- The much-maligned and much-cursed BRT corridoor has made life tough for private vehicle-owners and auto-rickshaw drivers, but pedestrians have never had it better. The traffic flow is much more organized and crossing the road is a breeze; many roads have the prized commodity that was non-existent earlier: pavements that cyclists do not encroach upon, since they have a separate lane to themselves.
- The new buses (Tata Marcopolo) that run in these corridoors are a dream. The ride is smooth; the bus design is good; the journey is as fast as it can be in a bus; and people don't crowd the doors. The only thing is that the buses seemed poorly ventilated, due to the strange positioning of the windows.
- The one thing that Delhi had and Mumbai didn't--precious green cover--is fast depleting. The coming of the Metro sounded the death-knell for lakhs of trees; the regret was palpable in the voices of whoever I had this discussion with, but there was also a resignation to the march of progress.
- Was I lucky, was I so used to it that I didn't notice, or do auto-rickshaw drivers in Delhi throw less attitude at you now? I also figured that the fare calculation is done as follows: average fare to destination rounded to the next high figure + markup of Rs. 10. If the chap wasn't interested in going, he didn't haggle any more, but shook his head firmly. Strangely though, I did not encounter as many refusals this time as I have done in the past.
- The gap between Mumbai's and Delhi's night-life seems to be reducing. While roads in Delhi used to be dead by 8 pm earlier, I saw a fair amount of traffic, bright lights and activity even past midnight on a Saturday night.
- Traffic jams, the bane of Mumbai, are multiplying alarmingly in Delhi, despite the fact that Delhi has larger, wider and better roads. Unless it's an emergency, the office hours need to be avoided like the plague.
- The mall culture has asserted itself with a vengeance. No less than three of these giants stand shoulder-to-shoulder in Saket (more trees destroyed), on a stretch of road that was otherwise desolate at night and only slightly busy in the day. A by-product is that the older PVR Saket bears a has-been look, even on weekends. I am told that M.G. Road in Gurgaon is known as the Mall Road now, because it is infested with shopping malls of every colour and flavour.
- If Mumbai has Navi Mumbai, Delhi has Gurgaon--a suburb with vast, uninhabited spaces that could take the huge overflow of aspirants who want to make it big in the city. For those who knew Gurgaon for the DLF 'ship building' and 32nd Milestone, it's bizarre and even scary to see the colonies of swank offices with their glass and concrete exteriors, the high-rises that house all those for whom Delhi has become unaffordable, and the frantic pace at which construction activity is still on. While Gurgaon promises a certain lifestyle, I was also told that housing in that suburb is also becoming unaffordable with skyrocketing property prices. Plus, problems of finding parking, increasing traffic jams, and power and water shortages are rearing their heads. In short, Gurgaon's becoming as overcrowded as Delhi.
- Now for some things that haven't changed. Connaught Place retains its essence, though several stores have shut down and new ones have taken their place. I spotted three Coffee Day outlets this time, which is two more than last time. The emporia on Baba Kharak Singh Marg are the same, right down to the attitude of the employees who work there; and the guys at Khadi still firmly believe that they're doing you a favour by billing your products and packing them. Janpath is much the same, as is Depaul's cold coffee (Thank God for that!). Dilli Haat is the same; shoppers in Delhi's markets are still a pushing, shoving lot; and auto-rickshaw drivers still love to pass a comment or two to relieve the boredom of their existence. The golgappas are the same, though I couldn't indulge as much as I'd have liked to; Hot Choc Fudge at Nirula's is sinful as ever; and filter coffee at Saravana Bhavan and Sagar Ratna is still a taste of heaven. There, I'm looking forward to the next trip already!
- Nothing about the biggest addition to Delhi--the Metro--you'd notice. A Metro journey is on my wish-list for next time, so I'll reserve comment till then.

dilli ka badalta roop
Maybe because I traveled more in this trip, I saw much that has changed in Delhi from even six months ago. Many of those changes may have been building for a while and are manifested now.

Take an informed decision and get equipped with technical tools as well as Elliott wave which are extremely important for knowing where the markets will head next.
Do not act simply on what others say but also have the thrilling experience when your forecast is very accurate and sometimes to the point…
From past few weeks we have been very precise in capturing the movement of Equity, Commodity and Currency markets. Now, our trading course on Elliott Wave will teach you how to identify and trade those opportunities.
Whether you are Intraday or Positional trader or investor investing in stocks, commodities orforex, futures or options – you get a practical trading education that you can apply immediately.
We had been continuously mentioning that Nifty can make a top at around 6050-6120 and precisely Nifty had made a top at 6112. To many the current down move in Indian equity markets might be a surprise but not to our subscribers as they were expecting strong reversal to downside and we mentioned the support at 5585 levels.
Also in Commodity markets we had captured the down movement in Comex Gold from 1670 to 1597 levels as well as MCX Gold, MCX Silver and MCX Copper.
In Currency markets, when many analysts were expecting a down move towards 49 – 50 levels we had an opposite view and expected a bottom near 53 – 53.50 levels. USDINR has given due respect to those levels and bounced back from there. The pair made a high of 54.48 in today's future contract in just few days.
Case in point: It is plausible to forecast freely traded markets with high accuracy but provided you have the understanding of necessary technical tools. Register yourself for the 2 days training session and learn the practical way of applying Elliott wave analysis. The course is conducted byAshish Kyal who is a Chartered Market Technician and frequently speaks on CNBC TV18. Ashishhas been providing training at number of management colleges, financial seminars, National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM) to name a few…
Schedule for Technical analysis and applying Elliott Wave Session in Mumbai is as follows:
23rd February 2013- Saturday
10:00 am – 04:00 pm
24rd February 2013- Sunday
10:00 am - 04:00 pm

Hi all
Tried to run WCE in aston 1600 and got trouble.
Most of the time it can't send ATR because of Parity of Framing Error
When it can, aston box starts to send the initial commands, which WCE answers well, but after some commands, got again Framing or Parity errors
which locks WCE and go back into wainting reset state.
When theses "errors" comes up, al data received is still OK.
parameters :
parity=even (tried odd as well)
Any way to disable the error checking in WCE ?
Anybody could use WCE in aston ?

We've been fighting real bad for so long now. He can be very mean. I've felt emotionally drained. He told me that I had to stand on my own 2 feet and he wasn't responsible for me. Last night we didn't fight but I really had to work to make that happen. But when we went to bed he put his arms around me for the first time in weeks and I felt extreme anxiety and fear. I couldn't bear it. Then this morning he asked me if I was okay and I wanted to tell him to shut up. Its like I love him but I don't want him to love me anymore?!

Since I have been on Blogger, I feel I have several readers that are new to my journal, some who leave comments and others that don't. In my sidebar you may have noticed my ClustrMap. It is so cool. I added it just out of curiosity to get an idea of whether the DBP was getting many hits. I seem to have gone international. In addition to my USA readership, I see I have repeat visitors from the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Pakistan, Australia, and someone floating around the Tropic of Cancer in the Pacific Ocean. This past week I had a visitor stop by from South America. There are a couple of hits where I cannot be certain of their origination so it is causing me to study my world geography.
In this time of global crisis, it is comforting to think that the world is actual smaller thanks to the technology that ties us together. And, if someone in Korea gets a chuckle from my cotton ball story (see Embarrassing Moments from college) it makes me feel good. Or, maybe they just think I am weird. Either way, I promise, I am no threat. Unless, of course I am in need of Dr Pepper. You've been warned.

ECB to sign US$130 billion currency swap with China.
Frankfurt, the German financial capital, intends to become a major offshore renminbi trading hub in Europe as the European Central Bank prepares to sign a swap agreement with the People's Bank of China. Frankfurt Main Finance, a financial association that represents major German banks, said the ECB will sign the currency swap with Beijing.
It said some 10% of Sino-German trade is handled in renminbi. If the agreement pushes through, it will dwarf the US$33 billion agreement recently signed by the Bank of England and PBOC, China's central bank. Frankfurt Main Finance believes that trading risk and hedging costs will fall significantly if the swap agreement is reached, which could lead to significant renminbi savings and could further boost trade between Germany and China.
Frankfurt, which is home to the ECB, is against rivals such as London, Paris and Zurich to win renminbi business for German financial institutions and exporters as China has been keen to lift the global profile of its currency.

The Latest from RQ and a VERY! Happy Birthday
"Something is in the airApril 2nd, 2008
A few people have been notified by their agency that something is in the air.
Not enough agencies reporting it yet to give us an idea of cut off from that information just yet."
So, we still don't know for sure about a cutoff date but our gut is telling us we will not see Sophia this month. We had a few hard days and a whole lot of crying, but now we are moving past that. We know we are only weeks away now and that without a doubt we will see Sophia in May. We had taken today off for my sweet hubbies birthday and the next two days just in case we would get the call with our referral. We thought about just going to work since it is not looking like that is going to happen. We decided instead to take the time and relax, regroup and finish the kitchen remodel and maybe even find that Mini Van we have been looking for (yes we are stepping into Mini Van ownership). We want to say congratulations to all our fellow waiting parents who did make the cutoff this month. We are really looking forward to sharing in your joy as you see your little ones for the first time. Thank you to everyone that commented to our blog and sent me private e-mails the love and support you have given us over the last few days (and the last 2 1/2 + years) has been overwhelming. We are so grateful to each and everyone of you, without you this would have been much hard to deal with. We feel very blessed to be part of this wonderful community and to have so many friends who care about us, Sophia will know about each of you. I have to share something very special and very sweet with all of you. I know that if you have been reading our blog you know about our good friend Wendy who lives in Savannah GA. Wendy has 2 beautiful girls who she adopted from China, Kate and Claire. Wendy and the girls have become like part of our family. We have shared many holidays together and hope to share many more. Wendy e-mailed me a simple message today that just said "read my blog today" so I did and what I saw there brought me to tears. Not sad tears but emotional heart felt tears of love, Love for Wendy and her girls. Please go HERE to read Wendy's blog.
Last but not least I want to say to my very sweet husband Happy Birthday. I know that today did not turn out quite the way we had hoped it would but none the less you are already a great DAD. I can't imagine becoming a parent with anyone else in any other way this was how it was meant to be from the beginning. I love you beyond measure and Sophia will love you the same way.

Dear Rachel Dolezal,
By now you've probably seen the articles, tweets, and blog posts talking about what you managed to accomplish. Some have supported you and called your choices harmless or "transracial;" many have criticized you and called you ignorant and labeled your charade 'modern day minstrelsy.' I'm in the latter group. Because you see Rachel. I'm black.… Read More Dear Rachel Dolezal,

He was elated when he realized that their hearts had a special connection. He was so happy that his heart was part of a resonance pair. A string will swing at its maximum when the two ends are held at a particular distance. And he was petrified out of terror, the terror of fate, when he found out that the distance that makes their connection the strongest was so large that it might break the connection altogether. What choice did he have but to walk away to that far place, because he felt that one moment of the strongest connection between them was worth everything than a lifelong bond that knows not its true extent or purpose. It is so easy to call him a fool, which he really is.
Sometimes you encounter forces so great and abusive, far beyond what is human and explainable, that you are confused whether you have to accept your imminent defeat or if you have to put all doubts about the reality of comparative strengths, and fight against the perceived injustice, which, for all we know, seems to drag on till the end, the end of either hope, or of breath. Without you knowing, you become a coward by persisting to be brave. Without you realizing, the principles you lived-by form a death trap you are destined to step on. Without you feeling, you become empty of the very emotions that once defined everything for you. Just when you realize you are too tired and cannot fight, the force pushes you down an abyss that you believed cannot go any deeper than where you already are. You are overridden with rage, that even in the moments that you believe are your last ones, the force still expects you to put up a fight. The rage helps you recover some sanity, and strength, and fight a little longer before everything circles back to your waning hope and tiring soul. It is as if the force throws you down a very deep abyss and the only way out is that you, a human, must grow wings to get out of the darkness and gloom. All the poems you wrote about flying don't really mean anything, unless of course you find someone who makes you believe that you are not actually falling, but flying. Well, that again brings everything to the great and abusive force that snatches your only light, and the whole things repeats till the end, the end of either hope, or breath.
Weekly Writing Challenge: A Pinch of You
This week, we want a window into the complexity that is you. We want the recipe for all the bits and pieces and quirks and foibles and loves that make you you.
This is going to be long, brace yourself.
Although my recipe, the me, does has flesh as one of its large number of ingredients, it is vegetarian. So, you can expect to find a , somewhere on my body, although I'd highly recommend that you don't go searching for it. I simply can't seem to make a list of all the ingredients that make the recipe. Even the thought of making such an effort is sucking away all the vitamins from me.
*Suddenly, a magnet enters the creation room*
Oh! No! Stop! Stop! Noooo!!! Not my iron, nooooo!
*Magnet escapes with the loot*
Why me! Why is the world so cruel and unfair!
Low on iron, the recipe was going to end up being tall and skinny, being able to both reach for the high apple in the garden of Eden and being blown away by a quiet breeze right before I pluck it. Darn! Someone added fate without my knowledge and I hardly know what effect it will have on the final recipe. Who was it? Is he the one who sent the magnet? Why?
Later, by a happy accident, philosophy slipped into the cauldron in which raw good and evil were getting cooked at such high temperatures, the solution looked redder than what lava would look like if it was blushing. Although at first it did seem like a happy accident, I soon realized that it would have been better if it happened, maybe, 10 years later. The cauldron has been on flame for only 17 years, that poor thing exploded after philosophy got mixed into it, it was like a burden from then on. I looked at the world with disbelief, the stark diversity of a man's actions, swinging from extreme evil to extreme godliness.
I needed to heal my wounds after that explosion, which kind of caused people to discriminate me, like an untouchable, although not in the complete literal sense. To be precise, the explosion made me an introvert. I added analytical and factual reasoning to my reality, the science of deduction, as Sherlock Holmes would call it. I saw people make choices, I saw what led to their choices, what the choices made them. It all made sense. I saw people abuse power, I saw humble people crumble to dust. I saw a writing on the wall. But I am only 20, it all weighed too much upon me. I needed to vent these fumes of restlessness, rage and realization. I needed another world.
And I then added love, faith, hope and trust. This helped the ticking bomb in me stay dormant. Nature was always a part of the recipe, what fellow humans couldn't contribute to my recipe, nature did and with love. Although, sometimes, her fury would scare the crap out of every living thing. But hey, she is not angry for no reason, she has us humans to deal with. Just beside this cauldron was a kettle in which a mixture of experiences was being boiled. The kettle started rattling fervently. Gosh! What is wrong now. Maybe I have to get some experiences off my heart. So I took out a cup of the contents from the kettle and poured it into a mold called writing. It conjured interesting shapes and patterns, and that gave a little peace to my mind in midst of such a buzzing ambiance.
Writing gave my recipe a new dimension, and only then did I realize how much I needed it. Even before my recipe(the me) was complete, which is going to take 40-60 years depending on the course of action humans take to counter the growing insensitivity in humans and the global warming triggered by them, I was able to visit new worlds through imagination and other manifestations of the burning need to express. So, I soon kind of learned the craft of multitasking. I faded in and out of all these worlds, all the same trying to continue completing my recipe in this world. But sometimes I am lost in thought, wondering if I have to regret not taking the orthodox path to cooking. The general approach of the youth in this world, that seems to have so much energy and fun in it. But the reasons why I chose the path I am currently on quickly surface back to the fore and I continue stirring. But my recipe would be incomplete, no matter how much mastery I learn, if all coal became ashes, if all the water is evaporated and if all the fire was dead. What am I saying? That I need help. Love. Trust. Faith. Freedom. They make up the air I breathe and in their absence, I move to my end quickly.
If you made it this far, visitor, then I bow to you and thank you.
We all find ourselves at the mercy of a chilly night or an empty street at one time or another during our lives with no companion to warm our shoulders that dropped at the prospect of having to face terrible hardships alone. None, not even the ones that we believed loved us the most, cared for us the most. We often look everywhere for our missing pen while we were holding it all along in our very own hands. At every phase of our life we have someone by our side who strengthens us. But there are also these periods when we are alone and left to fight on our own. But we know we can't make it out alive unless we get help. And that is when you seek the help of your companion you have been overlooking. It is you. It is the hope within you.

I wrote this haiku a long time back. While I was struggling with the block, I started mashing up photography and poetry to help myself out of the sluggish writer's block. It kind of worked. To write words and tie them together seemed a mighty task. But slowly, with the help of photographs and some Photoshop skills, I started to get back on track to writing and blogging again. So now that the story behind posting this, drop your comments and share your thoughts about the haiku. Link back to your posts, I'd gladly read them. I can't write good stuff if I don't read good stuff!
of all symphonies reverberating in the yonder,
one magically hooked my soul and made me fly.
and as I soared,
a myriad of worlds unknown, flashed before my eyes,
each one looking so much like home,
I felt like seeking asylum in every such world,
regardless of what it had to offer,
sorrow or serendipity.
of all symphonies reverberating in the yonder,
one magically hooked my soul and made me fly.
my consciousness. my conscience.

Many of the believers in god blindly believe in things like these, that 'are said to'cleanse their souls and wipe off all the sins they committed. Many ARE CONVINCED that they become good by taking a holy dip or doing a holy prayer or something. Let me tell you, these people are blind. Blinded by faith in the unknown and unseen, and blinded by lust for the material and mundane. These are the people who have no guilty conscience, or just a little may be. These people go to temples and offer huge amounts of money and gold and BELIEVE that their future is secure and that they have bribed their god enough to let them off any crimes and sins they committed. And god isn't helping either, because they really seem to be getting away from what they deserve for everything they did. India is the biggest hypocrite on the world map. The world would be half a better place than it is now if these people started believing in undoing their wrongs, not 'devote' themselves t0 'god' in reparation.
I have never really ventured into writing romance before. I did, but only as parts of a larger poem with a different theme. And now I try. Although I have to say, when I write, romance will never stand alone. It will have a touch(or more) of heartbreak, and more importantly, hope. Hope of impossible magnitude.

I don't know why, when i saw the prompt the first thing to come to mind was "alive or dead, peace.".
maybe due the ever eluding peace, for which runs a daily quest for me and that my tired mind and soul longs for a piece of it.
And peace = dove, as many things i relate to nature. And i thought of presenting it this way.
And later when i was half way through, i remembered a childhood story : hunter kills a pigeon but the pigeon's wife gives shelter to hunter,
to satisfy and do justice to the dharma of comforting the guests, she jumps into flames to become the food for the guest.
My story, i think, was almost the same. So, i thank that childhood story and whoever wrote it.
Suggestions and corrections are most welcome, I'm still learning Haiku.
This post is an entry in Haiku Challenge for April 2012 at Haiku Heights. The prompt being 'alive'.
you are in for a long set of haiku ( abberated ones ), have patience if you can manage. 🙂
O' Love, in thy arms,
of forgiveness, is written
mine exile, hidden
~ ~ ~
O' Love, in thy arms,
of forgiveness, a thriving man,
who hurt thee in past
~ ~ ~
O' Love, in thy arms,
of forgiveness, a broken man,
who hurt thee, never
~ ~ ~
O' Love, thine virtue
hath me breathing hard, why blind,
what sin i doth thus?
~ ~ ~
O' Love, thine virtue,
forgiveness, hadst me exiled,
someone else got closer.
~ ~ ~
O' Love, speak 'least now,
i question not in arrogance,
what sin i doth thus?
~ ~ ~
if to -try to ebb
thine pains served by life- is to
sin, then i did sin.
~ ~ ~
if to -hide my name,
in humility- is to
sin, then i did sin.
~ ~ ~
O' Love, what hadst i
done, that hath me pushed into
this vile emptiness.
~ ~ ~
O' Love, in angst, i,
ask thee to see, difference,
in love and true love.
~ ~ ~
O' Love, in thy arms,
of forgiveness, is written
mine exile, hidden.
~ ~ ~
archaic (old English) words :
hath = has
hast = have
hadst = had
thy / thine = your
thou / thee = you
doth = do / does
~ ~ ~
i started writing it as a haiku,
but the inner feelings caught me in a grip and dictated me to write this, even if there were abberations from the rules of haiku
~ ~ ~
one thing i want to tell not in haiku :
forgiveness is a great virtue,
a very great one indeed,
but in excess of it,
shall, many a time,
sinners thrive,
while all along, good ones get the woeful plate of plight.
how strange.
how harsh.
how forgiving ( yes, sarcastic in deed ).
~ ~ ~
This post is an entry in Haiku Challenge for April 2012 at Haiku Heights. The prompt being "forgive".
forgive : i feel it is a tough word in general and a tough word for a haiku too.
so here's my try :
" thou hast my lady,
hurt her not, forgive she may,
as lost love, i won't "
~ ~ ~
i donno if people can get what i tried to tell, i would just say that this haiku's fictional context is
" my love is with an other man, her only man (she never was mine, in fact), but i still love her, for eternity.
and i warn ( not in grudge, but in a concerned urge, for my lady) him, as she chose him, above me,
i warn him not to disappoint her or hurt her because i wouldn't if i was him.
O' love,
lost love."

~ ~ ~
rush of emotions //
concern, love, care, anger, frustration //
too small a heart that is mine //
wants a shoulder to rest upon //
wants a hand to pat its back //
but all the emotions have made mine heart too hot //
that it is almost burning //
and everyone backed away //
forget hands patting my back //
i hardly hear anyone breathing close to me, distances as they are, grew //
and the one breath i hear is mine; one I hardly see any meaning in //
too harsh it would be, if i gave up //
too painful it is already, to carry on //
i said to myself,
" If destiny decides that I be alone, so be it. "

Today, on my way to work, I was thinking that if life doesn't go well for me as a cartoonist or whatever the fuck it is that I want to be, I might be a funeral director.
I know, morbid right? Well, I've always been a pretty morbid person, and the handling of the dead is an important job. I know I'm generally very blasé about this; sometimes I feel that people revere the bodies of the dead more than is necessary. They are, after all, just the husks of what once was. But I suppose that the body of a loved one is the last link that anyone would have with them, so I can see why people are so uptight about it.
The thing I really don't like is the embalming process. When you die, they drain all your blood out of you and replace it with embalming fluid, which is a pretty harmful carcinogenic chemical. Then they place you in coffins lined with cement, and stick you in a hole six feet under, which is a depth that is too deep for bodies to properly break down anyway. The big problem with this is that you never get a chance to decompose naturally, and as a result, sit in your cement-lined casket for ages and ages, turning into toxic sludge. Not cool, you guys.
A year or two ago, I read this great article about Green Burials. Now, I am the last person you should ever call a hippie, but these eco-friendly burials really appealed to me. I read an article (I really wish I could remember where I read it) that explained it all, and it sounded pretty cool.
Basically, instead of the traditional chemical embalming fluid, they use a vegetable-based one. Then you're placed in a biodegradable "container" (okay, I'll admit that the use of the word 'container' weirded me out a little bit) and are placed in a whole 4 feet deep, rather than 6 feet. Instead of a typical cemetery, the picture in the article showed what looked like a forest that is set aside for burials. There are no tombstones, but families can choose to have a rock or a tree placed on top of the final resting spot. I just thought this sounded so much more... I dunno, peaceful. Pleasant. And I really like the idea that you would be able to break down naturally. To become part of the soil and all other living things is how we can actually achieve immortality.
So, in case life does fail me, I think I will become and eco-friendly funeral director. The only thing that actually put me off the job was all the schooling -- 2 to 4 years! And that part of the courses involve boring computer stuff. Yes, I am more put off by that than by the actual handling of dead bodies.
The only reason I was really afraid of dead bodies before was because of zombies, and now I'm kind of a zombie fan, if you will. I remember seeing my first one. I was 15, and my mum had dragged us to the funeral of a friend of my dad's. I hadn't wanted to go, but my mum said that we had to stick together as a family. Pfft, whatever. It was a Saturday and I had better shit to do, like sleeping in.
It was an open casket funeral, unfortunately. He was an old guy, and he looked... Jesus, grey. It was awful. His face was sagging back against the pillow, I suppose because his muscles weren't holding everything in place. He didn't look like he was peaceful or sleeping at all, he just looked dead dead dead. I was frozen in front of his casket, petrified. I felt ill. After, I cried a little bit, and everyone nodded sympathetically to me. But I wasn't crying because it was sad, I was crying because it had shocked me really badly. Then we had to wait outside as the slowly lowered him into the neatly dug grave. It seemed lacking in any real care though, because they just used a machine to lower him in. I dunno, it seems like it would have been more respectful to do that yourself. Anyway, we stayed after all the people had gone, only to see a mini excavator roll over and pack the earth and turf on top of him. I found it really eerie, like they were erasing all proof that he had ever existed.
I am fairly interested in the trade though. The mortician part might take a little getting used to, but it sounds like you could make a pretty decent living off of it. Funeral directors typically make about $50,000 per year. More than I'd make as some kind of cartoonist, that's for sure.
How did I get so sick and twisted, you may be wondering? That's a good question. Let me know when you figure it out.

|Question for the day!
Our new 2012 gallery shop space features the work of over 150 craft-artists. Question: What if you wanted (in one giant shopping trip) to visit each and every one of our 150+ Canadian craft persons studio's , "How far would you travel?"
Well, if you happened to (conveniently) start driving from the west coast of Canada, where coincidentally our newest crafts person lives and finished your shopping trip here in the gallery at King's Point, NL...how many kilometers would it all end up to be?
Start the drum roll please.........................the answer is ...............................about 24,000 kms. (Considering you could drive half way around the world with that kind of mileage..it really is a rather big distance.)
Sooo... why not make a very short journey down to our new craft gallery, just 12 km's off the TCH to King's Point and see all 24,000 kilometers worth of fine Canadian Craft. (Just think, it'll be almost like saving 23, 988 kms!)
Happy travels to all.

The American Legion is in New York. Five hundred thousand jostling uniforms take possession of midtown Gotham. Traffic comes to a standstill. False alarms are turned in from a score of fire boxes. Signs are torn from trolley cars. Police confiscate revolvers, even a one-pound cannon. Two legionnaires die unknown and violent deaths. Soon there will be interminable military music, and for 18 1-2 hours the conquerors of New York are marching up Fifth Avenue.
They're here. Newspaper readers outside the city read about the impressive display with thrills of patriotic pride. New York merchants and hostel keepers warm to an inflow of money. Seven million New York civilians, now living in a state of joyous excitement, will be glad when the invaders go, for military shows are still so rare in this country as to be terrifying.
Then they are gone. For another year middle aged men will be saving their dollars for the annual blow out. They fought two wars, for the Star spangled banner and for the boius; in all truth they are entitled to some fun. A half a million marchers, a half a million upstretched arms, or, if you will, a half a million votes where they will do the most good.
The American Legion is one of the strongest factors in American politics. It is the most powerful of the militantly military influences on contemporary American opinion. Americans might wish not to have it; yet Americans can thank their lucky stars that they have it, can be grateful that the United States' most highly organized mob is comprised of men who have both already fought in action and who are approaching the age of ineligibility. Americans can be thankful that the Fascist marching spirit hasn't swept her young men off their feet--yet.

Time Management Tips For Lawyers
For attorneys, it's all too common to find yourself with too much work to get done, and not enough time to get it done in. This is especially true if you're a solo practitioner or if you run a small practice. A study of non-billable hours in law firms of various sizes and areas of practice reveals that many attorneys are billable for as little as 24 percent of the hours they spend working, and most are billable for less than half of their work hours. Even if your firm operates on fixed fee matters, optimizing your time can help you work on more matters in the same amount of time. So, how can you manage your time wisely?
- Track And Analyze: Start by tracking how you spend your day for a week or two, then look carefully at the results. Once you know where you're spending most of your time, you can make a careful plan of attack. Obviously some non-billable tasks like business development are critical and really require your time and expertise to be successful. Other tasks are just time-suckers; they have to be done, but there are more expedient ways to do them than spending your own time on them.
- Make A Plan For Tomorrow: End each work day by making a detailed and prioritized plan for the following day. Plan in some time to deal with unexpected issues, but don't leave big gaps in your schedule or you'll likely find yourself filling those in with busywork.
- Start Strong: Start each day by tackling the thing you most dread doing, because once that's out of the way, the rest of the day feels like a downhill run. Plan it, commit to it, stick to it. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish with the rest of your day when you feel like you've attained beast mode by 10:00 a.m.
- Insulate Yourself From Time-Suckers: You can easily avoid some of the things that disrupt your workflow throughout the day, such as answering the phone. Set aside phone hours to return calls and hire someone to take messages outside of those hours. For repetitive administrative tasks, such as preparing forms, use software packages that automate those tasks and cut your production time.

Reflection in the Face of Adversity
The past 15 months have been more than a little challenging and my life has been filled with ups, downs and sideways twists. As we close out 2014 I want to look back and reflect on the good and bad things that have happened in my life and really focus on how I can prepare to make 2015 a year to remember…not for the challenges but for the successes. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of good things that happened to me, but for the most part, those good things were wrapped up in darkness and it was only through really looking for the good in it, was I able to come out the other side…whole. The following is one of those sentences that no English teacher would ever say was ok…but you see…I just have to get it out. You see, in the past 15 months I was asked to walk away from a company that I still to this day have strong connections to and if asked would go back without hesitation, I lost my Grandfather … Read more

I dont know what it is, but so far this season has sucked....Not near as much bird activity than previous season's. I got six opening day, and thats it so far??????????
Migration delayed?
anyone have a clue?
I dont know what it is, but so far this season has sucked....Not near as much bird activity than previous season's. I got six opening day, and thats it so far??????????
Migration delayed?
anyone have a clue?
Other than onesy, twoseys that have likely been here all summer -- I haven't seen any real movement or sign in the couple times I have been out looking either. I have seen geese #s coming through but no ducks to speak of. New to Alaska -- I was wondering the same thing -- have they even started to move? The "First Day" post reflects similar conclusions -- low numbers . . .
The migration will pick up and the opening weekend warriors will die off as it gets colder. It does seem like there is a smaller number of local birds this year but the weather hasn't been very cooperative either. If things don't pick up throughout the week, I'll have to make a road trip with the boat in tow.
I've had the same experience. I usually see more birds the first week or two than I've been seeing. The teal have for the most part been absent. They are usually here in hgher numbers the first 2 weeks.
I've noticed the low numbers as well, which is unusual based off of previous seasons beginning numbers. Looking foward to a good front to move in some new birds.
I'd like to talk with a biologist about this. I have been on DL daily for the past 5 mornings, today didn't even fire a shot. Since these are all local ducks we are shooting here now, its the local population that is down. Also, since the majority, maybe 90% of the ducks we see, are this years hatch, its obvious that the nesting and reproduction this season is down in this area. Havn't seen or looked for reports specifically from the Fbk area or Bristol Bay area, etc, so my firsthand knowledge is limited to observation over the past 5 days. In addition, the abnormal amount of rain we have had may be a huge factor. Possibly a lot of nests this spring/early summer were washed out, eggs gone bad due to rain, or coolness with the rain, etc. Maybe even some flooded nests. For some reason the natural production is way down. We can only hope that the areas the Northern birds come from had a better nesting season and we get lots of Northern ducks coming through to save the season. I had high hopes for this being the best waterfowl season ever for me, I worked dilligently to have the equip I needed to hunt my chosen area, and know that in past years they have had some super seasons. Just not working out for this year so far, but not giving up on it yet. Bud
Im expecting to see lower than normal numbers of all birds this year. While my experiance with ducks is somewhat limited, cool wet summers are never good for grouse numbers and ptarmagin have frequantly followed simular paterns.

The 3 fold way: Every step we take as we walk through life effects, our family, our comunity and ourselves. One should walk thoughtfuly.
I just got back from Healy Lake, over Delta Jct way. Saturday night we saw maybe 15 to 20 birds, not including a nice group of swans that came in close and showed off. Those birds were so far away I could not even tell what they were.
I did not hunt Sunday morning, but again Sunday night pretty much the same. This morning I changed up tactics a bit and walked the edge of some marsh. I was pretty sure nobody had been there this year, but the ducks were scarce.
I did knock down a mallard hen that my young lab ran a good mark on, other than that, it was very slow.
I have hunted the lake since 1972 and I think this is the slowest I've ever seen it. The only guys that seemed to get any shooting were the ones running and gunning or shooting after hours.
Maybe I need to go back and see if my luck will hold out on cranes again. The ducks sure don't seem worth tackling, at least not yet.

I've been absent from the blog world for quite awhile. The last several weeks for me have been all about school work, ministry, & pneumonia...that's right pneumonia. Needless to say, it's been fun! Last night I wrapped up my 1st term of the fall semester & now have a little time to devote back to writing & sharing some of the stuff I'm picking up about life, ministry, & leadership. And fittingly, one of my favorite coaches has yet again provided me with great material.
I'm not ashamed to say I love Bill Belichikc. I've written about him before here & here in regard to what I saw as some arrogance that had crept into his decision making, but in the last couple of weeks the coach returned to his roots. Recently, Belichick & the Patriots traded away one of the best receivers ever in Randy Moss. Then last week the team brought Deion Branch, a former receiver, back to the team. On paper, this is not exactly what you would call an upgrade. Randy Moss is a hall of famer; Deion Branch virtually disappeared upon leaving New England. However, in his first game back & only 4 days after joining the team, Branch has a huge game yesterday. What's the point?
The point is that Bill Belichick is a great leader because he knows how to put people in just the right place so that not only are they successful but they help the entire team. Sometimes that means letting someone go because their time with the team is over, even though they are still talented; other times it means bringing in a guy that no one else wants & putting them in the just the right place so that the player and the team are better. He may be the best at doing that.
That's what separates good leaders from great leaders. Good leaders can utilize team members who bring a lot to the game, but great leaders see beyond the obvious talent & are able to see exactly how a player can be positioned so that the player & the team experiences great success. It's no accident that Belichick is considered a genius by many in the NFL. He knows exactly where he wants his team to go, & he understands how to position every member of that team so that everyone wins.
As a leader in your business or in your church, are you using people or positioning people? It's easy to use Randy Moss; he's a world class talent, but there are very few people on that level. Instead why not discover the talent that you already have, & then strategically position them for success, both their own and the team's?

Attachable Post Lifting Device to use within gravity feed and powered Dynamic Storage Racks
Publication Date: 2003-Sep-18
Publishing Venue
The IP.com Prior Art Database
An attachable post lifting device is described for freeing jammed pallets from relatively inaccessible positions.
Attachable Post Lifting Device to use within gravity feed and powered Dynamic Storage Racks
Gravity feed roller rack storage is usually configured in 35 ft to 50 ft long lanes to hold standard length pallets loaded with products. Recent applications of this roller rack were configured in 90-foot long lanes x 3 levels high (qty. 90 lanes). Lifting jammed product (on broken slats) usually has required application of levers and brute force deep within racks where extended forks on a lift truck will not reach near a jam. In lower lanes, a hoist may be rigged to components of higher lanes; in top lanes, the roof joists are not certified to use to attach lifting devices. This has forced all attempts at lifting a jammed load to be done from under the product (potential safety risk for maintenance personnel in "lifting", in pinch points, and maintaining safe footing).
The attachable lifting post is a unique device, designed specifically for use within dynamic storage racks. It may be (1) carried within a long rack bay, (2) threaded up thru the open space between pallets (full pallet loads may remain in place under the jammed pallet), (3) set in place on its base plate, (4) main lower exterior post bolted to a cross member low near the floor, (5) intermediate and/or final interior post raised till block & tackle set is above the jam, then posts bolted fixed into extended position (6) then upper post may be clamped or bolted in a fairly rigid position to higher cross members.

text: Beautiful, sweet Holly, I adore her. Born 03-07-10 out of black sire and torte dam. Holly continues to amaze me with her extraordinary wool density and overall quality. In these pictures her adult wool is coming in after a very short summer cut. She has the perfect ratio of guard hairs to soft wool so matting is rarely an issue and even if it was, no problem, with her loving temperment, grooming is a dream. Six month weight is 6.5 lbs, she loves to eat so I will need to watch her weight closely to keep compact body and proportions per Standards of Perfection. She currently has a healthy fat litter of 2 lilacs, 1 tort, 1 chestnut, lynx and possible cinnamon agouti...all kits are people friendly, lovely woolers and ready July 6.

The Depot - History
In 1877 the Oregonian Railway Co. was established, initially by a group of area farmers who consolidated several smaller railroad companies and who were later bought out by a larger firm. Between 1878 and 1882 the Oregonian Railway built 183 miles of narrow gauge track through St. Paul, Woodburn, Mt. Angel and Silverton and on to Brownsville and Coburg. The line was mainly used to transport logs and lumber. The first spike was driven at Silverton. In 1886, Southern Pacific and Oregonian Railway merged and the track was converted to standard gauge.
The first depot was a small shed erected about 1880 – the existing depot was built in 1906 just south of the Square Deal building. Using lumber from Silverton Lumber Co., it was built in stages. In the front was the waiting room and behind was the telegraph and ticket office with steps going up to the warehouse – built higher to accommodate wagons and later on trucks for loading and unloading.

For my Birthday I decided to call, okay let's be honest, text my homegirls and invite them to a girls night out. I was toying with the idea for a while but didn't commit to actually making plans until about a week before. I was going through what a lot of moms go through when they try to make plans without their little bundles of joy, guilt. I felt guilty for wanting to have a night out without diaper changes, temper tantrums and meal refusals. I didn't want to dump the baby on my husband on one of his only nights off, just so that I could go out & get tipsy and then emotional about turning a year older in a city that worships the young. But I realized that feeling guilty about leaving OUR baby with her daddy that worships the ground that she runs on, is just silly. He'd yuck up their daddy-daughter time and I'd have a moment to catch up with friends and my sanity. So a couple nights before the ol' Bday, out we went to enjoy the terrible service, strong cocktails, and amazing deserts that West Hollywood has to offer…
The next morning I woke up with a stomachache and a slight hangover, but more importantly a grateful heart. Grateful to have badass ladies in my life willing to take the time off to spend a night with a mama they don't get to see very often these days. Grateful to catch up and laugh until my belly hurt. Grateful that my friends don't mind me gushing over my daughter and shoving pictures of her in their face all night one bit. Grateful to have such a beautiful little girl who looks at mommy like she's the moon, even when waking up in hangover hell with last night's smoky eye smeared all over my face. Grateful to have a husband that supports his wife in whatever makes her happy, whether that's woooooing it up with her ladies every once in a while or heading off to sneak a silent hike up Runyon Canyon for the solitude.
Although I know that as a mom, wanting a little 'me' time isn't selfish at all, honestly, I don't really realize it. I'm slowly but surely becoming okay with it. If I feed my own soul with time for myself, everyone benefits. But sometimes it's hard to remember that, no matter how many times my husband reminds me to do so.
So a solo trip to the movies here, a little meet up with friends there, even accompanied by a camera roll full of baby pictures to sneak a peek at, can only do the mind, body & soul good.
Here's to another year of changing, growing, learning, and a smell step towards self love with self care.

From Cambridge, New York comes news that the Hubbard Hall Theater Company is staging one of Moliere's best known and loved comedies, Tartuffe. It is being directed by John Hadden, and will run weekends February 20 through March 15. It's an oldie but goodie, a satiric masterpiece that is full of laughs, insights and naughty plot twists.
Tartuffe is a scoundrel who can don any pose and become a master of it. Tartuffe, professing extreme piety, is taken into the household of Orgon, a wealthy man. Under the guise of ministering to the family's spiritual and moral needs, he almost destroys Orgon's family. Hypocrisy gone wild. Religious posturing, deceit. Legal entanglements. Wonderful absurdity.
Considered quite scandalous when first produced in 1664, Tartuffe is now is one of the most famous theatrical comedies by Molière. The characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Orgon are considered among the greatest classical theater roles. In response to criticism of the time Moliere responded "The comic is the outward and visible form that nature's bounty has attached to everything unreasonable, so that we should see, and avoid, it. To know the comic we must know the rational, of which it denotes the absence and we must see wherein the rational consists . . . incongruity is the heart of the comic".
The Cast of Tartuffe includes Peter returning Hubbard hall favorites Doug Ryan (The Miser, The Elephant Man, Seascape) as Tartuffe, Peter Delocis (Hadrian VII, Merrily We Roll Along) as Madame Pernelle; Tony Pallone (Ondine, Merrily We Roll Along) as Orgon; Aleda Bliss (Madwoman of Chaillot, As You Like It) as Elmire; Scott Renzoni (King Lear, Ondine, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, Amadeus) as Cléante; Kim Johnson Turner (Man of LaMancha, The Elephant Man, Night of the Iguana, A Doll's House) as Dorine; and, Benjie White (Madwoman of Chaillot, The Drawer Boy)as Monsieur Loyal. The cast is rounded out by newer members of the Company Jack Boggan as Damis, Delaney Smith as Mariane, Digby Baker-Porazinski as Valère, Adam Shulmanas Laurent/Officer and Audrey Roosevelt as Flipote
A pay-what-you-will open rehearsal will take place of Thursday, February 19 at 8:00pm. Opening night is Friday, February 20 at 8:00pm and is preceded by an Opening Night Dinner at 6:00pm. The play continues weekends through March 15 with performances on Fridays at 8:00pm, Saturdays at 2:00pm and 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Please note the additional matinee offerings on Saturdays. Tickets are $27 general admission, $24 members and $15 for students 11 and older.
Tickets may be purchased at www.hubbardhall.org, by calling 518-677-2495 or at the door.
Hubbard Hall Center for the Arts and Education, located in a renovated 1878 rural opera house and adjacent former freight yard complex, is a community arts center dedicated to bringing the best of the arts to the region with year-round theater, music and dance performances and classes and workshops for all ages and skill levels.

Raised Bed Gardening
Gone are the days where it is necessary to have a large lot or a farm to grow vegetables, herbs and
This form of gardening is great. It allows for creative gardening that otherwise could not exist for smaller spaces, however, there are two important reasons why I use them. It allows me to get a better harvest due to the benefits of raised beds and it reduces the strain on my back and knees.
Microclimate and other Benefits
The benefits of having a raised bed are phenomenal. Why do you ask? They create a microclimate which suppresses weed growth and conserves moisture, also raised beds are not walked on, so there is no compaction of the soil, allowing the plant's roots to grow easily producing a higher yield.
The vegetable or flower plants are spaced closer together rather than in a conventional bed. Plants are planted in sort of a geometric pattern or (block pattern) and the spacing is done as to allow for plant maturity (ie., beets 4-6" by 4-6").
When this is done properly, the leaves just slightly touch each other. This creates a microclimate which suppresses weed growth and conserves moisture.
A good thing to keep in mind when filling your planter is to use only weed-free and compost rich well-drained soil. This will give you beautiful healthy plants and delicious vegetables for seasons to come. Speaking of seasons to come, raised beds are also a good way to extend the growing season.
In addition to the healthy benefits, they are used to control erosion by building them along slopes, which in turn will both recycle and conserve water as well as nutrients.
Materials and Construction
The raised beds should be three-to-four-foot-wide (1.0-1.2m) beds and can be in any length or shape
you choose. In these type of beds, the soil is raised above the surrounding soil anywhere from (six inches to waist-high) and is enclosed by a frame made from wood, rock, concrete blocks, and you may even want to integrate the use of metal in your construction.
you choose. In these type of beds, the soil is raised above the surrounding soil anywhere from (six inches to waist-high) and is enclosed by a frame made from wood, rock, concrete blocks, and you may even want to integrate the use of metal in your construction.
Choose the materials carefully for your vegetable bed construction due to the concerns with pressure treated wood (pressure treated pine that has been treated with Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCC), a toxic chemical mix used to treat wood that can leach into the soil and be absorbed into the plants that are then eaten. If you want to use wood, Cedar is best, it is rot resistant and safe for plants.
Concrete blocks are a safe alternative, inexpensive, and easy to use. They may not be aesthetically pleasing.....but you can put your whimsy on it.
You can also use pavers, stepping stones and recycled plastic.
Waist High Bed
Determine the height by measuring from your waist to the ground with a tape measure, this will give you a waist height that is appropriate for you. Decide what length you want and the typical width is 3 to 5 foot.
I have included this link for instructions - DIY Waist High Planter Box - This is an awesome planter box by MidnightMaker.
I hope you enjoyed this post today and if you have any ideas on raised beds, please share. I would love to hear from you.

dollywood here we come! i used to give this theme park a lot of grief... i think it's the name or maybe the cheesy billboards. that all came to an end after the first time i visited. as i mentioned last year, this is just the coolest park. in the clean and friendly department, it rivals disney world. the park is situated 'in' the mountains and the huge trees create a glorious ambiance. plus i love the rustic/retro/country feel throughout.
this was the first year we made it through the entire park. we discovered so many new things. like this water ride... it warns; "you will get wet." we got soaked.
the picture above was taken after our soaking.
my big kids had a blast... blasting us with water guns from the sides.
baby evie was and is the dream baby. i never thought a baby this chilled out, content, easy to please and perfect in every way could be a blood relative. the other 6 grandchildren (as babies) were on the run and pretty high maintenance.
after a week with this baby, i know without a doubt she is perfect.
and the perfect helper award goes to...
my sweet anna katherine.
she is the apple of her cousins eye and an awesome babysitter!
worth her weight in gold... if she could only be just as sweet to her sister.
it was SO much fun having a two year old at a theme park.
his pure excitement was intoxicating!bennett adores this child (as do we all) when he was helping him on the rides i would shout across the gate, "smile roger. smile. smile for honey, smile for your daddy." then i would catch myself... my son holding him and shout again, "smile for your daddy. but this is your cousin for anyone who is listening. this is not the baby daddy." i've only watvhed teen moms twice and i'm scared.
bennett is not a fan of theme park rides. he deems them unsafe. all of them. jimmy neutron is convinced the risk of human error is too great. but he did agree to the bumper cars.
we are pretty exhausted... but having a great time!
