Early Sunday afternoon I started out for the rassemblement, the rally, in Bordeaux as part of mass demonstrations all over France for, well, unless you've been in a coma for the past week you'll know why. Unfortunately I never made it past the tram station. The Prime Minister here (not Hollande, who is the President) had appealed to every citizen of France (except Marine LePen) to join the rallys this weekend as a means of demonstrating that France wasn't going to be cowed by terrorists. As a result, traffic into the tram station park and ride was backed up halfway to the Medoc, mostly by people who probably never go near public transportation and so couldn't figure out how to work the gate into the parking lot. Many of these same folks were further stymied by the operation of the tramway's ticket dispenser so it was slow going from the beginning. The first tram that came by was already packed as full as any Uptown Manhattan subway at rush hour. As an American and a visiter here I wanted to be with them but it was looking like I might have to find another way to show my support. For the moment, this post is the best I can come up with.
Ironically, the magazine these shitheads attacked, Charlie Hebdo, while quintessentially French, wasn't that big of a deal here in the sense that it didn't have, and never had, a particularly big following. Its circulation was around 30,000 (which is what I read somwhere although the unimpeachable Wikipedia says it was 45,000) and catered mainly to the far left. (In France, the far left still represents the type of people here that it always has and the United States used to have, like the ones that set off a bomb in the Capitol during the Vietnam War. (All you have to do now in the States to be called Far Left is believe even poor people should be able to go to the doctor.) The only time most people ever paid any attention to Charlie Hebdo was when they pissed off somebody famous or the religious, which is their intent, more than usual - until last Wednesday.
When the first reports of this started showing up on the web, I'm ashamed to admit that our reaction was, "Twelve's not so bad." As an American, I've lost track of the number of mass killings at home in just the past five years but I can come up with at least 3 right off the top of my head that equaled or bettered Wednesday's in Paris (Ft. Hood, Texas, November, 2009, [13] Aurora, Colorado, July, 2012 [12] and Newtown, Connecticut, December, 2012, [26]). But this is France and the impact is the same as 9/11 was to us. Let's hope the French reaction is better thought out than ours. 14 years on and Americans are more divided than at any time in our history except the Civil War and it's no coincidence that the roots of that division are centered in the old Confederacy. There are two Americas now, one intensely conservative, religious and intransigent, the other not. We're afraid of everybody and everything but mostly we're afraid of each other. And we hear talk about "real" Americans and "your" President - a far cry from the "We're all Americans" of September 12. Osama bin Laden succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. I digress.
The marches on Sunday are demonstrating that, at least for the time being, the French are sticking together. The government pointedly did not invite Marine LePen, voice of the even-farther-right-than-Republican-if-you-can-believe-that National Front, to the marches but this probably makes no difference anyway. She'd been gaining ground by fanning the flames of anti-immigrant intolerance and lost no time on Wednesday scoring political points, but giving her some free publicity wasn't such a hot idea, either.
When does this shit stop and how do you fight people of a faith based ideology so lacking in compassion that it thinks nothing of murdering twelve people for the heinous crime of "insulting the Prophet" and four more just for shopping at a kosher grocery. And then you read of the Boko Haram branch strapping explosives to a ten-year-old girl and sending her off to be blown to bits. Religious extremism is the curse of the 21st and it's not going away anytime soon. It's simply astonishing to me that, in the year 2015, the worldview of over half the planet is based on religious texts written thousands of years ago (The Koran is the newest at 1400, unless you count the Book of Mormon and Dianetics) by no one knows who, St. Paul and, in at least one case, someone possibly deranged.
I might not have agreed with the politics of Charlie Hebdo, but you've got to admire their balls. Despite constant death threats and the firebombing of their offices, they backed down not one bit. The day after the killings, the cover of Marianne, another French weekly, carried a cartoon by one of the dead artists which, if you believe in the Almighty, constitutes a pretty good argument for a believer's not giving a shit what anyone says about His Prophet,
"Allah's big enough to defend Mohammed all by Himself - Get it?" (the headline, Keep Up The Fight, is the magazine's addition)
And to show you how much they continue to back down, here's tomorrows first post-massacre cover:
"All Is Forgiven"
I sure hope France comes out of this unchanged. If I were them, I'd follow Charlie Hebdo's lead and say whatever it is that means, "Come and get us, mother-fuckers" in French then go right on being myself. In fact, I'm thinking of buying a beret, wearing it to the boulangerie for a baguette and washing down with a nice bottle of Pessac-Leognan while I chain smoke Gauloises in solidarity. After all, nous sommes tous Charlie.

I Know What Love Is! Series
Contributed by A. Todd Coget on May 11, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: In contrast to what the world calls love, this sermon explains the Bible's definition of what real love is.
What Do You Know?
I Know What Love Is
May 13, 2001
Mother's Day
A. [Kellie Ammons sent the following e-mail to me this week…]
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go.
"But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."
God smiled. "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me," the child continued, "if I don't know the language that men talk?"
God patted him on the head and said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
The child was sad. "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
But God had an answer for that question too.
"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
The baby then turned to God and asked, "I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life!"
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore," the child continued warily.
God smiled on the young one. "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon.
He asked God one more question, softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God touched the child on the shoulder just before he departed and answered, "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply call her ....Mommy."
B. Mothering may be the toughest job in the world—I think most men would say their glad their not mothers!
1. Today as we continue our study of the book of 1 John, we come to a subject that is very much associated with mothers: love.
2. Our society is very messed up when it comes to exactly what love is.
3. We love our dogs, we love our cheeseburgers, and we love our spouses.
4. They seem to be crying out in unison, "I wanna know what love is! And I want you to show me!"
5. Today, as we continue our study of 1 John, John gives us eight practical answers…
I. Love is other-centered
1 John 3:11-15, This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
A. 1 Corinthians 13 says that love is not self-seeking.
1. Love is looking out for others.
2. I know that we say that others come before ourselves, but I would say that is often just words.
3. I think one of the ways that we see this the most is when someone suggests that something is done that we really don't like personally and we get our noses all bent out of shape about it.
4. When we are looking out for ourselves we say things like, "I would rather…," "I'd like to see…," "My opinion is that they should'nt…," or perhaps even worse, "We've never done it that way before…"
B. The founding fathers of the Restoration Movement of which Somerset is a part, had a slogan that said, "In essentials: unity, in non-essentials: liberty, and in all things: love."
1. Somehow in recent years, that slogan has been forgotten.
2. What that slogan means is that in things that are of Biblical and spiritual importance, we should have unity.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham, 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis
Curtis, Christopher Paul. The Watsons Go To Birmingham- 1963. Random House Children's Books, 1997. 224 pages. pap. $6.99. ISBN 978-0-440-41412-4.
Annotation: A black family from Michigan decides to spend the summer in Alabama during 1963 when racism and civil rights tensions are high. Their grandmother's church is bombed and the impact of violence will prove to strengthen their family's love and endurance.
Summary: A middle class black family from Flint Michigan decides to spend the summer in Birmingham, Alabama during the year 1963. Kenny's older brother, Byron, is getting into too much trouble with city life and gangs and needs to be straightened out by his strong grandma. Kenny, the narrator, tells of his family's experiences, both humorous and tragic as they deal with both northern and southern racism. Curtis writes thoughtfully about family relations, civil rights, and the impact of violence. When a local church is bombed and the whereabouts of Kenny's sister, Joetta, is uncertain, the strength of family love and endurance is revealed. The story is especially compelling because it is a fictional account of an actual event- the September 15th, 1963 bombing of the 16th Avenue Baptist Church in Birmingham which killed four teenage girls.
Evaluation: This well-written book is both funny and serious. The reader gets to know what a wonderfully wacky family the Watson's are and share in their sorrow when violence erupts upon this undeserving family. The family comedy turns into a national tragedy with hope for a future filled with equality and acceptance. Recommended for ages 10 to 16.

Two days ago, on KCRW's To The Point, I was asked why so few Republicans are supporting a new fix for the Voting Rights Act when the 2006 reauthorization of the VRA passed with overwhelming GOP support, 390-33 in the House and 98-0 in the Senate. I answered that the Republican Party is considerably more conservative than it was just eight years ago and significant elements of the party are actively committed to making it harder for people to vote.
Eric Cantor's primary defeat last night offers a good explanation for why so many Republicans are no longer willing to back efforts to protect voting rights.
After the Supreme Court's decision invalidating a key section of the VRA last year, Cantor vowed to "find a responsible path forward that ensures that the sacred obligation of voting in this country remains protected." He was the only member of the GOP leadership to take such a position. Supporters of the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 were counting on his support (even though he remained noncommittal to date).
The bill was written specifically with Cantor in mind, watered down on the key issue of voter ID to attract GOP support. I was told recently from a well-placed Capitol Hill source that Cantor planned to eventually announce his support for the bill, but was waiting for the right strategic moment. Now it's unlikely he will be in Congress in 2014 and even more unlikely the legislation can get through the House without him.
In the run-up to the primary, Tea Party groups like True the Vote attacked Cantor for indicating a willingness to potentially support the bill (even equivocation is now a sin!). "Over the past several months we have observed an alarming ambiguity in your position," six conservative groups wrote to Cantor earlier this week, requesting a meeting to stress their opposition to the VRA bill. The signees included former Reagan attorney general Ed Meese. "This bill will fundamentally and intentionally change American elections into race-reliant battlefields."
"Virginians, vote in your Primary today, then ask Rep. Cantor to protect ALL Americans' votes and stop #HR3899," True the Vote tweeted yesterday.
My sense is that Cantor did not announce his support for VRA legislation because he was worried, like on so many issues, about the reaction from the right. The flak he caught from conservatives shows how far to the right many Republicans have moved on voting rights. Eight years ago, nearly every Republican member of Congress supported a strong twenty-five-year extension of the VRA. Now few Republicans are willing to support a modest VRA fix.
Just look at what happened a month ago, when Rand Paul was bitterly attacked on the right for suggesting that Republicans downplay their support for voter ID laws. Paul quickly backtracked after upsetting Fox News and related audiences.
For many years, there was a bipartisan consensus in Congress in favor of voting rights. That fell apart after Obama's election. The reaction on the right to even tepid pro–voting rights statements by Cantor and Paul suggests that other prominent Republicans will continue to support restricting voting rights rather than backing efforts to expand the franchise.

Use these seven tips to improve your performance fast.
1. Warm Up.
It's well documented that performance improves as core body temperature rises.
2. Hydrate.
Research has demonstrated that dehydration negatively impacted performance – especially on subsequent sets. In other words, dehydrated lifters don't bounce back as quickly between sets.
3. Have a Cup of Coffee.
On the whole, research supports the idea that caffeine improves performance in most scenarios with minimal risk, provided the dose isn't excessive and the individual isn't prone to certain issues, like migraines.
4. Firm Up Your Grip.
A firm grip does so much more than connect you to the equipment; it turns on more proximal muscles and gets the nervous system going.
5. Change Your Technique.
-Bring your hands in closer.
-Get into a pair of minimalist training shoes (puts weight on your heels).
-Spend less time in finish position before returning to start position.
6. Change Your Music.
Energetic music makes you work harder. Get stronger faster by getting your music playing and working out in an energetic gym.
7. Utilize Post-Activation Potentiation.
Lift a heavier weight at low reps early, and then go to a lighter weight at higher reps, and repeat those sets to failure. In research, this technique is more effective in the lower body than the upper body.

Campaigners have scored a victory in their bid to have an historic statue placed in a prominent position in the town centre.
A project to have the statue of Prince Albert erected outside the town hall in Queen's Square, Priory Meadow, has been given approval by the Planning Inspectorate.
In February a bid put forward by campaigners was refused planning consent by councillors on Hastings Borough Council's planning committee, going against officers' recommendations.
The council said the statue's condition was so poor it would not be suitable for display alongside the town hall, which is a Grade II listed building.
Campaigners submitted an appeal to have the decision overturned.
The inspectorate's decision to reverse the refusal was received by the project leaders on Tuesday (November 3).
At a public consultation event in July last year, 247 people signed a form supporting the proposal to have the statue relocated to the vicinity of the town hall.
Steven Whitford, lead for the Prince Albert Statue community group project, said: "The public have been made aware of the present condition of the statue, which has suffered from neglect in storage since being unsympathetically removed from the memorial by the demolition firm in 1973.
"The statue was actually bought from the demolition firm by resident Edith Skelton for £50, and eventually found a home in the glasshouse at Alexandra Park, becoming a feature of the 'Albert House', a section of the mini floral hall public attraction in operation at the glasshouse from the mid-1970s until closure in the 1990s.
"The facial features of the statue have eroded, but much detail of the attire is in fair order, and the statue is certainly of great heritage value to the town."
Sculpted in Portland stone by Edwin Stirling at his studio in Liverpool in 1862, the statue was installed high up in the clock tower that was a popular focal feature and meeting place in Hastings town centre for more than 100 years.
Steven added: "There have long been calls to have the statue put back in the public domain, and, in a report to the Museums Committee in 2010, Hastings Borough Council's officer Virginia Gilbert stated the council would be looking for a community group to work with on achieving this.
"Now that the community group has the planning inspectorate's approval for having the statue relocated to alongside the town hall, it is hoped the council, which owns the land where the statue is to be erected, will be happy to let the project to go ahead without any further complications.
"As soon as the council confirms this to the community group, fundraising for the project will start.
"A Portland stone pedestal is required to stand the statue on, and there is the cost of removing the statue from its storage place in the glasshouse at the service yard located at Alexandra Park for erection alongside the town hall. The estimated cost to complete the project is £5,000.
"An information board, giving a concise history of the statue, is also being installed, and this is to be funded by Kelly Stirling, great-great-granddaughter of the statue's sculptor, and her family, who live in California.
"Kelly has made a couple of visits to view the statue, and is overjoyed that her ancestor's work is being put back on public display in Hastings."
A booklet, The Story of Albert and his Memorial, has been produced by Brian Lawes and Hastings Local History Group. This costs £3 and is available from Book-Buster, in Queen's Road.
All proceeds from the sale of the booklet will go towards the project.

Fruits are the original dessert; it's in our DNA to crave their natural sweetness. Long before we were tempted with high-fructose corn syrup and artificial flavours, people refreshed themselves with juicy, fresh fruits.
The flesh of the soursop fruit consists of an edible, white pulp, some fiber, and a core of indigestible, black seeds. The taste of the soursop fruit is compared to that of a combination of strawberry and pineapple with other sweet, citrus notes, contrasting with an underlying creamy texture reminiscent of coconut and banana.
Soursop is popularly grown for individual consumption as a garden fruit. It is a large green-skinned fruit with a spikey, rough textured coat and an edible cottony white pulp interior. The soft pulp and fiber of soursop is widely used to make fruit juice drinks, nectars, candies, sorbets, ice cream desserts, smoothies and shakes.
Soursop is the fruit of Annona muricata (common Spanish name: guanábana), a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree which is a species of the genus Annona of the custard apple tree family. This fruit can grow to a mass of up to 7 kilograms (approximately 15 pounds). Soursop is native to the Caribbean and Central America but is now widely cultivated in tropical climates throughout the world. Due to the fruit's widespread cultivation and popularity in parts of Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, soursop and its derivative products are consumed across the world, also via branded food and beverage products available in many countries, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
Also Known As
In the Philippines, soursop is called guyabano, derived from the Spanish guanábana, and is eaten ripe, or used to make juices, smoothies, or ice cream. Sometimes, the leaf of the soursop tree is used to tenderize meat.
In Malaysia, soursop is known in Malay as durian belanda and in East Malaysia, it is locally known as lampun. Popularly, it is eaten raw when it ripens, or used as one of the ingredients in Ais Batu Campur, which is a popular mixed ice dessert.
In Indonesia, dodol sirsak, a sweetmeat, is made by boiling soursop pulp in water and adding sugar until the mixture hardens. Soursop is also a common ingredient for making fresh fruit juices that are sold by street food vendors.
In Brunei Darussalam, this fruit is popularly known as "Durian Salat," widely available and easily planted.
In Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and Harar (Ethiopia), it is a common fruit, often used for dessert as the only ingredient. In Colombia and Venezuela, soursop is used to make an aqua fresca beverage which is a fruit juice mixed with milk.
In Cuba, a thick smoothie made of soursop pulp, milk and cane sugar goes by the name of champola. Same as with making Jamaican soursop drinks, the seeds are removed when using a blender for processing. Ice cream and fruit bars made of soursop are also very popular in Cuba.
In Australia, another species of fruit similar to soursop called custard apple, is consumed as a dessert.
Fruit Shakes
The good news is that it isn't difficult to make this refreshing tropical drink. Sitting on your kitchen counter is a tool that can turn any soft fruit into a great drink in moments: the blender. Here are some general suggestions for making this delightful fruit shake that was traditionally served to me as a treat with Sunday meals in Jamaica:
- Use soft, ripe fruit. When choosing soursop, it should be soft but firm. Slightly overripe fruit is usually fine; rotten fruit is not.
- Remove the core and seeds. The seeds are normally left in the preparation, and removed with your hand while consuming, unless a blender is used for processing.
- As you would when blending most fruit shakes, you'll need some added liquid as well. One of the most important ingredients in many beverages is water. Sparkling water adds a nice touch.
- Soursop shake is sweetened with condensed milk and nutmeg to make a thick, rich drink. For a lighter shake, skip the condensed milk and sweeten with honey only to taste. Use a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to balance the sweetness and complexity.
- Always taste after blending; it's never too late to adjust the flavours.
- Use a hand blender make your shake even creamier (this step is optional). Add some crushed ice if you like, for extra chill and body.
Double or even triple this recipe to serve a crowd. Always adjust the sweetener and check to see if a little freshly squeezed lemon juice would balance the mix. Now, I can assure you that my Jamaican mommy who taught me to make soursop shake/drink/juice, never used sparkling water, but these general suggestions are the basics that will in time, allow you to make great fruit drinks without any recipe at all.
Soursop Fruit Shake
Taste the tropics!
1 x 1lb ripe soursop
5 – 6 cups water
Sweetened condensed milk (sweeten to taste)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- Peel the soursop by hand and place in a large mixing bowl. Remove the core and the seeds.
- Place the prepared soursop into a blender. Add 3 cups of water and puree. Add an additional 2 cups of water and puree for 1 minute longer.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a strainer or a sieve to remove fruit fibers. This will allow for a smooth, pulp-free shake.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, nutmeg, lemon juice (optional) and vanilla and stir to blend. Taste and adjust ingredients as needed for desired taste.
- Serve chilled, with or without crushed ice. Add a dash of nutmeg to each glass before serving.
Use a hand blender make your shake even creamier.
For a lighter version, omit sweetened condensed milk and sweeten with sugar to taste. If you choose to make the lighter version, note you can substitute water with almond milk.
You can now print this recipe card. Just hit 'Print' on the above to keep it handy.

The sweet tastes in fruit entice us. This is because our palates crave the unique balance of sweet and tart that really good fruits provide. When we consume them, their healthfulness reward us unlike "fruit-flavoured" drinks like sodas. The difference between a drink made with freshly pressed juice and one made with a sugary mix, is like night and day.

What's that all got to do with my flying adventures, you may ask yourselves. Not so much in itself, except that Aquila is the brand of the aircraft in which I had my second PPL lesson today (Wednesday, the 14th of December 2011). The A210 was recently delivered to KLM Aeroclub to train the Flight Instructors so that they can "check out" current pilots, and train new pilots (like yours truely) on the plane. And all that within the framework of the setup of a shared ownership construction within the KLM Aeroclub.
Despite the lousy weather the past week or so, and the impossible TAF of yesterday morning, this morning it started to look like at least marginal VMC. So, on our way to Lelystad!
Flight Instructor Ferry called me when I was just driving in my car past Schiphol airport. I could clearly see the landing lights of all traffic capturing the localiser for rwy 18C and 18R. That means I had at least 10km visibility, and the 18C approach is at 3000ft, so no significant cloud base below that. Well above VMC minima. Now all we needed was daylight... And, oh yes, the rain. We could do without that!
For lack of the usual traffic jams, we were at the highway gas station near Lelystad before 8 o'clock already. So we (my was went along :) ). So we stopped for a cup of coffee first. Nevertheless we were even a touch early at KLM Aeroclub. It was still raining, even harder than an hour earlier near Schiphol. Some 10 minutes later, Ferry arrived too. On his motorcycle, no less. Hero!
After a cup of coffee and a getting-to-know each other talk, we went over to the plane. I climbed in, together with my wife to see how we would fit. Comfy, spacious, ..., a beautiful plane!
We did the pre-flight inspection (walk-around) indoors, to save a couple of drops. Meteo still said it was a "go". Visibility, and cloud base were VMC, wind was within limits, a little rain would not hurt us, so we would go fly. After checking NOTAMs we rolled out one of the Cessna's to make room for rolling out the Aquila. In the mean time, it stopped raining! Things just couldn't be timed better :)
Because I had indicated I wanted to do as much as possible myself, I got to do the checklists, start up, and after the first turn taxi out to the runway. Nosewheel steering is such a luxury! On our way to rwy23 we passed a Fokker F50 of Mongolian, that I saw being towed out of QAPS hangar with all new colours half an hour earlier :). Nice. After I did the Pre-take-off checklist (carb heat and magnetos check), a good lookout, and a radio call by Ferry before lining up. Ferry also switched on the transponder at that point, I believe (I know he switched it off after landing)
As I opened up the throttle , I was a little surprised by the amount of footwork needed to keep her in the direction of the runway. So Ferry kicked in somewhere along the way. At 50 knots, a slight back pressure to the stick, and hop goes the front wheel off the tarmac. It took a little searching to find the right angle for a climbing flight. The Aquila is very responsive. Much like the AT-3. That lead to a little bit nerveous behaviour, both by the plane, and yours truely ;) Soon, we approached the 700 ft circuit height. So point the nose down a bit, level off and try out the electric trim. Having left the circuit, another little climb to 1400ft, and a righthand turn to stay East of the A6 highway. There's two limits to obey here: a 1500 ft ceiling, dictated by Schiphol TMA (class A) where VFR flight is forbidden, and the A6 highway, because West of that Highway there is a nature reserve that contains rangers that are not too fond of those pruttling props upstairs, despite the 65 dB quiet A210. It appeared that I did not have my trim well enough under control, because at one moment I found myself very close to the 1500 ft limit.
Anyway, a little to the North, there was 6500 ft of airspace available to play with, so we first tried climbing, trimming, descending, trimming, etc. And, of cause, enjoying the view, because it was surprisingly clear air, with beautiful clouds to our East, against the backdrop of an early morning sun. Then, I tried out some turns. Some slow flight, working towards a landing configuration (70 knots, full flaps, fully trimmed, descending). In fact , I experienced all normal procedures at least once. Also a rudder only turn, to get a little feel for how a rudder kick will also roll the plane.
Ferry had, by then, punched in a direct course to Teuge airport into the GPS, which would take us just south of the Oldebroek firing range. So also on this flight we would pass by the camping, again. Just North of Apeldoorn, there was a patch of sunshine, although it was obvious from the pools of water that it had rained seriously, only minutes before. Again, a backdrop of dark rain clouds to complete a beautiful picture. Sorry, no camera along. I had to fly ;-P
In order not to fly directly overhead Teuge (there might be para activity), we took a course stright overhead the A50 highway, followed by a left turn overhead A1 highway towards the Ijssel river. Following the Ijssel river North, we decided to head back west, again south of the firing range. This time I tried to find the camping using visual navigtion, following the road Emst-Gortel-Vierhouten. A well known road, for everyone that comes there on a semi-regular basis, because of the icecream truck near Gortel. If you ever find yourself in that area ...
After Vierhouten, the Gobi is well visible from the sky: a patch of sand with two distinct trees in it. The camping lays right next to that :)
|(Foto made in August, from the C172; Gobi top left)
high, luckily). So also this landing would not have been a very nice one without some corrective action by Ferry. So no "unassisted" landing for me yet, but there's progress. And that's the way to learn, I gues: do, observe, evaluate, and try again.
|GPS track
All in all an enriching experience. Of cause to confirm what I secretly already knew: the Aquila A210 is a wonderful plane! But also in the sense of: it takes some effort to fly properly, and: flying in real life is something different than sitting behind your PC, flying the simulator.

A print campaign and packaging for the launch of a new premium line of baby products.
Joie Children's Products, Ltd.
Graphic design and layout of the advertisements, production design for retail packaging, photo editing/retouching
InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop
Tara Hoover Design worked with the Joie Signature brand team on the launch campaign of their new premium line of strollers and car seats. The team needed three layouts that spoke to different audiences based on the ad buy. A clear call-to-action and cross sell was also a priority so customers could be aware of the other products available in the line. The first concept focused on lifestyle, the second on product and the third was a combination of the two that was more closely aligned to the product packaging. In addition to the print campaign, Tara also handled the production design for the retail packaging of each product, which included cartons and point-of-purchase tags.

Detention in Iraq of U.S. Civilian Challenged
WASHINGTON (CN) – An attorney has filed a habeas petition for a civilian contractor who has been imprisoned at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq since November, and whom the U.S. military wants to court martial – though he is a civilian. David Breda Jr. says the military confiscated his passport, and claims he was "never officially notified of the nature of the pending charges which allegedly confer jurisdiction on the United States military to hold (him) against his will at Al Asad Air Base."
Breda says he served 6½ years in the U.S. Army and was discharged as a sergeant in 2001. He was working for KBR as a civilian contractor when he was detained on Nov. 26, 2008.
His attorney, David Sheldon, says Breda, "a full-fledged U.S. civilian, is poised to be tried by military court-martial, something that has not happened to a U.S. civilian government employee or U.S. contractor in at least thirty-eight years. The United States military has confined Mr. Breda to the Al Asad Air Base in Iraq for more than 60 days beyond the expiration of his civilian contract in preparation for court-martial proceedings despite a series of Supreme Court decisions rejecting on constitutional grounds prior efforts to subject civilians to trial by court-martial. The asserted basis for the military's actions is an ill-considered 2006 amendment to the Uniform Code of Military Justice ('UCMJ'), enacted without hearings or committee consideration, that purports to subject certain civilians to trial by court-martial during 'contingency operations.' But this statute, if it even applied to Mr. Breda by its terms, cannot overcome the long line of Supreme Court precedent limiting court-martial jurisdiction to accuseds who, unlike Mr. Breda, are actually part of the active armed forces."
Breda's attorney insists, "The United States cannot hold Mr. Breda under restrictions tantamount to confinement in Iraq without the bail hearing to which a civilian defendant is ordinarily entitled, in the guise of proceeding with a court-martial that the United States military has neither the constitutional nor statutory authority to convene."
Breda received an "other than honorable" discharge from the Army on March 9, 2001, and is not allowed to be re-admitted to the U.S. military, according to the complaint. On Nov. 26, 2008, one day before finishing his stint with KBR, he received a "Restriction in Lieu of Arrest" from Brig. Gen. Randolf Alles, the commanding general of Al Asad Air base. Alles also is commander of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, which is stationed there.
"Because the Memorandum of Restriction in Lieu of Arrest also forbade Mr. Breda from any contact with Ms. Rachael Wright, a former KBR co-worker and former MWR (Moral Welfare and Recreation) Coordinator, the military has only intimated that Mr. Breda is being held in Iraq as a result of a complaint made by Ms. Wright on or about Nov. 6, 2008 wherein she alleged that Mr. Breda had inappropriately touched her on or (sic) Oct. 4, 2008," according to the complaint.
Breda has a wife and children in Pearland, Texas.
His attorney demands a writ of habeas corpus and an order prohibiting the court martial, or a writ of mandamus and order of prohibition.

10. King Kong, 1933
In the rather heartbreaking final scene of the original King Kong, Kong tries to take refuge at the pinnacle of the Empire State building before being shot at by the nasty little humans until he finally succumbs. We see an amazing wide shot as his huge body twists and crumples its way from the top of the skyscraper all the way down to the concrete below where, one assumes, a mammoth operation will soon be underway to scrape his gargantuan carcass off the highway so that the New Yorkers can get on about their business.
9. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969
"What's the matter with you?"
"I can't swim!"
"What are ya, crazy? The fall'll probably kill ya!"
Lucky for Butch and Sundance, the fall doesn't kill them. After being cornered at the edge of a ravine, and faced with being arrested, killed, or starved out, they pick the risky route of jumping off the edge of the cliff into the water below. And so, one of cinema's most iconic images (that of Robert Redford and Paul Newman jumping to their probable deaths) was born.
8. Touching the Void, 2003
A nail-biting drama-mentary based on the true story of two young climbers. In the mid-eighties, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates attempted to reach the summit of Siule Grande in Peru. After Joe slid off the edge of a precipice, Simon was forced to cut the rope that connected them to save his own life (rather than have both of them plummet to their deaths). Joe, who already had a broken leg from a previous accident, fell 150 feet into a crevasse, but was miraculously saved by a thick ledge of crusted snow. He managed to crawl out of the crevasse, and in three days, without food or water, made his way back to camp to meet up with Simon (who had naturally assumed he was dead).
7. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, 2000
In Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon there is a lot of talk about a legendary mountain which grants wishes, but there's a catch; you have to jump off the thing first. It's still all good though; apparently you float on forever in perfect happiness, knowing that your wish has been granted. At the end of the film, Ziyi Zhang decides to put the legend to the test, and floats off with a grin on her face as the credits roll.
6. The Fugitive, 1993
Who could forget The Fugitive, a wonderful piece of trash starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. Ford plays Richard Kimble, a doctor who is in jail for killing his wife, when a lucky bus crash sets him loose, so he can try to prove his innocence even as Tommy Lee Jones tries to track him down. He is, of course, innocent - The Fugitive is the film which has given rise to the classic get-out excuse, 'A one-armed man did it!' The film is also famous for the ridiculous scene in which Ford jumps off a dam to escape Tommy Lee Jones. There's willing suspension of disbelief, and then there's downright bullshitting; by rights, Dr Kimble should have gone to a watery grave and the one-armed man should have lived to kill another day. But, this is Hollywood, and Harrison Ford will never die; he has danced in the blue flame.
5. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1984
For our next great fall, we have to return to Harrison Ford; in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indie (accompanied by Short Round and that squeaky blonde who is improbably named 'Willie') jumps out of a crashing plane in a rubber dinghy, which then slides down the side of a mountain, off the edge of a cliff, and down into a raging river. This would kill off any normal human being, apart from those who happen to be in the majestic company of the magical Harrison Ford, a man who has jumped off a dam, jumped out of a crashing plane, survived a nuclear blast by shutting himself inside a fridge, and of course drunk from the Holy Grail. Like I said; the day that Harrison Ford dies is the day that the Earth cracks open like an egg and all of time and space crumble to dust.
4. The Omen, 1976
If there's one movie (or series of movies) in which spectacular deaths abound, it's The Omen. The particular one I'm referring to here is when Lee Remick, (already in hospital due to her devil-son Damian pushing her over a balcony) crashes out of a window and plummets fifteen storeys while shrieking fit to bust, before going through the roof of an ambulance, landing grotesquely on the bed and gazing into the camera with her cold dead eyes. Yeah, that's a good one.
3. Basil, the Great Mouse Detective, 1986
This one's my personal favourite. Basil, the Great Mouse Detective is sadly one of the more forgotten great Disney movies of the eighties. The brilliant climactic punch up between Basil and the evil Rattigan (wonderfully voiced by Vincent Price) takes place on the ticking hands of London's Big Ben. Eventually the two rodents are flung out into space, both dropping like stones into the London fog. While Rattigan is crushed into catfood on the cobbles below, Basil (who is of course based on Sherlock Holmes) ingeniously pedals his way back to the heights of the clock tower using a handy propellor he happened to rip from Rattigan's airship.
2. Vertigo, 1958
Hitchcock's Vertigo, probably one of the greatest films of all time, is full of people falling off things; a cop falls off a roof in the first five minutes, Kim Novak throws herself into San Francisco Bay not long after that. But, the greatest of them all has to be the double-whammy of Novak throwing herself out of the same belltower twice in a row. The first time, she doesn't throw herself out at all, it's simply a clever ruse to further a murder plot. The second time, she really does go for it; however, it's a little unclear whether she did it on purpose, unable to bear the guilt of having deceived poor Jimmy Stewart, or if she was simply terrified by the sight of a nun coming up the stairs to find them, and slipped to her doom. My money's on the nun.
1. Die Hard, 1988
No great list of 'People Falling Off Things' would be complete without good old Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber, thrown out of the Nakatomi building by Bruce Willis (as John McClane). Dashing as ever in his John Phillips suit and in a shower of sparkling glass, he indulges in a long leisurely fall finished off with a nice round thump at the end of it. His brother Jeremy Irons comes back to avenge him (in Die Hard: With a Vengeance) but Bruce is able to deftly dispose of him too. Where are the parents that raised these two psycho terrorists? Will they show up toting AK-47s in Die Hard 5? If so, maybe Bruce, now in his fifties, can still muster up the strength put on his white vest and chuck them off something high.

Unfortunately, many Christians have been given a half Gospel. Pastors, teachers, parents, friends love to talk about the blessings of God, but nothing about the cost. Many people are only told that a life following Jesus is a life of joy, peace, love and hope. This all sounds great, so you said yes to Jesus. Who wouldn't?
But reality soon set in. Perhaps you lose your job, you get sick, you run out of money, your marriage hits the rocks, you lose friends, etc. At that point you start to wonder if any of those gospel promises are true. Following Jesus isn't panning out the way you thought. Where is the peace?
The problem is that when Christ was shared with you, you were only given a partial truth. Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely true that a Christian life is one of joy, peace, love, hope, and many more blessings, but it doesn't come without earthly sacrifice.
Jesus says in Luke 14:27-30, "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish."
When the Gospel is proclaimed, the central reality of that Gospel is Jesus. We are called to believe and follow Jesus. He is to be our greatest Treasure. This calling to follow Jesus comes with a price. We must lay everything down, bear our own cross, and go after Jesus. We cannot cling to the world and cling to Christ. We must choose. As the Psalmist says, "your steadfast love is better than life." (Psalm 63).
So how do we know if we have truly let go of everything to follow Christ? Suffering.
Little by little (or sometimes a lot) God allows for us to face difficulties. In those difficulties we start to wonder if God has turned his back on us. We become like Israel who asked "Is the Lord among us or not?" (Exodus 17:7) The answer to that question for Israel in the book of Exodus and for true Christians today is yes. God is always with us. Jesus said it himself in Matthew 28:20, "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." ALWAYS…TO THE END.
The difficulties in life are the test that creates the evidence of authentic faith. For those who throw in the towel, the evidence proves they never trusted in Jesus to begin with. They never counted the cost. Their faith was counterfeit. However, for those who endure and are steadfast in their commitment to Jesus no matter how hard it gets, their perseverance is evidence of their true saving faith.
This is why we can rejoice when tribulations arise, for God is providing an opportunity for evidence of the true condition of our hearts. In fact, in a sense, the presence of trials proves the presence of God, and the absence of trials proves the absence of God. Why can we say this? Hebrews 12:7, "It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons."

It's been an interesting perspective to watch as engineering consultancies have been increasingly squeezed by competition, domestic and particularly international. Many of the perks have been removed, and certainly pressure to complete tasks on time is much higher and the need to be fully chargeable is extremely important. Many employees that would have slid by in the past (say 10 years ago) are being furloughed, even at the larger firms. Perhaps especially at the larger firms. I realize that the public never really appreciates this, simply pointing to the increasing expense of infrastructure projects as if consultants were simply pulling a fast one.
What is particularly novel (and perhaps a bit disheartening for long-time consultants) is that consultancy has less prestige than it ever had. (At least some people did relish the idea of working on multiple key projects across the country.) And, at least in the States (though not really in Canada) the public sector has begun to increase its compensation to the point where it is not absurd for talented engineers and planners to migrate to MPO and state DOTs. Of course, the most talented usually opted for academia after a couple of years in the trenches as a consultant.
I probably would not encourage my children to become consultants, at least not to plan to do it for a long time. The main reason this is on my mind is that I have decided to move back to the public sector, starting in April. There are all kinds of other pressures, particularly when the outcomes the agency I am joining are quite visible and often the decisions taken are often highly criticized. Overall, it seems like the right move for me, but I can't really get into all the details. I won't even vow never to return to consulting, though at the moment it seems unlikely, as I would like to finish out my career in a place that feels a bit more stable.

Frogs, pools, and Wetlands!
Ah! The arrival of a schizophrenic summer! Hot, then cold, then cold and wet, it's always a surprise this season. Nature is ever changing and a prankster at its best!
This is a notoriously difficult season for swimming pools. With all the tremendous rain, hail, thunder, and more than enough lightning I am battling the onslaught of the green! I have to be honest that overall I don't have too many problems with the swimming pool other than the fact that it never gets very warm due to it being over shadowed by the immense Jacarandas on the pavement
The town council couldn't be bothered to trim down or maintain the streets no matter how much one invests time and money on length telephonic calls. The joys of the new South Africa! A new South Africa but the same old people.
I few weeks ago I was away in Ellisras and boy was it hot. It reached 38 degrees and even the animals on the game drive had retired to sweat it out in the privacy of their dense foliage!
The friends I stayed with for the weekend also have a large swimming pool. Surprisingly enough, with those high temperatures, their swimming pool wasn't the expected sauna.
The previous week with their rainfall a lot of toads and frogs thought that their swimming pool would present the best refuge in the Bosveld! I was under the impression that frogs were an endangered species! Well, I suspect they are all hiding out in the Bosveld under newly applied refugee status!
Seeing as my pool is the appropriate colour, density, and texture… I am considering converting it into a Wetland Pool!
What do you think? Save the frog and the abundant algae species? Shall I coax them back to Johannesburg with the promise of better habitation?

Mudiay is playing overseas in China for the Guangdong Tigers after deciding to play professional last summer instead of enroll at SMU. Kennedy sat on the bench in street clothes with no official world when he could become eligible.
''We expected to have Emmanuel and Markus, but we're going to just learn from this,'' SMU coach Larry Brown said. ''I'm anxious to see how we compete, and I'm hopeful we'll be prepared to play.''
Brown had planned to play Moore, a 6-foot-8 sophomore who made one start as a freshman, more on the perimeter this season.
''Now we're short-handed up front. He was great,'' Brown said. ''We're going to need him. I thought all our big guys offensively were really good.''
Mustangs senior Cannen Cunningham said of Moore: ''I don't want to put any pressure on him, but you could get used to that.''
Moreira, a 6-11 senior, was limited to 23 games and 14 starts in 2013-14 by a knee injury. Last summer, he played for the Angola national team at the World Cup in Spain and recorded two double-doubles.
Lamar was led by Anthony Holliday with 12 points. The Cardinals were limited to 31.4 percent shooting from the floor, 5-for-20 on three-pointers.
''We got overwhelmed,'' said Lamar coach Tic Price, who took over the Cardinals with 10 games to play last season after Pat Knight was fired. ''They're long, athletic. If you don't get back, they'll blow you out of the gym. It was up close and personal for us tonight.''
SMU burst to a 15-5 lead before Lamar closed the gap to 20-14 midway through the half. A three-pointer by Justin Martin then sparked the Mustangs to a 21-2 run over the next 6 1/2 minutes as SMU eased to a 46-20 lead at intermission. The Mustangs led by as many as 43 in the second half.
''I don't like games like that,'' Brown said.
SMU: Friday's home opener was a sellout, giving the Mustangs sellouts in 10 of 14 games played at Moody Coliseum since the beginning of last season. ''Coach Brown, his staff, his players have created a buzz here,'' Price said.
Lamar: Five of the Cardinals' 13 players are junior-college transfers. They should get acquainted on the road with Lamar playing seven of its first eight away from home.
SMU visits No. 13 Gonzaga on Monday.
Lamar hosts NAIA LSU-Alexandria on Sunday
SMU home games last season attracted local celebrities like Jason Garrett and Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Friday night's headliner was SMU alum and actor Brian Baumgartner from ''The Office,'' grand marshal of Saturday's homecoming parade.
The Philadelphia 76ers, one of 10 pro teams that Brown has coached, came through Dallas on Thursday night and lost by 53 points to the Mavericks to remain winless. ''I just want to see them win,'' Brown said. ''That city was great to me. I love (Sixers coach) Brett Brown. I don't want to see what he's going through.''

A lack of affordable housing is driving an epidemic of disabled women, the mentally ill, widows and victims of domestic violence who are ending up homeless, experts warn.
Growing numbers of homeless older single women across Australia have been frozen out of the private rental market, says Alice Spizzo from the Women's Housing Company.
"There is a real need for affordable housing particularly for older women with disabilities we are really aiming to fill that void as best we can," Ms Spizzo told AAP.
In a bid to reverse the troubling trend, the NSW government has injected $7.4 million into a new social housing complex in the Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo.
The 20-apartment structure has been designed to house some of society's most vulnerable older women.
Social Housing Minister Brad Hazzard said partnerships between not-for-profit and private sectors were critical to delivering important services to vulnerable people.
"A lot of the women who will find a home here are people who had a pretty stable life up until recently, but perhaps through separation, divorce or mental health issues have ended up homeless," Mr Hazzard said.
Ms Georgious hopes the initiative can help more women live long, independent and healthy lives.
"The aim for us is to take pressure off all the other services that government might need to provide, the health service, the aged care system," she said.
"It's a place where women can stay living independent, full lives."

Please email Annie Kelly at firstname.lastname@example.com, if you can assist. Girls on the Run is a national organization that sponsors a running platform to encourage positive self-esteem among young girls. They inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The teams meet twice a week and then will run a non-competitive 5K in June which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result—making the seemingly impossible, possible, and teaching girls that they can. For more information please visit www.girlsontherun.org.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2013.
The researcher previously mentioned said she must've made a mistake, confusing my tree with another's. Anyway, she sent me heaps of documents relating to my great-grandfather's family – marriage, birth and death certificates, maps and information. Awesome!
I continued with the hints on the family tree and linked census returns and other records to the individuals on the tree. I already had copies in folders, but for some reason hadn't linked these. I did this for Rose and Mudd families.
My 'Family Tree Maker' program no longer worked on my 64 bit computer and it seems you have to pay for an upgrade. I wasn't prepared to do that. I'm quite happy with tribalpages.com for a family tree. I just needed a GEDCOM reader to read the downloaded file. I had a look at recommendations for free genealogy programs and the three that seemed the most popular were LDS' PAF, Gramps and Ahnenblatt. I didn't like PAF – too simplistic and clunky. Gramps was a huge file and not intuitive at all. I didn't like it. So, of the three I decided on Ahnenblatt. It allowed the upload of photos too, which is handy.
As I've made a few changes to the online tree, I will have to download another version for Ahnenblatt and re-insert photos – which was very quick anyway. For some reason I had my maternal great-grandfather's birth date incorrect, even though I possess a copy of his death certificate. I really need to go through my physical notes with a fine-tooth comb and double check everything.
I logged onto ancestry.com and found a message from a fellow researcher who thought I had some families mixed up. I couldn't see where, so have sent her details I have and asked what she means.
While there, I reviewed some hints and linked a few census returns and BMD details (which I already had saved but hadn't linked on the tree there). Other researchers differ on details on the surname of Matthew Darlington's wife. Although they appear to have the same person (other details match), one puts his wife's surname as Malam (which I had) and the other as Johnson. There are some differences in birth places too so someone somewhere may have the wrong record (although dates seem to be the same).
I had a look at the Rose side of the family and found more details for Hannah Reynolds, connected to the Reeve family. That's branching out a bit.
I then looked at hints for Mary Rose, nee Mudd. I found national probate details at her death in 1900. She left 1240 pounds, 10s 4d to one of her sons. I remember my great aunt mentioning something along these lines. Because Mary had left everything to him, he made sure that his sisters (of which there were 10!) were left money on his death. I think he only left it to the younger sisters. I will have to go back to my aunt's letter, in which she mentions this. So, nice to see evidence of the will.
All the above took me a long time and the sun is shining and I have much to do, so I must stop there for now.

SISSETON, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota woman is crediting her dog with saving the life of her rancher husband.
Connie Piotter tells KFGO radio that her husband Marvin was doing chores with their dog Buddy when one of the cows attacked him.
Connie says the dog held the cow at bay until Marvin could crawl to safety. Marvin suffered several bruised and broken bones and is recovering at home.
Connie says she's convinced her husband wouldn't be alive without Buddy's bravery.
She says Buddy will be "queen for the rest of her life."

LearnHindiwith Us!Start Learning!
As I've said before, Hindi is sometimes called a "khichdri bhasha," (खिचड़ी भाषा, both words are feminine nouns) which basically means that it is a "mixed language" consisting of words, phrases and even sometimes grammatical structures from a variety of different languages. "Khichdri" (खिचड़ी, fem. noun) is a popular dish of ghee or clarified butter, cooked lentils, rice and spices that is simultaneously a "comfort food" as well as a dish often recommended for those suffering from digestive problems or other ailments; as it pertains to a language, "khichdi" (खिचड़ी) basically means that the language in question is composed of different elements, just as the dish is. Knowing the origin of words and phrases in Hindi can be a fascinating way to track this language and its speakers' contact with various "visitors" and permanent settlers who traveled to North India throughout the centuries. Some of the languages that can be detected within Hindi words, phrases and grammatical structures are the following: Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Portuguese, Sanskrit, Prakrit and, of course, English.
But, in this blog, I want to talk about a very particular South Asian language that has touched Hindi, especially as it is spoken in and around the Indian capital city of New Delhi, in an indelible way. That's right, I'm talking about Punjabi (पंजाबी, fem. noun, as are all languages). The title of this blog, "हिंदी की खिचड़ी में पंजाबी सुआद" (Hindi ki khichri me Punjabi suaad, or svaad in Hindi) meaning "(A) Punjabi flavor in Hindi khichri," should've given you a clue as to what this blog would be about 🙂 This language is part of the Indo-Aryan language group, just as Hindi is, and it is commonly spoken in both the Indian and Pakistani parts of Punjab (where it often written in Urdu or nastaliq script). There are a lot of stereotypes, some of them not favorable, about Punjabis and some "Shuddh Hindivale" (शुद्ध हिंदी वाले, or proponents of shuddh/शुद्ध or pure, i.e. Sanksritized, Hindi) would argue that Punjabis have "corrupted" Sanskritized Hindi by injecting it with their own particular flavor. But, in this blog, we'll try to forget all of that and talk about all the ways in which this fascinating language has positively influenced its sister, Hindi.
If you find yourself in New Delhi (commonly just referred to as Delhi or, in Hindi and Punjabi, दिल्ली), you may hear quite a bit of Punjabi or Punjabi-inflected Hindi because of the large number of Punjabis who live there. They will most likely appreciate it if you know a few words and phrases in Punjabi as well as in Hindi or at least appreciate the striking resemblance between the two languages:
Da/de/di (दा/दे/दी): the Punjabi equivalents of ka/ke/ki (का/के/की or possessive particles in Hindi; there is a separate form for feminine plural in Punjabi, but you most likely will not need to know that). Here are some examples of this:
*If you're going to talk about Hinglish, which is a combination of Hindi and English, you can't forget "Pinglish," a combination of Punjabi and English; here's a good example of it in an actual Punjabi song title: "Family दी Member" (from the Punjabi film, अँग्रेज/Angrej).
Pind (पिंड): a very important word, if not essential! It means a village.
*variations: village-like or of the village (पेंडू/pendoo), villager (पिंड वाला/pind vaalaa). Be careful how you use these terms, however, as they can carry a pejorative connotation of someone who is unsophisticated and simple (in a bad way).
Ainvayi (ऐंवयी): in Hindi, this would be translated as "yunh hi," (यों ही) which has many meanings, including "just in this way, casually, simply, cursorily, by chance"; this is a notoriously difficult phrase to translate, so I will illustrate its possible meanings with a few examples:
Q: Why are you reading outside? A: I don't know, just because/just like that.
You become/get angry just like that (you have a quick temper).
(From renowned Hindi author, Rajendra Yadav's, सारा आकाश/Saaraa Aakaash/The Whole Sky). I remained seated, just (simply) silently staring at the bulb as if I were thinking about something serious, oblivious to the world.
Ik (इक): his can mean "a" in Punjabi but, in Hindi, can have the meanings of both "a" and can be a variation of एक (ek) or the number one. This is a useful word to know both for Punjabi and Hindi because it is often used in song lyrics to add a more melodious tone to the words.
Some Postpositions and Other Useful Words:
*Other question words: what, की/ki or, in Hindi, क्या/kyaa, किथ्थे/kiththe or, in Hindi, कहाँ/kahaan, when, कदोण/kadoṇ or, in Hindi, कब/kab and why, किणु/kiṇu or, in Hindi, क्यों/kyoon
I thought it would be fun to feature a Punjabi song for a change, as the Hindi and Punjabi music and film industries feed into each other quite a lot. Listen to this song with a piece of paper and pen/pencil at hand so that you can note down any words that seem familiar from your knowledge of Hindi. This song is called "कुरता/kurtaa" (hey, there's one!) from the aforementioned film अँग्रेज/Angrej and features actor and singer Amrinder Gill, who is incredibly popular amongst those in the know 😉 As a plus, one of the costars of this film is the पिंड/pind:
क्या बात कुड़िये!!!!!! छा गए तुस्सी ते !!
बहुत वदिया लिखा है। क्या हिंदी क्या पंजाबी दोनो भाषाओं को अच्छे से बताया है !
मज़ा आ गया ।
I will be following your blog for more interesting facts 😣😆😎😁😁

Blake Tyner has sent his friends a postcard from the past.
The UNC Pembroke student and chronicler of Robeson County history has published his second book of historic photography. Entitled "Robeson County in VintagePostcards," Tyner's latest book is 125 pages of postcards dating back to the early 1900s.
The postcards were collected by Tyner and his wife Bess over many years. The book is loaded with Robeson County landmarks and every day scenes of a bustling county.
"I have strived to include not only street scenes and business scenes from long ago but historical homes, churches, and most importantly, community life," he said. "It has been a true joy to journey back and reconstruct the county's past."
Tyner often lectures on the value of every day history that many people take out with the trash.
Maxton Corn Field
"People are often under the impression that they do not have anything important enough to be in a history book," he said. "This is not the case. When I was putting this book together, I looked for images of every day life to tell the history of our country."
Postcards are a unique slice of history, he said.
"As you thumb through the book, it is interesting to see what parts of Robeson County were chosen in the past to grace postcards," Tyner said. "As you progress through this book, you will notice many landmarks that local residents pass each day with no thought of the importance they have played in the county's history. "
Tyner's favorite postcards from the collection are many:
- The tent store that was at 5th and Elm Streets in downtown Lumberton. "There are all these large downtown buildings, and then there is this tent. Apparently, there was a tradition of tent stores," Tyner said.
- An early photography of downtown Maxton. "The Patterson Building is very well known. This was a photo of the downtown before that building was constructed."
- An aerial shot of St. Pauls, Tyner's hometown. "This postcard dates somewhere from 1915-20 and shows the old hotel and many large homes," he said.
- The old Caldwell House with sunken gardens in Lumberton. "One of the Caldwell children is sitting on the steps of the porch," he said.
- A matchbook cover of the Maxton-Laurinburg Airbase, the nation's largest glider base in World War II. "The matchbook cover was to be used as a postcard after use. It shows the ingenuity during war times," he said.
This is his second published collection of historic photographs. The first was "Robeson County," a pictorial history of the county published by Arcadia Publishing House's "Images of America" series.
Growing up in St. Pauls in northern Robeson County, Tyner developed a love of history early in life. He plans a second book of historic Robeson photographs and another devoted to The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
Governor Angus W. McLean Home
"My publisher also would like me to do a book on Dillon County (S.C.)," Tyner said. "So many of the families between Robeson and Dillon counties overlap, and in early times, the state borders moved several times."
Besides finishing work on a degree in history, Tyner works in the Art Department and spends weekends setting up exhibits at the Robeson County History Museum in Lumberton.
Tyner expects to finish his undergraduate studies in December 2005. He is applying to the Master of Library Science program at N.C. Central University and will pursue an archive tract.
A copy of "Robeson County in Vintage Postcards (Arcadia Publishing House; $20) may be obtained from Tyner by calling 910.521.6216 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The zebra plant is a tropical plant with glossy green and white leaves that is native to the tropical areas of South America. The plant will produce a yellow spike bloom that is not fragrant and is considered a woody shrub. The plants are commonly used as houseplants. However, in USDA growing zones 10-11, they will grow outdoors in shaded conditions.
Care of the Zebra Plant
Plant the zebra plant for indoor use in a container that allows room for root growth. The ideal size is 1 inch larger in diameter than the root ball. Indoor zebra plants will need transplanting periodically as growth slows down because of being root bound.
Plant zebra plants outdoors in a hole that is twice the size of the plant's root ball and the same depth as the container the plant is presently in. Add compost to the hole to increase moisture retention. Remove the plant from the container and separate the roots. Place the plant in the hole and fill with soil by lightly packing it around the plant.
Place zebra plants in a location that provides filtered light and protection from the hot afternoon sun. Place an indoor plant in a location that offers bright light but not direct sunlight. Plant zebra plants outdoors under trees that provide light filtering with leaf cover.
Fertilize zebra plants every two weeks with a water soluble fertilizer that is quick release. Provide a winter rest period by not fertilizing during the months of October through February as this will initiate new bloom growth.
Water zebra plants regularly so the soil is moist, but not wet. Water generously when the top 2 inches of soil become dry. Check the plant regularly as environmental factors affect soil dryness.
Mulch outdoor zebra plants to maintain soil moisture. The plants should be watered a minimum of once a week when there is less than 1 inch of rainfall per week.

The Quantification of the Cosmos in Renaissance Natural Philosophy
In classical and Aristotelian thought, mathematics was considered a branch of abstract conceptual philosophy that lacked any necessary correlation with the physical world. Although the utility of mathematical models was thought useful in certain restricted fields, such models were believed incapable of rendering insight into real world cause and effect relationships that were the essential stuff of natural philosophy. This attitude remained prevalent until the Renaissance, when developments in astronomy and experimental science encouraged some thinkers to attempt to integrate mathematics into their natural philosophical systems. This paper will examine this epistemic turn, looking particularly at the work of Galileo, Kepler, and Descartes, and seek to explain why some systems failed while others ultimately were accepted as the approved basis for the investigation of the fundamental properties of the natural world.

Map | Find Parking
Good Girl/Bad Year is a stand up comedy show celebrating the worst moments of 2016. Some of Chicago's most renowned comics discuss their love, loss and biggest mistakes. In addition to featuring Chicago's finest comics, this lively show also includes three lottery spots for storytellers and audience members to throw their name in the hat.
