Mumia Abu Jamal was unfairly sentenced to death nearly 30 years ago by the legal system of the state of Pennsylvania, US. Due to public political opposition to his execution and legal discrepancies in the case against him Jamal remains alive, though he is still formally sentenced to death.
He is a published poet, political writer, and radio journalist and a vocal advocate for the rights of oppressed people.

US court grants new sentencing for Mumia Abu-Jamal
By MARYCLAIRE DALE
Associated Press, February 26, 2011
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered a new sentencing hearing for convicted police killer and death-row activist Mumia Abu-Jamal, finding for a second time that the death-penalty instructions given to the jury at his 1982 trial were potentially misleading.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals told prosecutors to conduct the new sentencing hearing for the former Black Panther within six months or agree to a life sentence. Abu-Jamal's first-degree murder conviction still stands in the fatal shooting of Officer Daniel Faulkner, who was white.

Filed under: Perfume reviews | Tags: Be My Valentine, carmelized sugar, Demeter, Demeter Fragrance, floral, fruity, peach skin, spicy, strawberry leaf, unique, Valentine, Ylang Ylang
NOTES (as listed on sephora.com): peach skin, strawberry leaf, carmelized sugar, ylang ylang
CLASSIFICATION: unique, slightly spicy, very slightly fruity, slightly floral
AGE GROUP: college, but more so mature
SIMILAR SCENT(s): n/a
FORM: cologne spray
Indeed, I should start approaching the sampling of a perfume with a more open mind, but I couldn't help but imagine that this perfume would be a home run. Now that I've sprayed it on myself, though, I'm can't find a wash cloth (or gun!) quick enough. For the sake of fragrance fans all over the world, I have decided to go ahead and endure it long enough to write this review.
Okay, I kid. So this stuff isn't the worst stuff in the world, by any means. I've just got to stop expecting anything before I take my first whiff. That's what always gets me all riled up.
I wanted to try this perfume because of the rave reviews it received on sephora.com (you may visit it's product link there by clicking on the picture of the bottle that accompanies this review). It received 4 out of 5 stars, the reviewers used words like "light and sweet," and "fun and flirty." Quite frankly, this fragrance is not either of those when I wear it (much to my dismay).
Please, do not even bother trying to smell this fragrance from the nozzle or in the cap. It may even smell like crap on paper, I'm not sure since I haven't smelled it in that way. It smells 10000% better when applied to the skin, so please only sample it that way – it's the only fair way. Upon first sniff (prior to spraying it on myself), it smelled more like chemicals than a perfume. It reminded me of rubber, and I wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole had I not already purchased the damn stuff.
It gets much, much better once you smell it on your skin. However, "much, much better" when in consideration to the comparison of rubber isn't all that dazzling. But, it's not bad. As I had read from reviews on Sephora, though, it does fade quite quickly. Good news for me, but bad news for any fans of the fragrance.
Upon the initial spray and immediate smell, the scent is not unpleasant, although still not something that I would normally wear. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it smells like, but it is ever-so-slightly fruity, and I suppose the remainder of what I smell could be attributed to florals. Generally, I'm a fruity/floral gal, but not so much in this case. Again, it's not bad, but just doesn't work well on me.
It's definitely not, in my experience, a sweet fragrance whatsoever. It's a very dull (that is not being used as an insult in this instance; it just is) scent overall. The quick fade certainly doesn't help matters, but it is a cologne so that is to be expected. The dry down of this scent gets better and better the more that I smell my wrist. It does indeed smell like the Valentine conversation hearts that I love, but minus the chalky smell that Jax was wondering if it would be accompanied by. No worries there.
This is a cute fragrance, although "cute" isn't really an adjective that college-aged and up perfume wearers are probably going for. I do still consider this one more on the mature side (but not necessarily to be classified as mature) – I wouldn't get this as a gift for my 10 to 13 year old niece. I'd recommend that the wearer be at least 18+, but then again, that's all up to the nose and style of the interested perfume-ista!
(We highly recommend reading our guide to understanding our grading system if you haven't already)
First sniff (bottle): F- –
First sniff (skin): C+
Worn scent: B-
Staying power: D-
Scent as compared to note(s): C (I don't really smell peach or any type of strawberry scent.. and damned if I know what a ylang ylang smells like!)
Bottle: B-
Overall: C
If you like unique fruity florals, this could potentially be for you. Keep in mind it's extremely light, doesn't last very long, and although it's molded after the scent of a candy, it's a bit on the mature side.

Snare by Norah Gaughan
Yarn: Malabrigo Rios
Colour: Cereza
Needles: 3.5mm Round Needles
Start of project: October 9th, 2017
End of project: October 12th, 2017

While I was in Portugal I knit this pretty hat. It is really important to have a new hat while you are around all these cool surfer boys (they always wear hats ;-). I love my version of Snare just as much as the first one I knit and I have since knitted another one for my mum, so it's safe to say this is one of my favourite patterns.

Navigating the Registry Minefield
Registering I Do's and Don'ts
Just like all the other elements associated with your wedding, timing is everything. In order for your guests to have a chance to shop for, and in some instances send your gift, make sure you register at least four to six months before your showers and wedding date.
The idea of people buying you brand-spankin' new sheets, flatware, etc. is understandably exciting, but it doesn't give you a license to go overboard. When registering, choose one or two national department stores your guests are familiar with and that also offer the convenience of online shopping. You can also add a favorite local store if you'd like.
Ready, Set, Careful with that Price Gun!
You know your guests better than anyone. Even if you're not that familiar with your significant other's side of the family, you should know enough about them to understand what they can afford.
When it comes to registering for items, it's always a good idea to offer your guests a range of price-point options. And be honest with yourself. The KitchenAid® Custom Metallic Artisan series is the mother lode of mixers, but if the last brownie you made was in your Easy-Bake Oven, you should resist the urge to put this on your list. However, if your friends and family regularly proclaim your cooking skills as the second coming of Julia Child, scan away!
A good rule of thumb is to register for more gifts than you have guests, so there will be plenty of items to choose from. And remember, you should review your registry often so that you can add or adjust items.
While including registry information has become somewhat acceptable for shower invitations, it is still a huge faux-pas when it comes to your wedding invitation.
Close friends and family will have knowledge of where you're registered, so let them spread the word. Or, if you have a wedding Web site, you can include all your registry info there. Another way to commit social suicide is to ask your guests directly for money. If you're already an established couple and don't want or need another dishtowel, there are Web sites that allow you to register for stocks, honeymoon amenities, or you can set up a housing fund through your bank.
Your wedding is one of the best days of your life, so have fun! Just keep in mind that a gracious bride is always more attractive than a blushing one.

The long awaited remaster of Final Fantasy 12 will be launching on the PS4 exclusively next month. And in a new post on the PlayStation Blog, Square Enix's producer Hiroaki Kato talked about the game and its visual bump over the original game, also confirming that the game will indeed get a further visual bump on the PS4 Pro.
"Oh yes, the resolution increases even more if you play this title on a 4K compatible TV with a PS4 Pro, so please try it out if you have the environment to do so," Kato said.
Which sounds great- especially since the art of Final Fantasy 12 was always great, and the game was only done in by being on constrained technology. Hopefully, it can now bloom into the beautiful game it always hinted at being. Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age will be available on the PS4 exclusively next month. You can check out a new trailer for the game below.

But this isn't the gem that I'm talking about. Nah there's nothing all that special about my horribly done house tour. But this next video is the jewel I'm raving about. It's Rob's version. If you notice in the video above, you can hear Rob talking in the background and you saw him a couple times with my own camera in hand. Well, this is what he made (just so you know this video is a little broken up because we didn't figure out how the video mode on my nice camera worked so it kept stopping):
Okay, okay, so I'm sure you don't think is is quite as funny as I do. But when you compare the two videos and what Rob was up to in the background of mine and how desperate I was to ignore him and why I would randomly laugh or attempt not to. My funny man!
I just hope you enjoyed the videos. Sorry for all the food posts lately. I hope to do more posts like this.

Baby "Bea" joins Orkney Sub-Aqua Club in presenting cheque to Kirkwall RNLI
Calendar sales raise funds for RNLI.
A cheque was presented at the lifeboat station on Sunday morning. Coxswain Stewart Ryrie received the cheque from Club Member Ian Potten. Also there for the presentation were fellow sport divers Penny Martin as well as Ivan and Amy Houston along with their daughter Bea. They all enjoyed a tour of the lifeboat, especially young Bea who was clearly excited to see the boat and to be an RNLI supporter before she can even dive with the club.
Two photos are attached. They show the dive club members and crew on Kirkwall lifeboat Margaret Foster before Sundays exercise.

Notes to editors
• Kirkwall lifeboat station has been operating since 1974. To learn more about the lifeboat station go to www.rnli.org.uk/kirkwall
Key facts about the RNLI
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. Our volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 238 lifeboat stations, including four along the River Thames and inland lifeboat stations at Loch Ness, Lough Derg, Enniskillen, Carrybridge and Lough Ree. Additionally the RNLI has more than 1,000 lifeguards on over 240 beaches around the UK and operates a specialist flood rescue team, which can respond anywhere across the UK and Ireland when inland flooding puts lives at risk.
The RNLI relies on public donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. As a charity it is separate from, but works alongside, government-controlled and funded coastguard services. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824 our lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved at least 140,000 lives. Volunteers make up 95% of the charity, including 4,600 volunteer lifeboat crew members and 3,000 volunteer shore crew. Additionally, tens of thousands of other dedicated volunteers raise funds and awareness, give safety advice, and help in our museums, shops and offices.

The tutor will introduce your child to the eight parts of speech, sentence types, phrases, and clauses. Grammar exercises will also include learning rules of punctuation, capitalization, and correct usage. Advanced grammar instruction will concentrate primarily on in-depth study of transitive and intransitive verbs and the discrete sentence patterns for each type. Additionally, the student will learn to recognize the verbal phrases as well as noun, adjective, and adverb clauses. To help your student become proficient in grammar, the tutor will be sure that he has a broad overview of all the parts of speech and their various functions.
Grammar in the service of writing is the purpose behind teaching grammar-based sentence writing. Your child will use his knowledge of grammar to arrange his words harmoniously, varying sentence pattern, length, opening, and syntax.
To write well, a student must use all the sentence-writing skills acquired from a thorough study of English grammar. Grasping how words, phrases, and clauses function variously in sentences, however, is not enough. The student must also be taught to recognize grammar problems and to avoid grammar errors in his writing. The tutor will teach the student to spot lack of agreement between subject and verb, or between pronoun and antecedent; split infinitives; dangling and misplaced modifiers; sentence fragments; comma splices and run-on sentences; problems with comparisons; incorrect use of verbs; improper use of prepositions; faulty predication; and problems with parallel structure.
Diagramming sentences enriches the student's understanding of English grammar through graphically depicting how words, phrases, and clauses work together in a sentence. More importantly, sentence diagrams move to front and center the distinct sentence patterns formed with transitive and intransitive verbs. Through diagramming, the student will learn to write with action verbs and to minimize use of the verb to be as a linking verb, to use the passive voice judiciously, and to sharpen his skills in writing a variety of sentences. For example, the student will learn how writing a sentence with a transitive verb and objective complement can help him achieve emphasis. Sentence diagramming not only enhances the student's knowledge of grammar but prods the student into writing better prose as the door before him gradually opens to a vista of endless sentence possibilities.

Armature Scaling
MetadataShow full item record
This paper presents documentation of a scaling methodology. We first get an understanding of the operation of the full scale system. The shape of the current curve in figure 1 is similar to the output pulse required for a 20 MJ muzzle energy launch. We use this current waveform as input to a non linear, coupled, magnetic and heat diffusion model in one dimension for a cylindrical armature. The equations shown in figure 2 are solved numerically for the B field, current density, and temperature distribution through the armature cross section as a function of time. The current density and B field are used to calculate the body force distribution through the armature at any time, and the set back inertial load is subtracted from the body force to give a representation of the bulk stress distribution through the armature. This procedure is outlined in figure 3 with a simple current density and B field distribution, but the distributions solved for in the non linear model are used in actual calculations. We compare the armature temperature distribution to the output of 3-D transient magnetic finite element codes for a second method check and there is good agreement as seen in figure 4. Returning to figure 1, we see the predicted temperature and stress distribution at the time of first peak and the time of the last current peak. We would like to replicate these distributions in a subscale armature to see how the material behaves before the full scale design is pursued. In addition we would like to operate the model at the same velocity as the system because experimental data indicates the transitioning of armatures is related to their speed.

One of the story structures Jacqui talked about in Wednesday's video session was the "news totem," or a structure that resembles an inverted pyramid, but with "sub-items that can't be easily prioritized in a descending hierarchy."
A benefit, Jacqui said, is that it acknowledges that those "sub-items" can "have equal primacy to different audiences."
That rings true when you think of today's readers, particularly, say, on an issue like the health care debate. Different people are already bringing different takes on the news to a story; they're looking for specific topics or information, and if they don't get it, you're the target for leaving it out.
A risk, though, is that by assigning each "topic" its own & equal section, we allow someone with a point of view to scan to only the parts of the story they agree with or want to see covered, and we lose our chance to educate, to enlighten, to strengthen the tone of the discussion -- all the good things that really good journalism can do.
Then again ... maybe people already scan our stories for the stuff they want to read.
What do you think? How can this "news totem" form be used effectively? What kinds of stories would not lend themselves to this form?

The big wet
Except for a small part of Western Australia Australia this year experienced a rain deluge to eclipse all previous records. Everywhere you see a velvet green carpet instead of the usual brown paddocks.
The hopes of farmers were raised early on the expectation for the best harvest ever as a respite from a decade's long drought. Early optimism is now threatened by simply too much rain preventing harvesting due to widespread flooding. Others unable to spray to repel the expected locusts plague attacks (once the weather finally clears ) may also have their hopes dashed. But despite these setbacks many will rejoice over the rich pastures with abundant fodder for stock or in the dry farming regions which this year promise record yields.
The really good environmental news is the floodwaters have entered and flushed out the mouth of the mighty Murray River ( Australia's largest river system )to restore the ecology of the Coorang. Previously the Coorong dependant for its biological existence on periodic washing from the sea mouth was facing slow strangulation as the mouth remained permanently blocked due to insufficient water flow as too much was taken out for irrigation during the long drought.
But if you would like to view natures ability to renew itself and to work miracles this inspirational story of Lake Eyre with amazing scenery is worth seeing by clicking on the link above. I think you will be suitably impressed with both the scenery and the story.
Finally a joyous season to everyone.

I'm so glad you posted the video clip about Lake Eyre. It was wonderful seeing all of it but most especially that part near the end when they showed what it's like when the lake is calm and perfectly reflective. Amazing and very beautiful.
Thanks, Lindsay. I wish you all the best for Christmas and a peaceful New Year for all.

this film is breathtaking. and eye opening. what a land of extremes, your Oz! now, more than ever, i want to see it in person. Christmas blessings, dear bean counter.
- susan said...
Where there was drought, now there is flood. Today I just heard about all the people who've been stranded by it and hope you haven't been affected.
I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year.

Wonderful clip, Lindsay.
Wishing you all the best for the new year.

Hi Susan, Granny F, & Nova
Thanks for your comments and all the best to you for the New Year.
As an update to the severe flooding cnfined mainly to Southern Old you may have gathered by now rising floodwaters have reached almost biblical proportions to devastate an area more than the combined area of France and Belgium. So far over 200, 000 people are directly affected in 21 towns and cities which have had to be completely evacuated to make way for the ever rising floodwaters with still much worse to come. Lives have been lost and so far over 20,000 homes and huge areas of farmland destroyed expected to top 3 billion dollars in cost. Australia as a consequence will experience an ongoing reduction in exports and suffer much higher fresh fruit and vegetables prices this year.
Best wishes

Odd how the grasses and trees of the desert look familiar to me. I'm sure they're different species, but the overall build of them is much the same.
Looks like home to me.
- lindsaylobe said...
Hi Mercutio,
Certainly the grasses and plant life would have the same charectoristics of super efficiency in moisture retention and to be able to germinate quickly following a rare soaking. But within our vast desert areas you not only see the classic landscapes of bare shifting sands, but mountain ranges, grasslands, woodlands, scrublands rivers and huge salt lakes all of which would seem familiar. Australia's deserts are very hot as temperatures rise above 50 C (124 F) and the average rainfall is less than 250mm (9inches) per year. Average humidity or moisture in the air is between 10 and 20 per cent. The red coloring however is as a consequence of oxidation similar to what is present in south-eastern USA.
Best wishes

As you all know, Men's Health is an excellent resource for anyone with a thirst for science.
Paradoxically, Men's Health is also an excellent resource to consult for information regarding women's sexuality. I learned a lot today from this article on crazy sex studies. I do not know how many readers Men's Health has, but judging by the cost of ad space, it's a big number. Even if 50% of those readers are teenage boys looking for photos of women in school uniforms sans underwear, there apparently are also quite a few men out there searching for clues to the feminine mystique. If those men included these sex studies in their research it is likely they are behaving in ways that don't seem to make a lot of sense to the women in their lives.
For the full study, please do consult the research, but, as a quick reference, I've put together this primer. When you find yourself asking, "What the hell could be going through his mind right now?", let this be your guide. Pass it on to your women friends and do your part to further the species, as well as the occurrence of vaginal orgasms (which are apparently the only kind of orgasms worth counting).
- If he hands you a pair of socks, he wants sex, but first he has to calm you down and make you feel safe.
- If he says you look sad and he wants to give you some of his mind altering medicine, he wants sex without a condom
- If he casually asks about your testosterone levels, he suspects that you may be masturbating on the side.
- If he appears to be studying your mouth intensely, he's using your lip shape as a guide in judging your ability to achieve a vaginal orgasm.
- If he seems overly interested in the way you walk. he's trying to judge whether or not your pelvic muscles may be blocked, as this would affect your ability to have a vaginal orgasm. Chances are good he wouldn't know a blocked pelvic muscle from a mannequin, that's the funny part.
Note to everyone in the world: Never, ever, under any circumstances, should you google "vagina images". Just don't.

ok, so this is for the guy who posted a comment to my last entry. ask and ye shall receive, kiddies.
1. the history of j'onn's oreo obsession started when he watched the movie Rounders, where matt damon is a semi-pro poker whiz and john malkovich plays a russian mafioso-cum-poker hustler who eats oreos compulsively at the poker table. j'onn thought this was, as he said, "wicked badass." i must also note that j'onn has a history of imitating malkovich behaviours, such as drilling a hole into his own head after seeing 'Being John Malkovich.' lantern and i agreed that he missed the movie's point completely.
2. if you want to know how i feel about hawkman, here goes. he's been pretty pissy with me since he found out about the whole www.hawkgirlsshowerwebcam.com debacle, which was in no way my fault. i just showed captain atom how to set up a domain name. then, he accused me of being a lush and foppish dandy besides, just because i use product in my hair (both facial and otherwise.) the coup d'gras came when he told bullseye that i use a bronzer lotion, which i use to help give my muscles definition. so, in return for that, hawkman, here you go.
-for some reason, the blog won't let me make this link work, so i'll do it the ugly way.

Earlier this year, the Maestro team made a Harlem Shake video. If you aren't familiar with the Harlem Shake, it's a dance craze going viral on the Internet, with people creating their own videos using the same formula. The music is always the same 32-second clip from the song "The Harlem Shake." To start, there's a single person in a mask, dancing to the beat while everyone around him is oblivious to his presence. Then, when the bass drops, the scene changes and all those oblivious people—and many more—join the scene wearing costumes and dancing like crazy. There are tens of thousands of different versions of the Harlem Shake on the Internet, from a few people in a dorm room, to military groups, and people in office environments. (In the Maestro video, our actual water delivery guy happened to be there, so he makes a guest appearance, and our company president dresses like a banana and is chased by a gorilla!)
This got me thinking, why doesn't eLearning go viral? Of course I'm not talking about everyone sharing their corporate training on Facebook and YouTube. But you never hear someone at the water cooler saying "I can't wait for that Billing Reports eLearning to come out." or "Did you see that Sexual Harassment eLearning? I know it's optional, but Jim, you really have to take it."
These are things you do really hear people say about face-to-face instruction. There are those great classes that people talk about, engaged and inspired by a great teacher or great content. As a result, students encourage others to take it. But this never seems to happen with eLearning.
There are myriad reasons for this, but maybe we need to look to our learners for the answer. As trainers we always talk about ROI from the organization's perspective, and surely this is critical to getting the funding that allows us to do what we do. But what about personal ROI? Our learners deserve training that creates results for them. That is their ROI. Will the learner get value from investing time in this training? If the learner sees value in the training, it, too, can go viral.
With mobile technologies we have a chance to make technology-based learning go viral. Using mobile technologies we are able to reach learners at their real point of need – when they are doing the job and realize they are unable to accomplish the task and need some assistance. This sort of training is often referred to as performance support.
Let's consider the use of mobile technologies to bring training or performance support to the learner at his exact moment of need. Imagine you are a sales rep and are about to call on a large potential client. Having the opportunity to look up critical information and details about your product, the client, and so forth immediately before the meeting is very important. And you will use this training again and again because you see the value for you. You're even likely to recommend it to others, because it meets your needs for personal ROI.
We've created apps like this, and that is exactly what we found. One app was created for a group of about 700 sales reps. Over the past year, the app was logged into more than 10,000 times by these 700 reps. More than 11.6% of these logins were by people who used the app 10 or more times, and a few reps even used it 50 or more times!
In another project, we created an app for more than 100 sales reps, and over the past year they had 1,627 logins. With this app, more than 41% of the logins were by people who used the app 10 or more times, and over 21% were by people who used it 20 or more times. As a training professional, these kinds of numbers are exciting. Honestly, I'd be thrilled if people found most eLearning so valuable that they logged into it two or three times, so the notion of people logging in 10 or 20 or even 50 times is incredible. This shows that the learner found personal value from it – and as a result, the learning went viral.
As you can see, when learners are given access to materials that help them become more effective at their jobs, they will use them – and they will come back over and over. They'll even tell their friends about the materials and encourage colleagues to use them too.
So how do we start thinking of our training in ways that makes it so useful to learners that they see the value to them, and thus they want to use it repeatedly? Start thinking about it from the learner's perspective. How will learners use this to improve their job performance in a tangible way? Make sure learners can apply the learning to their jobs, so they can see the positive results of using the training.
Maybe then your training will go viral too.

Evaluation of Turbulence Models in Gas Dispersion
TypeMaster thesis
Not peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Several earlier model validation studies for predicting gas dispersion scenarios have been conducted for the three RANS two-equation eddy viscosity turbulence models, the standard k-ε (SKE), Re- Normalisation group k-ε (RNG) and Realizable k-ε (Realizable). However, these studies have mainly validated one or two of the models, and have mostly used one simulation case as a basis for determining which model is the best suited for predicting such scenarios. In addition, the studies have shown conflicting results as to which model is ideal for dispersion simulations. The aim of the study was therefore to assess three well-known RANS two-equation eddy viscosity models, in four different gas dispersion cases. The purpose was to evaluate the models' behaviour compared to experimental data, in order to see which of the models was best suited for predicting dispersion scenarios. The cases used in the thesis were: CO2 dispersion in a cross- wind, neutral dispersion in an urban environment, hydrogen jet impinging on a surface, and a dense jet dispersion on an industrial site. All simulations were conducted with a CFD software that partially resolved the geometry, and was designed for large complex multiscale flow scenarios. The most important parameters for assessing the turbulence models were accuracy of the simulation results and computational time used. Overall, SKE seemed to be the best-suited model for 3 out of 4 cases, and provided good results for all the scenarios. However, RNG also provided reasonably results in all cases, in a practical timeframe. Realizable was the model that commonly used longest computational time, and was found least suitable for 3 out of 4 cases.

If you want to achieve and maintain great oral health, you need to do more than just brush and floss your teeth. While brushing and flossing are important, general dentistry also plays a crucial role in the health and appearance of your smile.
General dentistry's goal is preventing any decay or disease of your mouth, teeth, or gums. However, if preventive measures aren't enough, general dentistry also incorporates restorative dental care to repair any damage to your smile. As a result, general dentistry encompasses both preventive and restorative treatments.
In order to get the most out of general dentistry, we recommend visiting our general dentist for a checkup and cleaning twice a year. Has it been more than 6-months since your last general dentistry appointment? Then contact our experienced dental team at Fine Arts Dentistry for more information or to schedule an appointment today.

Fantastic dialogues and actions
with some old habits
like putting on a blanket, sliding aside.
Oneness split into two
Mating unlike fission is always two.
The stickiness glued
till the observation of opposite faces
getting similar and relaxed
or a tight cuddle, with one face staring sway, half sure,
One watching, stopping at the rear of a cranium.
The body is but alone with/without a touch
Comparisons being heavier or lighter
Assurances help in drifting apart.
Life and love for a single mortality interfering the most in a relaxation
One turning towards the room
stares at the darkness, and what will be its remnant
The other staring at the man made pane
finding the perfect soul cannot be checked
from slipping back quietly into a ruin.

Spirit of the….
matt | June 28, 2008
Some thoughts I had on possible settings/adaptations for Spirit of the Century. Since FATE is such a flexible system, SotC lends itself to being used in.. well, anything even vaguely pulpy…
Spirit of the Gumshoe – I've mentioned this before, but basically FATE + GUMSHOE for investigations.
Spirit of the Shadowrun – A non-crunchy way to run adventures in the world of Shadowrun.
Spirit of the Doctor – Doctor Who.. This would likely be limited to a GM and two players (the Doctor and his Companion).
Spirit of the Rebellion – Star Wars
Spirit of the Federation – Star Trek
Spirit of the Deadlands – Deadlands. Of course, with the newer Deadlands using Savage Worlds, this may not actually be much better than Savage Worlds.. unless, of course, you've played SotC but not SW.
Other thoughts:
Warhammer 40K universe Battletech
I had some more ideas, but it has stopped raining, so I'm going to bust out the weedwacker and tear it up.

I'm fond of trying various stuffed paratha!!! I never prefer having leftover items on the next day and so I hardly have something in freeze from previous lunch/dinner :) A little extra rice I had this time, which I definitely wasn't going to have on plate again... So I thought of making quite a different paratha stuffed with a combo of chana dal n leftover rice!
On the very 1st bite, I got negative vibes from my husband, so was disappointed a little. But the next moment, he said... It's super-tasty n healthy one, I was so relieved! Making sure of his expressions, I gotta know he was expecting it to be Aloo Paratha, so the expressions changed :P
Paratha-lovers, try it out! This is definitely a healthy n delicious alternate of 'Aloo Paratha' :)
Makes: 6
For Dough--
1/2 cup Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Plain Flour (Maida)
1 tsp Chopped Coriander Leaves
Salt, to taste
2 tsp Oil
For Stuffing--
1/2 cup Chana Dal (Bengal Gram)
1/2 cup Boiled Rice (I used leftover-rice)
1 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilly Flakes
1/2 tsp Amchur (Dry Mango Powder)
Salt, to taste
- Soak chana dal in water for an hour and pressure-cook it for 1-2 whistles only.
- Drain excess water and rinse it. Keep it aside.
- Mix all the ingredients of dough in a big bowl and knead a soft dough by using lukewarm water as required.
- In another mixing bowl, take cooked chana dal and add rest of all stuffing ingredients.
- Mix everything well but make sure it's not completely mashed.
- Divide the dough and stuffing into 6 portions. Take one ball, roll it out to make 4" in diameter.
- Place a stuffing ball onto it. Fold it from all the sides to make a lemon-sized ball again.
- Roll it one more time to make paratha of 7"-8" in diameter. Repeat the same process for other balls.
- Pan-roast it by drizzling a little oil every time till you find brown-spots on both the sides.
- Serve hot with Coriander-Mint Chutney or a Yogurt bowl :)
SJ's NOTE:
- You can add one small-sized boiled potato for binding, if you are not using rice.
- For rich flavors, use clarified butter (desi ghee) to replace oil.

Higher Education
The Warner School's master's program in higher education aims to develop leaders and administrators who seek to impact higher education students, institutions, and/or systems in the United States and across the globe.
The higher education system in the U.S. is among the very best in the world. Our program will help students understand the political, economic, educational, cultural, and structural forces that enable and constrain the effectiveness of higher education institutions and systems. Students can choose from among three concentration areas in the higher education program, including student affairs, administration, and academic and career counseling, depending on one's passions and career goals.
Distinguishing features of the program include a hands-on internship experience in a local higher education institution and a range of electives, including global education, entrepreneurship, program evaluation, grant writing, and decision making. Students may elect to customize their program even more by completing a New York State-approved Advanced Certificate in Program Evaluation in addition to their master's degree for as little as three additional course credits, depending on the concentration area and choice of electives.
Rigorous core coursework led by distinguished higher education scholars and administrators ensures that graduates of our program are prepared to work in a variety of higher education positions and settings in the United States and in their home countries.

text: Thank you so much. This is so nice. Wow. I must tell you, I was watching on television about three hours ago, I was watching other candidates, this place was empty. Laughter] And now it is full. It was empty, I hate to say it. Now it is full, it's tough. [Off microphone, someone says "We were waiting on you."] I wonder -- I know. Thank you, darling. And I was waiting on you. But I guaranteed Carl Cameron and the people in the media will not report that, I guarantee, because I know how their minds work. Reuters just came out a little while ago, 34 percent for Trump, 19 for Carson, 9 for Rubio, 7 for Ted Cruz. Applause] Florida, well, I have an advantage, because I have thousands of jobs in Florida. You know, we have Doral, we have many buildings on the beach. We have [Inaudible] -- we have a lot of different places. So I have an advantage, but Florida, a very, very new poll, 37 percent for Trump , 16 for Rubio. Applause] I won't tell you what Bush is, but it is not too good. So coming over, I was watching the news. And actually two major anchors from two different networks were very nice today, because they said whether you like it or not, Trump said this. They are bombing the hell out of the oil fields. You believe it? I have been doing they should have done that for two years now, because they are taking the wealth away from ISIS. Now, if you remember when I said it, everybody said, oh, you can't do that. You can't do that. I said why can't you do it? Frankly, we shouldn't have gone to Iraq, but once we went there, we should not have gone out the way we did. And when we did go out, we should have kept the oil, not just bombed the oil. [Applause] We should have kept the oil, and we should have given the families of the great soldiers that were killed and badly wounded and badly injured, and our wounded warriors, we should have given them a lot of money from those oil fields. [Applause] We got nothing. We got nothing. We got absolutely nothing. So now they are bombing the oil fields, and it is about time. Correct. Stand up, whoever said that. That is very smart. Stand up, darling. Beautiful. It is about time. And two of the anchors got on and they said, whether you like it or not, Donald Trump predicted it and he said that is what you should do. You know, it's interesting, I wrote a book in 2000, and in the book, I mentioned Osama bin Laden. I said bad guy, he is going to do damage to our country. And we better do something to stop him. This was two years before the World Trade Center came down through him, auspices of him. And another anchor, great one, Joe Scarborough on the show the other day, somebody gave him the book, he said look at this, Trump predicted two years before this happened, 18 months to be exact. He had the name Osama bin Laden in a book, The America We Deserve My new book is really successful, Crippled America. I really -- I hope everybody will go out and buy it. That's really successful. But he said, whoa, when did he say Osama bin Laden is going to come and do damage? This was before the World Trade Center came down, Joe. Whoa, he goes, whoa. Well, you know you have to know what they are doing. And we need to people that know what they're doing. [Applause] So, so, you just take a look. Now we are on a subject that I think I know a lot about, it is called immigration. Had I not come out in my now famous opening remarks at Trump Tower when I announced that I was running for president, and had I not talked about illegal immigration, I do not even think you would be talking about it today. Because I watched Ted Cruz, and I watched Marco Rubio, they are fighting over who is tougher. Who is tougher? Well, let me tell you something, I was tougher when it wasn't very politically popular to be tough. I took a lot of heat. Rush Limbaugh said, nobody has ever taken more incoming -- an expression I never heard in that context, talking about the media -- but nobody has ever taken more incoming than Donald Trump. And I did, I was going. I mean, I was taking a lot of abuse from those characters right back there, a lot of abuse. [Applause] And then, people started to say, you know, Trump is right, a lot of problems being caused. And I'm telling you, had I not done that, and had I not mentioned it as a major part, because I have friends that live in different parts of the country, whether it is Texas or Arizona or Los Angeles, where they have a huge problem, a huge problem. And I knew what was going on in the country. And it is a serious problem. It is a really serious problem. And you have great people that have come into this country illegally. But you have some very bad people. You take a look at some of the gangs in L.A., rough gangs, these are rough dudes. If I get elected, if I become president those people are out of here, those guys are gone, and fast. I mean gone. Applause] They are coming back and we're going to put them where they came from. We're not going to put them in our prisons and take care of them for 45 years. Not going to happen that way. It's not going to happen that way. So they are gone. And we are going to build a wall, and it is going to be a real wall. It's not one of these little walls where they ride jeeps over the top loaded up with drugs, and screw up our cities and the lives of our children and everybody else. There's going to be a real wall. It's going to be a Trump wall. OK? It's going to be a real wall, I know how to do it, believe me. You know something I never talk about, OPO, the old post office, a great building in Washington D.C. In between -- exactly in between the White House and the Capitol, on Pennsylvania Avenue. I am building it. Everybody wanted that building. I got it. In the Obama administration, can you believe it? The most sought after property probably in the history of GSA, everybody. Every hotel company wanted it, Waldorf Astoria, everybody, all the hotel companies. Hyatt wanted it. Pritzker is the biggest backer of Obama. They wanted it. And I got it. And I got it for a specific reason. We have the greatest plan, the best plan. We had the best, or among the best financial statements. Because they want to make sure that it was done and done right. The GSA folks are fantastic and great professionals, I have to tell you. But in the Obama administration, I got it, and now it is a head of schedule. It was going to open in '17. Now we think we're going to get it open in November or before November of '16, so, we're almost a year ahead of schedule. So we are ahead of schedule, under budget. Aren't they nice words when you hear about these projects that this country builds where they are 1,000 times over budget? So, I am under budget, ahead of schedule. It's going to be, I think the greatest hotel in America. I already have the greatest hotel in America. It is in Chicago. But the greatest hotel in America, it's going to be something that's going to make a lot of people proud. But I know how to build. And that wall is going to be a real wall. And that is going to be a really powerful wall. And it's going to be a beautiful wall, because someday they will probably name it after Trump. [Applause] It has got to be beautiful, it's true; the Trump Wall. It will be called to Trump Wall. And it is going to have a door in it, a big beautiful door, because people are going to come into the country because I want them to, and so do you. But they have got to come in legally. They have to come in legally. Applause] They have to come in legally. And I said, the bad ones are going out so fast, and that is going to take place -- before we even start the wall. You know that Hillary Clinton -- and a lot -- oh, the worst. She will be so bad. She will set this country back so far, so fast. If we have to go through four years of this bedlam, of this turmoil with Clinton, with the whole world blew up around her, you look at what she has done as secretary of State. The whole world blew up, it's like we're a different world. ISIS, Iraq, look at all the bad things. Libya, Benghazi, all of these things, just look at what has happened to the Middle East, look at what has happened to the world. And I say maybe Kerry will go down as being a worse secretary of State than even Hillary. Because he made a deal with Iran that could be one of the most incompetent transactions I have ever witnessed in my life of any kind, of any kind, of any kind. [Applause] So, we're going to get the bad dudes out, we're going to build that wall, and we are going to take people that are here illegally, and we're going to move them out. Got to move them out. We are a country of laws. And we have got to remain that way. We need a border. You can't have a country if you do not have a border. And I talk -- you know, all of a sudden the news is talking about Dwight Eisenhower. I like Ike. Everybody liked Ike, except General MacArthur. He did not like him too much to be honest. General MacArthur never really understood Ike. Never understood him. MacArthur was tough. By the way, we're going to find a general like MacArthur. [Applause] And we're going to find a general like George Patton. And we have them. We are going to find a Patton or we're going to find a MacArthur. And we have them, we have them. They are in there someplace. They don't do as well, because they use foul language, they are tough, they are mean, they're nasty. But I do not want mean guys, I want smart guys. If they're mean, that's good, but I want smart guys. I want somebody really, really, really tough, but really, really, smart. You know, I know a lot of tough guys but they are not smart. Those guys, that's the worst. So, we are going to get somebody, we're going to find somebody -- I am good at that, I'm really good at that. We're going to find somebody that is so tough and so smart, and we're going to build up our military. And we are going to make it so powerful and so strong that nobody is ever going to mess with us, folks, nobody. Nobody. Applause] And we are going to take care of our vets. We're going to take care of our vets, who are not being treated, in many cases, as well as the illegal immigrants. You have got the illegal immigrants being treated better than our vets. So we're going to do that. And we're going to -- by the way, we are going to terminate Obamacare and we're going to replace it with something much better. Much, much better. But because the topic is so hot, I am just going to finish off with immigration. We're going to triple up the number of the border patrol. These border patrol guards are phenomenal. I met them; I was in Laredo, Texas a couple of months ago. These are tremendous people. They want to do their job. They can't. They are told to stand down. Stand down. People walk right in front of them, wave at them. Hi, hi, hi. Guess what, I just became an American citizen, and all of these suckers out here are going to pay for me for the next 85 or 90 years. That is what is happening. So, they are told to stand on. When I am there, they are not going to be told to stand down, they're going to be told just the opposite. Believe me. [Applause] Believe me. And we are going to triple up the number. Now, with Eisenhower's plan, you know, a lot of people never heard of him. Now, all of a sudden, oh, there was no plan, now they found out I was right, just like I am right about the anchor babies. Turned out I was right on the anchor babies. OK? You can't come into the country, you're illegal, you come down, you sit down, you have your baby, and we take care of the baby for the next 85 years. Everybody said, well, you need a constitutional amendment. It'll take 15 years, it'll never happen -- you don't, you don't. You need a simple act of Congress. You might not even need that. And for years, people thought you go to Mexico, try having a baby in Mexico and see if that baby is going to be a Mexican citizen. Try it. They would laugh at you so hard. They would laugh so hard. We are run by incompetent people. Our leaders are incompetent. [Applause] They are incompetent people. And I know many of them. And not only don't they have business ability, not only don't they have heart, they don't have common sense. And a lot of it is common sense. And a lot of it is leadership. And we certainly have no leader, that I can tell you that. Applause] So, we're going to triple up the ICE officers. We're going to go nationwide e-verify. And what people don't say about Eisenhower, is when they moved them out, when they started moving them out, they moved out at least a million and a half. And it was also Truman, they moved them out. Do you know what happened? People started seeing they are moving them out, and people started leaving. Many people started leaving. They said, oh, man, this is too tough. We are getting out of here. And huge numbers of people just left. And we need it from a job standpoint, because these people are taking jobs away from our people. We have close to 100 million people. You know, our real number for jobs, unemployment is down to 5.2. Let me tell you, every place I go, I have 10,000 people, 5,000 people. I just told you, this room was empty on television two hours ago. Now, it is full. If I -- if you had a real 5.2 percent unemployment, this room would be empty, and I would not be drawn 25,000 people to speeches. Believe me. Believe me. That is the way it is. Now we are going to de-fund the sanctuary cities, because sanctuary cities are a disgrace. They are a disgrace. [Applause] You look at -- I have property. I have a great property in San Francisco. The Bank of America Building, I love San Francisco. When Kate was brutally killed, shot in the back by an illegal immigrant who was probably here more than five times -- they say five times -- we're not going to let that happen again. When a wonderful veteran, 66-year-old woman was raped, sodomized, and killed in Los Angeles, we're not going to let that happen anymore. [Applause] We will not let it happen anymore -- by an illegal immigrant. And we are stopping with the sanctuary cities, we are going to go detention, forget it. We're not going to do the catch -- you know, catch, release. Catch, release. [Applause] Unbelievable. The birthright citizenship, the anchor baby, birthright citizenship, it's over, not going to happen. Hundreds of thousands of people a year, coming from all over the world, by the way, it is over. Not going to happen. We are going to hire Americans first. We're going to take care of our workers. Did you ever hear of the Dream Act? The Dream Act is not for our children. The Dream Act is for other children that come into the country. I want the Dream Act to be for our children. [Applause] So, it's a fantastic honor to be with you. This was one of those deals that was very nice for me, because I heard you're given 20 minutes to speak, and I am right down the road in Palm Beach. I came up, I speak for 20 minutes, and get the hell out of here and I have done a good job. [Applause] You know. It's crazy. But I have a little bit of an expression before we leave. And I have been saying it more and more, and it's sad. The American dream is dead. But I am going to make it bigger, and better and stronger than ever before. We're going to bring it back. And we're going to bring it back better than ever before. The election that is coming up is so important, because we can't go through another four years of gross incompetence, of division. Believe it or not, I am going to bring people together. People say, oh, you are a divisive figure. I'm not, actually. I'm not. I am the opposite. I thought that Obama -- and I hoped that Obama -- I said he is totally unqualified, but you know what, the one thing, he is going to be is a good cheerleader for our country. And he is going to bring people together. He turned out to be a disaster as a cheerleader. And he turned out to be totally divisive, totally divisive. Who would have thought this possible? So not only has he been a terrible president but he has been a divisive president. And it is not going to happen. So, I am going to end with a statement. I see hats all over the audience. You know what the statement is, right? Do you know what the statement is, folks? Right? Look. That's right. Do you know that, right? Ah, you know it. This has become very popular. We are going to make America great again. We are going to make America better -- and I really believe this, better than ever before. We are going to win a trade, we're going to start beating China. We have a trade imbalance with China, this year should be about $505 billion. You believe that? With Japan, $70 billion, with Mexico, who will by the way, pay for the wall. [Applause] With Mexico, we have an imbalance of $45 billion and growing all the time, because Ford is moving there, Nabisco, they make Oreos, they are moving to Mexico. I am never eating another Oreo again. I am telling you. Never. But we are going to make America great again. We are going to make America better than ever before. And we are going to win so much, you people are going to be so proud of your president. We are going to win so much. We're going to win on trade. We're going to win at military. We are going to win with health care. We are going to win. We don't win anymore. We don't win anymore. Nobody can talk about -- when was the last time we had a victory? We do not have victories anymore. We are going to win so much, and you are going to be very, very proud of your country. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. [Applause]

Nearly 200 plungers head into Quaddick Pond to raise money for muscular dystrophy this morning.
When preparing to dive into a pond so cold its surface shimmers with ice, its best to focus on practical matters.
"Start your car up 15 minutes before you head in," said Brooklyn resident Jean Gauthier, one of approximately 200 souls who headed into the frigid water of Quaddick Pond Thursday for the 32nd annual Turkey Dip.
Participants and bemused on-lookers—many in costumes— huddled under a brown concession stand which give attendees two important numbers, 43 and 38— the air and water temperature, respectively.
Not that anyone needed to be reminded of the climate. Romeo Blackmar, 56, of Woodstock, showed up for his 11th dip sporting a Marilyn Monroe costume and blond wig — a get-up that lost some of it's authenticity due to his stubbly chin and chest hair.
"This is practically balmy today," he said. "A few years ago, they had to break through the ice for us."

Beer Mat Strategy
A few ideas can be better than a lot.
What was Steve Jobs first strategic call when he returned to Apple in 1997?
According to biographer, Walter Isaacson, he slashed 90% of existing product development. On a whiteboard he drew a simple alternative plan.
It was a two-by-two matrix. The columns were Consumer and Pro; the rows were Desktop and Portable. Four market segments; four products. Everything else was eliminated. Apple was reborn.

Persevere and rewards will follow. A soccer game, much like a boxing match, can seem slow and tedious initially, but one punch, or in soccer, one pass, one save, one goal, a red card, or a number of other events can turn a game on its head.

soccer isn't boring
Words to live by, or at least to watch TV by, from the wikiHow article amusingly called "How to Appreciate a Soccer Game on TV."

I discovered this yesterday. I decided to try out the England/Portugal match while eating lunch. I came in with about 20 minutes left in regular play and stayed through the end. No one ever scored, but the potential for a goal kept me watching. Plus the drama over the red card, etc.
I realized that soccer is totally boring if I half-watch it, but kind of fun if you pay attention. Also, it's neat that they never really stop the game - and, as a result, there are no commercials.

Yes!! I am all about the no-commercials thing. It's so nice to just concentrate on the game.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (April 23, 2014)—Two people are in custody following a drug bust at a Broad Ripple home Wednesday evening.
Narcotics officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department served search warrants at a house in the 5900 block of Crittendon Avenue, after police said they received an anonymous tip.
Police told FOX59 more than 200 marijuana plants were seized.
Indiana State Police is assisting IMPD in dismantling the operation.
