Written by Jan Strnad
Art by Richard Corben
Well, this is one weird and creepy comic. Strnad and Corben came out of nowhere with this haunted, sentient castle story, and have managed to keep what sounds like a great short story or done-in-one comic going as a four-issue mini-series quite nicely.
In this issue, Herbert, Master of Ragemoor, continues to care for the colony of baboons that live in the castle, and therefore doesn't notice that the poacher Tristano has been visiting Anoria, the beautiful woman being held at the castle as the object of Herbert's affections. Broderick, the loyal manservant takes some strange hallucination-causing tea, and sees a vision of fighting golems, and Anoria makes plans to steal the mineral riches of the local countryside.
This book is unpredictable and strange, as every comic drawn by Richard Corben turns out to be. There is a very memorable scene towards the end where Broderick examines his injured arm. This comic appeals to a very niche audience, and while I wouldn't necessarily place myself in the middle of it, I am enjoying this book.

1. Intro
Whenever we use data structures that are compile time restricted in terms of extends, we allow for significant optimizations and early error detection in the expense of more cumbersome access style and code maintenance, due to the inevitable introduction of templated code. Users of such data types, algebraic (tuple, pair) or aggregate (array), breathed a sigh of relief (well… maybe not all of them) with the introduction of
std::apply in C++17, that handles the boilerplate of unpacking their contents into a callable. To give an example, you should now be able to write your callable like so
- Remain blissfully unaware of the structure that packs your arguments (the back end doesn't need to specialize for different argument sources)
- Use the callable with any of the aforementioned data types without special treatment (the front end needs no boilerplate to unpack the data structures)
So, for example, you can know invoke your callable like so
2. Creating slices
Handy as it may be, this ecosystem of data types and tools, leaves a lot to be desired. First and foremost, the slice operation i.e. the creation of an entity that captures a subset of some given data. My main motivation for this was to be able to pass slices to the apply function although while researching the topic I found an old freestanding request, which I've just answered here (isn't it a bummer when you invent something only to discover other people have had similar musings?) Below we define the tuple_slice operation that fills this gap and elaborate on the code:
Not to be confused with valarray's slice, this piece of code does 3 simple things:
- Protects from invalid instantiations with static asserts
- Forwards the container (tuple, array, pair) + an integer sequence to the implementation function
- The implementation function gets every element indexed by the sequence and forwards it as a tuple i.e. lvalues are referenced and rvalues are move constructed
A slice of
t can be obtained like so
tuple_slice<I1, I2>(t);
[I1, I2) is the exclusive range of the subset.
To be able to create slices that are not zero-based, all we do is create the index sequence out of the cardinality of the desired sequence and then offset the values. This works but a helper "make_integer_range" type would be nice to have:
You can experiment with integer ranges here. Back to the main act then (using
make_index_range to simplify the definition of
tuple_slice is trivial so we'll omit it), here are some example uses of
3. Design considerations
One might ask "Shouldn't a slice operation on an array create another array?" and this brings us to a generic code paradox: While trying to handle more cases we may end up being more restrictive; The extra effort to create respective
make_array and
forward_as_array functions is not the problem (there you go if you don't believe me). Here are the considerations:
- We cannot create an array of references, hence we'd fall back to creating an array of reference wrappers. Not only does this create an interface mismatch with the tuple case (we need to call
get()on a reference wrapper to obtain the value) but between lvalue and rvalue arrays as well: slicing the later would give us move constructed values, hence no
- How would this logic extend to the pair case? Slicing a pair does not give us yet another pair (only in the dummy case where the slice is identical to the original) so the fallback of producing a tuple would be viewed as an exception. To me, the frequency of the word "exception" in the description of a design is inversely proportional to its quality.
- Slices should handle uniformly the empty case and tuples do this .
- If there's a unique sliced type, pattern matching it would require minimum effort.
- There's always the option to create arrays out of the slices if we want to (would be interesting to see if the intermediate tuple can be optimized away) .
So, there you go … less is more

Trademarks and patents are valuable property rights that you acquire for your products, including toys. A trademark is a logo, word, phrase or design that you use to identify the toy. You acquire rights in the trademark as soon as you use the trademark -- registration is not required. A patent for your toy can only be obtained from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Trademark Rights
Using your trademark is the primary way to create trademark rights, and the level of uniqueness of the trademark determines the strength of your trademark rights. Your trademark should be a distinctive logo affixed to your toy or packaging and include the designation "TM," which signifies that you claim trademark rights in your logo. Although your trademark rights give you exclusive use of the trademark, the exclusivity is limited to the geographical area where you market your toy. In order to acquire the greatest possible trademark rights, you should market your toys in as wide an area as possible.
Trademark Registration
Registering your trademark is not necessary to acquire trademark rights, but it does give your trademark rights maximum legal protection. Federal registration is done with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and can be done online. The advantages of federal trademark registration include having the right to use federal registration symbol ® with your trademark and the right to use federal courts to enforce your trademark rights. You can also register your trademark in any state where you sell your toy.
To determine whether your toy can be patented, you should conduct a search of previously issued patent grants by the USPTO to locate any existing patent that pertains to your toy. You also need to search for "prior art," which is any publicly available knowledge that relates to the creation of your toy that predates it. A patent search is not required before submitting an application; however, the USPTO will preform such a search as part of the application examining process. Preforming a search before submitting an application will give you an idea of the likelihood that the application will be approved. Searches can be difficult and time consuming, and you may wish to have aid from an attorney or online legal provider.
Patent Grants
The USPTO is the only government agency that issues patent grants. A patent grant for your toy gives you the right to exclude anyone else from "making, using, offering for sale, or selling" the same toy. The grant also gives you the right to prevent the same toy from being imported. The typical patent grant is good for 20 years, starting from the date you file your application with the USPTO. An application for a patent grant requires a written description for your toy regarding its specifications; a drawing of the toy; and a statement under oath regarding ownership. An online document provider can help you with the application process.

American League Wild Card Playoff Preview: Baltimore at Texas
American League Wild Card Playoff:
Baltimore at Texas
Texas Rangers
Why Rangers Fans Should Heed my Data-Based Analysis: At the third-quarter mark of the regular season, the Rangers had the best record in the American League and had scored the most runs in baseball. Yet, I wrote, "look closer. They outscored their opponents by just 3 runs in Q2 and by 6 runs in Q3. They scored 19 less runs in Q2 than Q1 and 22 less runs in Q3 than Q2. If this were a stock chart, you'd be worried."
Why Rangers Fans Should Ignore my Data-Based Analysis: Despite my preseason pessimism that foresaw Texas merely slipping into the Wild Card game largely due to age-related decline, they still won five more games and scored 70 more runs than I projected.
After the Rangers dropped Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, I had a lot of fun putting together a list of baseball games that fit the "Dead Man Walking" criteria Bill Simmons defined years ago in his seminal column on the Levels of Losing. There has never been a Wild Card, one-and-done playoff format before, so we're all free to play psychologist for a day and take a guess at what effect blowing the AL West title will have on the Rangers. (Best tweet I saw yesterday: "The U.S. Ryder Cup team is impressed with the Rangers collapse.")
I believe strongly in the Dead Man Walking theory but those types of losses are, by (Simmons') definition, playoff losses "so harrowing there's no way possible way they can bounce back." Texas' loss wasn't technically a playoff loss and I don't think the manner in which they lost was harrowing. I prefer to turn to noted baseball philosopher and former long-time manager of the Baltimore Orioles, Earl Weaver. When asked by a reporter whether he was concerned about his team's momentum Weaver replied, "Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher."
Well, tomorrow's starting pitcher for Texas is Yu Darvish.
With Darvish on the mound the Rangers are not battling the Orioles with the 93-win team that completed the regular season but with a 100-win team that would score 824 runs and allow 623 over an entire season. (The 201-run differential converts to a .618 win percentage, or 100 wins over a 162-game season. More on that calculation in the Orioles section below.)
Why project the Rangers to be an 824 run scoring team rather than the one which scored 808 runs in the regular season? Largely due to the return of catcher Mike Napoli who missed about one-third of the regular season with injuries. For this one game, the Rangers are putting their very best team on the field.
Baltimore Orioles
Why Orioles Fans Should Heed my Data-Based Analysis: There is no reason. I projected the Orioles to win 71 games – missing their season-ending total by a whopping 22 games. At the end of the first quarter, I still contended they wouldn't finish above .500. Even after 121 games, I insisted they wouldn't make the playoffs.
Why Orioles Fans Should Ignore my Data-Based Analysis: See above. If I had a sports column in the Baltimore Sun, I'd be under more attack than anyone in the city since "Bunny" Colvin sanctioned the Hamsterdam experiment.
Baltimore's front-office, led by General Manager Dan Duquette deserves a lot of credit for how they handled the roster over the course of the season. Every baseball analyst in existence pointed out ad nauseam that for most of the season the Orioles had a winning record despite being outscored by their opponents. This is a rare occurrence overall (no team this year had a winning record with a negative run differential or vice-versa) and while it sometimes happens somewhere close to the 81-win level (just above or below .500) it is nearly unheard of for a team twenty games over .500, as the Orioles were in September. (For the record, Baltimore finished 24 games above .500 while outscoring its opponents by just 7 runs.)
Commentators notice run differentials these days thanks to Bill James' Pythagorean Theorem, an elegant little equation which converts a team's runs scored and runs allowed into an expected winning percentage with a high-degree of accuracy. The equation has been modified since James' original work and looks like this today:
RS^1.83 / ((RS^1.83) + (RA^1.83)) = Team Winning Percentage
While commentators like me were complaining about the Orioles win total in comparison to its talent, Duquette kept watching his team bank wins, which sustainable or not, had the effect of shortening the season much like a Pete Carril-coached Princeton basketball team would shorten a basketball game. Once there were less than 80 games left in the season, Duquette knew he'd never have to give back the prior wins, he just needed to figure out a way for the Orioles to keep playing .550 or better baseball. So he went out and improved the team, acquiring Jim Thome, and Nate McClouth for little cost and fixing a huge hole at third base by promoting the organization's top prospect, 20-year old Manny Machado from the minors.
It was a genius move as McLouth and Machado paid instant dividends and Thome, a left-handed power hitter, strengthens the entire line up vs. right handed pitchers. Baltimore may have had a negative run differential deep into the season, but thanks to the moves of Duquette, they were positively not fielding a sub-.500 team during the stretch run – a fact that many may have missed if solely focused on the entire season's run differential. To wit: Over the last 41 games of the season, the Orioles outscored their opponents by 50 runs, 203 to 153.
So what kind of team is Baltimore bringing to the one-game showdown in Texas? Well, Orioles fans, don't put away the torches and pitchforks yet, because I've got one last indignity to heap on you. The Orioles scored 712 runs this year; I see the starting line up that they'll take into the playoffs scoring 749 runs due to the late season changes mentioned above. That's the good news.
The bad news is that not only do the Orioles lack a true ace at the top of their rotation, thanks to their need to win every game up until the last day of the season, they are in a quandary as to who can take the mound versus the Rangers. Forced to pick between soft-tossing righty, Steve Johnson and soft-tossing lefty Joe Saunders, manager Buck Showalter went with Saunders, presumably because he's valuing experience (189 lifetime starts vs. 4 for Johnson.) Neither pitcher does much to dent Texas' advantage in the game but there are two problems with the decision, as I see it.
The Rangers produced about 7% more offense versus left-handed pitchers in 2012 compared to right-handers. Also, I view Johnson as the better choice because of, not despite of his inexperience. The Rangers have plenty of experience against Saunders during his time with Anaheim and I doubt if they are anything but excited about getting to hit against Saunders. Saunders has a 6.48 ERA vs. Texas in 11 career starts and that looks downright ace-like compared to his 9.38 ERA (!) when facing the Rangers in Texas. Without a doubt, I'd start the game with Johnson on the mound and if he's ineffective or unable to overcome his balky knee, I'd have Saunders ready to go in relief as early as the 2nd inning.
With Saunders on the mound, the Orioles bring an 81-win team to Texas and if Johnson had started or ends up with the ball in his hands after an inning or two they're probably an 83-win team. People have doubted Baltimore all year, and I've been at the front of the line. Fans of the team should simply tune me out and enjoy playoff baseball for the first time since 1997.
Home Field
RS RA Win % Adjustment
Baltimore 749 745 .503 34.5%
Texas 824 633 .618 65.5% <--- Est. Win Probability
(For those of you inclined to 'invest' in baseball games, this projection means I find value in any Rangers market priced below -190. The Orioles look attractive at a price of +195 or better.)
In the pre-season, I wrote about the expected effect of aging on the core of the Texas line up and I'm sticking to that call in the post season. Texas' level of play declined sharply after the first quarter of the season and aging almost certainly played a factor in the steep drop-off in production from Michael Young, the less steep but noticeable decline in Nelson Cruz, and the sharp drop in defensive efficiency of the entire team. They should get by the Orioles, but I think that's the last time there will be a celebration around the pitching mound this October for the Texas Rangers.

i've written at the hand mirror today, about the "fairness at work" rally i mentioned yesterday & attended in hamilton today. i don't belong to any union, as there isn't one for accountants, and i bet i was the only accountant in that crowd! also, i'm really lucky to have excellent employers. so my being there was more to support workplace rights for everyone.
also at the hand mirror is a post i put up a few days ago on the religious & cultural restrictions around menstruation.
i was looking for this on youtube the other day, for no particular reason other than it's great & i was remembering how much i loved star trek. enjoy.

This time, Erin broke the news to me. Sadly, Erin didn't report back with news about ordering room service like Tim did. Ah well.
This blew my mind. I was shocked. I guess he's not someone I ever thought of passing away, especially since he was so young. Quite sad for his children. I'm also choosing to not mention his recent personal problems, but focus more on what I hope will be a more positive and lasting legacy... his music.
Also, is this a statement on public media or what? Twitter and Facebook were INSANE with this news. They essentially blew up, even when just TMZ was reporting this.
He definitely had a huge influence on modern pop. The song style, the dancing, the (and I say this with the 70's and 80's in mind) polished-ness of it. Pop artists of the 90's to the present wouldn't be where they are without Michael Jackson.
I think the reason why I'm so surprised he died is because I literally can't remember a time before he was big and so influential musically. I can rattle off ten songs of his without even trying. The one glitter glove. The Moonwalk. We Are The World. Pepsi. Thriller, for Christ's Sake. My mom sings Billy Jean to my dog on the regular.
His influence on culture will be felt, just like Elvis and The Beatles before him. I'm sure there'll be tributes pouring in for him for a long time better written than mind.
It's been real, Michael Jackson.

Looking For Treatment Services Colorado? – Call (877) 430-9797 Now!
If everything is going wrong, and life seems like it's flying out of hand, it is okay to allow family members to help. Entering a rehabilitation program is usually a tricky choice, but can result in life-altering changes that strengthen physical as well as psychological and emotional health. Several Substance Treatment Centers Colorado are among the most qualified and cost-effective facilities available today, employing substance abuse specialists that possess experience with dependency and empathy for the ones suffering from it. Addiction doesn't need to be a way of life, and most Treatment Center Programs Colorado can help make sobriety real and long-lasting.
What Is Rehabilitation?
The entire Drug Treatment Rehab Centers Colorado know that the most important part of effective treatment is to customize a rehabilitation plan for each client. However, before that happens, each and every client has to go through a clinical evaluation, in order to help health care professionals know what kind of treatment is acceptable, useful, and effective. Some people have very serious medical conditions that will affect rehabilitation, while others could have unresolved emotional problems. Most recovery centers are prepared to help clients who also suffer from emotional and psychological problems. Treatment varies from individual to individual, but normally clients can expect to participate in group and one-on-one counseling, family group counseling, and prevention-focused recovery groups, such as 12-step programs.
What Types of Rehabilitation Are Available?
There are different levels of rehab, and it will depend on the individual's needs which one will be suitable. The level of rehabilitation is different for an individual that has a few years of sobriety, but has recently had a relapse, than for an individual who has been continuously using for a long time. Inpatient facilities combine detoxification and rehab services in one location – typically at a hospital or medical clinic. Inpatient care isn't as commonplace as it used to be, but detox continues to be a process that should be medically supervised in a hospital unit or clinic. Clients are urged to proceed directly to any rehab centers if they first require to have any detoxification services.
Outpatient care typically takes place in health clinics, counselor's offices, neighborhood medical clinics, or in residential treatment programs with outpatient services. People participating in outpatient care stay at home and travel to daily rehabilitation classes at a facility. All Rehab Treatment Centers Colorado specialize in residential care, which combines the best parts of inpatient and outpatient facilities. Clients live in affluent, residential accommodations, and commute to the treatment facility and daily support group meetings. In this method, when addicts eventually leave rehabilitation they have relearned how to behave in society, and are able to face the pressures and temptations of life.
Treatment Programs Can Help!
Agreeing to enter a rehab program is the most effective way to combat dependency's dangerous grasp, and can improve the quality and length of life of an addict. Although it is not a choice to be made lightly, deciding to agree to a rehab program, or deciding to help a friend or loved one agree to enter treatment, can save a life. Sometimes it is tough to locate high quality rehabilitation and select which program to choose. Different Colorado Addiction Treatment Programs has skilled recovery specialists available 24 hours a day to answer questions, assist in finding rehabilitation locations, and offer advice.

The Indian marriage season has begun a few days back. The roads are full of marriage processions. One does not mind the marriages nor the processions. It is the nuisance, noise and the dirt they throw around which makes it a painful experience.
The mushrooming of party plots is another big nuisance for the hapless people living around it. The marriage parties are totally unmindful of the noise pollution they are causing to young students who want to study and to the old persons who want to rest. Any time of day and night is music time for these party plots.
Theprocess of causing all round nuisance starts from the bridegroom's place from where the baraat is supposed to depart. The family members and friends start assembling most of the time on the road outside the house. This is the start of the process of causing obstruction to the traffic moving on the road. Most of the time the poor bandwallas along with their odd sized musical instruments are scattered on the outside road. An hour or so before the baraat departure they are asked to play music and what is worse one of them starts singing. I have yet to hear someone singing in a harmonius voice. The most hoarse voice is accompanied by the most loud music and the result is noise at very high decilbles. It is simply pain to the listeners. One has to bear with it because it being marraige canot be opposed.
After what seems to be an eternity the baraat finally departs to the relief of the neighbours. Now it is noise pollution of the severest kind in motion. The procession occupies more than half the road and traffic jams build up.
Finally they reach the bride's place and one type of nuisance is over. At the brides place they play loud music through recorded music or some untrained singer and they are also fulfilling their quota of delivering noise pollution all around. Once the marriage is solemnised it is reason to furthur create noise and fireworks pollution. Irrespective of the hour especially late nights, the bridegroom's party start burstng rockets and other type of noise crackers to announce that the maririge is over and they are now departing with the bride.
All along the marriage procession leaves a trail of spent fire crackers and plastic glasses and so on.
Why can't the marriages be held in a sophisticated and sober way without noise and other types of pollution so that others along the way can also give their blessings rather than their curses

"Hey Atyatbudha, meet my friend Shoonyabandhu"
And anyway, the book should have been titled "Penguin book of Sanskrit names", because that is all there is in it. Apart from two and a half Tamil names and one Malayalam. The latter is priceless -- "Pakal". Meaning "day". I think the woman does not realise the difference between "word" and "name", because clearly, Pakal (like many others in the book) is a word, and certainly not a name. I challenge her to introduce me to a Pakal Kumar or a Pakal Menon.
The blurb reads: "The aim of the work is twofold: to serve as a practical guide for parents choosing a name for their offspring; and to provide a precise and in-depth sourcebook for scholars, pandits and lay readers who like to know what familiar (and not so familiar) Hindu names actually mean." But when bookstores keep it in the child-care section, be assured that people who pick it up are looking for names for their babies. And then imagine coming across something like Arbuda, meaning tumour!
Don't even get me started on the many names that mean things like hell, blood, worm and a collection of such unpleasantness.

"I want to break free"
The bump is growing and I am expected to be happy all the time. It's been fun so far. And the rest of the journey better continue being so. Though it scares me a bit -- what is now a bump will soon be an individual, with likes and dislikes, screaming for attention...

My phone got stolen!
All my contacts from the last so many years, all the birthday reminders, all the lovely pictures, my Snake score.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And I loved my phone. While S saw it as an opportunity to buy a new phone, I wanted the same model. My sleek and slim beautiful phone... sigh...

Jaane tu ya...
Anyway, about the film. Just another college romance flick, people have said. Chocolate boy hero, cliched plot, people have said. But I enjoyed every bit of it. Apart from the fact that the boy and girl called each other Rats and Meow. Ack! But the supporting cast -- superb! Naseeruddin Shah in his portrait frame, Paresh Rawal insisting that there are many more nasty policemen like him in the force, Ratna Pathak Shah trying to keep the violent strain out of her son. The best of the lot is certainly the witty and engaging script.
Like adding his signature at the end of a letter, Abbas Tyrewala's parting shot: An old man with a long grey beard fallen asleep in the arrival lounge of the Mumbai airport holding a placard that says "Mr Godot". :)

In the last three years that we have lived here, we have had several godly processions disturbing general peace. But this was the last straw. The procession started at 11 in the night from somewhere in the labyrinth beyond. The noise took an hour to die out of our range of hearing. At midnight, when things had quietened down, we stumbled bleary eyed to bed. Only to be rudely woken up again at 1 am. It soon peaked, as the return journey closed in on us. And stayed at that peak, right below our window, for a good 15 minutes. And so the procession proceeded, painfully slow, stopping every 100 metres or so and going into frenzies. We even called the cops, and said how can you allow such public nuisance at this time of the night? But it's god's business, they said.
If that particular god was really happy yesterday, I really don't want to know that god.
And if your religious sentiments have been hurt by this post, please explain to me this style of worship and why it is unavoidable.

Water bottle philosophy
Anyway, here goes Bottle 1:
"I grew up in a world where Ayurveda came without labels attached. Where water was filled with natural minerals like sodium and calcium. In keeping with the times, we've just put a label on it."
Even better is Bottle 2:
"I look back on life -- it's funny how things turn out. You, a connoisseur of fast food, now gaze at water that took years to make. And I, some of the purest water in the world, stand here, trapped in a bottle. Come, enjoy the irony."
How could one drink it after all that...? I felt I should set it free or something...
After over three months.
Not that I didn't have anything to write about.
But that I didn't want to write.

Hot scones and boarding schools and fairies and adventures
I didn't grow out of those for a long, long time. Who would want to? The British countryside and all the lovely food would have anyone hooked. But then, one discovered Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys.
Anyway, why I am rambling about all this today is because after several years, I picked up an Enid Blyton. A mystery story with two boys and a girl. I was enjoying it till I read this:
"Pam, you may only be a girl but you have some great ideas."
Whoa!! What? Did I just read that? And it went on – the girl was very pleased at the compliment. The book was full of such remarks and instances.
And then one sat down and recalled all the characters one could. It was appalling. It was always the girls who brought the lemonade, Anne loved to "keep home" for the rest of the Famous Five while George(iana) had to have the excuse that she wanted to be a boy in order to wear trousers and keep her hair short and generally do everything the boys did, the aunts did nothing better than bake. Did I really grow up on such stuff??
I am just so slow in realising these things… A quick internet threw up a lot of information on controversies and revisions, on how her writing promoted negative stereotypes regarding gender and even race. But will this stop me from reading her books? I certainly was disgusted with this one instance, but I still love

How desperate can (some) men get?
If you are a girl, and if you are at a restaurant/pub/disc, and if you need to go to the loo, and if you have a girl friend with you, please take her along.
Last weekend, San and I were at this rather hep lounge bar in city with another couple. Several songs later, the place was closing for the night, and we were leaving and I took a quick trip to the loo. I open the door to the women's loo and what do I find? A man sprawled on the floor, peeping into one of the stalls through the small ventilation panel at the bottom of the door. The daze that I was in kind of snapped as I wondered whether he is the cleaning boy blowing dust off the door. That couldn't be. So then one shouted -- what the hell was he doing? The chap mumbled something about how he was looking for his friend and said "It's ok, I will wait outside."
I was such a dull head then that I actually bought the story and thought there really weren't anyone in the stalls. And just then one babe walked out of the stall, called out to her friend who was in the other, who also walked out soon, and they left. And I gaped...
Long and short of the story is, no matter where you are, if you are going to the loo and if you have a friend with you, please get her to accompany you...

The little town is all grown up
How the place has changed...
The road that was once a mere trickle of tar, is now a broad road complete with bustling shopping centres on either sides, a huge traffic island and all such jazz.
There are hardly any locals left. Oh well, how would there be? They are all here in Bangalore! :)
People do not stare at foreigners any more. White skin seems pretty much as common as coconut trees.
The city has gone green! Plastic bags of some certain quality have been coming under bans for long, but now stores are giving out paper or cloth bags. One of the most popular local supermarket chains is offering incentives to customers for returning plastic bags.
Real estate has shot up and how! And much like Bangalore, it is now one of the favourite topics of discussion.
People I know pay more rent than I do in Bangalore.
People pay with Sodexho coupons.
But there are some things that will never change...
If you are female and are wearing jeans, you will be stared at because possibilities are, u are the only one in jeans in a 2km radius.
If you are female, you will be stared at because the mass migration to greener pastures seems to have left behind all the lecherous men.
The buses are just as rash; the conductors still have the same incantations to announce the destination.
Most of the junta still know the timings of the peak-hour inter-city trains.

That I am appalled goes without saying. That I am now scared of crowds is understood. That now I am very conscious about every small action or look of mine when I go out (what if someone misunderstands my glance at the traffic for a come-hither?), is scaring me. What am I turning into? Where will such paranoia take me?
Here's one remark I heard recently about this: "They were smooching on the road. No wonder the women got grabbed at."
I don't know how far that is true, but nevertheless pointed out that if a woman is kissing her partner on the road, it is NOT an invitation to the world to paw her.
Counter argument came: "This is not US, this is India. When they are here, they better know how to behave here."
So then, is this a punishment for not "behaving"?
That apart, what egged the crowd along is the fact that the women swore at the men for commenting at them. So at the base of it, it is a simple question of a hurt male ego. Problem was, this was a case of a mammoth inflammable ego -- the collective ego of a monster with 70-odd heads.
Ugh.... I don't even want to talk more about it... Only hope the girls manage to get over the trauma. But will they ever be able to? I don't know...
There's a discussion going on here. Do join in.
I am back, refreshed.
There certainly is a good reason why a relieving letter is called so. It is so damn relieving! So relieved to be out of there, relieved not to be worrying about the next day, relieved not to be bothered about lists and lists and lists, relieved that I will no longer be playing event manager/host/shadow/entertainer/usher/errand girl at the many inane events. Whew! :)

Some people say that your kidneys will shut down.
Some people say that your belly will hurt and you'll feel terrible.
Some people say you will even get fat.
Now as with every topic, there is a little bit of truth and a whole lot of misinformation with these statements.
If you have kidney problems already and you don't have the proper macronutrient ratio and calories in your meal plan, then yes these things can happen. But it means that you are doing it wrong.
A normal person who has healthy kidneys and eats a balanced meal plan with protein, fats and carbs will rarely suffer from the above statements. There is a specific reason for each one to happen.
Existing Kidney problems can be made worse by high protein intake but protein consumption rarely causes kidney problems.
High protein intake will tear up your stomach if you don't eat good fats and fibrous carbs with it.
And if your calorie intake is too low or too high, you can get fat.
The reality is that higher (not extreme) protein intake combined with good fats and fibrous carbs in the right ratio, will aid in performance enhancement, lean body mass production and fat loss.
In a nutshell, you will get leaner, stronger and faster, quite quickly.
Recent example: Cagefighter, my loyal, diehard, still running, great client is always battling the nutrition plan as she does too much activity and never eats enough. So her performance goes way up and way down based upon how much running she does compared to how well she is eating.
I always harp on her to eat more of the right stuff and to crank up her protein. Sometimes she listens, sometimes she doesn't and in the Iron garage gym - it's quickly apparent whether she did or not that week.
Yesterday, she came in and hit the bowflex chest press which is always a hard one for her. She usually can only put on a few light resistance rods. But I put on all the rods for max resistance to see what would happen. To my surprise, she knocked out a dozen reps for multiple sets - never done before in over two years. Her pushups (military standard) were remarkably better as well.
I asked her what did she do differently this week? She told me that she had eaten more protein in the form of chicken and fish than she normally does. So, naturally, I told her to keep at it.
Now this is not surprising to me as this has happened repeatedly over the last 8 years in the garage gym and other locations with dozens of clients. Higher protein intake = increased performance and normally improved body composition as well.
So if your performance or fat loss goals are not being met, simply adjust your macronutrient ratio during your non-workout meals to high protein, medium fat and low carb and your pre/post workout meals to high carb, medium protein and low fat. Try it for a couple weeks and see what happens. 9 times out of 10, you will see some rapid, great things happen.
Give it a try and let me know how it works out.

Roadtrip: Anvaya Cove
Thursday, April 22, 2010
MIL celebrates her 68th birthday with a series of roadtrip. Anvaya Cove was the first leg. We left Manila a bit late already because the kids had to do finish some requirements in school. It took us a little over 2 hours to get to Subic. We had lunch at Teriyaki Boy first before proceeding to Anvaya Cove. It's a second for me and the hubs at Anvaya, and the first for the kids. Like us, they enjoyed so much. It was fun swimming in the beach, and it was nice lounging around the pool too. Nope, no tan lines for us since we got to the place pretty late, the sun was not harsh enough to produce tan lines in our bodies. Good if I may say since it's not really good to stay under the sun. Yeah I know, going to the beach is not complete without those tan lines/sunburn. Probably next time then, but no, we are scared to get skin CA.
*more stories to come - we did 3 legs.

This rice is super versatile! I love it because it can go with my "Cafe Rio" salads, or with grilled salmon. My family likes it as a side dish to just about anything. I prefer this recipe to other lime rice recipes because I don't like garlic in my rice. Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of chopped cilantro to the rice cooker as well. This is perfect because it has flavor, but doesn't necessary scream Mexican dish. In fact, depending on what I'm serving with, I don't always add the cumin. I like to make this in my rice cooker, but you could certainly fix it on the stove.
5 rice cooker cups of rice (about 3 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons butter, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon lime juice, or juice of 1/2 a lime
3 chicken bouillon cubes
cilantro, chopped (if desired)
water - fill to line 5 of rice cooker
Rinse rice. Add water to line 5 on the rice cooker. Place butter, salt, cumin, lime juice and chicken bouillon cubes in the rice cooker. Close lid and cook.

............. for all the negativity of late. As much as things have been sucking a lot, that is no excuse. The Year of Self is meant to be a POSITIVE thing, not a whiny, self-pitying one. So, positive stuff.
I have a trial for a waitressing job tomorrow. I stole a mate's newspaper (no-one had one yesterday, not even the supermarkets) and rang this afternoon. As much as I am enjoying being home with The Mister, we need money (other than the Government pittance) coming in. At present it's ok, but when the cold weather comes, it won't be.
I have knocked over 2 of the 3 assignments I was working on (the third isn't due until the 18th) and have started gathering resources for the 4th (due 22nd). I have nfi if I got any of them right, but I am not worrying - neither of the 2 I submitted count to my grade (Phew!) and even if they did, there's no point worrying about it. Once they are gone, I can't do a whole lot.
Today I saw my Mouse, he is growing so much!! I will post a pic this week. He is still very much Pop's boy. And The Mister SO hates being a Pop to the other 2 as well (Miss23's from another relationship). So much so that he ran around the yard with them, gave them aeroplanes and then, once we were safely in the car and out of sight, pulled over and cried for 10 minutes because of the pain in his hip.
Mr14 was good this weekend - I know for a fact there were 2 parties he was invited to, but he stayed home. I am working on being grateful for the small things.

As I was looking at www.fieldstonehilldesign.com. this morning, I stumbled across something that really got my blood movin! Not only do I absolutely LOVE the decor in this room.. but... {squeal}
THIS is in MY family room!! {elevated squeal}
Please pardon my less-than-elaborate camera's taking abilities... I really do need a new camera!
I LOVE how stately and beautifully breath taking the designer's pelican picture is!! I have been in love with my picture since I first laid eyes on it! So much so that the decor in my entire downstairs has evolved from this picture! The wall color is even a shade in the pelican's bill.
Here are a few more picts of my family room...
I am currently in the market for a larger rug. I have been to Home Goods ALOT and just haven't found THE one! We have 2 domesticated-because-they-seriously-think-they-are-human dogs, Australian Shepherds - Weezie and Stella- so I can't get anything looped. I've been warned that their nails will pull the loops. I do love the look of jute and sisal and I know either would look amazing in here, however I spend the majority of my time barefoot when I am indoors and those textures are just not doin it for me. I may have to compromise and get house shoes just so I can have the "look" I am after. But hey, if you have any suggestions.. suggest away! Really! OH and I should mention the ottoman is being revamped (just haven't found "the" perfect fabric yet) and I have considered painting my coffee table to look more like PB's version..
See what I mean.. it never stops. lol!
I know I need a cord cover for the tv. It's yet another project that I have procrastinated accomplishing.
Here's where the "sporadic" really comes in~ I tend to be random. Bare with me please. So, I would like to paint this dresser using Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint! I just can't decide what color! There are soo many beautiful colors to choose from! What would your choice be??
And last, but certainly not least..
These are on my kitchen window sill... I LOVE blue Ball jars! They speak for themselves. :)
Can't we just say that the above pictures are my BEFORE pictures and call it good??

A selection of the latest stories involving Tottenham Hotspur this Tuesday evening.
Tottenham defender Kyle Walker said his return to Premier League action after a long-term pelvis injury 'could not have gone better'.
Walker played the full 90 minutes of the side's 2-1 win over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday, facing up to Jefferson Montero for most of the game.
The right-back told the club's website: "Montero is probably the quickest I've come up against and after nine months out, you don't really need that!
"I thought I did okay, so credit to the fitness coaches who have got me back into good shape. Hopefully it's a stepping stone in the right direction."
Spurs are in action in the Capital One Cup against Newcastle United at White Hart Lane tomorrow night as they bid to book a place in the semi-finals of the competition.
Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino has told reporters that Emmanuel Adeabyor will not be involved after returning for training following compassionate leave, but defender Kyle Naughton is available.
The Spurs boss said: "He will not be considered for tomorrow. He only started again yesterday to train and after one week away, it is impossible to be ready to play tomorrow."

THURSDAY: Analysts got astonished as when Wal-Mart reports its quarterly revenue and earnings' report – the financial data revealed bullish results to what they had been projecting. Report showcased retailer in best for its performance in U.S market.
Exclusive data obtained from CNBC cites (for readers' concern):
Right after the financial report, retailer's shares surged by 9% by mid-day.
|The first Q depicted an EPS worth 98 cents in comparison to $1.03 a year ago – bullish than analysts' forecast of 88 cents|
|As for revenue, The Q estimated $115.9 billion in comparison figured $114.83 billion – bullish than analysts' forecast of $113.22 billion|
|The retailer issued 2Q guidance for EPS worth 95 cents to $1.08, in comparison to 98 cents|
|Shares of Wal-Mart are bullish worth12% year to date. However it had been struggling for the past one year – drooping by nearly 10%|
Collectively, the U.S store sales had hiked by 1% in the Q – beating analyst prediction of 0.5%.
"There's a mismatch there. What we need to see is that they can grow sales and earnings over time. Right now they're investing in the business — in labor, in prices — to drive the long term. I think it's going to take several quarters before we see any evidence that this is working." – UBS retail analyst Michael Lasser (source: CNBC's Squawk on the Street).
"Several things [are] working for the consumer: fuel prices, unemployment and interest rates still low. But there is an air of uncertainty that is likely keeping the consumer from being as bullish as they would like to be." Wal-Mart CFO, Brett Biggs
UPDATE: MONDAY: The retailing giant announced to have had signed an expanded sourcing deal with McKesson, that could aid lower cost it expands an alliance for jointly procuring generic medicines, in collaborating with the U.S. drug distributor.

The very first thing though we purchased for her was done 6 years ago. When Discovery Furniture was moving from what is now the Hobby Lobby building, they auctioned off all of the furniture on the floor. Being sure that at some point and time we would have a girl, we bought this crib at a fabulous price:
Here is what it looks like on the inside. (I love the mirror inside!):
On Craigslist I found an awesome pink upholstered chair and ottoman for her room. It's going to look great! (Sorry, no picture of it yet, because I haven't taken one of it yet!)
Our latest purchase was crib bedding. I found a set on Target. It's the simple, yet elegant look that I was looking for. Plus, it didn't break the bank. Here's some pictures of it:The bumper up close:
The crib sheet:
And the crib skirt:
I am really excited as to how Ella's room is coming along. In the future I really would like to still buy the matching dresser for her room, but that may have to wait for a while! I'll eventually post pictures once the room is all together. I just couldn't wait to share all of the purchases we've made!


text: So I was driving down I-10 today and stopped off in Schulenburg (around mile marker 674 or so). Popped into a place on the north side of the freeway called Oakridge Smokehouse. Tried the buffet, it sucked. While walking out, I glanced over and noticed some jerky. Took a second look and saw they also had baked goods. So, I snag some jerky for the ride (since the buffet sucked) and a loaf of raisin bread. The other stuff looked pretty good too, but I didn't want to spend too much if their counter goods matched their buffet goods. HOLY CRAP!!! The bread was GREAT!! We've already gone through the entire loaf. If you ever, and I mean EVER, pass this place, get a loaf. You will not be disappointed (provided this is their usual quality). If it isn't, well, it was only $4.25. BTW, the jerky was also pretty good. Is $8.50 a pound iirc. EDIT: pricing mistake on jerky ... is $25 a pound

I know a book is good when I can read it in 2 days when I have three kids and it's a holiday weekend. I could not put this book down and I have the bags under my eyes to show for it. Kath gave a great review of this book but I just felt like I had to put in my two cents...okay more like 50 cents! I don't' know if it's just because I haven't read anything riveting lately, but this book really drew me in. I don't usually like books written in the first person but for some reason it really works in this book and I feel like I AM Katniss. I hope that didn't sound weird. I can just feel her conflict as if they were my own thoughts. Katniss is such a great character. She isn't too idyllic nor too imperfect....she is just real. I like Peeta although he is just a tad too self-sacrificing. I usually find love triangles super annoying but this one is written so well. My take is that Gale is who she should want but doesn't deep down. Peeta seems all wrong for her but is the yin to her yang. I know the yin/yang thing took you back to the 80's but I couldn't resist. I like Gale but I'm not attached to him. I have a feeling that will change in the next book though. He will probably play a more prominent roll. When I found out they were going back to the Hunger Games I worried that it was too formulated. The fact that she could create the fear and intensity a second time was amazing. I'll tell you what, Suzanne Collins is one sick twisted freak to come up with some of that stuff and I loved every minute. The mockingjay's mimicking their loved ones raised the hair on my neck. I liked all the new characters and the mystery of what is going to happen. The cliffhanger killed me. I can't wait for the next one. Has she announced when it is coming out? Kath will know.

Catching Fire - Jess's Take
Spoiler Alert: The following does contain spoilers.
Labels: Fantasy, Jessica Review, Romance, YA
3 comments:
So glad you both loved it! Wasn't it just TERRIFIC?ReplyDelete
Gotta say, I'm Team Gale :)
I think I could be happy with whomever she chooses. With Twilight I was so Team Jacob that I was almost disappointed with Edward. With this series they both seem like they could be right. I just don't know Gale well enough to really really like him like I do Peeta. I think I'll be Team Switzerland leaning towards Peeta! How's that for non-committal?ReplyDelete
I am hoping for more from Gale in the next book. Glad you liked it.ReplyDelete
Team Katniss though!

Happy St. Paddy's Day! Hope you are wearing green!
Today is going to be a condensed version of the Value Index. I stayed up too late watching March Madness Thursday evening and am just now getting around to looking into tonight's 8-game slate in the NBA.
I think you can make this a 7-game slate by eliminating the Toronto/Detroit game. That game has the lowest total on the board and unless DeMarre Carroll sits (meaning Norman Powell is firmly in play), I have no interest in this game.
Also, today's picks are going to take a stroll down narrative street. I like sports narratives and believe they serve a purpose most days. In my analysis,
And I want to have a little fun! I am going to list the narratives for each of the 5 players below, and only a little bit about why I like them, nothing too elaborate for today.
So away we go…
Analysis: Finding a gif of Rozier was impossible, so here's this pic, that of course, I did not take and belongs to Cardinal Connect. Oh, so what's the narrative here? It's Terry Rozier's birthday today! Also, Isaiah Thomas is out, AND it's Brooklyn. At minimum salary, there's plenty of opportunity for Rozier to see increased minutes. i mean, it's his birthday.
Analysis: The first narrative here is that Isaiah Thomas is out today and Smart is drawing the start. He's facing Brooklyn, so we know that's already a great spot for a guy that should see 30 minutes. The last narrative is completely fabricated by me and should also be included in Rozier's analysis: It's St. Patrick's Day and the Celtics wear green.
Analysis: Shabazz was badazz man at UCLA and its March Madness, so that's the first narrative (totally illogical though), But truthfully, someone has to play the SG position for the T'Wolves. Lance Stephenson is out, Zach Lavine is out, Norman Bjelica is out, and Brandon Rush (a former March Madness darling) is terrible. He played 31 minutes last time out and scored more than 30 DK points. In his lone matchup against the Heat this season, he had 16 DK points in limited minutes. Should Muhammad play 25 or more minutes, it shouldn't take much for him to make value, especially if he's seeing lots of minutes with the second unit should Rush start.
Analysis: Before i get into both narratives here, just know this is strictly a tournament play. I like to recommend players that i feel comfortable with for both tournaments and cash games, but this is strictly a narrative-only play. OK, so this is a #revengegame for Anderson against his former team, AND he's on the road. For some reason, he has produced better numbers for Houston when they are away from home court (27 FPPG on the road compared to 20 FPPG at home). Anderson also didn't make a shot in his last game against the Lakers, so surely he can't be THAT cold again, right?
Analysis: I think center is really deep tonight, so I am going to cross my fingers that Nerlens is pleading and begging to start tonight against his former team. That's the narrative Noel vs. the team that traded him just weeks ago. The 76ers have been absolutely dreadful against centers since Embiid was shut down and Noel was traded. I don't care if Noel still comes off the bench, i think he sees the minutes in a game that we should hope stays close. #boomroasted

Sea of Change
I am not accomplishing much today. Trying to keep my distraught granddog happy as we await the arrive of "Fred" (I've been calling him this since my son and daughter-in-law have not settled on a name). I've waited a long time to be a grandma! He certainly is taking his time getting here. Sang has been at the hospital since 11 last night. One of things that I have been doing today is tidying up my office. It's this mindless busy work that often gets my brain engaged.
I have been thinking a great deal lately about patterns- those in my life as well as family and friends. Perhaps we don't have to keep repeating our mistakes until we get them right. Tuli Kupferberg put it so well, "When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge." Perhaps we can recognize our way out of patterns rather then repeat our way out of them. I know I want to be a healthy, happy person so change is needed.
David Campbell said that "discipline is remembering what you want." What do you want that inspires your work? When I think about discipline I realize that discipline can be obtained by punishment, chastising and coercion or by consistent guidance and positive reinforcement. When I was younger, I use to motivate myself by waiting until the last minute before a deadline, deliberately creating stressful crisis energy to get myself going. Now I develop a plan and a time line. I tend to get things done sooner than later. It is a much healthier and gentler approach, but it took time, awareness and effort to make it happen.
Patti Digh also watched patterns and came up with six practices for being mindful and living intentionally. I wrote them in my journal a couple of years ago. Thankfully I found them again today when I was actually searching for something else. Isn't life grand when that happens! They are now on a post-it note on my computer as a constant reminder:
Intensity: Say yes
Inclusion: Be generous
Integrity: Speak up
Intimacy: Love more
Intuition: Trust yourself
Intention: Slow down
Live fully!

Thank you for this significant post. I have followed your blog for a couple of years as well as the blogs of others. This post resonates with me and if you don't mind, I will post the same comments from Patti that inspire you on several places in my work/life space as a reminder of what is really important.ReplyDeleteReplies
First, I'm touched. Thank you. Next by all means share Patti's words. Hugs, KarenDelete
Hope "Fred" shows up soon and let us know.ReplyDelete
I had to wait until i was 63 to be a grandma to "Cahchinski" our unnamed granddaughter until after birth. It will change your life. I will be a Babcia one more time on the 14th to "number 2". This time I get to be there. Congratulations, Karen! A very mindful post.ReplyDelete

The first thing I noticed after my first good night on the CPAP machine was that my eyes felt more open and alert. I was happier and more energetic. After a few weeks I started noticing more subtle changes like a more "can do" attitude and the ability to disregard unnecessary and painful thoughts more easily. Now I am starting to see something of a sea change in my frame of mind and general philosophy. I find it easier to go without Marijuana and am hoping to get off the Duloxetine ASAP. This is all rather beautiful
It is not all good though and I think this is the part where I would appreciate you thoughts and advice. It is very difficult for me to differentiate between the effects of not having sleep apnoea, and the other the other afflictions I have mentioned .... not to mention the damage I have done to myself with marijuana and the consequences of not smoking anymore. I am still quite lazy, and lack motivation. My mind also tends to drift onto thinking about what could have been if I hadnt suffered from it which is especially painful for someone who has always felt like they were a chronic underperformer.
I also have started talking A LOT, and my filter is becoming a lot less effective ... by which I mean that I say things that I normally just wouldnt say. I have always been that way ... people have always been a little concerned that I might embarrass them, but now it is getting a bit too much for me. This is especially awkward for me when I am jokingly offensive to some or sexually suggestive. Sometimes I walk away from social engagements wondering if I said too much ... again this has always been the case, but now there is more social interaction it is happening more often.
Id like to hear from anyone else who had difficulties separating their symptoms, and fitting in socially with all the changes to their character.
I dont want to sound ungrateful ... this is quite a lovely problem to have ... Im just a little concerned that I might lose track of the things I still need to improve, and also I dont want my new energy to become mania.
To all those of use recovering I share your joy, and to those looking to fix the problem, I wish you the best of luck and can assure you that you will not regret dealing with it.
Thanks for reading
P.S. I have posted this story in a few places ... sorry if you have seen it in more than one place.

Very heart breaking post.
Just a quick post this time though. I have won a couple of giveaways here in bloggy land and am now the proud owner of a beautiful hand made, crocheted to be exact, purse and a pattern. I will blog with pictures of those as soon as I find time. But for now would just like to give a big Thank you to the ladies that had these giveaways, you know who you are, I will post about their blogs and my winnings asap.
Now onto the reason for the title of this blog. As some of you know I have lost both my parents. My daddy went home May 21,2006 and mama went home to meet him on October 14,2007 only a year and 5 months apart. Well a few months after we lost mama my middle sister started getting ill and her bones were starting to break and when I say starting to break I literally mean it just like that, as a matter of fact the reason she was admitted to the hospital was because during a doctors visit her arm just made a huge popping sound and she was rushed down to x-rays and her arm was broke. She was admitted and placed in ICU where test were ran. She was over 8 quarts low of blood and was almost on her death bed. They gave her blood and she started to look and feel better but found out that same day that she had Multiple Maloma a bone cancer and it was in the 3rd stage and there are only 4 stages of this cancer and the 4th stage is death. She began chemo and did very well actually exceptionally well you would have never known she was even on chemo. She had no hair loss, well very little and it was all on her legs and arm pits which was a blessing more than than a burden. She did chemo for several months and went back in for her last treatment and found out her cancer was in remission. PRAISE GOD was all we could say. And she was so happy to know she was out of the woods. Even though when she was her sickest she was ready to go home and be with the Good Lord and our mama.
She did well up until a couple of months when she went back in for a check up and found out her cancer was back and they told her that it was not good for it to come back a second time and sure enough it has been more so here in the last couple of weeks which I just found out about, and here in the last couple of days she has gotten worse, to the point of her not sleeping or eating and she is unable to walk across the floor without getting out of breath. I talked to her oldest daughter tonight and she told me that her mom looked really bad, no color, no appetite and her eyes are black underneth and sunk in. My neice also said she has been asking them to help her get arrangements made and they all feel like she is not going to make it much longer. She has a doctors appt. tomorrow and hopefully they will admit her and get her to feeling better.
Please keep all of us in your prayers, and say an extra one for her 2 daughters and grandkids they are taking this expecially hard. We have dealt with too much loss in the last couple of years and none of us want to do it again, if it is God's will. Her name is Debbie and your prayers are greatly needed. Thanks

I am so sorry to hear this. I know just how heartbreaking this is. I am in the midst of mourning. I lost a grandmother and my father six years ago. And this past Thursday, my other grandmother passed away. It is such a hard thing to go through, and it is so hard to see them suffer. I will be praying for your sister, you and her children and grandchildren. I will pray that she will not suffer and that God would heal her. Again, I am so, so sorry for you all.

A table is the basic unit for storing and organizing information in an Access database. One database can contain any number of tables, as well as links to tables stored in other locations and other formats. Data within a table is arranged in a basic grid, with each row containing a single record and each column representing a field. In turn, tables directly or indirectly form the basis for all other objects within an Access database, including queries, forms, and reports. You can create tables for any type of data—employee lists, product inventories, suppliers and customers, contacts, and so on.
