I am reconstructing my website from scratch. I am posting a few old pieces and then putting up the new. I am going to start with two poems I recently read at "Writing Practice" readout in January.
Edgar Allen Poe teaches Yoga in Ballard
lighting a candle
he walked ploddingly
across the naked hardwood floor.
with great coldness
he turned and murmured
we will begin in the corpse pose
and work our way out."
guiding our breathing
as if we were buried alive
each breath
like the taste of fine wine.
I gasped,
could I endure
the tell-tale downward dog
Amontillado's bridge pose
the pit and trikonasana
quote the sun salutation
"do five more"
Lawrence Avenue
Granny's hands crumbled the dried bread
it was feeding time
for the crows, robins, wrens and sparrows.
Around five o clock the bread would be thrown,
she would take her place on the front porch
in a white wicker chair
watching the birds feed
and the neighborhood return from work.
She offers only a wave
unless you spoke Ukrainian, Russian or Polish,
then in the voice of her childhood
Granny's hands would animate the conversation
while the birds fed
then flew back home
to the trees
across from Lawrence Avenue.
One day at the end of summer
birds amassed on the trees
hundreds and hundreds
singing so powerfully
the people came out of their houses.
Praise for Granny's hands
for years of service
faithfully crumbling bread
waiting for her cherished friends
to swoop and dine.
Granny's hands were clasped in an impish yet humble way
she accepted the accolades
listening to the trees
across from Lawrence Avenue.
Granny's hands pull her across the linoleum
her cheek would rest in the coldness of the floor
to distract from the pain in her hip
in and out of consciousness
she watched as her precious kitchen faded
then disappeared
a blur of lights
her daughter's soothing voice.
she awoke frightened and confused
in a stranger's bed.
while the birds were sleeping
in the trees
across from Lawrence Avenue
In the time before night and morning
on the Northside of town
Granny's hands open her purse
while a large Jamaican nurse in a white starched uniform
is dreaming in her romance novel.
Quietly the window is opened
a missing slice of dining room bread is crumbled up
and gently scattered outside
then staring into darkness
she waits
for someone
to tell the birds
who live in the trees
across from Lawrence Avenue.


text: So my Dad just picked up a pontoon. I've almost got him converted from gear fishing now We have a 8'x4' trailer and we're thinking of ways to stack or transport both pontoons. Our last trip we just turned them both side ways and were able to squeeze them on there but we wanted something that would secure them a bit better for trips that might be up and down highways or better along bumpy dirt roads. My Dad drew a blueprint of an idea. Which was basically building a table on top of the trailer using the pockets to put the legs. So you could have one pontoon on the bottom, then a second tier on top for the other. To me it looked good but it looked like a lot of work and I thought to myself surely someone has a less bulky and easier way to transport two pontoons. I've seen pictures of people stacking them, are there any problems with this? Any rubbing that needs to be padded? Any extra pressure on the bottom pontoon when tied down? Etc... If anybody has comments or even pictures of what they do and like I'd love to see them. Thanks

According to my latest read "How to be Parisian – Wherever you are" a woman should have found her signature scent by the age of 30 and then stick to it for the next 30 years. As for me, I found mine about six years ago and I haven't used any other perfume since then (and yes, I am over thirty). I have to admit though that I have not only been using one scent alone but changed within the Chloé family. This works because the basis is the same so it is more like wearing variations of the same scent. At the moment, however, my favourite of the family is L'eau de Chloé.
Thank you for reading lovelies and have a wonderful Monday!

– The reason why Dusty Rhodes did not partake in the Ric Flair tribute segment on Monday's edition of Raw is because he was in Tampa, Florida getting situated for his new position as the head creative writer for WWE's Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory. He filmed his vignette paying tribute to Flair that aired on Raw earlier on Monday.
– Contrary to Internet reports, it is not believed that Chavo Guerrero was backstage at any TNA events over the weekend in Orlando, Florida.

This is a guest post by Rick LaPoint, who successfully runs various websites and you can see all of them at RickLaPoint.com. In today's guest post, you will learn how to improve writing skills that will easily attract readers towards it and you will find yourself enjoying great benefits.
Anyone can write a sentence. And anyone can string sentences into a paragraph. Anyone can communicate their ideas to others in a manner that is understood.
But there is a big difference between writing that simply communicates and writing that motivates.
Good writing is engaging, entertaining, and leaves the reader with specific emotions deliberately embedded by the author of the text.
Whether you are writing for a blog or an advertising campaign, Good writing…
- Catches your visitor's attention
- Gets your readers involved and motivated
- Leads your readers to a pre-determined outcome
…and is all planned and executed in advance by you, the writer.
Writing well is both an Art, and a Science. And many believe there may be just a little bit of Voodoo in there, as well 🙂
No one can really teach you the Art, but writing has Rules. Rules makes writing a Science that can be taught. Although this article is much too short to be a complete study, we can examine a few tips to help you greatly improve. Learning some basic exercises in combination with disciplined practice can open up your intuitive creativity and put you ahead of your peers.
Writing Begins with Reading
The first Rule of good Writing is good Reading. Read everything you can find that is written in the style you wish to emulate. The more you read one type of writing, the more you will "soak up" that style into your sub-conscious mind. Have you ever noticed that you become friends with people who are like you? And you, in turn, become like the friends you spend time with.
It's the same with reading. I used to read the Wall St. Journal every day, and after a while I began thinking like the Wall St. Journal, and my words and sentences began to look more like the Wall St. Journal. My writing never became as good as the Journal's writing, but my skill developed to a much higher level than it would have otherwise.
- Exercise #1: Read books, magazines, web postings by authors whose writing you would like to emulate. As much as possible, stick to one style.
- Exercise #2: After a while, try to understand and "dissect" the "formula" for that style. What are they doing? How are they using descriptive words, sentence length, stories?
Write Every Day
The more time you spend writing, the better your writing will become. What you write every day isn't nearly as important as the exercise of doing it. At the end of each session of the creative writing class I attended, we were required to write about anything. Anything at all. But we had to fill the page. We could ramble, we could mumble, and could rant, we could sing. The only thing that mattered was that we force ourselves to write, whether we felt like it or not.
On many occasions my mind was blank, and I had nothing at all to say. But the very act of writing one or two sentence of random thoughts would get the creativity flowing, and before I knew it, I had filled a page. Granted, it wasn't very good. But that was not the point. It was the "mind-dump" first draft. It was a creativity exercise.
- Exercise #3: Keep a notepad or journal handy at all times, and whenever an idea hits you, about anything, write it down. If you have time at that moment, write as much as you can about it for as long as the ideas keep coming. This will help you begin a collection of great things to write about later.
- Exercise #4: Set aside a "special" time for writing your blog. Write as quickly as you can, using every idea that comes to you regarding one subject. Don't worry about organizing your thoughts, you can do that later. The exercise here is to let your mind come up with as many focused ideas as possible. Write them as sentences, write them as bullet points, it doesn't matter. If the ideas start flowing, you will end up with enough material for several articles you can fine-tune later.
Edit, Rewrite, then Edit Some More
We see it all the time. misspelled words, poorly constructed sentences that don't make sense, several words in a string that should have been deleted, poorly organized content… it's a very long list.
The frustrating part of this is that most of these people are capable of much better writing, but they are in a hurry. They are not bad writers — they're sloppy writers.
Any writing can be greatly improved fairly easily.
Use a spell Checker. Slowly read your article for Typos, duplicated words, words you meant to delete. This proofing is not for Content as much as Mechanics.
Make sure your article flows from one point to the next in a logical order. You don't always have to use bullet points in your finished work, but it may help in the beginning stages until you work your ideas into inspiring and informative sentences.
Remove or strengthen weak sentences. Don't say, "dull," when you can say, "lifeless." Exchange lifeless words for words that sparkle. Highly descriptive words help your readers "feel" your ideas with their emotions. Remember, If you get bored proofing your text, your audience will get bored reading it.
Yes, it's difficult to slowly proof-read your own material. But proof-read you must. And you must do so over and over again until it flows as a coherent and descriptive stream of information.
- Exercise #5: Spend an entire week working on one specific article. Write the entire article in one sitting, then edit. Walk away. The next day work on it some more. Add some things and maybe move things around to better organize the flow. Edit. Walk away. On day 3 you do the same, all over again. Spend the entire 7 days working, reworking, and polishing your article until it is the best you can possibly write it. If you can, have someone else read it with a Red Pen to mark it up. Then rewrite it again.
Writing is Interaction
While sitting alone at the keyboard, it can be easy to forget sometimes that we are trying to engage real, live human beings to motivate them into thinking new thoughts, and acting in new ways. When explaining how to do something, explain why they should do it, and what the expected outcome will be. Always appeal to their own self-interest, and try to use examples from your own experience to better illustrate the points you are making.
By explaining how you did something, then telling the Story of what happened to you as a result, you can draw your reader into a more intimate conversation with you. You can encourage your readers with your own success as a result of the methods you're teaching them, and warn them of your failures by explaining what went wrong at times — and what you did to fix it.
- Exercise #6: Write an article as if you were writing a letter to a close friend or family member. Avoid writing as if you were a professor teaching a group of students. Be friendly, use examples, tell a story.
End Your Writing by Writing an Ending
When you complete your article, don't allow it to simply hang dangling when you are finished with the topic. Wrap things up to a satisfying Conclusion with a:
- Summary
- Call to Action
- A final Story
- Inspirational Quote, Example, or Advice
- Go full circle and conclude by referencing the article's opening
There are many more things we could discuss about writing well, and we may do just that in a future article. But the techniques and exercises listed above should give you a good beginning.
The real Key to writing well is to Practice. If possible, have friends and family members read your work and give you honest feedback. If you can, find someone who writes better than you do, and have them be very honest with you. I always give my wife a Red Pen, and tell her to "tear it apart." And she does. I just wish she didn't enjoy it so much!
Writing well is a Skill that can be learned, an Art that can be nurtured, and a Magic that can be used to dazzle and persuade others to your way of thinking and to your plan of action.
Now, before I go, we have one last Exercise:
- Exercise #7: Follow my Call to Action, and with as much creativity as you can muster, leave me a comment in the box below 🙂

text: Mike and Ryan went hiking at Grandad Bluff in LaCrosse. Their hike lasted about 2 hours. At first, Mike was fairly unsteady on his feet and nervous, as he tends to question his balance and doesn't like heights. However, with support and encouragement from Ryan, Mike became more steady and confident in himself as he went along. When asked if he had a fun time hiking, Mike stated that he did and would likely do it again! Way to go Mike for challenging your fears. Way to go Ryan for offering support and encouragement!

PhD*; Pearson, Jessica BA*; Vaillancourt-Morel, Marie-Pier BA*; Bussières, Eve-Line PhD*; Madigan, Sheri PhD†; Lemelin, Jean-Pascal PhD‡; Duchesneau, Andrée-Anne BA§; Hatier, David-Emmanuel BA‖; Royer, François BA¶Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics: January 2014 - Volume 35 - Issue 1 - p 38–43 doi: 10.1097/DBP.0000000000000003 Original Article Abstract Author Information Objective: Different studies have revealed mixed findings regarding the relation between maternal prenatal stress or anxiety (MPSA) and early child cognitive outcome. Different methodological considerations may be linked to the absence of clear support for this hypothesized link. The purpose of this article was to conduct a meta-analysis of this relation while considering the following as potential moderators: (1) pregnancy trimester during which MPSA was assessed, (2) type of MPSA assessment (life events, pregnancy related, subjective assessments), and (3) research design (retrospective or prospective). Other moderators were also examined: child age at assessment and the year of publication. Method: Eleven studies were identified (N = 5903) that examined the relation between MPSA and early child cognitive outcome. Results: A small effect size of r = −.05 was found for this relation. The effect size varied across studies and was significantly moderated by the manner in which MPSA was operationalized (events, subjective assessment of stress or pregnancy-related stress or anxiety) and by whether MPSA assessment took place before or after infant birth. Greater relations to child cognitive outcome were found for postnatal event-based indicators of MPSA. Conclusion: The relation between MPSA and child cognitive outcome seems to be present, but low. Moreover, it is affected by the specific choices made by researchers in the manner in which constructs are operationalized. *School of Psychology, Laval University, Québec City, Canada; †Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada; ‡Department of Psychoeducation, University of Sherbrooke, Canada; §Faculty of Medicine, ‖Department of Psychology, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada; ¶Department of Psychology, University of Québec at Montreal, Montreal, Canada.

Prorogation secrecy
Four years later, hints are emerging as to why former governor-general Michaëlle Jean assented to the Prime Minister's request to prorogue Parliament in 2008 (Jean Feared 'Dreadful Crisis' When Harper Sought Prorogation: Ex-adviser – online, June 26). That this is the most we can get by way of a public accounting of this crucial moment in our country's constitutional history highlights the need for reform.
At the very least, we ought to expect that Parliament, in consultation with the Supreme Court, would provide clear legal guidelines for moments such as these and that governors-general would produce written decisions reflecting these guidelines.
As it stands, we are left with a process that makes the selection of popes seem transparent by contrast.
Craig Keating, Department of History, Langara College, Vancouver
Constitutional scholar Peter Russell on the former governor-general's authorization of the prorogation that saved Stephen Harper: "There was no easy decision that day."
But there was the correct one. And Michaëlle Jean didn't make it.
Louis Desjardins, Belleville, Ont.
Egypt in transition
While it is true that many analysts underplayed the power of the Muslim Brotherhood at the time of the Egyptian revolution, it is a similarly farcical illusion to imagine that the United States could have managed the transition to democracy to bolster other parties before the election (After Mubarak, No More Illusions – June 26). This would almost certainly have led to a second, violent wave of protests.
The truth is that the Muslim Brotherhood's unsavoury statements on Jews are in keeping with anti-Semitic cultural currents in Egypt. These were bound to come out in a democratic process. Yet, the presence of anti-Semitism should not disqualify Egyptians from enjoying representative government. Rather, it should remind us of the urgency of building real connections between Arabs and Jews, in the Middle East and at home.
Mark Krass, Alexandria, Egypt
Evil's elements
Jerry Sandusky, the assistant football coach to the godlike Joe Paterno at Penn State, will likely serve what amounts to the rest of his natural life – a euphemism, given his predilection for unnatural acts with children – in prison (Ex-Penn State Coach Sandusky Guilty On 45 Counts In Sex Abuse Trial – June 22).
As Canadian scholars Varda Burstyn, Bruce Kidd, and Brian Pronger have established, professional and college sport in the U.S. is dominated by a pathological hypermasculinity that often finds outlets in sad ways. On the one hand, there is no venue in our culture where homosociality is so favoured; on the other, that homosociality – which has nothing to do with homosexuality – takes its form in hockey fights, dirty hits and on the football field, and numerous other situations where power seeks to dominate.
The Penn State football program should be discontinued in its entirety for at least a decade. That move would send a message.
Jerry Sandusky is not an idiosyncratic example out of time and space. His acts and the context in which they took place clarify a system in which the banality of evil and the horrendous failure of impersonal bureaucracy came together to produce tragedy.
Geoff Smith, Kingston
Hitting on George
Lonesome George the tortoise failed to mate, so a Swiss zoology graduate "smeared herself with female tortoise hormones and, in the cause of science, spent four months trying to manually stimulate him" ('When He Looked At You, You Saw Time In His Eyes' – June 26). I guarantee the number of hits would have been astronomical if this had appeared on YouTube.
Charles Cook, Toronto
Democrat, autocrat?
Malaysia's human rights record under Prime Minister Najib Razak remains of great concern (Malaysia's Leader – letters, June 25; A Roster Of The Modern Autocrats – June 9). Peaceful protesters are beaten and teargassed by police, hundreds are arrested, temporarily detained and their organization, Bersih, declared illegal.
Their crime? They called for fair elections.
Amnesty International has called for urgent reforms for freedom of assembly and expression, an end to torture and ill-treatment, arbitrary arrest and detention, harsh treatment of refugees and migrants, and executions. These human rights issues are of grave concern to Malaysia's human rights defenders and the international community.
Margaret John, co-ordinator for Singapore and Malaysia, Amnesty International Canada
Empathy, respect
As Margaret Wente (Cosmic Justice? Bully For Us – June 26) says, the main issue has been sidetracked by the outpouring of compassion and outrage over the bus bullies story: How and why did this incident happen? The reasons are myriad, but the means to try to avoid future incidents is clear. Tolerance education and the imperative to teach our children compassion and kindness for others is paramount.
Our solution is to help youth learn strategies on how not to be a bystander, and our programs, which teach over 10,000 students every year effective methods of intervention, are crucial if we are to make any progress in the fight against bullying and other forms of hate. In the long run the teaching of empathy and respect is the only effective approach.
Avi Benlolo, president, Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies
Helmet hard sell
Bike to the Future in Winnipeg expressed dismay when the Manitoba government proposed helmet legislation. Governments should use their resources to improve laws and driver education to make cycling safer, rather than requiring cyclists to wear armour, which they can choose to do themselves to improve their chances of survival (Cycling Helmet Laws Not So Clear-cut On Many Issues – June 25). Legislating a safe passing distance of one metre, and slowing residential traffic to 30 km/h would do much more to protect cyclists.
Charles Feaver, Winnipeg
Helmets save lives and prevent brain injury: I know from my experience as a surgeon and an active cyclist. It is upsetting when preventable death and injury occur because people do not follow simple safety measures.
Paul Goobie, surgeon, Moncton
PM protection
Much as any Canadian PM and his/her family should feel and be safe from harm, $20-million a year for a "world-class" Protection Detail seems excessive (Tightened Tactics Breed Detail Dissent – June 23).
Teaching Stephen Harper karate would be cheaper: Didn't the PM's pal Vladimir Putin save a TV crew from a Siberian tiger attack? And, even without specialized training, Aline Chrétien knew how to wield an Inuit carving.

Re: [existlist] Building a better rationality

- Yes, quite.
I offer a basic proof that one is more than particulate determinism: the event of me saying so is itself the moment of its demonstration. It may be the only thing that really makes it so, in fact. My statement regarding myself as more than 'this', or other than 'that', etc., is the event of its actuality. And only insofar as I then am a consequence of that event in the making (as Badiou says with regard to art, love, politics, and science), can I make of that truth a demand, incontestable and inviolable.
This was precisely what was elided in Heidegger's phenomenology, one might almost say 'repressed'. The existentialia or 'categories' were for him findings. But they are also kernels of power, power that is otherwise turned back on us as bio-power and state-corporate exploitation.

Subject: [existlist] Building a better rationality
This is a good re-start. Science and literature are both important in shaping my philosophy and I agree that reductionism has become the new fundamentalism wed to corporatism. The little bit of Foucault that I read last year introduced me to the idea that science was implemented by various institutions such as military, church, and school in order to individuate (separate) and measure citizens in order and perpetuate the business of delinquency. This, of course, was during the transition from kings to states. The atomistic view of a person was useful to these institutions and provided the government with worthy specimens and those who deserved punishment.
With the advent of advertising, the individual became a target for 'individualized' consumerism. Science has played a tremendous role in reducing people to objects for a long time. Of course, there is little value to human life when we are considered merely pawns and objects, mere assemblages of particles doomed for exploitation from cradle to grave. Literature reminds us, as did the existentialist writers, that we can be more and give meaning to a much greater degree than we are taught. The amazing things which science uncovers are often subjected to the philosophy of a reductionist paradigm when there are other competing paradigms just ripe for the taking.

I have to be careful doing so, as the "science" thing has taken on a virtual fundamentalism of its own, a closed down thinking in the Heideggerian sense. I use two tactics.

I always counter one of these neo-reductionist ditto-heads ("we're all just particles with no meaning, ...") with vignettes from Wilde or Sartre or Nietzsche or Dickens or Giordano Bruno, etc., as citations. I get blank stares often, but I occasionally get through.

So the reaction is to discount that there is any meaning to it. But ... there is.

Welcome Everyone, to my music page!
While I do not claim to be much of a musician, I have always loved to sing and so the heart of the teachings I receive and affirm in my journey on Earth, are offered in folk style hymns that come to me from "out of the blue". I often feel that what comes through is bigger than I had even understood myself, so I trust that this art, as all art is "inspired." I use these hymns in my natural communion programs and often find the best way to relate to natures beauty all around is to sing to her.
Here is my new Carol!
Merry Christmas in a spirit of open sharing and a more Universal interpretation of Christ as God-Union Consciousness, the highest realization expressed in any tradition.
Christmas Reprise!
Holy Lady Mary plays her part
Her manger is now waiting here in my heart
Divine Child of love I make you a nest
Divine Child of Love come be my guest
Your Presence so Divine your Love so True"
You came to show with love what we can do
The Heart of the Christ Child birthed in each one
On a little planet circling the Sun.

Are the three BIGGEST Telecom giants in India who are blinded by their short term company revenues are the real perpetrators of retarding the Growth of Broadband Internet in India?
Premise: Reliance Communication, Bharti Airtel and Tata Indicom all three are offering their wireless datacards for laptops and PCs. These datacards offer various connectivity speeds. However, it's very apparent that the bad wireless infrastructures, poor dataspeeds and over all un-satisfactory customer service is retarding and shooing away the customers from Internet. People get a very poor user experience and the overall confidence in the online media as the main stream media gets distorted completely. Day-by-day poor online experiences just adds to the frustation of new and existing users and end up making people anti-online. What could become as one of the biggest strength of India in uniting and bringing education and more jobs to the country may just go down the drain if appropriate steps are not taken.
A country like India where people plan months ago to buy their next gadget and save money meticulously and buy their dream gadget get fooled by buying such stupid datacards for better Internet connectivity.
The Proof: The Internet by its own nature of bringing the Voice of each customer to one common platform shows the PROOF of pathetic service, speed and connectivity issues which came along with these Wireless Data Cards from Reliance, Airtel and Tata Indicom.
Mouthshut.com an Online user generated content company which provides a platform to Indian users to post their personal experiences in terms of product reviews is just filled with BAD reviews about all these three service providers.
Reviews on Reliance Wireless Data Cards
Reviews on TATA Indicom Wireless Data Cards and USB Modems
Reviews on Bharti Airtel Wireless Data Cards and USB Modems
If this isin't proof enough, do a simple google search and over 50,000 review related search results will show up...mostly people crying out loud at the bad service or drivers or connectivity and bad user experiences.
Strategic Flaw or The Time is not right?
Well a lot of top honchos sitting in those top management plush seats would want to argue that this is not a strategic fault and they do offer Broadband Internet services but people are not ready to take those services up. Well obviously if you produce those stupid Datacards in BULK and push them through a marketing plan, people are bound to get driven. However, it's a SHORT term retarding growth strategy for overall Internet Adoption Strategy for the country. In a way the Datacards and USB modems etc are detrimental to the growth of the Internet adoption and widespread in India. And the best part is both Broadband and datacards are coming from the same Telecom company (Irony Simplified)!
When over 4 Millions users have adopted broadband internet (refer to TRAI report, July-08) there are very few reasons why others wouldn't want to adopt it. The reason (primarily) is high bandwidth cost and lesser education and awareness. Well if you have to shell out Rs 999 per month to get a decent broadband connectivity per month, obviously you are discouraging people from adopting Internet. When Mobile recharges come in small pre-paid values, why don't we allow the users to have low cost flexibility for a LONG Term Internet penetration and growth in country.
Conclusion: The short term revenues of organizations which are blinding them for providing poor infrastructure and bad connectivity should be overcome quickly. The Broadband Internet services should be provided at cheaper rates fueling the Internet demand in India. Improvement of Wireless Broadband, Cost reduction and better infastructure can really contribute to the fast paced growth. Public Private Partnership based Awareness and Education sessions to masses about the benefits of internet should be conducted to help promote the Internet growth in India.

My dear,
Don't talk to me about death. Death is nothing, there's nothing to fear there.
Have you ever starved your belly for three days, and not by choice? Have you ever roamed the streets, homeless, and when asked just casually told people you were out about? Have you ever poured your heart out, and watched no one care? Have you ever been right all along, and been stoned for it? Have you ever shut your mouth about your life's truths, about what you've been through, just because it's been so tragic – and you didn't want to ruin someone else's life by opening up yours?
There are worse things in life than death.
Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Falsely yours,
Woody Allen

On Saturday, June 28, 2014, at the U.S. Navy Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii, Flight 648NT, the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) test was successfully completed. As the first of its kind for NASA Balloons, the test had two phases. First, the successful launch and ascent of a 1 million cubic meter balloon carrying over 3,500 kg from the newly designed and built static launch tower. The second phase of the test began after the balloon reached its designed float altitude of approximately 36 km. The LDSD Test Vehicle was then dropped from the balloon and the rocket motor ignited. The Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (SIAD) and supersonic parachute were deployed in sequence. The SIAD and parachute are being tested to enable for a "softer" landing of heavier masses on the planet Mars. Both the balloon and test vehicle were recovered successfully from the Pacific.

Considering its importance, ICCI is collaboration with Capital Development Authority is working on the project of establishing a new Industrial Estate in Islamabad, as in the current industrial setup there is no further space to install new industries. CDA has started acquisition of land and it is expected that within next couple of years a new industrial estate shall be established in Islamabad in sector I-17 with modern facilities. We are sure that with the inception of Industrial estate, foreign companies, along with the local companies, will have great chances to invest in it for profitable businesses and joint ventures.

Yum, is there anything better than a nice slice ofhomemade chocolate pie for dessert when you have a hankering for something chocolate? If you ask me there isn't so it's about time I shared one of my favorite pie recipes. Enjoy!
Homemade Chocolate Pie Recipe
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 5 eggs (separate yolks and whites)
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 12oz can of evaporated milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups water
- 2 baked pie crusts (recipe makes 2 pies)
I usually start this pie by making a recipe of my double pie crust and baking them. It helps to weigh the pie crusts down with another pie pan filled with beans. If baking pie shells is not your thing, you can of course use a prebaked one, or even a graham cracker crust.
While the pie shells cool, let's make the filling. You will need a large pot and a metal bowl that fits into the pot. If you happen to have a double boiler, you can of course also use it. Put some water in the pot and bring it to a boil over medium to medium high heat. Add the metal bowl and while the water simmers away, add the sugar, egg yolks, flour, cocoa, milk and vanilla. Stir everything together really well and keep whisking away until the mixture begins to thicken. You are basically making a chocolate custard here. Pour the mixture into the pie crusts.
Now it's time for the topping. Beat egg whites with 1/2 cup of sugar until light and frothy. Spread on top of pies and bake at 350 degrees until pies are light brown.
