From time to time folks ask me questions about the Our Cyber World series. Just as often, I wonder whether folks have questions about how I've structured this series, among other details. Here's my effort to address some of these queries. Note that as I provide answers, I will do so with minimal to no spoilers.
Question 1: Is this series just about hackers and cyber warfare?
The series covers a number of topics. Rather than focus on a specific aspect of the cyber world we live in, each story explores one aspect of that world. With each telling, a different protagonist and set of characters lead the way. Often characters from other stories in the series make cameo appearances, or even take on significant supporting roles. Where most series may portray a specific character living within a narrow set of "mission parameters," we see Our Cyber World happens in a more threaded, multi viewpoint approach.
Question 2: Do I need to read the books in order?
As the previous Q&A might suggest, the multi-threaded, multi-viewpoint nature of Our Cyber World enables a reader to jump in and start exploring with any of the books. You might find a reference here or there to a previous story, but these are never essential to understanding the current story. I would encourage you to browse through the book summaries, see which one strikes your fancy, and go with it.
Question 3: OK, but would you recommend a specific order?
Oh, well, since you put it that way, it might make most sense to start with book 1, DEAD BEEF. After that, however, you can pretty much go in any direction. For example you can go to book 2, Pink Ballerina or read its prequel, Active Shooter. Decisive Moment is pretty close to a stand-alone story, sharing only some of the characters and a couple of faint references to the other books. Soon to come out Beisbol Libre will build on the series starter, and more than any of the other books, I'd recommend reading it after DEAD BEEF.
Question 3: Is there a common theme or idea that runs through all these stories?
Boy, that's a toughie. I didn't set out to make any particular point with these stories, in the process of spinning fun yarns a few themes and ideas have popped up on their own. Technology and the role it plays in our lives keeps coming up. I try to stay away from the overdone "technology is ruining our lives" construct, but the topic of how humans misuse technology does come up often. At one point a piece of technology shows more of a conscience than the humans that designed it. Ouch. Above all, though, you will find these stories relaying the frailties of the human condition, exploring how we make decisions, in particular when doing so out of self-interest rather than under the guidance of some moral code or compass.
Question 4: Which character appears in all the stories?
Well, that's a tricky question I can't answer without a spoiler. I'll answer it this way: no one human character appears in all of these stories. Sorry, that's as far as I can elaborate.
Question 5: Does Our Cyber World have any connection to your other series, Tracking Jane?
Hmm. Another tricky question. For those of you paying close attention, you may find your answer in Rover, episode 2 of the Tracking Jane series, and if not, by the end of Tahoe-1, episode 3. But the answer should become clear if you compare Beisbol Libre (book 5 of Our Cyber World) vs. Brownie (episode 4 of Tracking Jane).
Question 6: Who is your favorite character?
Come on. That's like asking who's your favorite child. You probably have one, but you'll never admit it out loud. Or you shouldn't, anyway. I will say that I've been surprised by how much I've come to admire a couple of the female characters that inhabit Our Cyber World. In many ways, they act more admirably and selflessly than their Y-chromosome-equipped counterparts. In many cases the guys couldn't make it without them. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this, but I certainly didn't plan the stories to show that. It happened more or less like it often happens in real life. Interesting, huh?
Question 7: What plans for future releases do you have for this series?
As I mentioned already, Beisbol Libre will come out soon (by the end of December, 2014). Beyond that, I am drafting a couple of ideas. In development, Ghost Writer features Vivian Matisse (from Decisive Moment) in the lead as a memoir writer for Cynthia Spencer. In addition, a prequel going back to Martin Spencer's earlier days and featuring his love interest at the time as the protagonist/hacker, tentatively titled Feral, is also in the works.
Bonus question: How did you come up with precisely seven questions?
While I'm rather sure there are fewer or more than seven questions about this series, blog experts everywhere swear that sticking a number in the title of a blog post hooks more people. If this Q&A goes viral, then I'll have an answer to my question: "Is this advice bunk, yet another mystical gimmick, or does it really work?" In the meantime, seven is a cool number.
Update question: Do you have a diagram that shows how all these stories interrelate?
Why, yes, I do! Check it out here…

Should School Children Be Allowed to Bring Mobile Phone to School?
Usually school students are not allowed to leave the vicinity of school without their parents. Meanwhile if they have any problems the school administration will contact their parent and inform them of the situation. So, mobile phone is unnecessary for children's.
Mobile phone could also cause distraction while learning. For instance reading SMS or playing games in class while teacher is teaching may distract the attention. They may loose concentration in studies. It is also easier for students to cheat in their tests by using mobile phones. They can communicate to their friends through SMS and there is a possibility of the entire textbook to be stored in a smart phone.
Using mobile phones at school might create discrimination among students. At some point this discrimination may tempt students to be involve in crimes such as theft or mugging the mobile phones.
Students are not matured individuals. Some students might misuse the mobile phones. For instance they might record gang fights or an act of booling using their mobile phone. They might use these recording to blackmail those involved. They could also post the video clip on the Internet and tarnish the good name of a school with just one isolated incident.
In a nutshell / In conclusion due to the in maturity of students mobile phone should not be allowed in schools.

Freedom Forum Conference Center, Carroll Hall
Brendan Eich developed the coding language JavaScript and helped found the Mozilla Foundation, an open source wing of Netscape. In 2005, Eich became chief technology officer of Mozilla Corporation, the foundation's profit-making arm. In 2014, Eich was made CEO. After 11 days, Eich resigned under pressure from employees, consumers and board members. Eich was forced out because of money he donated in support for California's Proposition 8, a ballot initiative to change the state's constitution to include a provision that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
Was Eich's firing ethical? The UNC Ethics Bowl Team will debate this and related questions, and then the audience will be invited to join in. The Freedom Forum Conference Center is on the third floor of Carroll Hall.
These are the student debaters:

A high-powered committee headed by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today approved development plans (DPs) of five pilgrimage destinations.
DPs for Shri Sant Gulabrao Maharaj's birth place at Loni (Rs 6.70 crore), Shri Kshetra Riddhapur (Rs 25 crore), Shri Sant Gulabrao Maharaj Bhaktidham, Shirasgaon Band (Rs 24.99 crore) -- all three in Amaravati district -- and Shri Sant Sakharam Maharaj at Risod in Washim district (Rs 20 crore) and Shri Kshetra Jyotiba in Kolhapur (Rs 25 crore) were approved.

The DPs shouldn't be construction-oriented but have sustainability approach, the CM said.

My brother in law is a huge pecan pie fan. Bryan and I have had the privilege of meeting with him and his sweet fiancee for their premarital counseling over the past few months. They are getting married in August and we are so excited for them!!
I meant to make these bars for them two times ago but didn't have time. The last time we met the only thing I had planned for dinner was these bars.
I'm not usually a huge pecan pie fan but I LOVED these bars! The bottom layer is a thick layer of flaky short bread. The middle is gooey pecan-y goodness. The top caramelizes into a thin nutty layer.
The verdict from our resident pecan pie fan? He went back for seconds… and then thirds :) It's a winner!!
It's best with ice cream… although I like to douse mine with a little bit of chocolate sauce to get a little derby pie flair.
Okay, a LOT of chocolate sauce :)
Hershey's works, but if you have some leftover homemade sauce or glaze… it's just fabulous.
Pecan Pie Bars

I felt the nostalgia for my country for a long time. It's strange that the more I live in the US the more often I feel the need to go to Russia. Last time my husband and I went there last winter and it turned out worse that I dreamed about it.
The very first misadventure happened on the day when we were supposed to fly from LAX to Moscow to then catch a flight to my city called Chelyabinsk. Long story short, I had two Russian passports in the document drawer - one was expired and another one was new. It turned out that I took an expired one and we found out about it only when in the LAX at flight registration a lady asked if I had a new passport, which fist made me shocked, then made me desperate, then afraid of losing the tickets, etc. It was the worst mistake I did in my life. We ended up paying a few extra hundreds dollars to change the tickets to fly in two days. Another big failure was that it was all happening on Christmas Eve and we were supposed to be in Russian by then to celebrate my grandmother's birthday and we missed everything.
When we finally got to Russia, time went so fast. We spent there a month, but it flew by in an instant. In the middle of January I got poisoned and it was another horrible experience.
I have never been so sick before, but this time I even passed out on the floor in the bathroom and amazing things started happening to me. I felt that everything is getting dark, my ears closed and I could barely hear anything, I couldn't keep my eyes opened, and I could only hear my mom yelling to my dad "Should we call the emergency?"
When I heard it, this phrase made me get all my consciousness together and wake up! My family were very frightened but I convinced them not to call for doctor because I felt much better. They gave me hot sweet tea which was the most delicious tea I have ever drunk. It gave me strength immediately. We never realized what caused poisoning.
The month passed by and we left at night after my other grandmother's birthday. I felt very sad and unsatisfied by our trip. That's why I hope that now that I go there for a little longer and by myself I will have more time with my family and friends and enjoy it to the fullest!


text: Hi everyone, Just a question about the regular kind of slide wear you can expect to see on a Glock pistol. I got a Glock 22 in a trade with a forum member here so firstly let me say this is not a complaint or anything like that, Im just generally curious about the type of wear you can expect to see on a older more used Glock. This G22 has obviously been carried and fired alot by previous owners, It has holster wear, The barrel has the Glock 'smiley' and the grips especially on right side of the frame are pretty smooth. I have only fired one clip 15 rnds through the gun since i got it and it works fine, I have no problem with it being a little more 'used' as i intend on putting alot of rnds through it But heres the thing ...I have owned a couple of Glocks two 20's a 17 and curently own a G30 and this G22 and i have seen and handle numerous different Glocks but i have as yet never seen this kinda wear on the inside of the slide on any of them. On his G22 on the inside of the frame, On what i would describe as the guide rails, at the part of the rails closest to the barrel lug, there are two relativly deep gouges were the metal has been worn away and left a rough burr on the slide 'rails'. Is this a common point of wear on these older more used Glocks? I have never seen this before on any pistol i have handled, I have tried to take some pictures but the lighting in he house is pretty bad tonight so i guess i'll wait and post pics tommorrow. anyway as i say this is not a complaint, The gun functions fine and im happy with it, but im just curious if anyone else has seen this kind of wear before? Thanks -james

Gardening stories from across the United States, whether about 19th-century green spaces that enlivened vacant lots or community vegetable plots, are being collected and preserved through the Community of Gardens project. The digital archive from Smithsonian Gardens with the Archives of American Gardens was recently launched as a free mobile app, where you can navigate a map of over 80 gardens.
The stories, which include both historical narratives and first-person accounts, are also accessible online, where you can additionally find digital exhibitions. The Smithsonian notes that often "the important stories, designs, and memories embodied in our gardens go undocumented when these changes fade from memory."

A predominantly Muslim region in southern Russia, which declared its independence from Russia after the breakup of the Soviet Union. After unsuccessfully invading Chechnya in 1994, Russia renewed its attack in 1999 and took the capital city, Grozny. But Chechen guerrillas (see guerrilla warfare) continue to harass Russian troops in Chechnya. Russians believe that Chechens have been behind terrorist attacks in Moscow. (See terrorism.) Most nations recognize Chechnya as part of Russia.
The lawyers decided to stay in chechnya and demand investigation of illegal actions against them and their office.
He called for the homes of their families to be leveled "to the ground" and their relatives to be exiled from chechnya.
It was a sleepless night in chechnya for two lawyers from the Russian town of Orenburg, Sergei Babinets and Dmitriy Dimitriyev.
Those images from the Grozny offices were transferred immediately to colleagues outside chechnya.
Kadyrov then declared himself to be "the main human rights defender" in chechnya.
But Chechen leader Kadyrov does not think that Committee Against Torture was needed in chechnya.
MOSCOW — The capital of chechnya, Grozny, seemed to blow up around 1:00 a.m. on Thursday morning.
The capital of chechnya, Grozny, was attacked Thursday by insurgents who may have sworn allegiance to ISIS.
He asked again, whether I really was the mother of the man who recently married a woman from chechnya.
Many in the neighboring North Caucasus republics say they envy chechnya its strong leader.

SEAN BAPTISTE NEAL, PLAINTIFF,v.ROSEANNE CAMPBELL, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff has requested the appointment of counsel. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that district courts lack authority to require counsel to represent indigent prisoners in § 1983 cases. Mallard v. United States Dist. Court, 490 U.S. 296, 298 (1989). In certain exceptional circumstances, the court may request the voluntary assistance of counsel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1). Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991); Wood v. Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335-36 (9th Cir. 1990). In the present case, at the present time, the court does not find the required exceptional circumstances. Plaintiff's request for the appointment of counsel will therefore be denied.
Plaintiff also requests that the court issue subpoenas for evidence plaintiff insists he needs to oppose a motion for summary judgment defendants have indicated they will file, and to support his own motion for summary judgment. Because defendants have not yet filed a motion for summary judgment, it can not be clear what evidence plaintiff will require to oppose it. Also, any evidence from defendants that plaintiff requires for his own motion for summary judgment should have been obtained through discovery. The court recently has resolved a motion to compel and the period for discovery now has passed. For these reasons, plaintiff's request for the issuance of a subpoena will be denied without prejudice to plaintiff's filing a proper motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(f), at the appropriate time, only if such a motion is warranted.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's request for the appointment of counsel (#50) is denied; and
2. Plaintiff's motion for the issuance of a subpoena (#51) is denied.

the problem of change in musical style. "One hears a good deal, these days," he said, "of the developing 'dehumanization' of music and the other arts. . . . This is all very well. and not without plausibility; but we are speaking of a movement that is widespread among the younger composers of Europe, that has begun to take root in the United States, and that above all is in constant development and evolution. Many ideas are being tested, and many are quickly discarded. If we regard certain manifestations with raised eyebrows, that is our privilege as members of an older generation, as it is always our privilege to point out flaws in logic. But if it is also our prerogative to insist on the primacy of the creative imagination, and to minimize the decisive importance of theoretical speculation, we are at the same time obliged to abide by our own premises, and look towards artistic results rather than towards the ideas by which these are rationalized. By the same token it is well to remember that art, considered on the most objective level, reflects the attitudes of the individuals that produce it. The danger of dehumanization is a real and patent one, and the individual can, and certainly should, resist any dehumanizing tendency with all his strength. But this cannot, and must not, blind us to the claims of whatever is genuinely new and vital in the arts, or, once more cause us to forget that it is the product, not the process, that is of real importance and that the creative imagination, at its most vital, has revealed itself through many and often surprising channels. There is no reason to believe that it will not continue to do so, as long as creative vitality--which for musicians means above all the intense love of music--continues to persist."11

Mescolanza is a small, intimate, little, neighborhood, mom-and-pop restaurant that serves Italian food located on Clement Street between 23rd and 24th Avenues. It's discreetly tucked under a small pink awning. It's my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood and I've been going there for 20 years! Please note, parking on the Clement Street corridor is difficult (almost as bad as North Beach) but there is a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant (as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing!"). This restaurant is small and seats only 49 patrons at one time so be sure to make reservations. My favorite appetizers are the Carpaccio and Bruschetta. The plate of Carpaccio is presented with extremely thinly sliced beef draped on the plate. There are small mounds of capers, chopped red onions, shaved Parmesan cheese, and mustard paste. Mix all the ingredients and enjoy! The Bruschetta is toasted french bread topped with a delicious sprinkling of chopped Roma tomatoes mixed with fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and sea salt. In this day and age of almost tasteless tomatoes (inbreeding is never a good thing), the tomatoes in this dish are ripe, packed full of flavor, and fill your mouth with a burst of flavor. The Pear Pizza (Yeah, I know, it sounds kind of strange but darling, it's divine intervention on a plate.) You have got to try this! The Osso Bucco was excellent. The meat was very tender and flavorful in its rich burgundy-like sauce. I loved the vegetables and that's saying something for a meat eater like me. The vegetables were carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash done just right in that perfect combination of buttery, tender and crunchy at the same time. We had a veal chop off the "Specials Menu" that was sauteed in its own juices with a blend of slow-cooked root vegetables surrounding it. It came with silky, creamy mashed potatoes that had a hint of garlic flavor and a serving of the vegetable combination I spoke of earlier. Once again, excellent! We had the creme caramel, the tiramisu and the chocolate flan with amaretto and crushed amaretti cookies. The tiramisu and creme caramel were as expected, delicious. That chocolate flan was EXCEPTIONAL! Sinfully, silky smooth texture on a bed of crushed cookies with the hint of amaretto flavors. While we ate all the desserts, the chocolate flan won hands down.

Xiahe, Langmusi and the road to Chengdu
If there is one area in China where you can find Tibetan culture outside Tibet, it's in Xiahe and Langmusi. I traveled the road from Lanzhou to Chengdu once in February. It was in the time that many areas in China were officially closed.
Lanzhou and Xining
I arrived in Lanzhou by train in the evening. Lanzhou, then was not a city I felt very welcome. It was cold, it was dark. The only hotel in town was not very helpful to get me a room. With the help of a local woman, an English teacher, I was finally able to get a room in a further almost deserted hotel.
Xining, the city center in February, cold and uninspiring
My new Chinese friend told me she would pick me up the next morning to show me some of Lanzhou. My Lonely Planet didn't tell me much about the city except a park on a hill site. And that was indeed what we visited. Basically it was a long stairs to the top of the hill where a temple was located.
We had an early dinner in a small restaurant: Mongolian hotpot. We had a typical little room with a couple of chairs and a table. The pot with hot fluid came in and we were supposed to put the meat and the vegetables, cook it and eat it. My new Chinese friend told me it was the specialty of the northern provinces.
The lady told me she would help me buying a train ticket the next day for the train to Xining, about 4 hours west of Lanzhou.
I had a hard seat for the train but that was ok as the journey would only be 4 hours. Xining was more of the same, a grey city where it seemed all happiness was abandoned. But I was lucky. I ran into a few nice people and with them I spend a good day.
Just south of the city lies the Ta Er Si monastery, one of the biggest Tibetan monasteries outside Tibet but inside China. Obviously I wanted to visit it. The monastery was partly closed due to the season. But I saw a wide range of people walking around the temples and monasteries.
Xiahe (Labrang) and Linxia
After a long day in the bus, I arrived in Xiahe to visit the Labrang monastery. After Ta Er Si this was the second big Tibetan monastery on the way to Chengdu to visit. Xiahe had apart of the Labrang monastery also a significant Muslim population. The city was smaller then Lanzhou or Xining and had a much better feel. I visited the Labrang monastery.
The food in Xiahe was interesting too. Here I was able to buy some Muslim kebabs and breads. Sure, it was cold, but it was also beautiful. It was the first time since I had arrived in China I was able to eat some breads.
The little restaurant had a thick noodle soup that was tasty and warmed me up. Inside the restaurants it was pleasant warm. The plastic doors kept all the warmth inside. On the floor were little pots with cokes to keep ones feet warm.
The bus to Linxia was quick but instead of traveling further I decided to give Linxia a visit for the rest of the afternoon. Apart of eating there was little to amuse me so I went back to my hotel room to watch a bit of TV and sleep.
The next days would be hard traveling, I expected. And indeed it was. The next morning I had an early bus out of Linxia to the next destination: Hezhou. And there I would learn what it is to travel on your own. Read the story about Hezhou and Langmusi here

The bus in Hezhou
Getting a bus was a major problem in Hezhou. I admit, it is a very years back, but it is still a great story.
Entrance tickets
Cycling in China visiting tourist sites means collecting entrance tickets. It seem the Chinese do want to give you value for your money. And I admit ... many are very nice:

Guess people were busy shopping and trying to get more bargains. LOL
Only 4 of us, Jennifer, "Karen", Cat and me….but the needles were flying. LOL I swear that Cat must knit in her sleep – she's knitted some of the coolest socks! I think I'll check with her hubby on Monday if he shows up at Bowling for Boobies!
Oh, and she and hubby (Cat) are great at taking in stray animals and caring for them.

February has brought a new installation to the campus of McKinleyville High School: The Reality Wall.
This is wall where students give accounts of the effects that drugs and alcohol have had on their lives or the lives of people they know.
The purpose of this project is to illuminate the effects of substance abuse on the lives of the students.
Starting on Feb. 1, with the guidance of Student Assistance Counselor Chris Evans, students Summer Driscoll and Maisie French, along with myself, asked students to fill out anonymous cards describing personal experiences about the impact of drugs and alcohol on them.
The results were interesting. The students used it as a way to let their voices be heard on the struggles they face every day when they get home from school and on the weekends. Some students have struggled with the problem for years.
This year marks the 17th year this project has been enacted. It brought 311 new responses this year from people who have been affected by substance abuse.
Answers varied from little effect taking place, to students who have had family members and friends die or disappear due to addictions.
People also wrote about the harms of drunk driving and having drinks spiked at parties, and the dangerous and damaging results thereof.
It was heartbreaking to see so many students carrying such heavy burdens every day, but the goal was accomplished. This project brought about empathy for those who are afflicted by all the pain that substance abuse has caused them.
The wall has allowed others to see that they are not alone, and that students' situations are sometimes more serious than what one sees from day to day.
Anonymously, students were able to say what has been resting on their shoulders without feeling too exposed.
The wall will remain on display on the quad in the center of campus for the whole month.

15 April 2010
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
The following is an excerpt from
the ACEHKINI magazine edition April 2009. This puzzle
pieces of knowledge is posted in order for us to be
introduced to the background and help us see a bigger
picture and understand the reflections on the jihad in
Aceh, which will be featured here in the future, insha
Watching The
Jihad Warriors In The Vicinity of Exxon
�Allahu Akbar� Allahu Akbar!� yelled a number
of youth loudly. Scattering about after jumping off
from the pick-up vehicle. Their faces were covered
with clothes, only the eyes were shown exactly like
the guerillas in Palestine. �We are just back from
jihad,� said one of the them. The Jihad that he
meant was not the actual jihad but merely a kind of
Last January, the hill of Cot Kareung in the village
of Blang Weu Panjoe, Blang Mangat sub-district,
Lhokseumawe province, really changed into something
like a battlefield. Each time, the religious students
from various pesantrens (madrassa)
who wished to conduct jihad in Palestine gathered, not
to learn religious knowledge, but self-defense.
The FPI (Front Pembela Islam or Defenders of
Islam Front), is behind the 'combat training'
underwent by the youth. A pesantren was
established as a headquarter, its name is Darul
Mujahidin. The leadership of the pesantren
which had the slogan �living honorably with
the death of shaheed�, stated that
it has produced dozens of graduates who are prepared
to assist the Palestinian fighters in fighting the
Israeli soldiers.
This pesantren facilitates all the needs of
the prospective warriors, from accommodations to
logistics. An open terrain located side by side with
the pipeline path belonging to Exxon Mobil, the oil
giant from the America, was used for their training
Concerning the trainers in the science of war and
self-defense, it was taken care of by the Central FPI
in Jakarta. Two trainers were sent to teach the basic
techniques of self-defense, movements of hands and
legs, as well as the effective ways of disabling
opponents. The basic science in military was taught by
a special tutor sent from Jakarta.
The leader of Aceh FPI, Yusuf Al Qardhawi, said that
the training in combat and guerilla war tactics were
given by Abu Alyas, 38 years. Alyas, he said, is a
Mujahideen who had experiences in Afghanistan, fought
along with the Abu Sayyaf camp in Southern Phillipines
and joined the Hamas fighters.
�We don't look at ethnicity. We only look at
religion, in order to implement the amar makruf nahi
mungkar, in order to be strong we must be networked,�
Tengku Muslim At-Thahiri, other leader of Aceh FPI
told ACEHKINI, last January.
The system of recruitment for the warriors is not the
same as in other pesantrens in Aceh. A series
of selection processes have to be passed, including
the tests on religious knowledge, obedience in
practicing ibaadah and the most important is
the readiness to die in the Gaza strip. The last
phase, which is the deciding factor in getting
through, is to pass the physical training.
The fans of jihad in Aceh are considered to be many.
According to Muslim, there were 500 religious students
who registered. But not all got through the selection
process. �100 got through the administration
round, but from the training the number dropped again,
only 80 remained and are ready to be dispatched to
Palestine,� he explained. �We are only
preparing the basics, then when they are in Palestine,
they will be trained again.�
15 Aceh Mujahideen To
Conduct Jihad In Gaza
End of January, the Darul Mujahideen was getting quiet
again. But, the 'scent' of the FPI did remain in the
form of a sheet of banner displayed at the entrance
gate. It says, �bad ulama's are more dangerous
than Dajjal.� A spirit-burning slogan was left
behind in this former headquarters of the militants,
�rumoh ureung meujihad (houses of the
mujahids),� clearly written at the halls.
Not only that, the village children now are also
active in playing combat tricks. Before studying the
Qur'an after Magrib, they filled in the time
by displaying actions similar to the militants of
Gaza. �Allahu Akbar�.Allahu Akbar!� screamed
the little religious students while brandishing pieces
bamboo as if they are guns.
The militant graduates of the Darul Mujahidin had been
returned to their bases, getting ready to be sent to
Gaza. In line with that, other religious students were
still busy collecting funds from road users. According
to Muslim, the Central FPI is the one responsible for
the dispatching of the volunteers to Palestine.
Early last month, �At least 15 Mujahideen out of
60 who were declared as passing the selection and
recruitment by the FPI of the State of Aceh
Darussalam, Friday (6/2), had a farewell ceremony held
for them at Pesantren Markaz al-Ishlah al-Aziziyah,
Lueng Bata, Banda Aceh. 15 warriors of the Exxon's
neighborhood graduates would be sent to the
headquarters of the Central FPI in Jakarta and join
other Mujahideens from all over Indonesia, who are
said to have fulfilled the criterion for conducting
jihad in Palestine against the aggression of the
Zionist Israel,�� the leader of Aceh FPI, Yusuf
Al Qardhawi, said. While, the rest will be sent as
necessary by the Central FPI. �They will be
dispatched very soon.�
According to Yusuf Al-Qardhawi, the Mujahids who had
passed would not only be sent to Palestine, but to all
Muslim countries in the world which are in need. He
said, the next groups will be sent in phases. When the
Muslim countries asked for help, then recruitment of
Mujahideen in a grand scale will be conducted.
Amongst the 15 Mujahideen from the first group, four
of them are ready to execute martyrdom bombing acts
and two are snipers. �We called them shaheed
bombing team. Not suicide bombers because that term
has a negative connotation which was labeled by the
foreign medias,� he said.
When asked for the reason why the four individuals are
ready to become a shaheed bombing team, Yusuf told
that during the entire trainings, they had been tested
in terms of mental and physical. �During the
trainings, the Mualim (teacher) declared that those
four individuals are already ready in body and soul to
become a shaheed bombing team. They are genuine
Mujahideen and they are the chosen people,� he
�We called them the �Mujahidin Al Alami� or
international Mujahideen who are ready to be
dispatched anywhere for the defense of the Islamic
ummah,� he said. �They have become the forces
of Allah who are prepared to defend the religion of
Yusuf explained that the Amir (Commander) for
the team is Abu Faiz, a man who hailed from the town
of Sabang, who would supervise 14 mujahideen which
includes the two snipers and the 4 man jihad bombing
He said, in order to enter Palestine, the Mujahideen
will attempt to use the available chances and
opportunities, regardless of any obstacle which will
hamper them because the intentions of Shaheed
Fisabilillah are already implanted within.
Yusuf said that to become a Mujahideen is not easy,
they have to pass a series of tests, be it in physical
or knowledge, what's more important is the mastery of
religious knowledge (Al-Quran and Hadith) besides
having the required permission from parents, and wives
if already married, as well as enclosing an approval
letter from Geuchik (village head).
The Mujahideen had performed Baiat or promise
signed on a six thousand Rp stamp duty document, ready
to die fisabilillah and conduct jihad
wholeheartedly without compulsion, and if they were to
come out safe they cannot return in a period of 1
year, Yusuf explained.
In the opportunity, all the 15 Mujahideen were given
instructions and guidelines, as well as farewell
ceremony by Abuya Tgk H Djamaluddin Waly.
Abuya advised the Mujahideen so that the intentions
that had been implanted in the hearts which are solely
for fisabilillah, are not inverted by other
purposes, because the intention of helping the
Palestinians from the shackles of Israel is noble and
if they die in it, it would be considered as
The people who struggled in Allah's cause, if their
intentions are sincere, then their death would be
shaheed, and when they die fighting the kafir
and zionist, the janazas need not be washed,
and the pain when their souls are drawn out are just
like being bitten by ants,� Abuya said.
Abuya asked the Mujahideen to look after their health
and increase their ibaadah to Allah, keep
supplicating and work hard so that their purposes and
goals of helping the Palestinians in expelling the
Zionist from the Arab lands are accomplished.

Spazio: ultima frontiera! E' arrivato il tempo che la gente prenda coscienza che non siamo soli nell'universo. Come disse l'astrofisico Labeque al palazzo dell'UNESCO, durante il congresso mondiale del SETI di Parigi del Settembre 2008, " SOMETHING IS HERE", "Qualcosa è qui", e I TEMPI SONO MATURI per farsene una ragione. La CIA, l'FBI e la NSA, e non solo, lo hanno confermato!

UFO over Seattle WA, USA - In The Right of The Plane
A UFO has been filmed through the window of a passenger jet as it was flying near Seattle recently. At least, that's what it looks and sounds like in the YouTube video attached above and published to the site on Oct. 6. The image is so brief and typically grainy, it's not easy to say whether it's a real unidentified flying object or a photographic hoax. But, it certainly looks like the genuine article.
That is, if alien UFO spaceships haven't changed shape in the last 50 years or so. In the video, the object takes on the classic flying saucer outline, making a shadowy appearance off the right side passenger window as it ducks in and out of the foggy cloud cover obscuring a clearer look at the strange, apparently silent aircraft.
Winking in and out of the clouds, the UFO disappears after about two minutes of shadowing the airliner, as oblivious passengers can be heard going about their business in the cabin. Since the window frame is not visible, there's no reference to verify the UFO is being filmed outside an airplane. And the audio track is little help, as it sounds like typical passenger activity and conversation, with the participants obviously unaware of the drama unfolding just yards away outside the plane.
Which means, of course, this could be the cheapest kind of UFO hoax. One which doesn't take much expertise to achieve and actually benefits from the poor quality imagery one might expect if filming out an airplane window, with a cheap camera on a densely foggy day.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - A Gwinnett County mother and her boyfriend will appear in court Tuesday morning on charges they murdered her 2-year-old son.
Channel 2 Action News has uncovered previous complaints of abuse in New York, and indications the couple came south to avoid issues up there.
"I knew it was her right away," said former roommate Erica Love.
Long Island, N.Y., resident Love told Channel 2's Tony Thomas that Elizabeth Calvo lived with her and her husband for a time in 2009. Even then she says she witnessed child abuse first hand between Calvo and her older son.
"She would go over and wind up her arm like a baseball player and with an open palm and just
wale down on his naked body," Love said.
Gwinnett County investigators say Calvo and her boyfriend Adam Garber abused 2-year-old Aiden Calvo so severely he died from
injuries on Dec. 22. He had spent six days in the hospital.
The family reportedly moved to Georgia earlier this month from New York and had only been in Gwinnett County two days before calling for help after Aiden wouldn't wake up.
Aiden's older brother reported seeing blood coming from his nose and mouth. Police say there was blood splattered on the walls of his new bedroom when they arrived. Investigators say the 2-year-old had injuries all over his little body.
"On the back, the face, arms, legs, the extremities," said Gwinnett County Police
Cpl. Troy Tobler, describing where police found injuries on Aiden's body.
From New York, Love said she reported the previous abuse she witnessed to New York's Child Protective Services, but never heard back from authorities. Calvo, she said, made fun of the situation.
"She was like laughing, saying CPS has been to my house a bunch of times and all I've got to do is clean the house and that is it," Love said.
New York officials won't confirm any complaints or actions taken, citing state laws. But Thomas learned Calvo may have come to Georgia as a result of pressure from the agency.
A New York TV station reports it found a posting on Calvo's now-closed Facebook page from one month ago, which read, "Honestly another CPS report this year. It's (expletive) harassment. Stop it. Deactivating Facebook. Off the face of the world for a while. I've had it. "
Calvo and Garber will be in court in Gwinnett County Tuesday morning to face charges of murder and child cruelty.
Gwinnett parent accused of killing 2-year-old son had history of complaints in other stateUpdated:

Mild temperatures to persist
Considering that this is, on average, the coldest part of the winter, our temperatures for the next seven days will be mild. Afternoon highs in the 40s should prevail, but the Chicago metropolitan area will lie in a zone of sharp temperature contrasts. It will be cooler to the north and much warmer to the south and west. Easterly winds blowing off the chilly waters of Lake Michigan are to play a big role in area temperatures for much of the seven-day forecast period. That means highs in the mid and upper 30s or low 40s in the north suburbs along the lake, but afternoon readings in the 50s, even 60 degrees, are likely to the south. Two rainy periods will occur: the first Thursday night into Friday and the second on Monday. Note that no snow appears in the Chicago forecast, a disappointment to snowbirds but easy to take for others.

You might not think heavy metal, 60s flower power and 70s hard rock would make a harmonious combination - but fear not - this trio of Riddings rockers are just modelling costumes from their Rock of Ages Show set for Christmas time.
Junction, other wise known as brothers Daniel and Benji Heenan and drummer Ryan Mcfall, are set to take Somercotes on a guided history of pop music through a thrilling three hour set at the Somerlea Park Community Centre on Friday, December 21.
The show will feature songs from every decade from the 1950s through to the present day, complete with costume changes that will see the band, all from Newlands Road in the village originally, appear in the guise of everything from a teddy boy to a glam rocker.
Lead singer Benji Heenan, 22, now of Wagstaff Lane, Jacksdale, and donning the 1980s heavy metal look on the left here, said: "It should be a great night really celebrating rock history. With all the costumes it will be funny, but really professional."
Bassist Daniel, 24, modelling 70s rock attire on the right here and sporting his own hair, said the show will be complete with laser lighting and video interludes in between the different decades of music.
It will start with early American blues rock from the likes of Elvis and Chuck Berry and end with contemporary rock such as Kings of Leon and the Killers.
But joiner-by-day Daniel, who performs more than 100 gigs a year with the band said all costume changes have proved tricky in rehearsal.
He said: "Between each decade of music we have an interval tape that plays on a projector.
"We've just got a minute and-a-half to get off the stage , get changed, swap guitars and get back on stage to play again - we can just about do it!"
Despite all being in their early 20s, Junction formed ten years ago and play at venues across the UK.
Manager of the Somerlea Park Centre, on Sherwood Street, Brian Hill is excited to have booked the band for the not-for-profit run centre.
He said:"I think it will be a great night, I would like to think we'll get 150 people turn up."
Tickets for the night cost £5 and are available from the venue itself.
Doors are set to open at 7pm.

Thank you John
You know John Nat kept telling me she as land where we could make new home but i not go and look till about 7 months ago and her land is was as far as you could see and more. Could not believe i not go look before. Hope to make new work shop too next year. Yes that is Nat she not look it but she is 37 years old.
Thanks Jeremy
Hi Dolf
Thanks for the offer of plans Willys jeep I would like see the plans for the wheel profile. This internet USB stick I have got is crap hard me to look at photo references on web and signal no good bean off now for 3 days come back on this morning. Yes all the 3d software are bit expensive think Robert McNeel what make Rhino 3D should make a lite version so we can afford to buy it
The last two of the designs now before i start to make them all. (Mongoose bike and cartoon truck).
Rainy season here now and stop working on my home for about 3 or 4 months. So now i will start to make all of the models in about one week. Hope to have internet at my home before i start the willys jeep so i can do videos on making the car. I will take many photos of making all of the models as i make them.
Hi John
I will send you Email today and look forward to talking with you.
Yes all my models I make is if I am making them from wood and not as a 3d model.
And today BB internet come to my home and tell me tomorrow put my internet on at my home one mile of cable just for me to get my home and for free. Probably because I nag them so much.
Hi Bucko
Come for working holiday if want I can find you many jobs to do here. Yes my tools the same I have now got second hand router and made a table for it should make it bit easy for me. Here is a photo of my new work shop and I making my new home of this table too.
Well i have ago at cutting the wood today and it very hard to cut and it coat on fire when cutting. This is where i could do with bandsaw. I have got a second hand router and made a table for it but to big for these small pieces .Think it will break many blades on Scroll Saw but is beautiful wood so i will give it ago. Hard to find nice wood in Thailand and i want to make some models without painting them for my new home. Commando Helicopter made some small changes to the design. Start working on it tomorrow.
it's taken me all day to cut the bottom piece and maybe a full day tomorrow sanding to shape. it is the hardest wood i have cut. Can someone tell what wood this maybe. Nat told me it as been here many years.
Lignum Vitae is Latin for "Tree of Life"and grows mainly in tropical climates. It is the world's densest wood and has such unusual properties that the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, has its aft main shaft strut bearings made out of the stuff. In addition to being strong, hard, heavy, dense, water and salt water resistant, Lignum Vitae contains natural oils that make Lignum Vitae bearings self-lubricating.

Steady Streamline Flow
The flow parameters (eg speed, direction, pressure etc) may vary from point to point in the flow but, at any point, are constant with respect to time. This flow can be represented by streamlines and is the type of flow which it is hoped will be found over the various components of an aircraft. Steady streamline flow may be divided into two types:
Classical Linear Flow. The flow found over a conventional aerofoil at low incidence in which the streamlines all more or less follow the contour of the body and there is no separation of the flow from the surface.
Controlled Separated Flow or Leading Edge Vortex Flow. This is a half-way stage between steady streamline flow and unsteady flow described later. Due to boundary layer effects, generally at a sharp leading edge, the flow separates from the surface; the flow does not then break down into a turbulent chaotic condition but, instead, forms a strong vortex which, because of its stability and predictability, can be controlled and made to give a useful lift force. Such flows are found in swept and delta planforms particularly at the higher incidences.
Unsteady Flow
In this type of flow the flow parameters vary with time and the flow cannot be represented by streamlines.
Two-Dimensional Flow
If a wing is of infinite span, or, if it completely spans a wind tunnel from wall to wall, then each section of the wing will have exactly the same flow pattern round it except near the tunnel walls. This type of flow is called two-dimensional flow since the motion is confined to a plane parallel to the free stream direction.
As the air flows round the aircraft its speed changes. In subsonic flow a reduction in the velocity of the streamline flow is indicated by an increased spacing of the streamlines whilst increasing velocity is indicated by decreased spacing of the streamlines. Associated with the velocity changes there will be corresponding pressure changes.
As the air flows towards an aerofoil it will be turned towards the low pressure (partial vacuum) at the upper surface; this is termed 'upwash'. After passing over the aerofoil the airflow returns to its original position and state; this is termed 'downwash' as shown. The reason for the pressure and velocity changes around an aerofoil is explained in later paragraphs. The differences in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of an aerofoil are usually expressed as relative pressures by '-' and '+'. However, the pressure above is usually a lot lower than ambient pressure and the pressure below is usually slightly lower than ambient pressure (except at high angles of attack), ie. both negative.
Three-Dimensional Flow
The wing on an aircraft has a finite length (ie a wing tip) and, therefore, whenever it is producing lift the pressure differential tries to equalise around the wing tip. This induces a span-wise drift of the air flowing over the wing, inwards on the upper surface and outwards on the lower surface, producing a three-dimensional flow.
Because the effect of the spilling at the wing tip is progressively less pronounced from tip to root, then the amount of transverse flow reduces towards the fuselage. As the upper and lower airflows meet at the trailing edge they form vortices, small at the wing root and larger towards the tip. These form one large vortex in the vicinity of the wing tip, rotating clockwise on the port wing and anti-clockwise on the starboard wing; viewed from the rear. Tip spillage means that an aircraft wing can never produce the same amount of lift as an infinite span wing. If the wing has a constant section and angle of incidence from root to tip then the lift per unit span of the wing may be considered to be virtually constant until about 1.2 chord distance of the wing tip.
The overall size of the vortex at the trailing edge will depend on the amount of the transverse flow. Therefore, the greater the force (pressure difference) the larger it will be. The familiar pictures of wing-tip vortices showing them as thin white streaks, only show the low pressure central core and it should be appreciated that the influence on the airflow behind the trailing edge is considerable.

Yoga Poses for Hypertension
The DASH Diet is about eating the right sorts of foods to reduce hypertension, but there are also some Yoga poses for hypertension that can also help lower your blood pressure.
Yoga, when performed mindfully, can reduce stress-induced hypertension, it pacifies the sympathetic nervous system and slows down the heart, while teaching the muscles and mind to relax deeply.
The following sequence is designed to prepare you to work toward the practice of inversions safely and without raising your blood pressure.
Standing Forward Pose- (pictured above)
Stand up straight.
Start bending down to your legs keeping your back straight.
When it gets hard for you to keep your back straight, lower your head and grab your legs with your hands in order to help draw your stomach to your thighs.
Your head hangs freely.
Downward Facing Dog- (pictured above)
- From Table position (hands and knees on the floor, tuck the toes under, press into the hands and begin to lift the hips up towards the ceiling.
- Spread the fingers wide apart with the middle finger facing forward, and the palms shoulder width apart. Press the out through the fingers and edges of the hands.
- Using straight (but not locked) arms press the hips up and back reaching the chest towards the thighs. Lift up through the tailbone to keep the spine straight and long.
- Have the feet are hip's width apart with the toes facing forward. Press the heels into the floor feeling a stretch in the back of the legs. The legs are straight, or you can have a small bend at the knees to keep the back flat.
- Let the head and neck hang freely from the shoulders or look up at the belly button.
- Breathe and hold for 4-8 breaths.
- To release: bend the knees and lower the hips back to Table position, or come all the way down to child pose.
Bridge Pose-(pictured above)
- Lying on your back, bend both knees and place the feet flat on the floor hip width apart. Slide the arms alongside the body with the palms facing down. The fingertips should be lightly touching the heels.
- Press the feet into the floor, inhale and lift the hips up, rolling the spine off the floor. Lightly squeeze the knees together to keep the knees hip width apart.
- Press down into the arms and shoulders to lift the chest up. Engage the legs, buttocks and mula bandha to lift the hips higher.
- Breathe and hold for 4-8 breaths.
5. To release: exhale and slowly roll the spine back to the floor
Plow Pose- (pictured above)
- Resting flat on your back, place your palms on the mat beside you.
- Inhale, activate your core, and lift your feet off the floor until they're at a 90 degree angle.
- Support your hips and lower back with your hands as you lift them off the floor.
- Continue to lift up as you hinge at the hips and rest your feet directly above your head. Press your toes firmly into the mat beyond your head and energetically press into your heels. Lift your top thighs and tailbone toward the sky and pull your inner thigh into the pelvis.
- Create space between your chin and your chest.
- If you'd like an additional shoulder opener, remove your hands from your lower back, extend them on the mat in the opposite direction, and clasp the hands. Press them down on you mat to lift the hips and thighs up even higher.
- To exit slowly and with control, place your hands on your back, hinge at the hips until your feet are high in the sky above your hips (90 degree angle), and slowly roll down vertebra by vertebra.
