These suits have been created as an option for Lower Budget projects such as Halloween parties, presentations, education, film school, etc. They are still good
quality but much lower fidelity than our regular line of suits. As a for instance of cost-cutting these do not come with gold faceplates as do our film quality suits. If
filmed and lit properly they look very good and we have many letters of appreciation. WonderWorks has worked closely with ESP to create four of these in response
to this need. We are the only source for these suits as rentals. We are developing a "no frills" package where you will prepare your own paperwork to help make
this possible and keep costs low. The suits have been simplified to keep our cleaning costs low. Please refer to the DETAILED FAQ page for details on what is
required to rent. These are in constant demand so please book in advance to insure availability. These require a $1,950 Security deposit as well as Certificate of
Insurance naming WonderWorks inc. as Additional Insured for $1,000,000 in liability.
These may only be used for personal use, no commercial applications such as film, TV, media, photos, art, etc. unless rented directly through WonderWorks
inc. All Copyrights are those of WonderWorks inc. and will be strictly enforced. The suits we rent have been ruggedized and made to be somewhat more
realistic than those foreign-made suits that can be purchased from the internet.
We have phased out our commercial grade rental suits for lack of interest and sold them at auction to other companies and to NASA. As a result, we now have a
very limited number of A7L Moon Suit rentals starting at $900 PER WEEK complete with helmets, gloves, patches and boots. Again, These were made specifically for
STUDENTS, EVENTS, PARTIES, EDUCATIONAL etc. PLEASE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS, SHORTER RENTAL PERIODS, etc ARE POSSIBLE. Further to cost cutting,
THESE DO NOT COME WITH COOLING SYSTEMS OF ANY SORT but are made of material which wicks moisture and is comfortable in a shirt-sleeve environment. As
shown, there other helmets available as options, for an additional fee, but do not come with the suits, Nor can they be rented separately.
Excessive dirt or damage will be billed at cost of Labor at the shop rate of $95 per hour. We reserve the right to refuse rentals to anyone who is abusive or overly

The Internet Speed scandal
June 2015
The phrase "Postcode Lottery" is applied to much, but nowhere is it more relevant than when adssessing broadband speeds. In fact, given that we claim to be an advanced, developed country, and that the technical, financial and legal barriers to a universal, consistent and high speed broadband service are minimal, the service we have is a disgrace.
Ofcom's latest report showed that UK broadband speeds range from under 0.5 Mbit/s to over 30 Mbit/s; the major reason for the disparity was geography, but it's not remoteness that is the problem; it's often simply a measure of the local effort that has been applied.
What's even more irritating is that the suppliers can advertise huge speeds with straight faces, but even if only 10% of their customers receive that speed, no advertising rule is broken. It's extraordinary; suppose only 10% of The Oldie's subscribers received all the pages of the magazine, and all the others only got some, do you think we could continue? I think not.
It has created a two-tier property market, especially for commercial premises. A local farmer has converted some farm buildings into very comfortable offices with fabulous views, but he cannot let them until high speed internet is installed; and no date is forthcoming from the powers that be.
So who is to blame? I think the fault lies with both the Government and Local Authorities who have failed to notice that good access to the Internet has become as important as having a phone line, and almost as vital as water, electricity and roads. In other words, broadband is a utility, and needs the sort of investment and regulation that utilities receive.
I have long said that if any government wants raise both spirits and wealth in this country it's infrastructure that they should focus on, and at the moment the most obvious lack of investment and planning is evident in both broadband and the railways. Both services are way behind the level a civilised country should expect, and both have the capacity to improve quality of life significantly for relatively modest cost.
If politicians want my vote on 7th May, let them make some sort of promise to sort this out.
However, until then, there are one or two steps of your own you can try. First, and most important, ask your current supplier if you are getting the best and fastest service they can deliver to your door. Despite my grumblings they have been gradually improving the network, but have often not mentioned it to those whose lines are enhanced. You'll probably have to have a new router (the box that plugs into the telephone socket), possibly pay a slightly higher bill, and there will be a bit of setting up, but it should be pretty simple.
A more radical solution, but not for the faint hearted, is to change supplier. Especially in towns, it may well be that one company has a better pipeline to your house than another; it's worth investigating.
You should also make sure that you are distributing the service you have efficiently around the house; one way to achieve this is by using the electricity main, I have written about this before (click here and click here).
Some more resources
To find out what speed you are currently getting, use the tester below - speeds will vary, but it will give you a good idea, and something to discuss with your supplier.
You might also want to have a quick look at this video put out by Ofcom, which also offers some sensible advice, and you can download a short leaflet from them by clicking here.

Carpets & Candids: Elizabeth's pretty dots and roses
This dress is totally prommy, no doubt. It's also exquisite. The print is lovely. I like how the dots smear the roses. And I like how the roses light up at the right angles. Also the side bustle? Doesn't always work for me but here, I like it so much.Photos:

Loyola Marymount is off to a 4-0 start and just defeated Northern Arizona, 90-78, with much less trouble than USC had in felling the Lumberjacks.
Anthony Ireland, a senior guard from Connecticut, has been the Lions' star. He twice has had double-doubles in points and assists as Loyola Marymount is off to its best start since the 2003-04 season.
Coach Max Good said the Lions have been playing "a pretty aggressive style of defense that at times creates some easy baskets for the opponent, but it also generates opportunities for us on offense.
"We need to get a little smarter with it, but I think we can wear teams down in the second half."

Have you been looking for a natural remedy for soothing congestion, stuffy noses and other ailments? A replacement for that petroleum based salve that you mom lovingly slathered on your chest when you were a child?
This natural homemade vaporub ointment is a quick and easy remedy that you can mix together yourself in small batches. It provides that same warm and comforting experience from your childhood with with beneficial ingredients including essential oils that are both antibacterial and antiviral.
About the oils
The recipe uses the healing power of four essentials oils: Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender& Rosemary.
It is important to use very low heat when melting your carrier oils. You want to melt the solids (beeswax, coconut oil and shea butter) but you do not want them to get too hot. Heat will destroy some of the goodness in the oils.
Double Boiler
Other Uses For Your Homemade VapoRub Ointment
The Sock Trick
A friend once told me about her grandmas trick for soothing colds. Slather the vaporub all over your feet and then put on a thick pair of socks. You'll cough less and sleep better. It really works!
Sooth Sore Muscles
When I've been working in the garden all day and my body aches I use this same recipe as a muscle rub. To get the best benefits have a nice hot shower and then massage this balm into your sore muscles. It's even better if you can get someone to do it for you! 🙂
- 2 Tbsp Shea Butter
- 4Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Hemp Seed Oil *
- 1.5 Tbps Bees Wax
- 6 drops Vitamin E Oil
- 5 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- 15 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
- 15 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
- 15 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
Use a double boiler or fashion your own with a sauce pan and heat proof bowl.
Heat water in a medium saucepan.
In a heatproof glass bowl (or double boiler) add the coconut oil and shea butter. Place bowl in the saucepan of water.
Melt oils over VERY low heat, stirring to combine.
Add the beeswax to the melted mixture and melt. Stir or whisk mixture until combined.
Let oils cool to room temperature and then add your essential oils.
Whisk well to combine.
Pour the mixture into your storage jar and let solidify.
If you don't like the green hue of this lotion simply replace the hemp oil with another type of oil (olive, sweet almond, jojoba etc).

ROK Stogie from it's small box and was impressed that it had been tightly wrapped in crinkly cellophane- much like your average corona.
Packaging aside, the 4-inch long device itself is very close to your average tobacco cigar in terms of appearance: very realistic tobacco leaf design around the body and even boasts a very authentic-looking label on the neck. Tip lights up blue when you take a draw though, which isn't so realistic, though the rest of it looks great.
Despite my initial concerns, after a couple of puffs I was pretty much married to the Stogie and even let my beloved JAC VGO2 languish uncharged and neglected in favour of this new imposter.
Flavour-wise this electronic cigar is very tasty indeed and very strong (perhaps too strong for some) and has a very reliable draw, though vapour tasted more like a warm creamy classic tobacco than cigar - I guess the dry leathery flavour of real cigars must be a hard one to get exactly right - a very pleasant flavour nonetheless, though.
Unlike every other disposable cigarette I've tried, the ROK Stogie kept on putting out vapour for ages and I managed a full three days of manic puffing before it was time to say farewell and make the peace sign to myself in the mirror for the last time before discarding it forever.
Bags of flavour and stronger than even some variable voltage ecigarettes I've tried. The perfect gift for dads and uncles, the ROK Stogie was a big hit with me and I'll be back for more soon. Go on, make your country proud!

'Cuse wins! 'Cuse wins!
Big day today... Syracuse beat Johns Hopkins to win the NCAA Men's lacrosse championship. Also, we packed up the kids and headed out to Novato to do a little bit of shopping as they are already starting to grow out of the preemie stuff we borrowed from the MPOMC preemie closet. Apparently this growing will continue for a while. Also, we picked up the makings of a heading-to-college care pack for my niece Karrah. We learned that you need to allocate a bit of extra time whenever trying to attempt this sort of trip. This is not because of the extra time to get out of the house as I think we are doing great getting them ready and out the door, but because everybody wants to talk to us. This is somewhat new to Erin & I as we are generally the reserved, get in, get out shopping types. It is definitely not a bad thing, as we met a lady who's twins were heading to UC Santa Barbara in the fall (also the alma mater of Uncle Matt... go gauchos!) as well as a girl who was a twin herself, but will take some getting used to, I think.

I am a rock, I am an island
Today I am here by myself with the kids while mom heads in to the city with cousin Lynn and Nana to visit the farmers' market and see the city a bit. So far so good. They woke up separately for their feeding which was very considerate of them, and then went back down for a nap without too much resistance. The worst part about having two kids and one parent is not being able to go to the bathroom. You have to decide if they will be ok and not start crying too much if you want to go before the feeding because once they start it could be 30 to 60 minutes of sitting until you have your next chance. I am not sure how Erin manages when they feed so much, but so far I have opted for holding out until the feeding is done. I haven't posted in a few days, but they have been full of action. I took the bus in to work on both Tuesday and Thursday, then worked from home on Friday. I was hoping to get caught up, but it seems like that is not going to be possible any time soon. The positive reasons for taking the bus are the following:
Regardless of the process, it was nice to come home to fresh smelling and happily clean babies after work.
Finally, I would like to make a point to new dads that you should make sure to clear the couch of kids (or at least be aware of their presence) before sitting down. This morning I wasn't quite awake yet when and I went to sit on the couch I tried to brush away a pillow as I was sitting only to find out it was a kid sleeping. I don't think I would have actually sat on Matthew as I realized it was a really heavy pillow I was moving, but Erin decided to scream at me as additional insurance. Next time it will be coffee first, sit second. Lesson learned.
- It gets me in to work about 45 minutes before other people generally show up, which gives me some quality time to get stuff done.
- It costs about half of driving across the Golden Gate bridge and then paying for parking and gas. This didn't matter so much when both the wife & I were working in the city and commuting together, but now it seems like saving around $1700 a year in commuting expenses plus the environmental benefits makes a lot of sense. When the kids get a couple months older or so, I plan to try and bike home from work once or more a week. It is about 12 or 13 miles and somewhat hilly, so it should both save $3.50 a trip and get me back in to shape.
- It bookends the day nicely so that I don't go so engrossed in work that I forget to go home (yes, that tends to happen to me, it is both a blessing and a curse to love your job). I generally hop back online and work some more at night, but at least i can get home to see the family and get some quality time in.
- Australian non-stop talking about junk the whole trip both directions guy on the bus. I know every public transportation line has this guy (or girl). Fortunately they can be tuned out with an iPod and a book.
- Lack of flexibility when at work. I can't leave early unless I want to take a $30 (?, not sure of the cost) cab or a $9 ferry home. Plus, if I ever did need to work late (or even go out after work in the city), the last ferry is around 9PM. After that it is cab territory.
- Commute time goes from 20 minutes to 45. Since I am able to surf the 'net or read a book, this is not a big deal, really.

Back to work
As promised in the previous post, here is a picture of the family taking our walk together:
Sadly, though, tomorrow will be my first day back to work. It has been an awesome 2+ weeks with the babies but it is about time I get back to makin some bacon.

No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn...
...where Brooklyn is a euphemism for 'until they turn two', I guess. Last night we got almost no sleep. Apparently the kids are going through some sort of growth spurt which means that instead of sleeping they are awake and crying a lot and feeding even more. I think I got around 4 hours of sleep and the wife maybe half that. I suppose that isn't so bad, since it could have been no hours of sleep, but still much less than I am used to and less than they have been letting us get to this point. I really shouldn't complain since this means that they are super-hungry and growing like they are supposed to, but I really hope that we can work a deal out with them so that when I go back to work next week they let me get just enough to not be a zombie at work. Thursday and Friday they were sleeping enough that I was able to install a new-to-me open source CMS (Umbraco) and set up a website for the Make-A-Wish New Leadership Council in NYC and it was nice to get back into the tech state of mind for a little while. Once we get a live url I will post it. At any rate I hope to be able to balance the demands of the kids (and wife ;)) with those of work. Stay tuned for updates.

Family outing #1
This morning we had our first non-medical related family outing. After having a nice breakfast and getting the kids fed and sleepy we loaded them up in their car seats and dropped into the double snap-n-go. We didn't go too far, just down to the bike path and back, maybe two miles total, but it felt great to get everyone out of the house and moving after pretty much just sitting here for the past couple of weeks. The weather was perfect as it was sunny and warm but with a slight breeze and they slept the whole time. We ran in to a bunch of our neighbors along the way who had already gotten the whole story from either Nana or Grandpa Mike and everybody loved the kids. Nana happened to drive by while we were walking so we got our first family action shot which I'll post as soon as she sends it to us. Overall the trip was a smashing success and will hopefully lead to more and farther outings.

Birth weight, mission accomplished
We went to the pediatrician for the first time since Friday today to get a status on the kids' weight gain as they were previously not gaining weight at the appropriate pace. For the past 5 days we have been supplementing each feeding with a little formula just to make sure that they would be able to gain the recommended ounce a day weight gain. We were also getting them up every 2.5 hours for feedings which meant that Erin hasn't been sleeping much during the night. For some reason she has been kind enough to do most of the night work herself, leaving me the fairly basic task of just rocking them back to sleep each time. As it turns out the pediatrician had apparently told us to get them up every 3.5 hours, not 2.5, but both of us had either been staring at the kid we were holding or just generally spacing out when she said that as neither of us heard it. We probably could have gotten some extra sleep out of that schedule, but our diligence was rewarding by the fact that both of them had not only gained more than the requisite ounce a day, but had actually passed the birth weight threshold. Matty is up to 5 lbs 9 oz and Sarah is 5 lbs 13.5 oz which is fantastic. Not only does this put them back into the 'normal' baby category, it means that we can let them more or less tell us when they need to eat instead of keeping them on a strict schedule.
Ideally we could end up getting a solid 3 - 4 hours of sleep tonight but in reality they seem to both be cluster feeding so it may not be any different than the other nights. That isn't all bad, though, I would rather have them plumping up than happily sleeping away their health. Here is your cute twin pic o' the day titled: Not talking.

Not much to report today. Both kids felt like last night was not an opportune time to sleep and so we had to rock them to sleep after each feeding. Overall, still not too bad since i am off work again this week and they are sleeping well once we get them down. Erin had an OB appt today and everything checked out great with her healing process so we feel good about that. So tired. More later. Here's a relative indicator of how big they've gotten...
For reference, that is Sarah's foot next to a size 1 chuck taylor. It is still amazing to me that they are perfect replicas of a people in such a small package.

Trip to the ER? Check.
Last night was fairly interesting as we had to take Matthew to the ER. Being a first time dad I am trying to be self-aware and not over-react to things as they come up as they are inevitably all new to me. So when Matthew's eye started to leak ooze and swell up exponentially over a couple of hours yesterday, I tried to think logically and do some research on the interwebs to figure out the best course of action. A bunch of minor things came up indicating a blocked tear duct, post-birth reaction to the Erythromycin given at birth, and the like. In addition to the 'not-so-serious' problems were things like viral infection, bacterial infection, and permanent damage to the eye. In the end we called Nana and Poppa Joe over to watch Sarah while we took the little man to the ER. Not exactly what Erin had in mind for her first mother's day. We initially went to the hospital to where he was born, but it turns out that they have no clinic there and would only take him if he needed to be hospitalized. Fortunately they were super nice and sent down a pediatrician to look at him and decided that it was not serious enough to admit him and gave us directions to the other campus. We got to the real ER a few minutes later and again got lucky in that it was a Saturday night and they were not too busy. After 45 minutes or so, they had taken a bunch of cultures for testing and suggested it was probably just conjunctivitis. We got some antibiotics for him and headed home. This morning his eye looks so much better and despite potentially over-reacting I think we made the right move in not waiting for it to get worse before deciding to take action. Happy mothers' day, wife (and Mimi and Nana)!

Weight Update
We all packed up and went to the pediatrician again today. Both kids had gained 1/2 an oz since yesterday, which is better than losing weight, but not up to the normal newborn 1 oz gain a day. I'll give them a pass since they were not even supposed to be here until next thursday. They are still not really able to regulate their body heat too well and get dehydrated easily, so we need to keep them well fed and bundled. The pediatrician recommended that we not leave the house except for doctor appointments until they both regain their birth weight plus a bit.

Tough to be the dad
I'm trying to find out if the following scenario will result in an automatic revocation of my dad license... I put Matthew in to the swing to calm him down after his 2:15 feeding last night because he tends to try and fight off the sleep. he has been enjoying the swing and my arms are really tired right now, so it works out great for both of us. At some indeterminate point later in the evening/morning, my babies' momma came in to get him because he was screaming and the swing had stopped swinging. I somehow managed to sleep through his noise even though my head was on the floor not more than a foot from the swing. Any thoughts?

Welcome to my blog. This is sort of a branch off of the blog my wife and I had during her pregnancy called AllTheToys. I figured since I'm their dad and they are now here in the world, I should have my own blog to describe my experiences with them. I'm doing this for me and them so hopefully once they are old enough I'll have some great stories to share with them. I guess to start I explain they were born on May 1st, which was about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Sarah came out first @ 3:36pm and weighing in at 5lbs 11oz followed by her brother Matthew @ 3:38pm who was 5lbs 5oz. I was in the operating room and opted to see them pulled out from Erin by the doctor and it was the most amazing thing i have ever seen. I would highly recommend it to any dad to be. By the time we left the hospital 4 days later, they had both lost about 10% of their body weight which was within the normal tolerance for getting out. Both seem happy and healthy are what we always dreamed of.

A sweet delicious treat: homemade almond and cacao butter. So easy to prepare…so difficult to make it last and not to eat it all!! Adding cacao and coconut oil makes it even more a dessert!Here you have 2 versions, one with prepared almond butter (I normally use Pin&Nut), and another one where you can do your own homemade almond butter.
The difference between the two versions is that with the second one you use the already prepared the almond butter and you proceed following the method from point 3, with the difference that the process is going to be faster, it will take approximately 5 minutes.
- 125gr almonds + a pinch of pink himalayan salt (or 125 gr already prepared almond butter)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medjool date
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- Roast the almonds in a pan
- Place the almonds in a mixer, mix until they become flour
- Add the coconut oil, mix for about 8 minutes
- Add the date, chopped; mix well
- Add the cacao powder, mix for other 3 minutes
- Mix until completely smooth (the entire process is gonna take about 15 minutes if you prepare your own almond butter, 5 minutes for the quick version)
Why we like it:
- It's a treat that is 100% delicious and 100% healthy!
- Almonds are a source of calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus; cacao powder is a source of iron too
- It's a perfect base ingredient for energy balls
- Be careful with the mixer, it must be powerful. Almonds are really hard and the process takes around 15 minutes, so a small mixer risks to overheat
- The cacao powder uses in this recipe is from the Raw Chocolate Co, fair-trade organic. A good one really makes the difference. The really dark and cheap one you find in supermarkets is less delicate and changes the taste

RBS has been fined a total of £390 million by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the US Department of Justice and the UK Financial Services Authority.
The CFTC imposed a fine of £207 million ($325 million), the DoJ fined the bank £95.5 million ($150 million) and the FSA weighed in with a fine of £87.5 million. As RBS agreed to settle with the FSA at an early stage in the proceedings they benefit from a 30% reduction in the fine, which would otherwise have been £125 million.
The FSA in its release said that the bank's breaches were widespread and had '…encompassed a number of issues, involved a number of employees and occurred over a number of years'.
It went on to say that at least 219 documented requests for inappropriate submissions had been made together with '…an unquantifiable number of oral requests'.
But is anyone going to prison? 21 people, including derivatives and money market traders and at least one manager were involved in this scandal.
And it was found that this rate rigging continued long after traders found out that LIBOR rigging was being investigated.
As Bart Chilton, a CTFC commissioner quoted in the Telegraph said, "They acted as if they were masters of the universe and the rules of fair play just did not apply".
Tracey McDermott, director of enforcement and financial crime, said:
"The integrity of benchmark reference rates such as LIBOR is of fundamental importance to both UK and international financial markets. The findings set out in our notice today demonstrate a failure by RBS to take that wider context into account.
"The failures at RBS were all the more serious because of the attempts not only to influence the submissions of RBS but also of other panel banks and the use of interdealer brokers to do this."
With the PPI and interest rate swap mis-selling sagas on top of this you have to ask yourself where does fraud begin where the large banks are concerned? Or is it just an ATM for those in the know unless you get caught out?
We also know that bankers are generally well ahead of the curve in ways of making money out of money. So one wonders what the masters of the universe are using to line their pockets today and whether we will ever find out all of their little tricks.

After some funny opening movie quotes and trivia ("The razorblades actually make the apples taste better") accompanied by songs from "Weird Al" Yankovic and Jonathan Coulter, the Rifftrax trio (Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett) took the stage and their microphones. They began with two terrible shorts -- "The Dirt-Witch Cleans Up" and "Masks of Grass" -- then jump into the feature. And while Carnival of Souls may not be quite as bad as other movies they've riffed, it still supplies plenty of fodder for comedy: endless organ music, a near-total lack of acting, an over-the-top scuzzy male creep, pale zombies or ghosts, and a lead actress who goes through almost the whole movie with a blank stare.

On two occasions I have had first-hand access to Anthrax. First, at the Clash of the Titans show in Kansas City in 1991, where they played with Megadeth, Slayer, and Alice in Chains. That exposure was slightly toxic, but not fatal. The second exposure was paired with near-lethal levels of Iron Maiden; it took years to recover.
Look, I'm not a conspiracy person by nature, but I also don't believe the historical record, writ large, is 100% accurate. How could it be? I don't believe most of those mysteries are the result of a master plot so much as creative clean-up or CYA actions once a bad situation comes up.
Which leads us to Bruce Ivins. I'm not going to suggest that Ivins wasn't the guy; I'm obviously not privy to the information. But even if you accept, with 100% certainty, that Ivins was the guy, it still leaves plenty of questions.

In the old days, when hunting was allowed, we used to go for ducks. When they flew overhead and were shot they would keep flying, then suddenly stop midflight, realise they had been shot and fall plop into the water. The Congress party reminds one of that sudden fall. Dead in the water.
These elections last week prove that the tactic of being anti-BJP has failed dramatically. As has the general conduct of this party. It is seen by the public as destructive, immature, in disarray and without much purpose. More a hindrance than a help. It is seen as a bully, a spoilsport and a party not worthy of attention, despite Rahul Gandhi's frenzied tours of poverty-stricken areas, in what was becoming a travesty of concern. Like enough already.
So, a moribund Congress should have seen a resurgence in the BJP. Besides Assam, where the influx of Bangladeshis swung the vote to a fair extent and swept the Congress away, there isn't much to cheer about.
On the contrary, the writing on the wall is a grim indicator that the honeymoon is long over. The Modi magic isn't putting the rabbit back in the hat and no amount of abracadabra will change that fact.
The disenchantment dripping from the high hopes of 2014 is reflected even in the statistical game one can play of showing that out of 822 seats contested, the comatose Congress took 115 as compared to the BJP which took 64.
Amit Shah said the BJP did extremely well in Kerala. One seat.
Repeated its performance in Tamil Nadu. No seat.
Puducherry. Zero.
West Bengal. Three.
So on what fact is this excitement predicated?
The positive spin from all this could be that the states need not replicate the Centre and can carry on with their provincial love affairs. So, come the next general election, the BJP will have its ducks in order and romp home against a Congress that isn't likely to script an act of any great worthiness. And there is no real third party opposition that has the presence or the dimension to go nationwide.
Which perhaps could be the priority for the BJP's think tank if they want to retain power. Stick to strengthening yourself at the Centre, keep a national approach and do not fritter away your energies in state elections, where your defeats sting you like wasps and compromise your status as the party in power in the union government. The more the Modi-led government concentrates on matters which impact on all the people and legislates towards it, the better it is for the country and the party credibility.
Not that they will listen. The desire to spread the power base is overwhelming and a victory like the one in Assam will provide a misconceived arrogance, without much thought going into it. In fact it could be a curse because not a day later, the BJP is already talking about next year's civic polls in Mumbai. Now, isn't that a giveaway of the mindset?
The more the BJP ignores the national mandates and 'faffs' around the states and cities, the better the chances of the Congress dead duck reviving itself and swimming back to shore.

It's at times like this I wish I were still writing anonymously. I've just got sooooooo much to say but I don't know where to start....
So I'm sat here, at 3.08am (it's 5:12 am now actually), laptop on my lap and writing with no clear direction- I just want to get my thoughts out, whatever they may be- I am hoping I will get clarity as I write....
I feel like a lot of things are suspended at the moment for me. I know that a lot of the things that I hope to fall into place should do that AFTER I have achieved a major goal I have been chasing. This major goal I have been chasing is the reason I have to step back occasionally to take a breather, study, work on my skills...., and yet, it still is so fleeting..... I come close and, it flits right away, before my very eyes, like a butterfly.....
Worse is the fact that I KNOW that I am not quite there yet, with my skills, to actually achieve this goal but, for some reason, I get mental laziness, preferring to work on skills that interest my creative side and not my technical side. Oh well. I had a disappointment day before yesterday...... again. I had come so close, but I knew I wasn't ready so I wasn't surprised when it flitted away. The opportunity truly didn't want to go away and gave me a second chance before it realised that, it was what it was: I was not ready, it was not to be. Like a burden lifted off of my shoulders, I received the news of the butterfly now gone, because, had it stayed with me, would I not disappoint the people offering it? Would they feel let down if they discovered that, indeed, it was as they had initially feared, I was unable to adequately take care of it? And yet, I was not a little deflated at the opportunity missed.
Anyway, I have decided to work on getting my skills polished and up-to-date and, whilst at all this, staying consistent. I feel like I lost hold of the plot for a second there; almost forgot what I was about, why I was here. I am here to write, to relate with my readers. I have discovered that once I have someone to talk to, to unburden myself to- apart from my SO that is- I automatically go silent on my blog, because this is where I'd normally unburden myself, in different ways. I began blogging essentially because I wanted to get the thoughts in my head and heart out- because I didn't have anyone to tell them to. So it follows that once these thoughts are being expressed one way or the other, either to a friend or acquaintance, it would then seem pointless to me to "duplicate" them here as I might have already gone through the process of analysing them and probably reaching a resolution/conclusion/etc. It will not be happening again. Not because I do not appreciate communicating with real people but because, so far, it has not been worth it one bit (to share and be so open to someone) and so I'd say I know better and would just carry on as I always have.
There have also been a lot of exciting developments in my life but I will talk you through them with time, some of them do need to be under wraps to incubate properly. It's been a lose some, gain some affair but I am grateful. I am thankful. I am hopeful. Believing that all things are working together for my good. Indeed, I am hopeful.
Have a beautiful month of July, my friends, forgive me for being late in wishing you this.
Love Always,

These sessions are designed for those who want to address an injury or improve core strength, spinal stability, posture, flexibility and muscle tone. In order to do everyday tasks it is important to have a strong centre, your core muscles are like your body's foundations. If they are weak then your body will find it more difficult and inefficient to do thing like lifting, walking, running and playing sport. You may become more susceptible to injury. Core muscles are essential in all sporting activities and having a strong base on which you move can improve your performance in all activities.
Classes are graded into mixed ability (which is suitable for all beginners), intermediate, and advanced.
The mixed ability class is suitable for those who are new to Pilates or have ongoing clinical need. The advantage with Pilates By Physio is the extra knowledge we bring to the classes regarding musculoskeletal problems such as knee, shoulder, back and neck pain. Some clients stay in this class to keep on top of any aches and pains, other prefer to move through the difficulty levels and move onto the intermediate and advanced classes. Safety is the key and the instructors will guide you as to when you are safe to move to the intermediate class. As the class numbers never exceed 12 clients, there is still lots of scope to tailor the exercises to suit each individuals ability. A lot of the classes have been running for several years now so there may only be a few beginners starting in each new block. This means beginners will get the individual attention required to learn the new skills without ever being singled out.
Intermediate class is for those who have gained the appropriate level of strength and control in the beginners and wish to be challenged further. If you have attended Pilates before and would like to join the intermediate class, please contact us to discuss what your ability is. This class is ideal for people who are interested in sporting activity and are trying to avoid injury and improve performance with a stronger core.
The advance class builds on the strength and skills learnt in the other class but incorporates much more challenging exercises.
The classes are booked in six weeks block. You will be given some information prior to starting the class which explains the principle behind Pilates and how to find and activate the correct muscles. This will give you a head start in your first class and help you understand more about Pilates. An assessment form is required from everyone before your first class and can be requested via email. If you have any queries regarding your eligibility for any of the classes please contact us.

Many Trustees See Faculty as Barrier to Change
College and university trustees widely agree that the public's perception of higher education has been eroding and that higher education's business model needs to change -- but many see significant barriers to putting changes in place.
More than half of trustees, 57 percent, agreed that the general public perception of higher education in the United States has declined in the last decade, according to a survey conducted for the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges and released today. Forty-one percent of respondents agreed with the statements. Another 16 percent agreed strongly.
Nearly all respondents, 92 percent, said college and university business models need to change. More than half, 58 percent, called for moderate changes, and 34 percent said the business model should change drastically. Many trustees, 57 percent, said most colleges are able to change their business models. But only 38 percent said most colleges are willing to change.
Asked about the biggest barrier to changing higher education's business model, 28 percent of respondents pointed to a lack of support from faculty members. The lack of faculty support was by far the most popular answer, followed by a lack of confidence among institutional leaders in making changes, cited by 19 percent of trustees, and a lack of consensus among leaders, cited by 16 percent.
The survey also asked trustees about their top three concerns for higher education's future. More than two-thirds, 68 percent, pointed to the price of higher education for students and families. Other top concerns included student debt, named by 41 percent of trustees; the ability of higher education to respond to changing student and employer needs, named by 33 percent; and higher education institutions' business model, named by 33 percent.
Just 22 percent of trustees said preparing graduates for the work force is the most important role higher education fills. A large majority agreed with the statement that liberal arts education should be included in all undergraduate programs -- 56 percent strongly agreed, and 29 percent agreed. Yet nearly all trustees, 92 percent, said the general public does not understand the notion of a liberal arts education very well.
AGB is in the middle of an effort to involve college and university trustees in public discussion about the value proposition of higher education. Where public policy is concerned, at least, there may be work to be done. Only 23 percent of surveyed trustees said they had personally contacted a member of Congress about a higher ed policy issue in the last year.
The new polling is the first in a set of three surveys AGB plans in order to gauge trustee perspectives. It includes responses from about 1,400 AGB members who participated in online surveys between March 20 and April 18.
"The story that they share in their responses is both candid and straightforward, but also, in some respects, it's somewhat sobering," said Rick Legon, AGB president, during a conference call to discuss the findings.

Later in the evening I received a message from her saying: 'Your brother is accusing me of having a Valentine's Day dinner with you -- in his presence -- and that we are sleeping together'."Makhubela said police have opened the cases of murder, one of attempted murder and another of arson.Police were waiting for the man to recover before arresting him.

Beckenbauer admits 'mistake,' says no vote buying
Beckenbauer admits 'mistake,' says no vote buying
Franz Beckenbauer said yesterday it was his mistake to make a payment to FIFA in return for a financial grant to Germany's 2006 World Cup organising committee.
In a brief statement published by German media late yesterday, Beckenbauer gave little details about the case that has shaken German football.
Beckenbauer, president of the 2006 World Cup organising committee, reiterated his denial from last week that there was vote buying before Germany won the bid to stage the World Cup.
"In order to obtain a financial grant from FIFA, a proposal was accepted from FIFA's financial commission that in hindsight should have been rejected by those involved," Beckenbauer said.
"For this mistake, I bear responsibility as the president of the then organising committee," he said.
Beckenbauer made no mention of the FIFA's now suspended president Sepp Blatter. German football federation president Wolfgang Niersbach said last week that the financial deal was made by Beckenbauer and Blatter in a private meeting in January 2002.
Blatter had denied any knowledge of the case and FIFA also has disputed Niersbach's account.
Niersbach said the organising committee had obtained a grant of 250 million Swiss francs (about 230 million euros at current rates) from FIFA, in return to payment of what now amounts to EU6.7 million ($7.38 million).
The money was loaned by the now late French businessman Robert Louis-Dreyfus and was repaid by the German federation in 2005.
The entire transaction and its dubious circumstances have come under close scrutiny and heavy criticism in Germany and led to the calls for the resignation of Niersbach, although he has received support from the federation board.
Beckenbauer said he was questioned by a law firm hired by DFB to investigate the affair and repeated that there was no vote buying ahead of the 2000 vote on the host of the 2006 World Cup.
Spiegel said the 6.7 million euros had been in a slush fund used to secure the votes of four Asian members of FIFA's executive committee.
"There were no votes bought to win the bid for the 2006 World Cup," Beckenbauer said.

About Haiku Poems
Here you will find haiku poems about haiku poems:
Five syllables first
The second line has seven
And then five again
The form is ancient
Respected, it constrains thought
To fine expressions.
Limiting Beauty
Within its constraints - Freedom
Rising, thou rises
The unseen world hinting at
Ineffable thought
The play on words set
In places, pauses, passes
Hidden from full view
Exposed to probing
Passions overturn the mind
The rhythm excites
Tender violence
Refreshment like a strong breeze
Blows our the cobwebs.
To hunt the cute hour
Drives on the skilful hunter
His mettle to match
Tracking and trapping
The lure is placed, traps are set
Any fool can kill
Still centre watching
The mind reviews the options
Focused and alert
If it were easy
Accomplished by inept fools
We'd all be hunters
Prey caught thrashes round
Advertising his cruel fate
Better to lie still
Everything I need
to know about haiku
I learnt from Burma Shave
if you write haiku
is not nature the focus
some say it must be

A People's History of Ancient Egypt
Warm-Up: Afterlife Instruction Manual Project I'd like to begin today by giving you 10-15 minutes to work on your Afterlife Instruction Manual. This will be your last opportunity this week to work on this project in class. Don't forget that this project will be due this Friday, November 7.
How Ancient Egyptians Lived With our overwhelming focus on the Egyptian pharaohs, their power and responsibilities, their individual personalities, their grand building projects, and their singular quest for immortality, we unfortunately tend to forget about the lives of the everyday people that made up this civilization. We shouldn't do that and we won't do that. As interesting as the life of Ramses II was, so too were the lives of the people that stood under him in Egypt's social class structure.
And don't forget, without the labor of the working men and women of ancient Egypt, the pharaoh's power and authority would crumble. Today let's focus on some of their lives.
Let's begin by reading an excerpt from your textbook below, which examines what life was like for some ordinary Egyptians.
Think critically. Do you think the description above was representative of the lives of all "ordinary" Egyptians? Do you think all Egyptians were privilege to "festivals and banquets" and "wore eye paint and wigs"? Whose story is being left out? Are we receiving a comprehensive portrait of life in ancient Egypt or just a slice? What responsibility does our textbook have to truthfully tell the story of the lives of all members of Egyptian society?
Comparing the Life of an Egyptian Nobleman with the Life of an Egyptian Farmer Noticeably absent from the textbook's description of the lives of ordinary Egyptians is a representation of the lives of Egyptian farmers, whose labor the entirety of Egyptian society was built upon. Without the work of farmers, there is not ancient Egypt
Let's try to remedy that by taking a look at what the lives of Egyptian farmers may have been like and how their lives compare to those members of the wealthier classes. Explore the British Museum's take on life in ancient Egypt here, and then read side-by-side story here, which compares the life of wealthy ancient Egyptian nobleman's family with that of a farming family.
Homework Complete your Afterlife Instruction Manual. This project is due on Friday, November 7.
