Dear Sail Readers,
Here we start a new month with another issue of Sail Magazine, and yet again, we have two new introductions to the magazine, in an effort to keep growing the magazine and diversify its topics further.
Our first addition to Sail comes in the form of a new advisory board member, Aida AlBusaidy. Aida with her background in journalism, corporate communication, PR, and social media; she will be advising on the monthly content and help cultivate the magazine further.
The second introduction for this month is a new column named "To The Point", written by Mohammed Kazim. Mohammed's column aims to openly and honestly target issues around the native culture, society, religion, economy, and policy that have resulted as a consequence of the constantly changing demographics of the region. The column is characterized by a point-like articulate approach that gives the reader a comprehensive understanding of the discussed issues. I hope you enjoy his column as much as I did.
So without further due, here are this issue's columns by Sail team:
- Interview: We interviewed Wael Al Sayegh; owner of AlGhaf intercultural intelligence consultancy, a poet, a martial arts expert, and much more. In this issue we are publishing the first part of the interview on his personal life and the start of his career.
- Just Another Undergrad: Fatma Bujsaim talks about the problem we face both in high school and university: the mind blockage and lack of the ideas flow.
- Living Through The Eyes of Art: Hamda Al Hashemi writes how Dubai is growing and changing day by day, but how there are some things that should be preserved.
- Scenes From Life: Rawan Albina explains the idea of deep conversations, and how can you have one.
- To The Point: Mohammed Kazim discusses the phenomenon of tribalism in marriage and its consequences on the society.
- Words, Observations, and Ramblings: Reem Abdalla writes about franchising and give insights on the increase of franchising in the UAE in specific.
- Spotlights: Derek Sivers talks about the importance of keeping your dreams for yourself.

Allied Energy, Inc. announced that it has built 2.2 miles of road and the drill-site location in preparation of drilling its initial horizontal test location in the historic "Giddings Field Area" of East Texas.
The proposed horizontal location is a direct PUD, Proved Undeveloped, offset location to the Apache Corporation Butaud #1 Well located in Grimes County, Texas that was completed in March 2009 and tested and reported at 4,833 MCFD (thousand cubic feet per day) of gas and 30 BCPD (barrels of condensate per day). As per its production records, the Butaud #1 continues to produce from a single lateral at an estimated and reported daily rate approaching ~ 2,500 MCFD of gas and 30 BC.
The proposed plans for an initial horizontal test well are to drill a long length single lateral and/or two (2) opposing horizontal laterals. Although risks do exist and the Company can make no assurances, this long length single lateral and/or dual-lateral strategy could enhance reserve and production potential for this location.
As reported by the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC), the nearby Chesapeake Upchurch #1 Horizontal Well located in a similar setting was completed for production in 1992 and initially tested at 6,200 +/- MCFDGE (thousand cubic feet of gas per day equivalent) and produced 3.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas and more than 147,000 BC in less than five years from a single (1) lateral.
Per the October production reports as reported by the TRC, the offsetting Apache Producing Wells in the field area have combined produced more than ~ 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas and 18,000 BC over an average period of seven months.
Allied has acquired substantial working interest position in the initial test location and in the project area which potentially consists of thousands of acres located in the prolific Austin Chalk, Buda and Georgetown horizontal trends.
"We are tentatively scheduled to begin drilling operations in the next several weeks," said Steve Stengell, Allied's President.
There exist tremendous risks and uncertainty associated with oil and natural gas development including but not limited to the geological and mechanical risks associated with horizontal drilling. The Company can make no assurances as it relates to estimated reserves, production rates, timelines, etc. for any oil and gas project.

That's a horrible picture.
Put up one that's in color, that's taken at least at eye-level (angled up at your face is unflattering for everyone), and smile in it. I'd recommend using a picture that is taken from a bit further away so the lens doesn't distort your features as much (phone cameras use wide angle lenses that are somewhat unflattering see: qph.is.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-c2608c2a7b4eecfcba50fdd491b252b0 )
Then we can judge how you look properly.11|00|0
Sorry I'm trying but it's taking a while to get a non frightening picture... give me some more time
Trust me I look just as bad far away anyway but I'll try.

It's Mourning in America
Remember when Jenna Lyons dreamy Park Slope home came up for sale back in 2011 and real estate enthusiasts alike released a collective swoon and sigh? Well, we can all be horribly envious of Vince Clarke, founder of Depeche Mode, and his wife Tracy Martin, CEO of the Morbid Anatomy Museum the new owners of the 4000 square foot, four story townhouse. And it gets even better. The couple has transformed the space, with the help of firm Roman and Williams, into a stunning Victorian style residence with a wonderfully eclectic mix of antique furniture and other dark but tasteful curiosities.

It starts with the question you get asked when you're young, and the answer that comes into your head is something to do with books, maybe?
It starts with being shy, and moving around a lot all through your childhood.
It starts with the trinity of SF from your childhood: Star Wars, Buck Rodgers, and G-Force. It starts with David Lynch's adaptation of Dune, which you saw far too young because you liked science fiction and there was no home video back then, so it wasn't like you could just watch Star Wars again.
It starts with hearing your dad read The Hobbit in his classroom. It starts with the soundtrack of your pre-teen years, inherited from your father: Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, Queen singing Flash, the Rocky Horror soundtrack.
It starts with your first William Gibson short story at fourteen and having your mind blown. With Neil Gaiman comics at sixteen, which blow your mind again. With Enid Blyton books all the way back when you first started reading: Mister Galliano's Circus and The Magic Faraway Tree and The Adventurous Four and The Children of Cherry Tree Farm.
It starts the first time you think consider that mind-blowing feeling and want to be responsible for inducing it in others.
It starts with your mother accidentally buying all seven of the Narnia books, when you were only supposed to be picking up The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, because the bookstore only had them in a boxed set and you didn't really understand how money worked at nine.
It starts with getting angry with The Last Battle, because you understood allegory at age nine just fine.
It starts with years in country towns, away from movie cinemas and arcades and other distractions. It starts with growing up without the internet. It starts with Dungeons and Dragons, and your halfling getting eaten by a carrion crawler. It starts with picking up Dragon Warriors, 'cause you couldn't find a copy of D&D to purchase. In your head, goblins will always be fey, wyrd creatures who stab people with icicles and dance on moonbeams. When you finally run D&D, years later, it's disappointing to discover that goblins are just smaller, weaker alternatives to orcs.
It starts with moving away, learning to run the game yourself even if there's no-one to play it with.
It starts with hitting the limits of your school library and deciding there should be more books to read. It starts with your dad tricking you into reading Lord of the Rings at age ten. It starts with seeing artists portrayed on eighties TV sit-coms, that weird blend of creativity, heavy-metal, and punk rebellion. It starts with Nick of Family Ties – not belonging, but slowly accepted. A nice, safe version of being the outsider. You spend years with bad hair and a single, dangley earring your ear because the character of Nick Moore is imprinted on your brain.
It starts with realizing you'll never be metal, or punk, or an artist, but fuck it – you can create things. You do okay with words.
It starts with realizing there's something wrong with the world, and the best toolkit you have for reshaping it into a world you can handle living in are all narratively driven.
It starts with Spiderman and Iron Fist and X-Men and the realisation about how little you knew about appropriation as a kid.
It starts with figuring out how to pass IT at school. You can't code and have no interest in learning, but you've grown up with computers since the days you loaded files off tape and you can get pretty damn good project partners by agreeing to write the documentation.
It starts with getting told all the things you're pretty shit at, which should preclude you from making a career as a writer: you can't spell worth a damn, and your grammar is fucking horrible. Your handwriting is abysmal, chicken scratch filled with random capitals just because you started a new line of the notebook. You get by in English because you read fast, which gives you plenty of time to bug the teacher with questions. Mostly, about communism, because Russia's iconography is on goddamn point through most of the cold war.
It starts with reading Wuthering Heights in school and recognizing the metaphorical significance of the hearths before the classes even started, and suddenly you're hooked on this shit forever.
It starts with wanting to do an arts degree, because you think it will be a place you finally feel at home. It starts with realizing how wrong you are about that, and spending three years avoiding classes because you can't quite get over your crippling shyness around people more interesting than you are.
It starts with doing okay in some classes, despite your lack of attendance. Poetry, and script-writing, which gets you seconded into a theater to work as a playwright on a project that comes closer to getting you sued than you're really comfortable thinking about.
It starts with a few years writing poetry, because you need to figure out who you are and being a poet seems safe enough. You win a poetry slam and people pay you. You publish poems and people pay you. You finish your degree. You do an honors year. You write a terrible thesis and a not-quite-so-terrible poetry collection, which earns you a spot as a PhD student.
It starts with slowly realizing there are other people in your degree who are interested in speculative fiction, and having awkward conversations about it.
It starts with getting invited to tutor in your writing program, and having to explain how writing writing to other people in ways that make sense.
It starts with marking assignments. Hundreds and hundreds of short stories and poems and essays which start to illuminate just how much you've learned since you were eighteen.
It starts with getting some freelance gigs writing for gaming books. It starts with hitting the point where you can an article published in Dragon magazine. It starts with seven years as in a PhD program, teaching and lecturing and writing things, without ever feeling like you're any closer to getting published.
It starts with Clarion South, getting locked away with sixteen other writers and a host of instructors who actually know things about making a living as a writer, and suddenly learning that there's a way to apply all the skills you've picked up while teaching for seven years.
It starts when you figure there's nothing to lose with writing SF, just like you intended to when you first went to uni: you're thirty years old; your relationship is ending; it's becoming increasingly apparent that academia is not your thing, not when the other option is getting things published. You write and you write and you write some more, and suddenly the publications appear.
It starts the first time you realize how different a writing career feels from the inside, compared to things other people assume are markers of success.
It starts with fucking up, and realizing that this will not stop you. You've built up a profile as a writer once, which means you can do it again.
It starts with starting over. Building from the ground up. Getting back to writing again and again. And it's not about a burning, unyielding passion for writing – you're well aware that you can walk away, get your kicks from playing computer games instead of writing stories or books. You can get your kicks out of writing a blog, if that's really your thing.
Besides, there are plenty of gigs out there that can use your felicity with words. You've worked a few of them, over the years, all of them considerably more job-like than the gigs you dreamed about as a pre-teen. You can make a comfortable living, if you're willing to commit to them.
It starts the first time you think, fuck that, I'd rather be writing the things I want to write about.
It starts right now. 'Cause, hell, there's so many starting points. So many things that feel like they're the thing that really got you started. You can build a nice, clean narrative about what really made you want to write, but you're painfully aware of the differences between narrative and reality.
Reality isn't clean. Reality isn't linear. The moment you start shaping a story, you're manipulating experiences to generate effect. To make the point you want to make, make the reader feel the thing you want them to feel in that moment.
So yeah, fuck it, it starts now. It starts with writing something, and finishing it, and putting it in front of an audience.
Then it starts when you finish, and move on to the next thing.

Read Psalm 120
Featured Verse: Psalm 120:6-7
"I am tired of living among people who hate peace. I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!"
Perhaps you scratched your head when you read this psalm, as I did, unable to pull out much application from it other than the psalmist's upset with the deceitful, hateful people he was forced to endure. But digging into the title of the psalm sheds some much needed light on the rest of the psalm.
This is what is called a psalm of assent. There were fifteen of them, and they were songs to be sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem (the city had a relatively high elevation for the Promised Land, sitting at 2,700 feet above see level). These psalms were written in a time when Israel had only one central location for corporate worship—the sanctuary of the tabernacle/temple in Jerusalem—and they were required to go there three times each year for one of the religious festivals prescribed in the law of Moses.
As they made their journey, they were to worship—not a bad idea for you and me as we make our way to weekly worship at our church. In this particular psalm of assent, these pilgrims had to make a long journey since they lived in Meshech, way to the north in Asia Minor, and Kedar, which was in Ishmaelite territory in Arabia. (Psalm 120:5) Both places were known for violence, and in each godless location deceit (Psalm 120:2-3) was an acceptable way of life.
So now we see how this psalm of assent is a little more applicable to our lives. We, too, live in a culture that stands in stark contrast to the culture of God. Hostility and deceit are simply a way of life, even if you don't live all that far from the church where you worship. That godless culture forces its way into your life every day through the television, radio, or through your computer, and of course, through the people with whom you must interact. And like me, you are probably sick and tired of having to endure a culture God never intended for mankind.
One day, we will no longer have to endure such hostility and dishonesty. One day, perhaps sooner than we think, the Son of God will break through the clouds and call the people of God to their eternal home where truth and peace are as close as the air we will breathe. And what a day that will be!
But in the meantime, God has given us a place to which we can run and find truth and peace—the sanctuary of our church. There God's Truth is proclaimed, and there through our worship, the peace of God transcends the chaos from without and guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) And best of all, you aren't limited to three times a year, you can go at least once each weekend to get your defense shields recharged as you gather with the rest of God's children to offer your worship and receive his grace.
Now that the psalmist has reminded you of this stark contrast between culture and church, perhaps you ought to sing a song of assent on your way to worship this coming weekend.
"The consciousness of being borne up by a spiritual tradition that goes back for centuries gives one a feeling of confidence and security in the face of all passing strains and stresses."
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Pumpkin Pie
In preparation for Thanksgiving, I'm going old school on you guys. Back-to-basics and a "must" on every Thanksgiving table…Pumpkin Pie.
Pumpkin Pie is a dessert that most of us eat only once a year, so if you're making it, it better be good. Actually, it better be the best. I found this delicious recipe in Food 52 Genius Recipes by Kristen Miglore but it was originally published in Meta Given's Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking.
The "genius" here is cooking down the canned pumpkin to caramelize it. The result is an intensely flavored, unapologetic pumpkin pie. I mean, let's not be shy. Heavy cream and whole milk replace the more commonly used evaporated milk, so the resulting pie is rich and creamy. You may only need a small slice but go for a big one because it's Thanksgiving and what would this holiday be if you don't walk away from the table over-served and over-stuffed. Enjoy!
By the way, I won't be posting next week as my day job will be morphing into a 24-hour gig as we prepare the many Thanksgiving catering orders. So enjoy this wonderful holiday with family and friends-who-are-like-family and I'll see you back here on November 28!
NOTE: Photo credit goes to my talented 13-year old daughter who will likely be enlisted to take all of my photos from here on out.
- 1 can (425g) canned pumpkin puree
- 3/4 c sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 1 c heavy cream
- 1/2 c milk
- 1 unbaked, unpicked, chilled 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade--I use Pillsbury roll-out crust)
- whipped cream for serving, optional
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Turn the pumpkin into a saucepan and stir frequently over moderate heat, for 10 minutes until somewhat dry and caramelized. Remove from heat but keep hot.
- While pumpkin is cooking, mix thoroughly together the sugar, salt, cinnamon and ginger.
- Stir sugar mixture into the hot pumpkin when it is done cooking.
- Beat the eggs, add the cream and milk, and whisk into the pumpkin mixture until smooth.
- Pour immediately into the unpricked pastry-lined pie pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes*, until the pastry is golden brown and only a 1-inch circle in the center of the filling remains liquid.
- Cool thoroughly on a wire rack before slicing.
- Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
- *I had to cook my pie for about 15 extra minutes to achieve the desired doneness. This may have been due to the fact that I used a thick, ceramic pie dish. This timing likely works for a thin glass or metal pan. Just check your pie before removing from the oven to make sure that only the very center is wiggly.

It's always good news when a brunch lover discovers a new local spot for a lazy weekend meal. The White Moose Cafe came to my attention at the same time as Le Breton in Drumcondra, when I was making the impossible choice of where to have brunch for my birthday.
Le Breton won out this time (and a review is to come!) but we didn't forget about White Moose.
The White Moose Cafe is located in Phibsboro, on the way to Grangegorman.
I've told you before how much I love Phibsboro, haven't I? In case I haven't, I love it. It's all charity shops, tasty food and hidden gems within the redbrick streets.
The White Moose is part of the Charleville Lodge. The cafe is on the ground floor, and its entrance is deceptive, as it hides the bright airy room within.
We were greeted and told to choose a table. To our delight, we spotted a table in a cute little alcove that was like a mini private dining room.
Feeling slightly fragile after a couple of glasses of wine the night before, this was exactly what we needed.
White Moose Cafe is decorated in light blue walls with retro patterned wallpaper and lots of cute signs and pictures, as well as a bicycle shaped clock.
In out little alcove, Buddha statue sat at the window, smiling at the surroundings.
The menu was ideal for brunch. There were traditional breakfast options, including a big and small fry, yoghurt and granola, porridge and a variety of eggs benedict creations.
There was also a pancake menu which really looked tempting. Then there were nachos, a burger and other, more dinner-like options.
In the end, I went for eggs benedict, served with ham hock and lemony hollandaise on an English muffin. S had the big breakfast.
Both were delicious and very filling, and our coffees were really nice too.
The only negative thing I could say, and it's only a tiny thing, was that the waiter forgot to bring us water we asked for. This wasn't a big deal at all, but we didn't manage to grab anyone's attention while we were eating to remind them, so I was really thirsty by the time I finished my delicious, yet salty, ham hock!
We were really pleased with our White Moose experience, and are already planning a trip back. This time, we'll both be going for the burger, mainly because it features brie, red onion and sounded so good, it was tempting to order it for breakfast!

Hey everyone! It's breaktime! That means I don't have to worry about any papers and deadlines for a little while. Today's post is going to be about one of the most important features of our faces… the eyebrows. I got this sample from *Billion Dollar Brows and decided to try it out to see what they're all about. These are the contents of the package. Pretty cute packaging from the get go which is always a big plus for me. I love that this kit comes with everything you need to glam up your eyebrows. Let's take a look at each of the items.. Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil – okay so to tell you the truth, I hate when costemic products use the term "universal". Just no, there is no universal color for all skin color because you have to take into account not just hair color, but also the skin tones and undertones. Anyway, let's get back to the product itself. The pencil is a dark brown shade which comes pretty close to what I normally use so I was happy to see that it might even be an exact match. Billion Dollar Brows Brow Gel Clear – love the packaging on this one. I think it's a very good product for setting up the brows. Billion Dollar Brows Brow Duo Highlighter – Now, I was excited about this. A concealer — to define the brows and make them more polished, and a highlighter — to use a finishing touch to really amp up the look. I like how convenient it is to have a two in one product. Billion Dollar Brows Smudge Brush – the package says this is for smudging the highlighter, but I used it to blend the concealer outline and it worked perfectly fine for that too. 🙂 Billion Dollar Brows Pencil Sharpener – As an added bonus, just in case you don't have a jumbo pencil sharpener, this kit has included one for the highlighter/concealer pencil. Here are all the products once again. Now to try it on my own brows… My eyebrows before any products. My eyebrows after.. I decided to do a less dramatic look and go for my natural everyday look since that's what this product will be used for most of the time. Here's one of my eyebrows. In relation to the whole look, I think it matches me perfectly. My hair has some highlights so the darker brown eyebrows are flattering. I also made the shape rounder for a more youthful and natural look instead of my usual angled brows. So there ya go! I hope you guys found this post helpful. This kit can be found at the *Billion Dollar Brow website and is sold for $34.99. Pretty amazing deal for everything that you get in my opinion. They also sell the products individually just in case you don't want the whole set. 🙂
It's been a while, Jules! Merry Christmas!
Obviously it works, and it's a very complete, well thought-out kit. I think the price tag is a bit high, but I've seen smaller kits for more money, so maybe I'm just thinking it out wrong. There are plenty of single eyebrow filling pens and pencils that cost just as much as this complete kit, so it's definitely worth trying out.
I too hate the "universal" tag on a lot of things. I'm super pale, so a lot of those dark shades are too dark to match or they're way too light. Everyone does it differently. I think this looks super natural on you.
Have a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!
Wow, so pretty, you are stunning. *__*
Lovely greets Nessa
Quite a difference when you get perfect eye brows…you look beautiful!
happy new year
What a great kit! Your brows look perfect.
Looks great! I am going to have to try this out, I am always looking for a way to make my non-existent brows stand out more! Happy New Year! xo, Amanda
I've been wanting to put my hands on this eyebrow kit for ages. I need to it in my life!! :))
I so much want to get my hands on one of these kits, but I just can't find it!
I saw it on one bloggers event, but the queue was incredibly long and I don't see it in the regular shops. I NEED IT!!
Your brows look really great!! Loved this post! x

THE fabulous football feast served up so far at Brazil 2014 has continued on day three with Costa Rica stunning Uruguay to open Group D.
Los Ticos went behind 1-0 after Edinson Cavani converted a 25th minute penalty, but launched a thrilling comeback, led by their brilliant striker, Joel Campbell.
The 21-year-old, on loan from Arsenal, levelled in the 55th minute, before the South American outfit, missing Liverpool star Luis Suarez, crumbled under the relentless energy of Costa Rica's midfield.
Oscar Duarte headed the outfit ahead just three minutes later, before substitute Marco Urena scored with virtually his first kick of the game to seal the victory.
Re-live how this entertaining clash unfolded in our live blog below.

(JNS.org) DePaul University's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter is coming under heavy criticism for its decision to hold a fundraiser for convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh.
Formerly a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group, Odeh was convicted for a 1969 attack that killed two Hebrew University of Jerusalem students, Leon Kaner and Edward Jaffe.
Odeh was eventually released from an Israeli jail during a prisoner swap and in 1995 made her way to the U.S., where she eventually applied for citizenship. But she was accused of committing fraud on her naturalization application by answering "no" when asked if she had ever been charged, convicted, or imprisoned.
Last November, a federal jury in Detroit found Odeh guilty of illegally obtaining naturalization. She is facing up to 10 years in prison and the stripping of her U.S. citizenship.
On DePaul SJP's Eventbrite webpage for the fundraiser, Odeh is described as a "Palestinian community leader in Chicago" who has "exemplified resilience" and is the victim of a government effort "to silence those who advocate for Palestinian self-determination and human rights."
In a letter to DePaul President Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, the Zionist Organization of America wrote, "You cannot remain silent [on the Odeh issue]. Your silence sends the wrong message to the DePaul community—that the SJP fundraiser is tolerable and acceptable, and that it is just another routine student group event 'where diverse perspectives can be exchanged and discussed,' which is the language that a DePaul University representative used in a shamefully indifferent statement about the fundraiser."
Amy Stoken, director of the American Jewish Committee's Chicago Region, said, "SJP's campus activities promoting hatred of Israel have no moral limits."


text: Just a thought, you might want to check the injection quantity at idle with vagcom and adjust it upward a bit. If the setting is to low it will cause a shudder at times when idleing down. Its a software thing, dealing with calibration of the actual to requested injection quanity from the ECU.. Check the TDI club for details on what adaptation block to change if you want to go ahead with it. I had to do it on mine to get it to stop the infrequent shudder when coasting down and pushing in the clutch. Arnie ================= I've checked a few things and have a few more to look at, but considering the road trip I have planned soon (Saturday), I thought I'd get the list's opinions. '00 TDI. It runs great going down the road, lots of power, etc. But, when I throttle down, it will stumble or miss. Listening to the rythm of the engine, it almost sounds...confused. It will occasionally miss at idle, but it mainly occurs as it's dropping to idle, then it will smooth out after a few seconds. VAG-COM has nothing to say about it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Comments about D'Addario Planet Waves XLR-1/4" Adapter:
I own a Planet Waves XLR-1/4" Adapter (Item #PW-P047AA), and this adapter has come in handy many times! My preamp has only a 1/4" input, but this adapter allows me to turn it into an XLR input for a low-Z microphone or other XLR device. This adapter also allows me to plug a microphone into my guitar stompboxes for some crazy vocal effects! You can even use this adapter in a 1/4" output jack to utilize XLR cable, rather than 1/4" cable. It's definitely worth having in your gig bag! This adapter is durable, provides a great connection, and produces no noise. The gold-plated connections also guard against the corrosion that other metals are prone to. I own and use many Planet Waves products of various types for performing and recording, and they deliver an awesome signal! Planet Waves guarantees all of its cables and adapters for life, and they're built to last a lifetime! This adapter is well-worth the investment!
Comments about D'Addario Planet Waves XLR-1/4" Adapter:
While assembling my home recording studio this summer I picked up a handy Presonus HP4 Headphone distributor that also let me control the output of my monitors (which I use 1/4" TRS cables). Long story short, I ran short on TRS cables and plugged this little device into the XLR end of my 1/4-to-XLR cable and it saved the day. Buy two just in case!

While many mayors suffer in relatively anonymity, there is a good chance that you have heard of Cory A. Booker of Newark. If you, say, turn on a television, or are on Twitter, you have probably heard that he spent the last week eating burned sweet potatoes while on his food-stamps diet, that he pulled a woman from a burning building, that during snowstorms he shovels out perhaps every snowbound car in his beleaguered New Jersey city.
On Wednesday, in an appearance on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" that was promoted among the mayor's 1.3 million Twitter followers, Mr. Booker displayed his wonky side, discussing the gross national product, prisoner re-entry and income inequality.
Mr. Stewart called him "the superhero mayor of Newark."
"You pull babies out of burning buildings, you have reversed the rotation of the earth to save Lois Lane. How does this happen to you? Do you patrol at night? Are you filming an episode of 'Cops'?"
Mr. Booker, a Democrat, demurred, saying he got "attention for things that, frankly, a lot of people in my city do every day."
In discussing the achievement gap between black and white students, he urged Mr. Stewart to go home and Google "McKinsey, 2009, disparity, education."
But he did not answer some questions that his home state is asking: Will he run against Gov. Chris Christie (a Republican who appeared on Mr. Stewart's Comedy Central show last week)? Will he run instead for the Senate in 2014, when Frank R. Lautenberg's term is up? Or will he merely continue to leap tall buildings in a single bound?Continue reading the main story
Mr. Booker called Mr. Christie "a good friend" but said they disagreed on matters of policy like the earned-income tax credit and the importance of investing in infrastructure. "New Jersey has a problem with its Transportation Trust Fund," the mayor declared.
"What?" Mr. Stewart asked, mockingly.
As Mr. Booker talked about bringing together left and right, Mr. Stewart, himself raised in New Jersey, insisted, "I will break through your veneer of optimism."
Mr. Booker said, "Our best days are not behind us if we start working together for what we know is right."
"I'm sorry to see you so discouraged and giving up politics," Mr. Stewart told him.Continue reading the main story

REDLANDS – Shotgun blasts and Taser stun darts barely fazed one of two pit bulls terrorizing a neighborhood.
The dogs chased passing vehicles and charged residents before police arrived Tuesday night.
"Several neighbors were essentially trapped inside their homes by these dogs," police spokesman Carl Baker said.
The dogs were sitting next to a man's vehicle when officers arrived. When the man stepped outside to greet the officers, the dogs barked and moved menacingly toward him.
The dogs soon charged the officers and one of the officers fired a shotgun blast that struck one of the pit bulls, Baker said.
"The dog didn't even slow," Baker said.
A second shotgun blast also hit the dog, and two officers used Taser weapons to stun the dog while animal control officers looped a leash around the dog's neck. The dog died a short time later.
The second pit bull didn't resist and was taken to Redlands Animal Shelter. It wasn't known who owned the dogs.

Here's some artsy fun for those of you who like to sketch. Today I'll show you how to make an inexpensive and easy homemade drawing board with no power tools required. These drawing boards are nice and flat and have a bit of give which makes them a pleasure to use. I made three sizes, one to use on an easel and the other two to use on my lap. I think they would also do all right as an inexpensive lap desk under a laptop computer.
You will need:
- a piece of drywall/gyproc several inches larger than the paper you will be using to draw on. The best way to get this is to ask for a few scraps at a construction site or at a building supply store they often have broken bits that are too small for building but great for our purposes. Take care to select flat and smooth pieces.
- 2″ wide masking tape
- A boxcutter or utility knife
- Straight edge
- pencil
- An old box or something to protect your cutting surface
- Place drywall on a protected flat surface and mark out the size of your drawing board using the straight edge. Try to get the corners approximately square.
- Place the edge you will be cutting a few inches out from the table to protect the table. Then, using the boxcutter and the straight edge cut through the top layer of drywall paper.
- Grasp the edge of the drywall and snap it along the cut. It will (usually) break straight along the cut line and dangle by the paper along the underside.
- Flip the drywall over and carefully cut through the remaining paper with the boxcutter. Try not to rip the paper. It is way easier to flip it and cut from the paper side down rather than to try to cut along the chalky part.
- Smooth out the edge as best you can. It won't matter too much if it's a little rough because you are taping it anyway.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for remaining three sides.
- Take a 2″ wide strip of masking tape the length of the side you are working on and center it along the edge so that when you fold it over it is tight and even along both sides. Trim excess tape.
- Repeat for remaining sides.
- Ta Da! You now have a drawing board.
Please let me know what you think of the drawing boards in the comments below.
Thanks for dropping by and 'til next time, Shine, Just Shine!
~ Julie

Me personally, I would just want to be left completely alone.
Make me feel wanted. My terrible days usually only happen when I feel like nobody wants me around.
Have an opinion?
Someone who listens to what I have to say. I myself am a great listener, but ironically at the same time I am the kind of person who doesn't talk to others about his feelings and bottles everything up. Maybe I just don't talk about my feelings easily, who knows.
The cheap way is to jack off
THE expensive way go buy food u like, drink, and go to a strip club
The best way is for me to listen to music on YouTube or watch videos on YouTube
or get Netflix is good and also forming new friendships help to go about it..
I don't have those.
i am the type that doesn't complain, so i wish to be left alone
unless i am depressed then i wish to be with friends
I'd want hugs. Lots of hugs
talk with somebody who has had worst day than yours :)
I try to sleep while watching some good comedy movie...
i don't publish my feelings...
Cuddle with me.
Meditate on the bible.
For me it's taking a soothing bath with my favorite music in the background, wearing my comfiest pj's and curling up to my favorite movie/TV show.
for me sometime alone while wearing my favorite sweatpants and favorite hoodie after i feel better a hug from someone close to me will be just fine i dont ever really show my negative emotions like anger or sadness unless i am really angry or really sad
Nothing in particular, just keep me company


text: School Transportation Safety By Pop-A-Lock Canada BlogDecember 16, 2016Edited by Admin0 Back to HomeTweet Back to school time may mean your child is making their own way to school, either by walking, riding a bike, or even catching a bus. However your child makes their way to school, make it safer with these school transportation safety tips. Walking to school Walk your child to school the first day so that they are familiar with the route. Be sure to point out any hidden dangers and blind spots that your child needs to know about, especially if they have to cross the street. Remind them that crossing at a corner or intersection is always safest, and point out any pedestrian crosswalks they should use. For children ages ten and under, it's best if they walk in a group that is supervised by an adult. Remind them to always use a sidewalk if one is available, and if there isn't one, they should walk facing traffic for the highest visibility. Biking to school If your child takes their bike to school, teach them proper bike safety and make sure they always wear a helmet. Bright clothes are also a good idea to help make them more visible to drivers. Remind them to follow traffic rules, including stopping at traffic lights and stop signs. Get them in the habit of looking in every direction before taking off, and wait for cars to signal them to pass or cross. If they have to ride at night, make sure they are wearing reflective clothing and using a bike light so they can see where they are going. Riding a bus Even catching a bus to school can be dangerous if children aren't taught about safety. Children need to be reminded about visibility when waiting for a bus or crossing to enter a bus. Teach them to stay at least 6 feet back away from the curb when the bus is stopping to pick them up, and to wait until it has come to a complete stop before moving towards it. If your child must cross in front of the bus, teach them to cross far enough away from the front so that they can make eye contact with the driver. Remind them to never try and retrieve items dropped near the bus, unless the driver gives them permission. Back to Home

Imagine learning that a very obstinate peer is going to become your new boss. Yes – the opinionated one that is like a dog with a bone and just won't drop a subject, and almost always opposes your point of view.
To say you are concerned is an understatement! That overwhelming dread you are feeling is fueled by RAW FEAR.
Two years after you survive that transition, you look back and realize:
- Your boss allowed you to express opposing ideas without fear: Yes – you disagreed a lot, both passionately and emphatically, but never disrespectfully. In spite of holding wildly opposing views– you were always allowed to speak your truth even if it was the opposite of what your boss was thinking. And he of course, always shared his opinions.
- Even though you didn't always agree – he had your back: In the time that you worked for him you faced two huge issues. One would have impacted your personal life in a major way, and the other was impacting your professional life. In both cases you needed to be heard, and you needed someone at a higher level to stand with you. And he rose to the occasion without hesitation, without fear, without wavering. He not only got your back, he was instrumental in making the necessary change happen.
- He made wiser decisions – because you weren't a "yes" man. Instead of telling him what you thought he wanted to hear you gave your honest opinion and backed it up with lots of data.
- Your strengths made him look good: Knowing that he heard you, respected you and had your back – motivated you to willingly leverage your greatest strengths to support him at a higher level – often reminding him about deadlines and details that he was not on top of.
- You were a great team. As you played to each other's strengths, your entire team became more effective and more productive.
Focusing on strengths is the surest way to greater job satisfaction, team performance and organizational excellence. Marcus Buckingham

Basic Subsidy Amount (Aged Care Funding Instrument)
The basic care subsidy is based on the appraised care needs of a resident by applying the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI). The ACFI consists of questions about assessed care needs, some of which are supported by specified assessment tools and two diagnostic sections. The ACFI consists of 12 questions which are rated by the aged care home on a scale of A, B, C, or D then used to determine an individual's 'ACFI rating'.
The ACFI has three funding categories or domains: Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Behaviour (BEH) and Complex Health Care (CHC). Funding in each of these domains is provided at four levels, namely high, medium, low or nil. The subsidy paid for a resident is made up of the sum of the amounts payable for the three care domains (ADL + BEH + CHC).
Streamlining the ACFI Review and Reconsideration Process through the My Aged Care Portal
In September 2017, improvements to the My Aged Care provider portal will be made to enable providers to streamline functionality of the ACFI Reviews and Reconsiderations.
The changes are part of the Department's continued investment in the delivery of system and process improvements to My Aged Care, and will strengthen the positioning of the system as the single source of truth for aged care service information.
Further information regarding these changes can be found on the ACFI Reviews and Reconsiderations in the My Aged Care provider portal page.
Amendments to the ACFI Classification Principles - 1 March 2017
Following consultation with the sector, the government is implementing changes to the ACFI announced in the 2015‑16 MYEFO measure, Aged Care Provider Funding – improved compliance.
To implement some of the changes, the following amendments have been made to the Classification Principles 2014 (the Principles), effective from 1 March 2017:
- If the User Guide requires a directive from a health care practitioner as evidence in respect of care mentioned in a question or part of a question in the Answer Appraisal Pack, the care may be taken into account only if:
i. a directive has been given for the care by the kind of health care practitioner mentioned in the User Guide in respect of that care; and
ii. the directive states the manner in which the care is to be provided and the qualifications of the person who is to provide the care; and
iii. the care was, is or is to be provided in the manner, and by a person with the qualifications, stated in the directive.
- A fee of $375 (GST exclusive) per ACFI question will be charged for a request for reconsideration of an ACFI review decision.
The government will consult further with the sector on the amendments to the Principles requiring re-appraisal where an ACFI review has identified that a care recipient's care needs have significantly decreased.
From 1 March 2017, the department will no longer routinely seek additional information to verify ACFI subsidy claims after the ACFI review visit is completed. Approved providers will continue to be able to submit additional information for 48 hours (i.e. two working days) following the completion of an ACFI review visit.
Further information on the revised package of changes
ACFI request for reconsideration template
Changes to the 2016-17 Budget measures for residential aged care funding
The government has announced a revised package of aged care funding changes originally announced in the 2016-17 Budget.
The package retains elements of the Budget such as addressing perverse incentives to take longer to deliver medication and reducing the scoring for some less complex procedures.
The government has recognised the concerns of the sector by:
- reducing the additional requirement to receive maximum funding for complex pain management down to 80 minutes per week (from 120 minutes), and
- not proceeding with other changes that had been proposed to complex pain management (reducing scoring from 6 to 4 points and 3 to 2 points for certain procedures).
In place of these changes a one year indexation pause for all domains of the ACFI in 2017-18 and an additional 50 per cent indexation pause for the Complex Health Care domain in 2018-19.
The changes to the tool will take effect from 1 January 2017. The indexation pause to all domains will apply from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018, and the 50% indexation pause to the Complex Health Care domain will apply from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.
The government has also announced a further increase in the Viability Supplement for eligible rural and remote providers as part of this package.
Further information on the revised package of changes can be found in the Fact Sheet Changes to residential aged care funding arrangements – 1 January 2017.

The Federalist Papers were a series of eighty-five essays urging the citizens of New York to ratify the new United States Constitution. Written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, the essays originally appeared anonymously in New York newspapers in 1787 and 1788 under the pen name "Publius." A bound edition of the essays was first published in 1788, but it was not until the 1818 edition published by the printer Jacob Gideon that the authors of each essay were identified by name. The Federalist Papers are considered one of the most important sources for interpreting and understanding the original intent of the Constitution.

Islamic Relief: an Overview
There is hardly any dearth of organizations for islamic charity in the world today. Therefore, if you wish to contribute money for poverty stricken Muslim people, there would be no scarcity of options. Right from LIFE to Red Cross, a number of organizations are into the realm of Islamic charity. However, important names apart, the scenario has off late become packed with some obscure organizations also. Hence, anybody with the slightest amount of interest in charitable work for fellow Muslim people is advised to research the market well before taking the plunge. The question, however, is whom to trust and whom to not? After all, there have been reports surfacing off late of charitable trusts re-routing their funds to support terrorist causes. Well, as discussed already, you always have names like LIFE or Red Cross to fall back on. Apart from these two prominent organizations, another important name is that of Islamic relief.
Islamic Relief Worldwide is a globally known relief and development organization comprising of a group of fifteen aid agencies that aim primarily to alleviate suffering and poverty of the poorest Muslim people in the world. The organization is inspired primarily by Islamic values. They envisage a world where social obligations are fulfilled, communities empowered, and people respond as a unified group to the miseries of fellow beings. An independent NGO or Non Governmental Organization, Islamic relief was founded in the year 1984 in UK by Hany El Banna.
For those who did not know, islamic relief Worldwide or IRW works to build partnerships, mobilize resources and spawn social capacity. In doing so, the organization enables different communities to mitigate or eliminate the effects left by disasters. It also helps communities to prepare well for the occurrence of disasters.
IRW is a member of the prestigious Economic and Social Council of the United Nations Organization. It is, moreover, also an authorized signatory to the Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The professionals have been enlisted as member of the Make Poverty History Group whose main aim is to eliminate poverty altogether.

Louise Fishman at Cheim & Read
Fishman had been asking very specific things of her chosen medium: how does one make it relevant to oneself and one's history? How does one possess it? How do you filter your experiences through it?
Shahzia Sikander at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.
Brilliantly colored, covered with decorative motifs and gestural abstractions, the work suggests a gorgeous manuscript, a place where the politics of place and the pain of indifference no longer exist.
Linda Francis, Don Voisine, Joan Waltemath, Michael Zahn at Janet Kurnatowski Gallery, and Jennifer Riley: To Be A Thing In This World at LaViolaBank Gallery
In each picture, there is a sense that the overt structure is a kind of plan for the making of the work, while the work is the exposition of that plan. But, at the same time, the work is more than its own plan.
Ellen K. Levy: Stealing Attention at Michael Steinberg Fine Art
The complications of scale bring about violent contrasts and juxtapositions, many of which make little evident sense; this is, I think, a metaphor for the anarchy of war, as well as the dishonesty that provided moral cover for those politicians who originally wanted to invade Iraq.
The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Like some earlier Guggenheim exhibitions, Mark Rosenthal's 1996 splendid, mindless history of abstraction and the more recent survey Russia! are two examples, The Third Mind presents much great art without a convincing visual premise.
Serban Savu: The Edge of Empire at David Nolan Gallery
Although the architecture's physical decay reflects its economic uselessness, such romantic titles as The Guardian of the Valley and Mountain of Nostalgia lend emotional value to these dour and severe scenes. These paintings speak to the failed utopian ideas in Communism.
Jack Bush: Works on Paper at the New York Studio School
What most truly characterizes Bush's mature work is a seriousness, even a gravitas that amounts to a truly Olympian detachment.
Leon Kossoff: From the Early Years 1957-1967 at Mitchell-Innes & Nash
Commensurate with their disconcerting depth, Kossoff's early paintings are literally and metaphorically heavy. The defiant sweeps of brush resemble nothing so much as tire tracks on a sodden road.
Bonnard: Drawing Color, Painting Light
For Bonnard drawing was sensation, and taking possession of the image. The next step was the translation of these notations into color, not local color, but the color that came from his interior logic.
Nancy Haynes: Dissolution at Elizabeth Harris Gallery
As one grasps the combination of flatness, space, and light in Haynes' paintings, the subtleties of her sophisticated palette and tonal gradations reveal a seductive luminosity.

How can public data and information support Bristol charities?
Bristol Workshop, Thursday 13th October, 1pm - 4pm
Join us to give your opinions on:
How data can help your organisation deliver services to your clients
What you would like to see in the future to make your jobs easier in using and interpreting data
Voscur and ODI Bristol have joined forces to see how we can support the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) in Bristol access and use public data and information in simpler ways to help organisations across a range of areas, including:
Understanding the socio-economic make up of communities
In depth understanding of community needs
Analyse where other VCS organisations are working and what clients they are working with
Understand which funders are operating in which communities
Data on these areas and much more is generated and made publicly available by Central and Local Government, research bodies, Charity Commission, funders and other VCS organisations. All this data presents a huge opportunity to understand and visualise a rich picture of the communities we work in.
The Challenge:
As under-resourced organisations, it is increasingly hard to access and analyse all the data and information across the city that can help improve our work and access the resources needed to continue our work.
How can this workshop help:
An opportunity to come together with other organisations from across the VCS and data world in Bristol to share ideas, learn each others' needs and plan a way forward that will mean data and information can be more effectively used within the voluntary sector.
More information:
Please contact either Ed Howarth at Voscur (email@example.com) or Kev Kirkland (email@example.com)

There was another fabulous visionSPARK workshop this past Saturday. I tell you, if I could exist in visionSPARK workshops, just move from one to another for the rest of my life, I would. The participants have been so amazing and what has come out of each workshop has had its own nuance which leads it to be uniquely powerful. It is cool, cool stuff for which I am honored to be present.
This past Saturday, the not uncommon issue of saying no came up: how hard it is to do, how much trepidation it gives us to do it, the discomfort.
One participant shared that she now just always says, "I need to get back to you," when she's asked to do something so that she can have some quiet time on her own to discern whether or not she wants to do it and to come up with an answer.
I then shared with the group how I had recently been asked to serve on a board whose work I think is incredibly important but whose work isn't my calling. I was also asked by someone I really respect and the invitation was primed with accolades about what I could offer the board.
"Oh my," I fretted. "They really want me. I'll need to let them down easy." And so I composed a long, over engaged email of all the ways that I was just too maxed out and how that would keep me from being a productive member of their board. While their reply wasn't this brief or direct, basically, what I heard back was, "Do you know another Latina who could join us?" Oh, it wasn't about me at all. Just my ethnicity.
After I relayed that story of all my fretting, I shared that most people are really ready for our nos, more ready than we realize– it is a bigger deal to us to say no than it is for someone to hear no. Once we understand that, it becomes a little easier to say no.
For me, though, there was another issue of guilt in saying no. The idea that this- whatever I am being asked to do- should be of primary importance to me, too. That I should not just care more but do more about the issue and that if I didn't do more when the opportunity presented itself, well, then, I wasn't all that good of a person.
Except for I don't think that is how the world works at all.
I have shared with you that I think we\'re all here on purpose. That we are each meant to be a part of healing the world\'s pain. And that we each have a unique way that we are meant to be doing that. I think the key for each of us is to find how we are supposed to be plugged into the world and to do that with all of our might and energy and reverence. And, then, what we say to the people whose purpose is different from ours– let's say my purpose is saving the endangered leatherback and basically do everything I can to improve the world's water situation and someone else's is to educate and encourage local eating– is "Go. Do everything you can about promoting local eating. Knock it out the park and do it without fear that something is falling through the cracks because I am here doing everything I can to save the leatherback turtle and our oceans and Sally is over there doing everything she can to improve our school system and Jon is over there making sure that everyone knows about fire safety. Let's just all do our part and by doing that we tackle everyone's needs."
Because here's the truth: if we all find our thing, our purpose, and then if we all just give our things the absolute best we've got, then the world will hum along more smoothly, not needing millions of us to head PTA but just the ones who can do it with gusto while those who can do something else with gusto are doing that. The key, I believe, is not for us to spread our purpose so far out that the amount of energy we have left is so thin that everything is done partially. The key is to pour ourselves into our purpose and have faith that everyone around us will do that, too.
What's the thing to which you feel inspired to give the best you've got (and don't worry, it doesn't have to be fancy or involve turtles, oceans, or local food)? Are you giving it the amount of energy you want to give it? Do you feel ready to say no to things that don't align with who and how you are in the world? Do you have a telling no story to share?

Grant expands program
Lakeshore Press
The Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance will expand its migrant mentoring program into the Holland area, thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area. The financial support will allow LEDA to triple the number of children from Holland area migrant camps can be matched with community Volunteers for social mentoring. The program is designed to build bridges between the community and Ottawa County's migrant population, who come to the area for short-term farm work.
Mentors meet with the migrant child they are matched with at least once a week from March to December to provide social outings and academic support. Last year, the program served 36 migrant children, 12 of whom were in the Holland area. Forty mentoring matches are expected this year.
Ottawa County ranks third in the state for agricultural production. More than 6,000 migrant workers, most of them Mexican-American, come to Ottawa County for seasonal work annually. Children of migrant workers typically encounter many obstacles, including education disruptions, limited English proficiency, and physical and social isolation.
Anyone interested in becoming a migrant mentor is urge to call Gail Harrison at (616) 846-9074 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Green Pepper Harissa
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe came as a result of a CSA box filled with a variety of green peppers. I'm not the biggest green pepper fan. Often they are misappropriated - carelessly tossed in a salad or forever paired with onions. There has to be more for the vegetable. —Summer of Eggplant
Makes 2 cups +/-
- 2 large green bell peppers
- 3 Anaheim peppers
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 1.5 teaspoons caraway seed - toasted
- 1.5 teaspoons cumin - toasted
- 7 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch (large pinch) sea salt
- 1 pinch (tiny pinch) cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1/2 lemon - juiced
- 4 garlic cloves - peeled
- Pre-heat the broiler. Toast the spices. Place the garlic and peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Broil peppers. My broiler is in the top of my oven and it took me 5 minutes with the peppers 7" from the heat source, rotating the peppers every minute. The garlic was done sooner. Ideally the peppers want to be charred all over.
- Put the peppers, spices, cilantro and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the food processor, process and stream in the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil until desired consistency. Finish with lemon juice.
- Use as you would regular harissa, or as a dip or a marinade for chicken. It is also great on eggs.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Mash-Up Recipe
