Chettinad Style Senai (Elephant Yam) Curry
Simple yam curry with a sprinkle of fresh coconut is their comfort food with rasam sadam (rasam-rice). However, my skin gets all red and itchy if I happen to touch this in the raw form, which is why I can never buy it from a market, where a piece is cut off the large vegetable and sold by weight.
In supermarkets, it is a different deal. Cut pieces are neatly wrapped in several layers of plastic wrap.
I have seen yam peeled and cubed, sold frozen in some Indian stores in the US.
Here, when I get home this itchy vegetable, it is usually the plastic wrapped variety from the supermarket, which my househelp cleans and cuts into cubes, ready to be used. If you are handling yam for the first time, make sure you wear sturdy gloves because a large number of people I know have skin allergy to the raw vegetable. Some experience itchy tongue and throat after eating the cooked vegetable too.
Yam like any other starchy vegetable, when pressure cooked without its skin, can turn into a mush pretty quickly and in a closed cooker it is a process that can easily get out of control. Which is why, although i am a big advocate of pressure cooking, I make an exception here, to boil the pieces in water with salt and turmeric, remove them when they are just tender and proceed with the curry.
In a traditional Tambram style, once the pieces are cooked in salted water, they are drained. Mustard seeds, asafoetida, udad dal and dried chillies are tempered in hot oil and then the boiled yam cubes added with any required salt and a little bit of sambar powder for taste. It is finished off with a light garnish of freshly scraped coconut.
The Chettinad style is slightly spicier and more fragrant because of use of fennel seeds (saunf/sombu). You can also add crushed garlic to the tempering for more punch, which I have avoided.
This is a very simple recipe, the only thing is to get the yam cubes boiled to the right degree, so it does not turn mushy and pasty.
Recipe for Chettinad Style Senai Curry
Serves 2-3
Time taken: Under 20 minutes
250 grams yam, skinned and cut into roughly 2 cm cubes
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch of turmeric powder
1/2-1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp of coriander powder
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 tsp of desiccated or fresh coconut
Handful of mint leaves (optional)
For tempering
2 tsp oil
Pinch of asafoetida
2 sprigs curry leaves
3 dried red chillies, broken
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp chana dal
1 tsp udad dal
In a vessel, place 2 cups of water with 1/2 tsp salt and pinch of turmeric powder. Bring it to a rapid boil.
Add the cubed yam to this, cover with a lid, leaving a small opening for the steam to escape.
Check with a knife to see when it is nearly tender. This should take around 6-8 minutes depending on the variety of yam.
Remove this in a colander / sieve and allow to drain well.
Meanwhile, prepare the tempering. Heat the oil in a non stick kadai (wok). Add all tempering ingredients one after the other, and stir on medium flame till the udad dal and chana dal turn golden brown.
To this add the drained yam cubes, red chilli powder, coriander powder, coconut and mint leaves. Toss gently to coat well. Add the remaining 1/2 tsp salt as per taste. On a low flame, let this crisp up a bit.
Serve hot with roti or with any sambar or mor kozhambu and rice.
Most starchy vegetables like colocassia (seppankizhangu), potatoes, sweet potatoes, plantains (vazhakkaai) or a mix of these can be prepared in this manner.

Simple yet so delicious!
Most of the South Malabar simple preparations do not have the mustard tempering but the Chena Erisseri and Kootu are very generous!

I have never made chenai this way, interesting! - I just make it the Tam Bram way you have mentioned (from my Mom) or the Mudaliar way (from MIL) - which is to marinate it in a masala paste of red chillies, saunf and coconut and then dip half cooked slices of into the paste and then slow fry them on a tava - think i have posted the recipe long back.

Seems durable but of course only time will tell. This is my first Samsung camera but have been very pleased with other products by them. A lot of features for the money. This was for our daughter and if it holds up and continues to perform as it has, will most likely purchase an upgraded version for myself. Crutchfield, as always, provided excellent service and fast shipping. Have been doing business with them for 30+ years now and have never had a negative experience. Have probably purchased over 50 items from them over the years. That's saying a lot! Pros: Good value. Lots of features. Cons: None so far. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Artful Dodger is a British R&B and UK garage band from the city of Southampton, which became famous through its 2-Step hits, and gave Craig David's career a boost after he appeared on their #2 hit, "Re-Rewind", in December 1999. The band originally consisted of Mark Hill and Pete Devereux, but Devereux left prior to the release of the single "TwentyFourSeven", and Hill continued from then on to produce "TwentyFourSeven" by himself under the same moniker. The UK Garage act now comprises MC Alistair and includes producer and DJ Dave Low. Many Artful Dodger tracks can be found on the UK garage compilation album series Pure Garage, mixed by DJ EZ. The band's name was taken from a character in the Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist, because of the many bootlegs they made in the early days.

[UPDATE: This story was originally published on October 19.]
Armed with loads of charm and Kickstarter contributions, local babe Nana Ghana filmed L.A. Woman Rising, a doc about 50 different Angelenos waking up and starting their days. It's a complex and compelling project that truly captivated us from the first frame. But, heck — would you expect anything less from a gal who has worked with James Franco and is a regular on the SoCal art scene? Didn't think so!
We've seen Ghana at nearly every museum-hosted function around town (it's hard to miss that gorgeous hair and infectious grin!), and recently we broke down and finally asked her to spill her secrets to looking so fierce, 24/7. Take a peek at her beauty tips and tricks, and we guarantee you'll be copying her style, stat! Hey — if it got Franco's attention, we're all ears.

This story was corrected at 3:30 p.m. on April 2, 2013. An explanation follows the story.
Every Saturday morning, Gaithersburg resident Omar Pancoast teaches his weekly chess lessons to students in the food court at Lakeforest Mall.
The mall has changed since the chess club started in the same space 13 years ago, he said.
"They've beefed up security," Pancoast said. "Other than a high school crowd getting rowdy, we haven't had anything happen in a long time."
Safety and security at Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg have been a hot topic in recent years, with several high-profile incidents like the slaying of a mall employee in 2006 and a murder at the nearby bus stop in 2010. In the past 12 months, there have been three reported strong-arm robberies — two in the parking lot and one at Macy's — during daylight hours, according to data from the Gaithersburg Police Department.
"We do have shoplifters and we do have disorderly individuals," police department spokesperson Officer Dan Lane said.
But, in Lane's perspective, crime at the mall, which is at 701 Russell Ave., has remained the same.
"It's the same amount of people that are coming to the mall," he said. "You have the one little small percent of those who want to commit a crime."
Since January 2010, four to six serious incidents per year, which include burglary, assault, robbery and carjacking, have occurred on mall property, according to data from the Gaithersburg Police Department.
"We do have a lot of officers work there part-time, in collaboration with mall security," in an effort to curb incidents like those, Lane said.
Lakeforest Mall officials declined to comment on the topic of mall security.
The mall's current owners, Stamford, Conn.-based Five Mile Capital Partners, bought the property for about $100 million in February. The mall's management, provided by Boca Raton, Fla. company Urban Retail Properties, LLC, has declined to comment on its plans for the mall and mall security.
Longtime Montgomery Village resident Bob Hydorn said safety at the mall has improved since the new owner took over, but the nearby bus stop at the intersection of Lost Knife Road and Odendhal Avenue has been an issue.
"Whenever you congregate that many buses in that spot, you're bound to have loitering," he said.
Lane said the bus stop has been a challenge for police.
"There are so many people coming and going...it makes it a little bit difficult to see what would be our way of tackling this issue," he said.
The best defense for shoppers, Lane said, is to stay alert.
This story incorrectly listed Urban Retail Properties as the owner of Lakeforest Mall. The owner is Five Mile Capital Partners.

Buccaneer sophomore Brad Yewer runs lifetime best; qualifies for regionals
Friday, April 11, 2003Knoxville, Tenn. (April 11, 2003) - East Tennessee State University's Brad Yewer, the lone Buccaneer participant at the Sea Ray Relays hosted by the University of Tennessee, set a lifetime best and a regional qualifying time on Friday. The sophomore from Newbury, England finished eighth in the 1500 meters with a time of 3:47.36, four seconds faster than his previous lifetime best. In what has already been an impressive sophomore campaign, marked by his three Southern Conference indoor titles and the SoCon Indoor Most Outstanding Runner accolade, today's performance is tops among this weeks SoCon power rankings. "Brad has worked really hard this season," Buccaneer head coach Dave Walker said. "Qualifying for regionals is what it's all about and he is well deserving." The Sea Ray Relays is host to more than 1,500 athletes from 114 schools. The relays will conclude tomorrow and the Buccaneers will have a women's 4x100 meter relay team competing at 2 p.m.

Webb Alumni Picnic in Virginia
By: John Newcomb
On Saturday, September 24th 2011, alumni and family members gathered at a scenic lake side pavilion in Newport News City Park for a Hampton Roads/Southeastern Virginia regional cookout. Classes from as early as 1946 to as recent as 2007 were represented. The Ryan family orchestrated the event: Patrick commanded the grill, Will and Abby took charge of Nical (John & Cathy Newcomb's dog), and Jennifer got everyone acquainted and settled in. Once the grilling was complete, the group sat down for some serious eating and socializing. The weather was cloudy and threatening, but the rain held off and a great time was enjoyed by all. Many thanks to Jennifer and family for initiating and organizing the event. We look forward to more opportunities to get together in the future.

Gallery: Ballast Point Park is an Old Industrial Facility Restored Usin...
Ballast Point has played a prominent role in the history of Sydney and now the park works to bring that history to life through restoration, installations, and design. Choi Ropiha Fighera's design of the grounds sought to restore the area back to nature, while also reminding visitors of all the changes and activities that occurred at the point, including fishing, hunting, mining, manufacturing, and storage. The 2.6 hectare park now provides walking paths, access for cyclists and green picnic spots with panoramic views to the city and Harbour Bridge.
The restoration of the point included a decontamination of the old industrial facilities and the creation of new wetland areas to filter the site's stormwater before it enters the harbour. To minimize on the use of new materials, Choi Ropiha Fighera made use of demolition and recycled materials to build the new infrastructure including the new walls, decks and seating. They also designed a number of modern, yet industrial shade structures around the park for visitors use. These steel structures feature bright yellow recycled seat belt webbing that is woven to create a shade covering. They also planted native trees, shrubs and grasses grown from locally collected seed. The project received Australian Institute of Architects Small Project Architecture Commendation in 2009, the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects NSW Special Jury Citation for New Directions in 2009, the Energy Australia National Trust Heritage Award Highly Commended in 2010, and Waterfront Centre (Washington DC) Top Honour Award in 2010.

JOHNSONBURG – Barely two weeks removed from a walk-off home run to stun Ridgway, Cameron Grumley struck gold again.
The sophomore starting catcher crushed a Josh Mitchell offering over the center field fence Tuesday in the fifth inning of a first round District 9 Class A playoff game to put the Rams in the quarterfinals.
Johnsonburg is scheduled to host Smethport at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Knothole Area Recreational Park.
The 3-run home run turned out to be the game-winner in Johnsonburg's eventual 3-0 win over the visiting Elkers, a victory that raised the Rams' record to 19-0.
Ridgway softball was honored with a banquet to celebrate the season at The Royal Inn Monday night.
Ridgway varsity head coach Gary Gerber II expressed appreciation to athletic director Manny Barbazzeni as well as the players.
"We're here to honor all the hard work these young ladies put into the softball season," Gerber II said.
Senior catcher Sydney Kovalyak expressed her appreciation to coaches, parents and the booster club for the banquet along with The Royal Inn. She spoke about the excitement the team had for the upcoming season.
BROOKVILLE – By the time the 2012 PIAA District 9 AA Track and Field Championships were over on Friday evening at Brookville Area High School, several District 9 records had fallen as athletes strove to qualify for the PIAA state meet.
In addition to Elk County Catholic High School's Kennedy Weisner's record-setting performances in the girls' 800-meter run and 1600-meter run, six other records were broken in the girls' events on Friday.
Elk County Catholic's Scott Krellner and Alex Herzing captured the District 9-AA tennis doubles championship at DuBois on Wednesday.
In the championship match, Krellner and Herzing defeated St. Marys Area's Dalton Gennocro and Jarrod Lipsey 6-3, 7-5.
Krellner and Herzing reached the championship match by defeating Johnsonburg's Shane Bickford and Nate Field 8-2 in the first round. In the quarterfinals they defeated Alec Bouch and Fabio Fortunato of Brockway 10-8. In the semifinals they defeated St. Marys Area's Michael Fox and Evan Lepovetsky 6-4, 6-3.
Ridgway softball didn't wait on good pitches to hit and weren't waiting to build a big lead.
The Lady Elkers scored 10 runs in the first inning and were not threatened in a 13-1, 5-inning victory over Sheffield Wednesday afternoon at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School in Ridgway's season finale.
"They came out swinging," Ridgway coach Gary Gerber II said. "Everybody up and down the lineup came out swinging. We jumped out ahead of them and Taylor did the rest."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Ramettes celebrated Senior Day Wednesday before trudging to an 18-4 5-inning drubbing at the hands of the visiting DuBois Central Catholic Lady Cardinals.
DCC used a 12-run fourth inning to effectively break a 4-4 tie before finishing off the Ramettes in five innings.
Johnsonburg starting pitcher senior Kiana Myers, appearing in her final home game, set down the side in the top of the first inning before allowing two runs to score in the second.
Ridgway baseball recognized the team with a banquet Monday at Sandy Beach Recreational Park after the Elkers' game with St. Marys.
Ridgway varsity baseball head coach Mark Morelli recognized seniors Ryan McClelland and Jay Launer for their efforts with the team.
"We appreciate everything you've done," Morelli said. "We certainly wish you well in your future plans."
JoJo Jaques was the winner of the scholar-athlete award.
"A lot of schools look at people and their grades," Morelli said. "You got to keep your grades up."
St. Marys Baseball scored in four of the six innings played in a 10-0, 6-inning win over Ridgway Monday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park.
St. Marys was off to a fast start as Mitchell Meyer hit a home run to left with the first at bat of the game to put the Dutch up 1-0. Dalton Kline walked and Branden Tyger doubled to right field to score Kline for a 2-0 St. Marys lead. Brandon Vollmer then walked, stole second and scored on a Ridgway infield error on a ball hit by Justin Beimel to put the Dutch ahead 3-0 with no one out.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg baseball remained undefeated on the season with an 8-1 victory over Bradford Saturday at Knothole Area Recreational Park.
With the score knotted up at 5-all in the bottom of the seventh inning and two runners on for the Crusaders and no outs, Brookville intentionally walked ECC's Ivan Wortman to load the bases during a contest played at Berwind Park on Friday afternoon. After striking out the next batter, Brookville pitcher Brock Beitz threw four straight balls to Jack Herzing, giving the Crusaders the 6-5 win on a walk-off walk that scored Brock McCullough.

Wow. It has been a while since I posted fresh content here.
I am currently working on two projects. I am working as a Project Manager for Insterstate Distributor to do a major upgrade of their ERP system. Rather fun learning about an entirely new business segment. The project is big with an agressive schedule and limited resources. So far it has been fun.
I just created my first native code mobile app for Windows Phone 8, iPhone and Android. I did the app all in Visual Studio 2012 using PhoneGap. PhoneGap's documentation is worse than terrible but with the help of the internet I figured it out. The app is for the the exhibitors of upcoming World Aquaculture Society meeting in Seattle. Very satisfying to finally have it working on iPhone and Android. Windows phone was a slam dunk.
Rosie gave birth to an 8lb 7oz girl this morning. They haven't committed to a name yet but are leaning toward Lyndsey Elaine. I will have photos to post soon.
Eli David Bass was born at 6:00 AM on Saturday July 2. He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Mother and baby are doing fine. That make all of our children parents and us the grandparents of 9.
Becky finished her BYU Independent study class of American Heritage. I am so very proud of her. She got a 96% on the final exam. That was her lowest score on any assignment so in a word she Aced the class. Sounds like her next independent study class will be Doctrine and Covenants followed by French. I offered to take her to France for a vacation so she can practice. I think it would be great to go to Chamonix. She can shop and I can climb Mount Blanc. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Ben's business is growing in suburban Houston and their daughters are adorable.
JR and Heather's family is growing up rapidly. They are working on finishing the basement of their home so there wiill be room for all the kids and visitiors too.
Crystal Mountain was open for skiing on July 4 and Becky and I took advantage of skiing summer corn on an incredibly beautiful day. It was a popular destination. We even had lift lines to wait in. I am well under way to skiing every month this year.
I completed my 5th summit of Mt. Rainier on June 21. When picking a climb date in January we were guessing about weather. By a stroke of great fortune the weather was fantastic for both days of our climb. Our time from Camp Muir to the sumit was almost precisely 6 hours, the best time I have ever had while I lead the climb. The tremendous amount of snow made the climb quick and uneventfull. Nothing like being at 12,500 feet on the side of a mountain and watching the sun come up.
Our lives are very full.
Because of the nature of the work that I do, it really is necessary that I have some kind of a personal web site. This is as opposed to the internal intranet web site the I work on with the other people in my group.I have tried to give my site a flavor of the kinds of things that I do, some details about projects I work on and some things that are important to me.
With all my interests, related to IT or the outdoors, I tend to generate some opinions. I dicided that I would like to blog about my work and my interests. Thus this blog site. I like the BlogEngine framework that allows me to customize the look, layout and content of the site. The photo gallery driven by Gallery Server is much better than the previous tool. Together I think this is a better site than I had before. At the moment I miss the Silverlight animation and I hope to get that working soon. But it was important to me to get the site up and running and fiddle with it as I go along.
Feel free to express your opinions about my blogs. I am sure that not everyone will agree with me all the time.

This story was corrected at 6:15 p.m. on Monday, June 24. An explanation follows the story.
Montgomery County may boast of many things — beautiful parks, highly-rated schools and a terrific library system — but thriving nightlife is not one of them.
The county hopes to change that. On Monday and Tuesday, the Montgomery County Department of Liquor Control is partnering with the Responsible Hospitality Institute, of Santa Cruz, Calif., to host a Sociable City Leadership Summit at the Silver Spring Civic Building.
Experts in the hospitality business and city planners will discuss how to foster dining and entertainment districts.
Topics such as "What do Women Want in Downtown" and "Creating Vibrancy from Public Space to Private Venue" will be discussed.
The conference will inform County Executive Isiah Leggett hopes of turning Montgomery County into a nighttime hotspot. In January of this year, Leggett created a county Nighttime Economy Task Force to examine what the was needed to attract millennials to the county's business districts after hours, the way Arlington and neighborhoods in Washington have done.
The 19-member group, which meets the third Monday of every month, is chaired by Heather Dlhopolsky, a lawyer and a board member of the Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce. To see a full list of the task force members, visit the website: www.montgomerycountymd.gov/nighttimeeconomy/who.html.
According to the Nighttime Economy Task Force website, a nighttime economy needs to be part of a 24-hour community made up of restaurants, bars, retail stores and entertainment venues. The county hopes to establish a lively environment that appeals to all sorts of people — from baby boomers to families to single professionals.
Speakers at the conference include Dlhopolsky, Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring, County Councilmember Hans Riemer (D-At large) of Takoma Park, D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier and Montgomery County Police Capt. John Damskey.
An earlier version of this story had an incorrect spelling for Heather Dlhopolsky's last name.

THIS IS RUSH SOCCER! - CO Rush Sweep Rapids
Miguel Jaime nets winner for the Colorado Rush 18DA and Charlie Caswell hits for the brace for the 16DA's as both Development Academy teams top cross town rival Colorado Rapids. The 18's win has them in second place in the competitive Central Conference while the 16's have climbed up to 4th place in the 13 team division. Below is the full day writeup by Colorado Rush Director of Academy Sean Bushey.
Derby Day! Colorado Rush traveled across town to take on the Colorado Rapids. When both teams traveled back home on the cold day, they returned the victors!
The 18s kicked off at 1pm in front of club-mates made up of the 14DA and various ECNL players. For the game being the first game in almost 2 months, the team started well, though there was no doubt that the work of the two center backs (Eric Morrison and Garrett Wilson), along with defensive midfielder, Eduardo Reza (Lalo) kept the team anchored firmly in the game.
The second half saw the hard work matched with quality soccer, though were undone by a bit of individual work and found themselves behind 1-0 early into the second half. No worries. It was the soccer, the determination and the work that continued forward. Soon after, Spencer Goldstein neatly found Miguel Jaime (Miggy) behind the opponent's back line; the keeper was left all alone and had no other choice but to foul Miggy. Lalo calmly stepped up to bury the penalty kick. 1-1.
Onward! As the 75th minute passed by, the Rush continued forward. Joe Kerridge's rocket from outside the box was pushed away by the Rapids' keeper but Miggy was "Miggy on the spot" and skillfully buried the winner. The team defended well in front of keeper Jonny Finucane, who did his job well throughout the game, to earn the win.
The 14DA saw the example of Rush Soccer: Tenacity. Unity. Enjoyment. These are the players to emulate, to model, to learn from—it was well worth their time in the 20 degree weather!
The 16DA also took note. The 16's had defeated the Rapids last Fall at home and were determined to make it a sweep. From the beginning, it showed. On the front foot, the passing, the movement forward and the numbers in attack caused the opponent problems in the first quarter of the game…and it paid off as Will Eslinger buried the corner on the back post that was served from Noah Bushéy and flicked on at the near post for Will to calmly finish. There was a period of time in the first half where the momentum seemed to slip, but during those times it was the work of the center backs (Will and David Solis) and the defensive midfielder (Frank Morales) that kept all matters calm. They did take note of the 18s! The first half finished well and back in charge with the passing of Ryan Crowley and the extreme hard work of Jack O'Brien and David Ortiz.
As the second half started, it was the charge of the 16s to continue going forward and to continue to dictate the game. The message was played out and soon Charlie found himself in the box; as he weaved himself past a small handful of Rapids defenders, he buried his shot past the stranded keeper. Onward! The 16s continued to keep their foot on the pedal. Ty Lang and Adrian Cordova pressed forward from the outside, the midfield kept churning and the forwards kept moving. Soon a free kick was earned. Morales found a running Caswell who again was able to work himself, and ultimately the ball, past the Rapids defense. 3-0! A shutout for Carter Auth and a sweep of the cross-town rivals on the day: a great, and deserved, soccer day.
This is Rush Soccer! Tenacity. Unity. Enjoyment.

An interview with designer Hasan Abu Afash
(Hiba Studio)
Arabic is an extraordinary script not much understood by the majority of us in the western world. Strange as may sound, the world's second most widespread writing system relied till about recently on an unsatisfactory small number of quality fonts, compared to the abundance of Latin typefaces in existence today. But as the markets tend to merge, this process is slowly reversed. Definitely there are still not many designers working exclusively on Arab alphabets but the progress is tremendous. Last week we had the chance to chat with designer Hasan Abu Afash about his work and the current state of Arabic typography. Hasan, who runs Hiba Studio specializes in Arabic type design and programming. He has been involved, as a specialist, in the development stage of several international projects.
How many languages use the Arabic script?
The Arabic script is used for writing several languages in Asia and Africa, such as Arabic, Persian and Urdu. The alphabet was initially used to write texts in Arabic, mainly the Quran. With the spread of Islam, it came to be used in writing many languages including, at various times, Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Baloch, Malay, Panjabi, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Uyghur, Kazakh, Uzbek, Kurdish, Belarusian, etc. The Arabic alphabet has 28 basic letters. To accommodate the needs of these different languages, new letters and other symbols were added to the original alphabet. For examples: The Persian script consists of 32 letters the Urdu alphabet has 35 letters, the Pashto alphabet has 44 letters.
Are there different calligraphic styles for Arabic and how are they used respectively?
The Arabic script is written in horizontal lines from right to left (numerals are written from left to right) in a cursive style. Because the script is cursive, the shapes of the letters change and depend on their positions: Isolated, initial (joined on the left), medial (joined on both sides) and final (joined on the right).
The Arabic script has a number of different styles of calligraphy including: Naskh, Thuluth, Ruq'ah, Kufi, Nastaliq, Diwany and Tughra. The Naskh style was used in writing the Quran or Hadith and was adapted as the preferred style for typesetting and printing. Thuluth style was used in writing subject headings, as well as address books. Ruq'ah style for daily correspondence and Kufi for calligraphic writing on buildings. Nastaliq style was used extensively in writing poems and cards. Diwany for writing the orders and Tughra was used as the calligraphic seal of the Sultan and affixed to all official documents and correspondence.
What is the current state of publishing and advertising industry in the Arab world. Is there an increased demand for Arabic typefaces that can accommodate the design needs of contemporary arabic design?
Newspapers in the Arab world are considering now more than ever a redesign of their publications which incorporates new contemporary typefaces and some of them leave the traditional Naskh font style to modern Kufi style. In the Arabian Gulf, when branding agencies create new identities for their customers, they rely primarily on new and modern fonts. The style of these fonts or lettering is influenced in many cases by the style of contemporary Latin fonts. This may have to do with the fact that the market relies heavily on western products. Likewise, advertising agencies base their campaigns on type which carries the style and visual identity of the fonts used for the western products they are called to advertise. Along this line, a recent project by the Khatt Foundation, is indicative of the trends as they develop, when they brought together Arab designers with Dutch designers to produce matching typefaces.
Which rules you have to observe when matchmaking Arabic to Latin?
First of all I make a thorough study and analysis of the Latin type and understand its characteristics. Then I decide which Arabic calligraphic style will be best suited to the specific Latin type. For example: sans serif types work best with Kufi scripts, where more geometric and uniform shapes can be found and can relate easily to Latin letters and their simple forms. Serif types work best with cursive Thuluth, Naskh, and Diwani.
One general rule that should be observed is that we should not distort the construction of the Arabic letters in favor of matching the Latin type. Another important consideration is that the angle of the contrast must be inverted. What was the thickest horizontal in Latin becomes the thickest vertical in Arabic. Of course the same is true of the thinnest strokes. In Latin characters the vertical strokes are heavier than horizontal ones, even in monoline fonts where all strokes appear to have the same weight. In Arabic the opposite is true and fonts based on heavier vertical strokes will appear strange to Arabs. Don't try to match the vertical proportions of the Latin unless the individual Arabic style makes this possible. Typographic guidelines are also very important. A decision has to be made on the ideal loop and tooth heights for the letters. I can then establish the "meem-height" as an equivalent to the x-height and use that as a guide to streamline the proportions of other characters. But then we should have the Arabic meem's height slightly smaller than the equivalent x-height of a Latin one. And on the other hand, we often need to make Arabic ascenders and descenders slightly taller than Latin ones. Finally, in order to achieve compatibility it is necessary to apply certain modifications by transferring the stroke weight, contrast and ending shapes from the Latin type to the Arabic type. This should be carried out in a most cautious manner as to maintain adequate connections with established cultural norms. (On many of these issues relating to compatibility between Arabic and Latin scripts, I agree with Mamoun Sakkal's ideas expressed in a paper delivered to the second Conference on Bilingual Computing in Arabic and English, University of Cambridge, England in 1990).
When you design a typeface do you use certain words or a pangram in Arabic to test its balance and harmony?
I spend a lot of time testing several different words to achieve the right balance. As a pangram I use one which John Hudson sent me one day, containing all basic letters. In English it translates to 'a wise text which has an absolute secret and great importance, written on a green tissue and covered with blue leather'.
Which software is best for designing Arabic type?
There are many programs that can serve the designers of Arabic types and choosing which works best is best left to the designer himself. For drawing vectors I prefer Illustrator for ease of exporting outlines to FontLab directly. As font editor I use FontLab which is easy to work with and powerful in drawing outlines, adjusting side bearings, metrics, points, etc. It is worth mentioning that designers sometimes prefer to design directly on FontLab without going through any vector programs.
Are there major difficulties programming an Arabic opentype font?
There are many OpenType features that are still not supported by FontLab for the Arabic language, such as Mark Positioning and Cursive Positioning, so we resort to Microsoft VOLT to resolve such problems. Volt allows to see what you are doing because it depends on a Visual Environment. Programming in Volt does not come easy as there are several missing operations which slow down the process considerably. A major time consuming operation is also the process of putting marks in the right place above and below the letter.
Of all the typefaces you designed which one is your favorite and why?
All my fonts are dear to my heart, but most of all I like Hasan Alquds. It has been my first fully successful experience, when I started it from scratch back in 2002 and when it emerged into the light I showed it to Mamoun Sakkal. He asked me to apply several modifications which I revised and sent back to him. He continued to send me his comments and amendments, until the design reached its final and refined state. In every modification I gained additional information which I desperately needed to develop my typographic skills early on in my career. Also, let's not forget Hasan Hiba which was established on the basis of a careful study of the Fatimid Kufi calligraphy. In 2005, it was submitted to Linotype's first Arabic Type Design Competition in Germany and won the 5th place award. I like this type because I had the chance to realize one of my dreams, that of making a genuine Fatimid Kufi font.
You have collaborated with several designers and companies around the world. Tell us a little bit about these projects.
In 2008, two of my fonts Hasan Hiba and Hasan Noor were upgraded to the DecoType font format for use in WinSoft Tasmeem which is now bundled with InDesign CS4, by working with Mirjam Somers an award-winning Arabic type designer. Tasmeem is a user interface based on the Arabic Calligraphic Engine (ACE) technology which has won the prestigious Dr Peter Karow Award. I have also upgraded the Basim Marah font for Tasmeem with Mirjam Somers' assistance. Basim Marah was drawn by Basim Salem Al Mahdi from Iraq and then digitized by myself. The same year, I developed the OpenType project for Alinma TheSans fonts which is based on TheMix Arabic, designed by Luc(as) de Groot and Mouneer ElShaarani for Al Inma Bank, Saudi Arabia. Later I developed the OpenType features for Jumeirah Arabic which was designed by Pascal Zoghbi (29letters) and Huda AbiFares (Khatt) for Jumeirah International, UAE.
Other projects I participated include the development of the OpenType layout features needed for the Arabic script system in Seria Arabic fonts family which was designed by Pascal Zoghbi for FontShop International, as well as the Chams fonts family which was designed by Al Mohtaraf Assaudi for the redesign of the Shams Newspaper in Saudi Arabia and the Arajhi fonts for Alrajhi Bank.
Finally, ever since 2002 I have worked and collaborated with Mamoun Sakkal in several projects more notably the Burj Dubai Shilia project, Sakkal Baseet and the Microsoft project which included the updating of the OpenType instructions for fonts such as Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif, Arial, Times New Roman, Segoe, Courier, Time New Roman, Ms Uighur and Majalla UI.
The apparent association of the Arabic script to religion, has been considered by many as a hindrance for the flourishing of Arabic typography. But as the world comes together products and services transcend religious and cultural barriers. Different alphabets are more closely mixed and a trend has emerged towards modernizing Arabic typography and harmonizing the Arabic script with Latin. Is the market ready for this, what is your view in such an undertaking?
There is no such association of the Arabic script to religion. The Arabic script existed and was heavily used centuries before Islam. Although it is the official script of Quran, there is no provision in Islam which restricts the form of writing and calligraphy. Script development was subject to the discretion of the creators and calligraphers throughout history. Muslim leaders did not interfere in the affairs or developments of the calligraphy types. They worked on the advancement of Arabic calligraphy. They added dots above or below the letters to help readers of the Arabic language in all countries of the Islamic states. Islam did not oppose the development of typography either. If we look at what is preserved in museums, we find that the first calligraphy of the Quran has evolved continuously and is different with time.
The Kufic script of the Quran lasted for about four centuries with constantly renewed forms, but had an architectural heavy body. In the tenth century in Baghdad there was a need for calligraphy to commensurate with the civilization of cities and gardens, so thin calligraphy was born, such as Thulth calligraphy. Finally the Ottomans excelled in calligraphy which is evident in the elegant Qurans they produced in Naskh style. During all these centuries in the Muslim cities, there were innovative calligraphy for architecture and objects which were used in daily life such as utensils, glass and others.
It is true that the introduction of printing in the Islamic world was delayed, not so much of certain beliefs that the Arabic character was sacred as due to economic obstacles imposed on islamic countries which were under the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, for years the typographic mechanical technology lacked the proper tools to fully portray the dynamics of Arabic calligraphy.
Now, faster that ever, the world comes together in a way that makes it absolutely imperative that Arabic and all other scripts adapt to this trend in order to survive, but only in a way that respects and safeguards their cultural integrity. There is a trend lately towards modernizing Arabic typography. However, I do not agree that there is a need to totally harmonize Arabic with Latin or any other script. Arabic must retain its main visual characteristics. Harmonization can only serve the demands of specific applications and should not be seen as a general rule to bring scripts together.
Which books or other sources would you recommend to someone who wants to become familiar with arabic typeface design?
The Arab library lacks such references. There are no books that I know on how to design Arabic fonts. Internet may be the best alternative as you may be able to find a few significant articles by several designers but don't expect a complete solution. Personally, I relied in many instances on advice and information I received from prominent designers such as Mamoun Sakkal who has been a real mentor for me. I'm also grateful to John Hudson who tirelessly advised and answered all my posted queries.

Sexual offense with teenage girl alleged
William L. Quade, 29, of Bushwood was released on $10,000 bond this week after his arrest on charging papers alleging he had sexual relations last New Year's Day in Loveville with a girl who was 14 years old.
Quade, who was 28 at that time, was charged with committing a third-degree sexual offense, through the investigation this week by St. Mary's detective Cpl. William Raddatz.
Cocaine suspect's bond revoked
A judge has ordered that Damon Wayne Cutchember, 36, of St. Inigoes be held in jail without bond, except during release for medical care, as he awaits trial on a charge of possessing cocaine last February with the intent to distribute the drug.
Cutchember was granted release on personal recognizance in March on the condition that he stay away from his former residence, but a prosecutor filed court papers stating that on the same day as Cutchember's release, "he was [later] observed at [that same] property, and that when he was observed, he ran into the residence in order to hide from being observed."
Marijuana distribution alleged
Devin Tray Proctor, 21, of Hollywood has been released on personal release after his arrest last week on indictments alleging he distributed marijuana on Dec. 4 in Hollywood and on Dec. 11 in Lexington Park. St. Mary's grand jurors also charged Proctor with two offenses of the possession of marijuana.
Woman charged with forgery
Chasity Nicole Sweeney, 23, of Mechanicsville has been charged through a summons with a forgery offense in court papers alleging she signed a former employer's name on March 28 to an employment verification form at the St. Mary's Department of Social Services office in Leonardtown. A conviction for the offense carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Reward offered for tips in cases
Citizens with information about unsolved crimes in St. Mary's can collect a cash reward by calling St. Mary's County Crime Solvers 24 hours a day at 301-475-3333. They can withhold their name and later collect their reward through a number-identification system.
The Crime Solvers program assists law enforcement in solving open investigations that may not have been closed without the extra incentive of anonymity and an offer of a reward, providing the information leads to an arrest or indictment.
The Crime Solvers board of directors meets at 10 a.m. on the first Thursday of each month at the county's Northern Senior Center in Charlotte Hall. To be considered for membership on the board, attend a meeting or call the Crime Solvers chairperson at 301-884-5417 for details.
Contributions to the Crime Solvers reward fund can be mailed to St. Mary's Crime Solvers Inc. at P.O. Box 221, Mechanicsville, MD 20659.
Sheriff welcomes text-message tips

Underground Storage Tanks
National Information
Putting People to Work while Restoring Our Land and Protecting Our Groundwater
In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Congress appropriated $200 million from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund to EPA for assessing and cleaning up leaks from underground storage tanks. This money will pay for activities at shovel-ready sites and may be used either to:
- Oversee assessing and cleaning up eligible underground tank leaks, or
- Directly pay for assessing and cleaning up leaks from federally regulated tanks where the responsible party is unknown, unwilling, unable, or the cleanup is an emergency response.
Because the underground storage tank program is primarily implemented by states and territories, EPA allocated the vast majority of LUST Recovery Act money to state and territorial underground storage tank programs.

Sorry it's been sooooo late but to say I/we've been a little busy is an understatement. So, lets get on with it – at the end I will list some of the things now removed from previous lists and please do comment on it all. Sadly last year I missed doing it at all, but the last 2 Christmas's New Years were spent in the USA.
Without further ado – here is the 2013 TWBrit Christmas List:
Virtuix Omni
Oculus Rift Gaming kit
DJI Phantom 2 Vision
Amberley Court
Yes it's back again…. why? because this house is STILL awesome!!
Battenberg Cake
Land Rover 110 County Station Wagon
Actually I want a 130 stretched County Station Wagon with a standard pick-up rear but larger internal cabin space (obviously a special order)
Accuracy International
.338 with a x24 Schmitt und Bender scope ( I would say an AS50, but they're not legal in the UK)
A life time supply of Coffee
A Knighthood: KBE
for services to Britishness and Commonsense
An invite to become a member of White's
Now, there is no way I can continue in leaving this list without an update for my weird and wacky wants… But due to the nature of manufacturing issues I have revised my dire wish for a personal Boeing 787 Dreamliner and opted for my most favourite plane the 777 and on a tight budget a 767.
Below are two pics of planes for sale (click on them to enlarge). It's worth noting that a new 767 is about $185,800,000.00 and a new 777 is around $261,500,000.00 (Boeing 2013 list price) so can see these are greatly reduced as they're older and have probably changed hands a bit.
Now the 777 is fly by wire with a mechanical back up, making it very cost-effective and much easier to service, however the 767 is ALL Mechanical except for a couple of little bits – this means things like control cable replacement on a 767 is quite a big and expensive business.
Also there is the cost of refitting them with bedrooms, bathrooms etc. Frankly an engine of a 777 is around the $18m each mark so I really don't know how many cycles the airframe has left – but either way, two rock solid planes make the list :-)
Things now removed:
Taylor K24CE – Got One
A REAL Tablet: Motion Computing J3500 – Got One
Drum Kit – Got one
Theakstons Old Perculier – Got plenty :-)
Millions of personalised guitar picks – Got Them
Give up Smoking – Did it, one year ago today
Adobe Master Collection CS6 & Lightroom – Got them :-)
Heavy Duty Footwear – Got them all
Laptop with i7 CPU – Got It
Battlefield 3
So there you are… the craziness that is me and-some :D

The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
Two big games in a row he has been better in the first half than the second. Good player but that needs to change.

Its like this...
Long over Ryan was a colossal **** up. That being said, the regime that drafted Long (well...most of it) is gone. History. So its basically spilled milk now. Nothing left to do but move on and root for Tannehill and hope he gets us to a SB victory. Worrying about Ryan is kinda like still worrying about Brees at this point. It hurts, but its already over.
