Check out the new Promotional Video I'm launching for The Animal in Man Saga!
At this point, I realized the old one was severely outdated. At this stage of the game it just wasn't good enough. After all the writing, cutting, rewriting, recutting, and of course the finagling, mangling, and beautifying I've done to the story, I know I got something special here for you. It's time to get this project out to a broader audience. Please hit that Share button and help me get the word out!
Ultra-special thanks to Kyle Probst for shooting and compiling all this footage (and somehow making me appear presentable). And as ever, an outlandish heap of thanks to all you Animals out there, my greatest supporters. Some exciting news is forthcoming… (Perhaps with an ACTUAL DATE…?)
Well, it's been a long time coming, but finally I have a progress update for Tantalus Depths.
I've finally finished my first full reworking of the manuscript based on my editor's feedback, and sent it in. I had intended to get this step of the process finished by the end of last year, but clearly these kinds of edits are a lot more challenging than I had assumed they'd be.
All told, though, I'm happy with these edits. I've extensively rewritten several chapters at the beginning and end of the book, but the book very much remains the same story I wanted to tell initially. These changes have helped me make Tantalus Depths a more effective piece of storytelling in the areas that really mattered to me.
At the end of my edits, my manuscript is now about 20,000 words longer than it used to be. Most of that added content was devoted to more fleshed-out worldbuilding, better character development, and better prose in my descriptive imagery. It's longer now, but I believe the added content improves the pacing and flow of the story to such a degree that it will feel like it's become shorter.
I originally wrote Tantalus Depths between 2012 and 2014. Since then, I've honed my writing skills, and I feel confident that this new draft showcases that improvement in my literary abilities. I'm prouder of this book than I've ever been, and I'm thrilled to carry it forward to the next steps.
So, what's next for Tantalus Depths?
Well, now that I've turned it in to my editor, the ball's in his court. It'll be a few weeks before he gets the opportunity to read through my changes and send me back any new feedback he has for me. When that's done, I'll take a look at whatever other changes he feels I still need to make and then make use of that feedback in another draft. We'll keep going back and forth like this until we're both satisfied that the manuscript is as good as it can be. The biggest and most complicated round of edits is done, though, and each step in the development edit process should move faster than the one before it.
Think of the editing process like carving a sculpture out of a wooden log: first you go at it with a chainsaw and remove all the bulky bits you don't want. Then you go at it with a chisel to get it to the precise shape you want it. Then, finally, you go over it with sandpaper to smooth out all the tiniest imperfections. I've just finished my "chainsaw edit."
So what am I doing now that I'm free of Tantalus Depths for the next few weeks?
Well, until my editor finishes reading through it and sends me his notes, there's nothing I can do for Tantalus Depths. I won't be idle while I wait, though. I'm going to jump back into Proteus. My plan had always been to jump back into Proteus as soon as I was done with my Tantalus Depths edits, but I really didn't think it would take me this long to get through with them, and my campaign for Proteus is almost over. So I intend to ask for one more 90-day extension for Proteus. I still need close to 500 orders to hit my full publication goal, so it's going to be a lot of work, but during the time that I am waiting for feedback on Tantalus, I plan to devote myself fully to campaigning for Proteus. I'm determined to get both books the publication treatment they deserve, and to firmly establish myself as an up-and-comer in the writing industry.
So, stay tuned. As soon as I have more news for Tantalus Depths, I'll be sure to let you all know. Meanwhile, I've prepared some exciting resources for my new Proteus campaign, and I think you'll find them pretty interesting.
Hey there friends,
Yesterday was the last day of funding for Arch-Android. As you can easily guess, we've not met our funding goal. To be honest, as excited as I am for this book, I could never find the time and energy to put into the campaign. I've never been comfortable asking people to buy things, especially if I'm going in for seconds, which I felt was the case.
There was also a lot of work to be put into marketing and promoting A God in the Shed along with writing the sequel, Song of the Sandman. All while keeping a nine-to-five job and a somewhat normal life.
Essentially, Arch-Android became the victim of my success and lack of success at the same time. Doing well enough to consume my time, but not quite to the point where I can free myself of the 40 hours a week I spend at my day job.
So what does that mean for Arch-Android?
I can't thank you enough for the support you've provided me. It stings that this very support that many of you have supplied is the reason I'm tied up in other projects to the point where I can't do justice to Arch-Android with a proper campaign. I hope that, if I do come back asking for help again, you'll be willing to give it one more time.

Meet Sarovek. Knight. Monitor. A hunter. A killer. A noble daughter of a powerful house of Corvidia, the kingdom of sky-dwellers. If you've read chapter one of "The Animal in Man" then you know Sarovek leads the attack against the hyena the story's hero Maxan had been shadowing through the streets and alleyways of Crosswall.
"A Corvidian knight in plates of polished armor plunged from the skies. Her legs and lower talons led her way, the tips of her hawk wings trailing high behind her, a long spear gripped tight, angled at the clustered hyenas. She fell like a meteor, inches from where the fox crouched on the walkway, then flapped her wings outward at the last possible instant to break her fall. The blast of air sent immense clouds of dirt rolling away. The knight's spear sank through a hyena's back and deep into the ground, an explosion of blood changed the dirt to mud."
Sarovek is quite the badass. I believe she perfectly embodies the type of book I wanted to write. Her character, her choices, her choices all provide the type of experience I wanted to craft for my readers. I grew up reading action-packed stories of warriors gritting their teeth and swinging swords and narrowly escaping grave dangers with their lives. Sarovek may not be a barbarian, but she's just as ferocious a fighter as Conan. She may not be a drow ranger, but she's just as stoic as Drizzt.
If you haven't heard of "The Animal in Man"... If you haven't had the chance to really dive in and see what makes it so special, then go check it out. Spend a little time in my world.
I have some very, very exciting news to share with everyone coming up in the next update. Stay tuned, My Dear Animals! And as always, thank you for your support and patience!
(Immense thanks to artist Ellinsworth for his amazing sketch of Sarovek! Visit his portfolio for more awesome artwork!)

Thank you so much for publishing this! My gran has been producing sourdough bread For many years! I've in no way had the endurance to do it like she does.

Many thanks for this. I've been having difficulties to help make sourdough in my Zojirushi machine. This method labored great. I added one/four Citric Salts, and this is the best tasting and textured sourdough I've managed.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 35-forty minutes, right until bread is golden brown. Take away from pans and funky on wire racks. I love to brush the bread with butter when it's even now sizzling from your oven for a softer crust.

Fredrick was a brightest boy at school and he always hoped for a chance to into one of the best universities but he didn't know how since they were poor and he knew that his hopes were just those fairy-tale dreams that would never come true said his high school teacher Jennifer. That was the opening statement for Fredrick's high school teacher Jennifer on Fredrick's on memorial mass. Fredrick had no parents as he grew up and studied in the orphanage
Jennifer's speech was followed by the university student's representative speech who said "we are sorry Fredrick because till a while ago you were always unnoticed and unseen. You tried to mingle with us but we all pushed you away, mistreated you and made your life miserable but you never gave up on us till this day. You have became our hero irrespective of all we did and said to you. Your heart was pure all the way even though we made your life miserable and unbearable". Linda had offered to be the one to read the speech because she was one of the immediate beneficiaries of Fredrick's generosity. Linda spent over 30 minutes reading out 10 minute speech on Fredrick's vigil because she was breaking every time to cry. Linda failed to complete the speech and it was given to a police officer to complete it who also read it crying. Fredrick was only 19 when he died.
Fredrick had finally gotten into one of the best universities in the country through a scholarship with the support from his teacher Jennifer and his high school principal. Fredrick was excited and saw it as a beginning to a better life and saw himself becoming a wonderful surgeon and helping very many people. Unfortunately Fredrick never got what he hoped for.
Arriving at the medical section of the university, Fredrick found a highly polarized environment where students on scholarships where greatly mistreated by their fellow students. They often blamed them for coming from poor families and studying off their monies. These other students often bullied their fellows, beat them, denied them access to the dinning halls, libraries and in any other places where these other students were. Fredrick unlike some of his marginalized scholarship friends played it cool and he usually did do whatever the bullies wanted him to do without hesitation. He often said that if this is the price I have to pay for my education, I will gladly pay it. He was made fun of and he was the most liked of all bullied students because he was bright and he was always made to do the bullies course work and other assignments.
This went for a while till one of the bullied students appeared to school with a gun and wired with bombs.His name was William. William was tired of being bullied, mistreated and beaten. Williams dad worked in an ammunition shop so in some way or the other he had access to ammunition.
It was lunch time and almost all the students were in the dining hall, William slowly entered into the dining hall and Fredrick immediately sensed that something was wrong. Bullied students who were often called "LOOSERS" were not allowed to eat at the same time as other students and they often had to wait till the rich kids were done but here was William entering the dining hall completely filled with bullies, Fredrick was their because they dragged him their to fetch their food from the counter and bring it to their seats. On seeing William Fredrick tried to signal William to move out as he was about to be beaten but unfortunately it was too late one of the boys had seen him. As William slowly looked the door behind him, the boy shouted "Looser looser looser looser" the others quickly followed him shouting "fresh meat, fresh meat" as they locked the dining hall to deny campus security access. After locking the doors they sped off towards William but William stood calm and Fredrick failed to understand why William remained calm as over 50 boys were trying to get a piece of him. It was when William drew out a gun and shot 3 of the boys that Fredrick realized that William had come for a bitter revenge. All the students dashed to the doors after hearing the shots and seeing 2 of their friends dead as one was fighting for his life but the doors where tightly locked and no one could open one immediately as they where all panicking.
William shot other 5 students who were panicking at the door killing one immediately. This brought some sanity into these students as he told them to leave the doors and they immediately obeyed him. William made the students to draw all the curtains to the hall and close all the windows so that no one outside would see what was happening inside. William immediately called the cooks and told them to come and get out as he had nothing against them but as they were going out he told them to tell all the campus security and the police to stay a distance away from the building as he was going to blow it with his fellow students inside. He told them that no rescue was necessary as he was going to die with these students. William also gave them a written statement to give to the police. He immediately shut the door tightly after the cooks had gone out.
William then called out for Fredrick. He said "Fredrick please come out from where you are hiding." Fredrick was still hiding under the table. William told Fredrick that he was doing whatever he was doing for people like him who are innocent yet they are constantly accused for something they didn't do and constantly humiliated, bullied, beaten and their lives made hard. William immediately told Fredrick to come and move out. before he could go he bent down to pick up his bag and whispered to one of the boys that when he sees him trying to wrestle the gun out of Williams hands, He should quickly open the back door and lead the rest out.
So Fredrick went and reached to where William was. William was holding Linda and he was pointing the Gun towards her because she was crying loudly. Fredrick told William that Linda wasn't the part of those that bullied them and that all were crying because they were scared. Fredrick tried to talk William out of this all thing but William was determined to see it through. They argued for a bit and William pointed the gun to Fredrick that is when Fredrick calmed down and pretended to do whatever William was proposing. He said okay let me move out but before he left He told William to let Linda go join her friends so that if they are to die they die together. Fredrick pulled Linda away from William and he told her to tell Jacob to be ready to open the door as he was about to make his move on William. Linda rushed to Jacob and gave her the news and then they started to whisper the pending move to the rest of the students.
Fredrick started to move to the door but before William opened for him, he asked William to at least leave him with his Jacket to act as a souvenir, As he was taking off the Jacket that is when the students saw that Williams body was wired with grenades but the pins were still in. Fredrick was a bit stronger than William and he knew that he could wrestle his as he was the only person who could come closer to him. So as he was taking off the Jacket Fredrick wrestled him and immediately shouted " Jacob Now" Jacob got up dashed to the back door opened it and students started to run out. William struggled to fight back and shot Fredrick in the leg and later on in the stomach as he tried to pull away from Fredrick but Fredrick was determined to save as much students as he could. Jacob had ran to the police to come and help save Fredrick too but on seeing the Police entering, William panicked and removed one pin from the grenades and to blow him self up. On seeing this Fredrick tried to out ran the blast but it wasn't possible. The blast caught up with him and also it caught 2 of the police officers.
It was all over 4 students had been killed including Fredrick. 5 students and 2 police officers were injured. It all happened first. The university administration knew of the bullying but it had treated as a trivial matter but it had resulted in the death of 4 students. The town and nation was shocked of the incident. It was the first of it's kind in the town.
Fredrick the unseen boy who was trashed to nothing had became the hero in his death saving over 200 hundred students that where in the dining hall but he wasn't first enough to save himself. Fredrick became the talk of town, prayers were held in favor of him. A street was named to honor him, the university set up a scholarships to honor him. People hailed his name and Parents of the survived students and the students themselves thanked him.
Fredrick the once unseen and unnoticed was now popular in his death. He had given up his dreams, his life to save those that taunted and mistreated him. He had a big heart to help others as he grew up being helped by others.
Jennifer Fredrick's high school teacher closed the memorial speech by thanking Fredrick's big heart for saving those many students without any hesitation no matter how they treated him. The students all were crying regretting the missed chance to say thank you and sorry to Fredrick.

Buzz Break: Chace Crawford is a Confirmed Bachelor
· Chace Crawford has been named People's Hottest Bachelor. It was very kind of Sean Penn to take his name off the ballot.
· Anna Paquin had never owned a pair of shorts before she was cast on True Blood, a show that seeks to remove her from them in every episode.
· Truth be told, I never really "got" the whole Keyboard Cat thing until someone added a little Helen Hunt (and Hall & Oates) to it.
· Ellen Page would like you to listen to her cover of "Don't Stop Believing." You turned down Drag Me to Hell for this, Ellen?
· Sarah Palin did not put in a sympathetic call to Jon Gosselin, says her rep. Too bad, as in the wake of her escapades with Carrie Prejean and David Letterman, I love the idea that Sarah Palin has basically marshaled the entirety of her post-election political influence to talk to people she randomly sees on the tee-vee.

Holy crap there's a ton of soccer going on today. There's that City Pool open swim this afternoon, Black and Blues versus Light Blues in Italy, the Spanish Superclásico rematch a little later (keep your hands close to your body, Leo!), and I suppose some of us will tune in to see if Slinky (err, Klinsy) can wring some more goals out of his domestic protegés when the USMNT faces Panama. It's a footie smorgasbord today.
I'm here to pimp one match you won't find on your TV listings or even under the all-seeing eye of Soccernet. Yes, it's a club friendly and therefore essentially meaningless, but it could be hugely entertaining. I'm of course talking about the Boca Juniors v. River Plate Superclásico. Here's several reasons why you might want to check this out:
1. This "friendly" is never friendly. Ever. Even less now.
This is the first time that these two hated rivals have met since River Plate got relegated. It's also the first time they've met when one of them was in the second division. Despite a 2,000 man police operative in and around the stadium, I can assure you there will be some chaos, regardless of the outcome of the match.
2. The game is being played in Resistencia, Chaco. That's a northern province of Argentina on the border with Paraguay. Boca and River hardly ever come up to Chaco, so the locals are understandably psyched. The atmosphere will be comparable to a regular Superclásico at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires.
3. Boca might lose.
Yes, the newly crowned league champions have a decent chance of losing to a second division club. They lost to Independiente Saturday night thanks to a loltastic OG by Rolando "Skinny" Schiavi (see below). Key players like Juan Román "Bullfighter" Riquelme, strikers Darío "Cvita" Cvitanich and Santiago "Tank" Silva, among others, did not make the trip for various reasons. Oh, and River Plate is coming off a solid win against Racing Club. The match really does look winnable for the underdogs.
Should Boca win, though, expect River fans to spontaneously combust under the intense heat of humiliation. Boca fans have been mercilessly mocking them for six months now. Then they poured salt on the open wound by winning the Apertura title. This match is being played primarily for TV money, but it's also for pride.
4. David Trezeguet. Sure, he's old, but he looked good against Racing and scored a nice goal. He might come off the bench, but he'll be looking to make an impact.
5. Did I mention there will be blood?
So fire up your favorite source of illegitimate soccer streams tonight around 8 Eastern. If this showdown turns sour, it will make the rematch in Mendoza on Sunday all the more epic. It's not too often you can call a preseason club friendly "epic".

So how did GateHouse Media celebrate the one year anniversary of my layoff? Apparently, they deleted my old "Working… With Kids" blog.
Luckily, I backed the entire thing up a year ago out of fear of just that happening. I only looked just now because a friend mentioned she'd tried to find my reaction to Megan getting a credit card invite online and couldn't find it.
Printed, apparently, without fear of copyright violation, because you can't violate something that doesn't exist anymore!
This is Megan. She's 7 years old, sleeps with a stuffed dog named Kate in a big-girl bed that received a Christmas makeover from fairy princess bedding to a comforter bedecked with Crayola purses. She's in the second grade, loves collecting shells at the beach and, if she had a "Total Merrill" Visa card from Merrill Lynch, with unlimited Merrill points, no annual fee and an annual 1.9 percent Introductory Annual Percentage Rate for cash advance checks until December 2008, she says she'd buy our family a mansion, a limo, and, for all her friends, every Webkinz in the world.
You would think that she wouldn't have access to the "unique card experience beyond the expected — Beyond Rewards." You would be wrong. Apparently, my daughter — did I mention she's only 7? We're very proud — has a fantastic credit history. In just the last year, she's received credit card offers from American Express (she qualifies for gold!), Capital One and a stunning number of financial institutions who are all eager to sign up my budding consumer.
Maybe their spy satellites have picked up the bank on her desk, the re-purposed Planters Peanuts jar with the slot cut in top filled with dollars from the tooth fairy and whatever spare change she manages to tickle out of her grandfather. Maybe they got wind that she recently opened an account at the credit union in her school, and she received five whole dollars for that purpose. Maybe they've heard her insightful commentary while watching "Project Runway" and figure, with a taste level that rivals Michael Kors, they should get in on the ground floor and offer funding before her American Girl Doll clothing line really takes off.
The child does not receive any magazines in her name. Even the American Girl catalog comes in my name. Her donations to charity have been limited to the Salvation Army bell ringer and the shamrocks Stop & Shop sells in March to raise money for the Jimmy Fund. Maybe the school's Parent-Teacher Group has been selling off the names from the Octoberfest basket raffle — I thought that playground went up too quickly for mere Boxtops for Education funding.
Merrill Lynch was no help in resolving the mystery. I called them, as I've called every other credit card vendor who has wanted to pimp out my daughter, shortly after opening the offer. Did I mention that she can use the Merrill Points to apply towards a 529 College Savings Plan?
"Hi, my daughter received a credit card application in the mail today…"
"And we can get that out to her immediately, could you read the number as it appears above her name?"
"No. You don't understand. She's 7." ("And three-quarters!" Megan pipes up.)
"Ohhh. We're so sorry about that."
The initial woman had no idea how Megan ended up on their list, and how I could track down the initial entry point, so I asked to speak to her supervisor. He had little to offer as well, although he assured me that a financial institution such as Merrill Lynch would never, NEVER solicit the child again.
Would you believe he then had the gall to pitch me the same exact offer?

My Elephant is Missing
I cannot find my elephant.
He must have run away.
He isn't on the sofa
where he promised he would stay.
I've looked around the living room,
the kitchen and the hall.
My elephant is missing
and I'm not sure who to call.
I'll need to get a bloodhound
who can track him by his scent,
or hire a house detective
to discover where he went.
He isn't in the basement
or the attic or the yard.
You'd think, to find an elephant
would not be quite so hard.
Perhaps I'll make some posters,
and I'll offer a reward.
I'd make it more, but fifty cents
is all I can afford.
If you should see my elephant,
he answers to Jerome.
Please tell him that I miss him
and I wish he'd come back home.
He knows the way. It's up the street
and down our garden path.
And next time I won't warn him
when it's time to take his bath.

Azerbaijan's 2005 Elections: Lost Opportunity, http://snipurl.com/m5ze. An International Crisis Group new briefing. "As with previous elections, Azerbaijan failed to demonstrate commitment to democracy and reform in its 6 November parliamentary vote. Instead, there was fraud nationwide. The international community should make it clear to President Ilham Aliyev that the quality of relations depends on movement toward genuine democracy, and it should continue pressing for a democratic outcome of the 2005 elections. If the government does not continue to take steps to redress election violations, and particularly if it uses violence or arrests against peaceful opposition demonstrators, the following actions should be considered: by the EU, putting on hold its talks with the government about its new Action Plan; by the U.S. and others, initiating a diplomatic embargo on high-level visits; and by the Council of Europe, taking steps toward suspending Azerbaijan's membership."

Central Asia's Second Chance, http://snipurl.com/m5zb (Russian). "A leading authority on Central Asia offers a sweeping review of the region's path from independence to the post-9/11 world. The first decade of independence was disappointing for those who envisioned a straightforward transition from Soviet republics to independent states with market economies and democratic political systems. Leaders excused political failures by pointing to security risks, including the presence of terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. The situation changed dramatically after 9/11: the camps were largely destroyed and the United States introduced a military presence. More importantly, the international community engaged with these states, to give them a "second chance" to address social and economic problems. But neither the aid-givers nor recipients were willing to approach problems in new ways. Now, terrorists groups are once again making their presence felt, and some states may be becoming global security risks. The book explores how the region squandered its second chance and what might happen next."

Nepal's New Alliance: the Mainstream Parties and the Maoists, www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=3810&l=1. Report by the International Crisis Group. "The just announced alliance of Nepal's Maoists and mainstream parties has created a new dynamic. If managed carefully, the resulting process of further talks could strengthen democracy and help address weaknesses in the 1990 multiparty constitution and the parties that have embodied it. The new agreement, though vague on many key points including the rebels' arms, restoration of parliament and the fate of the monarchy, about which there is only agreement to disagree, identifies a possible structure for peace talks – progressing via interim arrangements to a constitutional assembly and disarmament. The parties' willingness to make a deal with the rebels has raise d the stakes. Theirs is only a bilateral process; other crucial players, notably the palace, are excluded. It could prompt a violent backlash if the monarchy feels threatened."

"Developments in Party Communications," by Dr. Pippa Norris, focuses on communication channels parties can use to strengthen their linkages with citizens, and communication policies governments can adopt to improve free and fair party competition.
Reading Russia Right, www.carnegieendowment.org/files/pb42.trenin.FINAL.pdf. A CEIP Policy Brief. "After the fall of Communism, Russia reverted to czarism. But more importantly, Russia embraced capitalism. Although not democratic, Russia is largely free. Property rights are more deeply anchored than they were five years ago, and the once-collectivist society is going private. Indeed, private consumption is the main driver of economic growth. Russia's future now depends heavily on how fast a middle class –a self-identified group with personal stakes in having a law-based government accountable to tax payers– can be created. The West needs to take the long view, stay engaged, and maximize contacts, especially with younger Russians."

During the 2003-2004 academic year, the Ethnicity and Nation-Building program paid particular attention to the correlation between the development of world religions and the process of globalization. The book considers seven major religious trends: Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Islam, Protestantism, Russian Orthodox and paganism.

Why Did the Poorest Countries Fail to Catch Up?, www.carnegieendowment.org/files/CP62.Milanovic.FINAL.pdf. A CEIP paper. "Despite the promises made by globalization, in the last twenty years the world's poorest countries have fallen further behind the rich. In a new Carnegie Paper, Branko Milanovic debunks current development theories that explain why poorer countries have not reaped the rewards of global economic integration. Using statistical analysis, Milanovic finds that the higher likelihood of poor countries to be involved in wars and civil conflicts is the most important determinant for their lack of growth while, surprisingly, the effects of domestic reforms or international lending were minimal."

Killer Eyes.
Favorite nails EVER :)
First apply on all fingers – Chanel 511 Pearl Drop. Afterwards make a round circle, on the middle of all the fingers – Chanel 513 Black Pearl. Then in the middle of this circle (with a very steady hand) – Chanel 461 Blue Satin. Finally make the eyelines and the eyelashes with Chanel Black Liquid Eyeliner. If you want to make the nail polish last even longer, it is also wise to put a transparent layer on top!
Meet my lovely friend Chi (or at least her fingernails). She came home with these nails last week and she has received mixed reviews; I personally love it, however, some of her friends consider it to be "creepy". Oh well! We can't always agree! So how is everybody? Tired? Join the club! Had a lovely weekend? I hope you did! Mine started on friday (as weekend's tend to do!)…

The central government has appointed M A Khan, the registrar of the University of Mumbai, as the new CEO of the Central Haj Committee. By choosing Khan, the government has broken its tradition of appointing a deputy secretary-rank official of the Centre to head the body. The Haj Committee is the nodal agency that regulates the pilgrimage in India.
According to the bilateral agreement between India and Saudi Arabia, 1.70 lakh pilgrims can go for the Haj in 2017. Under the present arrangement, 1.25 lakh will go through the Haj Committee, while 45,000 seats have been earmarked for private operators. Headquartered in Mumbai, the Haj Committee is mandated with looking into the administrative, logistical and day-to-day needs of the pilgrims.
The CEO is appointed for a five-year period and the previous CEO, Ata-ur-Rahman, had been relieved last month. "I have served as registrar at the University of Mumbai and now, I am ready to take on a new responsibility. I will do my best to do justice to the role," Khan said. He has requested the university to relieve him of his duties by July 20. "Since we are in the middle of the Haj season, I have been asked to join at the earliest. I have asked to be released by July 20 so I can join the Committee on July 21," he said.

"Is it too much, my love?"
"No, it is beautiful," she said, "although I cannot gaze too long at the splendor."
"You know that I am coming for you?"
"I know."
"Does he know?" he asked.
"He knows. Even now, his soldiers retreat. The battles are everywhere fierce."
|Is it too much?
"He will die."
"No," she said. "He will not die."
"He will if I have anything to say about it."
"And what of me?" she demanded. "and what I have to say about it?"
"You have eaten the pomegranate, then?"
"Yes. And I relished it."
I heard this said over the water as I squinted my eyes, trying to shield them with my hands. Persephone had a dream, and I overheard the dream. The Wheel of the Year has turned once more. Another revolution gone almost full circle. Again. It needs only the tide of the Ancient Ones now to make it complete. Look to the night skies for the burgeoning moon not quite at her zenith. There you will find the new Wheel.
The ocean sparkled like a million diamonds. The gulls flew by, trumpeting as they went. There is change in the air.

By Bob Constanduros
Late July and it's hard to believe that we are only just about at the half way mark in this year's World Championship. That comes on lap 35 of the 70 lap Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend and at that stage it's highly likely that the Mercedes drivers will still only be separated by one point. And raining or not, we will still be experiencing a very open race with tactics relying on several unknown factors.
For a start, here we once again have a circuit that has been resurfaced. When this happens, you first of all get a dark surface which absorbs heat. Today the track surface temperature is nearing the mid-fifties which will in turn have its effect on the working of the tyres. But there's more to it than just a new surface: it can be an aggressive surface and it will almost certainly be very smooth – which again affects tyre temperatures, degradation and wear, not just in cornering but also traction and braking.
Add to that the new tyre rules which see Pirelli bring three compounds of tyres to each race instead of just two, allowing teams to make their own aggressive tyre choices, particularly as they will usually have to start on the softest compound which earned them a top ten position on the grid. So instead of a two stop strategy as last year, we could see a three stop strategy.
So take this into account: most teams/drivers have opted for just one set of the harder compound of tyres but Force India and Gutierrez have gone for two sets. When it comes to the yellow softs, Ferrari and Gutierrez have gone for just three sets whereas the rest of the field have gone for four or five sets. And for the supersofts, Ferrari have gone for nine sets with everyone else on seven or eight.
So Ferrari have just one set of mediums and three sets of softs; otherwise they are on supersoft tyres which may last just a few laps. I am not saying this is a bad choice – it may turn out to be perfect – but there is a feeling that the Scuderia is desperately gambling as it tries to fulfil the promise that it's shown.
It's reminding me of Monty Python's Piranha Brothers script, in which they set up The Operation protection racket where they threatened to beat up a victim if he paid them protection money. This, they discovered, didn't work, so they set up The Other Operation where they selected another victim and threatened not to beat him up if he didn't pay them. This, too, proved to be a non-starter, so they tried The Other Other Operation where they threatened to beat up the victim if he didn't pay them. This proved to be the turning point. (The skit was based on the violent Kray brothers of the era).
Well, maybe I'm being a bit unkind but Ferrari's latest plan to bring back Ross Brawn smacks of desperation and perhaps The Other Other Operation. Ferrari chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne is rightly cracking the whip and expecting to see results. He's frustrated that he's still not getting them. But it is hard to turn around something that quickly. The solution, according to Monty Python, is clearly to try The Other Operation but it's getting pretty crucial. James Allison, the technical director, we know is a talented guy. He's been at Ferrari before, his father is Air Chief Marshal Sir John Allison who certainly knows how to manage personnel. This would be very far from a Monty Python skit.
But if Mercedes is looking over its shoulder at a close challenger, then it must be looking at Red Bull, not Ferrari. The Red Bull chassis has always been good and that's crucial here at the Hungaroring. It's not a power circuit and Red Bull won here with Daniel Ricciardo a couple of years ago. It is very much a Red Bull-type circuit and with both drivers on form, providing they make the right calls, they should probably be Mercedes biggest challenger.
And what of the championship leaders? There's no doubt that Lewis Hamilton is the man of the moment and there's no doubt that he's the front runner. Nico Rosberg will be more determined than ever to overcome him, but I believe that will be a hard act. Having said that, Lewis's four wins and five poles here make him the driver to beat at this circuit and in a car that is the class of the field – but being reeled in – then he has the best chance.
Of course last year we had a superb race – perhaps an unaccustomed one considering the difficulties of overtaking here, but then again, Jenson Button won from 14th on the grid so it must be possible. There is, however, the chance of rain on Saturday afternoon to disrupt qualifying and even in the race on Sunday, so nothing but nothing is certain. Which is just the way we like it!

Well let me just say that I give family photographers major props. How do they get 5 people to all look at the camera and smile at the same time? (Especially when 3 of the 5 are little people!) I'm going back to taking pictures of dogs and wild life! 🙂
Had fun trying to get a few shots of Zoey at age 9 Months but the normally camera hog was not too happy about it…until we busted out the Cheerios. Girl after my own heart.
Then we attempted to get the whole family. I know they're not what mama was hoping for but I think they're cute and show the kids personalities! Love the whole bunch and will happily try to take their pictures again!

Many industry analysts have a theory that digital transformation will happen rapidly. But I don't believe that. I think it will happen over five to 10 years. While digital adoption grows, we'll see dramatic consolidation in the IT and business process services markets based on the legacy labor arbitrage factory model. A plethora of arbitrage-based service providers remain in the market. In 2018, we'll see that some service providers will be able to transition to digital, but some won't. Those that don't manage to change will consolidate. But I believe we'll even some consolidation among those that make the change to the digital world. We're starting to see early signs of market consolidation in 2017.
I spoke with a colleague recently who asked me if it was as difficult for service providers to make the change years ago from the old operational excellence model to the labor arbitrage model as it is now for the arbitrage-based providers to switch to the digital model.
Indeed, it was. And most companies – including ACS, CSC and EDS, which were market leaders at that time – failed to make the change. Hence, they opened the door for the growth of the Indian service providers that were able to master the change and capture market share. The only two incumbents that succeeded in making the change from the operational model to the labor arbitrage model were Accenture and IBM.
Why were Accenture and IBM more successful in that effort? Because the transformation back then – like digital transformation today – required a fundamental business model change. And that's a huge change. It's like the difference between walking on the earth and walking on the moon. Or the difference between running and swimming. You can be a world-class runner yet not be a world-class swimmer.
Changing the business model requires, for instance, organizing talent in a different structure, a different way of pricing services. For digital models, people and IT need to be priced per team, not priced per skill per person per hour. And the teams need to be located onshore and be persistent – the same team for two years, not a different team every six months as in the arbitrage factory model. This preserves the learning curve gained by the team.
Years ago, EDS understood the components that comprised the switch to the labor arbitrage model, but the firm could not master the business model change. The same phenomenon is happening now in the switch from labor arbitrage to digital.
Service providers struggled about 20 years to transition from the operational excellence model to the labor-arbitrage model. The legacy operational excellence model didn't dissolve overnight, but the growth and new client work went into the labor arbitrage space, the new model. One of the results was the phenomenal growth of the Indian service providers. Another result was pricing pressure on the legacy operational excellence model. The other major result was industry consolidation among the legacy providers; those that failed to make the change ended up consolidating.

Christmas at Nora's
Hal and I decorated Restaurant Nora's garden room for Christmas. We used her own amaryllis flowers and added our wire plant forms filled with pinecones, moss balls and other material. We created a swag for the window box with dried cedar, boxwood, christmas balls and pinecones. It is always a great experience to create an arrangement for this beautiful restaurant. Now we are thinking about springtime and hydrangeas.

Leave It to a Bunch of Lawyers To Take the Fun Out of Nudity
Have you read the Volokh Conspiracy lately? They're all having "fun" talking about this post by Amber Taylor:
So now all the lawyers at Volokh are going into long winded legal and political arguments about the whole issue, and talking about "touching" as if they're five years old.
I thought nudity and arousal were supposed to by fun topics. Leave it to a bunch of lawyers to ruin the mood.

Corporate mindset is right.The NFL wants it both ways: "you can report here(the paper), but you can't report there(the website)".So maybe they should tie web media rights to traditional media rights and make the league decide…if you want to act as media and report yourself, that's fine, but no newspapers or magazines or tv channels are allowed to cover the NFL. Let's see how the league likes that idea.Otherwise, coverage is fair game for all medium of media.Of course, so many media organizations are just greedy corporations themselves. I could see the above scenario happening and the big media would just pay for coverage rights, further consolidating readership, and the media itself, by squeezing out smaller, independent papers who can't afford to show scores or standings.Just thinking out loud. Good post Mr. Crawford.
A fantastic story in today's Boston Globe looks at many of the most important issues in the media's ongoing squabble with major sports entities over Internet reporting.
Here's the crux: Before the Internet, sports organizations and media outlets weren't competitors. The sports teams played the games and ran the teams, the media reported, and things were fairly simple.
Now, however, major sports leagues, and the NCAA, have become media entities themselves. The NFL this year has insituted a policy limiting web sites to just 45 seconds of live video from team practices per day. That limit protects the NFL's own web site, NFL.com, which runs more video.
The problem is this — who is going to cover the New England Patriots more professionally and objectively? The Boston Globe, or the Patriots' own web site?
It's very clear. In one telling quote, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, "News sites are looking at the (NFL) video as a business opportunity. I don't believe it's about news coverage."
That pretty well sums up what happens when people become blind to anything but the corporate mindset.
I'll type this slowly, so Aiello and any who agree with him can get it.
News coverage is our business.
The NFL can't cover itself, period. Same for every other major sports entity. And there are grave questions over outlets who pay rights fees. By that outlay of cash, they have a vested interest in the success of the league, and their objectivity by definition must come into question.
It's an issue that will keep being debated in media circles. College conferences have instituted their own web limits for the coming season.
