P-Noy's SONA
P-Noy's SONA will again fail to trace the rootcauses of the long history of Philippine underdevelopment. It will instead, just like in the past, focus on issues that are symptomatic only of deeper social problems. This, by any measure, is political and intellectual dishonesty.

On sound foreign investment
- Dr. Leonardo Estacio (Anthropology professor) = "Investing on green technologies with non-governmental organizations (NGO) and people's organizations (PO) to protect the environment and alleviate poverty."
- Prof. Fatima Castillo (Political Science professor) = "That which brings real resources, honest in dealings, fair labor practice, transfers environmentally sound technology and pays correct taxes."
- Prof. Roland Simbulan (Development Studies and Public Policy professor) = "A sound foreign investment policy allows only foreign investment in industries where we can really capture their technologies and use it for our own industries. This is the strategic value of a sovereign foreign investment policy."
- Prof. Erle Frayne Argonza (Sociology professor) = "Foreign direct investment or FDI should take primacy over portfolio investments. FDI should be in manufacturing, infrastructure, agriculture and transportation and communications that truly create values more than rentier enterprises like realty and leisure for instance."
- John Forbes (American Chamber of Commerce) = "One that creates jobs, transfers technology, and partners with the Filipino people in their search for a developed and inclusive economy."
- Mike Wooton (Manila Times columnist) = "There are few areas which are open to FDI which would be a sound foreign investment. BPO looks fairly sound but many other opportunities are risk-based which when added to the difficulties of doing business here make them unattractive."
- Dr. Judy Taguiwalo (Community Development and Women Studies professor) = "Foreign investment in non-strategic areas of the economy, with clear technology transfer, regulated by government and only as supplement to economic self-reliance."
- Prof. Jeremy De Jesus (Poverty researcher and Social Research professor) = "Investments on industries that are open to genuine technology transfer, manufacture products with higher value-added, and implement pro-employee labor policies."
- Prof. Danilo Aragon (History professor) = "Investment in any industry of real mutual benefit."
- Dr. Edberto Villegas (Development Studies and Political Economy professor) = "Ang tamang pagnenegosyo ng mga dayuhan sa bansa ay yaong regulado sa usapin ng porsyento ng negosyo, pag-uwi ng tubo sa kanilang bansa (profit repatriation), paggamit ng hilaw na materyales at makataong pagturing sa kanilang manggagawa. Kailangan hanggang 40% ang pamumuhunan nila sa mga 'di vital and strategic industries kagaya ng langis, pagkain at gamot. Kailangan bawal din sila sa public utilities kagaya ng kuryente, tubig at transport. Ang mga public utilities ay kailangan sa kontrol ng gobyerno. Bawal din sila sa sektor ng edukasyon, media, retail trade. Bawal din sila sa pagbubungkal ng kayamanan ng bayan kagaya ng minahan at langis sa Palawan at Sulu Sea. Maari sila sa mga non-vital and non-strategic industries kagaya ng paggawa ng sapatos o laruan. Bawal ang kontraktwalisasyon at diskriminasyon sa mga manggagawa nila. Ang pagtaas ng presyo ng kanilang produkto ay dapat kontrolado kagaya ng sinumang negosyante. Sa banking system na ang 70% ay kailangan kontrolado ng gobyerno. At bawal din silang magmay-ari ng lupa."

God is not responsible for man's troubles!
Is God responsible for our troubles or joys?
Many things in the world perplex us. As hills and valleys, there are huge differences in the life of people. While some are wealthy and lack nothing, many people toil for even a morsel of food. While some live in huge mansions with many servants to attend them at command, there is lot of people living in platform in very pitiable conditions. They co-exist along with dogs and other animals alongside. While there is pleasant climate in certain countries, there is scorching heat in many parts of the world. There is perennial supply of pure water in certain areas of the world. In other parts, even there is scarcity for polluted water. There is harmony in certain homes while in most of the households quarrel and bickering is the norm. Some children get healthy nutritious food in abundance whereas many children in third world countries are deprived even the mother's milk due to poverty. Why there is such a huge difference?
This triggers one pertinent question. DOES GOD DISCRIMINATE? The answer would be big NO. God is compassionate towards all beings. He loves all beings as the bosom of the Heart. He never discriminates some as good and some as bad. Secondly, God never metes out punishment nor heap blessings on any. It is our own deeds which recoil upon us without fail. Yes, Newton's laws on action and reaction are equally applicable in the realm of God. Even while creating this beautiful universe with varieties of species, God has decreed that willful choice exerted by human beings is bound to recoil upon them. For instance if you throw a ball against a wall, the ball is sure to bounce back with equal force. If you hit a table with force, your hand would have received the same hit in equal force. Many people in the Western world believe that our life ends permanently in the death of the people. If that is the case, people who commit heinous sins here can escape with impunity. Also the poor and innocent people who suffer at the hands of the mighty, has to blame only their fate!
What is the opinion of sages and saints, prophets and incarnations on this subject? Sathya Saibaba, a recent incarnation that passed away during April 2011, has clarified this matter in an extensive way. He compares God with a postman who delivers the mails. In India, the mails are delivered at the doorsteps by the postman daily. The postman is unaware of the contents of the mail. His task is to simply deliver the mail to the CORRECT ADDRESSEE. Some receivers exult on reading the mail. Some others become depressed on reading the contents of the mail. The mails may contain good or bad news or simply some information. In a way, God delivers us the results of our deeds in this or in the past births. If we had committed good deeds, the results that accrue will be equally good. On the other hand, if we were engaged in immoral acts or bad deeds, the results are bound to recoil on us on some day. Hence God is always concerned with the correctness of credentials of the person, to whom a particular mail is due. He is never concerned with the contents of the mail. It is our fate to receive the thing.
Many in the world feel that good acts will negate the effects of past sins. NO. It is not like the bank balance! We have to undergo individually the effects of past merits and demerits. Hence in the life of human beings, good and bad periods alternate without fail. It is rare that a man is perfect. We are the mixture of good and evil. If we are one hundred percent perfect, then we will become God! Even in holy persons, there tend to be a minute part of the effects of the past bad deeds. Hence they too undergo sufferings at some time. People wonder why such a saintly person suffers. In this birth, he may be perfect. In the past birth, he might have committed some sin which needs atonement. Hence never imagine that God is the cause for your troubles. In fact, God is keen to deliver you from your sins to take you back in His Divine Kingdom! Hence, never blame god for your troubles or joys! Yes, he neither gives joy nor troubles!
Even if the heat and the cold seasons keep us uncomfortable, they will not kill us, they are meant for our own good. This is because without the snow, what is produced in cold regions cannot and without the scorcing sun, what is produced in tropical climates will not be produced, what a mighty God we serve.?....This hub is beautiful.
While Im not really religious and prefer not using the term 'God' too often. I do agree with the general message your hub's imparting .. .we go through tough times as it makes us grow more and learn from our hardships..

Earnings Per Share and Investment
This content was STOLEN from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the solution, here!
Earnings per share (EPS) is the amount of net income a company earns for every share of stock held (Harrison, et al. 2013). The ratio is determined after paying taxes and dividends to stockholders (QFinance). This ratio is extremely important when comparing two companies because it allows for a direct "apples-to-apples" comparison (Little, n.d.). A high ratio demonstrates a healthy company. Companies can increase their EPS by increasing their net profits or by using leverage. Leverage is the use of borrowed money to increase the return on equity (Harrison, et al. 2013). It's like gambling with someone else's money and hoping to win more than you borrowed. The assumption is that more income will be gained by borrowing than the interest that will be owed on the debt. A company may be willing to use financial leverage to increase their EPS. Steady increases over time also paint a picture of a profitable company. The EPS is an easy calculation to help someone choose investment opportunities, or when comparing two companies, which company is the better investment. Most people are more likely to invest in companies with a track record of steady growth in its EPS (Ready Ratios, n.d.).

We've been busy preparing for the big birthday party (thanks G). This weekend was the annual "baking day" at my sisters house. They made something like 580 cookies. I don't care if I see another cookie for months.

Aurora Borealis
I saw the northern lights for the first time ever last night. At first I thought "man those clouds look funny". I couldn't really see the green color too well with my eyes, but the camera picked it all up. Very Very Cool. Sometimes it pays to live in a small town. I'd have never seen these it the city lights.
Both of these were taken in the soccer field behind our church in Elkhart, IA. I was there dropping Alex off for the Christmas Choir practice.

Catch up
It's always so busy this time of year. I like spending time with loved ones, but I could do without work parties, choral concerts, shopping, and so on. It will be over soon though, and life will become normal again.
I don't have time to write much (choral concert tonight) but want to attach some photos from the past week.

Husband - Father - Homeowner - Provider - Brother - Friend - Individual
I'm sure there are more, I just can't think. They all overlap somewhat. As Mr. Miyagi taught us, balance is essential for a healthy, happy life. It is difficult too.
Thursday I photographed my sister Kym and her three dogs. Kym's relationship with her dogs is one that I haven't been able to completely understand. I just can't comprehend why/how someone can elevate a pet to such importance in their lives. When I think about balance though, I can see it. In my life, I don't have room on my "scale" for pets. Kym does. Kym doesn't have children, she has dogs. Her life has more balance when she can be a caregiver. When I think about it this way, I do understand.
Friday, Angie and I had another date night. We had dinner at the North End Diner (yummy & cheap) and then did a little Christmas shopping. It's always nice to spend time alone with her. I look forward to more and more of this as time passes by.
Saturday, I spent some time with my brother Tom. Of all my siblings, I'd say that I am closest to my brother. Tom and I are always completely honest with each other. I can't say that about most people in my life. Tom has been having a rough go of it in the past couple weeks. Damn women.
I finally finished the new bathroom Sunday. Yes, I'm completely done. This may be the first time ever that I've completely finished a project at home. I usually get very disinterested towards the end of the project and leave just a few minor details unfinished. Not this time. I worked on the trim both Saturday and Sunday and finished it in the bathroom. I still have to finish the laundry room trim though.
That left no more time for the rest. I feel I shortchanged my children this past week. My balance feels off.

The reason?
Every year we go through this. Angie does 95% of the Christmas shopping and I worry, fret over, and question just about every purchase she makes. I don't want to do the shopping and I don't want to pay for it either. I get so stressed when my already tight budget has to absorb the gigantic hit that comes at Christmas time, especially when it comes on one weekend! It's hard for me to understand why Christmas has to cost us so much. Who's jackass idea was it to give out so many gifts? That's not what Christmas is about. It's Jesus, man. We should be giving to those who need it most; not spoiled kids and their spoiled parents. I just wish I could practice what I preach.
On a lighter note: Angie's Aunt Carolyn sent us a beautiful comforter/pillow set. Thank you Carolyn!

Stupid Cattle
It's hard to believe that the long Thanksgiving weekend is already coming to an end. It's been quite enjoyable for sure.
Wednesday night, a few of the Troutslayers and I went out for a couple beers and to see the Tenacious D movie "Pick of Destiny". It was a good time. The movie is not for everyone, but I thought it was hilarious. I will see it again, just to pick up on some of the lines.
Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Everyone wrote a poem and we all read them right before dinner. It always sounds corny before hand, but it's very cool. After dinner we played a few games and had some laughs. This is the stuff that the kids will remember.
Friday was the shopping day. Angie had a list of stuff for me to get at Target when it opened at 6am. I got there about 5:40 and the line was already over 100 yards long and growing quickly. I decided to wait until the store opened and just walk in like usual. That's what I did too, along with a bunch of other folks. I felt bad for about 1/2 of a second when some lady yelled "you ought to be ashamed of yourself". I don't feel comfortable joining the crowd like a bunch of stupid cattle. Screw that. When the store opened, I went in. It was a fucking zoo. I got one thing on my wife's list. That was enough for me. I then went to Staples and waited in line at the cash register for 45 minutes. Karma.
Friday was the annual "Girls shopping weekend". Each year, after Thanksgiving, my wife and sisters get a hotel room somewhere and shop, eat, & talk. So, it was just me & the girls on Friday night. We went to Hickory Park for dinner. I had ribs and they were good. Not as good as Wicker's though.
Saturday was a relaxing day. Abby kept begging to get the Christmas tree and decorations out. Her consistency finally paid off and I got everything out. Now there's a big mess upstairs.
We went to see the Jolly Holiday Lights last night. Tina, George, and Jordan came along for the ride. It was fun to see Madeline so excited that she was clapping. I love that.

E. Viction
Friday, when I picked Alex up after school, one of her friend's mom came up to my car window and started bitching. I'm not going to go into details about what she was bitching about, but I will say that she was VERY immature about it. I wish I would have rolled my eyes at her, because that's how I felt. Then, yesterday, we had a conversation with friends about one of their children. Angie and I feel that these kids' every move is directed by their mother. Parenting is really hard and everyone does it different. However, I think it's important to let them be themselves. Kids will be kids. They have to go through life and experience it for themselves. As Angie said last night, "At least Alex is real". She is and I'm proud of her.
The girls and I just got back from a trip to Iowa City to watch my nephew in a school play. He did great and it was a pretty good play. The girls did good on the way out, but lost their minds on the way back.
It's going to be a short work week. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and and four days off. It's supposed to be warm too.
Wednesday, November 15, 2006
I just finished watching an episode of the Glen Beck show. It was about how the radical islamists use propaganda to teach their children to hate Jews, Christians, and Americans. They showed a clip from a cartoon in which a terrorist had a bunch of grenades strapped around his body. He jumped into a truckload of Israelites and blew himself up. In the same way that we are raised to love each other and to treat each other with kindness, they are raised to hate non-muslims and to be martyrs. It's all they know. How do we stop that?
Sunday, Angie and I finally got to have real date. The first in a very long time. We went to Home Depot for paint samples and then to Applebees. I got a steak and riblet dinner. Bad choice. Don't ever get the riblets. There were way too many small bones. I was constantly picking bones out of the half-chewed food in my mouth. yuck. Next time I'll get the baby back ribs.
Sunday, November 12, 2006
It happens every year. The kids love it, but I despise it (sort of). We had our first snowfall of the season on Friday. I think we got about 2 inches in Cambridge. It was 80 degrees here on Wednesday. Crazy.
Angie showed Madeline how to sew on a button. That's all she wants to do now. She's pretty good at it too.

Bath time
A few months ago our "old" bathroom roof sprung a leak. For the past week or so, the local handy man has been putting a new roof on the bathroom and fixing the ceiling. I elected to hire someone this time because I wanted it done quickly. If I'd have done it, it would have been strung out over several months. That's just how I roll.
Anyway, the "new" bathroom doesn't have a tub, just a shower. With the "old" bathroom under construction, Madeline has had to resort to baths at the sitter's or showers with me. Tonight we decided to give her a bath in the kitchen sink. It worked great and she had fun with it.
It was nice today, in the 60's, so we raked some leaves and Abby torched them.

Trick or Treat
Halloween is my least favorite "holiday". I just don't get it. "It's fun for the kids" is all that I can come up with.
We did the annual pumpkin carving on Sunday. I have to admit that I stole the idea for the pumpkin's face from a friend. It came out ok I guess. Madeline really got into it. She thought it was cool that I let her play with a knife and that she got to stab something. I think it's her mom's east sider coming out in her ;-)
Thanks to Angie, Abby has a great hippie costume this year. Too bad she doesn't know what a hippie is. She won the costume contest at the local community center.

The third annual camp out with the Troutslayers was last weekend. I'm still feeling the effects. I had a lot of fun, as usual, but I went in with the beginnings of a cold and came out with what feels like pneumonia. I went down on Thursday afternoon. It was fairly warm. It was nice on Friday too. Friday night it rained and Saturday it was rainy all day and never over 40 degrees. The cold weather and all of the smoke (many cigars, campfire, ribs in the smoker) put a hurt on my lungs. I'm still coughing up shit. Was it worth it? You bet it was. Cold rainy camping with friends, good food, beer, & cigars beats working any day.
I went down a day early to get some alone time. Damn I needed that. I'd like to do that more often.
I took the day off Monday too. I went to the Apple Orchard/Pumkin Patch with Madeline's preschool class and hung out with her all day. It was great being four for a day. That felt more like vacation than the camping did. I'll try to get a few of the orchard photos posted soon.
Angie wants to go to a costume party at the local bar this Saturday. I'm not looking forward to it at all, but if she wants to go, I must accompany her. I really think I have some sort of social disorder. When I was younger I enjoyed hanging out in crowds and socializing. As I age, I've become more and more withdrawn. I get stressed out when I have to go to parties and socialize. I don't small talk well at all and avoid it as much as I can. For this same reason, I don't take customers to lunch or chat over the fence with my neighbors. Angie thinks I hate people. Maybe I do, but I can't help it.
Alex is addicted to instant messaging. She can sit there for hours and chat with her friends. Well, some time in the past few days, she's picked up a virus through MSN. I think she clicked on something without knowing what it was. A BIG NO NO. The virus is buried deep in the hard drive and may have infected the other two computers we have connected in our home network. Our internet provider told us that some hacker is using our IP address to send out spam. FUCK! Angie is taking two of the computers in to her company's computer guy (move!) today to see what he can do. Alex claims that a few of her friends got infected the same way. I told her no more MSN. She's taking it pretty hard.

What if
Today is Robby's 12th birthday. I often wonder what it would be like to father a son. I'm not sure I'd be cut out for it. Girls are different, harder is some respects, but easier in others. My personality is more suited to living with females. I think God knew that ahead of time.
Is Robby 12 in heaven or still a baby? Maybe there is no age. What's his body look like now? Is it completely rotted away to just the skeleton, or does it take longer than 11 years and 7 months? I guess I'll find out someday. I remember when they buried him. We didn't pay for the big iron vault (is that what they're made from?). They just put his little blue gingham casket into a pine box in the ground.
Every now and then I'll find myself studying a boy that would be Robby's age. Sure are lot's of what if's in life.
The boss asked me today "So you'll be here tomorrow?". I said "Yeah". He said "But not Thursday or Friday right". I said "Monday too". Cool, he thinks I'm off all day Thursday. Fine with me. I'm ready for a few days away. I hope the weather cooperates.

Clean Living
I'm so fucking ready to go camping next weekend. Life is getting to me bigtime and I'm ready to escape it for a while. I wish it was for a week, instead of 3 days, but I'll take it.
Madeline was painting the shower yesterday. Some of the shots turned out a little spooky.

Float Trip
This weekend was the annual river ride with two of my brother-in-laws. I suppose this was the 6th or 7th one, I'm not sure. It was a great time, as usual. For the third year in a row, the weather cooperated nicely. The leaves are a week or two from peak color, but still nice. I'll take the good weather over good leaf color anytime.
The full moon was pretty sweet on Friday night. Frank the phone charger told us it was the "harvest moon". Not sure about that, but it was big and bright and lit up the campground. The above shot is of the campground lit by moonlight. This is a 20 second exposure. I started the exposure when a car was driving through the frame. I wanted the light streaks and it worked pretty good. Click on it for a bigger photo.

Birthday Bash
Abby's 10th birthday was this past Wednesday. Angie's 40th was yesterday. We had a family get together today to celebrate both. It's always nice to get everyone together. I had fun shooting hoops with my brother and my dad.
Angie and I went up to the town bar last night to watch the second half of the Hawkeye game. Abby was at home alone with Madeline, so I left after an hour or so. I woke up at 2:30am to make sure my wife made it home ok. I found her lying on the bathroom floor moaning. She was pretty drunk and regretting it. She never drinks, but everyone wanted to buy her a drink for her birthday. She's still feeling a little green even tonight. I should have snapped a photo of her hugging the toilet, I doubt it will happen again.
Fall is here, and I'm loving it. The trees are changing colors fast. I left the windows open last night and it was 59 degrees in the house. I love it, but all of the females were bitching.

Personal Day
I spent most of the morning driving around and looking at stuff, which is my favorite morning activity. The opening shot here is from this morning's sunrise at Jester Park.
I visited Robby's grave this morning too. I feel guilty for not going out there more often. It's upsetting to find it so covered with crap. Getting the time to clean it up was worth the day of in itself.
It feels like all that I did this past weekend was to care for my children. I took Abby, her friend Lilly, and Madeline to Skate North on Friday night. Abby wanted to go there with Lilly for her birthday. Madeline and I strapped on skates and did one loop on the floor. That was enough for both of us. We were very bored for about two more hours while we waited for Abby & Lilly to be done. Skate parks on Friday nights are full of 9-16 yr olds. Not a fun place for a dad and a four year old. What's with the blinking pacifiers that all of the kids had? Drugs?
Saturday I took Madeline out for a walk on an abandoned beach out at Saylorville. It was nice to get out of the house for a while.
Wednesday, September 20, 2006
Morning Drive
I'm a morning person by far. I love the morning. I'm usually alone, the air is clean, it's quiet, the light is the most intriguing. The worst part is that I have to go to work in the mornings. There are some (most) days when I would like to be able to screw around for a few hours before I have to be anywhere. Today was one of those mornings. The temp was 35 when I left home. The air was still. The light was good. I felt good. Stupid job.

Huge Deck for Entertaining
I went to my sister's house this weekend to assist my nephew in building a deck on the front of their house. It went surprisingly smooth, and only took about 6 or 7 working hours to finish. This was Brandon's (my nephew) first project of this sort. He is a natural at this kind of thing and it was a joy to spend the time with him.
Iowa beat Iowa State yesterday, finally. Iowa's second half adjustments never cease to amaze me. Kirk F is one awesome coach.
We ended the day, yesterday, with the Wickers and Claussens at their campsite. Lots of good food and conversation as usual. It was nice to reap the benefits of camping, without all of the cleanup. Especially since it rained overnight.
Thursday, September 14, 2006
I fell asleep for about 2-1/2 hours and now can't sleep. I hate insomnia. I'll be sleeping like a baby when the alarm goes off in five hours.
Leica is introducing the M8 digital rangefinder tomorrow. I want one bad. Too bad it'll probably cost $5,000. I need to win the lottery, or maybe sell a bunch of photos (hahaha).
Angie is coming home from her trip to England tomorrow. She's at the airport in London right now. I don't envy her for her trip home. What a long day it will be.

Helping Your Child
Helping at Your Child's School
Many opportunities exist for parents who have the time and willingness to help at school. Be sure to check with the school office for key meeting or event dates and times.
- School functions, such as open house, parent/teacher conferences, concerts, and other events are important times for parents to support their child's learning.
- Classroom volunteer opportunities are determined at the school level and coordinated by each child's teacher. If you would like to assist at your child's school or in the classroom, please notify your child's principal or teacher to make arrangements.
- Learning Improvement Team (LIT), with two positions for parent volunteers, the team develops a school improvement plan designed to increase student learning.
- Library/Media Committee requires two parents at each school serve each year. The committee reviews library books and textbooks when concerns are expressed.
- School Generated Funds/Budget Committee helps to determine expenditures for funds generated through fund-raisers and other monies at the school level. One parent serves on the committee in addition to a school administrator, teacher, and student.
- School Safety Committee works to develop and implement a school safety plan. The principal selects at least one parent annually to work with this committee.
- Parenting classes - Many schools offer classes on parenting skills. Call the school office or the Area Service Center for information on available classes.

Want to learn more information? Call your child's teacher, the office staff or principal. Please note: If you want to discuss schoolwork or your child's progress, call and arrange an appointment with the teacher.
Helping your child academically at home
Research shows that students whose parents are engaged in their child's education achieve more. Knowing what is happening at school is one key to helping your child stay on task and focused on success.
Below are a few things you can do with your children on a daily basis that will make a difference in their education:
- Encourage your children to develop a reading habit by reading to or with your children every day. Encourage independent reading and make frequent trips to the library. Provide your child with appropriate reading and writing materials.
- Take an interest in your children's schoolwork and activities by talking about what they are learning, looking at papers brought home from school, and helping with and/or reviewing homework assignments.
- Designate a workplace for your children and identify a specific time for homework to be completed each day.
- Communicate with your child's teacher through notes, phone calls, and visits. Be aware of your child's strengths and weaknesses and ask what role you can play to help your child reach their potential.
- Play games that help your child read and practice basic math facts and computations.
- Explore educational options offered in District schools by knowing the programs and resources developed and implemented to support your child's success at school.
- Discover opportunities for your child's education after high school by accessing Web sites like Go To College Nevada and attending workshops or events that provide essential information on funding and preparing for high education. Be sure to talk with your child about college and careers for after high school. Remember, the earlier you begin talking about college, the better.
- Provide exposure to activities and experiences to broaden their understanding of the work around them. Visit learning places, such as parks, museums, zoos, colleges and universities, and local landmarks with your children.
- Make learning relevant by asking your child to count money, write grocery lists, calculate costs, read menus, read the newspaper, write letters – all activities that require them to use the information they are learning in school.
- Know important dates for your child by monitoring school websites and District calendars.
- Talk to and listen to your child every day!

New Delhi: A section of students and teachers of Jawaharlal Nehru University on Monday condemned the arrest of Hem Mishra, a former student of the varsity, by Maharashtra Police on charges of Maoist links.
Mishra, who was a student of JNU`s Center for Chinese and South East Asian studies, was arrested on Saturday along with two others in Aheri taluka of Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra.
Addressing a press conference here, members of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students` Union (JNUSU) said Mishra was a cultural activist who had been "arbitrarily" arrested by the Maharashtra Police.
JNUSU general secretary Shakeel Anjum said Mishra was physically challenged and was being wrongly projected as a `prominent Naxal courier` to the media by the police.
"We condemn the fictitious and surreptitious arrest of Hem. He is physically challenged and has undergone two major operations in his left hand in the recent past. This is clearly an act of state terror," Anjum said.
Mishra`s brother Deepak, who was also present at the conference, said that he got to know of his arrest yesterday from media reports.
"These are baseless charges. We were concerned as we had been trying to call him for the last three days. His friends told me that they could also not get through him," he said.
K J Mukherji, professor at JNU`s School of Biotechnology, said it was concerning as to how people were being picked by police and labelled as Naxalites.
"It is not just the case that he is our student, we are concerned how the police picks up people. We have high profile cases - like that of Binayak Sen," he said.
Representatives of several student and cultural organisations were present at the press conference.
Mishra, who hails from Almora in Uttarakhand, was arrested with two others for alleged links with ultras after they were found moving in a suspicious manner in Gadchiroli.
According to Gadchiroli police, a micro chip containing some vital information and secret documents allegedly meant to be handed over to senior naxal cadre was found to be in possession from the three arrested.

What is Thought Field Therapy (TFT)?
Thought field therapy, or TFT is a hands on, easy to use therapy that works by tapping the meridian points on various parts of the body in set sequences specific to the problem being treated. It was discovered by Clinical Psychologist Dr Roger Callahan in 1980 and has been found to be so effective that it is now used by Doctors, Therapists and Psychologists all over the world.
How can TFT help me?
TFT works by tapping into the body's energy systems in set sequences which promote physical and psychological healing. It can be used to treat a wide range of problems, either on its own or along side other therapies. Thought Field Therapy has been found to be particularly useful in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression, fears and phobias, OCD, panic attacks, guilt, grief, post traumatic stress disorder, anger problems, addictions (including alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, food, sugar..to name a few) and trauma. In fact it was the treatment of choice adopted by the Chief of Medical Staff in Kosovo for treating war trauma. TFT is also a highly effective drug-free way to reduce chronic pain.
Fast and effective!
One of the major benefits of using Thought Field Therapy is the sheer speed at which it works. It is not unusual to see dramatic relief in clients after just one session from problems they have been battling with for years. Another great thing about TFT is that after having been instructed on how to use this therapy by a practitioner, you will be able to use it on yourself.


text: June 5, 2013 Lines We Love: Delvaux – By Sara Micelotta – Way before the French introduced us to Louis Vuitton trunks and totes, the Belgians opened our eyes to Delvaux. Founded in Brussels more than 180 years ago—during a time when a horse and carriage was the most common form of transportation, and the luggage one carried was as important as the outfit one chose to wear while strolling through the streets of the right-bank—Delvaux is the oldest fine leather luxury goods house in existence. Aside from its sheer experience in the leather industry and ties to the Belgian Royal court (they were the official luggage and handbag supplier in the late 1800's), Delvaux's appeal begins with its superior craftsmanship. Handbags and travel pieces are entirely handmade in the brands ateliers in Belgium and France, which utilize only the most luxurious European calf leathers. If that's not enough to woo you, then consider the brand's dedication to timeless elegance. Despite the unavoidable changes in clients' needs and modes of transportation, Delvaux's designs have been adapted without altering the actual design process. Try to name another brand that can say the same—I dare you! For those of you who aren't easily persuaded to make room in your New York City-sized closet for another classic calfskin bag and have already monopolized any free communal space, including the oven (thank you, Carrie Bradshaw), you'll be sure to make an exception for Delvaux's stunning designs, which are also produced in a number of exotic leathers, including crocodile, python and ostrich. And remember, an investment in a timeless purchase is always worth the splurge.

Dear Pumpkin Pie Cuppycakes Agent Double Oh Seven Bacon Cinnamon Roll,
You could be the one I've been looking for all along in my seven years of constant daydreaming and general feeling of desperation. (I have said the same of my college crush BUT that didn't work out.)
Why do we bump into each other at almost every significant milestone in our lives?
The fact that our birthdays fall on the same date is no accident. We were born to celebrate birthdays together. Yes, you proposed Thai food double celebration once, just you and I, mister. There was one along Ma. Orosa Street. How could I forget. (But what happened to that plan? You should hear me laughing so hard.) We also attended an inter high school writing contest many summers ago and we were even in the same category. Bet you don't remember that at all.
I used to watch you from a distance back in the day. I was a timid high school girl, and you, well, you were the pinup boy that stepped out of teenage magazines, mysterious in demeanor, and almost too cool to touch.
You became an obsession in high school and I felt silly for it because the possibility of you ever looking my way was bleak. There was simply no cracking you up nor simple means to approach you.
What went on a week ago? What came to your mind when you saw me? (Prepare to upchuck.) You actually looked my way. More than once. And while you were at it, I tried with difficulty pretending I did not notice it. Because this is what I do: Go under self preservation and subconsciously raise the walls around me. Even in the face of your invitation for a carefree jaunt by your place, not just last week but a couple of times several months ago. I could tell that was more than platonic, by the way, as I am neither as clueless nor as dense as I appear. (Again, I still wonder what happened to THAT plan. Hahaha.) Contrary to my belief, however, you do remember me as the girl back in your college freshman year.
And you made me tear those walls down. (What the hell am I saying)You made me see you with every tiny gesture and exchange of useless information, funny trivia and painfully familiar , nay, similar stand on things. You came down from that pedestal I put you on. You simply fell from grace, with your every sip of black coffee (I'm beginning to sound creepy. You, Agent Double Oh Seven, are weird still!) and I sat there listening to your thoughts on religion (or the lack of it) and watching your awkward impersonation of James Bond as we drove past traffic lights with Adele blaring from your speakers.
And the rain pouring down hard. (Us saguittarians loooove the rain. Suckers.)
What's a girl to do with the niceties? Haba ng hair ko, noh?
No, I'm not in love with you. But it is nice to realize that somehow circumstances have allowed us to be more than, say, a casual weekend call. Count on me to give you my thoughts on your favorite book. And how about that underground mafia? Congratulations for passing the bar, by the way. I've shook your hands way more than necessary. Aiyeee. (HAHAHAHA.)
Thank you, dagmats.

Paramount Presents: Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's Guess How Much I Love You & I Love My Little Storybook
The beloved childrens' stories Guess How Much I Love You by author Sam McBratney and illustrator Anita Jeram & I Love My Little Storybook by Anita Jeram come to life on The Paramount's stage in Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's delightful adaptation for our youngest audience members and those young at heart. This whimsical menagerie showcases the imaginative blend of evocative music, stunning visual effects and innovative puppetry that have earned Mermaid Theatre international acclaim.
"Guess how much I love you," Little Nutbrown Hare asks Big Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare loves Big Nutbrown Hare as far as he can reach and as high as he can hop. Big Nutbrown Hare loves Little Nutbrown Hare back even more, as far as his long arms can reach and as high as his strong legs can hop. The story continues as the two use larger and larger measures to quantify how much they love each other! For two decades, this timeless story has captured the hearts of children and adults alike. The tale of the Nutbrown Hares competing to measure their love for one another, and Big Nutbrown Hare's heart-warming declaration "I love you to the moon – and back," have helped this story become a way of saying "I love you" all over the world.
In I Love My Little Storybook, an eager bunny lies on the grass and opens his book. Within moments, the story he is reading, created by illustrator Anita Jeram, comes alive in fascinating detail and is an endearing celebration of the joy of reading.

I felt I was doing okay before they reduced my steroids down to 7.5mgs, over the last few weeks I did feel there was something not so right and I developed a cough which I still have so up the Prednisolone again, as you can imagine I have cried since coming home and have now just composed myself to come on to BLF, I have tried so hard to be positive in all this and now I am really frightened, if anyone can help I'll listen.

And I can't find a way to adjust anything in GIGA to compensate. I can't get any SPDIF signal into Performer from the MIA MIDI card in the PC that's running GIGA.

This is a follow on post from Setting up ownCloud on Slackware 14.0 (part 1 - the server) and Setting up ownCloud on Slackware 14.0 (part 2 - the client). If you have completed these first two then you have a fully functional ownCloud install that allows you to synchronise your files across multiple devices.
In this 3rd part I am setting up SSL to allow secured connections using an HTTPS URL.
First thing to do is to get the SSL certificate for use. If you are doing this on a professional site/server you will probably need to purchase an official certificate from a CA (certificate Authority) , but as I am doing this on my own computer I am using a self signed certificate.
These instructions are taken from http://www.apache-ssl.org/#FAQ
Step one - create the key and request:
openssl req -new > new.cert.csr
Step two - remove the passphrase from the key (optional):
openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out new.cert.key
Step three - convert request into signed cert:
openssl x509 -in new.cert.csr -out new.cert.cert -req -signkey new.cert.key -days 365
You now have three certificate files new.cert.key, new.cert.csr and new.cert.cert. These can be placed wherever is appropriate but I placed then in the /etc/httpd/ directory so the path to these is /etc/httpd/new.cert.key and so on, these paths are needed later on when they are added to the webserver configuration.
Once you have the certificates you need to make sure that your webserver can use ssl, this is done by uncommenting the mod_ssl module line in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf by removing the hash at the beginning of the line
#LoadModule ssl_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_ssl.so
to give
LoadModule ssl_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_ssl.so
The server needs to be restarted before changes will take place, I find it is usually a good idea to restart after a single change rather than do a lot of changes this way you can know which change causes errors if any. So restart apache by issuing the command
apachectl restart
If all is well the server will restart without issue, you can check the logs at /var/log/httpd/ to troubleshoot.
Now we need to tell the server where to find our SSL certificates and sedtup the correct port of 443, this is done in the /etc/httpd/extra/https-ssl.conf file.
The Apache-SSL directives that you need to use the resulting cert are SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile directives. Search the httpd-ssl.conf file and edit it to add the paths to your previously made certificates. The required lines are:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/new.cert.cert and
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/new.cert.key
Add these details to the VirtualHost section along with the ServerName, ServerAdmin, error logs etc and turn on the ssl engine, your VirtualHost section should start similar to this (parts removed for clarity)
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
DocumentRoot "/srv/httpd/htdocs"
ServerName 127.0.0.1:443
ServerAdmin your_email_address_here
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/error_log"
TransferLog "/var/log/httpd/access_log"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "/etc/httpd/new.cert.cert"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/httpd/new.cert.key"
This part sets up the server to respond to secure (https) traffic by using the created certificates. Again once this done you need to restart the server as done previously.
If all has gone well you now need to setup the ownCloud client to connect using https. This is done through the client setup as in the previous post (Setting up ownCloud on Slackware 14.0 (part 2 - the client)). Make sure you use https:// in front of the url or you will not be able to access ownCloud (I forgot to change from http to https and it took me a while to work out why my previously working install was no longer working).
- Category: Configuration
This a follow up article to Setting up ownCloud on Slackware 14.0 (part 1 - the server) and a prelude to Setting up ownCloud on Slackware 14.0 (part 3 - Encryption using SSL) although you could setup the SSL/HTTPS on the server before setting up the client.
Once the server is setup and you can login to ownCloud through the web browser the next thing to do is to install the ownCloud client application on any required user machines (there is also an ownCloud app available for use on Windows, MacOS and tablets/phones running Android and IOS). Installing the client application allows for users to sync their data/documents/media across all machines or devices they own.
The clients for Windows, Mac and Linux(CentOS/RHEL, Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian) and the source can be downloaded from owncloud.org/sync-clients.
Because there is not package provided for Slackware we can install the client from source. There are two packages required to build and install the client they are ocsync and mirall. If you are using Slackpkg+ (and you should be!!!) and have alienbobs repositories you can install through slackpkg using:
# slackpkg install ocsync
# slackpkg install mirall
These versions are out of date, ocsync-0.80 and mirall-1.3.0 whereas the latest versions are ocsync-0.90.4 and mirall-1.4.2, but these old version still work fine.
I tried to build the newest sources both changing and using the slackbuilds and using the build instructions but both times it failed with an error (missing a header file) and I haven't had time to investigate more.
Using the client.
The client is accessed by entering owncloud on the command line, this brings up dialogs that allows you to enter the login details for the server and the user credentials and to choose where you want the sync folder to be.
- Category: Configuration
Disclaimer: Most of the information in this post is taken from the ownCloud website (owncloud.org) but is tweaked for use on Slackware since the ownCloud site generally only gives distro specific instructions for Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, openSUSE, ArchLinux, Gentoo and PCLinuxOS.
ownCloud is a Dropbox type application which is entirely under your control, it can be installed on any webserver providing it meets the requirements (ownCloud requirements)
I was talking with a friend who said he was having problems keeping all his devices (2 desktop computers, 2 laptop computers, tablet and 2 phones) in sync as the applications he used only allowed syncing to 2 or 3 devices without paying for extra licences, he uses computers a lot as tools for work but does not have the technical skills (or time) required to deal with any installation/configuration of anything not "click to install". This got me thinking and I remembered reading about ownCloud so I decided to look into this to see if it could help.
My home system is running Slackware 14.0 with Apache and PHP5.
There are two elements to the ownCloud system the server application and the optional ownCloud client installed on the users computer(s). The server application is a single zipped download from the ownCloud website and for a Slackware installation the client application consists of two packages ocsync and mirall (these are discussed and installed in Part 2 - the client)
The Server
The ownCloud server application can be downloaded from the ownCloud website and consists of the PHP files and associated content required to run the application. All that is required to install it is to extract the downloaded files and copy them to the webserver (probably need to do this as root).
$ tar -xjf owncloud-5.0.13.tar.bz2
Change to root and copy to webserver:
# cp -r owncloud/ /var/www/htdocs/
User files are stored under the data directory which does not exist at this point so it needs to be created. (The ownCloud instructions say that the data directory will be automatically created during the post install configuration but when I tried it complained that the data directory did not exist and should be created before continuing.)
# mkdir /var/www/htdocs/owncloud/data
Once this is done you need to change the ownership of the apps, config and data directories to the webserver user, in this case apache.
# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/htdocs/owncloud/apps
# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/htdocs/owncloud/config
# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/htdocs/owncloud/data
This should result in a simliar setup as below for the /var/www/htdocs/ownCloud directory.
.htaccess and AllowOverride
ownCloud uses .htaccessfiles and the mod_rewrite module so these need to be configured since we are using the Apache server. This is done by editing the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf . This is done by making sure that the mod_rewrite module line is uncommented and that the AllowOveride is set to All. Once these changes are done the server needs restarted to allow the changes to take effect
# apachectl restart
Provided there are no error messages you are now ready to do the first configuration through the web browser.
The install is finished by going through the installation setup through your web browser at your_server_IP/owncloud. If this on your local machine it usually is localhost/owncloud
Here you can enter the admin account details and set up the database in use by entering the database user details. Once this is done you can login to your new ownCloud installation and customise the setup and add users etc.
Once you have got this installed and setup using the web interface you can go ahead and install the client for any users. The instructions for this are in the second part here Setting up ownCloud on Slackware 14.0 (part 2 - the client)

British trader Rurik Jutting, 29, was snapped smiling and laughing as he left court this morning, where he is on trial for the brutal murder of two sex workers at his luxury flat in global financial city Hong Kong last month.
Jutting was present for a procedural hearing in front of magistrate Bina Chainrai, where the case was adjourned for two weeks so the accused could be submitted to psychiatric examination to assess his sanity and fitness to enter a plea. He stands accused of double murder, but only spoke to confirm he understood the procedures being put in place for the case.
As he left court he was photographed smiling and laughing while surrounded by police officers. Regardless of the outcome of the investigations into his mental health, it is clear he considered himself to be of unsound mind, or at least under the control of other forces.
After he left his former employment at Merrill Lynch shortly before the murders he called the police to report, he updated his 'out of office' reply on his company email to read: "I am out of the office. Indefinitely. For urgent enquiries, or indeed any enquiries, please contact someone who is not an insane psychopath. For escalation please contact God, though suspect the devil will have custody (Last line only really worked if I had followed through)."
Two weeks ago, having quit his job at the Bank of America Jutting lost his licences to trade in Hong Kong, and this is when the killings are believed to have began, although it is presently unknown if the two events are directly linked. On the 27th of October, his Hong Kong Monetary Authority securities advisory licence expired and he, it is alleged, murdered Sumarti Ningsih, 25.
The same day he updated his Facebook status to say: "Stepping down from the ledge. Burden lifted; new journey begins. Scared and anxious but also excited. The first step is always the hardest", reports The Guardian.
He continued to appear superficially happy to the outside world in the remainder of the week, again updating his Facebook at the time of the second murder to say "Money DOES buy happiness", and "Is 29 the perfect age? I feel more secure, I'm a better friend and I know my limitations. No wonder 29-year-olds are the most popular age group". Jutting and his victim that day were both 29 years old.
Police discovered 29 year-old Seneng Mujiasih in Jutting's apartment after he called the emergency services to his own home. They discovered her naked with knife wounds to her neck and back, and although still alive died shortly afterwards. The body of Ningsih was discovered hours later in a suitcase. Both women are reported to be Philippine sex workers but this has yet to be officially confirmed.
Jutting will next appear in court on November 24th.

Keeping Your Macintosh System Safe
If you are anything like me, than it is always good to hear new tips and ideas for keeping your Macintosh system in superb condition. If you have a Mac that is slowing down, less responsive and inadequately performing, then quite understandably, a great sense of you would get notions of switching it as fast as possible. Before you do though, you may want to hold on a little longer or at least until after you have browsed through this informative little article.
A number of recommendations given in this posting could be of great use for you. Perhaps you will be in a position to locate a beneficial bit of information that will help you put your system back on the fast track working zipping right along like the first day you brought it home.
