don't have to pay for or manage data-center networking hardware. For more details about Google's SDN stack, Andromeda, see the Enter the Andromeda zone blog post.
When you use Cloud Platform, you no longer need to worry about installing or maintaining physical data-center hardware, nor do you need to worry about having the skilled technicians to do so. Google takes care of both the hardware layer and the technicians, allowing you to focus on running your application.
Google undergoes regular independent third-party audits to verify that Cloud Platform is in alignment with security, privacy, and compliance controls. Cloud Platform has regular audits for standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2, SOC 3, and PCI DSS.
Cloud Platform's pricing model is designed in the spirit of Moore's Law. For more information, see Pricing Philosophy.

In my final weeks as a Georgia Southern student, I’m going to look back at how each year has defined my life and has led me to where I am today. This is part three of the four-part installment.
There is this uncomfortable feeling that sets in as you become a junior. It is not something one can identify with a moment or experience.
Instead, a general sense of foreboding creeps in as you begin to wonder what will happen next in life. You have made your college friends, while leaving behind the high school relationships that did not matter. There is enough distance between you and the past to enjoy the present, but something around the corner becomes a constant bother.
I was not sure who I was entering my junior year. While I had forged my identity with friends, there were parts of my life that were not satisfying at all. For too long, I had served my own self interests before thinking about the way they impacted other people.
When that emptiness set in, it made me wonder why I came to college in the first place. Was it because I saw it as the next step in my life journey? Because my family expected me to attend? Perhaps it was neither. I started asking myself, what passions make me get up in the morning, excited to start the day?
For me, it was creating film.
After producing a big project upon graduating from high school, I had just finished directing my first feature documentary. It was winning some national awards and getting into film festivals.
The thing about film work, though, is a demand for consistent quality and frequent output. I knew that if I wanted to get where I wanted to go, it would require extra work and longer hours. Just because one project was successful did not guarantee that people would pay attention to a 20-year-old.
Soon, the activities that exclusively involved my friends would be adjusted to advancing my professional career, slowly breaking away from the social life I had come to enjoy. There were skills to learn and opportunities to build.
To better prepare my professional presentation, I became a Southern Ambassador, learning to sell a message to strangers. To better manage a group, I was elected to Delta Tau Delta’s Executive Board, working with our national office to keep the local chapter running. To become a better steward, I joined Student Government Association as the Publicity Coordinator, getting involved in my campus community.
While these things never replaced relationships, a burning passion for my future had grown over the course of the year. As it came to a close, I began to realize everything I came to enjoy about being a college student would soon fall away, as the “real world” started creeping its way into my life. There were bills to pay, tasks to manage, and events to juggle.
I realized that uncomfortable feeling was transition, moving from youth to adult responsibility.
In my final weeks as a GSU student, I’m going to look back at how each year has defined my life and has led me to where I am today. This is part two of the four-part installment.
Towards the end of my freshman year, me and several of my fraternity brothers started talking about getting an apartment together. Being the meticulous person that I am, we went to every complex in town to look at flyers, units and compare features to decide what would be the best place to call home. We thought it would be nice to stay put for the next three years, but certainly didn’t plan on it.
Though visiting each other frequently, we went our separate ways for the summer, soon to discover a new fall season upon us. Compared to my freshman year, it was a much different experience this time around. Despite the fact that I was moving again, it wasn’t to an unknown territory or quantity. It was with the people who I had grown to know well during the past year.
For the first few months, we pooled our money together for groceries and a “family dinner” every night. In fact, we shared pretty much everything, from cookware to laundry detergent, with no arguing. Our close, intimate circle grew bigger, as the friends of our friends grew to be part of our circle.
We were practically inseparable. Without many campus responsibilities and intensive classes, we were able to spend countless evenings together, going out or staying in, while experiencing countless activities in each other’s company. We began to know each other better than any of our friends in high school. Together, we took weekend trips and distant journeys to places like New York City, moving as a single unit.
Somewhere around February, we started to realize that the end of the academic year would mark the halfway point in our college career. It didn’t seem like it could be so, because we just started the year before. Friends began to be accepted into their upper division majors, while others didn’t meet the qualifications and had to readjust their life goals, all within a matter of weeks. It didn’t seem right or fair to make so many big decisions in such a short period.
At the end of the year, we had a luau party that everyone went to. After a few too many drinks, we all went swimming in the pond next to a house on Cawana Road. The mud was thick as we walked around in it, and suddenly, someone had the bright idea to start throwing the mud around. Soon, we were all drenched in the thick, black substance. No one was angry, though, not just because we were drunk, but because we had become more than friends – we had become a family.
It didn’t matter what choices we had to make or what directions we were heading, because in that instant, we had each other. While I knew we would continue to be friends, soon we wouldn’t have time to spend evenings together, travel, or have family dinner. Because for the first time in our lives, no matter where we lived or what we did, it was time to start growing up.
In my final weeks as a Georgia Southern student, I’m going to look back at how each year has defined my life and has led me to where I am today.
The first thing I noticed was the license plates. There were so many people from different parts of the country, with backgrounds much different than mine. In the parking lot of Johnson Hall, I moved in by myself because my Mom had to work. Collecting my things into the orange bins, I realized things were going to be different than in my town of 150 people. At home, everyone knew me and all of my life history. Here, I was just another freshman.
I went to a fraternity party with a friend of mine from high school. Never even considering Greek Life, I found it interesting, but didn’t plan to do anything with it. After a long night of partying, the president at the time convinced me to sign up for rush; he even filled out my online registration.
In the “interview process” you go through during Rush, I overheard someone with the same interests. We went to IHOP for a late night snack and hit it off quickly. While I didn’t end up getting the bid that what I wanted, I made a friend that would end up sticking by me.
After a failed Greek attempt, I hung out with my friends from high school. It wasn’t bad. They were my friends after all, but I wasn’t challenged or experiencing growth as an individual. Everything was the same as it was, just in another place.
Soon after, the fraternity reconsidered their decision and invited me to join. So began the process of becoming Greek, and my life changed forever. Suddenly, I started to see things in a different light, looking at people in different ways, learning to get along with people that I wouldn’t have ever thought about hanging out with otherwise. I started to participate in community service, leadership activities, and considered getting involved in other organizations my brothers took part.
Some of them were great, and others weren’t for me. Unlike high school, where you had limited choices, here there was the chance for opportunity and diversity. The absolutes in life were no longer as clear, with new ideas and viable alternative lifestyles that I had never experienced.
While Johnson Hall doesn’t stand anymore, the principles that surrounded my first impression still stands. In college, you meet a lot of different people, some who accept you for who you are presently, while others recognize that together, you can become something better.
College becomes like a moving bin; you put things in, you take things out, and sometimes, you don’t have help to guide you. But along the way, you discover that being here means more than what you are.
It means where you happen to be going.

We all know that Murfreesboro is per capita one of the leading producers of girls basketball talent in America. This group of 5 has flown under the radar a bit and new Insider Exposure Scouting correspondent Zach Banks (twitter – @IgotBanks_ ) takes a look at a group of kids he knows well. This group may not have household names among college coaches but each is poised to have a breakout season. Get to know them now!
Taylor Freeman- 5’6 Combo Guard. (2015, Blackman High School) Murfreesboro ,TN – Taylor has been under the radar her first 2 years at Blackman playing in the shadows of Crystal Dangerfield. This year is the year to look out for Taylor Freeman. Very talented guard can run the point or slide to the 2 position. Great heat to the rim player and a great finisher. Can step out and hit the 3 ball if you back up and give her space. Just a very talented kid that noone knows about until she has a break out year this season. D1 player.
Jasmyne Hurd- 5’4 point guard. (2016, Riverdale High School) Murfreesboro, TN – Jas is a outstanding shooter, inside the arc and outside the three point line she is a threat to shoot the ball. Yes only 5’4 but plays very scrappy, I would call her a hustle player. Gets up and harasses the ball handler and gets a lot of defections. Needs to stay healthy this year to help a really young Riverdale squad. With her shooting ability she will help that team tremendously. D1 to D2 player.
Jaleah Goff- 5’7 Point Guard. (2018, Blackman High School) Murfreesboro TN – Jaleah is a very good size point guard, with her 5’7 frame and her quickness she creates match up nightmares. If there is a smaller guard on her she is talented enough to take her down low and finish over the top, if a bigger guard comes out she will get to the basket and free throw line at will. Would like to she her jump shot improve more but that will come. That tall body on defensive causes a lot of hectic leading to a lot of steal and deflections. D1 potential.
Jaida Bond- 5’6 Point Guard. (2019, Blackman High School) Murfreesboro TN – This freshman will be on every college list when she is a senior, The sky is the limit with this super talented freshman. Ball handling, shooting, getting to the rack, passing, she has them all. Jadia is a premiere 3 point shooter has range for days, also shows flashes of a outstanding passer. She’s not the quickest guard out there but so smooth with the ball she can still get to the rim and finish with both hands. She is going to be a fun player to watch for the next 4years at Blackman. D1 coaches be ready.

To celebrate National Sandwich Day, this toasted sandwich is a nice change of pace from loaded Dagwood and cheesy layered concoctions. I enjoy the hell out of them, but sometimes I want something simpler.
Spread the butter and garlic slices over the two slices of toast.
Lay down the tomato slices on one slice of toast, and lightly salt them.
Lay down the cucumber slices on the tomatoes, and lightly salt them.
Place the second slice, butter-side down, to complete the sandwich.
Thursday is national sandwich day! So eat a sandwich! This recipe blends Lebanon and Syria in a sandwich.
This sandwich works best with a bread made from sweet dough, a yeasted white flour loaf made with eggs and extra sugar. I like to use a Syrian-style anise bread with mahleb, but any sandwich bread will do, especially breads like the Portuguese sweet bread from the The Bread Machine Cookbook.
Don’t skimp on the butter, do skimp on the salt, since you’re putting it on twice, and raise a toast (pun intended) to National Sandwich Day!
You’ll most likely have slices left over from the tomato and cucumber, so put them on the side with salt or salt and pepper, as you prefer. Drink with iced tea or some other not-particularly-sweet beverage, and relax.
I’ve been fascinated by cucumber sandwiches ever since reading The Importance of Being Earnest, and while this is nothing like that, I did have the urge to make a cucumber-focused sandwich after having some left over from a Lebanese garlic-tomato-cucumber salad. This is pretty much that salad (minus the lemon and olive oil, plus butter) on toast.
Lots of eggplant, sweets, and mahleb. This is a very good cookbook.
This is a nice simple cookbook with specifically bread machine recipes. I tried the raisin bread recipe and it turned out fine. Not up to the hype it was given, but a perfectly fine bread. The two Portuguese breads are great, as is the Austrian malt bread.
Varying a Syrian recipe from Helen Corey, this anise and mahleb-flavored bread is perhaps the best tomato sandwich bread I have ever tasted.
The full text of The Importance of Being Earnest in three acts.
Garlic, eggplant, and chickpeas. You can’t hardly go wrong with Lebanese food, and this book is great.
If you have a table saw or chop saw, making a bread slice guide is a snap.
To be honest, I’m not sure the whole wheat bread from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest is even doable by hand. But I have managed to modify it so that it works very well in a bread machine.

The idea behind this Killteam is to build the models to be immediately recognisable as Iron Warriors, so I thought about which visual archetypes I wanted to include. The Iron Warriors, to me, are characterised by their cold efficiency and bitterness: a reliance on superior strategy and wargear and the will to sacrifice as many lives as it will take to vanquish the foe. I wanted the models to exude a sense of cold and sinister brutality, a menace born of the disregard for human lives. I’ll let you be the judge as to whether or not I have succeeded.
The first is the batch of Dark Vengeance Chosen models kindly given to me by Commissar Molotov: The Chosen had just the amount of bulk and presence I needed to make my Iron Warriors look like actual, bitter veterans of the Long War instead of just some more CSM flunkies. So many thanks again to Mol for his generosity!
While certainly nothing special by today’s standard, I didn’t simply want to leave this guy behind, so I decided to give him a bit of a facelift. The clunky icon was replaced with a DV Chosen bolter. And while I didn’t completely repaint the model, I used it to test some new painting techniques of mine, especially on the hazard stripes.
Having this model as a test piece allowed me to figure out a way to include the legion number on one of the pauldrons (by using a cut out and inverted Cadian decal, incidentally).
All in all, I think the model makes for an excellent IW squad leader, if I do say so myself. There’s something dark and brooding about him that seems really fitting! And although it seems a bit blasphemous that I had to cut up a Skullcrusher helmet to build the model, it’s probably the best possible helmet for an IW champion — many thanks to Oldschoolsoviet for giving me this idea!
On this model, the biggest challenge was to maintain the balance between having the character look like a Chaos Space Marine (and an Iron Warrior, at that), while also seeming businesslike enough to work as an Apothecary. In the end, the bit that really makes the conversion is a bare, augmented head from the Skitarii Ranger/Vanguard kit. It just fits so well, don’t you think?
By the way, the first version of the model was carrying a plasma pistol, rather than an axe, but I felt the axe added a subtle executioner look to the character, and that’s certainly an aspect of his role as an Apothecary, don’t you think?
As you can see, some WFB chaos bitz proved to be a great help here, allowing me to arm the Breacher with a massive mace and boarding shield. I also added a holstered bolter, though — this guy is a crazy prepared Iron Warrior, after all.
My favourite detail, apart from the pose, is the helmet: I really enjoy the “expressionless”, utterly inhuman look of that particular helmet from the WFB Chaos chariot crew, and I added some tech-y gubbins to the helmet to make it look slightly more modern.
The entrenching tool is a weapon from the WFB Skaven Stormvermin kit, and easily one of my favourite plastic weapons, simply because it’s so vicious-looking! I have wanted to use this particular part for quite a while, and this model turned out to be the perfect occasion.
As for the bionic limb, I settled on replacing the model’s right leg, mostly because I used Kranon’s legs, and the right leg is only partially formed anyway (because the model’s cape normally obscures it). Now I do realise that some may see my design choice as a bit of a divisive feature, because I went for a – fairly thin – Skitarii leg. However, this was a rather conscious choice, because I wanted to achieve a slightly peg-legged look: Seeing how the entire armour will be silver, a leg painted in silver wouldn’t stand out too much, which is why I went for the Skitarii part. Plus I was also inspired by a scene in Graham McNeill’s Storm of Iron, where a veteran Iron Warrior actually experiences difficulties due to his leg replacement — I wanted the leg to be both at once: a highly sophisticated replacement, but also a possible weakness, and I think the Skitarii leg does a great job embodying that particular duality.
So far for the finished conversions, but are there any more plans for this particular Killteam? Right now, I think there will be two more members: A heavy weapons specialist (I am leaning towards arming him with a rocket launcher) will be one of the additional members. I already have most of the bitz I’ll need for the conversion.
Like I said, this has been a very rewarding mini-project so far, and I think I have learned quite a few days that will ultimately also benefit my World Eaters.

I think Iron Warriors suit you – a nice break from the khorne-boys and you can always ally them to the main force. I really like the use of chosen legs – it gives them some extra bulk and seems to put them somewhere between standard marines and truescale, which is quite a nice size for marines.
The champion turned out great and the apothecary is amazing – he looks like a Kari-build which is a huge compliment in my book).
-The trenchers bionic leg seems way too feeble – especially when he´s leaning on it like that. It looks like it´s about to break under his own weight.
– You really should put these guys on 32 mm bases – they´re to cool and too bulky for 25 mm.
Thanks a lot, Johan! That is very nice of you to say!
Oh, and I never really got the 32mm base craze. I see why it’s nice to have more room for the model, but maybe I am just too oldskool (and certainly too lazy to rebase my entire collection, that much is for sure 😉 ).
Really characterful stuff! My favorite is the apothcary, the skitarri head really is an inspired choice.
He looks like a real butcher!!!
The champion is also especially menacing with a great pose…. I don’t want to be overly critical but the one thing that struck me is that the blue colour for his power sword doesn’t really suit?….maybe a yellowing green colum or perhaps a purple?
The champion and apocathary are amazing. I just love them.
That apothecary is epic! And I actually like the peg-leg, a bit off balance sure, but adds a good deal of character to him. Your metals look nice and grimy as well.
Peg-leg Pirate Iron Warrior! They are looking good and I can understand the need to to have a change of pace now and then. Much less red to paint for starters.
So cool. Love the breacher. The movement in the model is great.
Long time follower, first time commenting. I love the look you have gotten out of them, very well executed. The only gripe I have is the leg on the trencher, it seems very small compared to the rest of the model. Love the apothicary btw. Also, Finally, you need to inform me of how you get your transfer decals to not come out as glossy as mine do. I have always tried and failed at good decal work to the point where I want to practice some freehand, but yours are damn near perfect. Thanks Kraut!
Thanks, Thorn! That is very nice of you to say! Regarding the bionic leg, see my reply to Jeff Vader above about why I like that particular look.
Can’t wait to see how you finish those models out, and I look forward to it!
Now that I’m in the final parts of the final few of my own “legacy” Iron Warriors, I’m thinking about new builds. Your Champion and Apothecary have particularly stood out for me since I first saw them. So I’m wondering if you’d mind me drawing some pretty specific inspiration from those two, and also if you would be able to let me know a parts list for that pair?
Particularly: Legs on both, Bolter and backpack sensor-bit on the champion.
As for the bitz, both models are based on a torso from the Iron Warriors conversion kit (still available from GW) and legs from the Dark Vengeance Chosen. This leads to a nice, massive look that is almost true scale-ish but still looks right next to “regular” models. Apart from that, they mostly use a mix of Space Marine, Chaos Space Marine and warriors of chaos bitz: The bolter on the champ came from the Sternguard kit, IIRC, while the sensor bit on his backpack was originally one of the small, shoulder-mounted sensors from the Tempestus Scions. Other noteworthy bitz include the head of a WFB Skullcrusher on the champ and the Narthecium arm and backpack from a Space Marine Apothecary and a head from the Skitarii Vanguard/Ranger kit on the Apothecary.
If you need a more thorough bitz list, don’t hesitate to ask!
Awesome thanks! – I recognised the torsos. I think I have some left. Legs from DV… that makes sense. I’ll find and chop some of those guys up. I found that same sternguard bolter a few hours after posting, so I’m good there, and I assume the axe is from the Chaos Warriors. I have the Scions, so I’ll be able to grab one of those – didn’t know where it came from though – so thank you.
Are those Kroot tabards with bones & knife on them?
Oh yeah, the axe is a weapon from the WFB Warriors of Chaos. And you’re correct about the tabard as well: It’s from the Kroot kit.

ClassicMovieTime | Smile! Get inspired by these movies!
Smile! Get inspired by these movies!
Pros: Nicole Kidman is a credible Grace Kelly, as expected. She’s a wife and mother who handles two careers. She meets Hitchcock and Monaco politicians. Her life is split between Hollywood studios and children hospitals.
She wants to make a difference in both her worlds, America and Monaco. As she learns more about old continent, she becomes their ambassador. She pledges for their conservative methods and good intentions.
Was it difficult for a simple girl from rural America? You bet. Did she want to quit at times? Absolutely. Who did she call when in distress? Her mother. And old wise friends, like Hitchcock.
She was a public figure in USA. What would be like to be the same in Europe? French and Manners teachers helped a lot. It was on site training on this new job she had for a life time.
Minuses: The script is overly dramatic on how the American way improved old conservatory Europe. This is hard to believe after so many movies with the same conclusion.
Recommended: When you are changing your career. When you struggle being a good parent and a responsible adult. Have a glass of red wine. I am sure you will enjoy them both!
Pros: If you are like me, you enjoy movies based on real life stories. It’s so refreshing to watch a real fairy tale! This 2019 movie gem features a leader and his unusual army: Mandela and the rugby team of South Africa.
This story will remind you that miracles are possible. Revolution can be soft and quiet. You will witness some unusual ways to inspire not just one man, but a whole nation.
When Mandela reached to power, the country was divided. Poverty and segregation made a whole nation sad, hateful and demotivated. Mandela spotted the opportunity to raise spirits and unite the nation.
How did he do it, as politician? With sports. Rugby was his gamble. He inspired the national Rugby team to tour the country. Inspire all children, black and white.
Rugby united the nation. South Africa was hosting the worldwide rugby competition. And against all odds, they won!
Mandela and the rugby team gave a whole nation a common goal and a reason to feel proud.
Minuses: With Clint Eastwood directing, one can only expect a comprehensive script. It covers Mandela’s years in prison. The poverty of his country. The struggles of Mandela’s bodyguards to trust each other, black people and white people. This is not an easy Hollywood subject. When you go to the cinema, be prepared for this.
Recommended: This a story for simple people, black and white children. It’s a story for leaders: team leaders, business leaders, etc.
When I was 15 my wildest dream was being fiercely independent: going to the beach with my friends, wearing a gorgeous red swimming suit, hair on the wind and having the most handsome guys in school joining for a party. At that time life without music was inconceivable, and I was up for the hottest music, of course. It was the 90’s, when all excited teens were watching Baywatch series, aspiring on getting over the acne and looking just like Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff.
Years later I decided to follow my dream by all means. Long before Bla Bla car was invented, I reached the seaside with the most exquisite drivers. One managed to get a speeding ticked for exceeding 3 times the legal limit, while another didn’t even notice the red stop and was genuinely intrigued by our screams.
The red swimming suite was next on my list, and I wanted the very best. The fresh intern I was at the time came up the great idea of ordering from Victoria Secret despite them not delivering in my country, then asked a senior (male) co-worker to bring it from US. The look on his face when asked to check the package by delivery guy: priceless!
And then, there were the concerts! I traveled extensive lengths to listen for artists like David Guetta, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren. And yeah I did manage to date the most handsome guy in school, only to discover the concert made him look smart and quiet, just like a fish!
Do I miss the ’90s? Not really, finally there’s an easier way to make my dream come true: enjoy music, movies and special company. Next week on May 23rd, on Arenele Romane you can listen the Baywatch movie music right here in Bucharest. Sean Paul, the Jamaican artist who recorded the music for the 2017 movie will be here, exciting our senses with his latest hits, including Mad Love and I’m Still in Love with You. To book a ticket, visit concert Sean Paul . We’ll be there! Will you?
Today is the perfect day to get inspired and start doing great things in the week to come! Let me share with you some great things I have recently experienced. I hope you find them inspiring too!
This is a book replacing princesses with real women. 100 women who worked as aviators or astronomers, writers or presidents, Olympic sportswomen or world leading architects. My favorite story is about Ada Lovelace, the first women programmer in the world. Ada was poet Byron’s daughter. One of the first programming languages was named after her. She only lived to be 37, and she was also a wife and mother. Ada lived in Victorian times and she was close to the queen and the palace.
The second volume of the book is now available. I am looking forward to browse that too! I hope you find that inspiring, too.
This is a series available on HBO and now the second season is running.
This is a movie blog, and I am so excited about this British production, I had to recommend it to you! The British movies richness of details, clean acting and historical background never cease to amaze me.
Victoria presents the young queen, only 21. She becomes the queen and though inexperienced, she is independent and stubborn, fights against old advisors and rules the country her way.
Victoria and Albert were one of the happiest and loved royal couples. In Victorian times the technology bloomed. Ada Lovelace, the first world programmer, appears in many of the series. Albert, Victoria’s husband, was a prince of German descent. He was the one who introduced trains in UK, indoor plumbing to empower human hygiene, health and longer life, and he supported new technology adoption in UK at the time.
If you happen to visit London, you must visit the Victoria and Albert museum. This is where you can admire art, fashion and furniture that belonged to Victoria and Albert, these great historical characters.
There is no tax to visit this great and huge art collection. Moreover, the museum is located next to two other great museums, Natural science and Science museum. You can admire here real life dinosaurs, elephants and blue wales, and Jurassic Park animated dinosaurs.
The access in all three museums is tax free. They are also located close to Harrods shop, and you really must visit this classic elegant establishment, and buy classic tea and biscuits!
What inspires you on Saturdays? Where do you get motivation and inspiration for the week to come?

Are you joining similar events in your area? How do you keep networking and learning about your passion?
Pros: Ten years ago I was walking the local cinema with one thing in mind. Forget about dreadful university exams. Forget about moving away from my parents. Start new. The movie we watched then, Mrs Doubtfire, was exactly what I needed: hope. There are solutions is the toughest despair, just keep family values above all and imagination beyond limits.
How to be a Latin Lover is just the same: a very good comedy, about how to laugh at all hard times in life and get your help from young and old, short and tall people around. Eugenio Derbez and Salma Hayek make great parts in here. Sure thing, this movie is no Oscar winning material. But then, not all movies are meant for award winning! This comedy will make you smile when adversity strikes in your life, and serve as a reminder that there are always solutions available. How to be a Latin Lover is also recommended for families with young pre-teen kids. Salma’s son in this movie is 10, a short smart boy who needs desperate relationship advice. And where else could he get it from, if not his Latin Lover uncle?
So how is the movie How to be a Latin Lover?
It will make you think outside the box. How would an unemployed Latin lover make 1000$ quickly? Rent his car as advertising space for a local striptease bar.
It reminds you of the great perks in life. I bet you sleep on a regular mattress, don’t you? Enjoy it! Next, watch the great Latin lover challenges when sleeping on an inflatable mattress on the floor that keeps loosing air….
Troubles in your love life? Salma’s 10 year old kid has a crush on a beautiful class mate. And he’s wondering how to impress her, how to walk and talk while NOT sweating! You have been there, haven’t you?
Cons: This comedy is no drama-solve it all movie. It will just make you laugh and help you continue your life struggles, with a smile…for now.
Some scenes and lines might be not suited for very young kids. But keep in mind this is a Spanish – Mexican educational production, so the overall feeling is kindness and love.
Conclusion: How to be a Latin Lover is the perfect comedy to watch with your loved ones, on a Tuesday night. Weather you have your own kids or not, it will make you smile and think everything IS possible.
Pros: This 2015 production it’s a biographical movie and it will remind you of the award winner A Beautiful Mind. An Indian self trained mathematician is invited to Trinity College in UK to publish his discoveries. It’s about the academic career of the pioneer Indian mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan, and his friendship with his mentor, Professor G.H. Hardy. You will discover great actors like Jeremy Irons and the very talented Dev Patel, from Slumdog Millionaire, all on the lovely UK scenery. Dev Patel is just amazing in this movie!
Ramanujan story it’s raises incredible questions. Are geniuses born? Even mathematicians? Can an unschooled person fit in the rigors of European universities, and fit academic criteria? What is a man to sacrifice for his lifetime mission? Family? Religion? Comfort? All? Is the science dedicated life of a British professor much worthy than that of an unemployed genius Indian married man?
Minuses: I could not think of any. Lovely story from start to the end.
Recommended: This is a beautiful movie for a weekend night. Get ready to be inspired by the modesty, effort, love and dedication of this less known mathematician, who was compared with Newton for his genius.

"Today my broken face is the true face of the system in the Islamic Republic of Iran. I am now the symbol of justice that, if viewed correctly, puts on display the full extent of the oppression by the rulers of the Islamic Republic.
"My worn-out body and face reveal, paradoxically, the proclaimed justice and the true oppression. Anyone who sees me now asks in surprise, 'Are you Akbar Ganji? What have they done to you?' "
Akbar Ganji has come to represent the democratic movement in Iran, not only because of his enormous courage and his original thinking, but because he has revealed the "true face of the system in the Islamic Republic of Iran." Although he has been in prison since 2000 and has been gravely weakened by illness and a two-month hunger strike this summer, he still stands out as the strongest figure in today's Iran.
Among the former revolutionaries who have questioned the Islamic Republic, none has shown the intellectual and moral courage that Ganji has demonstrated in interrogating and holding accountable not just the Islamic regime but also his own former self. His resistance to the regime's tyranny is at the same time a statement against the young Islamist militant who once eagerly helped to bring about the Islamic Revolution.
His transformation from militant Islamist to courageous dissident and staunch defender of democracy and human rights shows how thoroughly the Islamic Revolution has failed to reach its goals. Ganji's transformation gives us a little more hope in ourselves and in Iranian society's potential for change.
Step by step, Ganji has redeemed himself by questioning the very system that he once helped to erect. His firmness and uncompromising attitude spring from an intellectual restlessness and a moral integrity that make him constantly seek and reveal the truth.
Born in a poor neighborhood of Tehran, Ganji became a radical Islamist while a teenager, rising to a leadership position in the Revolutionary Guards. By the late 1980s, however, he had begun to have reservations about the direction of the Islamic regime and joined the staff of a new reformist intellectual journal called Kian.
In the 1990s, Ganji emerged as Iran's most prominent investigative journalist, and became famous for his reports linking the "serial murders" of dissidents at home and abroad with the regime's highest officials. Shortly after attending a conference at the Heinrich Böll Institute in Berlin in April 2000, Ganji was arrested and charged with spreading propaganda against the Islamic system, and he has been a prisoner ever since.
Whether in his readings of Hannah Arendt and Karl Popper or in his investigative journalism, Ganji has acted boldly and frankly, without the timidity and ambiguity typical of so many of his comrades in the reform movement. He would not accept pat answers or opportunistic compromises. For him, the struggle against the Islamic regime has become not only a political but also an existential imperative.
In a letter, he states, "The letters and notes I have written are all nourished from the essence of my life. For tens of pages that I have written, I have lost 25 kilograms of my very flesh and blood."
The radical nature of Ganji's transformation flows not from his political views, but from the manner in which he has chosen to act.
Ganji has grasped the important point that, in confronting a totalitarian regime, the first rule is to create a model of resistance that is effective precisely because it refuses to play according to the rules chosen by those in power. He creates a different domain, a space within which he will set the rules. His questioning of the Islamic regime is not only political but also cultural and ideological.
He begins by attacking the regime's attempt to legitimize its rule through its confiscation of religion and its claim to be the sole representative and interpreter of Iranian culture. Ganji invokes a different tradition, far more deeply rooted in Iranian culture, the subversive tradition represented by poets such as Molana Jalal al-Din Rumi (ca. 1207-73) and Khwaja Shams ud-Din Hafiz (ca. 1310-79) and their harsh and relentless critique of hypocritical clerics and narrow orthodoxies.
He thus simultaneously negates the claims of the regime and reclaims the true Iranian heritage through its genuine cultural representatives.
Ganji exposes the ideological nature of the Islamic regime, the way it has used Islam as an ideology to gain and maintain power. Citing Arendt and other Western thinkers, he demonstrates that the regime owes more to modern totalitarian ideologies such as fascism and communism than to Islam and Islamic traditions. He thereby helps to restore dignity to the religion that in his youth he had helped to confiscate.
But Ganji goes beyond religion, ethnicity, or nationality in recognizing universality of concepts such as democracy and human rights. Thus he brings Iran back to the world, allying himself with democratic elements in his country no matter what their creed, and drawing freely upon the writings of democratic thinkers in the West.
At a time when it might seem that the only alternatives are either to accept and work within the Islamic system or to oppose the regime by its own favored method of violence, Ganji proposes a third option. While rejecting the constitution and the rule of the supreme leader and demanding a secular and democratic Iran, he also calls for a resistance that is nonviolent. His hunger strike, his prison writings and his calls for an election boycott all point the way to a third alternative.
Is left with nothing but the urge to gamble more."

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City awakened Tuesday to a flooded subway system, shuttered financial markets and hundreds of thousands of people without power a day after a wall of seawater and high winds slammed into the city, destroying buildings and flooding tunnels.
Scenes of the damage were everywhere. At least 50 flooded homes in Queens caught fire and were destroyed. A hospital removed patients on stretchers and 20 babies from neonatal intensive care, some on respirators operating on battery power.
Where usually bustling crowds and traffic jams streamed through sidewalks, streets and subways, they were largely empty. And high above midtown, the broken boom of a crane continued to dangle precariously over a neighborhood.
"Oh, Jesus. Oh, no," said Faye Schwartz, 65, Tuesday morning as she surveyed the damage in her Brooklyn neighborhood, where cars were strewn like leaves, planters deposited in intersections and green metal Dumpsters tossed on their sides.
The storm was once Hurricane Sandy but combined with two wintry systems to become a huge hybrid storm whose center smashed ashore late Monday in New Jersey. New York City was perfectly positioned to absorb the worst of its storm surge - a record 13 feet.
In Queens, nearly 200 firefighters tried to contain an enormous blaze that consumed 50 homes in the Breezy Point neighborhood. They had to use a boat to make rescues, firefighters told WABC-TV. They climbed an awning to reach about 25 trapped people and take them down to a boat.
Officials weren't immediately able to pin down the cause of the blaze.
Water surged into two major commuter tunnels - the Brooklyn Battery and the Queens Midtown - along with seven subway tunnels under the East River. The agency is assessing damage and will restore the system as quickly as it can, MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota said.
The rains and howling winds left a crane hanging off a luxury high-rise in midtown Manhattan, causing the evacuation of hundreds from a posh hotel and other buildings. Inspectors were climbing 74 flights of stairs to examine the crane hanging from the $1.5 billion building.
After a backup generator failed, New York University's Tisch Hospital began evacuating more than 200 patients to other facilities, including 20 babies from neonatal intensive care, some of them on respirators operating on battery power.
Without power, the hospital had no elevator service, meaning patients had to be carefully carried down staircases and outside into the weather. Gusts of wind blew their blankets as nurses held IVs and other equipment.
About 670,000 homes and businesses were without power late Monday in the city and suburban Westchester County.
In Schwartz's Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook, residents who ignored a mandatory evacuation order awoke to debris-strewn streets and a continued blackout. About 2 inches of mucky dirt and leaves covered streets crisscrossed by downed power lines after water sloshed 12 blocks inland.
The doors of the Fairway grocery store were blown out. Several cars left in the parking lot were shifted by flood waters overnight and were left crammed door to door.
Schwartz and her husband rode out the storm on the third floor of the residences above the Fairway and said white-capped flood waters reached at least 3 feet around the building.
"It was scary how fast the water came up," she said.
The city shut all three of its airports, its subways, schools, stock exchanges, Broadway theaters and closed several bridges and tunnels Monday as the weather worsened. By evening, a record 13-foot storm surge was threatening Manhattan's southern tip and utilities deliberately darkened part of the borough to avoid storm damage.
It could be several days to a week before all residents who lost power during the storm get their lights back, Miksad said.
On Tuesday, the New York Stock Exchange was to be closed again - the first time it's been closed for two consecutive days due to weather since 1888, when a blizzard struck the city.
At 4 a.m., few people were out on the streets. Times Square was lit but empty of people. Round-the-clock restaurants and bars that would have been wrapping up after last call were closed. Only a handful of taxis plied the streets - but there was an abundance of emergency and police vehicles.
Uptown, windows of apartments and businesses glowed. But to cross through midtown was to be swallowed by darkness. Only a few emergency or backup lights appeared in buildings.
Late Monday, an explosion at a substation at 14th Street and FDR Drive contributed to the power outages. No one was injured, and ConEd did not know whether the explosion was caused by flooding or by flying debris.
Earlier in the day, another 1 million customers lost power in New York City, the northern suburbs and coastal Long Island, where floodwaters swamped cars, downed trees and put neighborhoods under water.
At least six people were killed in the New York City area, most by falling trees. The dead included two boys, ages 11 and 13, who were killed when a tree fell on a home in suburban Westchester County.
Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Tom Hays and Larry Neumeister in New York, and Frank Eltman on Long Island.

In case you think I'm Pollyanna (do you all know who she is--or was?), I want to pan--with a capital "P"--La Moustache, a film that more than 80% of reviewers praised. It's the most lost-in-a-haze of pretentious film that I've seen in a long time. In its efforts to be psychologically significant, it was just plain draggy and meaningless. With two stalls and eight men waiting, the men's room was filled with guys throwing up their hands. While this obviously is hearsay evidence, the lobby had its share of wonderers what it was all about. If you disagree, send me an analysis that I can believe.

This novel is made up of a mother’s letters to her husband. She explores (ad nauseum) her culpability because her son committed mass murder at his high school. Despite the book’s very subjective viewpoint, I couldn’t forgive its implausible, black-and-white take on such a heinous crime. Of course the mom never wanted the son, didn’t love him (enough?), was a bad disciplinarian and on and on it goes. Oh yeah, she even listened to “Pyscho Killer” while pregnant. (I roll my eyes.) My two take-aways are that Shriver is fantastic at using a thesaurus and creating a novel that’s hard to put down—even though you really want to—because of its car-crash quality.

For the album by Swans, see Omniscience (album).
Omniscience (/ɒmˈnɪʃəns/) is the capacity to know everything. In monotheistic religions, such as Sikhism and the Abrahamic religions, this is an attribute of God. In some other religions that do not include a supreme deity, such as Buddhism and Jainism, omniscience is an attribute that any individual can eventually attain.
It is however, believed that human can only change their predestination (wealth, health, deed etc.) and not divine decree (date of birth, date of death, family etc.), thus allowing free wills.
The refutation that cognitions, either perceived, inferred, or otherwise, can be used to refute omniscience.
A demonstration of the possibility of omniscience through apprehending the selfless universal nature of all knowables, by examining what it means to be ignorant and the nature of mind and awareness.
A demonstration of the total omniscience where all individual characteristics (svalaksana) are available to the omniscient being.
The specific demonstration of Shakyamuni Buddha's non-exclusive omniscience.
Some modern Christian theologians argue that God's omniscience is inherent rather than total, and that God chooses to limit his omniscience in order to preserve the freewill and dignity of his creatures. John Calvin, among other theologians of the 16th century, comfortable with the definition of God as being omniscient in the total sense, in order for worthy beings' abilities to choose freely, embraced the doctrine of predestination.
In Jainism, omniscience is considered the highest type of perception. In the words of a Jain scholar, "The perfect manifestation of the innate nature of the self, arising on the complete annihilation of the obstructive veils, is called omniscience."
Sāmānya kevali – omniscient beings (Kevalins) who are concerned with their own liberation.
Tirthankara kevali – human beings who attain omniscience and then help others to achieve the same.
If God foreknows the occurrence of some event E, does E happen necessarily?
If some event E is contingent, how can God foreknow E’s occurrence?
Some philosophers, such as Patrick Grim, Linda Zagzebski, Stephan Torre and William Mander have discussed the issue of whether the apparent exclusively first-person nature of conscious experience is compatible with God's omniscience. There is a strong sense in which conscious experience is private, meaning that no outside observer can gain knowledge of what it is like to be me as me. If a subject cannot know what it is like to be another subject in an objective manner, the question is whether that limitation applies to God as well. If it does, then God cannot be said to be omniscient since there is then a form of knowledge that God lacks access to.
The philosopher Patrick Grim most notably raised this issue. Linda Zagzebski tried to avoid it by introducing the notion of perfect empathy, a proposed relation that God can have to subjects that would allow God to have perfect knowledge of their conscious experience. William Mander argued that God can only have such knowledge if our experiences are part of God's broader experience. Stephan Torre claimed that God can have such knowledge if self-knowledge involves the ascription of properties, either to oneself or to others. Patrick Grim saw this line of reasoning as a motivation for accepting atheism.
Omniscient point-of-view, in writing, is to know everything that can be known about a character.

I actually started listening to Prairie Home Companion because you mentioned it a few years ago. I’m so glad that there are still people who can appreciate radio shows (even if now I mainly stream it) and I’m making a note to visit the Point Pleasant Boardwalk because I’ve never experienced bumper cars. Isn’t that sad?
Oh, you will love the bumper cars! They’re just good times. As a fellow old-school entertainment enthusiast, I think you will be pleased. But you don’t have to go to Point Pleasant – pretty much every amusement park or boardwalk with rides has them.
I love Rainbow Rowell and her books! She’s super friendly on Twitter too, we’ve tweeted back and forth a few times :).
That cupcake sundae sounds pretty awesome, too. I am waiting for cupcake ATMs to hit Michigan :).
RR has tweeted me back a few times, too. I’m hoping to finally meet her at a festival or conference soon!

What�s the fix for hunting ?
Intelligence, balls,(or eggs), and truth.
A fix is a cure.
There�s no sport in hunting any more.
They�re all set up by pros and the odds have been eliminated.
The world is an empty relic of what it used to be.
Grow some balls � or eggs � and start to face reality.
to be a real hero for a change.
A camera is the o nly tool you need to hunt with.
It takes something most hunters will never know about � skill.
Go with the flow and let the soul inside you expand.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything, but something happened today that got my mind churning & made me want to share some thoughts. My uncle died today, and I’ve been dwelling on that as well as something my cousin posted on social media. Maybe this is my way of processing his death or maybe this is just a way for me to help organize my thoughts. Either way, I’ve been feeling the need to write this.
A little background first: my uncle Dave was a wonderful guy to be around. He loved to kid around–poke you in that ticklish spot on your side just below the ribs, give you a cow bite on the thigh, make a good-natured joke about your height or hair or whatnot. When I picture him in my mind, I always see him with a smile on his face or asleep–he could nap just about anywhere. He was a large man, a bit rotund you might say. I can’t recall him being any other way, but it fit him if you know what I mean; he was jolly Uncle Dave. He loved to hunt & his home was filled with the trophies of his sport. But Uncle Dave had a heart condition, had had it since he was a child, a kind of congenital heart disease (CHD). He was having a heart procedure earlier today & didn’t survive it. I don’t know yet all the details, but they’re really not important right now anyway.
That post has been on mind since seeing it almost as much as my Uncle Dave, aunt, & cousins. Why? Because I believe the sentiment is correct. I think we can rightly hate diseases & defects of all kinds: CHD, cancer, asthma, allergies, & on & on & on ad nauseam. These are things that we know aren’t right, that we know deep down don’t belong in this world. And it can create a raw anger when a tragic event like this occurs.
But what should be the effect of that anger? Or how should it be directed? There are likely a lot of possible responses; some of them harmful & some of them at least somewhat helpful. However, what I propose is the proper effect or what I hope it causes, especially in those closest to the tragedy, is a longing–a longing for something better, a better place, a place that doesn’t have any of this misery.
If you feel that kind of longing, there’s a reason for it. And it’s not some ethereal floating on clouds, playing harps place the longing is for; that place isn’t real (& let’s face it, that sounds terribly boring; who would really want that?!).
No, that longing is for something real, someplace tangible. It’s the longing for God’s good creation before sin’s effect began marring all of the created world. It’s harkening back to Eden & forward to the new Heaven & new Earth. It is a longing that can only be satisfied by following One Path. There is One Way to one day gain entrance to that real place in which all disease, all defect, all misery will be naught; all other paths lead to never-ending misery. The only Path that will satisfy your longing is reached through belief in Jesus the Christ: belief that He existed temporally (on this earth), that He exists eternally, that He fulfilled God’s law (lived a perfect life without sin), that He died & in that death took on the punishment for breaking God’s law that we deserve, & that He was resurrected from the dead (which provides the proof that He is who He says He is).
I am thankful for that longing & even that it intensifies during grief. And I am thankful for the hope that the longing will one day be satisfied.
Please be praying for my family & especially for my aunt & cousins. Pray for comfort in the midst of their grief. Pray that hearts would be softened & not hardened toward Christ. And pray that no matter what, Christ would be glorified.
Uncle Dave, you will be sorely missed. You were much loved by many people, & many will grieve bitterly over your passing. Though you will not see this, I would that you know I love you & I will miss you!
Jesus was, is, & forever will be!
Lately I’ve been thinking more and more about God and what He means to me; this has been going on intermittently for a few months and has become more of a burden in the last few weeks. I’m prompted to write this note because of the recent death of a friend of mine.
I found myself in tears on the way home from the funeral home, and I could not figure out exactly why I was crying. Was I sad because a friend had died? Was I responding emotionally to the song on the radio that spoke of God’s greatness? Were they tears of joy because my friend had accepted Christ? Were they tears of remorse for failing to share the gospel with others? Or was it a combination of all these things & maybe more–I think this is the most likely explanation.
I have been told that she had accepted God’s gift of salvation through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection; and for that I praise God. However, I think back on all the times that I talked to her over the years– all the times that I sat in her chair while she cut my hair (sometimes as often as every 2 weeks), and I realize that I never once spoke to her about spiritual matters.
I am thankful that God saw fit to save her despite my shortcomings, but what might her life or her testimony been like had I even once opened my mouth to share the gospel with her? Or anyone else for that matter? What stopped me? Many things: fear of rejection, fear of offending her, fear that I would say the wrong things, fear that my knowledge of scripture was too poor, and on and on it goes. Do you see the common theme? FEAR. But what should I be afraid of? Or better yet, why should I fear these things? If I speak the truth in love, it is not my place to worry about peoples’ reactions or what they do with that information; if they reject it, they are rejecting God, not me. As long as I stick to what I DO know, I should not worry about saying the wrong things, and if my knowledge of scripture is not what it should be, I can always say “I don’t know” & look something up or find someone who does know the answer. I should NOT fear because the Bible tells me not to fear: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul…” (Matthew 10:28a).
I believe that by God’s grace and with His help I am entering a new chapter in my life; one that I hope will be marked by a greater openness about my faith in Jesus and what He has done. I see this note as the beginning of this chapter, and I hope to write more notes like this in the future. But, I also hope that I become more willing to share with others face-to-face in my everyday life and take advantage of those opportunities that are right in front of me.
I believe in God (the one and only God). I believe His Son Jesus died on a cross as a perfect sacrifice for my sins and the sins of the whole world. I believe Jesus rose from the dead through His own power on the third day. I believe we are saved from the punishment for our sins (eternity in Hell) by accepting Jesus’ free gift of salvation through belief in Him as our savior. I believe that He has saved me. I believe that just because I am saved does not mean that I am perfect or that I will never sin again.
I hope that others read this note, and it encourages them, or causes them to ask questions, or think more about God. If you have any questions or comments for me about this note, PLEASE post them or email them to me.
After starting off this blog with a lot of posts back in February (mostly of links to articles & such that I liked), I have significantly slacked off (probably a bit of an understatement). I don’t have the time, talent, wisdom, or memory required to keep up a regular output on this blog. The time thing is an especially big factor right now, but I don’t want to completely give up on this thing.
I’ve been reading through some of my old notes that I’ve posted on Facebook in the past, & I think that I will repost some or all of them on here over the next few weeks or so. Some of those notes resulted in some very good & lengthy discussions, & I hope they will be an encouragement to anybody who might read them.

I am learning all sorts of fascinating things about how products are designed and how those designs tug at our emotional and cognitive impulses to make us decide and act in ways we just take for conscious behavior. Donald A. Norman‘s book, ‘Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Every Things’ is an awesome book for anyone how is curious about product design (who isn’t ?), filled with all kinds of big and small concepts on understanding functional and behavioral aspects a product, whether it is a twin-blade shaving razor or the 2010 Mini Cooper, and then map it to a human mind’s emotional and cognitive preferences.
After reading this book, one has a greater understanding of the worldly things, like the Macbook I am typing on now, the cup with tea on my desk, the speakers on the wall and the shapes and contours of the pen and pencils lying around. Each and every one of them have an effect on the three kinds of emotions I experience – visceral (looks), behavioral (function), reflective (inference) and together these emotions weave a story about each of those products with respect to me. Mr.Norman lays out a compelling case for making one’s product not only great functionally, but also more human centered which would result in simplifying complex problems with elegant and unobtrusive solutions.
The book is has many wonderful insights on design, a few of which I have written down and plan to drop during some office meetings to impress people. Here are some of Mr.Norman’s quotes, from this and his other books and publications.
Everything has a personality: everything sends an emotional signal. Even where this was not the intention of the designer, the people who view the website infer personalities and experience emotions.
If functions are equated with cognition, pleasure is equated with emotion; today we want products that appeal to both cognition and emotion.
It’s the total experience that matters. And that starts from when you first hear about a product… experience is more based upon memory than reality. If your memory of the product is wonderful, you will excuse all sorts of incidental things.
The argument is not between adding features and simplicity, between adding capability and usability. The real issue is about design: designing things that have the power required for the job while maintaining understandability, the feeling of control, and the pleasure of accomplishment.
All this seems to be good until we hit a deadline or marketing comes in. Then initial design goes out the window and “make it work somehow” design takes over.
Yeah, it seems like everyone understands the importance of good design, but at crunch time, it is the first thing that gets ignored. Every app team has its own developers and qa people, but they don’t have a dedicated design team.

Year One: Eight graduate-level courses, including CMLT 501xx and 502xx; demonstrated competence in two foreign languages; one substantial paper.
Years Two and Three: Eight graduate courses; Track Declaration in fall of second year; two substantial papers in second year; oral examination passed by end of third year.
Year Four: Approval for dissertation proposal by end of year.
Years Five and Six: Dissertation colloquium at halfway point; completion of dissertation, culminating in dissertation defense and award of degree.
NB: Teaching under the GAI agreement is normally performed in Years Three, Four and Five.
The first year of the Ph.D. program consists of eight graduate-level courses, all of which must be taken for a letter grade. Students are expected to take six of their eight courses in the first two quarters of the program. The two-quarter foundational sequence Comparative Literature 501xx (Autumn) and 502xx (Winter) is required for ALL first years and transfer students, including those with a previous MA.
The remaining six courses are normally divided among two literatures, although a student may, with department permission, place greater emphasis on one literature or on some special interest (see details in the Track Statement section below for dividing courses). In order to obtain their MA degree, students must also demonstrate competence (high proficiency in a graduate literature course using the form provided in the related section or high pass in a University translation examination) in two foreign languages, one of which must be either French or German.
At the annual spring review, faculty will take into account the presence or absence of incompletes in evaluating student progress and determining awards. Students with any incompletes in required courses at the time of the spring annual review will be asked to reconcile their incompletes before the beginning of the fall quarter of the next academic year (with all papers for incomplete courses turned in to both the course professor and the DGS by a specific date in the summer set by the DGS, normally in late August). Students who have more than 1 incomplete at the beginning of the fall will be placed on probation for one quarter. If they still have more than 1 incomplete at the end of the fall quarter, they will be asked to take a leave of absence until work is satisfactorily completed. No student will be allowed to take his or her oral fields exam until all required course work is complete.
Students' transcripts will be reviewed every year in spring quarter to establish "satisfactory progress." The transcripts should contain a majority of A or A- grades. Any grade of B + or above is considered satisfactory. Grades of B and below will be cause for concern. Courses with a grade of B- or below may not count toward departmental requirements.
Students will be eligible for the M.A. degree upon successful completion of the first-year requirements, which include submitting two seminar papers for departmental review by the end of the first week of May: one seminar paper written for either quarter of the two-quarter required seminar sequence and one that demonstrates use of a foreign language. Near the end of the first year, the department will review students' records to assess whether students have made satisfactory progress and to provide guidance regarding their future course of graduate study. For more information on the M.A. degree, see Humanities Divisional policies on Degrees.
In their second and third years of Ph.D. study, students are required to take a total of eight graduate level courses. Of these eight courses, at least six must be completed in the second year. No more than one of the eight required courses after year one may be taken for a pass/fail grade.
Students who enter the program with an M.A. degree from another university that has been judged suitable preparation for Comparative Literature study at the University of Chicago will still be required to take Comparative Literature 501xx and 502xx. Otherwise, they receive credit for one year’s work corresponding to the MA and are therefore required to take eight graduate courses in addition to the two core courses, normally six in their first year and two in the second, corresponding to the normal requirements for second and third year PhDs.
Apart from course requirements, students with previous M.A. s follow a similar schedule to other students who matriculated in the same year.
End of first year—no more than 1 incomplete by the end of spring quarter among the 8 required courses and submission of two seminar papers for department review.
End of second year—no more than 1 incomplete by the end of spring quarter among the 16 required courses for their first two years and submission of two substantial papers.
End of third year—no incompletes by the end of spring quarter among the 16 required courses. Students should be done with required coursework by the end of the third year.
End of fourth year—successful completion of the oral exam.
All recipients of summer stipends must submit a one page report to the DGS or their dissertation director as applicable confirming that the funds were applied as indicated in the proposal or, if changes were made, explaining the academic purpose of those changes. The recipient should also be prepared to provide additional documentation as needed.
For admission to candidacy the same language requirements hold for both Track I and Track II.
Students should also be working towards native fluency in the language of their major literature by applying to studying abroad, once they have exhausted University offerings first. Funding for language study depends on the language and on the student’s immigration status; for information, please review the websites of the Division and UChicagoGrad. In addition, students should prepare for job applications well in advance by taking the necessary qualifications to teach the language (see Teaching Requirements).
Registration for the language exam (for which a High Pass is required) can be found at the Office of Language Assessment.
All graduate students who wish to fulfill the language requirement through graduate course work must submit the CMLT department form to be filled out by the instructor after the course work has been completed. The form will evaluate the student's general knowledge of the language with emphasis on reading.
Timeline: one high proficiency language should be confirmed in the first year. The remaining requirements must be completed before the student is admitted to doctoral candidacy to be reviewed by the chair of the candidate's committee and submitted to the department at the same time as the proposal form.
Students are reminded that competition for academic jobs requires that comparatists compete with native speakers and other national literature specialists an must therefore demonstrate equivalent oral and written skills and expertise in their primary language and literature.
If students need to take a leave of absence during the program, including maternity leave, they should carefully review divisional policy on residency and academic requirements in the student manual before discussing options with the DGS, Chair, and Humanities Dean of Students. In particular, students should note that taking leave of absence for a term, once that leave has been approved by the Dean of Students, does not excuse them from the obligation of meeting departmental requirements and the four years of Scholastic Residence mandated by the Humanities Division.
Beginning in the third year and every year beyond while enrolled in the program, students must complete an annual academic progress report. This report will be used by the faculty to determine and assess students’ academic progress during the annual spring review. It thus complements but does not replace the “Advanced Studies” course that students are enrolled in when taking fewer than 300 units (see the Humanities Division’s policy on academic progress).
The Annual Report requires signed approval from the DGS in your third year and from your exam and/or dissertation committee chair in the fourth and subsequent years and is due each Spring Quarter in the first week of May.
The report should provide a brief account of post-coursework progress and/or problems with progress. For all students in the third year and following, this should include the date passed or scheduled for the oral exam and teaching that the student has accomplished in the past year and/or scheduled for the following. For planning teaching, see Teaching Requirements.
For post-orals students, this should include teaching as above and a summary of dissertation research and writing accomplished during the academic year, including a description of what committee members have seen and approved. If it seems appropriate, the Chair will contact committee members to obtain their assessments of the student’s progress but it is the students’ responsibility to keep track of their academic progress and inform their dissertation committee in the first week of Spring Quarter of the material that will be included in this report.
After course work, all students must pass the oral examination before they can be admitted as candidates for the doctoral degree. Students should begin planning for this exam at the start of the third year or, so that they can take the exam by the end of spring in that third year, as the Division prefers. Students entering with a previous MA are encouraged to begin this planning earlier, once they complete required graduate coursework in the second year. In order to meet this deadline, students should work with qualified faculty who will be in residence at the time of the exam rather than waiting for faculty to return from leave. Individual faculty who are on leave during the exam can be asked to join the dissertation committee later.
Since the exam requires the candidate to respond to spontaneous as well as prepared questions, the candidate and all the examiners should all be present in the room. At the very least, the candidate, the exam committee chair and the second examiner must be present; the third examiner may if his/her absence from Chicago is truly unavoidable participate by Skype or equivalent method but this exceptional arrangement can be extended to only one person on one screen. If the candidate cannot provide a working laptop to accomodate the video conferencing, they may make a request to the department administrator for a departmental laptop to use; this must be requested at the time of scheduling the exam.
Unlike the dissertation, which requires deep and focused research on a single project, the oral exam is designed to help students demonstrate broad competence in two national literatures or in literature and another professionally recognized discipline. Developing and demonstrating this competence helps to lay the intellectual groundwork for dissertation research but is also essential preparation for life after the dissertation, in other words for academic or other intellectual employment. Thus, while some secondary critical material should be included, the lists should contain predominantly primary material (ie, works of literature in the National Literature Oral). Students should provide their exam committee with a copy of the CMLT Oral Exam Report Form, should be submitted to the department administrator at the conclusion of the exam.
Track I requires "The National Literature Oral." This is a two-hour oral examination based on no fewer than 60 titles in one major literature and no fewer than 30 titles in the minor literature. The list for the major literature will address all periods and genres so as to prepare the candidate for a wide range of teaching opportunities. The list for the minor literature will treat major texts of a more limited period or specific genre to be approved by the examiners.
The exam will consist of (5-10 minutes) presentations on 3 topics related to the lists, each followed by questions from the examining faculty. In consultation with the examiners, the student may either prepare 2 topics related to the major literature list and 1 topic related to the minor literature list or prepare 3 topics that address the works on both lists.
Track II requires "The Field Oral." This is a two-hour oral examination on a representative list of approximately 70-90 titles in a given comparative field, such as literature and philosophy, literature and art history, literature and film, literature and history, literature and music, literature and sociology, literature and religion, literature and science. In order that candidates can find appropriate examiners to help them prepare for field expertise as it is generally understood by professionals, the second discipline should be represented by a distinct department or PhD granting unit in the University. Subfields like postcolonial studies or drama, which are normally embedded in literature departments are therefore not eligible for the field oral.
Texts chosen for the field oral exam are to be distributed evenly between the two disciplines and should include works in the languages of the candidate’s competence in addition to English. The exam will consist of brief (5-10 minutes) presentations on 3 topics related to the lists, each followed by questions from the examining faculty.
The exam committee is assembled by the student and should be comprised of two or three full-time UChicago faculty members, at least one of whom must be a core member of Comparative Literature. Of the other two, for Track I: one examiner should cover the minor list, while two share the responsibility for the major, but the Comparative Literature member may also elect to ask questions about both lists. For Track II: one member should be a specialist in the other discipline represented in the exam, and the other would normally be a literature specialist, ideally but not necessarily with interest in the other discipline.
Students are responsible for assembling their lists based on their reading and/or course work. and in consultation with their examiners. Once all examiners are satisfied, the candidate must complete and circulate the oral exam book list approval form. Students should consult with their exam committee to make sure they are meeting list expectations. Once the exam list has been approved by all members of the committee, a copy needs to be filed with the department a month before the scheduled exam.
Scheduling the oral exam should be arranged by the candidate with the examiners when filing the final oral exam reading list with the department. Because finding a date and time for oral examinations can sometimes be complicated, students must contact their examiners and alert the departmental administrator as early as possible, and absolutely no later than the end of the first week of the quarter in which the student plans to take the oral exam. The candidate is responsible for negotiating the schedule with examiners; the department administrator for scheduling the room. Oral examinations are not administered during school breaks or over the summer.
The Humanities Division expects students to complete PhD exams by the end of the third year to enable the prompt transition to work on the dissertation proposal and the defense of that proposal by the end of the fourth year. Meeting this schedule will enable applications for extra summer funding (see Summer Stipends above) and other travel awards posted on the Divisional website. If a student has not completed the oral examinations by the end of his or her fourth year, he or she will be put on academic probation. If he or she does not complete the oral examinations by the end of the Autumn quarter of the fifth year, he or she will be asked to leave the program.
Students who fail the oral examination may, at the discretion of the committee, be allowed to retake the examination once and only once. If a retake is granted, it must be completed within two quarters of the original exam date. Continuation in the Ph.D. program is dependent upon success in the oral exam.
At the start of their second year, after consultation with advisers in their chosen areas and with the approval of the Comparative Literature faculty, Comparative literature students choose either track I on “National Literatures” or track II on “Literature and another discipline” for their future research and teaching preparation.
Track I "National Literatures" requires a major focus upon one national literature (the major) with a secondary focus upon one or more second national literature, usually in a specified historical period or genre (the minor). Track 1 students must take at least 3 graduate courses in their major national literature. Because students are likely to apply for jobs in national language departments as well as in Comparative Literature, these courses must be taken for full grade credit in those national literature departments.
Track II "Literature and Another Discipline" focuses on the critical relationship between literature and a non-literary discipline such as philosophy, history, art history, or music. In order to fulfill the requirement, this discipline must be authorized by a recognized department or PhD granting committee in the University of Chicago. Sub-disciplines within literary study, such as post-colonial studies, area studies (e.g. Mediterranean) or period (e.g. Renaissance) are not separate disciplines and are therefore not options for a second track).
Track II students must take at least 3 graduate courses in the department that they choose other than literature. Students should consult with their advisors and with the DGS to ensure that they take courses appropriate for their chosen fields of specialization.
a) a general statement explaining which track and why; b) which courses already taken in the first year fit the requirements; c) which courses will be taken in the second year to fit the requirements; d) which faculty the student will be working with, including at least one full member of CMLT and one member of the other relevant department, based on courses taken or to be taken and/or confirmation of interest from said faculty, to ensure advance planning for completing all course requirements early in the third year.
Since the track declaration is a declaration of intent that is subject to revision and which will be finalized only once the student passes the Track exam (see below for guidance and samples of successful exams), the department cannot post samples on a public website. Students should take the initiative to contact faculty members in the first year of study, to discuss the research and teaching that they wish to pursue, so as to prepare effectively for the track declaration.
the track declaration should be submitted to the department in a WORD or PDF document no later than the third week of the fall quarter. The track declaration must be approved by the faculty as a whole, who may make recommendations for the proposed course of study. In such cases, the track declaration should be revised and resubmitted for approval.
short projects such as term papers or conference papers cannot therefore be substitutes for the substantial paper.
Substantial papers in the department of Comparative Literature must be submitted in English so that all faculty members can read them for the spring review. Students writing for courses that may require or encourage submission in other languages must therefore provide a translation in addition to the original submission.
In order to ensure that the paper meets the above criteria, students will need to contact seminar instructors for prior consent at the proposal stage before writing the paper; students are required to obtain from their instructors a signed approval form attesting that the paper meets the requirement. Copies of these papers with a signed substantial paper form must be submitted to the DGS and Administrator by the end of the first week in May.
All academic and teaching records of students are reviewed yearly by CMLT faculty prior to submitting recommendations to the Humanities Dean of Students. Continuation of funding is dependent on meeting departmental and divisional requirements for satisfactory academic progress and completion of teaching obligations. In particular, summer stipends are conditional on satisfactory progress and will be revoked during periods of academic probation.
All students must meet the full-time residency requirements for autumn, winter, and spring during their coursework years and during exam preparation. The policy of the Humanities Division requires full-time scholastic residency for four years.
In the first three years of the program while students are involved in coursework, all students will meet with the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) prior to each quarter usually in week eight or nine to discuss and receive approval for course registration.
Once students have finished coursework and are registering for fewer than 300 units per quarter, they will be automatically enrolled in an Advanced Studies course for up to 300 units with the instructor listed as the DGS. The pass/fail grades for this Advanced Studies course will be assigned by the DGS based on the annual review of student progress in the spring quarter.
Students may not begin the academic year with any incomplete work. This is Humanities Division policy; students are expected to start each term and each year with their full attention on current course work.
Students with incompletes in required courses at the time of the spring annual review in May will be required by the Dean to demonstrate that all incomplete work has been completed and graded before the beginning of Autumn quarter of the next academic year. All papers for incomplete courses must therefore reach the course professor and the department before August 31 to allow the professor time to grade the paper before the new academic year.
Students with any incompletes at the beginning of Autumn quarter will be placed on academic probation and given one quarter to reconcile their incompletes. Students with ongoing incompletes will not be able to proceed to oral examination, dissertation proposal, or teach/serve as a CA under the GAI until all incompletes are resolved.
Students with more than one incomplete to write over the summer after the first and second years will forfeit summer funding (see below). Students with any incompletes at the end of the third year will forfeit summer funding; any incompletes at this stage will prevent the student from meeting the oral exam schedule (see below).
Failure to meet requirements will jeopardize further progress in the program and in the profession and may be grounds for withdrawal from the Department and the University.
After passing their oral exams, students must promptly begin working on a dissertation proposal under the guidance of their dissertation committee. This committee must include two U Chicago faculty members, of which at least one should be a Comparative Literature faculty member. Before adding one or more members to the required two, students must explain to the dissertation director why their project requires a third reader, and should weigh the need, such as language or theoretical expertise not already represented by the original members, against the cost. Adding members tends to slow down feedback, revision, and thus also time to degree so should be undertaken only after careful consideration.
A dissertation proposal is necessarily provisional in its claims; students may change aspects of their argument as they continue to do their dissertation research, thinking, and writing. Nevertheless, formulating a coherent and compelling proposal is a vital step toward successfully completing the dissertation in a timely fashion.
The dissertation proposal should demonstrate that the student (a) has moved from thoughts on a topic to advancing a significant and original set of questions about that topic; (b) has sufficient understanding of the relevant scholarship and of his or her chosen methodology, and (c) has formulated plausible organizing principles for the dissertation as a whole.
There are various ways of organizing the dissertation proposal effectively, but the outline of the dissertation's chapter organization and contents normally appears as the final section before the bibliography. Students must consult their dissertation committee members regarding the committee members' specific expectations (e.g., regarding the optimum length of the proposal) as they work on their dissertation proposal.
Before entering candidacy students are required to present and discuss their dissertation proposals at a proposal hearing. This hearing must be arranged by the student who will submit the proposal to the department administrator a month in advance. The hearing will be presided over by the dissertation committee chair and attended by their dissertation committee and other interested faculty. The optimal discussion of the proposal depends on face to face communication. At the very least, the candidate, the dissertation director and the required second reader must be present in the room; if the third reader must be absent, he/she may participate on Skype or equivalent program but this exceptional arrangement can be extended to only one person on one screen. It is the candidate’s responsibility to provide a working laptop with the Skype or other software required, if the candidate cannot provide a working laptop, they may request use of the departmental laptop from the Departmental Administrator at the time of scheduling the defense.
In order to complete a dissertation in a timely fashion, students must sustain momentum after their oral examinations so as to make an effective transition to the dissertation. Students should have a dissertation proposal completed and approved by their dissertation committee by the end of the quarter following their oral fields examination. If they are not able to meet this deadline for a fully approved proposal, they must at least submit a rough draft to the committee along with a written explanation of sound academic reasons for the delay.
All students must pass their proposal hearing and submit an approved dissertation proposal to the department within three quarters of passing their oral fields examinations; failure to do so may be grounds for removal from the doctoral program. Students who do not pass their proposal hearing by spring of their fifth year will be withdrawn, per Divisional policy.
After admission to candidacy, dissertation writers are expected to produce at the minimum one chapter per academic year, and preferably two to three chapters. Producing polished chapters acceptable to their dissertation committee members requires handing in draft chapters at regular intervals with the expectation that the committee members may ask for several rounds of revisions before deeming the chapter acceptable.
Because of the time needed for faculty to respond to work and for the student to make necessary revisions, candidates must provide the dissertation committee with at least one chapter by no later than the end of March each academic year. Students who get stuck at any stage with a chapter should explore the help offered by the staff at Graduate Student Affairs.
It is not acceptable to wait until May when the Annual Academic Progress Report is due to get back in touch with, or turn in a chapter to, one’s dissertation committee. Failure to meet the end-of-March deadline may jeopardize continuation in the doctoral program.
Doctoral candidates should normally expect their readers, including those on leave, to return dissertation chapters with written comments within a month of receiving them, barring exceptional circumstances. However, faculty can meet these expectations only if the doctoral candidate demonstrates his or her commitment to the dissertation by providing chapters and revisions to the dissertation committee members on a timely basis. If any member of the dissertation committee does not provide feedback to a completed chapter within the standard month, without adequate explanation, the candidate should discuss the matter with the dissertation director. If the dissertation director cannot resolve serious problems regarding timely feedback after the candidate requests help, the candidate should if necessary contact the Director of Graduate Studies.
Candidates are eligible to apply for dissertation completion fellowships only if they have completed at least one polished and approved chapter of the dissertation by the application deadline, usually January or February of the year preceding the fellowship. Fellowship awards will be granted only if the candidate and the dissertation director certify that the dissertation will indeed be completed and defended by the end of the fellowship term. Strict instructions from U S Government and private grant-giving agencies also require the University to certify that candidates receiving dissertation completion fellowships will not receive any further funding after the fellowship. Candidates should also take note that being eligible to apply for funding is never a guarantee that an award will be offered and should therefore apply for funding from more than one source and for teaching positions as well.
For information about fellowships candidates should read the periodic emails sent out by the Division and review the information on the Divisional website.
About half way through the dissertation, normally in the fifth quarter or after the completion and approval of half the number of chapters outlined in the proposal, the candidate will arrange for a colloquium with their dissertation committee. Summer quarters will count in determining the number of quarters after admission to candidacy, but if the fifth quarter falls in summer quarter, the conference will be delayed until the succeeding autumn quarter.
In this colloquium, candidates will discuss with their dissertation committee the current state of the dissertation and outline their plans and schedule for further progress. This meeting will also help ensure that dissertation committee members are aware of each other's views and expectations. Candidates will be notified when they have reached their fifth quarter after admission to candidacy and reminded that it is their responsibility to schedule a colloquium with their dissertation committee.
The optimal discussion of the dissertation in progress depends on face to face communication. At the very least, the candidate, the dissertation director and the required second reader must be present in the room; if the third reader must be absent, he/she may participate on Skype or equivalent program but this exceptional arrangement can be extended to only one person on one screen. It is the candidate’s responsibility to provide a working laptop with the Skype or other software required, if the candidate cannot provide a working laptop, they may request use of the departmental laptop from the Departmental Administrator at the time of scheduling the colloquium.
The candidate must conclude his or her studies by defending successfully the dissertation in an oral final examination. Candidates must get the approval of their committee for a dissertation defense prior to submitting the full dissertation at least a month in advance so there is time to arrange for other faculty members and the dean's representative to attend. The dissertation should be submitted in the standard format required by the University’s dissertation office.
The defense of the dissertation in the company of the dissertation committee, the chair, the dean’s representative and the faculty and other doctoral candidates in the Department of Comparative Literature depends on face to face communication among a larger number of people than the previous meetings discussed above. At the very least, the candidate, the dissertation director and the required second reader must be present in the room; if the third reader must be absent, he/she may participate on Skype or equivalent program but this exceptional arrangement can be extended to only one person on one screen.

In an interview, IPL’s CEO Sundar Raman spoke about how technology has really impacted the sport of cricket and how technology and IT has helped making IPL the kind of show that it is. This interaction was published in the Dataquest Magazine.
Without doubt, IPL is the biggest sports extravaganza in the globe with a turnover running in some Rs. 7000 crores. But not only as a cricketing innovation, IPL has also been embroiled in a host of controversies. At the very center of it all, is the CEO of DLF IPL, Sundar Raman. He was appointed last year to give a professional touch to the game, prior to this Raman had been associated with the WPP group for over a decade.
Raman’s biggest challenge came when the game was abruptly shifted to South Africa due to election and political issues in India. It was a logistical nightmare, considering the short time frame. But Raman and his team have done their homework and thanks to investment and knowledge of IT solutions, they were able to ensure that all goes according to plan without a hitch. Caught up with the rigmarole of the upcoming event, Raman took some time out for an exclusive interaction with Dataquest, wherein he talks about how the game has been revolutionised by the 20-over innovation and how technology is helping it make a success. Excerpts.
In IPL2, what will be the additions over the very successful IPL 1?
The inaugural season of the DLF Indian Premier League was a huge learning for the BCCI and our team. For starters it helped prove that India can sustain a franchise based model in Sports and quite profitably. But perhaps more important was the fact that we were able to help create a model that has helped grow the game at the grassroots level and significantly enhance the infrastructure across India through private participation. Drawing in the crowds through a mix of world-class action on the field and entertainment, were critical elements in the success of the IPL. That aside we made some unique additions to the quality of cricket played through innovations like the MCC Spirit of Cricket Charter, the Purple Cap for the Best Bowler and Orange Cap for the Best Batsmen.
In the second season, we have explored similar opportunities and avenues to create excitement for the fans and help improve the quality of on-field action. The five minute ‘strategy break’ is on such strategic innovation in the long line of innovations that the league has pioneered from the start. We did a calculation last year and 100 per cent matches went over an hour beyond their schedule time. It was just one delayed game after another and this inspite of the fact that we had enforced extremely high penalties. What we discovered then was that a majority of the time teams were ready to pay the money because the coaches and captains/players were consulting one another as the playing situations evolved on-field to fine tune their strategies. It is because of this discovery that we attempted to innovate with this new ‘strategy break’ at the end of 10 overs.
That aside we have identified areas of improvement around spectator comfort and the in-stadia experience, which we will rigorously implement in the upcoming Season 2009 in South Africa.
Then there will be the non-stop Cricket and Entertainment Carnival that we have planned throughout South Africa for the coming 36 days. No efforts are being spared to ensure that the fans in India and the Rainbow Nation are privy to a sporting spectacle the likes of which have never been experienced before. Season 2009 will be an expansive and grand celebration of cricket with a dash of Bollywood and local South African flavor added into the mix for good measure. More importantly, we are expecting strong support from our Indian fans, arriving in South Africa, to make their presence felt and display their solidarity towards their favorite teams. We believe that the kind of interest the DLF IPL has generated over the months and days—right from the time it was announced till today—will channelize into stadia’s across South Africa packed to capacities during the league.
What would you term as the enhancements to the game brought about by IPL. A lot of purists are balk at the comparison made between traditional cricket matches to IPL ones?
The Twenty 20 format is new innovative, action packed and very entertaining, not to mention instantly gratifying as the game is over and done with in all of three hours! This game should by no means be compared with the traditional forms of the game like Test Cricket. After India’s success at the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in South Africa, the game has undergone a sea change what with LIVE entertainment, bowl outs and what have you! With the DLF IPL we for the first time propagated the “My Team – My City” concept of fans – deviating from the national fan following which worshipped the Men in Blue.
The DLF Indian Premier League has always attempted to improve the quality of cricket played in the league with some unique additions like the MCC Spirit of Cricket Charter, the Purple Cap for the Best Bowler and Orange Cap for the Best Batsmen. The five minute ‘strategy break’ is a similar vein thus another innovative deviation from tradition this year which would see teams get an opportunity to consult and alter strategies after 10 overs to get their acts right. We have also dispensed with the Bowl Out and instead will have a One Over Winner takes all format – to add even more spice to the action! Thus in an essence we at the DLF IPL have always attempted to innovate and revolutionise the way the game is watched and followed in India and indeed the world.
How has technology helped in making IPL an extravaganza? In what ways is the technology being better used in comparison to traditional cricket matches, namely One-Day and Test Matches?
Technology has manifested itself in multiple ways to bring the sport closer to the fan. Be it online Blogs by sportsmen, Video Blogs, Live Online Interactions, to multiple camera angles on the field of play and players etc being miked up for LIVE chats with commentators. Technology has indeed come a long way since we listened to commentary of cricket matches on Radios. The Hawkeye and online Pulse Predicta game are other such amazing technology interfaces which are helping take the game to the next level. The DLF IPL is happy to be using all of this and more to bring the game closer to the viewer.
What is the mandate for the technology behind the IPL, do all the teams have the leeway to chose their own systems and work out their back-end. Is there a person who looks at it from a central manner, is there some sort of commonality of technology between the various teams?
The digital rights for each franchise rest with the franchise owners themselves. We have not put any stipulations of technology and allowed them to chose their own systems.
However, we have fully understood the importance of the internet in helping creating and sustain a global franchise like the DLF IPL and explored avenues to exploit the same right from the very start. Testimony to which was our association with companies like LiveCurrent and Netlinkblue for building an online destination for our fans in the form of the immensely popular www.iplt20.com. This signifies the first ever attempt to create a cricket-related content and commerce destination as the future cricket DestinationHub for cricket fans globally.
With www.IPLT20.Com becoming the official online destination for the DLF Indian Premier League, fans from around the world now have access to the entire season starting April 10. The site offer access to official league content including audio-visual, photographs, live scoreboards and summaries, match results, Fantasy Cricket, player interviews, profiles, schedules, statistics, ticketing and fan interaction through polls, contests and newsletters.
The site extends the stadium experience of a cricket match to the worldwide audience of cricket fans at large. The http://www.IPLT20.com website is highly interactive and includes everything a cricket fan would need to get their daily, hourly and minute-by-minute fix.
That aside, we have also taken some steps towards creating a Web 2.0 interface for the IPL working closely with some of the important social media networking sites to create enhanced interactivity for the fans.
Sports like Tennis and F1 always involve the help of external experts for instance like IBM, Accenture, etc. Are you also looking to working with such an expert on an overall level?
Yes, during the inaugural season of the DLF IPL we introduced an innovative online tool called Pulse. This innovation was from the inventors of the Hawk–Eye technology. Pulse is meant to engage the die-hard fans across th e globe to share their views and enjoy the game with ball by ball updates that can create multiple scenarios predicting the end result of the game. Making the interactivity for the fans that much more interesting – from the inventors of Hawk-Eye, Pulse was launched last year to allow people with access to the internet to contribute and engage with the production. In real time, fans were able to express their opinions on all the keys issues and attempt to predict the outcome of the game based on multiple scenarios.
IPL has also broken new grounds in terms of taking the sport to the public, through use of Web 2.0 technology like interactive portals, youtube channels, etc. Your comment on the same and what lies ahead?
There is no doubt that any technology enabling a cricket follower to get scores faster and more reliably is going to be one of the hottest things in town. The launch of interactive tools on various sites has greatly contributed to the popularity of the game and has brought the game much more closer to the most ardent cricket fans.
Currently desktop clients are the rage as yearning cricket fans are offered numerous options to evaluate the game in the form of live score updates (without the need to click on any refresh buttons), manhattans, graphs, videos and much more on the desktop.
For the first time the DLF IPL is now working closely with some of the important social media networking sites to create enhanced interactivity for the fans. As we move on from here, we are hopeful that online cricket will become that much more intense and personal experience as technology advances.
How the new technical methods used in the game (Hawk’s Eye, Sniko Meter, etc) have benefited Cricket as a whole and big role do they play in tournaments like the IPL?
Technological improvements will continue to flow through the game as the sport progresses. Useful media tools such as Hawk-Eye, Snickometer and, more recently, Hotspot, have garnered in immense support and has been a huge help in directly influence on-field decision-making. Hawk-Eye as we know is the most advanced officiating tool used in cricket and is highly valued for its accuracy, reliability and practicality. The current experimental referrals that have been used in one-day cricket as well as in test are terrific inventions and will see equal measure during the DLF IPL’s Season 2009 in South Africa as the use of hawk-eye, hotspot, snickometer etc. are virtually infallible in validating the ruling made by the on-field umpire by referring it to the TV umpire.
The hotspot technology in particular has proven to be extremely useful, as was seen in the recent South Africa – India series. Hot Spot which is an infra-red imaging system was effectively used during the matches to check whether the ball struck the batsman, bat or pad and will also see immense popularity in the DLF IPL Season 2009.
Another technology recently developed will help our advertisers and sponsors with Audience Measurement Analytics Limited (aMap). aMap has launched this new variant to their existing tracking technology and the new upgrade with overnight ad monitoring, campaign evaluation and viewership tracking system will offer daily spot ratings, second-by second viewership data, and monitoring non-conventional spots like L-band, Aston bands and pop-ups on television. So technology is indeed going places.
While initially BCCI had been slow to move in the arena of tech driven sports, in fact, they did not even have a functional website before IPL, how has the mother body been affected by the uptake of technology?
The all new official home of Indian cricket on the web at www.bcci.tv now offer fans an enriched digital user experience featuring deferred streaming video and mobile content apart from a live scoreboard available online, official photographs, player interviews, profiles, schedules, statistics and fan interaction and newsletters. All of which should ensure that through one single online destination, Indian cricket fans now have the opportunity to interact with the action. The website will provide all these digital assets to Indian cricket fans globally thanks to Global Cricket Ventures a joint venture between Communicate.com Inc., dba Live Current Media Inc. (OTCBB: CMNN), a media company built around content and commerce destinations and netlinkblue, a multinational provider of end-to-end consulting, technology and outsourcing solutions for IT and business consulting services.
Online and mobile streaming video is fast becoming an increasingly popular medium as video-enabled mobile devices and faster broadband internet speeds enable a “second screen” experience for users to interact with live action any time, from any location that fits their needs. It was thus critical that we offer the discerning Indian cricket fan this unique experience albeit not LIVE. I am happy that this alliance between Global Cricket Ventures and BCCI will further significantly enrich the user experience for the Indian cricket fans around the world with a direct window to the on-field action through generation next technologies.
With the shift of the arena to South Africa, how much of a logistic nightmare was it and how did you cope with it?
The decision to shift the DLF IPL Season 2009 to South Africa was the advent of a huge logistical exercise and honestly speaking we initially believed it would be a massive challenge. However, with the help and co-operation of Cricket South Africa and Mr. Gerald Majola in particular – I must confess that it has proved to be quite easy inspite of the fact that we started from ground zero.
I guess all our preparations to host the league back home in India did pay-off to an extent – as we now look ready to host Season 2009 of the DLF IPL in a weeks time!! Currently we have approximately more than a thousand people working on this tournament and are working with some of the very best vendors in SA to ensure the success of the league.
Among all the teams, which is your favorite website?
My favourite website amongst all is www.IPLT20.com – the league official online destination on the web.
Personally, how has the journey been for you starting from WPP to IPL?
The journey from WPP to IPL has been an exhilarating one. It has been one which I have enjoyed and would simply not trade for anything else in the world!!
Thanks for sharing this interesting interview.

Payments to employees for entertainment or performance services are considered by the IRS to be Special Interest Hobby Payments, i.e., a payment to an employee for an activity, which could be considered a hobby or recreational vocation. These payments cannot be related to the regular duties performed by the employee at the university. These employees will receive an IRS form 1099MISC at calendar year end.
All payments to visiting entertainers and performers who are US Citizens or Permanent Residents must also be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. US Citizens and Permanent Residents will receive an IRS form 1099MISC at calendar year end.
Payments to Performers/Artists/Athletes are the most complex payments made and are on the IRS radar, so the University of Chicago is diligent about researching the requirements/laws and consulting attorneys and experts at the IRS regarding these types of payments. Each document we require is necessary to prove due diligence for correctly making performance payments.
Many factors must be considered before allowing an individual to perform on our campus. The Independent Contractor Services Supervisor should review (or be consulted on) any contracts prior to signing to ensure any details regarding the actual payment can be honored. Departments who sign contracts that are not able to be honored by payroll will be responsible for any additional taxes/penalties that may occur in keeping with a signed contract.
The information provided below is a general guideline. Due to the complex nature of performer payments, each payment must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Payroll Services will determine the facts of the situation and make determinations of payment.
STEP I - WHO IS THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE INCOME?
Is the University of Chicago (UC) paying for a performer rather than a performance?
Is the UC paying for a performance of unnamed individuals (symphony, dance group, etc.)?
Is the UC paying for a performance, but one or more individuals are named performers?
Is the UC paying for a performance, but has knowledge that the performer(s) are independent contractors?
Does the UC have knowledge that an entity is acting as an agent for an individual performer?
Does the UC have knowledge that the entity is owned and/or controlled by the performer?
Once the beneficial owner of the income is determined, then the performer must come to the US to perform the services on the appropriate US Visa, although the actual beneficial owner of the income is the one to complete the appropriate paperwork.
Copy of Visa Status Document (If visa status is not sponsored by UC, then individual must provide sufficient proof of payment eligibility by UC) Visa status must be reviewed by payroll to ensure eligibility.
B1/B2 - can only receive an honoraria payment. For performance to be considered honoraria the performer must adhere to the 9/5/6 rule, the performance must have academic/educational value, and no tickets should be sold.
Must have SSN/ITIN and complete form 8823 to be eligible for a tax treaty.
In the case of named performers in performance groups, the named performer will be considered the beneficial owner of the income and be required to complete the paperwork as "Performer;" the remaining performance members may be considered employees of the agent/company/entity and the entity will be required to complete the paperwork for "Agent/Company."
STEP 2 - ENSURE PERFORMER ENTER THE US UNDER THE PROPER US VISA.
Performance Fee: If the payment is determined to be a performance fee, individuals must come to the US under the correct visa. There are approximately 40 visa types an individual can enter the US under; however, there are only a few that would allow performances. There are some cases where individuals who are in the US under certain visa types which allow for unrestricted work authorization (J2), but these are rare cases. We will proceed with the assumption most individuals will be coming from outside of the US as non-residents for tax. Common visas for performers are O1/P1/P2/P3 (see above for required documents). Honoraria: If the payment is determined to be honoraria, individuals must come to the US under the correct visa, which is only a B1 or VWB. The performer must not have provided "services" for longer than 9 days at more than 5 institutions in the past 6 months i.e. the 9/5/6 rule.
Payroll Services will determine tax treaty eligibility. Payroll Services has the right (and requirement per IRS regulations) to not accept any tax treaty where we deem eligibility cannot be readily determined or if the facts provided do not clearly establish eligibility.
Must have SSN or ITIN to be tax treaty eligible.
Must be from a tax treaty eligible country.
Must adhere to the regulations of the tax treaty (i.e. maximum presence in the US; maximum amount of compensation). UC may request an additional statement from the performer to prove performer will not exceed time or dollar limit of the tax treaty.
Must fully complete form 8233.
Must have an EIN to be tax treaty eligible.

Solo pilgrims shalt not accept lifts from hot French guys.
Calais to Licques. The book says 58 Kms. That’s if you stay on course. I didn’t just “get lost” .. I was off the effing map.
First stop today, the markets in Calais. I managed to buy myself a banana and baguette without any help. I was a tad peckish post neglect yesterday.
Apart from getting seriously lost and stuffing around for far too long, the scenery was pleasant enough. My pack felt like someone had shoved concrete in it and getting offered a lift from a hot French guy almost made me fold. Not really. I’ll wait for George Clooney when I’m in Italy. Again I was wondering what I was going to do for the night. No campgrounds and no off track grassy knoll to hide away in. I knew if I could get to Licques early enough, there were two Benedictine Abbeys that accommodate pilgrims. Getting lost made sure I wasn’t there before 8 pm.
Well, as you have it, the bells were going off at Saint Paul Abbey as I went past, so I tried to break in. Nup. Nothing happening there. I probably would have had more luck if I’d been found in the chapel praying but it’s just not my gig.
Sweet dreams, tomorrow I will be cleansed of lossdom.

On the far right where the Batiscan River flows into the St Lawrence River one sees a land concession belonging to a St Marc. This land belonged to Louis Guillet dit St Mars. It still belongs in the family!!
Louis Guillet was born in Trois Rivières on June 4th 1657. He was the sixth child, second son of Pierre Guillet dit Lajeunesse and Jeanne Saint Pere. In 1660 at the age of 3, Louis received from his godfather, Claude Houssard dit le petit Claude a donation of 50 pounds. Claude was the husband of Madeleine Couteau, his maternal grandmother. Louis spent his early years at Cap de la Madeleine. In 1666, his father obtained one of the first land concessions in the Batiscan River valley.
At the age of 13 on February 25th 1671 (notary - Jean Cusson), he obtained, with his father, land on Cote Saint-Marc. Louis and his older brother Mathurin acquired land in Batiscan on May 7th 1682. On January 21th 1686, he purchased on his own, more land here. At the age of 27, he married Marie Trottier on January 18th 1684 in the church of Saint Francois Xavier of Batiscan. She was the daughter of Jean Baptiste Trottier and Genevieve de Lafond.
Ten years later he started in the fur business with his brother, Mathurin and other associates. He travelled to the Outaouais and the Abitibis and according to one source also delivered merchandise in Martinique in the Carribeans. On June 13th 1695 the "Compagnie Royale" was formed. Its mandate was to trade with the Native tribes in the Abitibi, Témiscamingue region. Among the company were Jean-Baptiste Crevier dit Duvernay, Robert Rivard dit Loranger (married to Louis's sister, Madeleine), Jean Trottier, Jean Baribault , Jean Desrosiers dit Dutremble and Louis Guillet. Four months later on October 15th he sold his partnership rights to his uncle, Nicolas Rivard dit Lavigne.
Louis took the name of St Marc in 1692 and St Mars in 1718.
When his father passed away, his stepmother, Madeleine Delausnais transferred on July 7th 1698 an annual income from the inheritance to Louis. In October of the same year Louis transferred an annual income of his brother-in-law, Jean Baril, widower of his sister, Marie.
Louis and Marie spent their lives in Batiscan. All their children were born and baptized here.

This lets us know that the small chapel had an attic that was not actually used by the parishioners but was used as a storage area.
In 1724, Louis and Marie willed all their wordly goods to their children.
Louis Guillet dit St Mars passed away in Batiscan on March 6th 1730 at the age of about 73. He was buried in the parish cemetery. On May 12th 1739 Marie, in the presence of the notary Pollet, dictated a will. She asked that her son, Jean Baptiste be responsible for 50 masses to be given for the repose of her soul. He should inherit her household goods. Her son, Joseph Guillet, Captain of the Militia for Batiscan was named executor of the will. Marie was unable to sign due to a hand injury. She died a month later on June 24th 1739 and was buried with Louis.

Priests who are on a special journey.
Let’s make it crystal clear at the very beginning: we never force any adult to take any decision. It’s up to the person to walk in the direction he wishes to discover. On the other hand, we are never going to promote clandestine relationships between priests and women. We firmly believe that the amount of stress, risks and guilt feelings are too much for both the woman and the priest in order to lead a hidden life. It is not ethical that while the priest preaches to others what to do, he himself lives a lie.
On the hand, let’s discuss openly and give some common directions to priests who are walking in this unique and particular journey. Falling in love is not a sin. Can we put it into the priest’s soul? We know that the priest has been brainwashed for many years with the mentality that love and priesthood are not compatible. Talking with other priests seem to be worse as most of them will force the priest to abandon the golden relationship with this special friend. It seems that they don’t have any doubts or second thoughts. It’s another alarm which sounds quite aloud as some persons seem to have all the answers in the world…for others! Yet some simple questions will paint the situation rather accurate: did they ever experience love? Did they ever communicate with another person on a special level? Most of them find refuge behind a wall of denial and copied truths which were handed down without ever being questioned.
What is this sudden love urge for one single person? Why is this person so special? Why did it enter into his locked up heart? How was the priest living his relationship with God? Was he successful in building mature relationships with other adults? What is God trying to say to the priest? It’s a wake up call. Obviously these questions have to be answered individually and personally. We cannot photocopy answers as each priest has to give his own particular answer!
The crisis in the spiritual life is not a negative experience. It’s the call for growth. God does not leave us in the same situation for long. Life itself changes many times. We have to face some new challenges. Sometimes the challenges will help us get out of a stagnant life.
The priest can decide that the challenge is too much. He might feel at odds with such challenge. In that case, one should at least be open and sincere with the woman concerned and not leave her hanging on for ever! It’s cruelty if one leaves the other partner in a permanent limbo! On the other hand, the fire that started to burn in his heart, should be listened to in order to start a fire in all his pastoral work. His out of the blues love relationship was not superficial. He has to translate the same enthusiasm and sparkle in his work.
In the case that the priest is doubtful about his work in the church or is at odds with the teaching of the church, he has to resolve the case. Either he believes in his work within the church, or else steps aside in order to find power, energy and spiritual growth in his life.
Stepping aside might lead to new, convincing answers ie. a mature growth in his faith. He might continue as a priest with a new energy. If not, he has to decide that he can’t live a lie and to walk in a different path.
What’s new in all our opinions, is that going for a married life does not mean that one has lost his faith and neither that he has acted like Judas who kissed Jesus for hidden motives! It means that one has to live his faith with a new pair of eyes: that of a married priest. It will help one to revise all the teaching one has received since childhood! We know that this is actually a revolution in one’s life. But this is what is needed in the church of today. If the experience of a married priest becomes worldwide, all the theological writings will have to be edited! Like a snake who has shed his old skin, all things will come alive in the new church.
It’s an old/new way to present priesthood. It’s old, because most of the apostles were married and so were some of the popes! New, because around 1000 years ago, Roman Catholic Priests stopped getting married!
Without being hurtful to the church, we do notice that most of the young people will never step inside a church unless they see the face of the humanity in it! Seeing the priests getting married and facing most common everyday challenges will help them realise that they are not far away from the kingdom of God! Let’s face it, in most European countries [with some exceptions), churches have become empty spaces! Are we happy to see the church die?
One final note. Christmas reminds us that a woman (Virgin Mary) brought the human and frail child to this world. Do we need women to revive our religion today? Married priests is another step which brings recognition to the hidden work done by many women who are the backbone of our religion, but who are not at the centre of publicity! Like Mary, they bring forth a new child to the world!
We’ve been gaining experience for these last 21 years in our marrried priests’ movement! We have come to a point where we can be in a better position to help both the priest and the woman who are in love.
One of the aspects which has been built on, is the number of tips given to women in order to understand better their position. We are not abandoning the priest neither, but this time we’re giving out some practical guidelines to the women out there!
We insist that a relationship starts very early when most probably both persons are not aware of some dynamics going on! It happens in all the world and in all countries, but we’re trying to help the woman notice that the red bulb is lit! The fact that people meet, relationships are formed, with or without our knowledge! Now as the saying goes, it takes two to tango! The starting up might be totally innocent or innocuous, but the continuing needs both sides of the relationship! At one moment they will realise that things have gone too far and a decision is needed. We’re of the opinion that until that moment comes, one could avoid all heart breaking and other damages by being alert to many ‘hidden’ signals.
As usual we’re asking for some help from our readers to add, delete or comment about the coming lines.
Now is the time for married priests!
The signs of the times are calling for married priests in the Roman Catholic church. It’s not far fetched but we do feel that the wind is blowing in that direction. On the other hand, we are standing on the ground and not flying too high. It’s not going to be an easy change. This is because for various reasons. One of them is, that many people want progress but nobody wants to change.
If the church really wants married priests, how are they going to call for vocations with the present circumstances? The church calls itself the expert in humanity. Yet, do workers in the church have the best conditions of work? Is the church ready to preach by example? How many married men are going to join the church with the present conditions? What type of hindrance keeps married men from joining priesthood? Can we alter something in order to attract the best possible candidates? The financial package is not to be forgotten, plus spiritual, humanistic and intellectual formation.
On the part of the laity, are they prepared to study theology and other studies to give a professional service to their parish? Studying means many years of studies. On the other hand one can’t have a course similar to the one provided for non-married priests where they can afford 6 to 7 years without gaining money. How can they receive married ones while maintaining the responsibility of the family?
What about the general reflection about the family? Are the married ones expected just to obey? Are we prepared to re-write the whole ‘relationship’ chapter in the theological studies from the point of view of married priests? Are these married priests to be given their right to give a unique feedback to the general church?
One of interesting debates is when married priests have teens themselves. Even when they preach to the congregation their own teens will be there! That means somebody who is trying to live the gospel. This week I met some families who are complaining that there teens are abandoning the Sunday Mass!! That would already be a tough challenge for married ones. Yet, the challenge itself could prove to be a witness to many other families!
Speaking about the teens, what about the women. Is the wife of the pastor going to be a silent spectator? Or is she going to get a significant role in the running of the parish? After all, like many other women she is the silent supporter of her husband’s work! She is the one to help him going on. She could be the voice of many other women who are still living in the periphery of the parish!
With all this in mind, it makes sense to call back all those priests who have left. Why? Because they have something which new candidates don’t have: experience! Once they were at the centre of activity in the parish. In these last years, they have lived their most difficult time of their lives. They know how one feels when one is discarded in society. That makes them better candidates to look at those in society who feel not welcomed anymore. Those discarded have always been an important part of the church. It’s the new generation which will form up the new church. It’s not a surprise that most married priests welcome all kinds of people who are in different phases of faith!
Priests today have a dark cloud above their heads owing to the sexual abuse crisis. Yet married priests could prove vital to thwart that conception of priesthood. This is another hidden asset of married priesthood which could link the church with the outside world once again.
The word argument might have a negative connotation for some people in some particular cultures. Well, many years ago it was the basic form of education in the old times (referring to Greek and Roman times). People used to bring the hearsay to ‘old’ people in order to hear their views about it.
We too can start from what the people say and think and take it up to the next level. We should show our way of presenting the argument.
One of the most famous (or infamous!) hearsay is that of sexual abuse which might happen if priests are not allowed to get married. We have to be extra careful how we present it as our adversaries might tell us that married people too abuse young children. But it doesn’t mean we have to drop this side of the argument. Let’s get deep down.
Both single and married people abuse children. That’s a fact. Nobody can deny it. But is it for the same reason? Now this is the side of the argument that most of them forget. Let’s give an example: stealing. A poor person might steal because it needs to. Does it mean that rich people don’t steal? No sir. They steal TOO. But they do it for a different reason.
The same with sexual abuse coming from unmarried priests. Yes the lack of sexual expression might lead to different forms of sicknesses. One of them is to reach out for young, inexperienced and virgin young boys and girls. This has been proved in many scientific studies. Just to mention a comparison it’s like somebody who is dying of hunger and sees the trash bin of somebody. Without thinking twice he would open it and eat the first food item found, forgetting about getting sick from such food! Yes some unmarried priests sometimes are craving for just a handshake! Most of them would like to have a sexual encounter in their deepest and hidden wishes. They are practically being crucified everyday! They simply go nuts when the perfume of a woman enters their office. This is the environment when sexual abuse of children takes place. No one can deny it! They can’t contain their sexual appetite and consequently they express it on the most vulnerable section of society – children!
Married people too abuse young and inexperienced young children. Again we emphasize, but it’s for a different reason.
We are not simply going to give permission to an abuser to get married in order to solve the problem! That would be complete nonsense!
But why are we asking for married priesthood then?
The first primary reason is the bible. How could we encourage people to read the bible and then go against the bible? Most of the apostles were married. How can we justify that our priests today go against the bible? If we start making excuses for not following the bible then all teaching will fall away!
Secondly, we firmly believe that a priest with a woman at his side would change his outlook on life, spirituality and philosophy of work completely. We can’t simply insist on the mentality that men alone are better qualified for the job. As time passes by, we notice that teens who are still coming to church, in most cases have a very active mum (in the religious sense)!! Mums, in many cases are doing a priest’s job by speaking about God to children and bringing Him alive to them. In many parishes, the contribution of women is often hidden. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not important!
Married priesthood is going to be the starting point of a new revolution where all the teaching of the church has to be: reflected on, shared, discussed and action taken upon! All this enveloped in an environment of prayer. Let’s not be afraid of the Holy Spirit who speaks in different times and in different ways though various and unexpected people!
Does anybody remember the story of Noah’s ark? If you have forgotten it then go to Genesis chapter 6 and read it!
Why do we start with this story? Well, some of our readers have been following this blog for quite a long time. I wish to say a big thank you. I’m really happy about it. It’s never an easy job to start a new community let alone an online one. Online-community has more challenges. We only meet through writing! It’s obvious that writing does not tell the whole story yet it is very crucial to communicate with each other. The fact that some people stayed here through writing is another hidden miracle!
A community is compared to Noah’s ark because we have several types of characters which is easily represented by the different types of species mentioned in the Bible. Some of them could be: there is the bee (busy person); elephant (somebody who thinks that he/she is the most powerful); the eagle (the one who sees far away); the horse (one who runs fast); the snail (the one who walks very slowly); the cow (a very generous person); skunk (a person who stinks – literally); chameleon (one who changes opinion in front of others!); monkey (one who takes advantage of others by climbing on their ‘backs’); the mouse (the one who works in the dark when others are not suspecting anything at all); the donkey (one who works a lot but most probably never gets a simple thank you) and many other animals.
Familiarity breeds contempt. It means that if one knows someone or something very well, one can easily become bored with them and stop treating them with respect. In other words, instead of respecting another person, knowing his/her week points, makes one treat others with disrespect! This is our phase at the moment where some readers are playing the part of God by judging others and using words to judge others. One can refuse to accept homosexuals but one cannot call them names or treat them with disrespect (just to mention one example).
I can mention an infinite number of private emails where some readers actually wanted to impose their opinion or values on our blog. They have called me names, judged me, tried to persuade me to delete some of the articles written. A few others tried to threaten me! Well I can write a whole book about adults behaving worse than children. Well, as I have experience with education, I know from first hand experience, that not all people would like to be taught notwithstanding all the buzz about the importance of education!!
One has to value one’s experience. It is one’s practical bible. God is telling something to somebody through his/her own experience. Therefore one has to value his/her own experience. Yet, it doesn’t mean that everybody has to come to the same conclusion! We cannot conclude that all priests are simply pulling women’s legs (although a large number do exactly that). There could be a unique story where love takes the right path and they get married! Why do we paint reality with a black colour? Or is it because we are still bitter about our own experience and we don’t like the idea that others could be more successful? In other words, are we jealous?
Others, surprisingly, think that whatever is being written on the blog, it’s done simply to tease them or to make them angry!! They are truly suspicious! A word of advice is never to mention names of other readers so there won’t be a direct reference – at least! If they are too sensitive, they should never write on a public forum!
I know as well that some people are still suffering from a past love experience with a priest. One can easily become bitter and tries to ‘bite’ other people! Maybe it’s time for such people to admit of having a problem and calling a professional counsellor who helps them to externalise what’s troubling them in a safe and positive way!
In the meantime, the ‘old’ readers can nurture or take care of new followers. The new ones will follow if what they read is ‘spiritually fit’ and helps them see God’s call in their private own lives. Please remember that the written word unlike the word which is spoken, remains there forever…even after your death! So please think before your write. If you’re angry, don’t write. Wait for sometime or a day or two.
In this case, as an editor of the blog, I would like to give the example of a captain on a ship. A captain should listen to what the sailors are saying, but finally it’s only him who has to decide. In a community too, somebody should serve the community by taking tough decisions. Now taking decisions means (sometimes) that some people are lost. This could be for various reasons but one of the most common one is that not everybody is trained to come to one conclusion whether one likes it or not. I do remember when I was in the friary, that trying to give voice to the people at first created more problems. Parishioners were invited to select the best time for mass. Well everybody gave a different time. There was no agreement. So we had to decide. Obviously those disagreeing with our decision said all sorts of words, but a community needs a decisive line of management after all. It’s like parents versus teens. Somebody has to decide whether you like it or not.
In any case, in Noah’s ark, all sorts of animals lived together! I’m not asking anybody to change his/her character, but to see everything from a different perspective – that of Noah’s ark. I will never ask somebody to leave (unless something really bad happens), but I would ask everybody to put on God’s glasses. Together we can make it. Yes all animals can live together if they have a strong community awareness. Let’s show and be that kind of community.
A priest-in-love writes to us!
Finally we have a priest who is speaking about his heart adventures!! Well, I’m not promising anyone that he is going to answer all questions or any questions at all. At least we can have a glimpse about how he seas this new person in his life. Maybe some day in the future he will continue to reveal more about his life in the parish. Obviously we are hiding his identity for practical purposes.
I’m Gabriel, a Catholic priest in my late 50s.
I was ordained when I was in my mid-20s.
I’m 5 foot 10 inches (1.8 metres) tall. I’m fit and lean: a testament to the control I use when choosing only clean living and what goes into my body.
I’m a busy Pastor where I spend 8-12 hours a week driving between my rural parishes and diocese offices. On my “day off” I enjoy swimming and video chatting with friends and family.
I’m a happy priest and I feel loved and admired by my parishioners: especially the seniors many of whom I have formed a close bond with. In fact, they love me so much that they petitioned the diocese to keep me in their parishes instead of moving the Pastor every 2 years as is the norm in my diocese. I’ve been there for nearly 7 years now.
I thrive on the predictability of my daily life as a Pastor. I like to be in control of my world and refers to myself as “somewhat of a control freak”, though I’m very careful to never try to exert control over others.
I would like to share with you about something which happened today that shook my inner self.
Today I saw a woman. She is new, but somehow seems familiar. There is something about her. Something that draws me in and is enticingly frightening, Like I’m playing with fire and want to get burned.
Something. I can’t put my finger on it.
She has this sadness in her eyes. Those eyes, big, beautiful and brooding. Sad, but sparkling – How does that work?? She looks healthy enough but yet seems frail and fragile.
She is wearing makeup. Why? to cover something up? Not some physical imperfection, but something else that she doesn’t want the world to see? I imagine her with no makeup. Freshly showered, clean, hair wet. Oh no, don’t go there!. I’m immediately trying to guess her age. Young, too young. I guess about 15 years younger than me. My brain starts arguing with itself – Too young for what exactly? Stop it you fool!
I introduce myself. I don’t even know what I said, in all probability something absurd, because for some reason, I’m not thinking clearly. I wonder if she thinks I’m examining her a little too closely so I avert my gaze towards the other parishioners, only to look back to find that she is still looking at me. Now I’m embarrassed. Do I look okay? Is my hair messed up? Can she see into my soul? Okay, gain your composure. Act professional. You’re not a teenager! What is wrong with me? I’m sure she thought I’m an idiot. Oh no, I feel like I’m staring. What in the world is happening here? I shake her hand and somehow my other hand comes up and I have her hand in both of mine now. I think probably that’s a little too friendly too soon but I’m committed now and I blurt out “I hope to see you again – WE hope to see you again”. She thanks me and leaves and I have to consciously remind myself not to watch her walk all the way through the welcoming area and out the door.
You’re acting like a fool Father. Don’t feel much like a “Father” right now.
I go back to the elder I was speaking to before who immediately says “She’s lovely isn’t she?” Oh my Lord. What an imbecile I am. Now I’ve embarrassed myself twice already in a span of about 2 minutes. I don’t answer and try to resume the conversation we were having before my brain and my heart decided to go their separate ways. But I can’t focus and feel the need to find quiet and solitude. Nevertheless, I carry on with all the necessaries and all the niceties I’m on cruise control, robotic. All the while I want to bolt to the parking lot in case I can catch another glimpse of her.
I should have asked the elder who she is. She seemed to know her. No, that would be a huge mistake. Oh well, it’s too late now.
Why am I so out of control? Why do I not feel like a priest right now? I’m feeling guilty already. Why? Have I done something wrong? Maybe I should talk to someone. No, I don’t want to do that either. I’m probably reading way too much into this.
I find myself praying that she comes back again but I feel thrown off. Maybe I don’t want her to come back. God help me. What is happening? I feel unsettled.
A missed opportunity, or perhaps I dodged a bullet.
I spend the rest of the day trying to get her out of my mind and trying to determine whether I am happy that I met her or not. And to regain my confidence which is inexplicably shaken.
Our schools rarely cater for such need for students in order to be educated in emotions. We all think about academic achievements, yet the students in front of the teacher come to school with a luggage of emotions!
Now what about priests? They rarely receive any education whatsoever when it comes to emotions. Why are we surprised that they run away when they fall in love or because they give the cold and hot attitude to a person who cares so much for them?
There are various websites which could help our readers to get some basic knowledge when dealing with emotional intelligence. One can just use a search engine to get some interesting reading.
In the meantime let’s continue debating…..priests should be helped to make them aware of emotions especially when they are attracted to somebody. First of all they need to find the assurance that nobody is going to report them to the bishop because of such feelings! Secondly they come to terms with the fact that finding attractive people is part and parcel of life. We meet people all the time, some are too busy, some are arrogant, some live on the moon but some are so attractive. There is always a reason why meet such people.
Once they acknowledge their true feelings, they can start working on them. Now, how can we go on with these feelings? We are not implying or forcing anybody to go and fall in love. But such experience could reveal a lot about the priest. One of them is the lack of friends. We mean friends who don’t look for the priest simply to find the perfect man but who can be himself and speak about his heart calmly and without fear. The priest works a lot for the others. But who takes care of him?
Another aspect which hinders the priest’s progress in emotional maturity is his position in the parish. The fact that he is the boss, he doesn’t need to convince anybody to press on with his arguments. He doesn’t need to listen to his parishioners! Nowadays most priests are simply buried with the parish work that they don’t have time to do family visiting. They don’t have time to meet some forgotten areas or difficult areas in the parish! In most of the time he is not challenged by the young teens because they stopped attending church!
Conflict is a good indicator of one’s emotional maturity! How does the priest react when facing opposition?
In other words, the priest, living on his own is simply detached from our ‘normal’ life where we are challenged in our work by our superiors or by clients or by new companies. Or where we get hurt by other people’s comments or behaviour! Just the other day I was at the seaside and an angry woman just threw a chair out of its way…..it’s a classical example of how people need to be educated in emotions. Whatever reason she had, we simply don’t throw chairs just because somebody doesn’t agree with us or maybe he or she behaved badly! If we start throwing chairs then it will be a war not a civilisation anymore!
The emotional test will be very challenging with the people we love most. One is because we live together or we see each other most of the time ie the more we see each other the better chances of hurting each other. Secondly because we expect much more from our loved ones. Our expectations are so high with people we admire and love. Consequently we are in a better position to be disappointed!
It’s up to the readers to continue our discussion…..
Relationships between women and priests have always been clandestine. It’s never an easy subject to discuss. Most people prefer secrecy. But another aspect which we have never discussed is the issue of the effect of making love – children.
Priests are more likely to have children as they are not experienced in birth control methods. Besides their love making is hidden and done quickly.
Maybe hiding a love relationship between adults is one thing, but hiding from children is totally devastating! How can a father not see, caress, accompany, play and spend time with his child?
That is why we’ve been against secrecy from day one. Once everything is covered in great secrecy, one can expect that lateral secrets will be kept under great scrutiny from the Catholic Church.
Speaking about the truth will make everybody free. Yet in some quarters in the Catholic Church they still prefer to keep a lid on all secrets. It has taken some victims great courage to come forward and tell their hidden stories.
Obviously some of them were looked upon like sinners. They were given all sorts of names. But those seeking the truth listened to their incredible stories.
The best part of it is that children are a living proof of the love between the woman and the priest. On the other hand, when they’ll discover who their true father is, they realise that they have been robbed of a normal life. They can’t tell who their true father was. Most probably they have been taught to lie. Like in real life all lies come to an end one day or another. Yet this time the child is practically left without a trail. He/she would like to know her father, yet secrecy and contradictory reports prevent all this.
Besides the story of the hidden father, the church fails its people as it goes against its fundamental moral teaching. He who is a paternal father should be held responsible and make sure of helping the mother. This not only on financial matters but rather in giving support to the mother and by being present in the child’s life. One cannot simply tell the mother to go and hide herself!
In some cases, the priest tried in a private manner to convince the woman to have an abortion in order to hide his adventure. In some cases, the woman died as they were conducting abortion in clinics which were not up-to-standard, by they promised anonymity.
It all shows that some members of the church go to great heights in order to cover these secrets. Yet somebody has to speak out in order to denounce the ugly face of celibacy when it is forced on priests!
Now people who are not afraid to speak out would be helping the church in keeping her secrets hidden from the common people. In fact when they force people to shut up, it means that they are afraid! We are the ones who should feel proud because we are helping the church to come out and be transparent. It will be more Christ like but less of an institution.
We are proud on this blog that together with readers we’re uncovering some of the secrets held by priests who try to gag women. Others become very violent or life threatening to the woman they made love with!
Please help us by publishing your story to prove that the effects of forced celibacy are not light and they are not ‘just a few of them’.

Ahmad Shah Massoud, a renowned guerrilla fighter of his generation, left behind a mixed legacy after his death on September 9, 2001. A moderate amongst the leaders of jihad who grew extremer every day, few close to him would question the personal dignity of the commander. His humanity remained intact despite being devoured by the beast of war for more than half of his life. However, what taints his legacy is the involvement of his men in the darkest period of Afghanistan’s history—or Kabul’s history, rather.
The period I speak of is the years between 1991 and 1996, when the government of Dr. Najib was toppled and the Mujahideen moved into Kabul. As their eminent victory over Najib’s government neared after the Soviets withdrew their military power, the Mujahideen grew progressively divided. At the heart of their disputes was the structure of the future government that would move into Kabul. How would the power be divided? And more importantly, who will move into the mouth-watering presidential palace?
As the various factions tightened the noose around Kabul, Najib offered to step down. His attempts to ensure a smooth transition did not reach anywhere for no one listens to the demands of a leader on verge of demise. The country was at the mercy of the handful jihadi leaders who bargained behind closed doors in Peshawer. Pakistani agents sat at the head of the table, trying to broker a deal.
Massoud himself did not have any ambitions of becoming president, that is one certainty of the matter. He was a king-maker and his word carried a lot of weight, but he had never shown any desire for the seat. He repeatedly said that he had left the issue of leadership of the country to the elders. However, it was his rivalry with Gulbuddin Hikmatyar, a fellow engineering classmate in his younger days, that eventually turned Kabul into the bloodiest killing-ground.
The commanders had delayed an immediate entry into Kabul until a political agreement was reached by the different leaders in Pakistan. A sudden entry would bring chaos in the city, it was said. But Hikmatyar grew restless of the negotiations, and felt that nothing was being achieved. He wanted to move in immediately and claim the ultimate prize for the Mujahideen: the presidential palace. But there was no longer such a thing as the mujahideen. The language used was one of ahzab, or parties, factions. Hikmatyar’s entry meant a victory for his faction, not for all. And Massoud vehemently warned against such an entry. He tried to convince Hikmatyar that he should wait, pending the results of the negotiations in Peshawer. But Hekmatyar would have none of it. So Massoud declared that he would “defend the people of Kabul, the man, women, children, and elderly of Kabul.” And so began the darkest period in history.
For close to five years, until Taliban emerged from the South to rid them all and corner Massoud into Panjsher, Kabul burned in a hellish civil war. The small city was divided up into numerous kingdoms, with a throne on every street. Hikmatyar fired mortars from one end, Charasyab, and Massoud responded from the other, Koh e Telvision. In between, Kabul was looted, raped, and burned until it turned into a ghost-town.
Any warrior, whether he likes it or not, will have blood on his hands. Massoud is no different. His image, as Afghans see it now, has splashes of blood over it. Whether he pierced his own dagger and drew that blood is questionable. Did he have men under his command who caused tremendous bloodshed? That is a harsh certainty.
But Ahmad Shah Massoud stands out for one characteristic that many life-long warriors lose in the face of war: the ability to maintain a concerned, moderate, human heart. At every moment of his life, in every speech, in every gesture, Massoud gave the vibe that he had risen from the people, that his struggle was for the people, and that he was firm on the principles of his struggle.
From what his friends and those close to him recall, one gets a sense that Massoud was a man firm on upholding his principles at all times. In time of peace, that is an easy task. But when you are cornered into a ditch for years and your enemy threatens to destroy you every moment, it takes an extraordinary man to stay firm, to stay true, and to maintain a kind heart.
We were in Kabul. A professor at Kabul university came to Massoud and complained that his daughter had been taken by the son of a commander. Massoud ordered Fahim [his intelligence chief at the time, the current Vice President of Afganistan] to return the girl to his father at any cost. In fact, Massoud said he would not eat until the girl was returned to his father. Fahim said that the case would get messy, it could ignite fighting. The boy’s father had lots of armed men. Massoud replied that the honor of the professor and his daughter was everything to him. She should be returned at any cost.
I joined Massoud at a gathering in Takhar. My entry into the room had interrupted his conversation with one of his commanders. After greeting me, he turned to the commander and asked him to please continue.
Later, Massoud refused to have a bite of the deer meat they had brought him as a delicacy.
Massoud, on many times, reminisced about his student days. The man had gone through a lot, but he still remembered his days at the lyce Istiqlal as the best days of his life, where he played soccer and prepared to join the engineering faculty at Kabul Polytechnic. His first two years of university, too, he recalled with nostalgia. He had been very focused on his studies, very excited about becoming an architect. But the communist revolution in Afghanistan changed everything for him, turning him into a life-long warrior.
One only wonders how good an architect Massoud would have become had there been no war.
This is the second and final part of a two-part serines on Massoud and his legacy.

One of the animals was a Rhamphohynchoid (“beak-snouted”) pterosaur. Enough survived to show it had a long tail with a diamond-shaped ‘paddle’ at the end. Its head, which unlike modern birds was in line with its neck, displayed up to ten pairs of teeth in its upper jaw and as much as seven in the lower. The wings, which were stiffened with struts of gristle, had a span of at least 1.75 metres. Traces of the fine fur covering it were rust-coloured, a very rare survival when prehistoric patterning and hue remain largely unknown.
This beast is tentatively identified as Rhamphohynchoidea snowdoniensis, and the authors contrast aspects of it with the famous Early Jurassic Dimorphodon found in Lyme Regis by Mary Anning in 1828, with a wingspan of just 1.4 metres. For comparison the earliest pterosaurs date from the Late Triassic (210 mya) while the latest — giants with 5-metre wingspans found in the New World — from the Early Cretaceous (say, 120 mya).
The second beast is a Pterodactyloid pterosaur and is distinguished by its short tail and long bird-like neck. With a wingspan of up to 2.5 metres it is marginally larger than its companion. Some of its furry covering appears to have been a dirty cream, further distinguishing it from its neighbour. The authors have given the pterodactyl (“finger-wing”) an as yet unratified classification of Pterodactyloidea loegriensis.
This recent paper doesn’t seem yet to have created waves in the mass media, but it can only be a matter of time. I can’t comment on the detailed scientific data and analysis (the tables, notes and bibliography take up more than two-thirds of the text) but I did note some brief if dismissive references to the 9th-century Historia Brittonum and the 12th-century native tale known as Lludd and Lefelys, about which I do know a little.
The authors also write disparagingly about certain cryptozoologists who’d commented early on in the local press, but I’ve not been able to locate these precise sources (though such sources do exist, for example here). Nor have I been able to find out much else about the authors, but Vaughan and Gough apparently collaborated on a long-term study of a type of short-lived seasonal affective disorder — a sufferer from which is, incidentally, known in Wales as ffwl Ebrill — known to flare up over 24 hours or less before subsiding.
A late entry for Dewithon, the Wales Readathon, which runs through the month beginning March 1st, the feast day of David, patron saint of Wales.
Nicely done. I’ve read it twice, just to make sure I’ve taken in all the details, and I’m hoping there will be a book following this paper!
Glad you twigged, Paula! I had great fun putting it together.
Didn’t twig until the ffwl Ebrill disorder! Gwych!
Wasn’t familiar with the Lludd & Llefelys tale.
‘Lludd and Llefelys’ has a variation on the combat between the red and white dragons that Geoffrey of Monmouth introduced into his Merlin stories and located at Dinas Emrys. As a parallel between the conflict between Brythonic and Anglo-Saxon cultures it was as symbolic as they come!

The weather has been cooling down considerably over the last few weeks, but I’m still posting stragglers from late September – early October, so please bear with me through some very unseasonal outfits.
Anyway, this outfit looks like it’s been matched very carefully, right? The eyelets on my top match the plaid on my pants, and the blue pendant matches the blue loafers. The truth, though, is that I put almost no thoughts into it at all, other than, “Oh yeah, those will go together.” It’s one of those outfits that just came about naturally, which goes to show, sometimes it’s best to go with your instincts and not to overthink it.
Though I wear a lot of preppy things – button-up shirts, stripes, loafers, oxfords, etc. – I never describe my style as “preppy”. To be honest, I find preppy style a bit boring, and I’d like to think my style is more eclectic than that (which is another way of saying I don’t like to confine myself to a rigidly defined “style”; I just wear whatever the hell I want). However, occasionally I do put together a pretty straightforward preppy outfit, like this one. I mean, all that’s missing is a pearl necklace, right?
So 2/3 of this outfit are actually hand-me-downs from my sister – only the jeans are mine originally. That’s the perk of having a sister who likes shopping, is the same size as you, and has more or less the same taste as you do. Though I have to say, her preference for V-neck white button-ups is inexplicable. I don’t like V-neck tops that much, yet she tried to pass another one to me when she gave me this pair of loafers. I refused, because I already have one, which, of course, also came from her. But I have an inexplicable preference for blue plaid button-ups too, so who I am to talk, right?

The Day the Purpose of College Changed: What was the impact on CS Education?
The article linked below makes the argument that then-Governor Ronald Reagan changed perception higher education in the United States when he said on February 28, 1967 that the purpose of higher education was jobs, not “intellectual curiosity.” The author presents evidence that date marks a turning point in how Americans thought about higher education.
Most of CS education came after that date, and the focus in CS Education has always been jobs and meeting industry needs. Could CS Education been different if it had started before that date? Might we have had a CS education that was more like a liberal education? This is an issue for me since I teach mostly liberal arts students, and I believe that computing education is important for giving people powerful new tools for expression and thought. I wonder if the focus on tech jobs is why it’s been hard to establish computing requirements in universities (as I argued in this Blog@CACM post). If the purpose of computing education in post-Reagan higher education is about jobs, not about enhancing people’s lives, and most higher-education students aren’t going to become programmers, then it doesn’t make sense to teach everyone programming.
The Chronicle of Higher Education ran a similar piece on research (see post here). Research today is about “grand challenges,” not about Reagan’s “intellectual curiosity.” It’s structured, and it’s focused. The Chronicle piece argues that some of these structured and focused efforts at the Gates Foundation were more successful at basic research than they were at achieving the project goals.

An interesting excursion into the history of computing. One of the first two PhD’s in Computer Science in the United States went to a female and a member of a religious order! I would never have guessed.
But at virtually the same time in June 1965, two other degrees were completed: Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, BVM, earned a Ph.D. from the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin, and Irving C. Tang earned a D.Sc. from the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Washington University in St. Louis. The purpose of this article is to show that in the United States, Keller and Tang were not just earlier but also first, thereby providing a more accurate historical record.

Letting Go. These two words,we heard a lot ,we said a lot ,but never really done it.At some point or the other,we all have wished there were a memory card in all of our brains, so that whenever something bad comes up ,you can immediately delete it.
BUT IS IT WHAT WE REALLY WANT?
Whenever we say about moving on or letting go of someone or something, there is a still a little part of you who actually doesn’t want to. Which is FINE. We constantly torment ourselves mentally for the things which we can’t control .
It is COMPLETELY FINE if its hard. Its completely fine if you can’t move on in one go, because NO ONE IN THIS WORLD REALLY DOES. Be happy you haven’t got the memory card. Having cheerful and disturbing memories makes you who you are. Carry both the babies , give equal importance to each. You throw away the sad one , you get yourself in the world of delusions and sheer imaginations.
But there is just one difference. Never hold on to the sad one for too long.Let it free and roam around, learn from it , make yourself better, march forward towards your next goal.
You would hear about people attending psychiatrists and psychologists to get their head cleared out of depression or almost depressions. On some people this works and on some people doesn’t. Why do you think they feel light after attending their sessions?
Those guys don’t have wands or magic spells that could work on you. They don’t provide you instant anti-depressant potions. The only thing they do is listen carefully and then present you the reality. They just make a difference between how you see the world and how the world actually is.
SO, instead of wearing your mind out by continuously trying to moving on or letting go, just accept it what it is, carry yourself forward and have a real story to tell to the mini-yous.

Yara Jewelry has recently launched their first branch at Symphony mall and I got to pass by and take a look at the diamond masterpieces they have in store. Specializing in diamond jewelry and watches , they definitely stand out from the crowd in their industry! Amazing designs, super elegant, simple. yet breathtaking is not enough to describe their pieces.
I obviously love diamonds, but I always faced a problem when looking to buy it. It’s like I never find what I’m looking for, but this boutique changed my mind and blew me away.
I love making statement with my outfit, or jewelry, however I don’t like it to be too loud and busy; simplicity is key, and to me I fell in love with this huge, perfectly-cut, diamond was my absolute favorite! Not that I didn’t love everything else, but I just know it’s so hard to find the perfect diamond, and I did.
You can personalize these to fit the writing you’d like, with diamonds! Would make a beautiful present for valentine’s, since it’s coming up soon.
They also have three lines of diamond watches, Franck Muller, Backes and Strauss, and Cvstos; beauty is an understatement! So royal and so rich in history.
Yara Jewelry is located in Salmiya, Salem Al Mubarak st, Symphony Mall.
Yesterday was the soft opening of Event in White, a new bridal store where you can be your own kind of beautiful bride.
I absolutely loved the way the model wore her veil, It’s magically gorgeous!
The place would make a very cozy experience for a bride-to-be to choose her wedding gown with her mother and close friends, and they offer a good range of wedding dresses as well.
And of course, a wedding reception-like mini canape buffet for the occasion.
Although it took place after I got married last year, I still enjoyed it..Very feminine! looking forward to a re-run!
Remember couple of days ago, when I said Kim Kardashian’s wedding details will all be featured in People Magazine upcoming issue?
Look 1: Ivory ballgown with full tulle skirt, basque waist, and hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on bodice and train.
Look 2: Ivory georgette mermaid gown with hand pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on bodice. Skirt has hand cut organza petals intermixed with Chantilly lace motifs and organza sprig embroidery.
Look 3: Ivory bias-cut crepe back satin gown with V-neck and circle skirt.
Leaked Photos: Kim K Wedding Look!
I’ve been desperately waiting to see a glimpse of the infamous Kris Humphries & Kim Kardashian wedding! The couple finally got married just 2 days ago, and no pictures have been officially releases yet! However, I received these 2 leaked pictures of Kimmy’s look..So now you can get an idea until someone else manages to leak some more 😛 I think she looked gorgeous!
Super Model Kate Moss tied the knot with rocker Jamie Hince after the couple first got together in 2007..Kate wore a custom-made wedding dress by John Galliano that featured sheer panels and was covered in sparkle..Starting below the hip, the rest of the dress had a glittery pattern that gets more dense toward the bottom.
I really like Kate Moss..she’s one of my top 5 super models of all times..But his dress I just don’t understand..I don’t like it one bit, I think it makes her look flat and shapeless..And that sheer part on her legs?? Nope..Too gipsy for my taste..She could have worn something way more flattering..

Sakura and Tomoyo go to the University where Sakura's father teaches to visit him and bring him a snack because he has been working so hard to prepare for an upcoming convention. They encounter some of his student assistants, who give them a tour of their department. As they talk to Fujitaka in his office, he suddenly falls asleep. Taking this to mean he isn't getting enough sleep, they go to get coffee for him and his assistants. When they return, he is out of his office so they take it to the students first. When they walk into their workroom, most of them are asleep. The remaining awake student falls asleep before their eyes.
Kero-chan feels the presenc of a Clow Card in the room. Moments later, he sees a tiny blue form duck into a bookshelf. It is The Sleep, which of course causes people to fall asleep.
Just after Tomoyo expresses distress over not having brought a new costume for Sakura, The Sleep attacks her and she passes out. Sakura and Kero just barely manage to dodge the card and it flies past them. They chase it down the hall and into Fujitaka's office, where it manages to make Kero-chan fall asleep. Using windy to keep the card in the room, Sakura uses jump and springs to where the card is trapped to turn it to the proper form.
Once the card has been captured, everyone affected by its power awakens.
To make people fall asleep.

But watermelon is most famously known for it’s rich lycopene content, which is even higher than tomatoes.
Tabbouleh is a refreshing Arab dish traditionally made of bulgur or couscous, tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint, onion, mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Couscous is made of grain and is acid-forming. Here is a great alkaline twist on the traditional tabbouleh recipe using millet. Quinoa also makes a great alkaline substitution.
“In a medium sauce pan bring water to boil, add millet and then reduce heat to low, simmering with lid on for 18-20 mins.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice and crushed garlic and allow to stand. Meanwhile chop veggies as per above descriptions and place in a large bowl.
Add millet when it is completely cool and then pour dressing over mixture and toss well seasoning with sea salt to taste.

Phil Mickelson made his first start this weekend on the PGA Tour since the U.S. Open at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, and finished 1-under par.
While he was never really in contention at The Greenbrier, all eyes were on the lefty after his rule-breaking debacle at the U.S. Open nearly a month ago when he hit his ball while it was still moving on the green out of frustration.
Mickelson had a brush with the rules again on Sunday — though this time he called himself on it, assessing a two-stroke penalty on an obscure rule that even the announcers didn’t notice at first.
Mickelson had teed up his ball in the tee box on No. 7 on Sunday at The Old White TPC, and was getting ready to hit. He saw some errant grass sticking up ahead of his ball, and naturally went to go pat it down with his foot.
It’s a move every golfer has done at some point in his or her career. Why not quickly move the grass out of the way so the ball doesn’t hit it?
According to United States Golf Association Rule 13-2, though, that’s a violation of the rules.
By that definition, Mickelson did violate the rule.
Perhaps the most impressive thing on Sunday, though, is that Mickelson recognized the rule violation himself — even though nobody else did and likely wouldn’t have ever called him on it.
In reality, the penalty didn’t change much. The leaders started out Sunday’s final round 13-strokes ahead of where Mickelson finished anyways.
He did, though, handle the rule violation much better than he did at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.

Australian juggalos rejoice! Insane Clown Posse have announced that they’ll be bringing their annual music festival to Australia in 2015.
For those of you who don’t already know your ‘Faygo Showers’ from your Spazmatic, the Gathering Of The Juggalos is the masked Detroit rap duo’s very own music event-come-‘tribal Woodstock’, which sees the twosome’s enormous cult fan following (or gangs,according to the FBi) uniting for several days of live music and mayhem. And it’s making its way Down Under next year.
The news comes direct from the mouth of ICP’s Violent J, who revealed their plans during a 42-minute seminar at the recent Gathering Of The Juggalos in Legend Valley, Ohio, as TheMusic reports.
“In the year 2015, which according to my Gucci watch is next year … Psychopathic Records will be putting on a mini-Gathering of sorts in the country of Australia,” declares Violent J (at the 12.30 min mark of the video below).
TILA Tequila first interview about juggalos -TALKS FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT JUGGALOS ATTACK!
Tila Tequila calls the gathering of the juggalos ,unorganized and violent,as soon as he got there juggalos were following her car,and unless you are part of physcopathic you got no trailer . Tila was psuhed into icps trailer by security ,due to the crowed getting violent before the show. Physopathic and event staff told her juggalos were going to attack then staff told promoter to not let her go on. Tila tequila told icp it is not ok for fans to do this so Violent j and shaggy 2 dope gave juggalo warnings at a meeting then begged tila to do a song and just get out there .
However when tila tequila got on stage she knew what would happen , got confetti spary and was going to spray some and make a joke but tila tequia got pelted with items as soon as she got on , fecese and urine was thrown , face hit with stone – juggalos were not there to boo they were “juggalo monsters” – angry and violent – not there to embarrass her , but to hurt her.
Regarding the legal charges to be pressed against ICP and psychopathic records – Alec Bakeman her lawyer has got witnesses ready and they are ready for a case , however tila hopes that this is the last gathering of the juggalos , she then shows her scars .
We hope this is the last gathering as well Tila and your brave case has the jugglo holocausts loyal support.
