THE National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, yesterday, gave the Federal Government seven days to resolve the strike embarked upon by Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, or face a total shut down of electricity facilities in the country. The union said that it could no longer sit back and watch those in positions of authority destroy the future of young Nigerians who have remained at home for weeks on account of the Federal Government's refusal to meet the legitimate demands by ASUU.
General Secretary of NUEE, Mr Joe Ajaero, who spoke at a training workshop for labour leaders in the power sector in Enugu, said that electricity workers across the country would be directed to join other progressive labour unions "to shut down the country" as a way of expressing anger over the lingering face-off between the Federal Government and the academic staff.

Modelling Cracks the Easy Way
In my previous blog I talked about the advantages of automatic re-meshing in the analysis of rubbers in improving accuracy and stability of a simulation. One advanced application of this capability that was not touched upon was in the field of crack propagation.
In many industries it is sufficient to use your analysis to predict that a crack could initiate and redesign the part to avoid this occurrence. In others though it is possible that a crack may be identified from an in-service inspection whereupon it becomes necessary to understand if it will propagate under the loads applied and how quickly so that a replacement can be introduced in a timely manner.
Predicting crack growth in materials with finite elements can seem more art than science.
As an example, in some codes you may need to construct a very precise 'rosette' mesh at the crack tip.
A series of angular perturbations to the crack tip node are then simulated to look at the energy release resulting from extending the tip with the assumption being it moves in the direction of the greatest energy release.
In a manual world the crack would then be extended some distance in that direction, the rosette mesh moved and the body meshed around it. Having done this for an aircraft panel once I know how laborious this can be.
MSC Marc developers however have automated this, making use of the automatic re-meshing technology in Marc. Marc detects the direction of growth, moves the crack tip and re-meshes around it iteratively, propagating the crack through the part without human intervention.
Some examples are shown below.
This technology is available within the MSC One token system which enables small companies to use the same technology as industry leaders but at an affordable annual cost.

Last night I went downstairs to make myself a sandwich. I was hungry you see! I didn't want to get in my Jeep, which I have fondly named Dolores, and drive down to a fast food joint! I'm trying to be responsible financially and plus fast food is bad bad bad! So here I go making the arduous trek downstairs. I narrowly avoided the dog laying at the top of the steps, navigated the steep slope of the stairs, wound my way through the formal living and the den and made it into the kitchen. I opened the door to the refrigerator to stare at the meager offerings and decided on a ham sandwich. Into the pantry I went to get my country butter milk bread and lo and behold there was only OAT NUT bread!! OAT NUT BREAD? What is this? I frantically dug around for more options. Nothing! I angrily threw the bread (can you even call it bread if it has nuts in it?) into the toaster, gathered my cheese and ham and mustard and set about making myself a monster sandwich! After finishing the sandwich I went back into the pantry to get some chips. NOTHING!! WHAT IS GOING ON? We ALWAYS have chips! We always have a virtual cornucopia of chips in the house. Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos, Lays! All kinds of chips! NOTHING, NOTHING! What is going on?
My family had fallen under the spell of a wacko, commy, atheist "doctor"! This man has placed my parents and my sister on very strict diet. NO CHIPS, and the like. NO regular bread! No "a lot of things"! AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH!
I have one question….Is this child abuse?
I'm still picking oats and nuts out of my teeth from that stupid bread! Oh yeah, and I did have to go to Taco Bell.

Oh, wait. I should be upbeat and taking arrows doesn't sound like an upbeat thing to say.
So, let me amend that statement.
It was courage and vision that led the pioneers to leave behind a comfortable, settled life and trek West to begin a new life in a new place. Many of those from the East that went West found a strength within themselves that they didn't see while they were in their old life. Instead of being one of those that just kind of went along with the others in the old life, they became leaders and visionaries in their new lives.
The sentiments of that last paragraph come from a favorite author, Louis L'Amour, in many of his books. So, I can't really say that it is an original thought from me. However, what he said is truthful.
Welcome to being a pioneer. Look ahead and ignore the "barking dogs" that give you negative opinions and comments. Louis L'Amour also spoke of the barking dogs.
In some of his stories, it was usually a father or older man telling a young boy how it was that when the Westward bound Conestoga wagons rolled through towns, the dogs came out to bark at them. His character then told the young listener that the barking didn't stop the wagons from going on to their destinations.
Following the advice of the Louis L'Amour characters, may we all forge ahead with our plans, after carefully considering all consequences and leave the "barkers" behind.

title: I'm Not Her
author: Janet Gurtler
stars: 5
"For the first time in my life, I didn't feel envy…"
Tess is the exact opposite of her beautiful, athletic sister. And that's okay. Kristina is the sporty one, Tess is the smart one, and they each have their place. Until Kristina is diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly Tess is the center of the popular crowd, everyone eager for updates. There are senior boys flirting with her. Yet the smiles of her picture-perfect family are cracking and her sister could be dying. Now Tess has to fill a new role: the strong one. Because if she doesn't hold it together, who will?
"Is Kristina sick?" (48, Gurtler)
My thoughts:
I love this book so much. It struck a chord inside me. Lately you've seen me hate on the YA genre (I am sincerley sorry about that!) but this book just proved me wrong (and the new one coming out this month! Shhh). I swear, my heart was pounding (cliche, but true) and I was like "Oh no!" Characters have always been the most important thing in a novel, because it's the characters that get you connected to the story. I could actually connect to Tess and even her sister Kristina. It sounds cliche, younger not popular and nerdy sister and older popular cute cheerleader sister? Well.....I'm Not Her delves more deeply than just that gap between the sisters and into the troubles the family deals, how the cancer affects everyone in the family.
characters: Brilliant. Best. Amazing. Nothing more to say ^_^
theme: Family relationships are complex, and are strained under the introduction of cancer.
plot: There was no vampires, magic, witches or anything like that. It was a realistic, sweet and simple yet complex story that followed a simple series of events that are just perfect.
style: Gurtler weaves her own style into that of the lyrical paced story so that it's almost unnoticeable, but there. The writing was flawless, and the style was unique.
overall: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! YOU MUST READ IT!

There's a great big chewy thing - the humans call it a love seat - that tastes soooooo good. But I'm not supposed to chew on it. The rawhide strips and 'toys' and bones get boring. Why cant she understand that? And the rug? I heard her tell Bearded One that it just cost a dollar - I don't think that's much - but still I get in trouble for gnawing on it.
But it's soft yet bouncy, and shreds so well. There's a lot of satisfaction in chewing on something that shreds. And the love seat thing... just wow!
Makes rawhide strips seem dull.

Love watching YouTube? If you are that type of person whose day is not complete without watching videos streamed from the site, then lend a moment of your time because this can be very crucial for your YouTube watching life. Of course, this would be very much advantageous if you have an iPhone at hand otherwise this article is not for you. You can do more with your phone at hand – endless video streaming of the beautiful, the ugly, the gross, and the funny. Best thing is, you can upload videos! Give thanks to Apple and its iPhone venture because you, and the millions who makes YouTube a habit, can now enjoy watching all sorts of videos from YouTube 24/7.
It is said that Apple made its mark when it has sold a device capable of doing a lot of things being incorporated to it. And one of which is watching YouTube directly from the phone's screen. This innovation has allowed owners of the phone to watch from millions of library entries with streams of new ones being uploaded daily. The great thing about it is that users can explore any kind of videos which goes from old to new ones without being in the fuss of learning a different search procedure. Compared to EDGE, the quality of video is undeniably much better.
Here are the steps:
1. From your phone, you'll be seeing an icon which states "YouTube", select it. The icon can be easily recognized because it looks like a small television screen on your window. If you select this icon, it will direct you to the main page of YouTube.
2. The moment you're inside the YouTube main page, click on the "Search" button in order to start your search. Remember, to touch the keys for YouTube keywords lightly in order to prevent common mistakes made by other users. You have to make contact with the field of keyword or else, your typing efforts will be worth nothing.

Adding Struts Support to a Web Module
J2EE web modules support the Servlet and JSP APIs, but they do not automatically support the Struts framework.
The WSAD provides a very useful wizard that adds struts support to an existing web module.
1. From the 'Project Navigator' view of the Web perspective, right click on on the PulpJavaWeb module and select Properties.
Make sure you are right clicking on the web module, as the PulpJava (minus the word Web) project will have different properties from the web module.
In the properties Window, you will see a number of configurable options, including Java Build Path, JavaDoc Location and even a special Struts option. Suprisingly though, in order to add Struts support to a project, you do not go to the struts option. Go figure.
2. In the left hand side, click 'Web Project Features.'
3. In the workpane on the right, click the checkbox next to Add Struts Support and then click Apply.
4. Accept the default settings, which includes the option to use Struts 1.1, and click Finish. This takes you back to the Properties window for the Web project.
5. Click 'OK' to exit the properties window and return to the WSAD.
Explore Struts Support in the Web Module
In the Project Navigator window, open the PulpJavaWeb project and explore its contents.
Under Java Source, note the package named com.ibm.pulpjavaweb.resources and its corresponding file, named ApplicationResources.properties. This is the property file used to hold internationalized text strings.
Open the web content folder and the WEB-INF folder as well and note the various tld, xmi and xml files.
The tld files describe the Struts custom tag libraries.
The xmi files represent IBM specific binding and extensions.
The two xml files are the web.xml file, required by any J2EE web application, and the struts-config.xml file, which is needed by the Struts framework.
These files represent the guts of our Struts based application, and will undoubtedly cause us no end of grief in the future.
Double-click on the web.xml file to open the deployment descriptor editor for the web module.
From there, click on the Servlets tab and take a gander at the single, monolithic Servlet that has been added to your application.
This single servlet, named action, that has been added is an instance of the Sruts ActionServlet.
Click on the action Servlet to display the various associated properties.
A struts application has one Servlet. This one Servlet, the ActionServlet, is responsible for handling every web based request that comes into the Struts application.
Yes, one Servlet to rule them all.
And while you're looking at this ActionServlet, look at the URL mapping for the ActionServlet: *.do
This mapping means that any request that comes to the server that ends in with the three characters ".do" will be sent to the ActionServlet. So, if types into the address bar of their browser:
the ActionServlet will handle and appropriately process that request.

As a practitioner of yoga for close to five years, my arms and legs, hands and feet do the bulk of movement that is sandwiched between the opening minutes of quiet meditation and the closing minutes of savasana (relaxation) and meditation. Put another way, it is my appendicular skeleton that moves me through my yoga practice. "Appendicular" refers to our appendages:
• upper extremities and pectoral girdle (clavicle and scapula)
• lower extremities and pelvic girdle (ilium, ischium and pubic bone)
The girdles are what attach the appendicular skeleton to our axial skeleton. Superior (above) is our pectoral girdle consisting of the clavicle, which you might know as the collar bone (front view: bone running horizontal in the first picture), and the scapula
(right side/rear view: triangular bone in the second picture), which you might know as the shoulder blade. It is at the sternal clavicular joint that our arms (the humerus bones) are connected to our axial skeleton.
I am too familiar with the bone that hangs from the pecs, the humerous, as my 80 year old mom has broken her right one and left one, each within a year of the other! Both arms broke in the area near the shoulder and the treatment was to wear her arm in a sling for close to six weeks, followed by physical therapy.
Inferior (below), extending from the pelvic girdle are three bones consisting of the ilium, ischium and pubic. I love the way "ilium" and "ischium" seem to roll off my tongue, and that the spellchecker knows those words in the first place! Knowing that pelvus means "basin", perhaps you can begin to see how it supports our leg bones. The size of the pubic bone differs among the sexes, being larger in females, and narrower, deeper and heavier in males.
Of the three bones, it is the ischium that I get a kick out of, both for the sound of its name and because these are our "sits" bones – the two sharp bones upon which we sit and on which all of my yoga teachers remind us to "move the fleshy part of your bottom aside to sit on your sits bones".
Try it – sit down, then reach your hands under your buttocks and feel the two sharp bones – welcome to your ischium! All three of the pelvic bones come together in the acitabulum (which means vinegar cup, and even Professor Diamond thought that was a curious name), and is where the head of the femur meets the pelvic girdle. This area is what we commonly call our hips.
The longest and heaviest bone in our bodies is the femur, which is the thigh. While my mom has broken each of her arms, I hope she never breaks her femur, especially the top portion. A broken hip often lands elderly folks in the hospital.
@brainbits: Appendicular Skeleton=upper extrimities, pectoral girdle, lower extremities & pelvic girdle. Axial skeleton=head, ribs & vertebral column.

We just made a flickr account to share with everybody because everyone just flips to the pictures anyway.
A report on our progress to date is coming tonight. There's a lot to share.
We just made a flickr account to share with everybody because everyone just flips to the pictures anyway.
A report on our progress to date is coming tonight. There's a lot to share.
Welcome to Nepal! With this blog I hope to share a little bit about Nepali culture and update our followers on progress in the field. For those who don't know know me or a lot about our project, My name is Greg Tao and over the last 6 months I have been developing a low-cost autoclave for middle income clinics of the developing world. I am pursuing a masters degree from MIT's mechanical engineering department and am working very closely with two Nepali MIT students, Pramod Kandel and Shambhu Koirala, as well as Sue Cho, another ME masters student. We have used their network of family and friends to identify 16 clinics within Nepal that have committed to using our autoclave. We have designed, fabricated, and shipped all the autoclaves in our luggage and will be traveling around Nepal for the next 10 weeks seeding the autoclaves in rural health clinics. With that, I'd like to take you through my first day in Nepal.
Pramod and Shambhu picked me up from the airport on Sunday (June 12th). We were continuously accosted in the parking lot for money as we walked through the parking lot searching for a good deal on a taxi. We finally found a fair deal loaded in all the bags. As we took off one particularly persistent beggar kept walking along side the moving taxi hoping for a handout.
After dropping the bags off at the hotel, we hit the streets for some food. The streets near the hotel are very busy and crowded. We walked for about 10 minutes and dropped into a hole in the wall restaurant on a side street after meeting one of Shambhu's friends. I got to try momo for the first time, which is the equivalent of Nepali fast food. They are essentially vegetable, chicken, or beef dumplings that come fried, steamed, or swimming in a chili sauce.
We headed to see the tourist sites around the city after lunch. Below are a few pictures from the adventure.
After a long day of touring, we finally settled into the hotel.
We'll post more as the adventure continues. With that I will leave you with the Nepali salutation Namaste, which is used for almost all formal greetings and goodbyes.

text: Excel has long had connections to other members of the Microsoft Office family, as well as to databases. With the growth of the Web, Excel developed HTML export capabilities as well, making it easy to publish information created in Excel. Over the last few years, however, Microsoft has developed features that enable you to use Excel as an interface to information published anywhere, and to get your information out of Excel and into other forms—whatever forms you want, given whatever data you have. At the same time, a number of developers have created ways to get information into and out of Excel spreadsheets without using Excel, and these also have become important gateways.

I am woman, hear me...
Twin yellow bruises. One on each leg, just above the knee. Various other discolorations that mark the occasion of a living room rearrangement. Weight on the legs, not the back. I recite this mantra to myself as my muscles and ligaments go into shock, as I balance a bookshelf taller than I am on the top of my legs. It's 95 degrees in my apartment and the humidity is high enough to verge on requiring gills to breathe. I'm hauling – not dragging – bookshelves around the room. I'm lifting them over the explosion of dispelled books and bric-a-brac on the floor.
I've spent two solid hours of the morning sipping coffee and looking at the living room with lethal intentions. I've hit the burn-it-or-change-it stage. My insurance isn't high enough to make me independently wealthy and I'm not an experienced pyromaniac, so changing it around seems to be the only option.
It takes hours. All those books. All that vacuuming, dusting, hauling. The table returns to the tiny dining area. The plants move out. I'm sweaty and panting with effort. I eat boiled eggs and toast in the middle of a suburban war zone where the combatants have tried to kill each other with copies of How to Grow A Novel and small wooden cow ornaments whose "hooves" double as muscle massagers.
A male friend visits the next day. "Did you do all this yourself?" Oh, I'm smug. I'm smirking with self-satisfaction.
"Do you see anyone else here?"
Damn! This makes up for the desk I spent hours assembling, only to haul it upright and have it collapse on my knees. At midnight. It makes up for having to holler for help from my next-door neighbor, Kevin. Who tells me, sympathetically, that I had all the pieces together right, but I just (a tiny detail) didn't tighten the screws right.
It makes up for the Scorpio snickering at my standing fan assembly last summer. There it was, fanning its' heart out, revolving like a good fan, upright, sturdy. I was so proud. And he started to grin.
"You see that piece there? In the middle?"
"Yeah. It's decorative." Oh shit. Shit. It isn't is it? "Decorative," I repeat, defiantly.
He gets up, whips the stand apart and puts the decorative piece on the bottom, where, strangely, it actually fits.
But now? My friend stands back and observes the rearrangement. "It's about perfect," he says. "You got it just right." I puff up with pride.
"You'll be moving it in the winter though, right? Because it's blocking the heat vents?"

Just tell him that's the plan, LJ. In the winter it's cold out. The physical activity of moving furniture warms you up and it's more ecological than fossil fuels. You are saving the planet with seasonal variations of the furniture arrangements. And I, for one, thank you! And thank you for the picture too, as it feels quite homey--and we all know how deficient I am in that area these days. I'll take any virtual homey-ness you are willing to share!

truly, we must be breathing the same air or in matching biorhythmns...I just redid a corner of my living room...bookcases and tables moved also, as well as plants! (although, I did NOT put anything over the heat vent..;)

Oh Hell! Just look on the pre- winter furniture moving as a good cardio-vascular workout. I say this having just vacuumed the whole ( little) house and washed all the floors! Deep bleedin' joy!

Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men...
Are you published? You should be. When I read your posts I feel I am in the midst of a novel.

- LJ said...
Actually, Jess...I'd like to plead environmental consciousness but I'm with Chuck on this one, "minor detail." Well, I guess we'll see HOW minor when the cold begins. There is space between the bookcases and vents and I'm hoping on the theory that heat rises...rather than head soaks into the back of the shelves.
And welcome to any virtual homeyness you can find. I'm sure that soon you'll have a home. Mainly because your car will become mighty cramped.
And Oregon does have winter, right?
Leazwell, yes I am published - very modestly...a few articles and essays Mostly "literary non-fiction"...which is kind of the style here, I guess. And thank you. That's a lovely compliment.
BB! Seems this is second time we've coordinated on organizing sprees and now Herhimnbryn is on the same cycle.
"Deep bleedin' joy" for sure! While the new and clean lasts.

Oregon winter varies from place to place, LJ, but in no case is it conducive to living in my beloved minivan! Hey, consider this, even if your theory doesn't work out, at least you'll have some hot novels to read. ;-)

Oh, what a delightful picture of your beautiful clean dust-free newly located bookshelf-blocking-the-vent. All you need are a couple kitties sleeping in the sunny spots.

Did all that with only two bruises? Wow. I'd've been black and blue. Not to mention the cuts and scrapes.
My mother used to rearrange the furniture in that little house every spring and fall, for better ventilation or use of heat vents.
I never move anything heavy if I can help it. Put it on wheels or leave it there.
- Wednesday, August 02, 2006
- LJ said...
Vita, I agree! But Kitties in an apartment with wall to wall carpet & no place to go is not my idea of providing a good home. And Kitties = vet bills. Getting ready to retire, the cuties are out of budget range...
Actually, Zhoen...I had two MATCHING bruises. The remaining dozen were from careening into random corners and falling over lurking out-of-place objects. And I do move heavy things. Point of Pride. I loathe asking for help - and I begin to go absolutely insane in the same, unchanging space. I change curtains and cushions and add rugs, but sooner or later we get to the end of that and it's lugging time.
The worst was switching my bedroom and studio - the studio having, by far, the most crap in the house, (two desks, filing cabinet, computer, 3 book and storage shelves etc.) and the bed being a thick double futon. Moving that futon was like trying to drag two dead bodies. And at one point, I ended up with a desk wedged solidly in a doorway. It was, incidentally, the same night I assembled the collapsing desk.
I was nearly crippled for a week.

Oh, I am so laughing here. We are cut from the same cloth, LJ, and if we ever need a new career, I think we should go with "Coast-To-Coast Big Bookcase Mover Babes, Over 100 Years of Experience! No Extra Charge For Desk Wedgies! (Corpses Must Be Rolled And Tied)"
- Wednesday, August 02, 2006
- LJ said...
Jess. Desk Wedgies??? I'm peeing myself here. And..end of the desk story...
What how do you think I thank Kevin, my kind helpful neighbor who assists with the desk? We move it to the other side of the room, Kevin walking backwards...and I wedge HIM (at family jewels level)against the wall! To use KD's phrase, "No good deed goes unpunished."
You think maybe we're too stubborn? Naw.
I prefer to think of it as "motivated."

- phlegmfatale said...
Well, in a 95 degree apartment, you can't be expected to think heat would ever again be a necessity, can you? Glad you made a change - I'm sure it was therapeutic!
- Thursday, August 03, 2006
- LJ said...
It was therapeutic. I'm stuck here, for the time, held captive by the decent landlords, proper maintenance & low rent. But the place has carpets everywhere...and doors, everywhere. It's a major challenge to rearrange around those.
And believe me PF, it is NOT 95 in the winter. But I have sweaters.

If you are planning to do some "al fresco" performing during Bunkfest then read on as we have organised a number of venues that will welcome you rather than move you on.
We are happy to see any types of performances from mime to singing and dancing, poetry to juggling.
This is in the main festival area, in front of all the food outlets in the Cruck marquee. This is the only venue that will have some amplification at scheduled times. Available Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. Please note The Baptist Church will be using the Cruck marquee for their Sunday Morning Bunkfest special service from 10:00 to 11:30.
This is in the George Hotel courtyard located on the High Street and only available between Noon and 2pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
This is at the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway, on the road between the main festival site and the main camp site. This is available from 10.30am-6.00pm Saturday and 10.30am-5pm Sunday.
At the entrance to Hart Street next to Sportswize Sports Shop. This is the main thoroughfare through to Wood Street public car park. Available Friday afternoon to Sunday Evening.
This is outside the Post Office in Feathers Yard on all days ... on the porch on Saturday and anywhere in front of the Post Office on Friday and Sunday. There will be traders all around on Saturday so position yourselves carefully.
The festival bus service is free so you are welcome to busk at any of the Festival Bus stops (see map) and carry on in and out of town on the bus. 300 vehicles a day will arrive and park in the Hithercroft Industrial Estate so a continual stream of festival goers will get on the buses there and return there to get to the camp site.
Notes: If you are a singer and want to get a crowd then sing songs that people will know and recognise. If you are not Leonard Cohen then choose up beat music. Practise just a few tunes but play them at each venue.

I have added a new one-act play under the category of "non-murder mystery" in my list of scripts. In addition to The Snow Day Monologues, I have just completed Home Room of Doom.
Both of these script are aimed at younger audiences and actors around the High school age. I wanted to contribute to the material available for young actors that hopefully is interesting and fun and provides ideas in which they can relate. I recall performing "childrens theatre" in High School and thinking to myself the whole time, "Really?"
With this new script, I cast my imagination back to those days sitting in what was called "Home Room" (which was a class where we sat for about 15 minutes while the teacher took attendance and read announcements) - and I remembered one particular year, some of the students referred to it as "Home Room of Doom". We were convinced the teacher was a zombie. After taking attendance and announcements, the teacher would promptly open his new copy of Reader's Digest and fall asleep. (We were certain he wasn't actually sleeping but returning to non-existent state.)
Another motivation for this play was the fact that as a kid I was a major fan of horror movies. In reality, I was not one to hide behind the couch during the scary bits, I never totally committed to overall "horror" or "shock". The monsters didn't really scare me. Once I saw the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" or "Dracula's" fangs, it was pretty much over for me. A guy in a rubber suit? Really?
What really freaked my little mind out back then was what I didn't see. The unknown factor is what sent me behind the couch.
When recalling what films frightened me as a child, I always pointed to "To Kill A Mockingbird". Yes, that's what I said. There was a scene where Scout is returning home at night with her brother Jem and she is dressed in big clunky costume, (a ham I seem to remember), and they are walking through the woods. Someone jumps out to attack them - but you can't really see who it is or what is happening. Your imagination has to fill in the unknown.
"Blair Witch Project" also was unsettling for me because again, your imagination has to fill the details of all you do not see. There is no actual "Witch" in bad make up or a costume or CGI to pop up. The details are off screen.
I use this 'unknown' factor to run rampant in "Home Room Of Doom". The school may be under an ancient curse that turning students into mindless drones or perhaps the Zombie Apocalypse is underway. Everything that is creepy or scary is actually happening out in the hallway, just outside of the door to the classroom.
What is out in hall? The unknown. The students can only guess and of course, the audiences imagination will fill in something better than I can create. Or can it? (insert evil laughter here)

Mandate? What mandate?
Clinton was probably a better president in his 2nd term than his first. We can always hope than Bush does similarly. But who knows, a person can change for the better or the worse.
Dispatches from the other side on law, debate, politics, economics, science and sex-ed. And served with a tasty garnish of snark and logic enforcement. One of the authors, being the amoral debater that he is is very willing to sell out to the highest bidder.
Mandate? What mandate?

This is in response to May Sarton's 'The Rewards of Living A Solitary Life'. Please do comment!
I refuse to give this reading response a pedestrian opening. I will not settle for 'May Sarton's essay, "The Rewards of Living a Solitary Life", in its entirety, is about…' and so on. No one can sum up this piece of validation, this piece of recognition, of what it truly means to dare to live alone in a sentence of less than twenty unique combinations of the English alphabet.
Hence, I will begin my response with this: May Sarton was homosexual.
And maybe it was her homosexuality that drove her to choose a solitary life over the continued rebellion against society's status quo and the struggle with her emotions. Maybe she, too, had to take the plunge her friend took, and discover that perhaps, she was not such a bad person to be with after all. No matter what her previous circumstances, it is evident in her writing that she truly enjoys her life of solitude, describing it with a certain delicacy that gives even her dullest affairs, like watering plants, a poetic flounce. It is her 'zone', in a manner of speaking. However, her high praise for the perks of living alone could make one question her true thoughts. Could she be hiding her fear of societal rejection behind a thin veneer of proud individualism? Could it be that Miss Sarton lacked the confidence to face other individuals, and so had to settle for a life of lonesomeness?
That would be a perversion of her true intentions, to my mind. Her words ("Solitude is the salt of personhood", "Alone we can afford to be wholly who we are") are a reflection of honest opinions, and are in no way a defence in lieu of strength of character. To her, solitude is an opportunity for self-discovery, and even to some extent, an adventure – not an excuse to shy away from the challenge of fulfilling the expectations of others. It is her belief that making the conscious choice to live alone is an act of bravery – daring to see yourself as the person you truly are, to strip away all opulent glorifications you may have inclined to place upon yourself, and to stand before the world, metaphorically, naked. And I could not agree more. Who are we but the people we are when we are alone? Personal experience tells me that I am not myself with other people. External communication requires that I put on an elaborate façade and give away a little of the 'Lillian-of-the-day' to every person I meet or talk to. Inevitably, I lose the ability to see the world through my own eyes. Instead, I am hovering above my physical self, watching my every move through a foggy glass ceiling clouded with the opinions and thoughts of others. And like Miss Sarton, this is when true loneliness sets in.
Here, however, I have to disagree with this extraordinary piece of writing. Although I do feel the same way as Miss Sarton does after a long day of conversation and experience, loneliness is not always a negative feeling. After all, however am I supposed to feel full again if I have not been emptied? And although the writer may find that the senses are dulled when experiences are shared, I, on the contrary, feel that they are merely halved as to share one great experience between two separate minds. The sensation of being with others is not always 'suffering from our differences in taste'. In fact, it is refreshing, for it is in others that I see reflected a different image of me. My faults and positive qualities are all at once magnified in the eyes of another, and the moments of loneliness that follow allow me to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are reasons as to why I hesitated to reveal that shred of personal truth that day, why I softened my perception for the sake of the men and women around me. And the moments of loneliness urge me to ask myself – what do I have to hide? It is in these moments that I know what I have to do to become a better person. And I think these moments worked their magic for Miss Sarton, too. She needed time to find herself again in the vast emptiness that was left behind after all she had given away during the day. And she did find herself – better, braver and wiser.
Choosing to live a solitary life is truly an act of courage, for the prospect of discovering nothing after a long, hard, look into the depths of your soul is frightening. But upon finding something, and even liking it, being alone suddenly becomes a gift. Even so, only when coupled with encounters saturated with other human presences can we fully appreciate the profundity of solitary life. One cannot exist without the other, for much like Miss Sarton's 'charming friend' it is from the fear of being isolated that we see ourselves for who we really are. Even the writer herself ritually goes through the motions of rediscovering herself after a hectic day – the small instances of self-awareness and inward adventure come during those moments of acute loneliness. But selflessly giving small pieces of yourself away only to be filled later, in solitude, with a renewed sense of self – that is most beautiful of all.

I am a huge Apple fanboy. I shamelessly love all things Apple. This holds true for my iPad, which is possibly the greatest device of all time for consuming media. Before the iPad, there was print, there was TV, there was film...each medium had it's own niche. Not any more. Steve invented the iPad and it became the great equalizer. Now the Wall Street Journal competes with Netflix and HBO Go and Zite and the NewYork Times and Lady Gaga and electronic books...all on one device. It's simply amazing.
The iPad really shines when you travel. All of your favorite books, newspapers, films, TV shows and music are contained in a single piece of hardware. It sure makes traveling easy. The first thing I reach for when I travel is my iPad carrying case.
My case of choice is a Belkin Grip Sleeve. It's padded, made of neoprene and has a reinforced panel that protects the screen. It has a large pocket on the side which I use to hold my portable easel and charger. The case sells for $14.95 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8N278tt091-Grip-Sleeve-iPad2/dp/B003CFB19Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326045268&sr=8-1
My portable easel of choice is the Compass stand from Twelve South. This is a piece of art that is also a marvel of engineering. It folds down into a small little package: 7" long by 1" wide and 3/8" deep. When used as an easel, like the photo above, it makes it easy to read books and watch movies in either landscape or portrait mode. The Compass also has a small fold-away secondary leg (visible on the middle leg in the above photo) which transforms the product from easel to portable workstation. It elevates the rear of the iPad by 1 1/2 inches and makes it incredibly comfortable for typing. The Compass retails for $39.99 and you can check it out here: http://twelvesouth.com/products/compass/
My very favorite iPad accessory are the Bower & Wilkins P5 headphones. For anyone who has tried to watch a movie on a plane with earbuds, they simply don't work. They let in way too much outside noise. The P5's fit over the ears and isolate the listener from the environment. The padded headband and ear cups are made from New Zealand sheep leather...quite possibly the softest leather I have ever felt. The sound is absolutely astounding. When I listen to my music with these headphones, I hear instruments and sounds that I never knew existed on the recordings. These are amazing headphones...the most amazing I have ever used. But you don't have to take my word for it....go to an Apple store and try them out. You'll be blown away. The Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones retail for $299: http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Headphones/Headphones/P5/Overview.html

Lavender Fields of Provence, France
The air is rich with the scent of Lavender and all you see is vivid purple rows. You can only be in one place: Provence. Famous for these iconic fields, let your senses indulge in this haven of colour, smells and feeling. There is certainly no better way of seeing these than by bike.

I was attempting to pet a sun conure in a petstore this weekend. A man observing me says, "I'm getting away, his beak looks sharp. The same man 5 minutes later says, "How much are they?" $399.99 was the reply from the store clerk. The man said, "I'll give you $350 for it right now." Umm…ok. I don't think you need a bird, mister.
We drove past a nail salon on our way back to my parents' house from dinner. The marquee out front said, "We have friendly nail techs." I guess that was probably more effective than, "Our nail techs are rude."
Fazoli's is now hiring smiles.
Here is what is printed on my my chopsticks wrapper.
On one side - "Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. Please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history and cultural."
On the other side - "Learn how to use your chopsticks. Tuk under tnurnb and held firmly. Add second chcostick and hold it as you hold a pencil. Hold tirst chopstick in original position move the second one up and down now you can pick up anything:"

I think it's a good idea to advertise friendly nail techs. That's one of the things I hate about manicures is that you have to sit so close to a complete stranger, when additionally there is usually a language barrier. I think another valid advertisement would be, "We sanitize so your digits won't fall off."
There is a whole website dedicated to hilarious misinterpretations from Chinese to English, but I can't remember the url. The packaging on my silverware on China Air said "You are welcome to take the plane." It's in my scrapbook!

So last week I wrote a post about how much I'd love to go to the American Museum of Natural History's Dinosaur Tweetup, as mentioned here.
Later that evening I received an email. I was chosen to go! I can't even begin to describe how much I am looking forward to this experience. And to top it all off, one of my friends that I haven't seen since I was 13 and volunteering at the Coney Island Aquarium might also be going with me! She saw my name somewhere online and then sent me a facebook wall post about it. That makes it even more exciting!
Anyway, this is just a short update on my earlier post. After the tweetup I'll change my scheduled Friday post to put up pictures and go over the experience. Can't wait!

There's a fabulous Punch cartoon from the Victorian era that labels the nascent vegetarian movement of the day to be an inglorious collection of 'pudding eaters'; it was deemed that to a man (and woman) they had an incurably sweet tooth. This blog however, has been stuck in savoury mode for two weeks now and so it's high time some desserts made it in.
The thing about vegan desserts is that they do seem to many to be an impossibility. Other than a fruit salad, most chefs seem stumped, and can't imagine that it is possible to come up with anything that isn't a fusion of eggs, cream and dollops of other dairy products. They're wrong of course, as this super simple vegan chocolate cake - originally from my mother in law in New Jersey - amply proves. Get stuck in!
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
Tsp basking soda
1 cup pain sugar
1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp corn oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Tbsp cider vinegar
Icing sugar to sprinkle
Pre heat the over to 180 degrees centigrade. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn oil, vinegar and vanilla with 1 cup of cold water. Whisk this mix into the dry ingredients and keep on going until the mixture is completely fee of lumpy bits. Pour the mix into a greased 9" cake tin (or you could make cupcakes with this mixture) and bake for 35 minutes or so - basically until the top springs back to the touch; the other way to check if the cake is done is to stick a toothpick or knife into the centre and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Let the cake cool for a while in its tin before removing, and dust with icing sugar to serve.

When I awoke on August 8, 2013, it felt like the day before. How was I to know that the information that would spark some of the most intense debates on standards of beauty that the world had seen since the Black issue of Italian Vogue was happening a few clicks of the computer away. BEYONCÉ HAD CUT HER hair and the world was literally sent into frenzy! Though far from being the first celebrity to do a "big chop", this was KING BEY and therefore the stakes were higher. Whether you loved it, hated, thought she should have gone natural, wished she dyed it a darker color, or wondered if weave sales would plummet , one thing was certain, you couldn't go anywhere and find anyone that wasn't talking about it. "Do you know what this could mean for women everywhere? Women could actually live in the hair they have", a friend of mine said. Although I wasn't sure how long the masses would be transfixed on Beyoncé's hair, I allowed myself a moment to imagine what life would look like if women everywhere were simply HAPPY with what they had.
Having lived in a world of "If you don't like it, pay to change it "for my entire existence, simply and wholly loving what you have isn't something that I had ever even considered and if honest about it, most people haven't. Be it hair, skin, teeth, nose, lips, height, body, at some point in life we've all picked at or on something about ourselves that we would have gladly changed or "fixed" given the right financial situation. But what if, by shedding a physical expectation, a standard of beauty she had become synonymous with and simply living and exhibiting beauty in the way SHE saw fit, Beyoncé had freed up the masses to do the same. What would that world look like?
In the weeks to come the conversations would continue until one day it happened, Beyoncé appeared in a weave, far different then the long tresses that had been known for. This was a bob cut and once again, the world was sent into a tailspin and the internet went wild. Where some people felt vindicated, other felt betrayed. Unfortunately, I think most folks missed the point.
The truth is, every day when you rise, you have a choice in exactly the way you are going to be present in the world. The decision to comfortably live in your own skin is a power that you have and guess what? You don't need ANYONE to tell you how to be. There is nothing wrong with changing up your look as it suits you. The damage is done in changing because you've been made to feel as though your natural self is WRONG.
As we transition from Summer to Fall, finding a new look is not uncommon (In fact most of us has it programmed into our minds from grade school). If you are deciding to shake things up a bit, remember as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Monday, monday....
Happy New Year!! Wishing you all the best for 2012.
I got my new computer up & running...YAY! But... the photo software is new to me and I am having trouble figuring it out.Took me sooo long just to get these 2 photos.
The color purple seems to be what I'm into these days. The Sympathy card was made with my Cheery Lynn die that I got myself for Christmas. :) The flowers are also a Cheery Lynn die. These cards are not one of my favorites to make but it sure seems like we go through them.
The next item is a poem a friend wanted me to put together so she could put in a frame. I have 2 more to go and she is giving them to a couple of her nurse friends.I used my Nellie Snellen punches for the flowers and some small buttons I had in my stash.
Thanks for stopping by. Going to have leftover pork & Sauerkraut for lunch then off to walk with a friend.

Last night, I watched a show on Hulu, called "Better Off Ted." It was weird, but it cracked me up a few times.
These two nerdy scientists had been scolded by their boss (I think), Ted. One scientist commented, "Ted's like the angle opposite the hypotenuse--he's always right." The funny part was that the other scientist totally got it, like this was not an usual thing to say at all.

If you wear a belt around your waist, it automatically draws the eye to the narrowest part of your body. An a-line shape is automatically created the moment you slip a nice blue/black/brown belt around your defined little waist. Who doesn't want to look slimmer- or more balanced?!
I won't stop there! Belts give us one more benefit: style! The reason why they stay in fashion all year round is due to how many shapes, sizes, styles and textures they come in. Think of belts the same as jewelry, like a necklace. They give extra pizzazz, texture, and color to any type of outfit.
Choose belts wisely.
My favorite way to wear a belt is with empire waist dresses. Rule of thumb in this case: wear it beneath the bust area. In the picture below, I wore a Hawaiian print dress with a brown belt. I chose a wide solid belt so it could keep up with the large print. Using a skinny belt might have worked but it wouldn't have balanced with the large print. Balance is key.
Choose which one will catch the eye first. Are you wearing a printed dress? Pick a solid belt. Is your dress plain? Use a textured belt – or even a bold color. Think black dress and bright red belt.
Want to explore more ways to wear fashion belts? Click here! You'll find more ways to incorporate belts into your lovely wardrobe that work for you! As always have a wonderful day!

Eric Yu, secretary-general of Language Big Data Alliance (LBDA) and CEO of worldwide Tone Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (GTCOM), spoke at LBDA's 2017 annual conference in Guangzhou on April 8, on reflection at LBDA's progress in the past year and then into its future.
A worldwide organization with well-structured partnership
LBDA made much headway in each and every field it reached within the founding year of 2016.
According to Eric Yu, LBDA has been moving fast towards the objective of becoming an international organization since its inception, striving to make itself better known and more influential on the planet. Its membership has covered some globally renowned universities such as University of Vienna, University of Geneva, and Gazi University.
Now LBDA has 138 members and the number is expected to help keep growing.
LBDA Europe is scheduled to be established later this season to promote resource-sharing, exchanges, and organization of international events among its member organizations worldwide.
An international platform for collaboration and resource-sharing
LBDA has run greater than 30 projects over the past year such fields as speech recognition, machine translation, and analysis of massive data, said Eric Yu. In these projects, universities and businesses worked together on translation assignments involving a total of 50 million characters.
One specific project marked a milestone within the Chinese history of translation: 750 translators from 58 universities – LBDA members – completed the translation of subtitles for 50,000-minute videos in just a week. More projects are on the way in which.
LBDA also seeks to facilitate the exchanges between its members as well as their counterparts in other countries.
At FIT Congress 2017 being locked in Brisbane, Australia in August this year, LBDA – a top partner of the congress – will invite representatives from your world's top research institutes to discuss the way forward for the translation industry.
In conclusion, Eric Yu unveiled the plan for LBDA's future development.
The entire year of 2017 will be focused on the "sharing and exchange of resources worldwide". LBDA will build a web-based platform because of its members to share and exchange resources with one another.
Moreover, the inaugural meeting of LBDA Europe is going to be locked in Switzerland in September this year.
Europe's leading universities and research institutes in such areas as journalism, psychology, neurology, medicine, language, and business could be the founding individuals LBDA Europe, and joint labs on machine translation, speech recognition, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) will probably be established included in this. Numerous key collaborative research findings will also be announced in the meeting.
LBDA Europe will really help foster collaborative innovation among Chinese joint labs as well as the leading universities and research institutes of other countries.

All my life, I wanted to be somebody! Now I see I should have been more specific.
September 16, 2008
Money or love?
The problem here is, one can be quantified, the other can't be. Anyone who says money is not important is either lying or has spent his lifetime trying to get it but has failed. The story of sour grapes. Trust me.
Money is necessary, period. The point is, how much? That is the tricky part. I think one can go on and on but still not be able to figure out how much is enough. 50lacs? A crore? 10 of them? I have no idea, even if I have to speak for myself.
But, and there is a but here, why should it be a choice - love or money? Any money acquired beyond a point at the cost of love is just not worth it, if it ever is a choice. Irrespective of whether that point is 5lacs or 50lacs.
Now, on to love side. I have been trying hard but cannot think of anyone who is not loved at all. Every body is, I am sure. Even an orphan would have friends. Love is not a function of relationships. Love is a function of how good a person you are, in absolute sense.
Apart from family and relatives, I am loved by many I know. I love a lot of people. In many senses. Never has any of them been a function of or choice with money. Never ever.
So where is the need for trying to trade off between love and money? If there still comes such a point in my life, would stick to the point I made earlier.
The ultimate objective is to feel happy end of the day. Money helps achieve this to a large extent. Love too does it, but inconsistently I believe. Money can surely help eradicate many problems. Love, I am not very very sure as much as I am about money. Money and love both can multiply by giving. Yes, even money. Finally, they both have to be given to people who deserve them. Or else you will regret it for the rest of your life, especially if it's love.

Love when given a name of a relationship becomes a problem.
I feel everybody deserves love but not money atleast not in the same proportion

Nice one ... expecting DD to respond with questions or counter arguments .... kya hua ? surrender ?

- Darshana Deshmukh said...
Na.... Surrender and me Never.
Its just that the points sir has laid down are completely true and i agree to them........
And talking about the core of the debate money or luv,
I guess all the boys would be on the side of money and the girls on the side of Luv.
I would just like to add and clearify where did this debate between me and my frnd originate from........
He was asking that given a choice whether you have to choose amongst your carrier and the one you love whoom would you choose....
And my answer was, that if the person realy loves me frm the bottom of his heart he would never ever lay such a choice in front of me...... AS simple as that....!!!!

How broadly is love defined over here?
Is it having the only meaning which DDD has interpreted?

- avani said...
I don't think girls will agree for love and guys for money all the time. There has to be a balance..
money gives you security and the power/ability to do things that one likes..on the other hand love gives you an emotional security. This totally depends on how satisfied one is at the receiving end:)
Money has the ability to strengthen and weaken any relationship..
depending on ur personal needs..one has to come to terms with both of these..
I completely agree with Harry..that they both grow when shared..

One rupee more than the richest person in this world is sufficient for me.
