We live in a true Information Age, in which one can discover almost anything if one looks. This has resulted in "information overload" for many people, and so the opposite occurs; one reduces the number of sources to a handful that fulfill the need. This, in turn, has resulted in the rise of Misinformation Agents; those who use simplistic answers ("this group are all this way") and Confirmation Bias ("this guy agrees with me so he is right") to make vast fortunes. They can fill entire days with "experts" and op ed pieces that have very little real or true information in them.
As a person of a scientific background, you know I do not operate that way. When I worked in Intelligence, I endeavored to be as accurate as possible, eliminating every form of bias from my analysis, even if that was not what the "higher ups" wanted to hear. Since I was able to predict a number of world events, I guess it worked. (The fact that these events were such a shock to our government leaders shows just how short a distance my reports were fed "up the chain")
This is a long introduction, but it has a point. I write these posts both as a mental exercise and to give you the most accurate information available. Some people have reposted or downloaded them, while on the other extreme I have been "unfriended", as in the name of the new movie. (My mom has me print out each one). I do hope that they are fun and informative, and I greatly encourage comments and discussion. (The most successful of which has been "Biblical Marriage". Wow)
So, today's subject is something that is in the news. The concept of the Caliphate; what it is, what it is not, etc.
The Caliphate, in Arabic khilāfa, is an Islamic political/religious state led by a caliph, in Arabic khalīfah, which is a shortened version of khalifat rasul Allah, or "successor of the Messenger of God".
For most of human history, the ideas of government and religion were interwoven. The government gained all or some of its right to rule from religion, while religion was supported in turn by the government. The idea of the total separation of church and state was not solidified until the Age of Enlightenment in the 17th century.
Muhammad was the religious/political leader of the Muslim world until his death in the year 632 CE. A meeting was held in Medina at the Saqifah house to determine who his replacement would be. The standard Arabic practice at that time was to chose a new leader through a shura, or a consultation of the ruled, in which those who came voiced their opinions and sometimes voted. The debate was very heated, but eventually Abu Bakr, father-in-law of Muhammad, was elected. He had been a war leader, and was more feared than loved.
Abu Bakr died in 634 CE, but before he did he chose Umar bin al-Khat'tab, his chief adviser and also a Companion of Muhammad, as his replacement. He was promptly voted in with a very easy election. Umar was more of a good leader, living simply in a mud hut without doors and laid the foundation for what Islamic culture would become. He was assassinated by a Persian in 644 due to the Islamic conquest of Persia.
Uthman ibn Affan was elected next. He had been a companion of Muhammad, and was a lifelong business man. His efforts made the Islamic nation an economic powerhouse in the world. He too was assassinated in 656 by an armed group of dissidents.
Now we come to one of the major events in Islamic history, and the source of much of the current troubles today. The next Caliph was Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was cousin and son-in-law to Muhammad. Many people had felt that Ali was the natural successor to Muhammad. They had been very close, and Ali had done for and learned so much from Muhammad. There was even an incident where Muhammad was said to have declared Ali to be his successor.
Ali's reign was troubled by internal strife and it was dominated by the First Fitna, or civil war, mostly started over the assassination of Uthman. In the Year 40 in the Islamic calender (661 CE), Ali was attacked while praying in the Great Mosque of Kufa Iraq, and died 2 days later from his wounds and poison.
This period of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs (632-661) is called the Rashidun Caliphate, and it was the largest empire in history up until that point. This is the "Good Old Days" that is looked back upon by those hoping to found a new one.
Ali's son Hasan was elected caliph, but turned power over to Muawiyah a few months later. Mauwiyah founded the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) and the position of caliph became more or less hereditary. It was overthrown by the Abbasid Caliphate (750–1517) and then the Ottoman Caliphate (1362–1924).
The followers of Ali did not like the way things were turning out, and became their own faction within Islam called Shia, or "the followers of Ali". They are strongest today in Iran and Iraq, with populations in other areas. Islam has far more subdivisions than the two you hear on the news, Sunni and Shia, but most are subgroups of one of the big ones.
As the Islamic world grew too large to control, these later caliphates had rival states, claiming that they were the true successors to Muhammad. Also, a number of Emirates, or Islamic monarchies arose, who did not always claim religious authority. Other Islamic states, such as in Africa or Asia, simply ignored the authority of the caliph.
The last caliphate considered to have legitimate authority was the Ottoman Caliphate. When Mustafa Kemal Atatürk founded the Turkish Republic, he wanted a secular state that was not restricted by religious dogma and fundamentalism. He abolished the caliphate, and transferred its powers to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, or Turkish Parliament, and there it resides today. The last caliph was Abdülmecid II (1868-1944) who ruled from November 18 1922 til March 3 1924, and was a mere figurehead. He had preferred his life as an artist.
The true power of the Caliphate was that it was something that could unite all Muslims under one authority. In times of division or strife, in theory everyone had an authority to turn to to make judgements or to rally behind. The closest equivalent Christian institution is the Roman Catholic Church, especially during its domination of Western Europe.
Various groups have tried to reestablish the caliphate, all with only their own authority. Some have tried for a purely spiritual caliphate, ruling no land but uniting all Muslims, whether Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadi, Ibadi, Nation of Islam, or non-denominational. (Yes, there are non-denominational Muslims. See, you did learn something today). There are a number of websites devoted to this idea.
On June 29, 2014 ad-Dawl aah al-Islāmiyah fīl-ʿIrāq wash-Shām, called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, declared a worldwide caliphate with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as caliph. Please note the similarity of his name to the first caliph. This fact is not lost on the Islamic world. His original name is Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim al-Badri.
Islamic State or ad-Dawl al-Islamiyah(now its official name) claims political, spiritual, and military authority over all Muslims worldwide and "We clarify to the Muslims that with this declaration of khilāfah, it is incumbent upon all Muslims to pledge allegiance to the khalīfah Ibrāhīm and support him (may Allah preserve him). The legality of all emirates, groups, states, and organizations, becomes null by the expansion of the khilāfah's authority and arrival of its troops to their areas."
Something like Islamic State is a natural outgrowth of the decade and a half long struggle within Islam. It surprises me that the "experts" were all caught off guard. Islamic State uses an appeal to the "good old days", with a healthy dose of opposition to foreign interventions and a return to religious fundamentalism. At the same time, they are very good at using modern technology, and are masters of manipulating the Western media, since anything they do or say is repeated thousands of times around the world. By declaring themselves in direct opposition to all Muslim governments, they show themselves to be aligned with none of them, and make a very good appeal to the common people disillusioned with strife and their governments. Their marketing and publications are of the highest quality, making them seem "cool" and something idealist people would want to be. Their appeal to "drive out the Crusaders" and military victories bring more converts. They have gained thousands of fighters (many who have to endure long journeys to join them) and even more silent supporters.
The current Islamic State will not survive. It will be defeated in war, and its members killed in battle or slaughtered afterwards. However, this defeat will be a victory for them, as they will survive as an ideal, possibly to rise again in some unknown future, stronger and more determined.
The idea of everyone acting united within one's own religion is not a bad one, and certainly better than the alternative. The 40,000+ denominations of Christendom come immediately to mind. Last time I came home from my mom's house, I listened to a radio preacher spend his entire hour denouncing all other Christian groups as "from Satan." Sigh.
In Islam, the Ummah is a synonym for ummat al-Islamiyah, or the "Community of all Muslims". Muhammad told them "O ye men! Harken unto my words and take ye them to heart! Know ye that every Muslim is a brother unto every other Muslim, and that ye are now one brotherhood." Jesus, called Isa Ibn Maryam in Islam, often said that all men should be brothers. Perhaps they will find khilāfa in their hearts.
It is a lesson we should all learn.

Our art class recently went on an art trip to New York City for a few days. The trip was filled with a plethora of museum visits-my favorite of the week at the Guggenheim showcased the works of the Japanese art collective-The Gutai Group. Out of all the art exhibits I have attended, I felt that the work of the Gutai Group held the most relevance to my own personal work. The idea of rejecting overt content, and looking to the physical matter embodying a piece to form content rather than a pre conceived concept. The Gutai Group's work concentrates heavily on reacting to the artistic context of the time-of post war. An excerpt from the Gutai's manifesto that encompasses the relativity to my own work:
"Yet what is interesting in this respect is the novel beauty to be found in works of art and architecture of the past which have changed their appearance due to the damage of time or destruction by disasters in the course of the centuries. This is described as the beauty of decay, but is it not perhaps that beauty which material assumes when it is freed from artificial make-up and reveals its original characteristics? The fact that the ruins receive us warmly and kindly after all, and that they attract us with their cracks and flaking surfaces, could this not really be a sign of the material taking revenge, having recaptured its original life?…."
And for some of my favorites

the wait is almost over!
I can hardly stand it! In about 2 hours I am heading out to pick up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We drove back from Myrtle Beach today and I spent the car ride rereading The Half Blood Prince just to get in the mood and refresh my memory. When I get home I will probably read the first couple of chapters before I go to bed. I had hoped I could spend all day reading tomorrow but I need to go pick up our dogs from the kennel and meet a friend later on in the morning. Oh well, there is always the afternoon. Good thing dh will be home to feed the kids!

Maximum quality on a tight construction site.
In the heart of Rotterdam we are building a new future proof academic hospital on a tiny construction site. Right next to the hospital that will remain operational during construction. A once in a lifetime opportunity, according to the board of the Erasmus Medical Centre. The design therefore requires the highest standards in functionality, appearance, hygiene, safety and construction. A great challenge for us.
We needed to create space, to be able to the construction at the current location. We therefore adjusted it with small renovations, walkways, we shifted entries and modified directions. Even then, our construction site remains really small. Also because in the middle of the construction site the building will remain operational until its users will relocate.
The current hospital and its close surroundings remain in use during the construction. Which means we have to take– sometimes really frail - patients, the numerous visitors, suppliers, local residents and people passing by into account. We are taking specific measures to prevent any disturbance and nuisance, like soundproofing sheaths around the pile-driving installation, the surveillance of routes and safety and we stay in close consultation with employees and local residents .
Due to the small construction site, we decided to reserve space to store trucks in the Rotterdam harbour area. We can call at the exact moment we need them. The project plan for the new build in itself was already challenging, but became even more challenging because of the several adjustments of the design during construction. The client, for example, added an entire extra building. No problem, we'll make sure we'll complete the project within the original planning.
Project Phase: Completed
Market: Healthcare, education
Client: Erasmus MC
Contractual value: At the start, €450,000,000, after additional work €610,000,000
Contract: Build only
Building time: 2009 - 2017

Browse these pre-made cabinets installers with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Thornton.
Installed countertop and cabinets, faucet and sink. He worked through complications quickly and effectively. Hard worker trustworthy.
My kitchen cabinets were assembled and installed quickly, and they look fantastic.
They redid my kitchen. They put in new cabinets, washer, dryer, Oven/microwave, A warming tray, installed a new window... Installed a kitchen Island....put in a new sink and a pot filler. They were always on time and very professional!
The thing I appreciate most about Daniel is his communication. he responded quickly and thoroughly to all my questions. He and his crew worked diligently and finished our kitchen cabinet installation and it looks wonderful. they even came back after our floors were installed to do the finishing touches. I will definitely use him again and have already asked him for a quote for our tile backsplash. highly recommend!
Nathan did a beautiful job on a variety of projects around our historic home (built in 1905). He made and installed a custom threshold, repaired a broken top on our built-in bench, re-stained our front door to cover some scratches, and planed down a door that wouldn't close. He was on time, friendly, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.
Mike originally came out to install 3 bathroom cabinets. But he did such a great job I asked him to take care of a few other things. Trimming out the fire place, trimming out the new stair way and finishing of the new stairs and matching the stain perfectly. If you need anything Mike not only has a ton of knowledge but is great to work with. I do fix n flips for a living and with how hard it is to find quality work, Mike is someone I can trust and will continue to work with.
Having finished my basement as my art studio, Matty made my garage into an organized beautiful space. He designed the cabinets around all the sports. The best part about working with Matty is his ingenuity. You never have to tell him what to do. He knows what you want and he does it perfectly. He even fixes things that need fixing.
We had an 8' cabinet (two 4 ft sections) that actually fell off our laundry room wall. Charlie rebuilt the cabinets for us and explained that the back of the original cabinets had been plywood and eventually couldn't hold the weight of the contents (which really wasn't that much) and thus caused the cabinets to pull away from the wall. Anyway, Charlie has years of cabinet making experience and explained exactly what needed to be done to rebuild the cabinets, make them stronger and re-install them. He was easy to work with and we are delighted with his finished work. We are happy to recommend him to anyone who needs new cabinets or cabinet repairs.
Mike installed knobs and handles to my kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He did an amazing job. My cabinets look wonderful. The handles and knobs add sophistication to the room. Mike was on time and completed the job in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him again.
I found Jack on Craigslist however from the very first time I met him, his professionalism stood out and I had to contract him. He completes the job ahead of schedule with 100% satisfaction. There was times I had to run errands and left Jack alone at my house for multiple hours with no issues, 100% trustworthy. His prices are great and he will work with your budget. He installed my cabinets, remodeled my bathrooms, installed a TV above the fireplace, installed appliances with plumbing and flooring to include DEMO on all projects. Look no further and hire Jack ASAP! Best of all, always on TIME!!!
Brilliant - I had been trying to fix some cabinets myself and had made complete hash of it, as well as buying a bunch of material I didn't need. Curtis assessed the problem, gave me options based on how much work I wanted to do, obtained the correct materials and fixed the problem. Very efficient; very reasonably priced. I wish I'd gotten hold of him 2 years ago.
In addition to providing a highly competitive bid on our kitchen cabinet assembly/installation project, craftsmanship was excellent and they were very accommodating with a last minute schedule shift. Would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.
Kyle and crew were amazing. A great value and great quality work. We had them finish our garage and paint it. He also installed a new garage door opener for us. No complaints at all.
Matt helped us with a variety of jobs related to our kitchen renovation. We had a very outdated (1940-1950's era) kitchen, and were working to renovate through IKEA. A group associated with IKEA installed new cabinets and countertops, and Matt did literally EVERYTHING else. He performed a difficult demo and prepped our walls for install, and afterwards worked to finish all other aspects of our project- including new tile flooring, cutting for and installing a new sink, and properly installing a microwave/hood combo. These tasks are only a small portion of the total body of work Matt completed however. All told, this was a BIG project for a relatively small kitchen; nonetheless we could not have been more pleased with Matt's craftsmanship, attention to detail, and thoroughness. Matt did not leave anything undone and is clearly passionate about providing the best work possible. Communicating and working with Matt was very easy & straightforward, and there were never any questions about the job being done or the quality of work. Even when we asked Matt do perform additional duties midway through out project, he was flexible in incorporating these additions in. We could not be more happy with our new kitchen and would highly recommend Matt & Big Red Innovations to others (and we will likely be working with him again in the future!).
After I painted my wood stained kitchen cabinets, and replaced the hinges with new ones, I found that my cabinet doors did not close. I tried sanding the edges, but didn't get far. Mike came to the rescue, and finely sawed and rounded the door edges to perfection! He did a better job than I imagined they'd turn out. Mike works quickly, efficiently, keeps the mess to a minimum, and is a perfectionist. He is truly committed to his craft/skill and to my satisfaction of his work.
Jim is very good in kitchen repairs, sink installation. He also is good at electrical repairs, etc...
Uncle Brian and his crew were very responsive and professional. They offered a lot of suggestions on how to reduce costs and improve the long term reliability of the bathrooms. They had great ideas on locations to purchase materials, and did a great job installing. During construction, they found several issues caused by the previous homeowners and the original construction which were all repaired. They were flexible in terms of timing and did their best to have a low impact on our house, cleaning up every night and working with our schedule. We had a few issues, which they came back after the project to resolve at no extra charge. They were always easy to get a hold of and always showed up when they said. We're very happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone. While not the cheapest option, the quality and thoroughness of the work is worth the extra. We completely remodeled two full bathrooms. This included flooring, cabinets, lighting, tub and shower, toilet, and fixtures.
Scott and company were able to remove and replace cabinets in my home, modify my countertop, and allow me to install a larger refrigerator in my kitchen. In addition, I had a bay window that needed to be custom fit. They dealt with both projects quickly and with great professionalism. I will call on them in the future.
Ty is professional and does terrific work. He installed kitchen cabinets, shower doors, vanity, trim and hung doors and more. Everything looks great and he will be my first call for future projects.
We selected H&M Designs for high-end (high quality wood and fine woodworking) custom cabinetry that I would paint/decorative paint. I am a decorative finisher and know the value/quality of competing cabinetry makers. Heather connected with me right away, and fit my need for some design assistance, and the follow up with cad drawings for our review and approval. She was extremely diligent in all steps of the process. We were very clear that quality materials and workmanship were the most critical factors, combined with elegant design. The pricing came in and was very fair for our expectations. Marvin, the cabinet maker, then came out to measure and really analyze the spaces. He delivered the cabinets (2 formal dining room china cabinets with uppers, lowers and inside rollout drawers) within a month. WOW! I am extremely particular, and his work is stunning. He spent a couple of days doing the installation, including applying perfectly-proportioned crown moulding, and although some of our walls are not square, he took this all into consideration upfront, and there is very little caulking around the cabinets to be done. He built the cabinetry to be painted in maple, and the other cabinets are beautiful cherry and will be stained. We are thoroughly pleased. If you are looking for top-notch quality with reasonable pricing (definitely not the most expensive bid) for this type of product, you will be extremely pleased with H&M. I would highly recommend them.
We initially hired Colorado Custom Craftsmen to install new doors, trim (base, door, and sills) on our total home remodel as well as install floor tile. They such a nice job, we ended up having them complete wall tile for our bath and shower surrounds, install our bathroom cabinets, add hardware to our cabinets, and install closet shelves and rods. These guys are wood working perfectionists and take pride in their work. As with many older homes ours had many issues and the guys were always patient and willing to offer a solution to the problem. Our house looks beautiful and we would not hesitate to recommend Colorado Custom Craftsmen. You'll be glad you did!

A truck driver was seriously injured after being run over by his own truck after he apparently failed to set his parking brake before checking underneath his truck.
Rene Ramirez, 41, of Gurnee, IL, sustained a broken leg and other injuries, in the incident that occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13. According to Kenosha County, WI, Sheriff David Beth, Ramirez was injured after making a delivery to Mariani Nursery in the Village of Bristol, WI.
Beth told "Land Line Now" on Tuesday, Aug. 14, that Ramirez "either heard some noise from under the truck while he had been driving or in some other way thought there was a mechanical problem, so he was looking under the truck. It appears that his shirt was maybe pulled under the truck. The truck began to roll so he got caught up under the truck and ultimately the truck came to rest on his legs."
Beth said that one of the Mariani Nursery employees heard Ramirez yelling for help and moved the truck off of his legs.

I had heard through the culinary grapevine that a sparkly, brand spanking new restaurant had recently opened in the old Custom House building in Derry City so of course I had to investigate to see what all the fuss was about.
Derry's latest addition to the dining scene, the Custom House Restaurant and Wine bar occupies the historic three storey premises which date back to 1876 and is actually a listed building. From the outside it looks grand and regal, with the stone work typical of this city keeping good company with its neighbour, the Guildhall, but if you look closely through the windows on the first floor you can see a gleaming new kitchen and sparkling chandeliers. It certainly looks promising, but nothing will prepare you for the interior. Since renovation began in 2008, the owners have obviously spared no expense kitting the entire three storeys out in bold, opulent, plush furnishings, which certainly make a statement – the Custom House is here to stay. The ground floor bar looks like something out of a 1930s cocktail movie, with a contemporary slant. I was half expecting to see Humphrey Bogart propping up the bar in a cloud of smoke. It's definitely got a grand art-deco theme throughout, but the atmosphere is far from stuffy, the Custom House is clear on its intent – this is a fun place, of class, cocktails and good dining.
We were a bit early so we decided to soak up the atmosphere with a quick snifter in the bar, one glass of house Merlot and a draught of Peroni, an Italian beer. It was a nice surprise for the opportunity to try Peroni on draught, I've only ever tasted bottles, but this came in a tall slender pint glass, cold, crisp and refreshing – it tasted like more!
The bar man showed us up to the 1st floor dining room, and I have to say I know Derry natives have a reputation for being very friendly, but the staff at the Custom House were great. Impeccably turned out in white shirts and black aprons, polite and professional, and I loved the fact that ear pieces were being used, obviously management want to run a tight ship. Nice to see a restaurant taking its staffing so seriously, when so many places are let down by a negative staff experience.
The main dining room is an inviting space and continues the luxurious tone, with lots of booths and banquette seating offset with plush carpet, dark bistro wood and retro light fittings. You can't help but be enveloped in good feelings, that are indicative of a good time, as you walk past the well stocked cocktail bar and polished beer taps to your right and the buzz of the kitchen pass on your left. Walking into a dining room like this when it's busy, sets the tone for the evening and I knew as we walked in that is was going to be good. I love it when a restaurant decides to base the dining room around an open kitchen, it shows balls and is a sure sign of a restaurant confident in its offering. It really adds to the evening when you can see the chefs hard at work, being able to survey the theatre of the kitchen creates just the right atmosphere; views out over the River Foyle don't hurt either.
The dining room was a real mix of clientele, families, young and old, couples romancing, Derry dolly birds, people dressed up and people dressed down. The Custom House might look grand and magnificent, but it has a down to earth atmosphere, making you feel very comfortable and in the right frame of mind to enjoy yourself. We got a snug booth just to the right of the pass and there was something very comforting about being in a busy restaurant, but at the same time being hidden away.
Our waiter informed us that a few of the dishes were off, as it was Sunday night and those greedy Derry ones had been chomping their way through the menu with gusto over the course of the weekend! Promising none the less. The menu is well laid out on one page and is easy to read. This is classic bistro fare, with favourites such as cuts of steak, rack of lamb, duck, chicken done a number of ways, pork belly, venison, a good list of fish dishes and a small vegetarian offering. On first read the dishes are uncomplicated, with the chef only using a handful of ingredients to allow the flavour and textures of the meat or fish to really shine through. The food at the Custom House is about bold succulent flavours, quality ingredients and simple delicious combinations.
I went for the pate to start and the grilled hake for main, while Aine went for the salt and chilli squid to start and the rack of lamb with cous cous and tzatziki. We shared a dish of garlic potatoes and a green salad.
The house pate was a parfait, so essentially a very light mousse, that just melted in the mouth, pale pink in colour, outlined with a thin layer of clarified butter. It was one of the lightest, richest pates I've ever tasted, served with a thick slice of toasted walnut bread and fruity chutney flavoured with orange zest that added a nice sharpness to the richness of the pate, although I would have liked a little bit more chutney.
Aine went for the starter of salt and chilli squid, which re-affirmed my taste in a dish that has become common place and can sometimes be a little bland, but not this version. The squid was lightly battered in a thin crispy coating, perfectly fried, tender and not overcooked, served on a bed of pak choi, fried onions and chillis. It was fiery but spice always seems to go well with squid and the bed of vegetables added crunch and texture to the dish. The squid came with three dips on the side, a wasabi mayonnaise, sweet chilli jam and soy sauce laced with more chillis. Out of the three the wasabi mayonnaise was the best, creamy and smooth against the crisp batter with a kick from the wasabi. One dip would probably have been enough.
The pan fried hake was served with orzo pasta, chorizo sausage, peas and carrots. The hake was beautifully fresh, cooked to perfection, thick chunky flakes of fresh fish, seasoned well with a crispy skin. I always think ordering fish is a good way to measure the cooking skills of a kitchen, and the Custom House brigade passed with flying colours. With a nod to the Mediterranean, this dish was full of flavour, the fresh fish went very well with the smoky spice of the chorizo and the sweet peas, with added bite from the grains of orzo pasta. White fish and chorizo is such a great combination as you get the smoky paprika oil from the chorizo coating the fish, ramping up the taste factor. Even the tiny cubes of carrots were cooked perfectly, tender but still retaining bite for added texture.
Aine's lamb was cooked medium as she had asked for, and was full of flavour, very tender, pink and succulent. The roasting juices were deep and rich with flavour and it was good to see the Chef hadn't skimped, there's nothing worse when you don't get enough 'jus.' The cous cous was a welcome addition to aid 'soakage' of all that rich roasting liquor, accompanied with the tzatziki which was cool, smooth, and fresh providing a good contrast to the savoury roasted lamb. The only way to eat this dish was by loading up the fork with a chunk of lamb, topped with some cous cous, a dollop of tzatziki and dredged through the dark roasting juices.
Even the sides of garlic potatoes and green salad were evident that care and attention had gone into them. The potatoes were golden and crispy and the salad was a good combination of peppery rocket leaves and earthy beetroot leaves, red onion sliced so thinly you could see through it, rounds of radish, and laced with a sharp tangy dressing.
Aine was enjoying a glass of Merlot to go with the lamb and I decided to go for a glass of the New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. I seem to be going through a new world Sauvignon Blanc phase and this glass wasn't doing anything to help me break the current trend. It was a delicious glass of wine, fresh, with lots of tropical fruit, mangos and passion fruit and it went so well with the hake. I liked it so much I had a second glass and it was just as good as the first sip. It was a very drinkable wine and I couldn't get enough of all that heady tropical fruit. The name of the producer has been committed to memory and I will endeavour to seek this out on a regular basis – Murray's Road Sauvignon Blanc. What a savage bonk it was!
The portion sizes were just right so at this point we weren't feeling too full up. We decided to soldier on and tempted fate with a quick look at the dessert menu, just a small look, there'll probably be nothing on it we fancy and then bam! out of nowhere, in plain black and white, impossible to resist, we had no choice but to go for the sticky toffee pudding and the apple tart, both served with vanilla ice-cream…anyone would have done the same, I implore any human to say no to a sticky toffee pudding!
We did consider sharing dessert for a split second, but I'm glad we both decided to go the whole nine yards. The sticky toffee pudding was a fine example of light moist warm sponge, topped with a scoop of very good quality vanilla ice-cream, surrounded by a thick pond of buttery toffee sauce – this was about as good as a sticky toffee pudding gets. Aine's apple tart was deceptive as on first glance it didn't look very exciting, the slices of apple were laid on a very thin sheet of puff pastry, and it looked a bit flat, but all concerns subsided when she took her first bite. The tart was full of flavour, sweet sharp apples, dusted with cinnamon and because the pastry was so thin, the tart had a lightness to it. The tart came with a scoop of the same vanilla ice-cream, which excellent quality, creamy and rich flecked with vanilla seeds.
Dessert was the tipping point, I tried to convince my self that I wasn't full up, bit I had to be honest, I was now stuffed as a pike! An espresso and cappuccino were swiftly ordered, which were made using Illy coffee and were delicious, even the coffee was faultless, the espresso held it's crema to the end and the cappuccino was deep and frothy – again evidence that the Custom House is considering every small detail, right down to the very last mouthful of the meal.
All in for six drinks, two starters, two mains, two desserts and two coffees, the bill came to £85.80. The Custom House is worth every penny, when you consider the whole package : the 'uber' plush setting, the impeccable staff, and the top notch bistro food, executed with skill, passion and style. If you want a treat, an occasion, a fun night of cocktails and quality dining, then the Custom House is the place. I will definitely be back in the Custom House and have no doubt that it is well poised to become the beating culinary heart of Derry City.

Forecast: Snow
The White House hopes that bringing in the conservative commentator will smooth the at-times combative relationship between the administration and press corps, which deteriorated during McClellan's tenure.
The "conservative commentator" is Tony Snow, announced this morning as the new press secretary. Why this will help the combative relationship is beyond me.
The problem is not the guy at the podium so much but what it is he's saying (or not saying). From what I've read and heard, the press pool generally liked Scott McClellan as a person, but they were upset at his lack of forthcoming and his inability to provide a straight, honest answer - something that is required of a press secretary when things are going bad.
If Tony will be honest and forthcoming about situations in the White House, then perhaps things will change. But I'm not holding my breath.

Alrighty. So I tried to make a calendar, but I can't figure it out. So instead, I plan on posting every Sunday or Monday with the events for the week ahead. I'll also try to do a post at the beginning of each month with any big events that are coming up.

Revolver Brewing Company Beer Sampling at Lake House Grill (Granbury – map), Noon-5PM (This is a new brewery out of Granbury. I haven't confirmed this, but I do not believe they've obtained all their licenses, so this is could be a free sampling, and it says "Just show up (and be 21)!")

Franconia Brewing Company Brewery Tour, $5 a person, 11AM-1PM

Oh yeah, and check out this interview of Michael Peticolas (Peticolas Brewing Company) by the Beer Betties (I guess one was missing for this episode, bummer Michael!). Look for Part 2 soon.

I have decided that from now on, I will go to sleep around 9:30PM and wake up around 4:30. It will have to be a bit later than 9:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays because of orchestra rehearsals, but at least in can be close. Then I can do math between 5:30 and 7:30. If 9:30 to 4:30 isn't enough sleep, then I can easily extent that range without running a risk of being late to class or even being rushed to get to class on time. Anyway, there's really nothing like doing math in the cold and the dark. I get to my classes before anyone else rather frequently, and I invariably turn off the lights and close the curtains. Of course, it all goes downhill when the next person enters the room, turns on the light, and asks me what I was doing in the dark. I will test this new sleep schedule for the first time today.
Conservative services are back at UCSB Hillel. This pleases me greatly, as I did not like the orthodox services very much.
Differential geometry continues to crawl along like a snail. I don't see how we're going to get close to finishing the textbook within two quarters at this rate. How many times does he have to tell us what a Riemann sum is and what the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is? This is supposed to be an upper-division class. It amazes me how much difference there is between an upper-division class and a graduate class. It should really be much harder. Ryavec told me it would be easy, but I didn't believe him because he tells me lots of things will be easy, and I usually find them really hard.
Today, a boy in my music class and I had an interesting conversation.
He: Are you a performance major?
I: No. I'm a mathematics major.
He: Oh. So you must compose music.
I thought that was a very odd non-sequitur.

I Posted this in another thread, but I believe it needs a thread of its own as there are some important facts here.
This should possibly a Sticky.
1. Using Gin in a Mojito, when you have run out of Rum is not a good idea.
2. Getting someone to take a photo of you topless, at a poker table, sending it to your partner/spouse with the caption "Down to my jocks, buy I've a pair of fives, and I pretty sure they are all bluffing." Does not get a very welcoming response.
3. A DIY Bush Tucker Trial involving: A dry Wheetabix. A raw egg. Some wilted mint leaves. And two cigarette butts is NEVER a good idea for a party game.
I also learnt two interesting facts:
1. My right foot has more rythm than either my hands or my left foot. Play Nintendo Wii just dance with all four controllers, one in each hand and the other two attached to your ankles.
2. The term "Wii Balance Board" is an Oxymoron.

To other it's instinct;
It's natural.
But to me,
It's a performance:
Right hand down your back,
Left hand up your thigh,
I lick you here,
Kiss you there,
You moan,
After years of practice
I've mastered the role;
I am a seasoned sexual performer:
I pull you close,
Part your legs,
Lick you there,
Kiss you here,
You moan,
You almost believe me;
You do believe me.
You melt in my hands,
Begging for more:
More licks,
More kisses,
More passion,
More sex.
But if you look close enough
You'll see past the illusion.
You'll see how I hesitate,
How rigid my movements are as I reach for you.
If you look close enough,
And see past the illusion,
You might think I lack a drive.
You might think I have no passion;
No true passion.
That my hesitation and my rigidness are a sign of disinterest;
Disinterested in you,
In your body,
In this moment,
This beautiful moment.
I am a sexual actor
And my movements may seem methodical
Well calculated
Carefully thought out
And they are
I plan my every move
Track your reaction
And formulate a proper response
And though I may not receive pleasure
for the act itself
I get the biggest joy from seeing you
Enjoy the show.

On his way as a DJ and producer since 2002, Alex Greed is touring through the whole of Germany, playing events like "Club Temptation", "TOMORROW Club" or "Ruhr in Love". After releases & remixes on labels like Tiger Records, Lickin Records or Dance of Toads, the charismatic blonde teamed up with his protegee Fil Alberga, an italian DJ & producer with his roots in Black Music and a huge talent for songwriting. The amazing vocal part and lyrics on the catchy song "I Am Here" come from the talented 20 year old Jay Vallée.
The result combines a beautiful melody, contemporary progressive house sounds and the required power for club- & festival dance floors.
"I Am Here" gets some amazing remix treatments from 120dB label-honcho Chico Chiquita himself, who teamed up with youngster Toby Webster, as well as extremely talented newcomer duo Tom & Dexx, who delivered a big room masterpiece. The third remix comes from Neil Richter, who put a UK garage vibe on it, with a deep bass-line for clubbers & dance music fans.

In a surprising twist, scientists drilling through 2,500 feet or 740 meters of ice in Antarctica have stumbled upon a colony of fish, crustaceans and jellyfish inhabiting the cold and dark recesses of the barren Antarctic sea floor.
Scientists discovered the underwater sea life inhabiting one of the world's most extreme ecosystems by using a submersible camera at nearly 530 miles or 850 kilometers beneath the Ross Ice Shelf.
Slawek Tulaczyk, a glaciologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz and a chief scientist on the drilling project, says that "this is the closest we can get to something like Europa," referring to Jupiter's icy moon.
The scientists are sponsored by the National Science Foundation and are taking part in one of the largest glaciological experiments ever undertaken by the Willans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling Project in Antarctica. Using the same equipment and expertise used in 2013 to reach Lake Whillans in Antarctica, researchers began drilling on January 8 using a specialized hot water drill and came across the life on January 16.
The fish and crustaceans they found thriving in the icy and rocky seafloor turned out to be the farthest south they have even been found with most of the translucent pink fish measuring 8 inches or 20 centimeters long. According to Tulaczyk, the constantly melting ice sheet could have been responsible for the desolate conditions and harshest environments where the under-ice fish were found.
"Forms of life that are sedentary will be stoned to death," Tulaczyk says, referring to his hypothesis that glacial ice can carry dust that is finer than flour or boulders bigger than buses. "The only things that can successfully explore food resources are things that can swim."
The scientists discovered that life at the grounding line is limited to about 33 feet of freedom between the ice and the seafloor, with water temperatures at about 28 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 2 degrees Celsius. The researchers also took samples of both the sediment and seawater, to aid them in their investigation of how the ice shelves of Antarctica are responding to the worldwide rising of ocean temperatures.
"Just by measuring the seawater properties, we will be able to verify the theoretical predictions people have been making for decades now," Tulaczyk says. "I think this will be the reference point for what the conditions are at grounding lines. I'm quite confident that it's not representative of every place, but it establishes a baseline."

Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, have been getting more attention lately than in previous years. With so many processed foods on the market and the huge demand for food in developed countries, GMOs are present in the majority of the foods available to consumers today.
Currently, GMO crops take up about 40 million hectares of farmland throughout the world. GMOs are planted with the main purpose of being resistant to herbicides. This is said to prevent the erosion of soil from mechanical tilling. Initially, GMO crops were intended to be an answer to the weed control problems that farmers often encountered.
However, many groups are not only calling for product labeling mandates, but also for the removal of genetically engineered (GE) ingredients from our food supply. Those in support of the use of GMOs believe that they have few or no harmful effects on humans. Critics believe that GE products have not been thoroughly studied to determine their long term affects on human health and the environment.
Here, we'll examine both sides and learn whether GMOs pose a threat to our already fragile environment.
Cross Pollination
One of the biggest concerns with the use of GMOs is cross pollination, also known as gene flow. The cross pollination of genes occurs when the pollen – and herbicide resistant traits of GMO crops – spread to other plant species. The so-called transgenes may cause resistance in insects or the overgrowth of harmful weeds, both of which present challenges for farmers.
Ecologist Allison Snow, who studies the effects of GMO crops, believes that transgenes will easily move to nearby crops through cross pollination. On the other hand, advocates of GMO crops believe that only closely-related crop species would be affected by cross pollination. Most US crops don't have related species growing nearby, making this an insignificant threat in their view.
Increased Use of Herbicides
Since GMO crops came onto the scene in the mid-90s, the use of one of the most popular herbicides, glyphosate, has been more prevalent than ever before. Farmers currently use about 16 times more glyphosate than they did prior to the introduction of GMO crops.
Not only does this increased use cause health concerns for farmers, it is detrimental to the environment and wildlife. One of the primary victims of this increased herbicide use is the monarch butterfly, whose population has declined drastically due to the excessive spraying of crops.
Proponents of GMO crops assert that the major benefit is that crops are drought resistant, and as a result crop yields are increased. In actuality, GMO crops are designed to resist repeated doses of herbicides. Since these crops are so herbicide-resistant, approximately 527 million pounds of herbicide was used over the first 16 years of these crops' commercial use in the US.
Not only are large quantities of herbicides being used, toxic pesticide use has also increased. This can have negative effects on humans, animals, and the environment.
For example, the toxic pesticide chlorpyrifos is classified as a neurotoxin that has been linked to brain damage in children. The pesticide paraquat has been correlated with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, toxic pesticides like atrazine, a known endocrine disrupter, infiltrate water sources.
GMOs were originally intended to make crops more abundant in order to address growing demand. However, these crops may have caused more problems than anticipated.
The potential long-range effects of GMOs on human health have yet to be identified, and this is one reason product labeling is important to many people. Consumers want all the information in order to make decisions about whether or not they want to ingest foods made with GMOs.
Ecologists hold the position that the government should be more active in regulating GMO crops as well as the practices that have made their use so prevalent in the first place. They also believe government entities should ensure that studies of environmental effects are not biased in favor of GMO seed companies.
As it stands now, much of the USDA's biotech research funds are reserved for risk assessment, rather than case-by-case evaluations of genetically engineered ingredients. In some cases, the risks to human health have been documented, yet GMO crops continue to receive approval.
There are many activist groups that are committed to spreading the word on GMO crops and their potential to interfere with the environment. Consumers interested in learning more should research the stances of these groups, and may also be interested in following scientific news regarding breakthroughs in the efficacy and safety of GMO crops.

I'm starting to think about gifts for my four bridesmaids. My fiance is considering buying his groomsmen good tickets to a concert that they can all go to together. I think that's different and a good gift idea that will certainly be appreciated in his group, but something like that wouldn't work for my girls (they're all very different, and some don't live in the area). Any unique ideas?
Thanks in advance!

John de Boer (University of Tokyo & GLOCOM Platform)
Europe is very confused as to where Japan stands on George Bush Jr.'s plan (or lack there of) for the Middle East. After his meeting with Bush at the G-8 Summit in Canada, Japanese prime minister Koizumi "lauded" Bush's plan as one that demonstrated "leadership, a commitment to engage actively, and vision". Europeans frankly don't know what Koizumi is referring to. From the European perspective, no element of leadership, vision or decisive action can be found in Bush's speech of June 25. In addition to this, Europe is puzzled about Japan's stance (or lack there of) on the demand that Arafat step down. The Japanese foreign ministry has always maintained, like the Europeans, that Arafat is essential to any peace deal in the Middle East. However, ever since the desire to get rid of Arafat was made official by the US, Japan has remained ambiguous on the issue. With Japanese foreign minister, Yoriko Kawaguchi, having just announced her country's desire to get fully involved in the search for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, many in Europe hoped that Japan's contribution would consist of something more than finance and lip service to any US proposal. It was hoped that Japan would offer creative solutions instead of blind support to a disastrous policy. I do not mean to suggest that the Europeans have all the answers, however, when it comes to Bush's latest flop, Europe sees two things much more clearly than the US and Japan. The first is that Bush's latest "vision" has created a "vacuum" in the Middle East. The second is that only the Palestinian people have the right to choose their leaders.
Europeans were thoroughly dismayed by President Bush's latest speech on the Middle East. They criticized the US for inventing a ridiculous concept calling for a "provisional state" in Palestine with no basis at all in international law. Europeans were disappointed by the fact that Bush's speech put the idea of a Middle East conference on the back burner. They insisted that it would create a vacuum because it set no clear timetable for the creation of a Palestinian state and reneged on the fundamental principle that any solution be based on UN resolutions 242 and 338. What Bush said on June 25 effectively aimed to throw out all that had been negotiated and agreed upon as the preconditions of any peace deal since efforts towards conflict resolution began. It did not call for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territory by the IDF, it did not condemn settlement activity and claim their illegality, it did not speak of the right of Palestinian refugees to live in dignity and justice, it side-stepped the issue of Jerusalem and finally it retracted on the commitment to create a sovereign and permanent Palestinian state. Throughout European capitals, Bush's speech was received as one that destroyed any hope of a peaceful settlement in the near future.
Most criticized was the concept of a "provisional state". The Independent's Robert Fisk characterized this US invention as fatalistic. In his article of June 24 he stated, "a provisional state is an innovation no one has ever heard of before. It's a state unrelated to its land or to its people. All other states are permanent. But the Palestinian state will be a stopgap, according to President Bush, and thus its role or existence can be ended in a day or a year if its usefulness comes to an end. It does not need to find territory after all, it is only interim and permanent institutions such as an army (perish the thought), the luxury of independence, or sovereignty, or an economy, or foreign relations will be denied. This will be Israel's luxury". The destruction of the very foundation upon which peace was envisioned has thus, left a vacuum in the Middle East and from the European perceptive has done nothing more than opened the way for further bloodshed, turmoil and destruction.
All are in agreement, however, that the Palestinian Authority is in dire need of reform. This is no new issue, Europe and Japan called for increased transparency back in 1999 when Japan hosted the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee meeting in Tokyo. However, widespread disagreement exists on the idea that Arafat needs to be removed as part of this reform package.
A rare breach was revealed between Britain and the US when prime minister Blair and foreign secretary Straw openly rejected US demands that the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, resign. According to The Guardian, prime minister Blair stated that, "it is up to the Palestinians to choose their own leaders". The Danish prime minister, who will take over the EU's rotating presidency on Monday, also rejected Bush's call emphasizing that, "we will not demand that Arafat or any other leader in the region is removed". France's foreign minister Domminique Galouzeau de Villepin agreed stating that, "only the Palestinians themselves can choose their leaders".
The European rationale behind this principle is threefold: (1) democratic rights and results must be respected; (2) the removal of Arafat may give Islamist extremists an opportunity to rise to power; (3) Arafat is thought to be the only one that could persuade his people to accept difficult concessions for peace. Although, the notion of Islamist extremists rising to power and Arafat's monopoly over the ability to convince his people to accept a peace deal is up for debate, the notion that the results of free and fair elections must be respected is unquestionable in our world today.
Traditionally, Japan stood behind these principles as well. However, as of late, its stance on the matter seems to be wavering. Although, Japanese unease at Bush's demand that Arafat be removed was reported, no clarification was made as to what extent Japan objected to this notion. No public statement has been issued by the foreign ministry as of yet, neither has prime minister Koizumi took a stance on the matter. As a result, from Europe, Japan looks to be supporting everything that Bush said in his speech. From the European perspective, Japan seems to be lauding a disastrous policy. There is room for Japan to play an important role in this conflict, however, this objective will only be met if all parties feel Japan has something more to contribute than money. As it stands today, Europeans are not sure if Japan has more to offer.

currysparadox transcribed this Say That quote. Proving once again that Say That listeners are the best!:
"Being depressed is like being a prisoner of war, and the reason I say that is because you're being lied to all day every day. You're being lied to so much in your own head that at a certain point you can't tell what's true and what's a lie anymore. And one of the things that they do when they have prisoners of war is they just lie to them – every day, they make stuff up, they say they are coming for you, they are not coming for you, the war is over, the war is not over, before long you don't know what's true, what's a fiction, and you're just a mess. Well, depression does the same thing.
One of the things that we need to be able to do is anchor ourselves on the things that are true, whether we feel they are true or not. See, the goal of people who are engaged in a psychological warfare in a wartime setting, is trying to kill all sense of what's real and what's factual and what's true.
And you know what POWs do to fight against that? They do simple things, like marking every day on a piece of wood, so they know what day it is. You wouldn't think it would make a difference – it actually does. If you stop knowing what day it is – it will severely mess with your head, right? Well, it's a similar thing here. We need to know what's real and what's true no matter what, and we need to discipline ourselves to act according to those things, no matter how we feel on a given day.
One of the truths that I promise true and essential and you must cling to no matter how you feel is: "this depression will lift". "This will go away". "This is not the final word in your life". And, in fact, the truth (and if you've struggled with depression before, you know this to be the case) – even you're going to make no changes, this depression is going to life at some point. Now, it's going to come back later if we're not making any changes, but it's going to lift at some point. And that is essential. We MUST cling to that, no matter what. As an act of will. As an act of discipline. "This is true no matter how I feel about it".
The next thing is – "there are things to be done about my situation". That is a truth we must decide as an act of will, as an act of discipline, to cling to no matter what. Because what you and I, the person who asked this question, what we both know is one of the key lies depression whispers in your ear is "It doesn't matter what you do. None of this is going to make any difference, you're just fooling yourself. It's ALWAYS gonna be just like this." And we have to cling, as a matter of will, we have to cling to the fact that there is a way forward, that there are things that we can do that will make a change. Maybe we don't know what those things are, but we have to cling, as an act of will, to the idea that those things exist, and we can find out what they are.
Here's what that means: what it means is we need to go and get some wisdom from people who've been through this stuff before, who know the terrain, and then we need to choose to act on that wisdom whether we feel like it or not. When you're not depressed, you're used to going to people and saying "I've got this situation, what do you think about it?" and they say "Eeh, maybe this, maybe that" and you judge it based on your emotions. "This sounds about right, this doesn't sound as right" and that's the way you're used to living – that's the way everybody lives. When you're depressed, you're trying to do the same thing, except your barometer is broken. So you go to a person, and you say "Here's my situation, what do you think?" and they say "Well, here are 4 things I'd take a look at and act on" and you go "Yeah, I don't think so. None of that sounds right". If you go by your emotions in this moment, nothing will sound like a solution. Nothing will sound like a possibility.
The only thing that will sound good is putting on sweatpants and being in bed and watching Jerry Springsteen reruns for the next 12 hours. That's it! That's the only thing that will sound good. So, it's about deciding, again, as an act of will – not as an emotional thing, and not exactly as a spiritual thing – but as an act of will: "this will lift. There are things I can do about it. I may not know what they are, but I'm going to go find a person who can help me figure out what they are and I'm going to act on what they tell me.
My emotions do not get a vote in this situation. There are things I can do, this person can instruct me on what those things are, I am choosing to commit myself to acting on those things as part of the way forward". If you do that, darling, and I'm sorry you are at where you're at today, but if you do what we're describing here, you will start to see some progress."

Why everyone prefers card games in Gclub games?
Cards were invented by Chinese in 1000 AD and came to Europe and America in the 14th century. This ancient game is considered as one of the most growing game in the world. No other game is famous like these card games. Cards also progressed with time with a lot more games of different types. So, why everyone prefers card games in Gclub games? That question rises in mind of many people. The answer is given below:
- Card Games are fun:
One of the reasons that people prefer card games in casinos and other gambling arenas is that these games are fun. Other games like snooker, billiard and slot machines are not as much fun as cards. These games like blackjack, poker, and solitaire, all are played using cards. That makes card games more interesting than other games.
- Easy to understand:
Unlike other games, card games are easy to figure out than most of the other games. These games can be played by a child if told in the right way. Card games can be played easily more than other games like Chess and Ludo. On Android and iPhones, these games are available in a bunch on Google Play Store and the App Store respectively. You can play these games on phones, Windows PCs, websites, and tablets. These games are readily available everywhere.
- Easy to play:
Just like solitaire, other card games are also easy to play and understand. You just need a person's help for one or no more than two times to understand the process of these games. Cards are also easier to play than chess and other strategy games. So, if you are looking for a competition that is easy to play, choose card games for better understanding and smooth gameplay.
- Easily available:
As the cards were invented 1000 AD back, the game has become a lot more popular. That is why cards are more accessible than any other game in the gaming world. One can play cards anywhere and can purchase from any shop nearby. These cards are more affordable and available in almost any big or medium sized store.
So, these were the reasons that people prefer card games over other games. Another reason that you can count is that people find cards easy to handle and carry that is why they play it more than other games. Also, card games can be played with a group of individuals. So, that is why more people play these games.
