Los Angeles, Calif., Mar 18, 2014 / 06:07 pm MT ().- Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles gave his blessing Sunday to a group of children and immigration reform advocates who are traveling to Rome to ask Pope Francis for his help and benediction.
"Father, we ask You to bless our brothers and sisters, as they begin their long journey to Rome," Archbishop Gomez prayed March 16. "Help them to walk with Jesus. Give them courage and joy as they stand with Your poor in their struggle for dignity and justice."
"Teach us all to love others as You love them. Grant that we might be holy as You are holy," he continued, at the closing Mass of the 2014 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress at the Anaheim Convention Center.
"And guide us to reform our immigration policies, so that our country may live up to its beautiful promises of liberty and justice for all."
The group includes children whose families face the threat of deportation from the U.S. because they do not have proper documentation.
According to the Orange County Register, the group has chosen 10-year-old Jersey Vargas, the daughter of undocumented immigrants, as their representative to the Pope. Vargas, who was born in the U.S. and will be making her first flight on an airplane, wants to give the Holy Father a card and talk to him.
"We are not criminals. My parents came to this country for a better life. But my dad is in immigration detention and I'm afraid he will be deported. I am going to tell the Pope I feel very sad," she told the Orange County Register.
Organizers say they are seeking a private audience with the Pope, to deliver hundreds of letters from children whose families face the threat of deportation. They want to ask him to address the question of immigration with U.S. president Barack Obama when the two leaders meet later this month.
During his homily at the Mass, Archbishop Gomez said, "the Church's mission is a mission of mercy – because mercy is the face of God and the heart of the Gospel."
He reflected on the missionary theme of "setting the world on fire," connecting it to the Lenten path of continuous renewal.
"Our Christian life is a journey of conversion, of transfiguration," he said, pointing to the Gospel passage in which Christ is transfigured and God's glory is revealed: "for one brief moment, we see our destiny – and the path we are meant to follow in our lives."
As Christians, we must also seek to have our lives transfigured to be more like Jesus, Archbishop Gomez said.
"That's our vocation. Our calling. That's why God made us! To be transformed and transfigured. To become more like Jesus every day of our lives, until one day we are raised up in the Resurrection, when he will change our earthly body to be like his own glorious body."
Since his election a year ago, Pope Francis has been teaching us by his example how to be continually transformed by the Beatitudes, the archbishop said.
"He is calling us to be poor in spirit – to live with less so we can give more to our neighbors in need. He is calling us to hunger for justice – to reach out to the poor and vulnerable and to build a society where everyone lives with the dignity that God intends."
Archbishop Gomez encouraged participants to "pray for the courage to be missionary disciples who 'give our faith an essence through deeds.'"
"My brothers and sisters, our society needs more justice and more mercy. And that's our mission. The mission of the Church."
The archbishop recommended the Beatitudes as a path for Christian life, pointing to the examples of the saints as well as modern figures such as César Chavez, the son of immigrants who grew up picking crops in California and became a "great civil rights leader who fought for farm workers and for Latinos in our country."
"César Chavez was a man of prayer and man of peace. Learning about his life tells me that he had a deep devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and that he tried to live the Beatitudes in his daily life," Archbishop Gomez said. "He fought for justice for his people — using the spiritual weapons of prayer, fasting, and self-sacrifice; and he always urged non-violence."
"I've been also thinking a lot about César Chavez these days, as we continue to struggle for immigration reform. To me, justice for immigrants is one of the great human rights issues of our time."

'Small Town News' website set up
To review some basic information that is not on the website:
I was inspired to write "Small Town News" after the death of Dr. Greg Smith, the superintendent who hired me to teach creative writing at Diamond Middle School in August 1999. I was always disturbed by the ease with which some local media linked Dr. Smith's disappearance and the robbery at the Diamond bank, which occurred on the same day...even after it was proven that he had nothing to do with that robbery. I was bothered by the way Dr. Smith's family was treated and I decided in the spring of 2002 that I would write a novel based on those events.
I have always loved to write murder mysteries, so the story has been heavily fictionalized, taking only the basic premise, then sending it off in some different directions than what happened in reality.
The book has considerable differences from the e-book version that circulated three years ago.
The publisher is IUniverse and yes, that is a print-on-demand company and I am paying a small amount to have it set up. This is not a John Grisham or J. K. Rowling deal. I had five publishers and two agents tell me that the book was good, and encouraged me to keep trying to get it published, but it is almost impossible to get published they told me, unless you are one of the two authors named above, or someone with the notoriety of a Paris Hilton or a Pamela Anderson. The reaction surprised me, since the last time I tried to sell a book, 26 years ago, all I received from publishers were form rejection letters. This led me to believe that I might have something a little more substantial on my hands.
My hope is to sell enough to make the novel a viable project for a larger publishing company, and my deal with IUniverse permits that step to be taken at any time that an offer is made to me.
I will update everyone, both on this page and on the Small Town News website when the book is officially available.
Thanks to everyone who has asked me for more information on the book. Your support has been much appreciated.

Congratulations on the publication of your novel.
As a writer myself, however, I have to disagree that it is impossible to get published unless your name is Grisham....it is possible and indeed probable to be published by a traditional publisher.
Best of luck, however, perhaps this can be a springboard to bigger and greater things!
I purchased the Ebook and loved it! I am not a reader, but found myself taking my 3-ring binder everywhere I went until I finished the book. Randy, I'm looking forward to purchasing the published version.
Congratulations, Mr. T, and I love the picture that's on the website (will it be on the back cover?) :-) I'm going to pick up at least one copy when it comes out...
- Randy said...
Yes, that photo will be on the back cover. I have been telling everyone that the picture on the front cover was me 25 years ago, but for some reason no one believes me.

Despite Hurricane Sandy, the US Supreme Court heard arguments on Monday, October 29, 2012 on whether the "first-sale doctrine" of US copyright law applies to goods made outside the US. The substance of the case, as we reported to you previously, is the specific language in the first-zero rule which applies to goods "lawfully made under this title," referring to the caps US Copyright Act.
During oral arguments, several of the justices indicated that the statutory language could be interpreted several ways, leaving the possibility that policy considerations might motivate the final decision in the case.
We will report back as soon as the Court's decision issues, which is not expected for many months.

Things we need to know:
- how effects (and strength of effects) of created potions are determined
- how weight, icon and name of created potions are determined
- chance of failure
- skill gain

So it seems we have some data, but not nearly enough. Beyond my original request, we also need to figure out:
- the cost of created potions
- the effect of the other alchemy tools (we only have data for mortar and alembic)
Duration, which I had missed in my original request, seems to be covered.
sir_herrbatka wrote: calcinator increases all effects (duration and power) of mixtureretort increases the positive effects only.
Code: Select all
duration_with_calcinator = duration_without_calcinator * ( 1 + quality_of_calcinator)
Probably based on duration. Gonna check it.the cost of created potions
sir_herrbatka wrote: The way morrowind calculates cost of created potions is just silly.
Code: Select all
duration = [(Alchemy + [(Intelligence + Luck) / 10]) / Cost] * quality_of_the_mortar
and the cost seems to be:Where x is some kind of small value, based on something that should not be so hard to find. Actually I think that it can be just a plain constant "4"
Code: Select all
[(Alchemy + [(Intelligence + Luck) / 10]) ] * quality_of_the_mortar - x
It ignores if potion have more than one effect (or negative one), it dosen't care about other tools, and unlike I said it is not based on duration.

Offal of the Week: The End of the Road
Every Friday, we bring you Offal of the Week: an up-close and personal look at one of the less-familiar parts of the animal. Delivered fresh by Ryan Adams of the blog Nose to Tail at Home, we highlight a different cut of meat that you've always wanted to make, but were afraid to ask your butcher for. This week: goodbye.
They say all good things must come to an end, and, while I hate to sully your holiday cheer with bad news, the time has come for Offal of the Week to retire. Due to the fact that we've covered pretty much every type of offal available (with two notable exceptions: animal fetuses and genitalia, about which there is very little information that I want to share), this will be the last Offal of the Week update. But don't fret, dear readers! In the new year I'll be starting a new column in this space, one that I'm really excited about, details of which will be announced soon. In the meantime, I leave you with these words, and some of my favorite OOTW posts:
Back when I first started working my way through Chef Fergus Henderson's cookbook, The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating (Amazon), I had my fears. The idea of eating brains and tripe and guts turned my stomach something fierce. But having taken that plunge, I now know that there is much, much goodness to be found in those bits that many folks discard without a second thought.
This is my plea to you: Go find yourself some expertly prepared offal and take that leap of faith. If you're in San Francisco, head to Incanto. If you're in New York, make a beeline to Babbo. Next time you find yourself at the taco truck, order the lengua (tongue) tacos. When you go out for dim sum, say yes when the waiter offers you Phoenix Claws (chicken feet). Not only will you be expanding your palate and your culinary experiences, but you might just find something you really, really enjoy.
It has been a truly great experience exploring the world of offal with all of you, and I can't wait 'til you see what new adventures I have lined up. For now, I leave now with these words of wisdom from one of my personal heroes, Timer, of 70s Saturday morning cartoon fame: "Don't knock it till you try it, put a little on your plate, don't make a face before you taste it, some kids think it's great!"
Ryan's Favorite OOTW Posts
- Offal of the Week: Caul Fat
I really enjoyed writing about caul fat and it's multitude of uses. Right after the post was published, I went out and bought five pounds of it!
- Offal of the Week: Five Chefs Who Embrace The Nasty Bits
As someone that cooks offal on a regular basis, these five chefs are my biggest inspirations. This was my personal love letter to them.
- Offal of the Week: Brains
Out of all of the nasty bits, brains seem to gross people out the most. Seeing that great big picture of a lamb brain at the top of the page just brings a smile to my face.
- Offal of the Week: Haricots Verts with Fatback and Dirty Turkey Rice

Can Design Tell a Story?
The same exists today. Stories are all around us each day, everyday. Some are better than others and everyone has preferences, but think about this... movies, music, and art are just forms of storytelling. Design works the same way. Every company's brand tells the tale of who they are and what they do. It's something that is always at the forefront when I'm designing for a client, especially small business. My client asked me "So what about a vacuum cleaner? Does that have a story?" Sure it does, as the technology has advanced so has the design behind these appliances. Very few vacuum cleaners use those old dusty bags anymore and instead use cyclone air passages to pick up dirt. The industrial designers (such as James Dyson) are telling the story of the greener and more efficient needs of the time.
I say this because whenever you're looking to have something designed whether it be a logo, a website or even a brochure. Make sure the designer is telling your story so it will convey what's important to the businesses and clients you work with.
As a bonus, let's try a little exercise. As you can see above, there are no word or thought balloons present on this design. I wanted the image itself to tell the story. It's titled "Welcome to Earth, Spaceboy". Can you tell me what the story here is?

Great points Dennis. The boy is saying "this doesn't look like Kansas Toto" :)
Design definitely tells a story. When I look for images to accompany either an article or a video I am creating, I pay close attention to the congruency of the message/story the image tells and the message in the article or video. Thesaurus.com becomes my friend.

Spoken as a true designer. You obviously want to design a logo and marketing materials that communicate your client's brand rather than just create something. Hopefully, your client will listen to you. :)

The client is always right unless he is wrong. Design should tell a story or not be there. A logo is a visual cue to a brand.

House Passes Amendment Rolling Back Jeff Sessions' Civil Asset Forfeiture Expansion
from the LOAD-LAST-SAVE? dept
Trump's pick for attorney general unsurprisingly holds the same ideals as his boss. He also holds the same misconceptions and misplaced nostalgia for tough-on-crime policing that went out of vogue as soon as it became apparent it wasn't doing anything but filling up prisons.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been going hot and heavy on a 1980s-esque law enforcement policy revival. He booted the DOJ off the civil rights beat, telling states and cities to solve their own police misconduct problems -- something they were clearly unwilling to do on their own, hence the DOJ's intercession. He told cops they're getting back their access to war gear, rolling back the Obama administration's minimal 1033 program reforms.
He's been touting tougher policing and tougher sentencing, using a false narrative of a country under siege by drug dealers and criminal border-jumpers. In a time of historic lows -- both in violent criminal activity and violence towards police officers -- AG Sessions is acting like a street corner preacher, promising an impending apocalypse to anyone who will listen.
Sessions is also peeling away federal reforms to asset forfeiture. He's opened the federal safety valve for civil forfeitures, allowing local PDs to dodge state laws limiting the amount of property they can take from uncharged citizens.
Given the makeup of Congress, one would assume Sessions' ongoing effort to raise US law enforcement to "a law unto itself" level would ride on rails, at least up until midterm elections. Instead, Sessions is facing a literal House divided -- not against itself exactly -- but against him.
In a stunning move, the House of Representatives on Tuesday approved an amendment to the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act that will roll back Attorney General Jeff Sessions's expansion of asset forfeiture.
Amendment number 126 was sponsored by a bipartisan group of nine members, led by Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash. He was joined by Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna of California; Washington state's Pramila Jayapal, a rising progressive star; and Hawaii's Tulsi Gabbard.
If this passes the Senate untouched, the amendment will roll things back to 2015 -- once again prohibiting federal adoption of local forfeitures. It would make state and local agencies play by the rules set for them by their legislatures, rather than allow them to bypass protections put in place to discourage abuse of programs loaded with the most perverted of incentives.

Pension reform should be driven by conservative assumptions -- and a conviction that pensions are about providing security for everyone, not deferred compensation for a few.
But that's a very hard conversation -- for left, right and center.
It's much easier to freak out about numbers.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The state badly needs to have an adult conversation that is not only about public employee pensions but also about retirement security for us all.
The question shouldn't be driven by volatile estimates of future obligations. Pension reform should be about the long term.
Whether you're talking about providing security for workers for decades to come, or whether you're talking about the financial obligations and investments necessary to provide that security.
But the current policy debate about how, or whether, to fix pensions is short-term.
For that reason, the momentum to cut back on pensions for public employees may be about to run out of steam.
That's because the campaign to limit public employee pensions had been fueled too much by numbers.
Big scary numbers that run into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Those numbers represent public pension obligations in California.
Those numbers also are based on slower economic growth and lower investment returns in recent years.
But some of those numbers may be about to get smaller, as CalPERS, the state's leading pension fund, and CalSTRS, the teachers' retirement fund, reported big gains in their investment returns. (See "Pension Funds Fatten Up" by Larry Gerston.)
Opponents of the broader changes on pensions wasted no time trumpeting those investment returns. If CalPERS continues to perform well, it's not hard to imagine the pension debate disappearing for a while.
Which would be too bad.

Jackets have chest pockets for you to stick kerchiefs in them. Those who have dared to take this step once realize that the accessory enriches a man's appearance and distinguishes those dressing stylishly from everyone else.
When choosing a kerchief, make sure it matches the rest of your outfit, but, if possible, do not pick the same fabric and the same pattern that your tie is made of – that would simply look boring.

For the first time in 10 years I came down with the flu. Terrible bodyaches, fever and horrible cough and congestion had me in bed for 2 days. Once I felt the tiniest bit better I was up and full speed ahead. Work at St. John has been crazy, our social calendar full and my neurotic and never-ending "To Do" list never seems to get smaller.
Well after 3 weeks of the flu/cold symptoms not subsiding I finally succombed and and went to the doctor. Let me just say that I rarely get sick, and never to the extent of needing to go to the doctor, so when it finally came time to go I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I finally got an appointment on Friday and after a five minute exam where the nurse practitioner assured me my lungs, ears and throat were free of infection I was told I just had a bad cold that needed to be treated. She prescribed me a heavy duty cough suppresant and told me to pick up three more over-the-counter meds (claritin, sudafed, and mucinex). Well I took all three and then went to a friend's house for some yummy Indian food and a beer. Let's just say by 9 pm I was about to pass out and my friends feared I would not be able to drive home! After some yummy homemade chai tea though I perked up a bit, made it home and passed out! (I still made it to bootcamp the next morning even!)
Well enough about me and my never ending cold. On to the family! In the past 3 weeks we've visited Jenn and Baby Brooklyn, worked on our garden by laying the initial planter boxes (we plan to plant next weekend when it warms up a bit), had a very successful Craft Fair at our house, visited Look What I Made, had plenty of playdates and fun dinners with our neighbors and friends & family, prepped for our 2008 tax appointment, and did lots of fun organizing! As usual we never seem to slow down! This was actually the first weekend that we didn't have ANY plans at all and last night after just hanging around the house all day, Taylor asks, "Who's coming over for dinner?" She seemed dissappointed when we told her it would just be us! hahaha!!
Attached are some pictures of some of the organizing I did over the weekend. I was so tired of Taylor's "clippy drawer" being a complete disaster so I took an idea from my neighbor Sarah and hung some ribbon to place her clips on, then hung it in her room. I figure this will make things so much easier for her and me when we are doing our daily routine of choosing her clippys to wear. My friend Chris gave me an awesome idea for organizing Taylor's artwork over the past few years; keep the most inspirational pieces and place them in a book. I made one for 2007, 2008 and started one for 2009. I also grabbed her idea for labeling toys with pictures so that Taylor and the rest of the family can help mommy clean up and stay organized. Am I passing on my neuroses to my children???
lastly, we finally hung the amazing pictures that our sitter Marin took of Sydney on his 1st birthday! She developed the pictures (in a darkroom!) and framed them for our 2008 Christmas present. I felt so bad that we hadn't gotten around to hanging them yet so while Art had out his hammer we finally got it hung. Thank you so much Marin!
Taylor starts Kidnastics tomorrow and I hope and pray it goes well! Wish us luck.
Sydney has started putting 3 words together and his vocabulary overall is just exploding. It's so awesome to see them grow in leaps and bounds in just a couple of weeks!
Here's to growing kids, stealing great ideas from fellow mommys, and over the counter cold medication! Happy Sunday everyone :)

'Take Shelter' Movie Trailer [Video]
You know ... this actually looks really good. I don't think it'll be released nationally, but it might show up at the Robinson Film Center ... if nothing else it looks like it's worth trying to red box / rent. Check the video in this post and tell me your thoughts.

i know, i know. i go through phases. apparently i'm in a chickpea phase.
or a chard phase.
or perhaps a curry phase. but this isn't a curry. so hA!
yea whatever. i'll get more creative when school stops kicking my ass.
adapted from foodnetwork.com. i wanted something chunky and hearty, not soupy, but the spices and flavors of this dish intrigued me. so here's my take on it:
- 1/2 yellow onion, minced
- 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 -1/3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbs paprika
- 1/2 tbs coriander
- 1 tbs brown sugar (there's a lot of acidity in this dish. may need more)
- chili powder (to your level of spicy tolerance)
- 1/2 tbs cumin
- 1/2 tbs tumeric (mostly for the color)
- 1/2 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 cup chicken stock
- pepper
- salt
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 batch rainbow chard
- heat oil in dutch oven.
- saute onions and garlic until translucent – 5-10 min
- combine cinnamon, coriander, paprika, cumin, tumeric, and chili powder in a small bowl, add half to the onions. mix well to distribute.
- add tomatoes and chickpeas, along with about a cup of chicken stock, then the rest of the spices.
- cover and reduce heat to simmer – 30 min.
- rinse and clean chard. remove stems and cut leaves into 2 or 3 inch pieces.
- in a separate pot, boil water and blanch chard for a few seconds until just wilted. remove from water and set aside.
- check on chickpeas. once they're soft and cooked through, squeeze in juice from one lemon. if too soupy, simmer uncovered until liquid reduces.
- mix in chard
- top with several grinds of pepper and salt to taste if needed.

Another thing I started well over a year ago, which have taken me forever to complete. It has been now a year since Grandma left us and I did loose interest in crochet for a while. Last winter was a long one as we sorted her things and dealt with our loss.
These Uggies though would have made her smile!
I made numerous pairs before I got the shaping and sizing right. I have tried to keep these simple. They have a crocheted sole however some non slip goop could be added to the bottom if you wanted to.
The sons' gfs modelled them for me and decided they were very comfy. I have 3 sons and the gfs have learnt that if they eat at my table, then they model my crochet! It is funny how intrigued this Generation y is with old fashioned crafts such as crochet. The lass in the photo below is keen to have me teach her how to crochet. My son wasn't too impressed when she shows more interest in what I am doing than what he is doing! Payback time for the pain I suffered in bringing him into the world, the cracked nipples and other personal sufferings to get him where he is today.
Uggs are an icon down here. It took the fashionistas to make them popular internationally.
While nothing can replace the original sheepskin Ugg, my crochet ugglies are a bit of fun. The pattern can be worked in 8 ply or 12 ply and I am going to experiment with some novelty yarn for the band. I have a pile of fluffy stuff in my stash which might do the trick.
I have listed the patterns on etsy to correspond with the chilly winter down here.
Thanks for looking.

Smart Shopping Tips to Help You Save Money
In the Produce Aisle
Don't overbuy. If you need only a small amount of a food — say, a quarter cup of bell pepper or shredded carrot — getting it from the salad bar can be cheaper than letting the extra go to waste, according to Andrea Astrachan, vice president of consumer affairs for Stop & Shop.
Halve your fruit and eat it too. At Whole Foods Market and Stop & Shop, ask an associate to cut your pineapple in half or sell you just half a bag of grapes.
Know how long each fruit or veggie will stay fresh. Stop & Shop posts a "Food Keeper" guide for customers to consult.
In the Cereal/Grains Aisle
Buy grains and cereal from the bulk bins. "No packaging means they're cheaper, good for the environment, and you can purchase only what you need," says Barry Hirsch, a spokesperson for Whole Foods.
Look for private-label products. Most food chains have them, and some, including Stop & Shop and Albertsons, have introduced organic store-brand lines, which are often priced about 15 percent below national brands.
Take a taste. Just ask and both Whole Foods and Trader Joe's will let you open any package in the store to make sure you like the product enough to buy it. (Leftovers are often given to other customers as samples.)
In the Refrigerator/Freezer Section
Eat more eggs. "At less than 25 cents each, they make a nutritious, low-cost meal," points out Heidi Diller, RD, corporate dietitian for Albertsons.
Buy blocks of cheese instead of preshredded. Convenience foods are more expensive and generally spoil faster, Diller says.
Portion foods yourself. Individually packaged yogurts and other snacks save you time, but the multiserving tub or bag is usually cheaper.
In the Meat/Poultry/Fish Section
Buy frozen fish. "It's often less expensive than fresh, with no sacrifice in quality," Diller says.
Get cold cuts at the deli counter. Packaged from the refrigerator case, they can cost as much as 40 percent more.
Go vegetarian one or two nights a week. Swapping chicken breasts for canned black beans can save you more than $4.

U2 previewed the first song from their Spider-Man musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark this morning, and...wow. It's much, much worse than we'd feared. Did you know if you fly too high, you can get too close to the sun?
That's star Reeve Carney singing "Boy Falls From The Sky," with his band, Carney. He seems like a great singer, and has the right amount of emo charisma to play a singing Peter Parker — but the song? Yeesh. This is making Rent look like an all-time classic. Really, U2? Really?

Music director Anu Malik, who gave the music for Priyanka Chopra's first item number Babli Badmaash in Shootout in Wadala, says the actress did not want vulgar words or skin show in the song.
"I believe they made a lot of songs that didn't click with Priyanka. Those songs were made by various composers and were rejected by Priyanka. Her brief was that she doesn't want any vulgar words and or skin-show," Malik told PTI.
The musician was not the first choice for the music in Sanjay Gupta directed film. Gupta initially called him to do only one song but he ended up doing three songs including the item number.
On how the concept of Babli Badmaash came about, Malik said, "We were sitting in Sanjay Gupta's office with lyrics writer Kumar. Suddenly I had a vision of Priyanka in front of me. She is really bubbly. So I used the word Babli."
The music director, however, believes that a superstar cannot ensure the success of an item number because a catchy tune/music contributes equally to its popularity.
Talking about Priyanka's reaction to the song, Malik said, "Priyanka had called us to her house after listening to the song. She said, 'I got up humming this tune. Priyanka has a great ear for music."
The music director, who has given memorable songs like Chamma Chamma to Urmila Matondkar, Goriye Chali to Shilpa Shetty, hopes Priyanka will come to be known as 'Babli'.
Malik believes the secret of his more than 30-year long career in Bollywood is his ability to churn out music that public likes.
"I make catchy, easy music which the public can grasp easily. Making an easy song is very tough. I believe in working very hard on the mukhda. The first four lines of the paragraph are the king. Indian public loves the mukhda."
Malik's next film is Hera Pheri 4.

Lost Futures:
"Lisa Tuttle's best fiction is like a slow settling of vast planes of thought and emotion — luminous, quiet, wry and often bitter. The edges almost always admit other worlds, sometimes horrific, whose full import may be revealed, fully and skillfully, in a single, telling line."– Kathleen Ann Goonan, The New York Review of Science Fiction

Music is an integral part of every culture that has come to be since the dawn of time. Within every society that has managed to survive to our modern age music has also thrived, branching out in as many directions as there are people within those societies to create it. As these societies began connecting and growing, their unique experiences and histories bring with them their own artistic expressions.
In Egypt music is a varied as it is treasured. From Quranic recitals that are sung across the city in mosques, to the gritty and often telling tales found in rap, all forms of music are available to those who search for it. Perhaps one of the most unexpected and yet increasingly present forms of music in Egypt is the metal genre, whose artists and fans find themselves living in parallel with a society that is largely ignorant and at the same time apprehensive of the fast riffs, aggressive drum style and often coarse tone of voice that the genre presents.
Metal is an umbrella term which does the gnere little justice. It is a label applied without knowledge of content or context of the music itself. This erroneous interpretation of an art form, which constantly changes, has not succeeded in eliminating its existence but has bred a subculture that is now part of the very fabric of Egypt.
Anarchy – order within the chaos
One band that has delved into the metal genre is Anarchy, a group of five Egyptian men whose upcoming (and as of yet unnamed) debut album tells tales of mythology. Their songs go through different periods of mythological history from around the world. "We like to think of our music as having a certain artistic quality which allows you to enjoy it in several different moods," lead singer Adham Kafafy explained.
To the group, being identified as a certain genre of metal could be misleading. "Every genre in metal has in turn its own subgenre which in turn has its own subgenres," Kafafy explained. The most common type of music in Egypt is oriental, which finds its way into every other genre. It is because of this that many bands have such strong oriental influences in their songs. To Kafafy, what makes a band ultimately good is the ability to drift from one genre to another in order to find their influences and their own style. For an artist, the most precious part of it all is the ability to enjoy and express yourself to the fullest of your abilities.
This is how Kafafy spoke of his music, referring to songs such as The Battle Within, a song, which delves into the internal struggle between good and evil. It is about that voice inside of you which always warns you when you go astray. "When you are faced with the choice; do you listen to it or do you turn your back to it?" Kafafy asked. The band is associated with what is known as progressive metal, a genre filled with storytelling.
Once their first album is released, Anarchy will be working on their second album, which will feature more modern stories. "Perhaps it would be something political or something inside your own mind. It could be a location or an event," but at this point they want to leave it a mystery.
"We have been playing the line-up of our first album for the past two years," lead guitarist Ahmed Raouf said. It has given them the opportunity to fine-tune their music, producing a polished album the members can be proud of. "We only managed to start recording this year, so it is not a new release as much as it is bringing the show to the people through electronic and hard-copy distribution." Raouf said the group had chosen to use a six-string guitar for this album but will be focusing on the seven-string guitar for their next album.
Completing the band alongside Kafafy and Raouf are Peter Ayman on rhythm guitar, Hazem Sherif on bass and Naeyr Ossama on drums. What makes this line-up so unique is their refusal to recycle riffs, making every segment of the song a unique part of the music. These segments act like markers within the song, allowing you to place where along the track you are solely by listening to the melody.
By definition, anarchy is not the presence of chaos, but the absence of order. The word stems from the ancient Greek words of an and archos meaning to have no ruler. By disregarding the common rule of rhythm and repetition, Anarchy was born.
Glory, fame and fortune are certainly part of what makes being a musician attractive, yet Anarchy has remained level-headed over the years. Granted there is a severe shortage in rolling red carpets on the Hollywood-scale of things in Egypt, their fans nevertheless recognise them on the streets.
"You won't find large groups of metalheads gathered together outside of a concert setting," Raouf said. "At most, there will be a handful of people because the community isn't as established like those in Finland, New Zealand or the United States."
"The good thing about it is that we are treated like normal people by our fans and that is also largely due to the fact that we share a special relationship with them," Kafafy said. After a set the band is known for their personal approach, jumping into the crowd and spending time with fans. "We often go out for dinner with them, or spend a night in their company," Raouf explained. "Without our fans we are nothing."
Wyvern – Breaking through the barriers
Growing up, the members of Wyvern were attracted to metal music due to its distinctive nature. The depth of the lyrics, the issues addressed by the songs, the prominent riffs and grooves, the compositions, the vocals, the guitar solos are all just a few of the reasons that drew them to heavy metal in a pop-dominated culture. The founding line-up, when Wyvern was formed in 2003, had Marawan Shaaban and Sherif Alaa on guitars, Hameed on bass and Seif El-Din Moussa on drums.
Starting as a cover band, Wyvern played songs from their favourite bands like Metallica, Megadeath, Iron Maiden and Sepultura. A year later, Wyvern performed their first single, Sex for Sale. The track criticised the state of the mainstream music scene, how it was overpowered with obscene, profit-oriented songs, which lacked musicianship and songs revolving around poorly handled issues that were usually performed by mediocre musicians. Adham Roshdy joined Wyvern as their lead vocalist in 2006 when the band started shifting towards original material.
By the turn of the 21st century, metal concerts in Egypt attracted an audience of 800 to 1000 people at most. Wyvern's performance at the SOS music festival was the first time a heavy metal band performed for a large audience since 1997; an audience of about 15,000 people. This performance was featured as a breakthrough for metal music in Egypt in a BBC coverage of the event. The band delivered their music to over 20,000 people at other instalments of the festival.
By 2008 the band recorded their first album titled The Clown. It was the first legally-licensed heavy/thrash metal album in Egypt. One of the obstacles the band faced while recording and releasing the album is that most of the audio engineers in Egypt lack relevant experience and knowledge about the genre's sound. "I wasn't involved in the recording process from the beginning", said Essam Al-Saharty, audio engineer on The Clown. Wyvern asked Al-Saharty to join the team, in the middle of the recording process, and help them achieve a better production from the available recorded tracks. Al-Saharty said that due to the tight timeframe, he was forced to accept the recorded sessions the way they were, and that the sessions did not adhere to the desired standards of the genre. Before starting the recording process, Wyvern did not choose the relevant person for the job. "It's not that the engineers are bad, it's only that they do not understand the sound of metal and there was a lack of experience in the record-taking process," Al-Saharty explained.
"Egypt is not a good market for heavy metal," drummer Seif said, referring to the obstacles a band faces. The members were oppressed along the years for trying to uphold metal music in Egypt. The group believed many people had placed little faith in their ability to succeed and singing in English would not make it easier for them to find a producer.
Wyvern's line-up has significantly changed over time, "I lost count," Seif said. In 2010, Sherif the guitarist was replaced by Mohamed "Ousso" Lotfy who performed with the band until halfway through this year. Hameed wanted to explore and engage in different musical directions. Feeling that he would not be able to offer a great input to Wyvern, he decided to leave the band in 2011. "I received a phone call from Marawan asking me whether I wanted to join Wyvern or not, and my answer was an absolute yes," said Osama Salah, Wyvern's current bassist. Later in the year, Rami Sidky joined the band replacing Ousso, who had moved to England.
There are many reasons behind the changes in the band's line-up. "Nothing that has to do with the relationships between the band members though," said Seif. Marawan believes that one of the reasons why members leave a band in general is frustration and despair. "They feel that the path they are following is not taking them anywhere," Marawan said. He added however, that those who truly believe in what they are doing are still in the band.
Heavy metal tackles and addresses personal, psychological, social and philosophical issues. "We channel our frustration regarding troubling issues into music rather than other dysfunctional expressions," said Marawan. For instance, Wyvern's Dr Butcher attacks the brutality behind illegal organ trading, while Fallen Idol tackles the issue of being deceived and disappointed by the very people we look up to.
The band shares a diverse pool of musical backgrounds, which results in the unique sound of their music. Wyvern is currently working on their second album, blending their different musical experiences towards a modern-oriented sound, while maintaining the profound characteristics of old-school metal.
The band has turned their attention to finding a respectable international label under which they can further develop their talents and expose their music to the world. "The band has enough experience and repertoire to make that breakthrough, focusing on the creation of good music and going international will definitely work out," said Ramy, Wyvern's current guitarist.
Massive Scar Era – Challenging societal sensibilities since 2005
Defying virtually every concept of women in the predominantly conservative Egyptian society, Massive Scar Era (Mascara for short) began as an all-female, four-piece, face-melting band. In 2005, Sherine Amr lifted her guitar, and with a combination of talent and passion began to work on what was to become Mascara. Over the next year her dedication led her to find Nancy Mounir, the violinist that solidified their musical identity.
Over the next two years the group was frequently undergoing changes in the line-up, with Nancy and Sherine being the permanent members. Finding ways to fuse Sherine's passion for punk and hardcore music and Nancy's eloquent classical melody, the girls managed to draw the attention of several venues and events in their hometown of Alexandria, eventually being invited to play at the SOS music festival.
By 2009, Sherine and Nancy decided to take their act to Cairo, and due to the frequency of their line-up rotation and the talent pool available in Cairo, the girls decided to forego the notion of an all-female group and took on Youssef Altay as the drummer. In that year, the group was given their first international stage in Sweden, at the annual Sweden Rock Festival. The band performed alongside musical giants such as Motörhead and Immortal.
Calling the current line-up a metal band may be a mistake, as their effective combination of thrash and classical melody leave many people surprised. "We play post-melodic hardcore, which is a mix between the hard-core riffs and many other genres," Sherine explained. "We often have a wide mix of pop, punk and oriental influences, along with both the screaming vocals and the melodic soprano."
This musical smorgasbord was not the end-goal Sherine had envisioned, saying the style had chosen them. Their current line-up consists of Sherine on vocals and guitar, Karim Ashraf on bass, Nancy and her violin and Maged Faltas on the drums. "I come from a punk and hardcore background," Sherine explained. "Nancy comes from a very classical and oriental background, Karim comes from metalcore and Maged comes from a hardcore and blues background."
Being accepted in Egypt's metal scene as a woman was very hard for Sherine and having a female leading the group hadn't made their job easier. "Most of the other bands did not take us seriously and did not really accept us," Sherine said.
"The other bands began taking us seriously when we started touring outside of Egypt in 2009," Sherine explained. Their performance in Sweden was not merely as another band in a festival but as representatives of Egypt's internationally untapped musical market, the unelected spokespersons. "Many bands," Sherine began, "were very excited for us but some bands got upset," due to what they perceived to be an unfair advantage given to Mascara simply for having women in the group. "It is very stupid to be honest, but we have to deal with this kind of mentality in our society." Driving the point home, Sherine pointed out that they are musicians and should not be valued according to their gender. "I choose to ignore those people and carry on with creating music."
Mosh-Pit Maniacs – Hijacking the airwaves one song at a time
Mosh-Pit Maniacs (MPM) may very well be the only metal radio station in Egypt, or at the very least the most well-known by some margin. It was launched in April 2011 through an online radio channel now known as capitalclubradio.com. The creator of MPM, Baron Daimonos as he is known in the scene, was offered to launch an online metal radio show by the owner of Capital Club Radio, Ossama Kamal.
"The main reason behind starting the show," Daimonos explained, "was the lack of an on-air portal that reflects our metal music scene in Egypt and the Middle East." This new project allowed for the listeners to become familiar with new bands, expanding their libraries and promoting the art through osmosis. His radio show allowed the listeners to "get to know more about bands they have been listening to and bands that they will listen to for the first time and throughout their musical life," Daimonos said. "The show aims to upgrade listeners' information levels when it comes to metal music and certainly to update their music libraries with everything that is new and good."
Daimonos remembers his first hosting session very well, and recalled his enthusiasm in promoting all things metal. "I remember hosting the first two episodes with a message to familiarise non-metal music listeners with all heavy metal sub-genres, as one of the show's messages is to familiarize non-metal music listeners with metal music's tunes, philosophy and lifestyle in general." Since its inception, Daimonos has interviewed several Egyptian bands, including Crescent, Black Rose and Sinprophecy. The plethora of genres and subgenres, "from heavy metal and the new wave of British heavy metal to the dark recesses of black metal," Daimonos said, creates a near bottomless pool of styles and bands.
Egypt's metal is in great part influenced by other musical genres, which have grown alongside Egypt's culture such as oriental music, and it is in this unique aspect that Egypt is just like any other metal scene in the world. It has the devoted metalheads that go to as many concerts as they can , often travelling from city to city for separate concerts. Daimonos points out that the metal scene is mostly concentrated in the large Egyptian cities of Alexandria and Cairo.
Metal will always exist in Egypt, Daimonos believes. Regardless of any political developments in the country he is confident that metalheads will still enjoy the music. It is from the musical side of things that raises concerns to Daimonos, who is adamant that the relatively low number of bands performing in Egypt are often ill-suited in their attempts at generating music that can be bearable to listen to. "Old is gold," Daimonos said, "in Egypt this is often the case."

We are proud to present our latest limited edition bottle exclusively for travelers,
Absolut World. Absolut World has been designed in collaboration with Swedish Illustrator Kari Modén, known for her characteristically decorative, colorful and joyous style. The design is an expression of celebrating global unity and the values that unite people around the world: love, peace and togetherness. Absolut World is now available in selected airports.
Behind the distinctive design of Absolut World is the same Swedish vodka as in a bottle of Absolut Vodka. It is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other vodkas, it doesn't contain any added sugar. In fact, Absolut is as clean as vodka can be. Still, it has a certain taste: rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit. All Absolut Vodka is made in the same distillery, with wheat from the same fields, and water from our own deep well.
This edition's core message of celebrating global unity is manifested by Swedish artist Kari Modén through the use of expressive and familiar symbols such as the hand peace sign for peace, a heart for love, an ampersand for togetherness, and an eye to signal that we aim to see and recognize the best in each other. Written messages such as 'Peace 4 all', 'All together' and 'Love 4 all' are scattered across the design and echo the symbols through words. For this limited edition, the traditional L.O. Smith medallion has been replaced by a pattern representing a world map in bold neon color. The motif is playful, decorative and avant-garde and is the first-time neon colors have been used for an Absolut Vodka bottle design. The neon is beautifully contrasted by touches of gold and strokes in our blue signature color.
Around 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced to Sweden the continuous distillation process with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled a countless number of times. 100 years later, it was reintroduced as Absolut. Just as then, Absolut is produced in Åhus in Southern Sweden. This is also the region where L.O. Smith was born and where the main ingredients wheat and water come from. And since the way Absolut is made won't change, neither will the true taste of our vodka.
Get your friends together and try this delicious Absolut World drink.
Pour Absolut Vodka into a glass, add green melon liqueur and fresh lime juice. Add ice cubes and top up with soda water. Garnish with mini melon balls and mint leaves.

I'm proud to say that my parents (ages 52 and 60) both know how to text, e-mail, and use the television remote. And, I'm guessing that my parents' generation is one of the last generations where it might have been acceptable to not embrace technology.
According to a new Pew Internet report, 72% of adult cell phone users send text messages, which is up from 65% from a year ago. Compare that to the 87% of the teen cell users that text, and the numbers aren't that far apart.
The difference is, of course, in the volume of the number of texts. While adults typically send 10 texts a day, teens send, on average, 50.
Presumably, not to their parents.
