You know the one.
That awful one that just happened.
It all went down like this.
One or more young Muslim males killed some people while shouting Allahu' Akbar.
The authorities pretended to be puzzled at this, as if such a thing had never before happened. Police went "searching for motives." Oscar-worthy performances of utter cluelessness were delivered in a great production the Bear calls, "The West Rolls Over and Shows Its Belly."
Every Social Justice Warrior from Archbishops on down to first year fine arts majors buffed their tolerance cred by making up excuses for the poor Jihad Joe, like he was "biopolar," or abused by a Catholic priest as a lad, or something equally implausible.
And everyone lectured us on how great Islam is, and what a beautiful people Muslims are, and how, by, golly, they're practically Catholics cuz OMG3greatabrahamicreligionssamegod, and how Islam is peaceful.
The word "backlash" was shrieked like an ululating Mahdist woman cutting choice parts from one of Kipling's Tommies in the Sudan.
The young Muslim male did it for any reason except Islam (delicious to those of us with a sensitive palate for irony).
Other people saw it in their Facebook feed, or on the news, and were upset until shortly before bedtime. The next day there was some other damned thing and they forgot. They're all named Mohammed, anyway, so there's no way to even keep score. Neil Postman's wonderful Amusing Ourselves to Death's low information-action ratio is the iron law of our media age.
Or, to put it another way, everybody talks about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it. Terrorism has become a part of the cultural weather, and is treated just the same.
Loud noises and cries of "Allahu' Akbar" provide the soundtrack to the 21st century. Or, rather, elevator music, since it is such a tedious sameness it is just fading into the background. Terrorist attacks are like plane crashes, or lightning strikes, or, for that matter Bear attacks. Sure, they happen, but actuarially, I'm safe enough. Only the really, really, unlucky get killed by a terrorist.
It's true. No one reading this will ever be killed by a terrorist, or lose someone close to a terrorist, the Bear is certain.
The terrorists have already lost. They don't terrify anymore. Frankly, if an old show-Bear might turn critic, their act is stale. The West is more embarrassed on Islam's behalf than frightened by it. That's why all the cultural spokesman are so hilariously condescending to Muslims.
Archbishop Cupich is like a good mommy telling little Johnny it's not polite to stare at the tattered greybeard pushing a shopping cart full of his stuff down the sidewalk while shouting verses from Isaiah.
But let's completely forget Muslims and talk about something much more interesting. Bears.
If the Bear should go on a rampage through Peoria, Illinois, and take out twenty or thirty people roaring BEAR RIGHTS, nobody better start making some lame-ass excuse for his attack. The Bear, is after all, no matter how cute and cuddly he may seem, an alpha predator God designed for killing everything. Not that he currently has any plans, but a Bear is a Bear, and everyone knows what Bears occasionally do.
Seriously. Hang around enough Bears and one day you will run into the wrong one. Or the right one on a bad day. Greenpeacers can coo about the Poor Polar Bears not having any ice to live on, but if they actually met a polar Bear (who are very stupid and overrated animals, or else they would not live on ice) they would see adorbs; the polar Bear would see a seal.
If the Bear roars BEAR RIGHTS when he's killing people, that's what it's all about. And he will personally hunt you down and rip your jawbone off, Sunshine, if you ruin his big political statement by making it about something else. This is not hard. If you're going out in blaze of glorious murder, you don't, at the last second say: "wait, this should be significant... I should probably yell something, like, oh, I dunno... ZEPPELIN RULES!"
You may have heard of Timothy Treadwell. He thought he had Bears all figured out. That they accepted him. And, for a while, it looked like he might be right. His girlfriend, who was a smart woman, was afraid of Bears, yet nonetheless Treadwell dragged her to Alaska to play with his Bear friends. One Bear was wandering down the Bear path in Bearland and came to the Big Crossroads. Right there, at X marks the spot, humans had pitched their tent, so, you know, they could encounter Bears. The Bear killed Treadwell and his girlfriend.
The Bear does not feel obligated to blabber on about how Bears are animals of peace, or warn about a Bear "backlash." Treadwell was an idiot, and the Bear did what Bears do. Not all Bears, obviously. But here is an important point:
The more Bears you are around, the greater chances of being killed by a Bear. (There is actually a mathematical proof Bears worked out long ago, but it is complex, and Bear math involves stones and acorns.)
Some people have said it is only Bears with a particular kind of Bear Rabies who kill. Not ordinary peaceful adorbs Bears. There may be some truth to this. For instance, the Bear would probably never kill anyone, anymore, even on a very bad day. We already established not every Bear will kill you. But here's another important truth.
A smart person does not invite a Bear to live with his family just to prove how brave he is, or how tolerant of other species he is, or even because they are useful as entertainment. He doesn't keep packing his ursine guests into every room, ignoring the snarls from some of them. Eventually, he and his family will wind up as gnawed-on remains shallowly buried in the compost pile out back.
And people will say the same thing they say about Timothy Treadwell.
So, as a professional Bear, the Bear advises you that if you have stuffed your home with mostly peaceful-looking Bears, you are an idiot, and your children should be taken away by the state. Not only are Bears freeloaders, but they, and only they, are subject to Bear Rabies. One of your guests might come come down with Bear Rabies and start taping BEAR RIGHTS posters up all over the place (one of the first symptoms). And since we already know you are an idiot, you will politely look the other way.
And when you don't show up for work, the gnawed-on remains of you and your family will be found shallowly buried in the compost pile out back.
And the funny thing will be, nobody will care about you. The Bear, on the other hand, will be subjected to endless and condescending excuse-making. Archbishop Cupich will say he was a "mentally unstable" Bear, and Pope Francis will apologize for Pope Emeritus Benedict or some other German murdering Bruno in 2006. President Obama will say guns should be banned, because Bears hate guns and become enraged.
Even if they attribute the attack to Bear Rabies, they will explain that the Bear couldn't help it. It's a virus, in the air, in the water. Any poor old Bear can get it. Most Bears are peaceful. Now. Don't you feel so much better knowing that any Bear, and only Bears, can unpredictably contract a disease that will turn it into a homicidal maniac?
Bears are not all that territorial. But if an animal moved into their territory, and some of them kept talking about how they hated Bears and were going to kill all of them, the Bears would hold a council in the Big Clearing in those woodlands. And they would say, "This new animal is a danger. Individually, most of them are tolerable. But they and only they have elements who advertise wiping out Bears, and they and only they occasionally kill one, or a few of us. Brother Bears, what should we do?"
The Bear does not say. Bears have their own ways of dealing with things, and the less humans know about them the better. Bears will prosper after Islam takes over the world, and eventually humans degenerate back to the Paleolithic era when Bears were worshipped as gods.
After 1300 years, and still ticking, the Bear will probably live to see it. You won't, nor will you see anything very bad, as things go. Perhaps not even your children or grandchildren. So don't worry.
The Bear loves you crazy humans, but if you don't care about your territory, don't breed, don't value Human Lore from ages past, there's not going to be much left to mourn when your civilization dies, and the sight of a beautiful woman in public is the stuff of legends, and the only book in print is the Quran.
Frankly, the West doesn't deserve to win. Islam is the only society that gives damn about their beliefs. The Bear predicts the West forfeits. It just never showed up for the game. And the Bear shall yell Allahu' Akbar while riding his unicycle and Muslims will love him and throw him salmon and the world will burn with a bright insanity you cannot imagine.

Talk:Proposed features/All you can eat
I suggest to explicitly give the list of possible service type for all_you_can_eat, and I prefer to avoid using swedish or brazilian language (I don't even have å on my keyboard !). I don't know what Rodízio mean, but with the wikipedia link, I'd say this exists where I live.
Suggestions :
- all_you_can_eat:type=buffet
- all_you_can_eat:type=conveyor_belt
- all_you_can_eat:type=table_service : food is brought to you when you request it or when the waiter sees your plate is empty
Isn't a Smörgåsbord equivalent to a buffet ?
For the other tags, I see this proposal good as it is. sletuffe (talk) 18:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I agree I should provide more possible values for the list of serving systems (and try to document them better), however I still want to keep it as an open set, since I don't think I can enumerate all possible values.
- Also, I am going to remove all_you_can_eat:type, and create a new tag named serving_system
- Since people insist, I think I am going to remove the diacritics from rodízio and smörgåsbord, but I can't say I'm happy to do this, because it feels like going back to the 90's where we only had ASCII.
- I can't say for sure if smörgåsbord is different than a buffet, but as far as I understood the difference is: buffet usually uses a special kind of table that keeps food warm(with hot water below the food), while a smörgåsbord does not(it uses a plain table).--Jgpacker (talk) 20:35, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Modern life within a characterised culture
Located in East Asia, China is one of the oldest countries in the world and has a significant distribution to the human race in many aspects. Currently, it is the most populated country with a population of over 1.35 million. Also, in the past eight years, this "Asian Dragon" has the one of the highest economy growth rates in the world, approximately 7.5 % annually. It is believed to be able to exceed the U.S. economy in the near future.
In 2012, more than 320,000 international students came to China to study in its' universities and colleges. In the past few years, this number has kept growing steadily, making it one of the most popular destinations for those seeking a higher education abroad.
The first and the foremost reason that students head to China is so that they will have a chance to experience one of the most exciting and mysterious countries in the world. Besides its well known education, it is also famous among international students for its' diversity in its' characterised culture by morning, and its' exciting and modern life by night. For those who love travelling during their free time, China could be the destination of their dreams since they do not need to travel too far away in order to recognise the ancient cultural spirit as well as some of the modern buildings around everywhere they go!
When compared to other European or other Asian countries, living expenses in China are far more affordable than average. For example, the tuition fees are only around 1000 US dollars per semester.
Explore universities in China!
Following the rise of the Chinese economy, many international corporations have their headquarters in the Chinese region, creating a need for a steady flow of qualified employees, giving international students a significant amount of opportunities for employment.
Chinese universities recommended by Study Advisory
Shanghai University offers more than 90 Master's and Doctoral degree programs taught in English, and many more in Mandarin. Facilities include basketball courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and there are more than 100 student societies that cover different fields, arranging events and activities frequently. Degrees can be found in the fields of engineering, management sciences, literature, public affairs etc. Link to the university's own website
Guangzhou University has an impressive number of 69 undergraduate programs and 27 master programs in eight fields of study, including Literature, Science, Engineering, Economics, Management, Law, Education and History. Currently, the Guangzhou University is concentrating on actively conducting various national and provincial research programs, and concentrating on contributing to society through volunteering and student activities ranging from classing Chinese reading to debate groups.
Beijing University is 17th and Fudan University is 37th on the Global Employability ranking by Emerging Trendence, a European specialist of employability rankings.
Top 3 reasons to study in China:
- Qualified and globally recognised education system.
- Open opportunities to explore ancient architecture and spectacular cultural experiences.
- Affordable living expenses.
Did you know this about China?
- China has more English speakers than the United States.
- One fifth of the world's population is Chinese.
- China has the right to own all Pandas in the world. So if you see any pandas at your local zoo, basically you can call them Chinese!

This class action was filed in 2007 by direct purchasers of LCD panels and related products in the United States.
Toshiba has consistently maintained that there was no illegal activity on its part in the LCD business in the United States, and Toshiba continues to hold that view. While Toshiba appreciates the jury's time and effort, Toshiba believes that the jury's verdict is in error as to the finding of wrongdoing on Toshiba's part. Toshiba plans to pursue all available legal avenues to correct that finding.
At this time, Toshiba does not plan to revise projections for fiscal 2012 business performance due to this matter.

Earlier in the year i went to the 'Club To Catwalk' Exhibition with a friend whilst we were at the 'Fashion Festival' blogged here.....http://laurajadejackson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/fashion-festival-v-museum.html
This exhibition gives you the chance to discover the creative explosion of London fashion in the 1980s in a major exhibition at the V&A. Through more than 85 outfits, Club to Catwalk: London Fashion in the 1980s showcases the bold and exciting new looks by the most experimental young designers of the decade, including Betty Jackson, Katharine Hamnett, Wendy Dagworthy and John Galliano. This exhibition was on from 10th July 2013 - 16th February 2014.
The exhibition traces the emerging theatricality in British fashion as the capital's vibrant and eclectic club scene influenced a new generation of designers. Also celebrating iconic styles such as New Romantic and High Camp, and featuring outfits worn by Adam Ant and Leigh Bowery, the exhibition explores how the creative relationship between catwalk and club wear helped reinvent fashion, as reflected in magazines such as i-D and Blitz and venues including Heaven and Taboo.
The '80s saw the explosion of the London club scene. Specialist club 'nights' offered opportunities for dressing up in the company of a like-minded crowd. Stevie Stewart of BodyMap explained that 'each group of people, whether they were fashion designers, musicians or dancers, filmmakers, living together and going out together had a passion for creating something new that was almost infectious'.
In the early '80s, London fashion began to create a stir internationally. Fashion shows took place in New York and Japan. One breakthrough event, titled 'London Goes to Tokyo', included many of the designers featured here and in the upstairs gallery.
The inventiveness of London design owed much to the excellence of the city's arts education. Colleges such as St Martin's, the Royal College of Art and Hornsey College of Art offered advanced training in the fundamentals of fashion design, while also encouraging individuality.
At night, young designers' imaginations were sparked by a vibrant London club scene. John Galliano recalled, 'Thursday and Friday at St Martin's, the college was almost deserted. Everybody was at home working on their costumes for the weekend'. Designer Georgina Godley remembers, 'Young London was all about taking risks and creating something out of nothing through passion and ambition'.
Overall, it was a great exhibition full of fashion from many eras. My friend and I really enjoyed it, I think one of the great things about living in London is all the things going on, you can never say "there's nothing to do", there's always something. I'm not a regular museum goer, but when there's something fashion related on, they're usually great and I always come out having really enjoyed myself and learning new things, which is always a plus!
So if you're in London, keep a look out for any up and coming fashion exhibitions, they're always worth a visit and if you're a student you can usually get a discount too!
Thanks for reading.

Deeply intertwined in Joan Didion's experience and personal relationship with the screen was a list of apprehensions. Working alongside her husband, John Gregory Dunne, the pair would collaborate on a variety of screenplays most of which would be pried from their hands – rebuilt and reworked to satisfy the egos of producers, directors and studio heads. Writers deal in "shit", said Dunne as he travails his complicated relationship with cinema in his essay 'Gone Hollywood' from 1976.
Joan Didion grew up in Sacramento, the civic capital of California that lay in the Northern part of the State in the Central Valley where the American and Sacramento River meet. "Anybody who talks about California hedonism," she said in a profile for the New York Times in 1979, "has never spent a Christmas in Sacramento." Her childhood was worlds away from the imagination land of Hollywood, and when she finally moved to Los Angeles with her husband John Gregory Dunne, the sparkle and glamour of the film business must have seemed alien. Doubt hangs over her writing about the industry, and as David Thomson writes in an introduction to Play It as it Lays, Didion not unlike Maria, her solemn protagonist, is torn as to "Whether this novel is a sour kiss-off or an acid love letter."
The industry of entertainment is at the heart of many of Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne's screenplays. Put aside their first collaboration, Panic in Needle Park which depicts heroin addicts in New York City, and the rest of their films are deeply embedded in the fantasy world of Los Angeles. Even the story of their most troubled screenplay, their 1976 adaptation of A Star is Born, while ostensibly about music depicts the glamour and ruthlessness of the Hollywood system. Listen to Karina Longworth's 'You Must Remember This' podcast episode on the making of the film – which poetically evokes the troubled behind the scenes reworkings of the film: The story of the battling egos and raging insecurities far more compelling and tragic than the final film.
Few screenplays they worked on could even be called their own and while the industry in the 1970s was a far cry from the maniacal factory work of the studio system, writers were expendable. Exceptionally, the pairs work to adapt Joan Didion's novel Play It As It Lays, made in close collaboration with director Frank Perry, stood apart as a film infused with the authorial voice of the writer. The film, like the novel, depicts the day to day life of actress Maria who is increasingly estranged from her director husband Carter. Plagued by guilt over the hospitalization of her young daughter and a subsequent abortion, Maria seeks mental escape from the artifice of her Los Angeles life.
In 'The Last Love Song', Tracy Daugherty's biography of Joan Didion, Tracy explains how the wandering spirit of the book was translated into the script – in part because of Didion's dedication to translating thoughts and ellipsis' into images:
Didion was fascinated with film editing – "cutting," she called it. The white spaces, the gaps, in the novel became quick cuts in the film, fragments of Maria's life repeated out of sequence. In particular, her abortion haunts her: bloody images, memories of the doctor's gloved hands, these flit through her mind and across the screen when she and the viewer least expect them (326).
Didion's script was only ever printed in a short 1972 anthology that is difficult to acquire. Writing about it in 2015, David L. Ulin for the LA Times remarked in 2015 how closely the final product resembles Didion and Dunne's script. The disjointed edits that define the tone and look of the film often present in her writing. Revisiting the iconic illegal abortion sequence which prevails spiritually over the film, the script reads: "SIX FAST CUTS INSIDE THE HOUSE, "the DOCTOR'S line jacket," "a chrome kitchen garbage container," "a faucet being turned on." The final product is defined by these cuts, and through visual and audio queues, these and other images are interspersed throughout the rest of the film – haunting Maria.
Large elements of the novel are used as a voice over, lifted almost word for word. This introspection works remarkably well, becoming an ironic antithesis to the first person narratives of film noir detectives that exceptionally have used Los Angeles "as it is". Compared to Philip Marlowe though, the voice overs here are often menial and focused on moods and emotions rather than driving action. In capturing the spirit of the novel, the film wanders aimlessly, echoing Maria's numb resignation.
Highways and driving become a central motif, and rather than link disjointed sequences, they serve to widen the gaps between human encounters and actions. The only times Maria drives with a destination in mind is en route to her illegal abortion and to visit her institutionalized daughter, Kate. Early on in the film, after she gets a flat as she changes a tire it seems like the only moment of presence in the film. Tuesday Weld, who gives a fantastically ethereal performance as Maria, comes alive in this moment – focused, determined and confident for once and only.
In Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003), a whole chapter is devoted to Los Angeles on the road. The city, the most photographed city in the world, has become a non-presence on the screen – stripped of defining features to become a surrogate for literally anywhere in the world but Southern California. When it comes to discussing LA on its own terms, the city's identity has become tied to roads, freeways, and traffic – trivia enthusiasts everywhere know that there are more cars than people in the magical city of dreams.
Carrying this legacy, Play It As It Lays uses these freeways as underwritten images to offscreen conversations and voice over. The labyrinthian roads cast in sepia tones and smoky atmosphere, portray Los Angeles in a greyish tone. A helicopter shot pans out wider and wider revealing more intricacy in the freeway, revealing it to be like the inner workings of a beating heart that have lost its passion. The cars like flowing blood are grey and cold, mirroring the icy tone Maria uses to converse on the phone with a man giving her directions to the doctor's clinic where she will have an abortion.
The artifice of Los Angeles in the film is portrayed through empty platitudes and careless gestures of the people who surround Maria. Carter, in particular, embraces fakeness and embodies the toxic insularity of Hollywood life as he discusses his intimate experimental film in which Maria stars. Often caught in lies, he plays the fame game with calculated grace. His movie, which punctuates key moments of Play It As It Lays, leaves Maria bare – forcing her to break out of her comfort zone to discuss elements of her life that she clearly meant to remain private. Her performance in that film, as in life, are emboldened by Weld's acting and Perry's direction. To avoid confronting questions, Maria hums a familiar song in Carter's film, only to do the same later on in her own life. Reality loses its footing, but the dream is not much better.
Memories as montage aptly describe Play It As It Lays. In adapting her novel, Didion and her husband were able to capture the solemn alienation of her book – translating Didion's prose to images and sounds. Opening to mixed reviews in 1972, the film has found an enduring, if not quiet legacy among its supporters. Ostensibly a very feminine movie about the trials and tribulations of actresses in Hollywood, its cynicism feels exceptionally earned, rooted in dark and painful spiritual conflicts. Didion has not worked on a screenplay since Up, Close and Personal in 1996 – an experience described as "a retread of A Star is Born" in Daugherty's biography. As one of the greatest living authors, her legacy has long been confirmed in the literary world, it's about time her contributions to the screen, in particular, her work on Play It As It Lays, receive their due respect.

The social media giant, Facebook, has recently released a study claiming their platform reaches more millennial and Hispanic consumers than TV. What this study fails to mention, however, is that only the top 10 TV networks were measured against Facebook, omitting the other 100 networks Nielsen tracks. With 70% of millennials viewing programs on those other networks, it's easy to see how the omitted statistics influence results.
"Facebook said marketers could reach just 12.2% of millennials through a TV-only plan…because 70% of the viewers aren't being counted. The actual numbers: TV reaches 88% of millennials (adults 18 to 34) monthly, and 77% of them weekly" (Nielsen, May 2015).
In an attempt to uncover more accurate data, the publication Advertising Age conducted an independent study that suggests, "On a monthly basis, millennials watch 64 hours of TV, while they spend 23 hours with Facebook." While social media has certainly added new platforms for the advertising industry, TV still has the most potential to reach target audiences, including millennials.

Sony issued a consumer alert earlier this week advising all PlayStation 3 owners to only use first-party, genuine PS3 wireless controllers. The company says counterfeit controllers, which look identical in appearance, have been introduced into the market and could explode.
"SCEA advises consumers to be cautious when buying PlayStation 3 wireless controllers from uncertain sources as the quality, reliability and safety of counterfeit products is uncertain, and in some cases, may be dangerous," Sony warns.
"It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user, your PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, or other property."
Sony also said it plans to introduce software updates to disable these counterfeit and unlicensed controllers.

RELEASE: BCBC Welcomes Provincial Government Approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project
Vancouver, BC - The Business Council of British Columbia welcomes today's decision by the province to grant an environmental assessment certificate, with conditions, to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Project and to confirm that this project has met the government's five conditions. This is an important step in advancing a nationally significant project that will deliver benefits to British Columbia communities and workers while meeting growing global demand for oil.
"Today's announcement, coupled with the federal government's conditional approval of the project, recognizes that Canada can safely and sustainably protect our marine and terrestrial environments while meeting the growing global demand for oil, even as the world shifts towards renewable and lower carbon energy and cleaner technologies," said Greg D'Avignon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Business Council.
"This decision affirms that through rigorous, independent, transparent and evidence-based regulatory review processes, such as that undertaken by the National Energy Board and the Province of British Columbia, Canada can approve large-scale industrial projects and continue to be a place that is open to job creating capital investment," said D'Avignon.
"The province's consistent approach to pipeline expansion, while protecting our environment through the five conditions, has enabled meaningful economic participation by communities, First Nations and British Columbia workers," said D'Avignon. "Kinder Morgan, through respectful listening and comprehensive consultations has over 50 signed economic benefit agreements, ensuring that First Nations and communities along the pipeline share in project benefits. This will accelerate opportunities for reconciliation and lead to greater participation by First Nations in the economy."
Over the next 20 years, the $6.8 billion Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project is expected to provide over 75,000 person years of employment during construction. The project will also deliver over $490 million in construction spending in communities throughout British Columbia, in addition to the potential $1 billion negotiated between the province and Kinder Morgan under the fifth condition. Over twenty years, it is estimated the project will have a $19.1 billion impact on BC's GDP with over $2.2 billion in tax revenue for provincial and local governments.
"If you care about the global environment, and given International Energy Agency reports that the demand for energy will continue to grow, you would want Canada to be the safe, reliable and sustainable supplier of that oil," added D'Avignon. "Canada's responsibly sourced and well-regulated energy resources can play an important role in fulfilling the global need for energy, while achieving higher environmental and safety standards than most, if not all, of our competitors."
This is the first oil pipeline project approved in British Columbia in some time, juxtaposed against progress in the United States where 8,600 kms of oil pipelines have been added in the last two years, the equivalent of 7.5 Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion projects.
About the Business Council of British Columbia
Established in 1966, the Business Council is the preeminent business organization in the province with a strong history of providing relevant public policy research and advice on issues to enhance BC's competitiveness. Since its inception the Council has been fortunate to have as members major employers from across all sectors in BC's economy who have played meaningful roles in building British Columbia while employing hundreds of thousands of BC's workers.
Today, the Council is a source for insight on the BC and Canadian economies and how international trends and domestic policies are impacting our ability to compete in a global economy. Priority areas of focus include: environmental sustainability policies, economic reconciliation with First Nations, innovation, building a competitive tax and regulatory regime, supporting trade and market access, and the development and the attraction of a deep and diverse talent pool.

Honestly, it's all about the countdown to mid March for me now. My next OB appointment, my next opportunity to hear Lil G's heart, my next blood draw, and the big U/S are all within a one-week span. It's all I can do to watch the days tick down and get me closer. I feel like everything is on hold until then. I'm sitting and waiting and hoping and growing terribly impatient.
Today I wore my first maternity shirt to work. I don't think anyone knows it's a maternity shirt since I'm not really filling out the flowy stomach area, but when I look in the mirror, I look hilarious. And old. I have no clue why, but me wearing maternity wear makes me feel ancient. It's just so odd to me. But it's that or looking like an overstuffed heffer in my regular fitted clothing, and that is not happening.
Other than that, not too much is new. Headaches are a new daily occurance, and they kinda can hit the road if it was up to me. As if getting from 3 pm to 5 was hard before, now I have to do so with pain and blurry eyes. I'm still not getting the sleeping thing down yet either. I'm hoping in time I'll just be so exausted that I'll pass out, but it's yet to happen.
I'm thinking I might post another bump pic sometime this week. It's been a month, and while I'm not really huge, I can def see some changes. Instead of a puffy pouch, it's more defined now. I'll see if I can get the hubs to capture me a good shot tonight.

Afro Samurai 1
October 6, 2008
Takashi Okazaki – Seven Seas Entertainment – 2008 – 2 volumes
Another of the things you don't often see on this site are samurai manga. My roommate has been trying to convince me to start buying Lone Wolf and Cub, and while I'm sure it's good, I don't think that's the best thing for me to start with. I did pick up volume one of Vagabond, and I'm thinking of starting Blade of the Immortal now that I hear its coming to an end, but Afro Samurai is much shorter than those, and I imagine that it's much more accessible than the others.
Admittedly, I wasn't sure about starting this since the hype surrounding the ultra-hip animated version had put me off a bit. A coworker convinced me that it was more cool than over-the-top, so I decided to try it. He was definitely right. I was very worried about the mixing of technology into a past setting, and I was also worried about elements of humor seeming out-of-place. All these worries were groundless, and this is actually a pretty stylish story. There is absolutely zero humor to jar you out of the setting, and the use of technology seems limited mostly to cellphones, which actually don't seem that out of place.
The story and series itself is pretty simple. The main character, the #2 assassin, is on a quest to find the #1 assassin for reasons of revenge. Along the way, people try to kill him so they can be #2. The main character is mostly mute, and a lot of the chapters consist of fluid, stylized battle sequences. During every fight, color is used and the blood is rendered red against the black and white, which makes the art stand out even more. It's pretty fantastic to look at, and about the only thing I can think of to say against the volume at all is that the fights can get a bit confusing sometimes. I've seen much, much worse though (alas, my poor Trigun), and it's always pretty clear what's happening in the fights, so it wasn't too much a problem.
The plot is really not so deep or involved at this point, but I have to admit I kind of like the idea of ranked assassins, even if we only ever see two. It's a shame more numbers didn't come into play, but maybe we'll get to meet more as the series goes on. There was a numbered series of monks at one point who basically antagonized #2 throughout the volume and then fought him in the end, but they're taken care of by the end of the volume, and what appears to be a bearman takes their place. The main character himself is stoic, nameless, and doesn't say much through the entire book. He does a pretty good job playing the mute tough guy though, and I don't know that it would work if he was, say, talking trash or angsting or doing anything else.
The book itself is very nice. In addition to the red color used throughout for the blood, there's also translation notes included in the back that not only supply you with cultural notes, but also give you the original Japanese for any slang that is used and the reason for the translation, and this is the only book I've ever seen that romanized and translated the entire Buddhist heart sutra. I was pretty impressed by that.
I'm glad I started my journey into samurai manga with this series. I think I'll get a little lost once I start in on Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal, so reading a pure and nice-looking action series like this is a good transition, I think. Plus, like I said, I like the system of ranked assassins, so I'm definitely sticking around to see what happens with #1 in volume 2.

APARTMENT SP in Ljubljana, Slovenia by SADAR+VUGA
June 23rd, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: SADAR+VUGA
Apartment in the 19th century townhouse in Ljubljana is a place of opposites: it is both warm and cold, both soft and orthagonal. It is equally open and closed against its surroundings and both in contact and in conflict with it's past. It is an interpolation of two different but visually connected ambients with contrasting identities and materialities: the loft and the salon.
Living room, furbished in textured and warm materials, reinterprets an Art Nouveau salon. Its layered materiality – ranging from an open fireplace in onyx stone to vintage hardwood floors – is reflected in the round ceiling mirror that acts as an illusionist fresco. The room is ambientally lit: apart from the contemporary chandelier, whose light is reflected in the ceiling mirror and polished stone, the fireplace itself, with light fixtures behing the thin onyx stone, can become a source of light.
The loft, on the other hand, is defined by a grid of aluminium beams, suspended from the ceiling. The grid structures the space – kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe volumes are defined by sliding doors, attached to the structural beams. By opening the doors the living space can be extended beyond the dining room into a bedroom and a shower, thus creating functionally diverse ambients that range from straight-forward to complex.
The loft is lit by a system of reflectors, thoughtfully suspended from the grid. The materials, used in this section of the apartment – aluminium, plexi glass, textile, concrete and mirrors – further add to the industrial feeling.
Apartment's layout allows for a sort of voyeurism: the position on the sofa offers views to the city square, to the fireplace, to the dining table and inside the bedroom, and if we look upwards, even a view upon ourselves. Similarly, sitting at the dining table we can observe the kitchen, bedroom and even the shower, which provocatively borders on the living area.
Closing the sliding doors can create neat and functionally separated spaces. Opening them, on the other hand, can offer us layers of visual experiences that vary from industrial to vintage, from etheric to earthly, from the physical space to its reflection.

As I child, I loved the story of the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse and would often wonder which life I'd choose: that of the bustling cosmopolitan city or the tranquil countryside. Nathalie Pettus doesn't feel the need to make this choice. The Overlook Farm owner lives out both roles as the proprietor of the swanky Nathalie's (4356 Lindell Boulevard; 314-533-1580), her farm-to-table restaurant in the Central West End. Located in the stunning 19th century mansion that formerly housed both Savor and Salt, Nathalie's is her showroom for the bounty of her Clarksville, Missouri farm. And to think some settle for a booth at a farmers' market.
Here is a sneak preview of my thoughts -- the full review will be online tomorrow and in this week's issue.
See Also: UPDATED: Fire at Overlook Farm Burns Restaurant "To the Ground"
"Bob Weir is coming in for dinner next week," our server informed us. "Seriously. Jimmy used to tour with the Dead. He was their chef."
A Deadhead isn't exactly who comes to mind when casting an executive chef for Nathalie's; the luxe digs are decidedly more silk brocade than tie-dye. Then again, Nathalie's is much more than a fancy restaurant in a swanky mansion. It's actually the luxury vehicle by which the eponymous Nathalie Pettus brings the bounty of her Overlook Farm to town. And Jimmy? That's Jimmy Voss, the culinary Renaissance man who toured with the Dead as their personal chef, ran the kitchen at the shuttered Central West End institution Duff's, and, to date, serves as the executive chef at Overlook Farm in Clarksville, Missouri.
A hippie chef at a farm-to-table restaurant -- now it makes sense.
Hyper-local cuisine is the restaurant trend du jour, and local chefs' commitment to the movement ranges from lip-service to substantial local sourcing. Nathalie's raises the concept to the next level, with most of the food coming directly from Overlook, hand-selected by Pettus and Voss. The result is an ultra seasonal menu and plates filled with a cornucopia of vegetables, minus the middleman.

ROSS PEROT'S volunteer organization, United We Stand, America (UWSA), is ready to begin reconstituting itself as a political advocacy group, says executive director Orson Swindle. Considering that Mr. Perot's independent candidacy attracted 19 percent of the vote, the group could be a powerful advocate indeed.
Many Perot supporters would like to see UWSA take a more radical step. After Tuesday's defeat, James Stockdale, Perot's running mate, speculated that "we're overdue to be a three-party country."
However, while acknowledging after these remarks that "there is a natural evolution" from an advocacy group to a political party, Mr. Swindle advised: "Let's see if we can do the first step first and then the second [step] second."
In election-day interviews at the Perot headquarters and post-election rally, Swindle outlined the genesis, mission, and future he sees for UWSA. The organization was formed last July by state coordinators of his petition drives, after Perot announced that he would not run for president.
Its immediate goals were to put Perot's name on the ballot in 26 remaining states, and to serve as a campaign structure and staff, should he decide to run.
"What we were all about was more than just Ross Perot as a candidate for president," Swindle explains. "The intent of United We Stand, America, was to go forward, regardless of whether Mr. Perot got back in the race or not."
UWSA will be a permanent vehicle of expression for the voter dissatisfaction that achieved spontaneous self-awareness through its attraction to Perot's anti-deficit, anti-special-interest rhetoric, Swindle contends.
He says UWSA will incorporate, though probably not as a not-for-profit entity since they cannot engage in political advocacy.
By Jan. 1, Swindle says, the organization will be ready to recruit members, collect dues of $10 to $20 (so there won't be any dependency on Perot), develop bylaws and procedures, and elect state and national officers. UWSA will keep a national office, but state organizations will operate fairly autonomously. Perot role inspirational
Perot, Swindle predicts, will be involved as an inspirational figurehead. "His interest in solving the problems of the country" did not end with this election.
The group's agenda is to achieve fiscal and governmental reform through the platform developed for Perot's campaign, outlined in the book "United We Stand." Giving the president a line-item veto is "absolutely" a key goal, Swindle says. Congressional term limits and a balanced-budget amendment may also be necessary, he says.
"We literally are at war economically," Swindle says. He blames the administration, but even more so Congress for fiscal mismanagement. "They [Congress] are a disgrace in handling the pocketbook of the nation," he says.
Many reelected incumbents deserve to be ousted, and so probably will some newcomers in two years, he predicts. UWSA will be there to help dish out those just deserts, Swindle insists. Budget candidates
Swindle applauds candidates who promise to defeat the deficit or else not run for reelection. UWSA will seek such promises from its candidates. It will encourage people to become primary candidates who can be relied upon to balance the budget "and who, if they fail, would be willing to get out and let somebody else try it."
The same people who voted for Perot and worked in his campaign will join UWSA when it becomes an advocacy group, Swindle says. They are business-minded people. They have been retirees on fixed incomes - the last people one would expect to volunteer to pay higher taxes, Swindle says.
However, they're fed up with "irresponsibility, corruption, shady foreign deals, and name-calling."
Other supporters have been "young people thinking about tomorrow" and factory workers "whose jobs quit them," Swindle says, using Perot's phrase. A self-described archconservative who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam, Swindle says he frequently finds himself rubbing elbows with liberals working for UWSA.

Public Utility District No. 1 of Okanogan County ("Okanogan PUD") Commissioners approved and executed a long term Power Sales Contract ("Contract") with Public Utility District No.1 of Douglas County ("Douglas PUD").
This Contract ensures that Okanogan PUD will receive low cost, reliable, carbon free energy produced by the Wells Dam Hydroelectric Project ("Project") for as long as Douglas PUD owns the dam. Currently, Okanogan PUD receives about 25 average megawatts of power from the Project and about 50 average megawatts of power from the Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") to meet its 75 average megawatt load.
The additional generation from the Project coupled with generation from BPA should meet Okanogan PUD's projected load growth for the next thirty-five years and provide long term rate stability for Okanogan PUD rate payers.

Here I am again. I don't know why I'm here. I don't know the big picture. I don't know God's plan in this, or what His purpose is. But here I am, mourning the loss of another child. My fourth miscarriage.
I feel like my flesh and my spirit are at battle. My flesh keeps thinking "Does God hate me? Is He punishing me?" and my spirit is fighting back with the knowledge that God loves me, that I am His, and that all things happen according to His will and purpose. But I feel like this knowledge is just that – knowledge, and I'm having a hard time holding onto it as truth. I know the right answers. I know my theology. I know what I believe. But in times of sorrow it is so hard to move beyond knowing to truly believing and holding onto what is true.
I feel like I am standing on the edge of a pit and the pit is calling me to fall into darkness, depression, and despair. And there seems to be one little string wrapped around me that is just barely holding me back. I keep looking at the pit and then looking at the string, inching forward and then back, my mind pressing me towards the pit and my soul calling me to keep holding on. It feels like the pit it bigger and stronger than this tiny little string. This string that reminds me I have been here before, that God was always there, and that He brought me through. He can do it again. He will do it again. His Word, His promises, His enduring love, is a life preserver.
"If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in silence. When I thought, 'My foot slips,' your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up. When the cares of my heart were many, your consolations cheer my soul." – Psalm 94:17-19
Rylie – January 2013
Rylan – May 2013
Jesse – January 2014
Elisha – June 2016
I hope and pray I will never have to add to this list again. But naming the babies that I have lost (for life begins at conception) is truly comforting to me. Every single time I have named the baby, a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I have felt a sense of peace. It may seem strange to name a baby that hardly lived, but for me it acknowledges that this baby was a part of our family and a part of our lives, even if for a very short time. I chose Elisha because it means "God is salvation" and I am needing that reminder daily. So now every time I think of Elisha, I'll remember God is salvation, just like every time I think of Jesse, I remember that God sees. And even though Rylie and Rylan's names have no special meaning, when I think of them I remember that God is hope and peace.
My God is a God who gives hope and peace and is a God who sees and saves. That is what the Lord has taught, and continues to teach, me through these losses. It is hard to say it or even believe it right now, but God is good to use this sorrow and pain to sanctify me and to bring glory to His name, and in ways I may never know.
One of the hardest parts of this miscarriage is having Grayson, who is old enough to know something is wrong, ask why I'm upset and why the baby is gone. It's really hard to hear him ask these questions, even harder to give him an answer, but it's been a great opportunity for him to see what faith in God looks like during grief. I've been able to tell him of God's sovereignty and that even though really sad things happen, God is still in control and He has a plan.
I heard him talking to himself yesterday while he was playing. He was saying "The baby in Mommy's tummy is gone. God doesn't want the baby to be in Mommy's tummy." He doesn't know or understand the full concept of this but in his child like understanding, he does get that God is the One who decides and that it's okay. Grayson has hugged me and comforted me when I've broken down crying and he has listened when I have tried to explain, in simple words, what has happened. He's been able to accept that "God doesn't want the baby to be in Mommy's tummy" (his own words, not mine) and I always remind him that God might give us another baby someday. It has been a bittersweet experience to teach him through the pain and sorrow. And to see him grow in understanding and knowledge of the good God we serve.
This miscarriage has had so many ups and downs for me, as you can see. I go from staring into the pit to rejoicing that God is good despite my pain. Both are true, both are real. The pit yawns before me many days but knowing, believing, that God is sovereign, that His love endures, that He is good and faithful despite what I feel, and that joy comes with the morning, is what will keep me from ever succumbing to despair. He has given me so much and He has never left me. Never. He will continue to sustain me. All is not lost.
His love endures forever.

One of the key features of this blog is the glacial progress I make with these projects.
At Colours I bought an Empress Miniatures M113 APC.
There will be a full build item, but due to the jolly British weather it is on hold until I can get it undercoated.
The kit comes with optional rear fuel tanks and a TOW launcher.
However, at Warfare in Reading I picked up Crooked Dice's Villains' Programme Guide. One of the villainous organisations (United Radionics' FEDSEC) have an option for an APC. If I had read that before leaving the show, I would have bought another M113 for my FEDSEC troops to be configured with a converted Minion HMG in the cupola.
In the meantime, here is the unpainted M113 and a FEDSEC trooper.
As with all previous Empress/Imprint models, the kit goes together easily, but care needs to be taken as the resins used for the major mouldings bonds swiftly and strongly with superglue.

text: please help me in this regard. Like in Face book we can create many pages each representing separate websites. Is there any way to do this in Twitter? or I have to create new account with new mail for my new Domain? Another thing, If in the same Social Bookmarking sites I submit different domain of my own, are they counted as quality links? Or I have to create new account in the same SB sites for the new domain? I am thinking about Social bookmarking links. What's the best way? 1. Making new social Bookmarking regularly? 2. Selecting 50 SB sites then post your updates / articles in the SB regularly? and also continue making new SB account but not at a huge number? I am stuck. Please suggest guys. thanks

THE *Dafyomi *Advancement *Forum WEBSITE:
Parashat Noach 5757
Rav Preschel's suggestion is indeed eye-opening. Unfortunately, however, Rebbi Eliezer's opinion that the Great Flood started in Cheshvan is not agreed upon by all. According to Rebbi Yehoshua, the "second month" of the verse, during which the Flood started, was *Iyar*! As the Gemara tells us:
Rebbi Eliezer said: The world was created in the month of Tishrei... Rebbi Yehoshua said: The world was created in the month of Nissan...
Consequently the two differed as to when the Great Flood took place. Rebbi Yehoshua maintained that the rain started on the 17th of Iyar... while Rebbi Eliezer said that it began on the 17th of Cheshvan. (Rosh Hashanah 11a, 11b)
There remains a controversy among the early commentators whether we accept the opinion of Rebbi Eliezer or Rebbi Yehoshua (See Rashi, Tosafot and Ritva to Rosh Hashanah 8b, 12a, 27a; Parasha-Page Noach 5756). Is there any way to explain why the Flood began specifically on 17 Iyar according to Rebbi Yehoshua?
In a Midrash (Vayikra Rabba 29:1), Rebbi Eliezer tells us why 1 Tishrei is the yearly Day of Judgment. The first man was created on 1 Tishrei. He sinned, was judged and was granted life despite his sin on that same day. Hashem chose to judge mankind on 1 Tishrei every year as an omen that they too will merit atonement and be granted life on that day.
As the Ran (14th cent. Spain) points out (Rosh Hashanah 16a), this only accounts for the opinion of Rebbi Eliezer. Why should the Day of Judgment be on 1 Tishrei according to Rebbi Yehoshua, who is of the opinion that man was created in the beginning of Nissan? (See Parasha-Page Rosh Hashanah 5756). We may suggest a novel approach to this question.
The Torah tells us that although Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the New Year, when it comes to numbering the months Nissan is month #1 (that is, the New Year begins with month #7!). We count our months from Nissan in order to commemorate the Exodus from Egypt which took place in Nissan (Shemot 12:2 and Rashi). Radak (13th cent. Spain) to I Kings 8:2, Ritva (14th cent. Spain) to Rosh Hashanah 11b and others point out that it seems clear from the verse in Shemot 12:2 that *until* the Exodus, Tishrei not only marked the beginning of the *year*, but it was also labeled "month #1" in the order of the months. Nissan was granted its special status only after the Exodus, in order to commemorate that event.
This is all, however, only according to the opinion of Rebbi Eliezer. Since Rebbi Eliezer held that the world was created in Tishrei, there was no reason for Nissan to be the first of months before the Exodus. According to Rebbi Yehoshua, however, the world was created in Nissan. Shouldn't Nissan have been considered the first of months, then, from the beginning of time?
The answer to this question is perhaps that before the Exodus, Nissan *was* indeed both the first of months and the beginning of the year according to Rebbi Yehoshua. What changed at the Exodus was that the beginning of the *year* -- not the beginning of the month-count -- was shifted. In order to make Nissan a unique month for the Jewish People (who left Egypt in Nissan) and for them alone, appointed Tishrei (the month of the autumnal equinox rather than the vernal equinox) as the beginning of the year for all of mankind! The curious situation whereby we celebrate the New Year and its accompanying Day of Judgment in Tishrei while counting our months from Nissan, makes it clear that Nissan does not derive its elevated status simply out of chronological precedence.
In Rebbi Yehoshua's opinion, before the Exodus *Nissan* was the beginning of the year, the time for judgment and the beginning of the month-count only *after* the Exodus did 1 Tishrei become the beginning of the new year and the Day of Judgment.
We can now apply Rabbi Preschel's formula to Rebbi Yehoshua's opinion just as simply as we applied it to Rebbi Eliezer's opinion (in section II). The Great Flood started exactly 47 days after 1 Nissan, according to Rebbi Yehoshua, because that was the Day of Judgment during the era that preceded that Egyptian Exodus!

Did Mizoram chief minister Pu Lalthanhawla cross his Laxmanrekha at Singapore this month when he spoke at the the local Waterweek festival ? I would imagine, the answer is yes and no. We have no transcript of his speech - or a written copy, so Lalthanhawla can always say he was misquoted by the media - the usual escape route for publicity-seeking politician who shoot their mouth a bit too far. But Indian diplomats in Singapore do confirm that much that has been attributed to Lalthanhawla was actualkly said by him. The Mizoram chief minister, whose Congress party staged a grand comeback by sweeping the state assembly polls this year, said three things, according to the diplomats who were present. He said people from Mizoram and Northeast were victim of discrimination elsewhere in India, that people elsewhere in India did not even think they were Indians and that he was as much an Indian as anybody else in this country. He somewhat overstepped his limits when he used the word "racial discrimination" to describe the troubles people from Northeast faced elsewhere in India.
I see nothing really wrong with his remarks. It is true most of our Mongoloid-looking brothers and sisters are not seen as "proper Indians" elsewhere in India. Many in Delhi or Bombay or down south would mistake them for being Nepalis or Chinese. They also face a lot of trouble in places like Delhi, where a large number of Northeastern girls have been raped, molested or taken advantage of. Their distinct and somewhat westernised lifestyle and clothes often give our "mainland" brothers the wrong impression - that they are easy to have. And they face this because they are seen as different. It is a lot of ignorance and quite a lot of bias that goes to create such a situation. Even Shahrukh Khan understood (In Chak De India movie) this problem when he potrayed the trouble faced by the two tribal girls from Manipur in his world-beating Indian woman hockey team - initially these two girls were told by the heavy and huge Punjabi defender that they should have learnt Punjabi before they came to Delhi.
The neglect of Northeast by successive Indian government is further compound by the way the people of mainland India look at the region. So Lalthanhawla clearly spoke the truth when he said that he was seen as a Nepali down south and that he was as much Indian as anybody else. What he perhaops did not say but could well have is that he had to pay the price of being an Indian - specially as a Congressman in the days of the MNF separatist insurgency when Mizos loyal to India were killed or harassed.
But Lalthanhawla made the mistake of context. He said all he did before an international audience and in the context of the racist attacks on Indian students in Australia.
The Australians deserve the strongest condemnation for what is happening in that country and it is not expected that a senior Indian politician, wherever he comes from, will help them get off the hook by an off-the-cuff remark. Lalthanhawla and many, many of his Mizo brothers, one must remember, are beneficiarcies of the Indian system. He has been the chief minister and scores of Mizos now man important positions in Indian bureaucracy, police and other public services and the armed forces.
But I have a much bigger criticism to make. Lalthanhawla should look within his own society in Mizoram to see how racism pervades his own state. The Mizos fought India for twenty years to get freedom. They finally settled for a separate state. But look at the way they treat their own minorities - the Chakmas, the Brus and the rest.
That is what late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi reminded MNF chief Laldenga in 1987 when Laldenga pushed for abolition of the Chakma district council. "If you Mizos want justice from India, give justice to your own minorities, the Chakmas," Rajiv Gandhi reminded Laldenga. Look at what is happening to the nearly 30000 Brus (Reangs) who have been driven out of Mizoram by the likes of the Youngnmen Christian Association - for nearly twelve years, successive Mizoram governments have refused to take them back saying they were not Mizoram residents. That is a big lie. I was in Tripura and witnessed personally the first exodus of the Brus when they first started fleeing West Mizoram into Tripura's Kanchanpur area in October 1997. I know for a fact that most of these Brus are long term residents of Mizoram. But Lalthanhawla's predecessor Zoramthanga clearly told me in a BBC interview in 2002 - "These Brus are Reangs, they are from Tripura, they have their Rajas, they are not Mizos.
Ofcourse they are not Mizos. But who said all residents of Mizoram have to be Mizos. They are Lais, the Maras, the Chakmas, the Brus and the Chins in Mizoram - they are not Mizos but they are residents of Mizoram. No Mizo political party has any sympathy for them. All Mizo political leaders behave as if these minorities dont deserve even the right to stay in Mizoram. Government employees there can strike off the name of even a former Chakma minister of Mizoram government S.P.Dewan from the voter's list.
The minority grievances against Mizo racist domination gave way to greater unity among themselves and their organisation even demanded the creation of a Union territory in South Mizoram by uniting the Pawi, Lakher and Chakma district council.
So Pu Lalthanhawla, before he started blaming India for not doing justice to Northeast, should get his act together on the minority issue and give justice to the Chakmas, brus and the rest of the non-Mizo minorities. Charity, Pu Lalthanhawla, begins at home. Take back the Brus from Tripura and give them back their lost homes before you blame Indians for "racial discrimination" against Mizos or Northeasterns. Atleast mainland Indian people can be blamed for ignorance when they think you are Nepali . But Mizos know their minority - and the chief minister should take the lead in giving them justice if he feels so strongly about racial equality.

okay, so i decided to start a blog…..for a number of reasons…..
1. to have a place to think about my life, family, career, health, faith, marriage….i am a verbal processor and it was either this or therapy…let's be honest, it may be both
2. to have a record of my days. i want to be able to look back on my life, see how far i've come, where i need to grow..
3. to appreciate life more. to be more grateful. to be able to easily see and read all i have to be thankful for. because it's too easy to forget..
4. to document our life leading up to kids, a house, and any other 'big' life moments
5. to help other people. or at least let people know that there is someone else similar to them out there. someone else with struggles, up, downs, etc..
6. really though, i just think it may be fun and we shall see where this goes!
it may be random, poorly laid out, misspelled, and otherwise unorganized, but it will be real. it will be me.
