The Chapel
Marilene Phipps
"God then, has to be absent in order to
be endlessly present, in our missing
Good Bye to you Whom I Love
I am a chapel. A simple white pentagon of roughcast cement blocks aired through two wooden doors and cedar shutters. The past haunts and decorates me. The present crosses me from one door to the other like someone running after a second chance. The future takes its cues from the sky. Over the mountain ridge in the near distance, clouds emerge, together with mist and light, in patterns reminiscent of smoke messages the likes of which one might fantasize were sent by Caribs, first inhabitants of our Haiti. When the evening comes, God's face then is a nightfull of stars that lay to rest on the nearby tadpole water.
It rained a short while ago. A loud tropical downpour the way I love them. Sometimes, I hear its gallop first, coming down the mountain. Then, progressively, rain is like drapes being pulled from tree to tree. Behind its stage curtain, nature rehearses this stock piece: the earth's cells become engorged with water; holes darken; great succulent plants bow their wide-leafed heads to camouflage and store deep green belly laughs; mahogany trees bend long blackened necks; drums are at my doors; cymbals percolate on my rooftop.
Rain stops as suddenly as it starts. Maestro made a final gesture. But silence rumbles still. The stream running below the garden terraces has swollen immensely. Water spirits who inhabit me want to be revered and their hopeful sighs ripple through my blood. My ears are attuned to every life murmur in this great park where the one who built me only planted fruit-bearing trees, besides mahogany. Everything breathes in a heavy, moist smell of moss musk. It is the time when dizzied breadfruits will let go of the branch and the thud on my roof vibrates inside me like an ill bee.
It is then too that roosters feel they must announce the end of rain. Here, they'll kick up a din for any occasion. It is much too joyful a feeling this throatfull of shrill to be let out just for the once-a-day-at-dawn affair. Afterwards, dogs think they must respond with a throatfull of bark. And so it goes on with no respite, this back and forth banter, because here, island territory, it would seem that roosters don't sleep at night, though they perch. Dogs neither sleep nor perch. They are tied down somewhere in the nearby slums whose gray fossils' framework hangs amidst bushes at the foot of the mountain. It is as if everything is held, somehow, at the foot of something greater, be it dogs, slums, people or me. I lie at the foot of the one I love.
Late afternoon is the time when she comes to visit. The time when woodpeckers return their russet heads to the home-holes stacked up in a straight line they dig for themselves into palm tree trunks. And while parrots are having their nonsense riot in high branches, the same woodpeckers will then peek out of their holes, fly out to some close by tree, and cackle breathlessly. Up and down and around the Cayimitte tree, lizards have a game of tag which they stop now and then only to swell their throats as if to gloat over their feats of gravity. They scatter their free-running fun in defiant contrast to heavy-loaded and humorless ants working in two opposite streams of industrious lines. Vingt-quatre-heures—black-bodied, red-winged, bee-size flying devils whose sting children believe will kill you in twenty-four hours—like to buzz over the carpet of dry leaves where iguanas prowl. And, hidden beneath the purple underside of malangas whose large, heart-shaped leaves proliferate around the vanilla scented spring, I know there is a rat.
You can tell—I love this place! Specially, when she comes to visit the garden, she whom I love as if she were part of me, daughter of the man who built me here. She sits on the garden steps and lets her eyes float into me—God my heart, God my horizon, God much too vast for one to capture between two hands in a dream and so one looks for a being of flesh whom to tell words of love. The same words she used to tell him when he lived here—"You are my chapel".
He was a foreigner, almost an old man already, an astrologer whom many people came to consult but that no one befriended.
"Haiti" he told her, "is the mystical island. It is my destiny."
His solitude preoccupied no one because he seemed so full of what everyone thought they lacked—knowledge about the direction and meaning of life. How could he feel alone if planets surround his heart and families of the sky uphold him? Yet I know that sometimes, just the open door was a painful sight to him—like a ready welcome to no one, a reminder of his aloneness in a house peopled by the thin-air bodies of invisible beings that spoke to him but never touched him.
He had wanted to find the magic place where perhaps God himself would be awaiting him, and also a place where the beauty of the garden is not marred by memories unclear, undesired, unkind. Yet, the unspoiled clarity of the landscape he had wished for actually carried more emptiness than he could bear. He discovered instead how alone he stood in the distance that separated him from the God he had hoped to find.
So, when open doors and windows showed him the desolate vastness of this new world rather than his place in it, he would withdraw to the vastness in him that is filled with familiar feelings and the display of memory's trompes l'oeils. At those times when he would shut all doors and windows, lock himself in with incense and the music of his birth place, it would seem to neighbors that these gestures were meant to keep the world out when actually it was to forget how outside the world he felt and was.
After he died, she came to live here—in me—as well, only for a short while until her life took her far away from us, far away from our story. People had thought it macabre that she'd want to come and live here, in the place where he had died. But instead, she saw me as the place where he had lived.
"There can be no better place to live than the chapel—the place most suited to remember him, an emblematic site," she said to friends.
On her second day here, she opened wide the door of the large cage where he had kept mourning doves. They hesitated a long while before taking this chance to fly away. She let them go less out of noble feelings about freedom than out of the desire to be relieved of their mournful cries.
Her father brought her four parrots to replace the doves—he did not see the joy of an empty cage. The parrots' early dawn cackle and shrieks jolted her out of bed and she grew to both need and resent their lively spirit.
She eventually realized that he was no longer here to be found either and that all that lingered here from him were just dream traces—her own. In the course of many months, she kept company with those traces and used them to imagine herself back to a kind of inner quiet and reconstruct the sense of her own being as reason enough to live. The air was no longer a carrier for incense as it had been. It was allowed to be tainted only by the heavy fragrances and subtle changes of tropical seasons. The sudden yellow outbreak of butterflies at the time of the yearly feast of Saint John became a season in itself—when the butterflies died out, she left.
Words from the apocalypse I often heard him read out loud came back to me.
"The light of the lamp will no longer shine in your house, and the voices of the husband and of the wife will no longer be heard there".
The first morning after he had died and his body been taken away, she laid face down on the cold mosaic floor with arms open like a penitent. She did not cry, she screamed. She felt as if the damnation, curse, and abandonment of the whole human race weighed on her soul ("But the earth came to rescue the woman, it opened its mouth"). Yet, discomfort from the hard floor eventually forced her to get up and shift away from her despair. Giving in to the body can be a saving kind of humility.
Since she has left, the garden has come to a different rhythm, paced by the careful cadence of worm seeking hens and their yellow chicks, the brisk outburst of Mahogany nuts and tchatcha seeds, the crack of lightning, the dim thump to the ground of ripened mangoes hollowed by birds and rats. And the rain.
But for me, it is as if I live solely in her thoughts—no one else since has gone through my doors nor opened the cedar shutters. In her heart she carries my image, indivisible from memories of him. Because she does not forget, she is the country where I live, the lungs that lend me breath, the island that defines my shores. Lodged in her, I transform as she transforms, I know all that she knows as she knows it. Her lamp, if she lights it, will be mine.
We are again quite alone when she is back to visit the garden. She sits here—I sit in her. At those times when she remembers him most vividly, his favorite quotes from the Bible, like parentheses in a book of dreams, present themselves in my head with a peculiar resonance ("Listen, I have chosen you. Carry out the prayer so you remember me"). When she remembers him, she first sees images of him that she imagines—what she did not actually see when he lived, seems clearer in her mind, truer to who he was, more real than what he presented to her as himself, even though he loved her.
So she sees him put on all white clothes ("...and to him, was given fine linen to wear, shining, and pure; because fine linen stands for the just work of Saints."), and then she sees him take a knife, the sharpest—he intends to kill the sheep with one sweep—because the animal must not suffer. Pain hardens the heart and spoils the meat. To most who met him, he seemed a brusque, private man. From his life, he had always kept something like the feeling of stone on bare back ("Those who wear white robes are those who come from great troubles."). He came to believe his heart had been lost as well, until she appeared at his door for a reading of the future.
When he first met her, he was unprepared for what he said to be "just a broken bird, dear God!"
But she sees him in dismembered ways, so the prayer is important—it carries him back to her in a meaningful sequence. She sits on the steps. The mountain is ahead of her with clouds lighting old smoke signals she read as a child, sitting on the same steps.
She never forgets the mountain because the signals from childhood weigh inside her. At times, she feels like she is an offering that awaits the knife. Times when there is so much to give and no one in front of whom to stretch it all. So she wonders if the inner sense of waste in her is from the blood that has already emptied from the flesh. Perhaps this is the reason why the sequence of her remembering starts with an offering ("I have placed in front of you an open door that no one can shut")—after he has killed the sheep, she sees him rinse the blood from the knife under the tap outside my western door. By then, the charcoal has reddened. While the meat cooks, he lowers all the shutters, closes both doors, locks himself in, puts music on—chants and drums he liked to record during Vodou ceremonies he attended throughout the countryside. She knows he danced, forgetting the meat over the charcoal, until he was as dizzy and sodden as the rain-soaked breadfruits that drop on my roof.
"Spirits wanted some" he'd say, and, smiling to himself, scatter the burnt pieces around the garden.
After he had done the first astrological reading for her, she had asked him for his own date of birth. On that date, she came to see him with a cake.
"No one has ever brought me a birthday cake," he said as he took it, and forgot to offer her a slice.
She would have only liked to sing for him. She mumbled her birthday wishes and left. He used to say about himself that the solitude of the astrologer is in the image of John the Baptist's, sent ahead of us to level the way for God—"he is the voice of the one who cries in the desert".
Now that he is gone, she feels his voice in her own.
"Your territory is that of an arid mountain," he had said to her. "Free yourself from all that is superfluous." ("... The two wings of the big eagle were given to the woman so she could fly to the desert, to her own place where she is fed for a while.").
He showed her how to pray—he knelt to the ground and raised his arms open:
"Oh my people! Enter the holy land for which God destined you!"
She came back to see him for prayer at regular times, smelling of fresh soap. Soon however, too soon, she found she was praying for him rather than with him. She knelt on the rug he'd woven for her. He had dyed the wool himself, with leaves and bark gathered from this land where she was born, daughter of the man who built me so that I could give her shelter and a home. To her first visits, she came with the complaint that her "life lacks horizon".
"The fruits your soul desired went far from you," he quoted to her, by way of welcome—he knew that by giving a larger spiritual frame to her visit, he would ease her timidity.
She grew accustomed to his speaking in quotes. Doing so was his way of showing that every human act decided on, each experience undergone, is understood through every holy book of every age and culture as being more meaningful, having broader scope, than it appears at first glance. It was his way of telling how these seemingly banal human acts are in fact connected to a larger design of significant, repeated patterns, a kind of unconscious undercurrent that, unawares, leads us to the understanding of the very reason for our existence and of what happens to us in it. She always felt new breath after he had "opened the sky for her" as he would say. She did not see how, nor when, she grew to love him, because it seemed the love was always there.
To explain himself, he once told her that "the one who emigrates onto God's ways, will, on earth, find numerous possibilities and spaces." She knew that, in the ways of the prophets he tried to emulate, in his youth he had left his birth place and the religion in which his parents raised him ("Do no harm to the earth, to the sea, nor to the trees, until we have marked the foreheads of God's servants.").
"In my youth," he said, "I dreamt that one day I would manage to kill all base instincts so that in a new serene climate, the migrating people of my soul may visit the great temples and climb onto celestial territories."
Yet, it is here, on her land, in her garden, that she found him, in his old age, in me, the chapel. She was too young to understand that she was young. She was young enough not to see that she was too young, yet old enough to know it did not matter.
The chapel came to house illness. He was to give his last breath in her presence. The lungs were ill. Breathing became dark and strenuous. The sky had shifted. The chapel was drifting. He refused to see any doctor, nor receive any care.
"I want to die all in one piece."
Once he had become ill, she came here each morning and left early evening. On what turned out to be the last night of his life she had somehow refused to leave in spite of his insistence that she should.
Rising! Floods! Deluge! He sees he is Noah who appears on the arch's deck and water covers the earth. Noah has broken all moorings with this world of illusions and sails on uncertain currents, but trusting in God's will. Separated by a curtain, he laid in bed as she sat on a mattress stretched over the bare floor ("Let us watch over one another so love gets stirred"). He had pulled the curtain himself—he was always a man of great modesty. Waiting for death, struggling for breath and battling with fear, he felt more naked than ever before. When she, unawares, was dozing off in the early hours of dawn, it was not Noah she heard, but him, whispering in what she now knows was his last breath.
"God, make me land in a blessed place; in truth, it is you the sweetest of places."
To allow the sequence of remembrance its own design, she tries to stand pure and free of all images or forms—the way she thinks God wishes us to be. They had known each other for only a short while, yet enough to last for what she imagined eternity could be ("He will live with them...He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and death will no longer exist; there will no longer be mourning, nor cries, nor pain."). To remember him is to let his voice come, hear it when he sat at his work table and closed his eyes before speaking, as if truly he was addressing someone absent ("His face was like the sun when it shines in full strength."). She wondered if this was a kind of death—the way he erased himself, serving as a mirror to reflect the stars' will, in the hope of easing the anxiety for the future which had come to his door step in the heart of a stranger.
To remember him is to smell incense—myrrh and amber! It is to see him walking with sandals along the garden's terraces, gather leaves and tree bark he'll use to color wool. Later, when he pulls out the wool from large cooking pots full of boiling water, he'll marvel and delight in the subtle hues that came out.
"Die before you die," he said—an advice for her to remember.
And the image that now comes up in the sequence is that of his naked body pulled out of a drawer at the morgue.
"I do not want to go to the morgue. This kind of place is impure. Bury me straight away. Right in the earth. Plant a tree," he had asked.
Before she understood either how it happened or that she could not have prevented it, he did end up at the morgue. And there also, she followed him to prepare his body for burial ("The body washed with water that is pure"). But when she stood in front of his nude corpse, she remembered his modesty. It was just the day before, that in the silence of the early morning, she had pulled open the white curtains behind which he had hidden his dying and saw what she was unprepared for. She saw he was dead ("The Lord is close to those whose hearts are breaking"). She realized she had not understood what had been happening all these past few days. Her lagging awareness had kept her in a time far behind the reality and time in which he lived during his dying. Time had already separated them long before he died. If time is ahead, one could believe it possible to run after it and catch up. But 'space', you can't run after. Seeing him dead she gasped at the sense of the gap, the void, the immensity that now would keep them ever separate and unattainable to each other. Could she catch up on that space, she thought, if she learned to "die before she dies"?
How not to fear death when one must endure the way people behave towards it and handle the remains? She rented space in a private grave at the Port-au-Prince cemetery. Death as a farce with painted puppets has to stage its development in immured cells. Mortification and trial until "Lazarus! Rise! Come out of your grave!" When a year had passed, she went to get him out of the cemetery. Reclaim him.
The dilapidated and weed-choked downtown Port-au-Prince's cemetery is given over to goats and homeless mendicants. The guardian at the gate let her drive in without so much a glance—one cannot watch over the dead, they watch us. The living cannot arbitrate what goes on in these dwellings. The Dead alone can govern there and let happen what must. So please, go ahead! Go face them; they know your heart ("Here, I come, oh God, to accomplish your will.").
Sitting on top of a grave in the otherwise deserted cemetery she found an idle adolescent boy who needed a little money. So, to remember him, early dawn, with pickax and shovel, they opened the grave, pulled out the coffin, lifted the lid, carried him out.
She holds it in her hands—a little bit of paper, folded for so long it is breaking at the creases. Just a note, one among the many he had sent her—words scribbled in haste with a pencil though he had mulled over them a long time beforehand. From the steps where she sits, dazed by memories, she unfolds the note and reads it aloud:
"What is there to fear when you are my companion, and, while in absence, you remain my confidante?"
His retrieved body was to stay in me—the chapel—for three days, and wrapped in the same white cloth in which he had been laid in his coffin. Deposed such on the bed, he seemed reduced to a small unnecessary bundle. The only substance, the only weight left was the love (Zachary had cried: "Shout for joy, daughter of Zion, because here, I have come, I will live with you.").
She succeeded in finding a new burial place for him in the high mountains of Seguin, on land owned by a friend who agreed to let her dig a grave.
"I know he will like it there," she said to me, "to walk among pine trees, no longer feeling hot and ill as he was here. At dawn, there is a soft fog more like mist! Dew covers the grass and his sandals will get damp."
With his music playing through the loudspeakers, how he must have danced! Free, swirling loose, and drifting like incense through the cedar shutters—the day she set off to the mountain's resting place with his remains.
Much later, after she had buried him this second time, she heard that people in Seguin say they sometimes see a ghost in the early morning mist.
"It is like an aurora," they try to describe, "the light of his being is profiled on celestial light—it is light on light." ("My angel will walk ahead of you. Watch him because he bears my name.").
The sequence is running short and, still sitting on the steps, she closes her eyes to bring him back some more. Loving him has taught her the preciousness of bundles that weigh in the mind—unwrap them carefully lest the content spill fast like dust. Yet unwrap them knowing what's inside flows like water and must not be held on to. And like Moses' mother about to abandon him to the Nile, she will hear God's words:
"Don't be afraid. Let him fall. Because I have let my love fall on you and on him."

"…This is a voice that could make men do anything – and regret it.
And Moura knows how to deliver. She does a sexy sashay across the stage while singing in the voice of a wounded innocent, an irresistible combination. Even in upbeat songs she seems to bare her heart and soul, establishing an immediate and visceral connection to her audience, then drawing them deeper into the music by inviting them to clap along. In its purest form, fado is a participatory experience, with listeners expected to react noisily. Moura takes that to a whole new level, captivating a large audience with open arms and a beguiling combination of sophistication and vulnerability…
The audience was on its feet by the time Moura waltzed off the stage, blowing kisses and waving goodbye like everyone in the audience was her personal friend. If there were any hearts still not won over, she captured them by coming back for an encore that opened with an incredibly soulful "Good night, Cleveland…thank you, Cleveland." Even in a town where a million singers have closed shows with those lines, it was a stirring, heartfelt moment."
Beyond standard vocal exercises before she hits the stage, Moura gathers with her musicians five minutes before show time "to feel how they are. This music — how can I say it? — is not programmed. You go from the feel of the moment and it's very important for me to feel how the musicians are, to give time to each other…"

Valentine's Day candy might be relegated to the clearance rack at Safeway, but feelings of love, loss, and yearning endure. Those themes will take center stage when Portuguese fado singer Ana Moura performs as part of the UW World Series' World Music & Theatre Series early next month…
Witt, during her discussion, will give an overview of Portuguese fado, a mournful style of music that began in the early 1800s. The genre was born when poor and disenfranchised communities in Portugal gathered to express their despair – not unlike the blues in America. "It's an incredibly soulful form of vocal expression," Witt said…"

- Shortlisting based on Common Admission Test (CAT, CMAT or any other entrance exam accepted by DTE)
- Group Discussion
- Personal Interview
However, for final selection even score of 10th, 12th and work experience is taken into account though the weightage given is quite low as compared to few IIMs.
JBIMS accepts CMAT score of September of the preceding year or February of the same year, or best of the two. For example: Admission for 2014-16 Batch will take into account CMAT September 2013 score as well as CMAT February 2014 score.
Here goes the break up assuming you apply through CMAT in JBIMS:
From above distribution, we may see that if one has scored high in CMAT, then even if 10th, 12th, work experience and performance in GDPI is not at par, one still has very strong chance of converting JBIMS call.

Is This a Hashref Which I See Before Me? (no, wait, it's an arrayref ...)
I seem to always like the articles of Buddy Burden, even when he writes about a questionable feature of Perl. In recent versions of perl you don't always need to manually de-reference references to hashes and arrays that can either make your code cleaner (no @{ } or %{ } around some snippets) but it might be ambiguous. It is certainly good to be aware of these features and decide if you will accept, encourage or ban their use in your code-base.

First p2 milestone passed: parse 50% of perl5
The p2 (also known as Perl 5+6=11) project of Reini Urban is trying to create a bridge between Perl 5 and Perl 6. Compiling Perl 5 code to run on the Perl 6 run-time.
In which Rob Hoelz explains what is the difference between undef $x; and $x = undef; and how perl handles hashes internally.
What's a Trie, and Why Should You Care?
While probably you won't get a lot of daily usage out of this module it is certainly fascinating how Timm Murray from the Wumpus Cave explains the problems with associative arrays, (also known as hashes) and how Tree::Trie could solve all the problems. If we actually noticed that there are problems.
DnD and programming in the same article by RJBS.
Apparently playing games can make you smarter! There is research proving this, and now there are games you can play free of charge. And the nice thing is that they were built using Perl.
Previewing POD before shipping
Especially interesting for CPAN authors who would like to read their POD in a web browser, before they upload the module to PAUSE. David Golden create a short script that would turn POD into HTML and then open your default browser to that file. Even if you don't need this service, the script is a nice example of using Path::Tiny, Pod::Simple::XHTML, and Browser::Open.
Iterating over all dists on CPAN
If you want to research CPAN, you'll soon need to go over all the distributions available there. Neil Bowers has been working on the tool to show the CPAN modules that are good candidates for adoption. Now he shows us how he iterate over all the CPAN distributions using PAUSE::Packages.

Say hello to the handbuilt joys of the RSP200 frameset. Compact dropped top tube, wishbone
seatstays, downtube gusset, cut-out dropouts, square-section chainstays and a big webbed chainstay bridge section. A few years ago this was all exotica, and even now it smacks more of goateed Yanks in sheds than the mutton-chopped craftsmen of Raleigh. The replaceable mech hanger and forward-facing seatclamp slot complete the picture, and the handling is every bit as tight as the build.
Ride character is dominated by the huge high-rise 27in bars and 90mm 25 per cent stem throwing rider weight back on to the rear wheel. With sharp, short-stem steering and ape hanger bars it's just begging to be slung as low as you dare through tight singletrack or raaarped through technical stuff with front wheel lofted high. There's a lot of rider movement to keep weight nailed over the appropriate wheel, but that's all part of the experience. Rides on the Raleigh tended to be brutal, flat-out rampages. Even when we just meant to go to the shops.
The wheelset is basic, reliable kit that stood up fine to the abuse we gave it, and the Velociraptors are classic technical treads, nailing traction in most conditions and with airspace enough to cut trail chatter and fend off pinch flats.
Gripshift is becoming a rare spec choice after its heyday a few years back, and, to be honest, we weren't impressed. The chain broke 20 minutes into the first ride and refused to settle thereafter, skipping under changes and eventually being responsible for a wonderful scar up the Test Ed's calf after a chain-skip/pedal-slip/chainring-slice moment. The brakes were fine though, if nothing startling, and the
plastic ESP levers are far more durable than you'd think.
The chainset looks sweet but shifts noticeably slower than Shimano. Clipless pedals are great at this price point. Considering all the names they've given it, the saddle was remarkably ordinary, but the WTB grips are family favourites that keep hands in place even in the wet.

Decatur – Fire investigators are looking for the person who they say started five fires over the past month, the most recent of which happened early Wednesday morning.
Firefighters were called to an empty home at 1865 North Maple Street after one this morning. Firefighters tell WAND this is the fifth time they have put out a fire at this home, and the eighth time they have been called to the home in past month.
They're still looking for the arsonist and want anyone with information to call the fire department, Decatur Police or Macon County Crime Stoppers at 423-TIPS.

As your blog grows and you continue to add useful content and articles to it it's important to make sure that new visitors to you blog can find the best of what you have to offer and also have a page where they can start to decipher exactly what they're going to be able to find on your blog.
If you're serious about your blog you'll be adding content several times a week and getting new visitors and subscribers on a daily basis and it's important for you to give them ever reason to become a subscriber and become a regular reader and helping them navigate and find everything that you have to offer easily.
A "Start Here" page is great place to for your new readers to get started. A place where they can find out who you are, what your best content is and any other useful information that you have to offer your readers.
So How Do You Create A Useful "Start Here" Page:
Link Location
Make sure you have your "Start Here" page link located in a useful place, some blogs have a prominent banner in the sidebar and others have it in their main menu or even both if you have the space. So start by creating a new page and figuring out how you want to let your readers know about it.
Who You Are And What You Offer
It's important to start by telling your readers a bit about your blog and what they should expect to find. Point them towards you "about page", outline the topics you cover, places you have been featured and most importantly what makes you different from the hundred of other blogs on the market and why they should come back and read your blog over everyone else's.
Time To Show Off
Now is the time to show off what you have. You really only really get one shot to impress someone online as it's such a vast playing field so make sure you give it your best shot.
Point them to the most popular reads in you blog and break it down into categories for them so they can see a good snap shot of the material their going to be able to find and read. If you have tutorials and resources on the topic you blog about then make them into a feature. You want to show them that you are the one stop shop for everything on that topic and that they don't need to go anywhere else.
When creating about pages I usually end up making a list of all the things that my blog is missing because in the process of trying to direct my readers to the best content I realize that I'm missing vital bits of information that a blog on my topic should have, so it also becomes great practice for finding new content to add.
Turn Them Into A Regular Reader
The other important thing to note is that at every opportunity you get you should be trying to turn you visitors into readers and a "Start Here" page really is a useful palace to get them to subscribe. Whilst your busy showing off your best content you're also giving you readers a reason to stick around so whilst they are immersed in your great content make sure you provide them with the necessary subscriber boxes to become a regular reader.
List Building Tip 1: A way to build you list faster is to offer something in return for their email like an eBook or an email course like the one I have on offer in the sidebar, value exchanges often build lists faster than just offering email updates.
List Building Tip 2: Having attractive subscriber forms is really important for grabbing attention and enticing readers to subscribe. Try using WPSubscribers, the options are endless for customization and placement, it's really helped me to build a list quickly.
Over To You
So have you got a "Start Here" page on your blog? If you have let us know how it's working for you and how it's helped your readers and you blog grow. If you haven't try putting one together today, it won't take very long but the results might just surprise you.

Anatomy Design
A new interiors shop called Anatomy Design has just opened up in 44 Stanley and I went to go check it out. It's a cozy space that is full of very sweet things to buy from ceramic pieces to art to designer furniture to cushions to some super cool lamps, amongst other things. I definitely think it's worth a visit if you are looking for some nice stuff for your house or a gift for someone for Christmas, I mean who wouldn't want a plate with a pigeon on it?! Love those.
- Craftsmanship, simplicity and the use of materials in their natural form has become a trademark for products designed and made by Anatomy Design. They are also stockists the unique and curious brands, such as Number Nineteen and Josephine Road.

I loved seeing their stuff at Food Wine Design! Great that they have a store in Joburg.
I've just ordered some of their awesome goodies & the Ladies have been outstanding in their customer service. Can't wait for my package to arrive in London! Rad to see pictures of the store!
Love the whale cushion, it's so funky!
So funny that you blogged about this – I was there for the first time this week, and everything in the store made me think of your blog. Love their things! My favourite was those watercolour paintings – so good!

Agra - Despite a foggy Sunday, holiday crowds are swelling in the Taj city ahead of Christmas celebrations.
Agra's main churches -- St Peter's, St Mary's, St George's, Baptist and Methodist -- have all been spruced and lit up.
The night temperature had dipped close to 6 degrees Celsius.
Anticipating a big rush in Agra, the approach to the Taj Mahal from the Yamuna Expressway has been cleared.
Additional forces have been deployed to ensure the smooth flow of traffic, an official said.
The 17th century Taj Mahal monument is India's biggest draw.

DIY: How To Etch Glass
I've debated whether or not to post this tutorial now, because there are some events coming up where I will probably give this as a gift and I don't want certain people to see it yet.…but I figured that might always be the case, so I'm posting it anyway. So if you happen to a have a shower or a wedding coming up in the near future that I will be attending, you might want to just skip this post!
* Any glass thing that you want to etch…wine glasses, bowls, vases, etc.
* An exacto/craft knife
* A template for the letter you wish to use
* Contact paper (make sure it's Contact brand…not the cheap stuff)
* Etching cream…I used Armour Etch brand, which I bought it at Michael's. It's expensive, so bring along a coupon!! But a little goes a long way, and you can reuse it! keep reading…I'll tell you how…
* Gloves, masking tape, scissors
* Foam brush, or paint brush
1. Begin by printing from your computer the letter you want to use. I used Apple Chancery font at 450 size.
3. Attach the contact paper to the bowl, making sure that there are no air bubbles. Note that I used decorative contact paper but it actually probably makes more sense to use clear, so that you could tape the template to the inside of the bowl and actually just make your cuts on the contact paper by itself.
8. Basically, any part of the glass that the cream touches will be etched, so you only want it touching the letter itself. Leave on for 10 minutes.

Nikon D40, f/9, 1/320th, 31mm
amsterdam, netherlands
july 2012
Toying with going back to Amsterdam next month for this year's edition of Unseen Photo Fair. Only in its second year of existence, Unseen looks to celebrate undiscovered photographic talent alongside a variety of film screenings and a host of artist talks/lectures. The thing that most appeals to me is the emphasis on globalisation, and the idea of exploring photographic markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. "Emerging", as many Western curators would say. With a wide range of curators, critics and academics hosting events over four days, it's sure to be ridiculously educational.
It looks like my ongoing love affair with the Dutch arts scene will be continuing for a little longer.

No official medical database exists that tracks human-trap injuries (including severity or numbers) and most states do not require that trappers report non-targeted catches, including companion animals, which may either be injured or die in a trap.
Non-governmental organizations have attempted to track negative human encounters with traps, and most incidents have resulted indirectly from cat or dog rescue operations. Groups have recorded several mishaps to rescuers while freeing dogs from hidden traps. Trapped dogs experience stress when trapped, which results in dogs biting at the trap and everything within reach, including rescuers. Equestrians have been injured after being thrown when their horses inadvertently stepped on a hidden trap.
Prohibiting the use of indiscriminate traps on public lands will balance the expectations of the majority of public land users and will help ensure public safety. It also will protect individuals from enduring the emotional and financial strain of dealing with the loss or injury of their companion animals to the jaws of a trap.

UPDATE: The contextual text ad network broadens Accipiter's ad-serving offerings.
Ad serving technology provider Accipiter Solutions has acquired performance-based contextual ad network BidClix. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
BidClix provides a self-service, bid-for-placement marketplace of contextually targeted text ads. Unlike Google's AdSense, which targets ads by keywords on a page, BidClix follows the model used by Quigo, Seevast's Pulse360 (formerly Kanoodle), and Marchex's IndustryBrains, all of which target ads based on a site's pre-defined category.
Last year, Accipiter began exploring options to build its own bid-for-placement system to offer publishers. Accipiter's publisher partners said they wanted a tool that would give them control over the advertising on their site and let them serve text ads they sold themselves, but they also wanted an option for back-filling unsold inventory with ads sold by Accipiter or a partner, according to Brian Handly, Accipiter's CEO.
Since Accipiter's business was almost exclusively publisher-focused, it became apparent that partnering would make more sense, to take advantage of existing advertiser relationships, he said.
"We're a technology company, not a media company," Handly told ClickZ. "The challenge for us was not to build a bid-for-placement system. The real challenge for us was to have ad sales representation for inventory that our publishers were not able to sell themselves."
To meet that challenge, Accipiter partnered with BidClix last year, launching its AdMarket solution with white-labeled BidClix technology in May 2006. That arrangement revealed cultural and business synergies, as well as publisher response, that led to this acquisition, Handly said.
"Accipiter has had significant demand from our customer and prospect base for the development of a self-service bid-for-placement system that they could leverage to gain more control over their advertiser relationships," Handly said. "BidClix provides the bid-for-placement system that allows publishers this type of control while still offering backfill capabilities and relationships with thousands of advertisers that our customers can immediately leverage."
The Accipiter and BidClix systems are two separate technologies, which require users to log in separately for reports and campaign management. At the top of Accipiter's to-do list is integrating the two systems, with the first phase expected to be complete early next year, Handly said.
The BidClix Advertising Marketplace has over 4,915 registered publishers and 13,846 registered advertisers. It serves 1.1 billion ads per month to about 25 million individuals in the U.S. and international markets. BidClix offers site-specific targeting and broader content channel buys. Text ads are served into several standard ad units, including banners, towers and pop-unders. All BidClix employees will join Accipiter, remaining in BidClix's Seattle office.
This is one of several moves to develop Accipiter's ad serving platform into a unified ad platform that can traffic media across all kinds of digital media, Handly said. The company already serves ads in podcasts, RSS feeds, blog sites, streaming audio/video, and mobile platforms, most of which it did through in-house development. There are a few more areas to fill, for which Accipiter is currently exploring acquisition targets, he said.

After eight months, a judge has dismissed the case against a Mesquite man arrested for firing a warning shot in his own backyard during a possible break in.
Kay Ward and Terry Nye are finally free to close a difficult chapter after sleepless nights and $2,500 in lawyers' fees.
"It makes you, I don't know, a little jaded to the whole system, I guess," Nye said.
He said back in May the sounds of banging at his window woke him up. He grabbed is gun and went into his backyard.
"I was terrified. I was literally shaking like a leaf," Ward said.
"I can see men through the fence and I told them to leave and leave me alone," Nye added.
Then he fired a warning shot into the ground.
A neighbor who heard the gunfire called police.
Nye was there to greet the officers thinking they'd try to find the suspects. Instead, they arrested him for discharging a weapon in a metropolitan area.
"I went to jail. I spent Memorial Day in jail this year," he said.
He said he fired the warning shot because he didn't want to have to shoot a person.
"I didn't want to explain to my granddaughter I shot someone because they were stupid," he said.
But Mesquite police questioned why he didn't call 911 first.
"The man and his family were in no immediate danger. Firing a warning shot was unnecessary and reckless," the department said in a statement.
Nye said the whole ordeal nearly flushed his 30-year plumbing career.
"If I was convicted of this I could lose my plumbing license. The state of Texas doesn't license criminals to go into people's homes," he said.
Instead the judge ordered him to complete a mandatory gun training class. Then he and Ward can finally move on.
"It's over. It's over. Thank God it's over," Ward said.

Face Off: Does calling it a "beta" justify selling an unfinished game?
Are qualifiers like "alpha" and "beta" used too liberally to justify selling unfinished products, or are monetized testing phases beneficial to PC gaming? In this Face Off debate, Tyler goes pro on the latter: sell what you want, he says, because it's the player's job to make informed buying decisions. T.J.'s on Con Air, and says that if players can buy the game it should be called what it is: released.
Jump over to the next page for more opinions from the PC Gamer community, and make your own arguments in the comments. Debate team captains: it's your time to shine.
Tyler: Go ahead, say it.
T.J.: *cough* The War Z. Sorry, what?
Tyler: I thought so. Alright, yes, there was some shady wording in its Steam description, but that was a unique case. In general, it's fine for devs to charge for unfinished games as long as they're upfront about it. If you don't want to troubleshoot or put up with missing features, then don't be an early adopter.
T.J.: No, you're right. The War Z, while it would help my case, is a one-off thing. It's a prime example of how bad this phenomenon can get, but it's not emblematic of the larger issue. There are two states a game can be in: Purchasable and Not Purchasable. If I'm paying for the game, and you're telling me it's "not out yet" or a "Foundation Release," you're blatantly using wordplay to cover up what you seem to see as a blemish on your own product.
Tyler: Wordplay shmordplay! We all know betas are works-in-progress, and anyway, they're important. For indie devs, pre-release adopters can furnish the funds and feedback they need to keep developing. That's a beautiful thing—community and developer working hand-in-hand—and it sure as hell worked for Minecraft. If Notch had tried to "finish" Minecraft before release, where would we be today? In a world devoid of cubes, that's where.
T.J.: I conceded that The War Z is a one-off thing, and now you throw out Minecraft like that's the norm?
Tyler: Touché, Hafer.
T.J.: Which was, interestingly enough, one of my nicknames in high school. But anyway, indie devs, if they want to be taken seriously, can't expect gamers to hold them to a different standard in this department than the big guys. Yeah, Minecraft was called an "alpha" when it first went up for purchase. But it was also a pretty full-featured game without too many fun-ruining bugs that you could happily spend a lot of time in. I don't feel like it needed to be labeled an alpha. So just drop the excuses and call it "Minecraft." And it's not just indie devs that are guilty of this name game, either.
Tyler: Right, and buggy games suck, but it doesn't make a difference if it's an alpha, beta, gamma, or whatever. The beta tag actually helps us with buyer's risk, because it ought to tell consumers: "This isn't done yet, so you'd better ask around before committing." It's actually more honest to call your buggy, unpolished game a beta than it is to call it finished.
T.J.: No, it's more honest not to charge money until you're comfortable doing so without a qualifying label. Almost everything is a "work in progress" these days, anyway. People expect that. Games like League of Legends have added massive amounts of post-launch content, even without boxed expansions. If you want people to test your game that you feel is underpolished and not ready for prime time, give it to them for free.
Tyler: Again, betas are part of the business model for a lot of these games. Development takes a long time and a lot of money, so earning revenue during the testing phase just makes sense. The super-fans get to jump in early, and the dev gets financial breathing room while it analyzes feedback. It's win-win.
T.J.: I'm not asking them to give up their business model, but the line at which a dev feels justified charging money should be near or overlapping the line at which they no longer feel the need to use the "beta" or "pre-release" labels. Sell the game, as a full game, with the features you have done, and talk about your plans for future content. If you really don't have the resources you need to put out what you're comfortable labeling a finished game, run a Kickstarter.
Tyler: How is Kickstarter better? It's just a market for promises. There's no guarantee you'll get anything, even an unfinished version of the game, so it achieves the same thing but with no instant gratification. That is, unless the dev is giving out a beta version as a contribution award, like FTL did, in which case... you're buying a beta! When you drop the crowdfunding buzzwords, there's no difference.
T.J.: The difference, I guess, lies in whether you actually have the funds to make the game without having to resort to fundraising (and thus, using beta access as an incentive). There's a difference between saying, "We couldn't make this game without your help, and we're going to let you play an early version as a reward for helping foot the bill," and "Here, we want you to pay us for this before it's met our own standards for release." One brings us games that couldn't happen otherwise, while the other comes across as sleight of hand.
Tyler: Leave David Copperfield out of this. He's a national treasure.

'Earmark' Was Most-Searched Term on Google During Republican Debate
The four remaining Republican presidential hopefuls went toe-to-toe in Arizona during Wednesday night's CNN debate, dishing out terms like "Romneycare" and "bridge to nowhere." But which was the expression that sparked the curiosity of debate watchers and Internet searchers across the nation? "Earmark." Google's Politics and Elections team monitored the search engine during the two-hour Republican debate.

Help to hunt for planets!
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla
The Planet Hunters! I gave the website a try and like Zooniverse's other projects it is very, very easy to get up and running. The interface shows you a light curve of a star from Kepler, and you are asked to look for dips in the star's spectrum, drawing a box around them. (I asked how tight the box is supposed to be, and the answer is that it is supposed to just be drawn around the part of the spectrum that contains the dip, so it's best to zoom in to get detail on the light curve). Go give it a try!

Jets hold off Dolphins, take control of AFC East
What went right:
1. Bend but don't break — Chad Henne started the season 2-0 for a reason. For all the no-names and errant passers to wear blue and orange since Dan Marino, none had ever solidified the starting role like Henne had a chance to do with a win last night. "I want to be the guy who sticks," Henne said in the preseason. He had his shot. After allowing the Jets to balloon a one-point lead into eight with 1:55 left, Miami drove effortlessly down to the Jets' 11 in just three plays. That's where the party ended. Two incomplete passes and a weak sideline pass to Ronnie Brown, put the Fish in fourth-and-4 at the 5-yard line. Henne panicked in the pocket and forced a throw to Anthony Fasano in the front of the end zone that was picked off by Drew Coleman, sealing the Jets' win and a 2-1 record — good enough for first place in the AFC East. Henne finished with 363 yards and two touchdowns.
2. A sobering experience — No, not Brandon Marshall's game-high 10 receptions for 166 yards. The Jets jumped out to a 14-0 lead early and didn't miss Braylon Edwards, who was suspended for the first quarter after being charged with a DWI early this week. Edwards, though, showed up big time in the second half. After Miami took its first lead of the game, 17-14, midway through the third quarter, Edwards caught a short pass and took it 67 yards to the house. Edwards' two biggest plays, though, came on the Jets' last real offensive drive late in the fourth. Up by just one, Sanchez hit him on a comeback route to convert a third-and-10, then he drew an interference penalty on third-and-goal that led to a LaDainian Tomlinson touchdown run to give the Jets a 31-23 lead. "Once he stepped in the building, he let everything outside the building go," Sanchez said of Edwards, who finished with 87 yards. "Everybody checks their baggage on the door and just focuses in."
3. A special win — In such a clean, close contest, a special teams play is often the difference and it was no different in this one. With the Jets up by just one and the crowd coming to life late in the third, Eric Smith broke through the line and blocked a punt. Brad Smith then ran for 16 yards on a third-and-15 to set up a Nick Folk field goal, giving the Jets a 24-20 lead. It was one of those spirit-breaking plays and as Smith said afterward, changes the opponents' mind set. "There's a big difference between needing a field goal to take the lead and needing a touchdown." The Dolphins never got the latter.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but unless you're a Real Housewife, once you become a mom -- sorry! -- party's over. Well, in some aspects (in others, party's just beginning). Long gone are your days of aimlessly wandering through malls, trying to find the perfect dress for dinner that night. And your long-standing Saturday mani/pedi -- ha! That's a cruel thing of the past. When you're a parent, getting ready is more a feat of speed and efficiency than leisure and luxury.
Being a mother is amazing, but it isn't always glamorous. But there are ways to look less frumpy and frazzled -- even if you don't have time. Here are six little things moms can do for their appearance that will make a big difference.

Reading this article leads me to think that you don't have children. :/
I've found that if you look frumpy most of the time but look decent and put together every once in a while you get a lot of compliments on those days. :) If you look put together every day, then people just expect you to look that way and then if you have a frumpy day, everyone says you look tired and ask you if you're okay.
