This is the eighth entry in Thomas Perry's series featuring Jane Whitefield who is the daughter of a white mother and a Seneca Indian father. Jane, who thinks of herself as a Seneca and who honors the old traditions, lives in western New York and has been married for several years now to a white doctor. For a number of years before she was married, Jane specialized in helping troubled people, who were often in serious difficulty, disappear and create new lives. Jane's was a very dangerous profession and she was often at risk, but she was very good at what she did and had trouble turning down a request from someone in genuine need.
Once married, Jane basically promised her husband that she would retire and devote her life from then on to her husband, to her home and, hopefully, to the children that they might have together. But people keep showing up at her door, and Jane keeps having trouble saying no, especially since as yet she and her husband have no children and she has only her home and her husband to keep life interesting.
On her last adventure, Jane was captured by some especially bad people, tortured and shot. She barely survived, and so one can readily understand why her husband, Carey, has little patience for any more such activity. But then one day, the eight Seneca clan mothers show up at her door. A young Seneca man named Jimmy, who Jane played with as a child, has been falsely accused of murder. Jimmy has run away and is being sought by the authorities. The clan mothers want Jane to track him down and ensure his safety.
Jane agrees to do so, despite her husband's strong misgivings, and it quickly becomes apparent that in addition to the police, but some very nasty people are on Jimmy's trail. Jane must not only hope that she can find and protect him, but she'll also have to sort out a lot of confusing and malicious activity before Jimmy can be safe in the long term.
I've been a huge fan of this series ever since the first Jane Whitefield book, Vanishing Act. Jane is a very clever and capable protagonist and it's always been fun watching the tactics she uses to protect and to create new lives for the people she rescues. That said, I was not much enamored of this book at all.
For starters, I'm having trouble with Jane's continuing marriage to Carey. In fairness to Perry, he has said that he intended to end this series several books ago, but the publisher and his readers wouldn't let him do so. Perhaps if he had known that the series was going to run this long, he would have never married Jane off in the first place. But the pattern that has existed over the last few books is getting pretty tiring.
Jane basically promises Carey that she won't put herself at risk any longer. But then a "special case" turns up and she just can't refuse. She ask her husband to understand and then, whether he does or not, off she goes for weeks or months at a time, communicating with him very sparingly, if at all. It's clear that Jane's ties to her tribe and to her mission are much stronger than the ties she feels to her husband and one can't blame the poor guy for being unhappy about it. In fairness, Perry should have killed the guy off a couple of books ago, or at least had them divorce or something, because the pattern they've fallen into is simply grating on the reader, or at least on this one.
Beyond that, this book seemed to depend on one totally implausible coincidence after another and by the time I got halfway through it I had totally lost my ability to suspend disbelief and was left simply shaking my head. The second-to-the-last paragraph in the opening chapter is brilliant, but unfortunately, the rest of the book doesn't measure up to its promise. The crime that sets the book into motion isn't all that interesting or believable and the rest of the action suffers as a result.
I understand that in any series, some books will inevitably be better than others and so despite the fact that I wasn't entirely happy with this one, I'm looking forward to Jane's next outing. By that time, I'm hoping that she's ditched the husband or that he's finally had sense enough to dump her and that she gets a mission that's truly worthy of her talents.

These Sheet Pan Cajun Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Short on time to cook? Meal prep a batch to reheat throughout the week. Whole30 and Paleo friendly without sacrificing flavour.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit it's taken me this long to discover the joy of sheet pan cooking. For years I merely used a sheet pan to roast vegetables, and either grilled or pan fried chicken to accompany it. But that's all in the past. Because you can actually cook a WHOLE DINNER on a sheet pan! Well, two sheet pans to be precise.
May I present to you – Sheet Pan Cajun Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls.
These bowls tick SO MANY BOXES:
- Quick
- Easy
- Delicious
- Meal Prep
- Whole30
- Paleo
- Gluten-Free
The list goes on. All you need to do is prep your ingredients, space them out on a sheet pan and pop them in the oven. And the best news? Minimal clean up. That's the real genius of the sheet pan – remove the baking paper or alfoil (your choice) and walk away.
I'm notorious for overcooking chicken when I pan fry it. No one likes dry, rubbery chicken and sadly we've suffered through it too many times. But this sheet pan chicken – oh boy. It's moist and tender every time.
I made my own cajun seasoning for the chicken but if you've got a favourite seasoning feel free to use that instead.
Now, let's dig in!

Sheet Pan Cajun Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls
These Sheet Pan Cajun Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Short on time to cook? Meal prep a batch to reheat throughout the week. Whole30 and Paleo friendly without sacrificing flavour.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 500g / 1.1 lbs chicken breast, cut into small chunks
- 1 cup broccoli
- 1 avocado, quarted
Roasted Sweet Potato
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- salt + pepper, to taste
Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp italian mixed herbs
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, more if you love a good kick
- salt + pepper, to taste
- Brown Rice, Caulirice, Quinoa
- Preheat oven to 180C / 350F. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Pop chicken pieces in a bowl and add in cajun seasoning & 1 tbsp of olive oil. Mix together well and place in fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Mix roasted sweet potato ingredients in a bowl, then tip out onto one of the trays, spreading the pieces into one layer. Place in oven for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked, stirring the pieces half way to ensure even cooking.
- Once the sweet potato has been in the oven for about 15 minutes, take the chicken pieces and place on the second baking tray, spreading out into a single layer. Add broccoli to the side of the tray & drizzle over a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the tray in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove both trays from the oven and assemble in bowls with some avocado.
- Adapted from Pinch of Yum
- All ovens are different. I've never met two that behaved the same. Keep an eye on your chicken from around the 10 minute mark the first time you prepare this dish to make sure it stays succulent!
- If you'd prefer a different seasoning blend, feel free to sub in. I really enjoyed this cajun blend for something different.
- Feel free to use up whatever veggies you have on hand. I've had this bowl with broccolini and cauliflower instead of broccoli.

Sofia Design Week (soon)
Sofia Design Week
04 – 11 june 2010
More or less? That is the question this year. "The more it goes, the more it goes," Winnie the Pooh would answer, thinking of honey. On the other hand, when it comes to socializing, here is the bear's opinion: "It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'"
But what is the answer if we ask the question in terms of design?
Under the inevitable influence of long, difficult words such as "financial crisis" and "global changes," in the second edition of Sofia Design Week we will ponder the following short, but not exactly easy questions:
More or less?
Low-cost or long-lasting?
Practical or beautiful?
Simple or elaborate?
Less or more?
Of course, the more we argue, the less likely we are to find a real answer.
But still, what about getting together?

SEABROOK – School is officially back in swing and teachers, students and parents alike are keeping busy and making waves. Here are some education-related stories that did not get full coverage in the past month.
Too Legit to Quit
Buck Lodge Middle School celebrated the official ribbon cutting of its brand new, state-of-the-art fitness center courtesy of the National Foundation for Governor's Fitness Councils' "Don't Quit Fitness" campaign. Buck Lodge was one of only three schools in the state and 12 in the country to receive the $100,000 grant for the new facility.
Applications for the grants were accepted from Feb. 1 through May 31 and schools were selected based on their demonstration of "outstanding leadership in getting and keeping their students fit," according to Gov. Larry Hogan's office.
State and local leaders participated in the celebration Monday, Oct. 9.
A Big Ka-ching
The A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation donated an unprecedented $219 million to the University of Maryland earlier this month.
The donation, one of the largest in recent history to a public research institution, will help the James Clark School of Engineering "by establishing and funding an array of need-based scholarships, graduate fellowships, distinguished faculty chairs and operational and capital projects," according to the university.
A. James Clark was a Terrapin alum and his daughter, Courtney Clark Pastrick, who is the board of the foundation, said College Park was "instrumental in educating and equipping him as an engineer and successful business man."
University President Wallace Loh, the university system Chancellor Rober Care, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and other state and local leaders celebrated the donation on Oct. 4.
The Real MVP
Charles H. Flowers Head Football Coach Dameon Powell may only be in his second year at the Springdale high school, but he is known for growing programs and making an impact.
The Washington Redskins and Inova Sports Medicine saw that impact and awarded Powell with their Coach of the Week award on Oct. 6.
Powell was lauded for his support of his players on and off the field, his dedication to player safety and, of course, and Flowers' 5-0 record so far this season.
By being named the Redskins' Coach of the Week, Powell will received $2,000 from the Redskins Charitable Foundation for the Flowers football team, additional prizes and giveaways and a framed certificate signed by NFL Commissioner Rodger Goddell and the leaders of the Redskins.
TB at Wise
While flu season is upon us, families of Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr. High School may be worrying about a different sickness.
Prince George's County Public Schools sent out a press release this week notifying the community that the county health department has confirmed two cases of active tuberculosis at the Upper Marlboro high school. The department and the school system said the two individuals are undergoing treatment and there is "no risk of additional exposure." However, both entities will meet with school staff and families to provide additional information and answer questions.
"It normally takes at least eight hours of close contact in a small room for TB transmission to occur and the air space is only contagious when an untreated patient is present. A healthy person cannot contract TB from casual exposure such as passing in a hallway or sitting in a cafeteria for an hour," PGCPS said in a press release.
Tell Me What You Want
The Prince George's County Board of Education is holding a public hearing on proposed or possible boundary changes on Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Sasscer Administration Building in Upper Marlboro.
The hearing will be one of the public's only chances for in-person testimony on possible changes in the school system in regards to school boundaries, school populations and possible temporary classrooms.
The system has worked on boundaries and population numbers across the county in recent years to address over and under utilization of schools.
Possible changes include adding temporary classrooms to Parkdale and Bladensburg high schools, as well as shifting students in the Chillum area from High Point High School to Northwestern High.
Your Shot at the Future
Prince George's County Public Schools is pushing for college and career readiness and is in the process of hosting a number of college fairs for students in the system.
The latest installment is courtesy of the school system's Office of Interscholastic Athletics, who will host workshops for student athletes to learn about their college prospects.
The office will meet with students at Crossland High School on Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. and High Point High School on Nov. 14 at 6:30 p.m. to go over NCAA, NAIA and Division I, II and II edibility and how to pay for college.

I was told that bluehost.com has a cool feature that you simple type in your add-on plugins with an install feature and activate feature. Why can't godaddy have simple add-on plugins recognizing the features the customer wants to install and activate in their account.
I have tried : all in one seo, pretty link lite, start press reloaded, wp super links, digg digg, and these are just a few - but the search feature does not work easy to recognize either its wording or easily recognition.
Customers like to add the plugin they want and request with ease and not having to call during the day or making some request by email with support.
Like to know if anyone knows what I am talking about?
This is the first time I'm seeing Blue Host and GoDaddy compared where Blue Host is the technologically advanced one? Seems like you are talking about automatically installing WordPress plugins? You can install those easily under the plugins in your WordPress amin dashboard and there is a search.
The problem as I see it is that for GoDaddy to institute a search and install feature they would have to vet thousands of plugins and keep doing that for every revision and new plugin that came out? Inevitably there would be someone requesting a plugin that had not been tested yet. I never install a plugin to one of my customer's website without thoroughly looking at it. I don't know what standards Blue Host has but that seems like a dangerous feature to me?
If you're on shared hosting GoDaddy is probably doing this to protect others from you? I'd say this is a good problem or at least one that is understandable? If this feature is key to your function I say go and use someone who offers if but it does seem problematic. Or maybe I'm missing the point?

Stephanie Lewey shares about her experience in Costa Rica:
I've gone on mission trips before, so when the opportunity came up to serve as an adult leader with my youth choir in Costa Rica I thought I knew what I was getting myself into. I can spend nights and days without the comforts we have in America, I can help put on VBS for children with whom we don't share a common language, I can spend days in the sweltering heat erecting homes or something of the like…but share the gospel, evangelize? No stinkin' way! As soon as I found out what our mission trip to Costa Rica was calling us to do, I immediately wished I could get myself out!
Leading up to the trip we participated in training sessions to help equip our team to share the gospel (which I was very thankful for), but I was still fearful, lacking confidence and a whole-hearted desire to be going on this mission. But I knew God had his hand on the trip and each of our lives as well as all the locals we would cross paths with. I had a grown considerably in my walk with the Lord in the more recent years and knew this trip would bring that relationship to a new level. So in these things I was excited. But what He did (in my life and through others) was far beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
God made me a very passionate and expressive person and during the first morning of our in-field training He took that and blew it up 10 fold! Leaving for lunch I was more than ready to go out and share the gospel! Don't get me wrong, I was still quite nervous but God gave us a message and I couldn't have been more excited to share it! Everything that was plaguing me before was no longer even a tiny thought in my mind. And I can't help but use the cliché, He ignited a flame within me I'd never experienced before! It was the beginning of the shattering of my world He accomplished that week.
After sharing the gospel at the first house the initial jitters were gone, I felt filled in the Spirit and even more amped to continue sharing. House after house that's how it went for me; the desire to share, growing bigger and bigger but at the same time my humanity being revealed to me, up to the very last house on the trip. Every single time we left one house and made our way to the next, I had nerves leading up to the next house allowing us to share God's message with them. But each time I began to speak I had a sense of peace wash over me, feeling as though the Lord was speaking through me, even during the times of uncertainty of how to respond to a question/comment, my fumbling of words or struggling through the Bible and each time we walked away I was more confident in Him. Because it wasn't about me at all, but entirely about HIM, furthering HIS kingdom, helping to make disciples of HIS children, sharing the story of HIS love and grace. Even more impactful to me, He didn't need me or my team for any of this, but He desires a relationship with us and called us in this way to grow with Him! This is just one of the many things God did in my life during this trip.
The training NEXT gave us leading up to the trip coupled with the daily in-field leadership and missional training sessions, led by their staff who are overflowing with the Spirit, played a huge role in what the Lord did in my life on this trip. NEXT's trips are not "drive-by missions", swooping in for a short time to share the gospel and do good things for the community. They're about equipping each one of their travelers to live the mission! And living that mission happens most AFTER the trip is over. The trip is just the catalyst. We have a message and we can't allow our American culture or anything else stifle it! I look forward to prayerfully and financially supporting NEXT from this point onward. I'm not gonna lie, I'm already praying God calls me to serve on other trip(s)!

The Shiseido Full Lash Multi Dimension Mascara, $27, promises to deliver "all-day panoramic curl, lift, volume and length even for straight, downward lashes." The easy to use flat shaped brush exclusively bends 30 degrees and rotates 360 degrees, easily fanning and lifting lashes in one motion. The flat side of the brush lifts and curls straight downward, hard-to-reach lashes and sparse lashes at the inner and outer corners. The waterproof formula is designed to resist sweat, water and tears and is said to last eight hours. But it's also easy to take off with the eye makeup remover. And it's also fragrance free.
I have rather sparse lashes so I was eager to see if the exclusive, bendable brush would add volume. Using the mouth of the container to bend the brush, I adjusted it to my desired angle. I applied the mascara by pushing up my lashes with the wide flat surface, and using the side of the brush like a comb to separate my lashes.
I'm happy to report that this is a terrific innovation! The brush is super easy to use and it allows you to get at those hard-to-reach little lashes from every angle. The formula is dense, black and velvety and I was able to apply two and even three coats without any clumping. I wore the mascara through a strenuous Zumba class and when it was over, there were no smudges, no melting. Yet as promised, it came off easily with my usual remover. This is definitely one of the best beauty innovations to show up in a long while; I'm hooked!
The Sports BB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ WetForce, $38, is described as an "innovative natural-looking, long-lasting and transfer-resistant BB tinted sunscreen with Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protection formula and WetForce Technology for powerful, beautiful protection."
Both makeup and sunscreen, this new hybrid keeps skin protected even when exposed to the sun. The secret is apparently WetForce Technology* and the super-lightweight formula blends easily into skin and stays put, delivering comfortable natural coverage that camouflages uneven skin texture yet does not look pasty or chalky. The product is available in three shades that each blend easily with a variety of skin tones and it is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.
Key Benefits
- The UV protection veil becomes more effective when the applied area is exposed to water or perspiration for 30 minutes and coverage continues for 80 minutes.
- SuperVeil-UV 360 technology helps reduce the appearance of photo-aging.
- Amino Acid Complex helps skin maintain moisture for healthy-looking smooth skin even when skin is exposed to sun.
- Contouring Powder with White Pearl enhances the look of facial contours
- Very Water-Resistant (80 minutes)
I always use products with a high SPF so this one seemed perfect for me. I shook the bottle well, and applied as I would foundation or moisturizer. What a great, blendable texture! I got excellent yet natural looking coverage—nothing mask-like or dry about it. And even though the SPF was 50, the product was gentle on my skin, and not at all irritating, which can be the case when the SPF is high.This really felt like an expensive foundation, not a sun protector. I wore it through an intense Spin class and looked dewy, not messy, when I was through. I love this product will love it even more come summer, when I go swimming. It's definitely worth every penny.
*To activate WetForce Technology, expose the applied area to water or perspiration for 30 minutes. Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for active use. The product is non-comedogenic and will not lead to breakouts from clogged pores.

Understanding my Award Package
1. Why did a receive a smaller Pell Grant than what I was offered?
The Pell grant is a prorated grant awarded per credit a student is enrolled in. If you are in 12 or more credits, you will receive the full amount of Pell you were awarded. If you are in less than 12 credits, you will receive a prorated amount based on your enrollment. If any changes are made to your account, this amount will automatically recalculate based on course load.
2. What is EFC (Expected Family Contribution)?
Expected Family Contribution is the calculated amount of monetary assistance you will be receiving. This amount is determined per the information provided at the time of the FAFSA application and it is calculated by the Department of Education.
3. How many credits do I need to be in to get financial aid?
Students must be enrolled in six or more financial aid eligible credits to receive their loans (subsidized/unsubsidized). Grants are awarded if students are enrolled in less than six credits, however the Pell grant will be calculated per their enrollment.
4. I didn't get all of my financial aid. Why is my refund so low?
Depending on what you are receiving for your financial aid, it is possible you will receive portions of it at different times during the semester. The subsidized and unsubsidized loans will pay out first which occurs about a week before classes begin. The Wisconsin Higher Education Grant usually pays out around the same time as the subsidized and unsubsidized loans, depending on when the school receives the funds. The Pell grant pays out five weeks into the semester. Please note if the only funding from financial aid you are receiving is the Pell grant, you will not see a refund until five weeks into the semester. Any additional funding sources (other grants, scholarships, etc.) are disbursed once CVTC has received the funds for them to be processed onto accounts
5. My award notification lists subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans. What is the difference?
Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based and interest-free, while you are in school. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are non-need based and interest-bearing loans, therefore interest will accrue while you are in school and will be added to the principle when repayment begins.
6. Will I get all my financial aid at the beginning of the year?
You will get one disbursement of aid in September (1/2) and one disbursement (1/2) in January as CVTC has a two semester academic year.
7. What is work-study? How can I get work-study?
If Federal Work Study is part of your financial aid award, you are eligible to search for Work-Study jobs on campus and earn up to the amount listed on your Award Letter. Your Work-Study award amount does not apply to your bill; you earn these funds by working and receiving a paycheck every other week for hours worked. Students can access current work-study opportunities via Wisconsin Techconnect.

Yeah, things are happening in your part of the world, Alexa.ReplyDelete
Last Christmas, as a gift to myself, I popped for one of those iPod Touches up there on the billboard. I love the thing even though I don't crank it up that often ("Silence is Golden"). It's almost maxxed out already, but man am I ready if I volunteer to rebuild castles in the south of France again and we have hot parties (in need of background music) with unbelievable Bulgarian dancers. OK, that's not going to happen (bad back). No problem then if I don't upload Led Zeppelin I and II; Jefferson Airplane; Electrifying Eddie Harris; Chambers Brothers; Cafe del Mar #6; Super Session; Wes Montgomery; Van Morrison; CCR; et al...
I have an apple (not an Apple!) on my desk. It smells good.ReplyDelete
You both gave me a much-needed laugh today!ReplyDelete
Thanks, merci, grazie, danke, hvala, gracias, spasibo, shukran, dhanyavaad, salamat, arigato, and muito obrigado for your much-appreciated comments.

I purchased the plates on Ebay and have added to them over the last few years so that I now have about 24 in order to have enough for the whole family. I chose these because they have some fall color with pinks, mauves and greens instead of yellows and oranges. I sometimes use the rimmed soup bowls as small vegetable bowls. The wicker chargers are from Nell Hills. As you can see in the photo above, I used three here to create somewhat of a runner and put the centerpiece on the one in the middle. The larger pumpkin is actually a fragrance burner resting on a small square pedestal that I recently picked up for $3 in the clearance section of TJ Maxx. The silk roses and hypericum berries are some that I've had several years. On our large dining room table, I use them in small bouquets in silver mint julep cups. The cranberry glasses were purchased a few years ago from a local shop and pick up the pinks in the plates. The flatware is Remembrance silver plate by Rogers Brothers. I initially purchased 8 place settings at an antique store and have added to it through Ebay and now have about 30 place settings. It is very reasonably priced and worth every dime to use when I am hosting a large group since I am not at all a fan of plastic flatware. Often when we are in a restaurant, one of my kids will ask if the flatware is up to my standards. Flatware is a small detail that makes a BIG difference. The glass pumpkin place card holders were purchased at Williams Sonoma several years ago. I hope that this has inspired you to get busy and get ready for Thanksgiving. I will be linking to Tabletop Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.

What lovely dishes...I'm all about dishes. But, now after reading your post I think I need to concentrate on my flatware. I'm lacking there, for sure! The name tag holders are lovely, too! When your daughter returns you can reset all this for one meal, giving thanks, then pull out your Christmas dishes and give even MORE thanks to the Lord! He's blessed us in so many ways! Forgiveness & family at the top of our lists.
Thanks for entering in my giveway today!

I have been browsing your site and LOVE your ability to redeem items you find. That speaks VOLUMES about the way the Lord has redeemed us from a state of dis-repair, being unwanted, and left for ruin. You seems to take discarded "finds," add some care and concern (not to mention vision), and turn it in to something BEAUTIFUL! (the secretary for example) Just as Christ did with you.
Thanks for sharing HIS love and YOUR passion.

Do you know what I've discovered? We are born, we die, but everything in between is usually one pratfall after another, which can be embarrassing and mortifying and seem like the most insurmountable problem at the time, until we actually run up against real trouble knocking at the door of our lives (mixed metaphor intended).

A few days ago, my husband (WW) and I had just hunkered down in preparation for Hurricane Sandy to hit. Expecting 80 mile an hour winds and living amongst obscenely tall trees, we had put away anything that could turn into a flying missile, cleaned out the gutters, primed the sump pump, gathered the emergency lights and hand-cranked radio, and descended into the basement to stand guard through the night against something
we couldn't even begin to fathom or control. What made the waiting worse is that one of our daughters and our only grandson were in the storm's direct path in New York City. Worry about and for them was so debilitating
that I was practically near a nervous breakdown. During times such as these, WW is steady as a rock and I am a whirling dervish of frenetic talkative energy and planning.
Whirling Dervish|image from mysacredcircle.blogspot.com
THE MOTHER (Me): Honey, did you tell our daughter to get cash from the ATM in case the electricity goes and get tons of non-perishable food like tuna fish, peanut butter, crackers, and applesauce? Did you remind Boo to pack an emergency backpack for her and the baby and keep it by the door in case they have to evacuate? Oh and what about flashlights, battery-powered radios, and a security rape whistle in case the metropolis turns into Gotham City and anarchy ensues? Oh, and she should probably get duct tape (no emergency is complete without duct tape) and an ice chest full of ice for perishables and her friend's insulin medicine. Did you tell her about filling the bathtub full of water to flush the toilets in case the city sewer pump gives out at the water station? Huh, huh, well did you tell her?
THE FATHER (WW): No, you told her all that and more during the 10 text messages, 14 phone calls, and 20 emails you sent her over the past two hours. In fact I just got a call from our daughter that I couldn't understand what was being said through our grandson's screaming and our daughter's yelling because your last suggestion about filling the bathtub with water caused mass hysteria in her house. The new kitten, Jo-Jo (used to jumping into the tub to play with the baby's bath toys) didn't realize the tub was full of water and took a flying leap off the side of the tub into what quickly started becoming his watery grave. Our grandson got hysterical because Jo-Jo was drowning, the shower curtain got ripped to shreds because the kitten tried to use it as a ladder to climb out of the tub, both our grandson and our daughter have kitty scratches from head to toe, and now the kitten has gone into hiding and refuses to surface—all this before Hurricane Sandy has even shown up. I just got a text message from our very frustrated older daughter that says: "Dad, contain your woman; she is driving me freakin' crazy!"
"Soggy Pissed-off Kitty"|Google Image
THE MOTHER (Me): Well, excuse me for just trying to get everyone prepared for what the weathermen are calling the "storm of the century"!
THE FATHER (WW): Honey, you know that most things we obsess about never come to past, but when they finally do knock on our door the best we can do is be prepared and the rest is in God's hands. You've done your part, now let God show up. Why don't you take your mind off obsessing about the safety of our grandson and do something constructive. What's the theme of next week's blog?
THE MOTHER (Me): Oddly enough—worrying about stupid shit we have no control over. Isn't it ironic? We could be blown away at any minute, and I'm still being plagued by an embarrassing incident that happened to me on the elevator at my company the other day. I'm actually mortified at the thought of what people must be saying about me behind my back, and the irony of it all is that it wasn't my fault!
THE FATHER (WW): All righty, now. This story sounds like one for the family scrapbook. Pass me the popcorn, and let her rip.
THE MOTHER (Me): (You have no idea how much of a pun that is!) Well, you know what an impeccable diva I am? How everything has to be in place and just so? The other day, I was really struttin' my stuff (black and white "to-die-for" ensemble with gobstopper pearls, Coach bag and gorgeous Stuart Weitzman pumps) when I got on the elevator on the executive floor of my company (picture badge and name prominently displayed for all the world to see), and a building services man that I recognized didn't speak when I spoke to him, but gave me a rather chagrined expression as he sped past me to exit onto my floor. Once the elevator doors had closed, I instantly knew why his expression was so tortured: he had left behind a fart of biblical proportions! It was so rank that the paint seemed to be peeling off the elevator walls. I have no idea what that guy had had for lunch, but it smelled as if something had died in there. I was the only one on the elevator, and as I tried my best not to breathe, I pushed the next floor's button hoping I could escape before anyone else got on (I should have reopened the doors and gone back the way I came but I was too flustered to think—I think the funk had addled my brain). As Murphy's Law would have it, a gaggle of chattering new college hires (all shiny and new and dressed to the nines on a tour of the Executive floors) flooded the elevator and blocked my ability to exit before the doors closed. Like magic—within five seconds—all of their chirpy voices screeched to an immediate halt as they all turned and looked at me in wide-eyed horror as they grabbed their noses and exclaimed in a unified Greek chorus shout-out: EEUUEW! At the next floor they all fled the elevator like a flock of magpies being chased by a skunk—leaving me alone with a shattered reputation in the midst of a funk not of my own making. I wanted to go running after them to plead my case: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me; I'm too cool to fart in public," but I was so mortified, all I could do was hang my head as the doors closed and the elevator car descended to the first floor. How can I show my face again at work? Every time I get on the elevator now I feel as if people I don't know are pointing and whispering: "That's her—that's the chubby Pépé Le Pew we were telling you about."
That's what I want to blog about. Why did something (not my fault) cause me such chagrin and mortification, and why can't I shake it off? Nobody got hurt, no property was lost (last time I looked, the elevator car had not imploded), and nobody died.
"Elevator Fart"|image from gomauri.com
THE HUSBAND (WW): Well, in light of a very real tragedy that is about to descend up our heads, you might just get some perspective about how in the scheme of things, a smelly ol' fart is no big deal. If our family lives through this storm without loss of life or property, a misguided fart in juxtaposition to Hurricane Sandy will be a great story for your readers. Ask them what nonsensical things trip them up that should be simply shaken off on any given day, because at some point, real tragedy comes a knockin' and we need all the courage and strength we can muster to conquer those "real" trials!
I am discovering that the playwright Jean Kerr of Mary, Mary was correct (and I paraphrase here): "It is no use making up troubles that don't exist because trouble will come knocking at your door soon enough." When WW and I woke up the next morning, our house was not flooded, the tall trees were still standing, and my daughter and grandson were unscathed in Queens. But what is fast becoming legendary is that millions of others from the Caribbean to Maine lost electricity, lost their homes to fire and floods, and some lost their lives trying to escape the mayhem of what turned out to ironically be called the "perfect storm."
Trouble had indeed come a knockin' at many of our "neighbor's" doors in New Jersey and New York, and now it is up to us and every other American of all stripes and colors, political persuasions, and religious ideologies to get over our petty and nonsensical selves and our entrenched ideologies and lend a helping hand to our neighbors, relatives, friends, and strangers far and wide so that they may recover as soon as possible. No state government can stand alone in times like these (no matter what the Republicans tell you), no federal government can do it all (no matter what the Democrats tell you), and none of us can exist without each other (no matter what the various ideologues preach to you). As we approach the presidential election, Hurricane Sandy has made it abundantly clear for those who have eyes to see that now is not the time to elect a rich,
heartless, corporate raider whose mantra is, "I've got mine, too bad you never got yours," but now is the time to RE-ELECT a brilliant man who has the Christlike heart of a community leader and understands that if the United States of America is going to make it in the future when trouble comes knockin' at our door, we will all need to underscore the united part of our country's title and pledge allegiance to the fact that we are all our brother's keepers and all in this journey together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been harmed by Hurricane Sandy and suffered loss of family, friends, and property. We pledge to come to your aid as brothers and sisters and fellow Americans until you can stand on your own two feet again!—Image from homeless.samhas.gov
"Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other"—Albert Pike (American Lawyer, Journalist and Soldier, 1809-1891)
"If you really believe in the brotherhood of man, and you want to come into its fold, you've got to let everyone else in, too"—Oscar Hammerstein II (American musical comedy Author, Lyricist and Producer influential in the development of musical comedy. 1895-1960)
"People ask me all the time, 'What are you, a Democrat or a Republican? A Catholic or a Muslim…' What am I? I am none of these. I belong to nothing but the human race. Why isn't that ever enough?"— Kate Miller
THE WORRIED MOTHER (Me): "WW, did you tell our daughter that she needs to get the largest mallet she can lift and carry it with her at all times because I just read an article on Huff Post that millions of rats have been washed out of the sewers of NYC, and they will be roaming the streets in gangs (you've heard of the Crips and the Bloods—well, these will be the "Rats") because they can swim and climb. Huff Post says that there is a good chance that our grandson could be exposed to 'leptospirosis, hantavirus, typhus, salmonella, and even the bubonic plague.'"

Interpretation and drafting of domicilium provisions
Domicilium provisions in contracts are largely considered to be standard provisions, which are often copied and pasted from one contract to another. A majority of contracts contain some form of a domicilium provision, which in turn sets out the manner in which notices and processes are delivered to the parties to the contract. These provisions can either relate to the service of judicial processes (such as a summons) or contractual notices. Judicial processes and contractual notices can either be dealt with separately or be bundled into a single provision, which the courts have dubbed as a 'double provision' (see for example: Loryan (Pty) Ltd v Solarsh Tea and Coffee (Pty) Ltd [1984] 3 All SA 625 (W) at 641; Muller v Mulbarton Gardens (Pty) Ltd [1972] 1 All SA 190 (W) at 197; and SA Wimpy (Pty) Ltd v Tzouras 1977 (4) SA 244 (W) at 247). The way in which a provision is drafted will determine whether it is a double provision or not.
The manner in which a domicilium provision is drafted will also influence the requirements of the service of a summons. This was confirmed on appeal by Shepard v Emmerich 2015 (3) SA 309 (GJ).
In that case, the domicilium provision required that the summons should be addressed to a specific person and served on the second floor of the building. It read: 'Routledge Modise Moss Morris, 2 Pybus Road, Sandton (Marked for D Janks 2nd Floor).'
The appellant served the summons on the first floor of the building and was not marked for the attention of D Janks. The service did not strictly comply with the provisions of the domicilium provision and the question on appeal was whether the summons was properly served.
The issue pivoted around how the domicilium provision was drafted and whether the summons had been properly served. The court a quo found that where there was a specific method of service that was contractually agreed, it should be strictly complied with. The court a quo cited three foreign cases to support this argument, namely, McMullen Group Holdings Ltd v Harwood [2011] CSOH 132; Anglian Water Services Ltd v Liang O'Rourke Utilities Ltd [2010] EWHC 1529 (TCC); and Argo Capital Investors Fund SPC for Argo Global Special Situtations Fund SP v Essar Steel Ltd [2005] EWHC 2587 (Comm). The Appeal Court found the court a quo's argument to be persuasive. Also, the court found that there was nothing that prevented the appellant from complying with the requirements of the domicilium provision. The appellant did not adhere to the requirements of the contractually agreed method of service and the service of the summons was found to be defective. The appeal was dismissed.
This case illustrates that the way in which a domicilium provision is drafted could have an impact in the manner in which the provision is interpreted and ultimately enforced. Not only does this case show that the manner in which the domicilium provision is drafted can have far reaching consequences, but it also embodies the presumption of interpretation contracts in that there are no superfluous words in a contract (see: SJ Cornelius Principles of the Interpretation of Contracts in South Africa 2ed (Durban: LexisNexis 2007) at 122). Therefore, account must be taken of each word in a contract, even that of a domicilium provision. The mere copying and pasting and use of precedence must be cautioned and used with circumspection to ensure that unintended consequences do not occur in the interpretation and enforcement of the contract.
Michele van Eck, legal adviser, Johannesburg
Are court officials adequately protected?
The question to be answered is whether court officials are protected during the criminal proceedings in court? Who has a duty to protect court officials while conducting their scope of employment in court?
The true story is that as an attorney, I was physically attacked by the complainant as I was cross-examining the complainant. The complainant attacked me and was instructed by court to apologise. Indeed she apologised, but I noticed that the complainant was not remorseful and did not see anything wrong with her actions. The question that pops up is: Whether we are protected as court officials during court proceedings and by whom exactly? I feel that we are not protected at all.
Nokhanyo Makonco, candidate attorney, Mthatha
A criminal appeal puzzle
In S v Ntlanyeni 2016 (1) SACR 581 (SCA) three accused were convicted in the High Court for, inter alia, charges of rape.
The trial judge refused leave to appeal and thereafter the three separately, by petition applied to the President of the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) for leave to appeal. (They must have done so in terms of s 316(8)(a)(iii) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 (CPA).)
Two of the convicted persons were each granted leave to appeal by four judges in the two separate applications. In the Ntlanyeni matter the application was subsequently dismissed by two other judges. The President of the SCA, acting mero motu, considered the circumstances as exceptional in terms of s 17(2)(f) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013 and referred the decision in the Ntlanyeni matter to the court for reconsideration.
The matter was argued and the result was that he was also granted leave to appeal to the full Bench of the High Court.
What is puzzling is how the SCA could have acted in terms of s 17(2)(f) of the Superior Courts Act as the case originated from a criminal trial in the High Court sitting as a court of first instance, a process that is regulated by the CPA.
The definition of 'appeal' in the Superior Courts Act is:
'"Appeal" in Chapter 5, does not include an appeal in a matter regulated in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977 (Act No. 51 of 1977), or in terms of any other criminal procedure law.'
Appeals in criminal cases heard by a High Court are regulated by ss 315 and 316 of the CPA. Such appeals are, therefore, excluded from Ch 5 of the Superior Courts Act (see A Kruger Hiemstra's Criminal Procedure (Durban: LexisNexis 2008) at 31-1 to 31-2). It is not clear how the SCA could have applied s 17(2)(f) of the Superior Courts Act to the Ntlanyeni matter.
Some criminal law practitioners and even 'clever' offenders serving sentences and whose applications to the President of the SCA in terms of s 316(8)(a)(iii) have been refused, now consider that their next step could be in terms of s 17(2)(f) of the Superior Courts Act.
I cannot agree and am anxious to learn whether I am missing a point here as the next possible step after a s 316(8)(a)(iii) application has been refused, is to approach the Constitutional Court provided a constitutional question is involved. More to the point: Can the SCA decision in the Ntlanyeni matter be correct?

Left vs. Right -> How Do You Deal With Painful Truths?
The Left and Right perceive the world differently. One side sees it as it exists, accepts fundamental truths and facts--even if they are painful--and then adopts a worldview. The other side adopts a vision, and then views the world through that prism. Which side sees the world as reality? And which as it imagines?

The government has rightly identified the Islamist student group FOSIS as part of the country's extremist problem.
There is really nothing else to do with a group that sees the hate preacher, jihad enthusiast and antisemite Haitham Al-Haddad as just the man to train its leaders and preach to British Muslim students.
For more on FOSIS's long and extensive record of promoting hate preachers, hindering the battle against extremism, including police investigations of the undie bomber, and outright lying, please see this post.
Nothing has changed. The group is holding its annual conference in Manchester this weekend. In a typical move that is actually funny, one of the speakers is Junaid Ahmed of the Islamic Forum in Europe, offering a talk on "Conflict Resolution". Yes, a man who passionately hails Hamas as "heroes" – perfect for such a topic!
Labour in the shape of Sadiq Khan MP, Shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, has a very different view than the government. Khan opened this weekend's FOSIS conference, hailing the FOSIS leader and liar Nabil Ahmed.
Labour: the party that is useless in the fight against extremism.
No scratch that, the party that helps extremists, repeatedly, and apparently has no intention whatsoever of changing course, all the way up to the front bench.
Lucy Lips adds:
Oh, and look here.
Lord Ahmed has been readmitted to the Labour Party:
A peer suspended by the Labour Party for allegedly offering a £10m bounty on the head of US President Barack Obama has had the suspension lifted.
Lord Ahmed, who denied the accusations published in Pakistani newspaper the Express Tribune, thanked Chief Whip Lord Bassam for a "fair" investigation.
Labour confirmed the suspension had been lifted but did not explain why.
This is the man who, not content with inviting Islamist extremist groups to Parliament, has now taken to inviting white fascists to speak there.
And he actually campaigns for anti-Labour candidates, in breach of Labour Party rules!
A serious question. What the fuck is wrong with Labour?


text: Stress, anxiety, obesity, and a laundry list of bad habits are what made me walk into a CrossFit gym. Packed classes, sweat angels, fist bumps, and PRs are what made me stay. I developed a strong passion for health and fitness over the last 10 years. During that time I was able to lose 75lbs and tried many different diets/exercise routines. I found CrossFit about 5 years ago, but I didn't take it very seriously until I was welcomed at CrossFit Barbending in August 2016. I haven't looked back since. More recently, my passion has shifted from my personal goals to helping other people reach their own. I am grateful for the opportunity to coach at CrossFit Barbending and plan on motivating others to achieve their own personal goals. I genuinely believe that many of life's problems can be fixed with loud music, sweat, and barbells. So if you're taking one of my classes, come ready to work!

As noted by most of the previous articles on this blog in the recent past, they have mostly highlighted the problems that are facing the modern U.S. ranging from water and energy problems to now devastating storms. In the previous article, I highlighted the plight of the Texans and Louisiana residents after braving the sharp intensity of hurricane Harvey. The case today is not different, hurricane Irma has been around and I equally want to throw my eyes on it. Actually, just like Harvey, Irma has had a tremendous impact on the economic, environmental and social fabric upon which the daily lives of Floridians depended upon.
Until today, it is safe to say that the storm has caused unprecedented damage in Saint Martin, Anguilla, Virginia Islands, Saint Barthelme and Barbuda. This damage was occasioned by Irma under the category 5 status. By yesterday (September 12th) 55 deaths had occurred with most of these occurring in the contiguous United States. The economic value of the damage is yet to be established but predictions show that reconstruction in all hit areas might require way bigger budget than that required for hurricane Harvey aftermath. Yet still, the psychological and social well-being of those affected is definitely so huge with an immeasurable value.
Hurricane Irma started over Cape Verde just as a cluster of clouds. However, it has turned out to be the most powerful and intense hurricane observed in the Atlantic since Dean in 2007. Among all the hurricanes that reached category 3 or stronger in the last 50 years, Irma is the one with the highest strength; it was classified as a category 5 for three consecutive days and this is longer than any other Atlantic hurricane. In addition, Irma has broken the records of cyclone energy accumulation and such energy was evident when it finally hit the United States. Since Wilma in 2005, Irma becomes the first major hurricane to hit the state of Florida.
Irma developed on August 30, 2017, near Cape Verde Islands from a tropical wave which had moved off the west African coast three days prior. It further intensified under favorable conditions becoming firstly category 2 hurricane within 24 hours. Shortly afterward, it scaled up to category 3 status becoming a major storm as it were. It fluctuated between category 2 and 3 for the next few days due to a series of eyewall replacement cycles. On September 4th, the storm resumed intensification further becoming a category 5 hurricane reaching its peak on September 6th at 295km/h.
In Florida, Governor Scott declared a state of emergency for Florida on September 4th. Members of Florida National Guard were placed on duty to assist in preparations. All the 7,000 troops were to be on duty by September 8, which they did and all the residents were advised to set their hurricane kits all set and ready. The toll on roads was stopped and mandatory evacuations were done well in time. All other key institutions of the government including schools were closed. Tourist evacuations from the islands were also done.
On the other hand, FEMA funding was running dangerously low especially when they are still dealing with the aftermath of hurricane Harvey which hit Texas just the last week. The administration had to request for an immediate $8 billion in additional funding. The Senate instead approved 15.3 billion given the rate that current funds are being utilized.
We can see that preparation were in top gear to ensure that there could be no causality and actually much of the damage and causalities were reduced. The overriding question, however, and which I also posted in the previous article; does the frequency of these storms in addition to their intensity have any connection with global warming? The answer is still uncertain to this question as research into the phenomenon continues.

இந்தியாவின் பெரிய ஜம்மா மசூதியின் வரலாறு ! History Of Jama Masjid.
The Masjid-i Jahān-Numā , commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is one of the largest mosques in India.
It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan between 1644 and 1656 at a cost of 1 million rupees, and was inaugurated by an imam from Bukhara, present-day Uzbekistan. The mosque was completed in 1656 AD with three great gates, four towers and two 40 m high minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone and white marble. The courtyard can accommodate more than 25,000 persons. There are three domes on the terrace which are surrounded by the two minarets. On the floor, a total of 899 black borders are marked for worshippers. The architectural plan of Badshahi Masjid, built by Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb at Lahore, Pakistan, is similar to the Jama Masjid.
The mosque has been the site of two attacks, one in 2006 and another in 2010. During the first, two explosions occurred in the mosque, injuring thirteen people. In the second, two Taiwanese students were injured as two gunmen opened fire upon them.

Sri Harmandir Sahib also Sri Darbar Sahib and informally referred to as the "Golden Temple", is the holiest Gurdwara of Sikhism, located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. Amritsar (literally, the tank of nectar of immortality) was founded in 1577 by the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram Das. The fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan, designed the Harmandir Sahib to be built in the centre of this holy tank, and upon its construction, installed the Adi Granth, the holy scripture of Sikhism, inside the Harmandir Sahib. The Harmandir Sahib complex is also home to the Akal Takht (the throne of the timeless one, constituted by the Sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind). While the Harmandir Sahib is regarded as the abode of God's spiritual attribute, the Akal Takht is the seat of God's temporal authority.
The construction of Harmandir Sahib was intended to build a place of worship for men and women from all walks of life and all religions to come and worship God equally. Accordingly, as a gesture of this non-sectarian universalness of Sikhism, Guru Arjan had specially invited Muslim Sufi saint, Hazrat Mian Mir to lay the foundation stone of the Harmandir Sahib. The four entrances (representing the four directions) to get into the Harmandir Sahib also symbolise the openness of the Sikhs towards all people and religions.Over 100,000 people visit the holy shrine daily for worship, and also partake jointly in the free community kitchen and meal (Langar) regardless of any distinctions, a tradition that is a hallmark of all Sikh Gurdwaras.
The present-day gurdwara was renovated in 1764 by Jassa Singh Ahluwalia with the help of other Sikh Misls. In the early nineteenth century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh secured the Punjab region from outside attack and covered the upper floors of the gurdwara with gold, which gives it its distinctive appearance and its English name.

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world, with the site measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres). It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.

A church building, often simply called a church, is a building used for Christian religious activities, particularly worship services. The term in its architectural sense is most often used by Christians to refer to their religious buildings, but it is sometimes used (by analogy) for buildings of other religions. In traditional Christian architecture, the church is often arranged in the shape of a Christian cross. When viewed from plan view the longest part of a cross is represented by the aisle and the junction of the cross is located at the altar area.

Engine Ltd. Develops platforms, software and web applications using Open Source tools and are certified MySQL Partners. Joe started the company with my partners in 2004 straight after attaining my Bsc. Computer Science degree from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Juja. The company currently has a team of eight and a diverse portfolio of solutions that utilise Open
Source tools such as an Insurance ERP solution running in clients in
Kenya and Zambia.
Aside from J.S. Engine, he has also started a New Media Consulting company - Zilojo Ltd. - http://www.zilojo.com which provides I.T consulting services for a select clientèle (ad agencies, web businesses). Zilojo Ltd. is also actively engaged in creating compelling African content. Its pilot project is http://katiba.mobi which allows Kenyan's to read and refer to the New Constitution on their mobile phones, wherever they may be. We asked Joe, how he connected with ict@innovation and what his experience with the programme has been so far:
"My connection with the ict@innovate program is through the Linux Professional Association of Kenya (LPA). About 4 years ago, Evans Ikua, Barrack Otieno, Dorcas Muthoni, myself and others founded the LPA. Our goals were to advocate for FOSS in Kenya and offer services to our members. Through this connection I was informed of the Linux ToT program which I consequently applied for.
The program so far has been wonderful. I have engaged and interacted with my colleagues from East Africa and grown immensely. Being a staunch Pan-Africanist, it brings joy to my heart to see citizens of various African states learning and working together in harmony.
There is a bond, though unseen or unwritten, that is created between Africans that makes us brothers. If we are to solve Africa's problems we need this brotherhood to flourish. We have all the resources at our disposal. We just lack the political will to take the next step.
The facilitators have been great, helping us with the course material and using real world examples for inference. I have enjoyed the companionship and discourse with my new friends."
Have you made similar or differing experiences with ict@innovation you would like to share?
Are you a member of the ict@innovation community and would also like to be featured?
