Having *wailed their anguish* Jacob's sons went about burying him. This involved more than just digging a hole and dumping Jacob's corpse in it, as might have been appropriate had Jacob been just any old Canaanite, instead of a Founding Father of the new nation of Israel that he was.
According to their father's instructions the twelve sons of Jacob carried the body to a field called Machpelah, which was near Mamre, that Jacob's grandfather, Abraham, had bought as a family cemetery from *Ephron the Hittite*. After lugging the body under the scorching Levantine sun to Machpelah field, the sons then had to locate the cave there where Jacob said he must be buried.
Having finally found the cave, the sons dug a big hole inside it, in which they reverentially laid Jacob's body. They then re-filled – also reverentially – the hole. After that, Joseph gave a short eulogy of his now buried father to the throng who had gathered. Next morning everyone embarked on the long journey back to Goshen, in Egypt.
Once back in Goshen the brothers, excepting Joseph, gave voice among themselves to the troubling thoughts that had assailed them during the journey back.
"I'm going to guess we're all thinking the same thing" said Reuben, the eldest.
"What might that be, brother?" said Simeon, the second eldest.
"Well…….you know……..about what little brother Joseph could now do to us in revenge for what *we did to him before*. I mean, I don't think his thoughts about us can be kindly, despite his benign exterior."
"You have a point, brother. What do you suggest?"
"I've thought this all out. Let's tell little brother Joseph that our father Jacob had told us to ask him to forgive us for what we did to him all those years ago, for we were young and foolish and acted like the young and foolish do, and that we didn't mean him any harm, for we returned to the well and he was gone, so there was nothing we could do."
"What have we to lose?"
When the brothers went to Joseph and said to him what they'd agreed to say to him, Joseph said, "My brothers, that is patently a lie. It confirms our father's very perceptive view of you that *you are scum*. Nonetheless you need have no fears. Really. I mean this. I, as our father's favourite, now wear his mantle of God's representative on Earth. So that when you now speak with me, you're speaking with God. Hence whatever I do to you, it's really God doing it. God wishes not to harm you. Therefore I won't harm you."
"That's awfully good of you" said Reuben.
"If you'd been listening properly you wouldn't have said that" said Joseph. "It's not awfully good of me. It's awfully good of God. Let me elucidate. If you hadn't thrown me down the well, the Midianites wouldn't have found me, so they wouldn't have sold me to the Ishmaelites, so I wouldn't have got to Egypt, so I wouldn't have been re-sold to Potiphar, whose wife wouldn't have accused me of molesting her, so I wouldn't have been put in jail, so I wouldn't have met there the baker and butler of the Pharaoh, so I wouldn't have interpreted their dreams, so I wouldn't have got to interpret the Pharaoh's dream, so he wouldn't have made me prime minister, so I wouldn't have administered successfully the famine, so I wouldn't have got you all into Egypt from Canaan where you would surely have died from the famine there. Do you get the picture now?"
Joseph and his brothers remained in Egypt the rest of their lives. Joseph lived to be one-hundred-and-ten. This was not as long as his great-grandfather Abraham's one-hundred-and-seventy-five; and not as long as his grandfather Isaac's one-hundred-and-eighty; and not as long as his father Jacob's one-hundred-and-forty-seven.
Still, Joseph's comparatively short one-hundred-and-ten wasn't to be sneezed at. After all, how many men today – despite cushy lives that the people of those very long-ago days couldn't even imagine – live to be one-hundred-and-ten?

Ducati reduces prices of some of its CBU offerings in India; markdown ranges between Rs 2.92-7.36 lakh.
Italian motorcycle maker, Ducati has announced revised prices for its CBU models. Only four bikes of the company's line-up are imported directly from its factory in Italy – and thus, benefit from the 25 percent drop in custom duties that was announced, recently. These bikes are the Ducati Monster 1200, Monster 1200 S (Red), Monster 1200 S (Charcoal Grey) and the Panigale R Final Edition.
Ducati is the only brand that hasn't been completely affected by the recent revision in CKD and CBU prices. The Italian two-wheeler giant almost entirely imports its offerings from Thailand. Since India and Thailand have a Free Trade Agreement, import duties are significantly lesser, despite the bikes being brought in via the CBU route. However, the bikes that do come in directly from Italy now get price cuts as given below.
All prices, ex-showroom India.

Update: D. & J. (China)
May 25, 2010
As of May 25 . . .
The authorities are now approaching all 20 individuals [those who are planning to come to NY for month-long ch-planting training w/Tim Keller] across China; some have been threatened. Some from more rural and traditional networks have expressed that they are worried and may consider backing out. My colleague just came back from meeting with the authorities and reassured them that we are just attending a CP training event, nothing political. The Beijing police are more civilized and have agreed not to stop us but are not happy. We believe this would be a good precursor to Lausanne and when we return from NY, they will have more trust in these leaders. Pray! Pray! Pray!

Today in English class, we briefly, ever so briefly covered limericks in honor of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day. In fact, I was so tickled over the prospect that I wrote a limerick for my weekly postcard to Hasebe-san. My brilliant poem though would have to be put aside because I later realized that Europe still hasn't switched to Daylight Savings and won't for almost 2 weeks.
Alas. My genius must not be wasted so here is that limerick and others that I have written for various friends over the years.
For Hasebe-san:
There once was a man from Nihon
Who liked to talk on the phone
He found it odd that a day
Could take an hour away
But make him feel closer to home.
Written after a glorious trip with friends to Moab:
There once was a girl named Erin
Who liked to follow the cairns.
To the arches she'd go,
Which way she didn't know,
Only to get lost in the barrens.
There once was a boy named Robbie
There once was a boy named Robbie
Who liked to take pictures as a hobby,
Every sign he would see,
Every flower rock and tree,
Every car, every hotel, and lobby.
There was one a man named Jay,
Who liked to hike all day
But when he found the need,
For his magical octagon he'd plead,
And then he'd be whisked far away.
Melinda once wanted to know,
Melinda once wanted to know,
If a strong wind were to blow,
How fast would I need
For my auto to speed
In order to avoid a tow?
Written after a glorious water fight:
Who liked to get water balloons and bust 'em
On his friends they would spray;
But they'd make him pay
Such is the demise of dear Justin
Such is the demise of dear Justin


text: A month or so ago I burnt up my ranger into a pile of ash. He rose from the ash like a phoenix as, well, a ranger. The plan for him was to become an Arcane Archer. The first few levels were typically easy and I pretty much ripped threw Korthos and much f the harbor. When I hit level 4 or 5 the DPS took a big dive and solo play was like pulling teeth to get anything done. Playing was so painful I actually picked up a heart of wood so I could rebuild him as a TWF ranger and go tempest at level 6 instead of taking Arcane Archer. Not that it was really needed, since as a ranger I get the complete TWF tree free as I level. But if I didn't like Arcane Archer there was no point in having mental toughness or point blank shot and hell if there aren't better feats out there for a Tempest ranger. In the back of my head I was screaming this sucks, omg this sucks, but I was also telling myself I NEED to give it a fair try. If I dont at least get to 15 or higher and play it for a while at higher level I will never know if its anything I would enjoy or not. At 6th level I took the Arcane Archer enhancement and got the benefits of being an Arcane Archer. I also got many shot. Over all I was really really underwhelmed by it. Don't get me wrong many shot is an awesome feat and it pretty much doubled my dps for 20 seconds. The con is its a 2 min cool down with a scaling negative to hit as you get more arrows per shot, which you get as your BAB increases. Many shot maxes out at 4 arrows with a -8 to hit starting at BAB 16. The Arcane Archer bumped up my DPS as well with force arrows, but it was also somewhat underwhelming. I picked up evasion at 9th and really didn't notice its benefits right away. I think most of that was I am so used to playing something with evasion I never notice it, as its always just there for me. I think I grumbled some about not having it, and when I got it I am pretty sure I said "hallelujah" and what not, but the levels just kept grinding. I was still thinking about that heart of wood in my bank, thinking I could join the ranks of all those super uber elite TWF builds out there. At level 10 some good gear opened up to me, I was finally able to pull my paralyzer out of the bank to use, I picked up a level 10 disruptor on the AH for dirt cheap. When I finally got to 11th level and was granted Precise shot and Improved Precise shot the world took a tumble through the tunnel of supper uber and hit awesomeness. In time my many shot was giving me 3 arrows and I was able to line targets up, paralyze the lot of them while doing damage to them all at one time. Arcane Archer by this time had ranked up to a point where I as getting +3 arrows, and the ability to imbue them with acid, fire burst or force. Now at level 15, I have +4 arrows, the ability to imbue them with Force, Force burst, Acid or Fire burst and many shot is giving me 4 arrows a shot, albeit at a -8 to hit. I shred stuff up! I think over all I will be very happy with being an Arcane Archer with Shuhei, now that I have all the bells and whistles ranger has to offer. I have to wait till 18 before I get the final Arcane Archer +5 arrows and the ability to imbue them as slayer arrows, something I am eagerly anticipating. The capstone for Ranger is also beckoning me and I am looking forward to getting that as well.

Friends of Hudson River Park
November 15, 2010
Friends of Hudson River park is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of the entire Hudson River Park. The Hudson River Park extends from 59th Street to Battery Park on the Hudson. They, along with the Hudson River Park Trust, are also responsible for making sure the park is completed as planned. They work the City and State to obtain land and look over land that is currently run by commercial operations (like Chelsea Piers) to make sure it runs in terms with the park's land boundaries. They also confirm that park land is not used for other purposes then they dedicate or plan for.
The group was formed in 1999 at a time when the Hudson River Park was beginning to diminish. They obtained money allocated from the City and State to restore the park, but it was not enough to fulfill their development plan. Since then they have secured $200 million of public and private money for the park, but still estimate $140-200 million will be needed to complete the park. Currently the claim the park is 80% completed. The group is adamant in its pursue to create a community-first park. The park regularly holds events and markets open to the public.
The group only lists seven full-time staff on their website because much of their work is in collaboration with other groups. The website also allows donations and offers volunteer opportunities. They disclose a complete annual report that displays every budget and dollar spent. I have walked through that park a bunch of times, but never knew it was an official park that stretched so far.

This level is a little disorientating but any DMC fans out there should quickly recognize it. Starting out, split your people up so half proceed up and around the map, while the others head south. A few turns in some more enemies and bosses will show up, making things a little more complicated.
Patience and careful management go a long way here. Focus on the weaker enemies first, thinning their ranks with Multi-Attacks. Attacking the bosses while they are surrounded by their own troops will just cause unnecessary amounts of damage to your troops because you will have to suffer through many counter attacks. Multi-Attacks can't be countered, which is why they are so useful. None of the bosses stand out as huge threats, but all of them are able to counter you for over 5k damage each time if they activate their special attack. We are approaching the end of the game, so use your items more liberally to help keep HP and TP% as high as possible to help ease this level along.

This week I was asked by one of my roommates to send some online dating tips to her little brother who had recently joined the fray. I have used online dating on and off for about 9 years and, in writing my email, I realized that the way I date online now is much different than how I started. It certainly would have been nice to have some of these bits o' advice when I was starting. So I've decided to share some of these with you nice people. As with all things subjective, I'm sure my experience will not mirror everyone's but these concepts certainly worked for me!
So here you have it, my far-from-comprehensive, in no particular order Quick & Dirty Guide to Online Dating…
- You always want to spend a little time on your first message to someone. Be sure to reference things you liked in theirprofile to let them know you liked them beyond their hawt photo. Don't worry about coming on too strong – you want to seem really interested. On the other hand, you don't want to spend forever on an email. Just put a some thought into it beyond 'You're cute. Let's grab a drink.'
- Some will disagree on this, but I will never date anyone who doesn't include 2-3 photos of themselves. Likewise, I'm always willing to send photos of myself.
- As far as messaging twice, I generally wouldn't. If you've done a good job on your first email there's no need to write again. They'll write if they're interested. Most people don't say 'No thank you,' if they're not interested, which can be frustrating but seems to be how it goes. A couple of times I've had guys write again and it hasn't really bothered me, but generally the reason I didn't write them is because I wasn't interested. Some people do like to be pursued though so if it's been a week and no response, there's probably no harm in a follow-up.
- Don't spend too much time emailing with someone online – generally one email each & then asking on a date is best. This is mainly because you can have great online chemistry and none in person so you want to get to the date part as quickly as possible before you waste a lot of time emailing. I wrote back & forth for 3 weeks with my first online date- then phone calls, & when we met, the chemistry was SO not there.
- Happy hour dates are best. You don't want to plan a whole big evening together because you may realize in the first 30 minutes that you're not really into them. I used to say I had plans later in the evening and then I 'cancelled' them if I was having a good time but now I think you can just be honest about wanting a quick date to see if the chemistry is there or not. I like a really quirky, fun, well-planned date but maybe save it for the 2nd date when you know the chemistry is there.
- If you enjoy the date, let them know at the end that you'd like to see them again. Follow-up with an email the next day.
- Message lots of people. Don't get hung up on one person you find. Online dating works best when you put a lot of feelers out there. Also, open yourself up to going out with some people you might not be immediately excited by (not totally unexcited by but folks that seem like maybes). It's good experience and I've sometimes been really surprised that someone was a lot more articulate, interesting & attractive in person.
- Have a few people go over your profile with you & make suggestions. Sometimes we're not always the most skilled at presenting the best parts of us. Make sure it shows your personality. Make it funny & quirky rather than just saying "I'm funny & quirky" (although it's good to say it too). Also, make sure you've got good pictures, and get a few opinions about this too.
- Get used to rejection. The wonderful part of online dating is that you have access to a lot more opportunities to date than you'd normally have. Along with this, you're going to experience a fair amount of people with whom you are not a good fit. Try to think about dating as a chemistry/fit thing rather than a 'they didn't like me therefore I must not be good enough, smart enough, etc.'. The truth is that there will be people you have mutual chemistry with and people you don't. You can make sure you're presenting the good parts of you, of course, which helps, but basically there's little to do to change the fact that some people will have the hots for you and some will not (and vice versa!).
- If it's only one date, emailed rejections are ok. There's no need to tell the person at the end of the date that it wasn't a good fit (although some people do). I think it's best, if you're not interested, to email the next day & say nice things about them but that it wasn't a good fit chemistry-wise. If you have gone on more than one date, or have had sex, a phone call is more appropriate.
- Limit the percentage of your life you spend online dating. Especially when you're getting started, it can be exciting and you might be tempted to spend too much of your free time engaged in browsing, writing, and going on dates. Set aside 1-2 days a week to go on first dates.
- If you find yourself wanting to go on follow-up dates with multiple people, that's great, but make sure you stay connected with the other parts of your life- friends, hobbies, alone time. This is what will help make dating a reasonable part of your life rather than all-consuming and will likely make you a healthier and more interesting person to date!
So that's it for now. As many of you know, I have recently started writing a book on dating, exploring why we make poor dating choices and how we can begin dating in healthier ways. I'll probably have a short piece regarding onlinedating in the book, so any ideas or thoughts about what I've written here are welcome!

A Brant Broughton resident, and long-standing member of an all-female brass band that raises money for breast cancer research, has won a national competition that celebrates local heroes.
Swinton Group, High Street insurance broker, launched a nationwide search as part of its diamond anniversary celebrations to find 10 'diamonds' who make a difference in their local communities.
Sally Thornburn from Brant Broughton, who works in Swinton's Grantham branch, has won the award for her role as a trombonist in charity brass band 'Boobs and Brass'. The all-female band, originating from the Midlands, travels the country raising money for breast cancer research and the Ophthalmic Department at Kettering General Hospital.
The cheque presentation took place at Swinton's Grantham branch where Sally received a £1000 donation for Breast Cancer Now in recognition of her efforts.
She was joined by some of her fellow band members who took part in the celebrations by playing a selection of their favourite numbers outside the branch on Grantham High Street.
'Boobs and Brass' was formed in 2006 and has since tripled in size, with two additional troupes in Yorkshire and South East England. So far, they have raised more than £200,000 for breast cancer research.
Speaking at the presentation, which took place on Monday 25th September, Sally said: "The competition is a great way to celebrate the good work happening in local communities and the donation will make a huge difference.
"50,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK and donations like this are vital to turning the tide for them and their families."
Dominic Filkins, customer service manager at Swinton Group's Grantham branch, said: "What Sally and the band have achieved is truly inspiring and the money they have raised is making a genuine difference to people's lives.
"We designed our search for 'Swinton Diamonds' to celebrate local heroes like Sally. We hope this donation will help her continue the important work she is doing. Community spirit is incredibly important to us at Swinton, so this is our chance to give something back to those who go the extra mile."
Swinton Group is donating to community organisations and charities up and down the country throughout September as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations.

So its been a while since I have been on here...but the work schedule has been crazy.
I find it interesting that the more you research things the more you see the truth around you.
So my research has made me to examine foods I eat, hair, skin products I use.
Today I have made a change in several products with more to follow.
As I am writing this blog my cousin asked have I heard of a new product out there....from yours truly Ms Oprah! hydratherma naturals, carols daughters, oyin handmade products,....anyone out there used that...if so thoughts opinions. Any other natural products you are ready to use want to use or tried that was successful hair, skin, food???
But what prompted this is looking at ingredients...even ones that say all natural...and still finding things you don't understand.
So I found a great website that has been helping me...these sites have listings of the things you see in the back of you shampoos, conditioners, body soaps and lotions....so if you can't make your own products or don't have the time do some research.
Somethings I have been finding out...these products have detergents for clothes, oven cleaners, synthetic made chemicals...and I'm thinking is this really healthy to use??? I am disappointed looking at some of the labels of things I have at home. Hmmm if it works does it make it okay....is ignorance really bliss.
Well since this is the wanting to be healthier and natural side..the answer is NO. You need to be informed.
So go in your closets, medicine cabinets and look up these ingredients...at least be conscience of what we are putting on our body, and our hair....this is a part of health and growth.
I'll post on some of my new products and some products that have disappointed me on what i did think was pretty good...but turned out not to be....more to come.....
My blog...journey, stories. Included journey/stories 1 will include my locking hair, tips, techniques;2nd part getting back healthy 3rd living in a house getting settled organized being organized...lifestyle choices...all my journey I want my blog to be more than that...lets chat. lets talk be featured, tell me how do you stay in shape, live healthy, decorating, housing tips, journey's come in all walks of life, thoughts journey's...to be featured send me an email and I will feature your story!

Destroying Our Hair
So I guess it's time to vent…as this will be my last post on hair for the week, but it's been such a hot topic this week...I want to start getting into some of my other topics.
So one of my friends on FB had a question for the brothers of why where are the brothers that like natural hair…she's a newly sister locker (it's coming along quite nicely) and a former loose natural
One of the comments that was made that women w/natural hair have a certain air, or arrogance about them…or that they want everyone to join the movement like we're better. Comparing the experience to how dark skin people and light skin black people treat each other in a discriminatory fashion.
My response???
..we are destroying ourselves ...for the sake of american beauty...people have a negative connotation on locs, natural hairstyles...we as black people have so a narrow view on what beauty is, what healthy is...its a discrimation all over again...you know how many people walk up to me and say so how do you clean your hair, is it dirty, thats not professional, you cant do nothing w/your hair, i should take that out...so if I have a lil arrogance its more of being proud of my decisions including my hair, just like I should be proud of being black.
i think sometimes natural sisters want to raise awareness, whats wrong w/letting our people knw that the chemicals cause fading hair lines, tractional alopecia
For me...It's all about how we take care of our hair…even if we choose these styles making sure that we are maintaining the hair underneath the braids or weaves and not over processing our hair I think we should be aware not because I am locked but bc I am a concerned sister about our women in our community. How we identify beauty, is it safe to say that women who have permed their hair their whole lives (I am a former one) that it's okay. When we have young girls in as young as 9 getting weaves, girls that will never wear their own hair or not having hair and barely in high school…is this what we want to teach our young black girls that the only way keeping up the "image" is not to embrace who they are? What are we doing for these young girls self esteem? This youtube story was very interesting...and shows how even ones parents actions affected her own daughter into wanting that look like her mom...until her mother made a stand to show her that it doesn't matter...all hair is beautiful...and we need to stop hiding.
next week....we will be talking about health...i am trying to get healthy ya'll!
next week....we will be talking about health...i am trying to get healthy ya'll!

Amusement parks in the Midwest are a great source of family fun and a welcome escape from the everyday. Whether you have toddlers or teens, taking them to an amusement park for the day guarantees your nomination for Parent of the Year. As part of a Huffington Post Travel series on family-fun parks, here is our guide to all the key information visitors need to know about Midwest amusement parks.
Cedar Point
Cedar Point is the Midwest's original staycation. Since 1870, visitors have been trekking to the Point for entertainment and she has always delivered. In fact, most Midwesterners have fond memories of visiting at least once in their childhood.
For Thrill-SeekersAmusement park rides often compete with each other for speed, height and overall craziness. Cedar Point's newest, the Windseeker, is no exception. What at first appears to be a simple, old-fashioned swing ride is something much more. The swings raise riders more than 30 stories before the spinning even begins.
Attractions On The LakeCedar Point is located directly on beautiful Lake Erie. You can take a break to enjoy some water sports or just a walk along the lakeshore. Soak City is an adjacent water park owned by Cedar Point and a popular secondary attraction for guests who are visiting a bit longer.
Places To EatCedar Point has a variety of places to eat, from snack shacks and hamburger stands to sit-down restaurants. Fare includes barbecue, salads, wraps, sandwiches, waffle fries, cheeseburgers, chili, popcorn, taffy, doughnuts and muffins. There is definitely not a lack of dining options here.
Safety RecordAccording to TheCoasterCritic.com, nine riders of the Wild Cat roller coaster sustained minor injuries in 2008 when an ascending car rolled back and collided with several other cars. In 2007, three riders of the Magnum roller coaster were injured after an incoming train bumped into one leaving the station.

Also, in 1998, 23 riders of the Demon corkscrew were stuck upside down for almost two hours and four were injured after a rear-axle nut on the last car became loose.

Haghia Sophia
Previous churches have been destroyed, this is the one rebuilt by Emperor Justinian in 536 AD. The Haghia Sophia, Saint Sophia, the church of Holy Wisdom is massive and a little disappointing. It does not retain any elements of its former glory, to me, it is a shell of its former glory, a huge shell but nonetheless, a must see in Istanbul. This is a principal Byzantine building still standing in Islamic Turkey. Even though they say they are secular, Islamic ideas and culture runs very deep and is not lost at all in Turkey. Do not be deceived, the undertones are there and you'll always be the infidel. Tourists from all over the world throng the streets of Istanbul and in some places it gets so crowded that you won't get a chance to see it. Today all the names of churches are 'turkified' and you must use the Turkish name before you'll be understood. The new name for the Haghia Sophia is Aya Sofya. It was used as a mosque for 400 years during the Ottoman reign and one sees Islamic symbols all over. It's quite disconcerting. The glorious mosaics have faded but there is an attempt at restoration. Lots of Byzantine churches have been converted to mosques, for the few that are not, they are called museums. There is a small vestige of Orthodox Christian life in Istanbul, most Christians, who are mostly Greeks have left the country.
I loved this trip because I became interested in the Greek and Armenian genocides perpetrated by the Turkish people under Kemal Ataturk with the complicity of the Germans. One must never forget history, to forget would mean to repeat it.

So much fun. Maybe not for the players, though.
Tippett was working them big time. Practice supposedly started at noon, we got there at 11:40, and they were already running drills and looking exhausted. All of what we saw was centered around defense and just working harder to stop pucks.
Joel Lundqvist and Jere Lehtinen did not skate (though Lehts did come out afterwards to sign autographs). Apparently Lundqvist suffered some sort of shoulder or upper body injury? Steve Ott skated, looked good. Sergei Zubov was skating and looking very happy to get a chance to shove some rookies into the boards. Doug Janik also skated, and his eye looked a little less swollen.
According to DMN, Andy Moog was down there before practice working with Marty Turco and Tobias Stephan…
Moog worked with both goalies before practice and said he simply wanted to remind them of the details of their game.
We met up with Jen, Myra, The Hub, and The Kid towards the end to go stand for autographs. Mo was already at the end of the line (sneakin' out, eh?) but was signing things for people down there.
Just about everyone came out for signatures. Sean Avery did not. Zubov did. Boucher did not (turns out he was hanging around for the kids hockey lesson – his son was practicing?). The rookies did. Morrow did.
Poor Turco… we tried to compliment him on his shoes (green stripes = awesome) and he joked that that was the best thing we had to say about him. Aw, Turks! We still love you!
A truck alarm went off in the parking garage. Krys Barch came out, looking very beat up after his fight, and admitted that it was his. He wasn't the only one who looked worn and unhappy. Ott looked very frustrated, Trevor Daley was limping and admitted to possibly being injured, Brunnstrom had a bit of a shiner on his right eye, and Morrow and Ribeiro both seemed very subdued.
Stuuuuu! Barnes came out and went down the line, which rocked. James Neal came down the line, turned around, went back inside, and came out again with Ott.
Perhaps the best part was when Robidas came out. He was on his cellphone, speaking French, in a bright red hoodie, and not looking like he was about to die of shame like the other defensemen. He very nicely got off the phone for a picture with Jen and finished going down the line to sign things. Then, he came back up with his son, who is positively the most adorable kid I've ever seen. We saw later that Robi was helping out with the lessons, out on the ice with the little hockey kids.
Off Ice SHR +/-:
Stephane Robidas: two for his adorable kid, two for sounding awesome and French-Canadian, two for looking adorable with his kid, two for pitching in with the kids hockey even though he'd just had an exhausting practice himself, and one for being nice enough to hang up his phone for his fans; +9
Trevor Daley: one pity point because he looked pretty miserable after practice; +1
Krys Barch: one because the truck thing was funny and one pity point for the painful-looking face injury; +2
Sean Avery: minus-two for ditching; -2
James Neal: one for being friendly and hopefully cheering up Otter; +1
Steve Ott: one pity point for having looked so very unhappy; +1
Doug Janik: one for signing autographs for a few people, even though he had to go the other way to get to his car; +1
Marty Turco: one for being upbeat even though he seemed really ashamed at his performance and two because that self-deprecating joke broke our hockey hearts; +3
Joel Lundqvist: two for the funny "Is it Swedish?" in Saturday's game; +2
Fabian Brunnstrom: one for having to deal with the three of us all wanting autographs and pictures and probably confusing the heck out of him; +1

When the Clermont East Ridge Knights line up against rival Bushnell South Sumter to open the football season Friday night, a familiar face may be missing from the sideline.
Knights Coach Bud O'Hara may miss the season opener after surgery to repair a broken right fibula sustained during preseason practice. O'Hara's son Seth, the Knights' defensive coordinator, will replace him as head coach. Seth O'Hara will continue to call the defense, and Mark Woolum, the offensive coordinator, will call offensive signals.

Reading In Small Things Forgotten, I have a bit of an urge to dig up my back yard. The foundation of a small building is back there (possibly mid-nineteenth century*) and a similar foundation (less thoroughly covered) can be found in the hedgerow abutting our neighbor's place. There might be something neat in there. But I am a bit too lazy to play amateur archaeologist…and in those moments when I am not lazy, and wonder if there is anything remotely interesting back there, I am dissuaded by the "amateur."
* Our front porch includes a stone with the year 1855 carved into it. The house itself is most likely from the 1930s, but a neighbor said a previous owner had incorporated a stone from elsewhere on the property.

When people ask me what quality I admire most, my answer is always the same: balance. There are many ways that balance can manifest, and I think what it boils down to (at least for me) is about embodying a sense of strength and grace. My studies of Bio-medicine have taught me that balance exists on micro and macro levels. In anatomy, muscles are generally categorized as agonist or antagonist. Agonist muscles are contractile, while antagonist muscles act in opposition to agonists. In order for the biceps to contact, the triceps much relax (and vice versa). It's a delicate balance between holding on, and letting go.
In Chinese medicine, the Five-Phases illustrate this point in a similar manner. For example, muscle (in TCM) is associated with the Spleen, and the Earth element. Earth is compact, it holds in, and gives foundation. Interestingly, Earth generates the Metal element and is associated with the Lungs, breathing, and water regulation in the upper part of the body. The interaction between Earth and Metal represents the ultimate contraction, and release.I think in order to achieve balance it is essential to have a strong foundation, as well as the ability to be remain tender. This year has really reminded me how important it is to recognize, and remain accountable to this fact. I've been able to let go of a lot, and still remain resolute about my vision and goals. The process has been equally challenging and humbling.
Yesterday was the last day of the Fall 2016 quarter. In just three terms, I will be finished with graduate school. It's hard to believe, but I'm in the home stretch. Throughout my experiences, I've come to recognize that balance is the steady foundation which makes liberation possible.
In Solidarity,

Wisdom and Wealth
"Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end." — Proverbs 29:11
What a Scrooge — Bill Gates is only giving .001% (that's one hundredth of a percent) of his wealth to his kids. Yup, that's correct. Bill and Melinda Gates are giving a reported $10 million for each of their three children: pocket change compared with their $90 billion in wealth. By comparison, Buffett's three kids each have a $2 billion foundation funded by Dear Old Dad. For scale, 0.0001 is called a basis point (‱): "A basis point (often denoted as bp, often pronounced as "bip" or "beep") is a unit equal to one hundredth of a percentage point, or one part per ten thousand, 1/10,000. The same unit is also (rarely) called a permyriad, literally meaning 'for (every) myriad (ten thousand)'."[1]
To me, Bill Gates is truly an exemplar of wealth and wisdom. He has not only generated the greatest amount of financial wealth of any person in history, he has also used that money wisely to reduce disease and poverty and improve health and education throughout the world. He has given back generously and put his money where his mouth is. He is a man of few words and big actions. And his kids aren't even mad at him for their paltry inheritance.
Over the centuries, most religions have had a lot to say about wealth and wisdom.
In the Koran, hikmah is translated literally as "wisdom" and means that knowledge is the power to discern what is true and right.
According to the Koran, anyone who has wisdom will not adopt the narrow ways of "Satan, but will follow the broad Way of Allah." In the Koran, a distorted view of wisdom is to be clever and miserly with one's wealth and to be always looking for ways to acquire more and more of it. Those who have true wisdom spend their wealth generously in good deeds after fulfilling their own necessities of a moderate standard.[2]
In Christianity, there are also many passages in the Bible concerning wealth and wisdom.
Proverbs 21:20 says: "There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man swallows it up."
Ezekiel 28:4 says, "By your wisdom and understanding you have acquired riches for yourself and have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries."
Matthew 19:21 says, "if you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor." According to the Bible, one of the ways a wise person can be identified is by the way he or she handles money. Wisdom is not measured by the amount of money one possesses, but by one's attitude toward money, the way it is acquired, and by the way it is used.
In Judaism, the Torah contains a story about the Mishkan — or Tabernacle — the portable Sanctuary that pre-dated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. According to this legend, a huge amount of gold, silver, and precious gems went into the construction of the Mishkan. The wealth, it is told, came from the treasure the Jews brought out of Egypt as reparations for their decades of slavery.
The Torah, however, does not suggest that possessions are an end in themselves. Indeed, if anything, a person whose life revolves around them becomes a slave to his or her property.
The story warns of the danger of ending up right back in an Egypt of our own making. According to the Torah, when God grants us wealth, we should use it for charity in all its guises. The effort we put into our professions then becomes an effort put into sustaining the poor.[3]
It seems to me that Bill and Melinda Gates are knocking it out of the park on the standards established in the religious texts of Muslims, Jews, and Christians for wealth and wisdom. Trump…not so much.
All religions allude to the challenge of acquiring enough wisdom to deal with whatever wealth you may have.
These various points of view help us address the questions, "What is wisdom?" and "How do you measure wealth?" For me, one of the greatest sources of wisdom is the Tao Te Ching.
In a recent on-line conversation with Luke Chan, my QiGong master in China, we exchanged views on wisdom as expressed in Chapter 41 of the Tao Te Ching. Here is a condensed translation:
Oh faith! A great scholar hears of Tao and practices it diligently.
Oh doubt! An average scholar hears of Tao and gives it a thought now and then.
Oh stupid! A foolish scholar hears of Tao and laughs out loud.
If it is not being laughed at, it is not enough to be the long life Tao. Thus it is said:
He who is enlightened with Tao seems stupid.
He who leads from behind seems timid.
He who is profound seems ordinary.
Oh how true that if one does not understand a man, one tends to regard him as a fool!
Yes, he who has obtained virtuous Te is humble but seems empty;
Has great purity but seems tarnished;
Has abundance to share with others but seems not enough;
Has great strength but seems frail;
Has real quality but seems unreal.
Oh it's true that the greatest appears beyond the ordinary:
The greatest sound is silence.
The greatest image has no shape. Oh nameless!
Tao is hidden in everything and in every thought.
I commented:
"I loved this translation of Chapter 41. I wonder if the converse is also true: he who is truly ordinary and stupid appears enlightened and profound to some. Having the wisdom to make accurate discriminations is always a challenge."
Luke responded:
"I agree with your comment. Like the other 80 chapters, this chapter invites us to look inside ourselves to find humility, purity, abundance, strength, and quality.
You see people according to what you are (a mirror of yourself). In other words, you see real quality if you have real quality.
This chapter describes how people look from the outside, not from the inside. In Chapter 47, the Tao Te Ching suggests that the farther you go away from your core, the less you know. Each reader of this chapter will obtain different information.
You are not reading the Tao Te Ching; Tao Te Ching is reading you.
I classify this chapter as 'silence' because I like the sentence 'Silence is the greatest sound.'"[4]
I commented back,
"The whole chapter speaks to me, but I especially like the sentence, 'Tao is hidden in everything and every thought.' Your perspective on how this chapter invites us to look inside ourselves in very helpful. Everything depends on making accurate discriminations and that starts with seeing ourselves with impartial objectivity and compassion. If we can find humility, strength, and quality inside ourselves, we are more likely to find those same qualities in others."
To me, wisdom does not come from financial wealth, just as wealth does not necessarily come from wisdom.
Wisdom is being able to discern accurately who we are internally as well as understanding clearly how the world works externally.
Wealth can be measured by our physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being as well as our financial well-being. I happen to love the wisdom contained within the Tao Te Ching, but I acknowledge there are many other sources of wisdom. The real issue is how do we wisely manage our wealth or lack thereof. Too many people suffer from a scarcity of resources when there is such an abundance of wealth in the world.
Bill and Melinda Gates have shown us the possibilities for wisely and generously distributing our financial wealth. Even if we don't have the amount of money the Gates have accumulated, we may have other sources of wealth that we can think about giving away wisely and generously. I know many wise people who don't have much money, but have abundant intellectual knowledge, emotional intelligence, and spiritual energy. Many of these people are generously giving away their wealth and wisdom to those who are wise enough to see their quality, purity, humility, and strength.
And, by the way, I'm not too concerned about the Gates children's ability to navigate this world with a $10 million starter. I hope they will be as wise with their wealth as their parents have been.

She was already 8 years old when she left her family to live at an orphanage. Though she had been raised by her dad and mom, times were tough without employment, and there were days of hunger and children without schooling, so when the opportunity arose for she and her sister to be cared for at a new orphanage in town, her mother agreed, and Magalie spent two years under the care of Cap Haitian Children's home.
Seven years later she would start her employment at another childcare facility. Children of the Promise had moved to Lagossette and along with her mother and sister, and many aunts and cousins, too, Magalie began to build a different life for her future than what she experienced in her own youth.
I first met Magalie when we moved to Haiti in 2012. She was one of the nannies working in our daughter, Rose's room in the days before we could take Rose to live with us. She was a nanny who played so well with the babies, hoisting them over her shoulder for a game of piggy-bag, giving gentle tosses, and zurberts. Rose loved her! I was still a very new Creole speaker and after stumbling through a basic greeting and trying to ask about how Rose was doing, she responded with, "you can speak English if you want." Her eyes smiled and I knew right away she could be a friend.
Last year when admissions dropped and lay-offs were necessary, Magalie lost her job. Then she entered an unexpected pregnancy. Her jaw tightened when she told me she was going to have a baby and she wasn't sure what she was going to do. "Bondye konnen – God knows".
We talked about healthy pregnancy and birth and healthy babies. We talked about worries, family support, and scared baby's daddies, too; how life and priorities change with a baby, how she was going to keep this child, how she was going to be a Mom. How there are mistakes and redemption.
In November Nevenson was born, plump and healthy, with silky brown skin, perfect black rings of hair, and all the needs of one who wakes wet or scared or hungry in the night, demanding Mama's all. Magalie just looked and looked at him with the amazement and pride of a new Mom. She told me even if she had to raise him on her own, she was going to do her best for him, and I believed her.
Raising a baby is not an easy thing in Haiti. There is no running water or toilet or even electricity in Magalie's house. Sometimes while at home, it is less expensive to do extra laundry than to pay for disposable diapers. While the house is now cinder block instead of stick and mud, and the nag of hunger and malnutrition has moved to someone else's place, these increments of progress, still leave hardship.
There are mosquitoes that carry diseases that endanger the lives of Haiti's little ones so all the worries of fever and illness that we have in the Western world are amplified with the knowledge that there may be no Tylenol for the fever that ravages. There is no WebMD or nurse call line to access for pressing fears in the night. There is so little money for a trip to the hospital or the moto ride as you bounce along the dirt road through sugarcane fields, cradling your baby to your chest and praying. These unexpected needs often mean asking, once again, for help from a neighbor or friend; once again trusting that God has placed the resources somewhere within your reach to care for your children, or the grace to accept what comes if He has not…
Magalie started working mornings for our family at the start of the school year last year. While I taught Noah and Elijah school in the morning, Magalie helped with watching the girls, walking Natalie to pre-school, and doing some kitchen prep work.
This year I have not needed as much help at home but Magalie has been able to pick up some part time work subbing for other nannies in the family homes, in the baby house, or when there are sick kids in the hospital. In addition to this, she has been chosen to begin working with a team from the US dedicated to increasing entrepreneurial work in Lagossette. They arrive next week to begin training for a product that Magalie and other family members will be able to make from home and sell to both local tourists and potentially for a foreign market as well. Magalie also hopes to start a small home business, using a small loan to buy bundles of used clothes from the US and reselling them to people in the local community.
There is much reason for hope for the future for Magalie and Nevenson. She is young, but she is willing to work hard to support her family if given a chance to do so. Children of The Promise has been able to play just a small part in her life by providing employment and I hope we are able to do so for many years to come! She is such an asset to our community and I am blessed to call her friend.

Being a temporarily dogless dog person is hard.
It's hard because people assume that you're not much interested in dogs and it's hard because you don't get offered a lot of dog opportunities.
Strangers think you're a bit nuts if you make an inordinate fuss of their pooches, as I found once with the bloke who was walking absolutely the most gorgeous field spaniel puppy in our village. The puppy was very friendly and when thepuppy and I had thoroughly molested each other, I offered to puppysit any time (this from a complete stranger) he said, in the politest way "Err. .. my wife and I don't go out much, but, er, thanks."
Idiot. What did he think? I was a mad woman bend on seducing him through the sheer force of my puppy lurve or that I was seeking some licit entrance to his home in order to rob him of his grandfather's pocket watches? Could he not tell I was merely a bit desperate for some Essence de Puppy?
But enough with the whining. Fact is, I got a huge dose of Dog this weekend.
Saturday evening was a get-together with some friends who have a lurcher. Dill is the Julian Clary of dogs – constantly looks as though he's wearing beautifully applied thick kohl eye-liner.
He greeted me with uncontrolled enthusiasm, and being a tall dog, could reach to lick under my chin, then, at the table later, stood calmly with his head in my lap while I scratched the bony bit between his ears.
The ears are the other things that make him special because they are like ultra-animated Yoda ears, flying upright and directionally in search of any odd sounds, or flopping relaxed.
Dill soars over stiles and five bar gates. He runs beside bikes and goes half-marathon training with his owner. He flops dramatically with a prima donna groan on his very large bed on the kitchen floor when tired. And yes, obviously, I'd dog-nap him like a shot.
On Sunday, there was a perfect dog walk with three working cocker spaniels, coats all gleaming with health and streaking about investigating every single scent on the top of the Cotswolds near Cleeve Hill.
They have a very clear order of dominance, with Rudeboy the oldest and wisest and the one with the most working instinct, Top Dog, followed by Rio, who is much more attached to treats and people (in that order) to show the tireless attention to duty that Rudeboy shows – and then there is Digsy, the youngest, sweetest and most attached to his mum.
One of the nicest things about going walking with these dogs is the joy of watching spaniels enjoying themselves hugely and the way these pack animals are immensely good-natured and friendly with other passing dogs.
The camaraderie extends to the owners too – especially on a sunny day. An un-dogged friend who joined us was astonished at how friendly other dog-walkers are and how it's de rigeur to let the dogs meet and play rumbustiously while the owners have a chat before continuing their walk. It's a part of life you almost forget when you haven't got a dog to walk.
There are other things you miss too. I started to write them all down but quite frankly, the un-dogged just wouldn't understand. Suffice to say, this temporary dogless status has been going on far too long now, and it's more than a bit sad that I can't see an end to it. But hey, no moaning. The weekend Dose of Dog should last me for a bit.

Le Cassoulet,
18 Selsdon Road
South Croydon CR2 6PA
Tel. 0208 633 1818
Food type: French
Food rating: 2/10
Nearest tube: South Croydon (Overground Train)
Website: Le Cassoulet
While most foodies are well aware of Le Vacherin, it is probably Le Cassoulet which put John on the map when it was awarded a Bib Gourmand in the 2009 Michelin Guide – the first restaurant in Croydon to receive this honour. The restaurant itself is located around the corner from John's other restaurant, Fish & Grill which I had visited a few days prior.
Stepping into the restaurant, you are immediately reminded of saloon you see in cowboy movies. The decor does its best to capture the flavour of a classic French bouchon with its lilac flowers imprinted wall papers, velvet-backed chairs, striped banquettes and royal purple curtains. The white clothed tables are draped with white paper while the floor is wooden with no carpet in sight. A few prints of roosters and fruits garnish the wall.
As its name suggest, Le Cassoulet serves up its ubiquitously named dish along with other classic French bistro dishes. Like other Malcolm John restaurants, great care is placed in the sourcing of the ingredients. Starters are priced between £6.50 – £12, Mains £14.50 – £17.95 (A chateaubriand for two is £42), Side dishes £2.50 – £4.50 and Desserts £6.50 – £8.95. A lunch menu is also available at £16.50 for 3 courses.
Brown bread is supplied by Maison Blanc and is served cold with two types of butter – simple salted butter and unsalted green peppercorn infused. The bread was passable although by comparison this was less good than the bread served at Fish & Grill (1/10). The butter was frustratingly unspreadable, too cold for its own good.
I started with a true French classic – escargots cooked with garlic parsley butter. Armed with my snail tongs and special snail extracting fork, I worked my way quickly through six plump molluscs. They had reasonable texture although the butter sauce was over-salted. More of the brown bread (this time warmed) accompanied the dish. (1/10)
Frog Legs, Garlic & Parsley
Next was a plate of frogs legs gently cooked with more garlic, parsley and butter (I would dare you to take a whiff of my breath after this meal). Timing was yet again spot on, with the plump frogs leg keeping its soft, succulent texture. Unlike the dish preceding this, I felt that the frogs legs were under-seasoned. Did they run out of salt or were my taste buds just numb from all the sodium chloride from the dish prior? (1/10)
Assiette of Hare, Truffled Mash, Red Cabbage
The best dish of the day was a sublime plate of hare featuring roasted fillet, pan fried loin and a pie of braised hare leg. The fillet was served on a bed of red cabbage braised with a few apples and an indulgent, buttery truffled mash. A little red wine jus finished the whole dish off. I had previously enjoyed a very good hare dish at the Square and the cooking of the fillet in particular more than held its own with its accompaniments carefully judged. If only the same could have been said about the pot pie which was sadly bland, yet again from a lack of a seasoning. In all honesty, I don't see the need of the pie in the first place and the dish would have scored better without. (5/10 overall, but 7/10 if you ignore the pie)
[At this point, the manager approached me to ask me why I was taking photos of my food (on my sad camera phone, no less). I explained to him that I was taking it for my personal collection to which he claimed that their company did not allow photos to be taken without prior permission and told be cease taking any further pictures. I respectfully agreed but I would like to point out that 'it is company policy not to allow photos to be taken' is utter tosh given the fact that I was at Fish & Grill only a few days prior when Malcolm John was in the kitchen and they were happy for me to take as many photos as I wanted. Apparently the manager is new and had just started work here.]
I finished off with a tarte tatin. Here it is served as a portion for two people but given that this is my favourite dessert, I simply couldn't resist going for it. Preparation time takes 25 minutes which is always a good sign as it means the kitchen is preparing it a la minute instead of simply reheating pre-made tarts. Such waits tends to end up in disappointment which unfortunately was the case here. While the pastry was of reasonable quality, my problem lied in the caramel which was cloyingly sweet masking the sharpness of the apple. In my opinion, the best tarte tatin has just that small tang of acidity from the apple which gives this very rich dessert a huge lift. Nevertheless, the apples were fine (I would prefer them a touch firmer) and the homemade vanilla ice-cream, made with proper Madagascar Vanilla, was of very good quality. (3/10)
Service was a bit of an enigma. On one hand, my server, a young lady whose name I have failed to remember, was pleasant, helpful and attentive even if she did not know the menu inside out. The downside of this was the manager who would not have been out of place starring in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. I am not taking the whole issue of photography to heart, but it did iritate me when he blatantly saw that I had finished eating but still stood around twiddling his thumbs despite my server busy tending to other customers instead of just clearing up my plates.
The food? Well, I was expecting a lot from Le Cassoulet given my great experience at Fish & Grill. However, aside from a superb half dish (part of the hare main course) cooking here in general was inconsistent, let down by careless seasoning. Malcolm John does not do much cooking here anymore, preferring to spend more time at his new venture and this clearly showed when I visited.

Taxidermy sculpting epoxy!
As I hinted last week, I've been investigating new sources of materials while working on the large dragon seen in the last post. Thanks to artist friend, Valerie Bunnell, I was introduced to the magic of "Apoxie sculpt" by Aves from the Taxidermy (!) Supply house of McKenzie: www.Mckenziesp.com No, I haven't turned to a new art form, but this epoxy is worth taking a look at. As all epoxies, it comes in two part which you mix up. The beauty is that has a working time of up to 2-3 hours after mixing. During that time you can push, prod, sculpt to your heart's content. Full cure time is 24 hours. At that point it can be sanded, drilled, painted , carved, etc. As the container says: it "adheres to ceramic, metal, wood, stone, glass, plastic, resin, fiberglass, polymers..and more.
For my purposes, it was just the thing to attach my metal armature to wood head parts and to attach the Dragon's "jaw" to the rest of the dragon head. Attaching wood and stone parts has always been a little tricky for me. This opens up all sorts of possibilities. The photo above shows how I used the epoxy to bond the wood to the wire armature. The epoxy comes in three colors. I chose to buy the brown since it worked best with the "stump".
Just goes to show, you never know where inspiration will come from next!
More photos of dragon as it progresses in next week's post!
Create on! Wendy

There is sex that I regret. There is sex that I am ashamed of now. And there is sex that was beyond all my wildest dreams. But I think that most of all there is sex that I don't remember. There are a scary number of encounters that have slipped almost completely from my memory. All that remains are scattered fragments of nights that I can just about vaguely recall – the aftermath of a drunken dinner party, coming home from some groovy club that closed decades ago, a hotel room in some exotic far-off land – or was it Norwich? Bargains feverishly struck in the back of black cabs, mouth on mouth, hands in pants, the driver slyly watching in his rear-view mirror – these random shards of memory come back, but none of the details.
Such as – who was she, this long-lost partner in sex crimes? Were we tender in the morning, or embarrassed and distant? Did we have fun? Why can't I see her face? How come we never saw each other again? And… far too many of these… what was her name? That one was a blonde, and that one had to go to her office in the morning, and that other one was the best friend of our hostess and she sent me a funny postcard of a train going into a tunnel and was touchingly understanding that I already had a girlfriend – but to be frank, it is all a bit hazy.
We all love more than once – but not much more. And there is, for all of us, the love of a lifetime, the other half of the sky, our soul mate. Though unfortunately some go to their graves without ever meeting her. But she is out there. The girl in all the old songs. The dream lover. The name you give to the angels when they ask you to recall the thrill of them all. But let's hope the angels don't want a full list, because between the handful of great loves that a man has in a lifetime, there are the encounters where the sex has about as much meaning as a takeaway pizza, the kind of sex that remains in the memory about as long as the average American Hot.
It is not just names that I have forgotten. There are names that – I am not proud of myself – I never actually knew. Then it was too late to ask. No doubt yesterday's girls forgot me too. Almost immediately. Or sooner than that. They were never sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. And I would bet my last euro that there is nothing remotely unusual about sexual amnesia. At least, not for men. I would wager my left nut that most men born in the second half of the 20th century have a sexual history that they can't recall in any great detail. Because there is simply too much of it.
We were formed by an era of sexual freedom that had its apex in that tiny period of human history when the world was post-Pill and pre-AIDS. And even if you were born too late to remember the golden years of sexual promiscuity, even if you came of age during the great condom restoration of the Eighties, that time has cast its spell over your sex life, and informed every brief encounter. Even if you were born when Mrs Thatcher was prime minister, you are shaped by the years when sex was limitless and free. Sex for recreation not procreation, sex without pregnancy, sex without consequence. I have no doubt that there are sexual adventures that I have forgotten entirely – brief trysts where not even the memory of a cab ride or a spasm of pleasure or the curve of a face or the light of the morning after remains. For the last 50 years, men have expected to have a lot of sex. It stands to reason that the numbers soon mount up.
"How many are we talking?" Piers Morgan once pressed Nick Clegg in this magazine. "Ten? 20? 30?" "No more than 30," said Clegg, quickly adding, "It's a lot less than that." If Nick Clegg doesn't know exactly how many sexual partners he has had, then imagine what it must be like for Hugh Hefner or Mick Jagger. As we used to say back in the 20th century – who's counting? The answer is suddenly – everybody. Promiscuity is last century's thing. Now there is a theory knocking around that, for a happy life, there is perfect number of partners. And the perfect number of partners is… ten.
The Rule Of Ten states you will just about make it into double figures before you find the love of your lifetime. The Rule Of Ten says – nobody wants a virgin, that's just plain weird. But, quite frankly, neither do they want someone with so many notches in their bedpost that the mattress falls through the ceiling. When Piers Morgan asks you to pick a number, the theory is that you should be able to reply with a considerable degree of pride – ten, Piers. I remember them all well, Piers, and with great affection.

how many sex partners is too many for women?

The Amazon India couture week 2015 presented in association with Sunar, had its opening show by Sabyasachi Mukherjee on July 29th 2015, at the Delhi's Taj Palace Hotel.
The show will go on till Aug 2nd 2015 and be a harbinger of creative works from the 12 topmost couturiers of the country.
July 30th 2015 saw the Day 2 of the show and the designers who made the day a success were Rahul Mishra and Gaurav Gupta. Let's have a look at the magic unfurled by the two designers at the India Couture Week 2015.
Rahul Mishra debuted as a couturier at 8:00 pm at the Shah Jehan Hall of the Taj Palace, Delhi. He sold the jacketed look to his audience with capes and bandgalas fused with different ensembles. His collection had a more global, east meets west approach. The sarees with jackets, conical poncho- cut tops with pants and lehengas, and tube top cholis with lehenga and sheer cape above were all uniquely crafted. He also displayed A-line skirts with side slits and flared skirts with sheer panels.
Rahul Mishra's mesmerizing collection was more of ivory in colour. The ramp was a shade card from ivory to black, violet, pink and brown. The neutrals however dominated the bolds. Fabrics used for the collection varied from Chanderi, wool, silk and Banarasi. Titled the 'Tree of Life' the ensembles did show glittering leaf and flower motifs in prints; the tree was also visible through intricate vine-like embroidery on many pieces.
"A woman is strong but at the same time she loves her feminity. She's not shying away from her feminity, she is proud of it. She is soft but she is strong. This duality inspired me a lot," Rahul told reporters at the venue. Admitting to take inspiration from his wife Rahul showcased the modern multitasking woman wrapped in multiple layers of strength and vulnerability.
The designer presented 34 garments on the ramp and as usual let his collections do the attention grabbing without a showstopper.
Gaurav Gupta, who is a pro couturier, followed Rahul Mishra at 9:30 pm at the Durbar Hall of Taj Palace, Delhi. The runway lighted up to reveal an earthy look of twigs with two hands trying to hold the passing ensembles of the collection. He said, "Silt is sand and cipher is zero and it is for you to decipher" about his collection, which was titled "Silt and Cipher".
Gaurav's collection took the gold trail with models displaying golden makeup on face and crown. Most of the dresses were also given the glittering touch. The collection comprised of mostly saree look gowns and other extraordinary gowns with flares, fishtails, trains and gorgeous lehengas with layers too. His design also included pants peeping through flowing slit skirts and corset cut tops with petal layered skirts. The compilation was white and ivory with gold and silver, midnight blue and maroon with light shimmer, powder pinks and beiges with gold. The intricately done brocade embroidery on many pieces was a feast to the eyes.
Gaurav's collection looked apt for bridal wear and it had a mystical feel to it. Bringing the magical collection to a culmination was Kalki Koechlin, the showstopper of the show. She wore a gold solid organza off-shoulder gown with lot of layers arranged asymmetrically. A statement layered flower on the one-shouldered strap, connected the bottom with the simple outline above. Her puffed crown hairdo and golden ear-cuffs added drama to her attire. Kalki said that she feels like a princess in the outfit and that's exactly what Gaurav's creation makes a girl feel like.
Overall the Day 2 was a monochromatic presentation which celebrated womanhood, through the decadence of its attires. They displayed lot of imagination in putting together one surreal scintillating night.
